From Campus Queen To
Admissions Counselor
Miss M.: I’m an admissions
counselor. I approve admissions
for the freshman. I try to
determine if they will have a good
chance of succeeding academically
in our university. This is a
decision made on the applicant’s
records, his college boards, and
Miss M.: Nope, an old maid.
Jour: How far does the
University reach to draw its
students?
Miss M.: I travel all of North
Carolina, and some of the more
popular areas around Washington,
D. C., Spartanburg, S. C., and
Atlanta, Ga.
the recommendations he has
received.
Jour: How is the selection
made?
Miss M.: About 65% by the
records and 35% by the board
scores.
Jour: Is this a firm policy?
Miss M.: No, not at all. The
recommendations can often show
what numbers can’t. Bud, you
better not write that down about
having parties.
Jour: How did you get the job?
Miss M.: A job like this finds
you. I was called and asked if I
would accept the work since I was
qualified for it. I said yes.
Jour: “Earleen” is an
interesting name, how did you get
it?
Miss M.: From my father. His
name is Earl - not Earleen.
Jour: How old are you?
Miss M.: 22
Jour: Are you engaged?
Jour: Do we draw students
from Atlanta?
Miss M.: We have had five
requests for applications. If I can
get hold of the counselors in the
schools in these other areas, they
can explain what we have to offer
to the students. In North Carolina
the students themselves come to
Birth
Control
Lecture
Dr. Elizabeth Corky, Director
of the Mecklenburg County Birth
Control Clinic, will give a lecture
Nov. 20, sponsored by the Union
Program Board in the Parquet
Room at 11:30. The lecture will
deal with birth control and its
impact upon the population
explosion, the family, types of
birth control, and the
Mecklenburg County Birth
Control program.
Jour: Are you then “selling”
the university?
Miss M.: I’m trying to acquaint
people with what we have to offer
the students. Spread the word.
I’m not recruiting. Recruiting
usually means giving a scholarship.
Jour: Do we turn down many
applicants?
Miss M.: Not a large percentage.
Jour: How are we classed
among other universities in
comparison?
Miss M.: We use the minimum
regulations set by the state law.
We theoretically don’t have a
space problem, so we have to
accept all that are eligible.
Jour: How long are we going to
“theoretically” not have a space
problem?
Miss M.: The dorms might bring
a double standard for selection.
I’m speaking only from my own
opinion. This year we filled the
8:30 to 11:30 classes this
semester.
Jour: What influence will the
dorms have?
Miss M.: One-third of the
student body will live on campus.
Jour: Do you think that the
dorms will be filled?
Miss M.: Yes, especially the
girls’ dorm.
Jour: We are an inexpensive
college, does that make a
difference?
A graduate of Grunell College,
with a Medical Degree from the
University of Michigan Medical
School, Dr. Corky spent thirteen
years in China, was Asst. Health
Director for Wayne and Green
counties in Eastern N.C., and
Asst. Health Director for
Mecklenbury county before
assuming her present post. Dr.
Corky has two grown children and
is the wife of Professor Corky of
the UNC-C Philosophy
Department.
something to offer? How does this
school compare with other
colleges?
Miss M.: I’m not really
qualified to answer that question.
We have a good academic
program, but we can’t compete
with schools having journalism or
pharmacy or programs which we
haven’t developed yet.
Jour: Would you give me an
idea of what you say in a talk to
perspective students?
Miss M.: In the talk I try to
answer the general questions
which the students will have.
Questions such as what are
admissions requirements. The
parents want to know what is the
cost. 1 also stress that we are going
to have dorms. 1 usually carry a
copy of the annual with me to
show to the students.
Jour: 1 don’t ever get a copy. 1
would like to have copies to take
with me.
Jour: Would you like to have
about five copies of each paper
sent to you?
Miss M.: Yes, I would - that
would be great.
Jour: So what’s coming in the
future.
Miss M.: I’ll be traveling in
North Carolina for the next three
or four weeks. We do have a good
time on the road.
Jour: Who is “we”?
Miss M.: The college reps for
the college days at different
schools. It’s not like being on
your own. All of these people
help you around the places they
know. They are a pretty good
group, these “road” scholars.
Jour: In the future...
Miss M.: I’m going to spend
about a month and a half in
England and Germany this
summer.
Jour: Thank you.
Miss M.: You’re welcome.
Faculty Tries to
Approve Open Meeting

By Marlene Whitley
Last spring, the Executive
Committee of the General Faculty
approved a motion granting
officers of the Student
Government Association an
invitation to all remaining faculty
meetings of the year. During that
period, tradition was cracked as
officers observed the previously
secretive procedures of the
academic and administrative units.
Recently, faculty members
voted upon a recommendation
which would make permanent the
invitation extended the SGA
officers in May, 1968. The
amendment was defeated!
Probably, the first reaction to
this would be indignation; the
faculty apparently dispises
students. Upon closer
examination, however, the only
prompted feeling is sheer disgust!
To begin with, total eligible
voters comprising the
administration number 156. The
constitution states explicitly that
a two-thirds majority (104 votes)
is needed to carry any proposal.
After tabulation of ballots, the
final results were posted as
follows: 94 for; 23 against; and 2
abstentions. In simple
Impressions On Elections
By Donna Raley
“What do you think of Nixon
winning the election?” When
asked this question last
Wednesday, several students
replied negatively, some
positively, and some, unless really
pressed for answer, indifferently.
The average, informed population
on the UNC-C campus seemed
relatively pleased with the
outcome of the election. Those
who were in favor of Humphrey
or Wallace responded with a shrug
or a laugh, but never with a reply.
Poor losers? A good many people,
it seems, hadn’t really thought
about whether Nixon or
Humphrey won or lost, only that
Wallace didn’t win. Many staunch
Wallace supporters even seemed
idignant.
Miss M.: Yes, that’s bad, they
(the applicants) are asking what
we have to offer in their academic
Many knowledgeable students,
especially those over 21, had
taken the time to recognize the
issues in an effort to cast their
vote effectively. Those under 21,
although unable to vote, still had
definite opinions. What were the
reactions?
Ron Foster: “Down with this

Although I believe Humphrey was
an optimistic, sincere, human
being, 1 do not believe that he was
the man to lead the country for
the next 4 years. Not that Nixon
excites me that much, but 1 too,
am an optimistic person, and look
forward to a change for the
better.
Jour: What’s bad about being
inexpensive?
Miss M.: You said we were
“inexpensive.” Students in
Atlanta ask why we are
inexpensive. Students in Asheville
ask why we are so expensive.
Jour: Then you feel
academically we really have
John Dabbs: “George will be
back.”
Vicki Crosland: “I’m really
disappointed. I’m worried about
the situation of the country.”

Humphrey all summer, 1 feel this
country is being done a great
disservice by the electoral

Mike Armstrong: “Relief.”
Connie McCoy: “I’m happy
about it.”
Soniz Mizell: “1 haven’t

Mike Purser: “I love it. I
couldn’t have stood Humphrey.
When I voted, 1 was taking the
Vice President more into
consideration. Nixon doesn’t
disappoint me. The candidate I
wanted wasn’t there so I voted
more for the party policy.
Bill Hamilton: “Considering
the choices we had, 1 think it was
the best that could have been
made.”
Dan Warren: “Nixon impressed
me very much and 1 think he can
lead the country better than
Humphrey could have.

voted!
Clearly, it is not a case of:
student hatred on campus: rather
the results exemplify (now what's
that word again?) APATHY on
the part of too many UNC-C
employees.
WIren asked to comment on
general faculty sentiment. Dr. I
Rieke apologized, “Most of us I
were concerned about the matter
and wanted it to pass; however,I
just not enough voted to obtain
the needed majority.”
A cross survey taken by the'
newspaper revealed that out ofl
twenty members, eighteen were in I
favor of the amendment. '
Mrs. Newman, a newcomer to|
the faculty this year, wondered,
“Wliy not? 1 can’t see any reason I
for keeping them (the students)!
out.” !
UNC-C '
One honest man remarked that,
he couldn’t see anyone desiring]
the torture of a faculty meeting.l
“They’re hell! But if the officers*
want to come ” i
Another professor remarked,
thought it DID pass!” |
Those two who objected to the)
motion generally .agreed that suchj
an amendment would destroy the*
only privacy that they had on!
campus.
Still another, though, stated^
that she saw no way that student |
observation could hinder the ideas,
and opinions of the general]
meeting if the members really |
believed in them to begin with. I
Noteworthy was one]
professor’s thought that, “1 can’t
see why so many votes are
necessary for a majority.
Certainly, much of the trouble]
lies within the constitution's
definition of “General Faculty.”
When the constitution was created]
in 1963, practically all of the]
faculty were enthusiastic,'
part-time members of the'
teaching, research, and library
staffs. Necessity, therefore, earned
them the right of membership.
Today, however, most faculty
members are full-time workers,
and the few part-time members no
longer care so enthusiastically
about voting on ANY issue. It is
these unconcerned adults who
make it nearly impossible to'
attain the two-thirds majority
necessary for adopting 1
resolution.
With all these poor reflections,
however, hope still exists for the
future. There are several,
indications that the amending
process may be altered so that a'
two-thirds majority of full-time
members ONLY will be sufficient!
in passing a recommendation.
In the meantime, one highly
intriguing problem remains: how.
is the faculty ever going to get
enough votes to amend thej
amending process of what now
appears to be a very amended
organization?
