UNC-C to Seek Funds
Lost in Budget
Reprinted from the
RALEIGH The
administrators of UNC-t' will go
back to the legislative well on
March 4, asking the General
Assembly to restore some $5
million that the Advisory Budget
Commission slashed from the
campus' requests for the 1^69-71
biennium.
UNC-C Chancellor Dean W.
Colvard and the chancellors of the
other three university campuses
made their “top priority” requests
Monday at a meeting of the
Consolidated University trustees
at N.C. State. They will make the
requests again before the House
and Senate appropriations
committees.
UNC-C’s key items included an
office of university development,
a master of arts in teaching
program, “faculty leadership”
positions to add experience to a
basically young faculty, programs
in architecture, business
administration and engineering
technology and a language
laboratory.
Charlotte Observer
In capital improvements,
Colvard strongly supported two
new dormitories, a earth-life
science building, a health services
center and outdoor physical
education facilities. The
dormitories would be paid for out
of student charges and not be
constructed “until there is a clear
demand for the 1969-71 biennium
and the additional funds will be
available.”
UNC-C will be asking some
$1.8 million in new programs and
$3.7 million for capital
improvements. Its original request
was for about $4 million in new
programs and $2.S million in
capital improvements. The
Advisory Budget Commission
proposed some $655,000 for
programs and $390,000 in capital
improvements.
Colvard recommended that the
architecture, business
administration and physical
education programs be started in
the 1970-71 academic year. The
original request was that they
start this fall.

Ben Basinger Enrollment Goes Jc Or»ti m i «ti e
UNC-C MVP TT^ U,. O/; C07„
Ben Basinger and his 49er
teammates travelled up to the
Dixie Conference tournament
with something to prove.
And they were not going to be
denied.
For Basinger it was a matter of
pride. Just previous to the start of
the tournament, the
all-conference team was
announced. Basinger, the only
possible candidate from UNC-C
for a first team position, was
denied a spot and was relegated to
one of six second team berths.
The 6-6 junior was obviously
miffed at his lack of recognition.
“Fm going up to Greensboro to
show the mistake those guys
made.”
Indeed he did.
Basinger did not settle for three
respectable games. He put on a
sterling offensive and rebounding
show, assuring himself a spot on
; the all-tournament team and
earning the coveted most valuable
I player award for the tourney.
Team leader Jerry Anthony
summed up the sentiments of the
entire team as they prepared for
the tournament.
. “We knew that with our
basketball talent we were a much
better team than the second place
tie we achieved during the regular
season.”
“The team knew what it had to
do and we just went out and did
it. We played our own tempo and
didn’t panic when pressed.”
For coach Harvey Murphy the
championship was very sweet.
“1 wanted this one very badly.
I’m very pleased for the boys.
They couldn’t have played
better.”

Up by 26.5%
Reprinted from THE CHARLOTTE NEWS
Enrollment for the spring
semester at the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte shows
an increase of 26.5 percent over
the spring semester of 1968.
University officials said that
this will likely be the largest
percentage increase among the
state’s four-year institutions.
UNC-C’s 16.7 percent increase in
the fall led the state.
Enrollment this semester is
2,308 as compared to 2,351 for
the fall semester. This is the first
time that the spring enrollment
has so closely approached the fall
figure. In the past there has been a
substantial drop in enrollmen
from fall to spring.
The spring enrollment includes
52 persons taking UNC-C courses
at the Celanese Corp. plant in
south Charlotte.
In addition, a number of
students are taking work on the
UNC-C campus with credit given
by other institutions. They
include 186 students in teacher
education graduate extension
courses from UNC-CH, 34
students in social work graduate
extension course from UNC-CH,
and 15 in graduate education ex
tension work from N.C. State Un
iversity. Another 33 students are
taking a review class for the North
Carolina Engineering Registration
Examination.

Another conference champion,
McAfee in the 880 yard run,
highlights the middle distance
runners. Joining him are
cross-country runners Eddie Frias
and Woody Frick along with
freshman Jerry Anderson.
Although the 49ers will be
going with two freshman in the
sprints, Walt Pearce and Bob
Jones, it appears now as if they
won’t be hurting themselves at all.
Pearce ran a 9.9 100 yard dash in
high school and might pose a
conference threat. Jones is a
versatile sprinter, and possibly will
be used in the hurdles.
An impressive array of field
men complete the team. Ben
Basinger returns as the conference
champion triple jumper. Dave
Lorenz and Ed Echeverra will
share the javelin and shot-put
activities, with Echeverra possibly
throwing the discus too.
Potentially, the most explosive
athlete on the team is pole vaulter
Greg Eckerd. In practice, Eckerd
has vaulted a foot over the
conference record. With the aid of
a special, custom-made pole, he
might soar to unequalled heights
this season.
After finishing second last
season in the conference behind
Lynchburg and fifth in the NAIA,
the 49ers naturally hope to
improve on these positions. As a
result. Coach Harvey Murphy has
scheduled meets against strong
track schools, in an attempt to
prime the 49ers for the
tournament meets.
Following the Catawba meet
comes a meet with Atlantic
Giristian and St. Andrews at
Laurinburg on March 26, one with
Davidson on March 29, Western
Carolina on April 4, and one with
Lynchburg and High Point at
Lynchburg on April 10. All meets
are away.
