Some of you readers, that small handful, have expressed
dissatisfaction with the “mystery” surrounding the pseudonyms of
“W.l.T.” and “M.F.” This dissatisfaction, you say, has caused you to
read this column on a less frequent basis. “W.l.T.” will reveal his or her
identity at some future date; “M.F.” choses to unveil now. “M.F.”
happens to be Wayne Eason, JOURNAL Business Manager, or as it
is,-me.
I hope to bring to your attention a few of the latest recordings in
fine, quality entertainment ranging from pop artists to some select
classical collections. That list of artists includes Jose Feliciano, Hugo
Montenegro, A1 llirt, Arthur Fuedler and the Boston Pops, Peter Nero,
Eugene Orrnandy and the Philadelphia Philharmonia, and Johnny
Mathis. My goal is to reach student and faculty with a sincere interest in
quality music, and from time to time. I’ll review quality dramatic and
top-tJight performances in the Charlotte area. If you have any
preferences to any particular area of entertainment or any suggestions,
drop me a line c/o THE CAROLINA JOURNAL.
Jeannie C.
FOR COUNTRY MUSIC
FANS ONLY all others can
stop reading here. If you are
truly a country music fan,
you’ll love Jeannie C, Riley’s
new album YEARBOOKS
AND YESTERDAYS. If you
like to gape at females. Miss
Riley in particular, you may
never get past the cover,
which has eight color photos
of Jeannie on it.
Instrumcntally, the best thing
on the album is the intro to
“What Was Her Name.” 1 he
songs of Myra Smith and
Margaret Lewis continue to
tell small town stories about
small town people. Jeannie
sings them in the folksy,
down-home tradition that has
become her style. The entire
album is built around the
theme of high school
memories - Edna Burgoo and
Charlie Brown (another
one!). The featured song on
the disc is “The Girl Most
Likely.” The girl most likely
to what? Most likely to get in
a jam. And, sure enough, she
does. They didn’t have *fo
condemn her just because her
dress and shoes were tattered,
did they? But her “sex appeal
showed through" and she
looks a little large for her
clothes now. The doctor’s son
is about to face a shotgun.
And “there’s a lot of ‘most
likelies’ in this town.”
Perhaps Jeannie’s little town
is a microcosm that includes
all the types of people
encountered all over the
world. The album is much
more interesting for its
homespun philosophy than it
is for its songs, which all
sound nearly alike. Listen to
the words and ignore the
tunes, if you can.
Steve & Edie
Last Wednesday night on the Kraft Music Hall. Steve Lawrence and
Lydie Gorme appeared in a musical hour captioned, “\yiiat It Was, Was
Love.” Through the use of pre-recordings of video tape of the two stars
in New York’s Central Park and in-studio scenes, the theme of the
musical Is the story of boy-meets-girl, boy-loves-girl, boy-marries-girl,
and man and woman experience life as young marrieds with their up’s
and down's. The story concludes with the two patching their
differences and growing old together.

49’ers Win One, Lose
Two in Crucial Week
Overtimes were the bad times
for the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte basketball
team in the past week. The 49ers
lost two ballgames out of the last
three in overtimes. The first lost
was in the first game of the week
with Belmont Abbey.
With a 40-28 lead at halftime
the Crusaders of Abbey were in
the position in which most
expected them to be. But the
Charlotte five were not to be
denied that easily. Behind the gun
of Ben Basinger, who has been the
leading scorer all year, the team
out scored the crusaders 35-22 in
the second half to tie the score
and end the regulation time in a
tie.
The Abbey had the chance to
take the win, but they muffed
three tries- at the basket. UNC-C
lost a 4 point lead in the overtime
and finally fell to the Crusaders
73-71.
The refs in the game appeared
to be off-duty monks. It seems to
be shouting “sour grapes” when a

losing team says anything about
the refs. But this is a case where
something un-nice should be said
about the refs.
Friday night at Rocky Mount,
“Gun” Basinger hit the all-time
high of 32 points to push the
49ers past Wesleyan College. The
team coasted to an easy 75-64
victory. The win put the UNC-C
team with an 8-8 overall record
and a commendable 8-3
conference record. Basinger had
help in beating the Wesleyan
team. Donahue had 14 points and
Lemmond had 10.
Saturday night the 49ers fell in
defeat to Methodist, but only
after three overtimes. UNC-C had
control of the game all thru
regulation time and lost several 9
point leads to let Methodist sink a
jumper with three seconds left to
tie the score. The 25 points of
Basinger (again) and Turpin with
the 20 points of Lemmond and
Donahue were not enough to hold
back the tide. There were no
points scored in the first overtime.
Speak Low
There will be an
organizational meeting of
Young Americans For
Freedom Wednesday, Feb.
12, at 11:30. See Ed^Stone,
Kurt Taube or John Surratt
for details
THE SHARON STATEMENT
(adopted at the founding
conference of the Young
Americans for Freedom at
Sharon, Connecticut, September
9th through 11th, 1960)
In this time of moral and
political crisis, It is the
responsibility of the youth of
America to affirm certain eternal
truths.
We, as young conservatives,
believe that foremost among the
transcendent values is the
individuals God-given free will,
whence derives his right to be free
from the restrictions of arbitrary
force; that Liberty is indivisible,
and that political freedom cannot
long exist without economic
freedom;
that the purposes of government
are to protect these freedoms
through the preservation of
internal order, the provision of
National defense, and the
administration of Justice;
that when government ventures
beyond these rightfull functions,
it accumulates power which tends
to diminish order and liberty; that
the Constitution of the United
States is the best arrangement yet
devised for empowering
government to fulfill its proper
role while restraining it from the
concentration and abuse of
power; •
that the genius of the
Constitution, the division of
powers, is summed up in the
clause which reserves primacy to
the several states, or to the
people, in these spheres not
specifically delegaged to the
federal government,
that the market economy
allocating resources by the free
play of supply and demand is the
simple economic system
compatible with the requirements
of personal freedom and
Handbook
Organization copy for the
1969-1970 student handbook will
he due the first week in March.
Each organization that wishes to
be included in the book, whose
main purpose is the orientation of
freshmen and transfer students, is
requested to submit copy
outlining the activities, purposes,
and membership requirements for
the organization. All organizations
are reminded that it will be to
their benefit to submit their own
summeries. This eliminates the
necessity of someone who is not
acquainted with an organization
having to attempt to explain it to
new students.
The Handbook Committee will
also appreciate any pictures that
can be supplied by the
organizations. Pictures and copy
should be turned in to the Union
information desk no later than
March seventh.
Would old will have approved
of the recent trend in literature,
theatre, and films? Not from the
standpoint of matters of s x(we
have young readers too, you
know).
Anyone wishing to serve on the
‘69-‘70 staff of the handbook
should contact either Bill Billups
or R. T. Smith immediately.
Typists, proofreaders, writers, and
artists are needed. Anyone who
wishes to submit a cover design
should contact one of the above.
The University Union
committees, the particular
functionaries of SGA, and the
campus organizations are
reminded that they, too are
requested to compose their own
copy for this year’s edition.

that it is at the same time the

CURTAIN CALL
All the world’s a stage—and it
grants little time for intermission
between the acts.
Each team scored 11 points in the
second overtime. And the 49ers
were 4 points behind the 13
points of Methodist when the
buzzer sounded in the third
period after regulation play.
Anthony, Basinger, and Turpin
had fouled out when it was all
over. The 49ers held a five point
lead early in the third overtime
but lost it. The final score of
111-107 left the Charlotte Five
with an 8-4 Conference record.
The lost also cost the team any
chance for first place position in
the Conference, if Greensboro
continues to win.
The team is to be congratulated
for its efforts this season. The
losses they have sustained have
been the close type. And even
though it is the final score in the
game that counts, the 49ers have
not been out of play or far away
from the winning score. They
have played and played well. And
the conference record speaks for
itself.
“There is nothing either good
or bad but thinking makes it so.”
(Hamlet II two. 259)
I don’t think that the war in
Viet Nam is bad, I know that it is
bad.
“The hardest knife ill-used doth
Iffse his edge.” (Sonnet 95)
Yes, even the best of men,
placed in a base situation, will
cease to exhibit the best virtues.
There is no such thing as a ‘good’
president. One can only be better
or worse than others; the role
limits a man far more than most
people ever realize. How right
Shakespeare was when he said
“Misery acquaints a man with
strange bedfellows.” (The
Tempest II. two.41)
Case in point-that miserable
fellow that’s been in bed with my
brother’s wife; now there’s a
strange case.
“The better part of valour is
discretion.” (King Henry IV, part
1 V. four. 120)
In Uncle Sam’s Army, they
shoot men for discretion in the
face of the enemy.
“Speak low if you speak of
love.” (Much Ado about Nothing
II. four. 103)
Shakespeare had a way of
including the formula of the
universe in a single sentence. If we
could remember this exacting
statements while we stand in lines
to buy books, lines to register,
lines to eat lunch, lines to drop or
add courses, bread lines, induction
lines, crooked lines, by-lines, lines
to the bathroom, lines to pay
speeding tickets, reception lines,
or lines in winter (whew), well, we
would still feel bad as hell about
it!
“The web of our line is of a
mingled yard, good and ill
together.” (All’s Well That Ends
Well IV. three. 83)
But don’t forget, neighbor, if
you don’t keep your
cotton-pickin’ dogs and kids outta
my yard. I’ll shoot ’em.
