Page 2 The Carolina Journal Sept. 2, 1968 r*****'*'*******-*********** *******♦♦****♦*♦********♦ New Annuals Are Here To really understand last year’s annual, you must know somthing about the red-haired editor who was in charge of it.l'jancy Bryant Kimbrell, “Candy” to her friends, has an imagination Which must border close on crazyness,, a wit of the first magnitude, and a unique eye for detail. These qualities arc blended with an almost live-on-the-wild-side attitude and arc finally rolled into a damn- the-establishment temperament. She has produced an annual which will be enjoyed even by those who do not understand it. The subtlety in it is remarkable. Only in a few instances does she loose it, such as the blowup of the hand in the picture on page seven. It would have been more congruent if she had left the explanation out. Candy has accomplished what many Annual editors try, but fail at miserablely. She had captured the year in pictures - thouglit pictures, fun pictures, stupid pictures, good pictures. She resorts to words only when it becomes necessary and there is no other possible way to explain what needs to be explained. The “Happy Motoring” picture at the top right hand corner of page five is an excellent example of the work of photography that is displayed throughout the annual. I refuse to belivc there is a |{olai'a«*l (Mill) l*i t>\ itifs l]\cliaiio:(‘ I his fall the Rotaract Club will establish a free hook exchange as a service to the students at this school. The exchange will operate as a conlciiuous process, and will serve as a communication center through which those wishing to sell books can find the oppoi I unilies available for sale. Ihe exchange, which will be located in the Union will be operated by having a person wishing to sell a book to file a card with the book title, author, course, his price, his name, and a way to contact him under the department through which the course is offered. I'he buyer mearly looks through these cards, and removes those for books he is going to buy. Me tiR-n arranges to meet the seller, and makes the transaction. 'lire Rotaract Club will keep fresh file cards at the exchange for users, and will update the file each September, removing out of date books and books offered by (Kisons no longer in school. John Lofferty, Rotaract treasurer asks for maximum involvement. “Your participation is invited. seriousness in the “Brother Ink Blot” theme that crisscroses the Book. I am going to belive that it is a joke, an excellent joke, but still a jbke. Candy slips when she pictures the “Bods” on campus. 1 think many will agree that ALL the girls pictured in that souldn’t be there. Some section got into it by a backdoor entrance. But part of that mistake is corrected by the fine job of photography. The section of the not-so-all-American guys is unique and interesting. Ttie sports section that follows avoids the sterotyped sports section of most annuals. The book does away with the group shots and substitues individual shots of the participants. This policy is followed not only in the sports section but also in the rest of the book. The individual shots show action through the season. The picturing of the “Brass and “Mindbenders” is nothing but fire. It catches many if the admin people and the profs in the moods and manners which the students know them best. The titles to each of the sections is also a fine way , a new way, of handling the sections. Candy just was not content to do things the way they have always been done. Again she docs it better. Nothing can be said about class pictures. They must be there for Just as a general is not really responsible for a victory, neither is Candy entirely responsible for the annual. Candy, of course, had help and they, the members of her staff, are to be congratulated. The combination of talents under Cany’s direction has produced a truly fine yearbook. They can really be proud of what the final product is. Candy, dear you have got a job! On Campus “Charlotte, the Queen City.” What, if anything, does it have to offer the more than 15,000 college students in the immediate area? research, such as the Public Library, be expanded and improved to insure the availability of vital materials to these students? In what ways does Charlotte fulfill, or fail to fulfill, the cultural needs of this growing number of college and university students? Is the entertainment offered in this city of Ihe type and the price that college and college-age people are interested in and can afford? How can the facilities for Host Lanier Jones and students from Queens College and this campus discuss the answers to these and other questions in an effort to put Charlotte, as a college town, in the proper perspective. Hear their ideas, opinions and suggestions in some pointed commentary tomorrow night at 7:30 on channel 42, WTVI.

A little spice has been added by the jumbling of letters at the bottom and top of some of the pages. Some of thee sayings are witty, some are clean (a few), some are dirty; all are fun. As for the pictures of the students themselves, they are good. And a few, such as the one on page 144 of H. M. Nutts, keep you wondering and guessing. “The Gallery”, a new feature of the annual, is an excellent idea. It should be continued in all the coming annual. There were mistakes made in the book, either by Candy, the publisher, or both. Most, like the one on page224 where a negative is printed backwards, will never be noticed. Unfortunately, many of the messages, such as the one on pages 212 and 213 where the alcohol bit is pictured between the head and tail of a donkey, will never be noticed either. Dear Editor, Republicans Issue Challenge! The Young Republicans Club of UNC-C issues a challenge to campus student at their meeting last Wednesday. The YR’s have challenged all students of every political persuasion to actively support their candidates for office. It is hoped that all interested Republicans will accept the challenge by supporting the campus Young Republican organization. For the coming year, there are many activities in the formulative stage and any support will be welcomed. In the coming weeks, the YRC is working with projects designed to better acquaint the public with Republican ideals. Projects are under way to work with precinct surveys, to speak before interested groups, and to bring to our campus outstanding Republican speakers. New ideas and any suggestions for future activities are welcomed from all interested parties. Prospective members are urged to attend the meeting today at 11:30. The room number will be posted in the Union lobby. If you are unable to attend, however, and would like to become involved, contact one of the newly elected officers. These officers are: Dear Editor, The service of those who have given unselfishly of their time and talents to help the University does not go unnoticed. It should be brought to the attention of those on this campus that there are among them people who are working for the University as some might not have believed. We wish to thank Earl Baucum, Peter Donahue, Larry Williams, Mike Purser, Bill Billups, and Mike Ridge for their assistance with the Festival in the Park Eric Anderson Dear Editor: We would like to thank Dr. Hogan of the Biology Department for his art work on the rock at the entrance to our cross-country course. Last week’s (CAROLINA) JOURNAL ran a photo of the rock, but made no mention of Dr. Hogan’s work. This marker adds to the uniqueness of our course and is symbolic of the spirit of our team.
