Wonder Boy Strikes Again
Some of the nation’s leaders in Engineering Education will come to UNC-C Jan. 8-10 to evaluate
the institution’s engineering program. They will include Dr. Gordon S. Brown, formerly dean and
now a distinguished professor of engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Dr. Ray Bolz^
dean of engineering at Case-Western Reserve University; Dr. Newman A. Hall '
the Commission on En^neering at the University
engineering at the University of Massachusetts.
of Illinois; and Dr.
executive director of
Kenneth Picha, dean of
Stevie Wonder is back in
the album-making business.
His newest release of the
long-playing variety is
entitled FOR ONCE IN MY
LIFE and is, to say the least,
a supurb album of its type.
Stevie Wonder (notice the
absence of the old “Little
Stevie’’) is growing musically
faster than he is physically.
On his new Tamla release
Stevie explores the realms of
music from Bobby Hebb’s
“Sunny" to Herzog and
Holiday's “God Bless This
Child.” The adolescent
wonder also composed a
couple of the cuts on the
album (“I’d Be a Fool Right
Now’’, “Do 1 Love Her,”
“You Met Your Match,” and
others). The title song (“For
Once in My Life”) is still
riding high on the
charts-fourth in the nation
last week. It has that fresh,
invigorated sound that Stevie
gives to all the “oldies” he
treats, and we do mean
“treats”, for every minute of
this new and wonderful LP is
at least a treat for any pop

Contract Awarded
For New Gymnasium
GrristnitLS is different tilings to different people.
The University of North
Carolina at Charlotte has awarded
contracts for a $3-million gym,
expected to be one of the most
dramatic in design in the
Southeast.
The emphasis in the health and
physical education facility will be
upon the participant in physical
activities rather than upon the
spectator. However, the major
basketball court will have movable
seats for approximately 3,500
persons.
The seating area is expected to
serve as an auditorium until the
University can obtain funds for
that purpose.
In addition to the major
basketball court, the building will
include the following facilities:
-Four intramural basketball
courts
--A nine-lane Olympic
swimming pool with both one and
three meter diving boards and
seating for 900 spectators.
—A gymnastics area
- A wrestling room
-A weight training room
--An adapted physical
education room
-Seven handball courts
-30,000 square feet of office,
classroom and research space.
The general construction
contract was awarded to F.N.
Thompson, Inc. of Charlotte at
$2,009,354. Other contracts were

Perspectives on Mid East Conflict
By Barbara Jean Smith
“If one studies the
question of the history
whole
of the
crisis (Arab-lsraelic) at least from
the first World War, he finds it
very difficult to learn what the
truth is." This statement made by
Dr. Loy Witherspoon, Chairman
of the Department of Philosophy
and Religion, incited the Journal’s
interest in the opinions on campus
about the conflict between the
Arabic nations and Israel. Dr.
Witherspoon, who is a protestant
and not only has studied about
the situation but has also lived in
the Middle East, gave further
insight on the subject.
Witherspoon stated that the
recent history of the crisis started
with the promises and pledges
made to the Jews and Arabs
during World War 1 in an effort by
Britain to neutralize the peoples
against Germany. One of these
promises resulting in a heavy
imigration of Jews into the area of
Palestine and inciting the alarm of
the Arabs, was the Balfour
Declaration of Brittain. This
declaration established Palistine as
the National home for the Jewish
people.
The second World War again
eased the tension of the peoples
of the Middle East and they
turned their attention to the
international crisis. But after
World War 11, because of the
atrocities committed against the
Jews, a nationalistic
movement-the Zionists-was
created by the Jewish people in
Israel. This movement was created
to nationalize the Jews and to
create a national home
land-preferably Palestine.
A U.N. Commission was set-up
after the War to study the
problem. The result of this
commission was the statement
that the Biblical claims of the
Jews were no basis for their claim
on Palestine. Other areas were
offered for the national home
land, but were rejected by the
Jews because of the emotional ties
to Palestine. The inter-play of
world politics resulted in the U.N.
proposing to establish two states
in Palestine- An Arab state and an
Israellc state. The Arabs answered
this proposition by saying that if
the policy of two states went into
effect, the result would be war.
Dr, Witherspoon feels “It’s one
of the great tragedies and ironies
of our time.” Asked way it is
ironic, he explained that in both
national mythos, the Arabs and
Jews lay claim to Palestine
because of the Founding Father
of their nations, which is the same
man-Abraham. Abraham had two
sons, Isaac and Ishmael-lssac
giving rise to the Israelic nation
and Ishmael to the Arabs. The
Zionists in Israel claim Palestine
because of the Biblical promise to
Abraham of a holy land.
The general feeling of the
people talked to, both Arabic and
Jewish, was a concern for the
displaced Arab refugees in
Palestine. There are the people
who have lived in Palestine for
centuries and now due to the
immigration of Jews into the land
are loosing their homes.
The opinion of most of the
people asked about the situation,
was anti-.war.
Robert Winton, a UNC-C student,
added that “My people (the Jews
in Palestine) are fighting hard and
will not give up the land because
situated on the coast, once they
begin loosing land, they have no
where to go but into the ocean.”
Winton believes that the Jewish
people should gain more land in
case they begin to loose some in
the future. Winton also stated that
he is doubtful that the Jews will

Fees and movable equipment
brought the total cost to
$3,028,103.
A total of $3.8 million had
been authorized for the building.
Architect William Little attributed
the fact that the bids came in so
far below estimates to space
saving features in the building.
The University received a
federal grant of $1 million on the
gymnasium project.
Construction is expected to
begin by the first of February.
Mr. Little says that the exterior
of the building will be of white
precast aggregate face concrete
panels with brown brick stair
towers.
The stair towers are a
prominent architectural feature as
well as providing access to the
three levels of the building.
The pool will be located at the
rear as a wing protruding between
the two rear stair towers.
The building will be situated on
a prominent knoll west of the
University Union to which it will
be connected by a mall. It will be
visible from Highway 29 and will
overlook a valley which will
contain the proposed outdoor
playing fields.
The facility is expected to
allow UNC-C to upgrade its
athletic program as far as indoor
sports are concerned.
Dr. Newton H. Barnette,
Chairman of the Division of
Engineering at UNC-C stated that
the men were selected because
they are top leaders in their field
and creators of innovation in
some of the best engineering
schools. The consultation is being
made possible by planning grants
totaling $85,000 provided by the
Mary Reynolds Babcock
Foundation and the Z. Smith
Reynolds foundation. The studies
are under director of Dr. Paul A.
Miller, director of university
planning studies and distinguished
professor of education.
Dr. Miller said that the
objectives of the consultation are
to learn from the educators the
shape of engineering education in
the next decade and to have them
to react to, criticize and make
suggestions on a UNC-C proposal
for engineering education.
Part of the UNC-C engineering
proposal is included in a request
for funds from the 1969 General
Assembly. The request would
provide for a program in
engineering technology. The
engineering technology program
would take students after they
have completed two years in the
technology track of the state’s
community colleges and give them
their final two years of education
for a college degree.
