The dance which had been cancelled early in the day was re-scheduled and went on as planned. The highlight of the evening came as Dr. McEniry assisted in the crowning ofDianneScoggins as Miss UNC-C for the year of ‘69-‘70. The new Miss UNC-C was presented a bouquet of roses and then she and her court had a special dance. To those who braved the weather to attend, the evening was delightful. During the hurried last minutes of decoration and preparing the refreshments for the event, the admission charge was forgotten and all couples, to their surprise, were admitted free. The court is as follows (see above picture) Paula Gallant, Debbie Feure, Barbara Jean Smith, Dianne Scoggins, Donna Raley, Dee Dee Vaughan, and Bobbe Berry.

The trip will be Billups: What’s Wrong With Idealism” (Continued from page 6) of acceptance to a school is a poor token effort to alleviate problems. This token never destroys the problem and often magnifies it. The demand that black faculty members be employed by the university is a fair demand yet the St that,.j,pioyment of such individuals iry be ails to points, ailable studies rculty, cetned e not leeded black trol of n and faculty 'erence if out black. agaig ssue of e ratio vhite is ce at a true of must not be a token effort to appease any request or demand. It is true that full effort may not be made to hire black faculty members or administrators; however, the use of the word ‘immediate” shows the failure of Mack students to understand that money is involved and people must accept such offerings of positions. Demand four asks the administration to consider some decisions and rules already prescribed by the state of North Carolina. Such consideration is always valuable. The fifth demand is totally n'sn “ absurd as it dictates the make development of the very thing of rersity, juhich they accused the University administration “institutionalized racist educational system.” The black students and the white students should be respected as similL-'jiriividuals. No special treatment ng the of either should be allowed, rantinp Tutors should be available for every student desiring them. In essence, the fifth demand is incorrect in that it emphasizes a man’s color and not his ability. The sixth item again demands special treatment of black students. In demand six as in demand five, if the demand were that the academic achievement in high school be the only basis for admission into the university the situation could be viewed differently. Unfortunately, the demand is that black students receive special basis for admission, and unfortunately, again an emphasis on a man’s color rather than potential. The seventh demand that is that the administration publicially denounce Governor Scott’s “police state” policy towards state supported schools should be considered and ananlyzed providing the administration with e means to take a stand on an important issue concerning education and the political scene. The main emphasis must be that if the administration makes a clear statement as to its feelings concerning any of the Governor’s policies such a decision must be made because the administration feels the decision is correct and not because any group of Governor Scott himself, makes the demand. The 8th demand is very vague as it demands that all racists members of the faculty and administration be dismissed immediately. What is racist? Is not the request for a special black student union racist? The 9th demand is only a sad but clean demonstration of the lack of true desire of the black students to emphasize the university as a whole; it request that the university acknowledge that the black student union have the power to determine the destiny of black students. What true understanding can come when the black forces polarize or the white forces polarize. The 10th demand truly shows failure of the students to understand that even if the administration wanted to acknowledge all 10 demands that it is humanly impossible that they could be met by Monday, March 3, 1969. The 3rd phase of the controversy of the week came when some white students recieved a copy of the demands and started a petition which read as follows: “We the undersigned support the opinion that the demands made by the black students on the school administration are absurd and that none of their demands should be met. We, tbe undersigned, also agree to support any decision of the school administration in dealing with this problem, even though their decision may be contrary to the above stated opinion.” The circulation of such a petition was a reaction which may in some ways be justified, yet as a reaction only and not a true attempt to work for that which is right. The allowing in the petition that the administration may make a contrary decision to their own and they would support this decision clearly emphasizes to me that they were reacting against the black demands and not for any positive programs which the black demands may have suggested. I am very saddened that in almost all cases the emphasis was on race and not what would benefit the university and white racist action is to be deplored by all, but black racist action in no way dissolves the problem and only intensifies the situation. The university is a place for the individual to grow and develop, and it is a place where he must be accepted for himself - not as a member of any race. For this reason 1 will support any student in a request that he feels is fair, if the important goal is the rightness of the issue, and not the emphasis of color, creed and religion. Each man must attempt to understand every othe rman, and attempt to put himself in the other man’s positions This may be idealism, but what is wrong with idealism that can become reality? What Trophy? from April 3 to April 8, Tbe cost is $115 by March 15 which includes a round-trip chartered bus to Miami, room, food, and port-taxes aboard the new S.S. Bahama Star to Nassau and return. The bus leaves Chapel Hill on Thursday, April 3 for Miami. The ship sails Sunday, April 5 for Nassau. The ship is Air-Conditioned, has a pool, bar, and orchestra. If there are enough people from Charlotte and Greensboro, the bus may be re-routed to slop there instead of just Chapel Hill. Any interested student should contact Bob Welch by leaving a message in the Recreation Committee mailbox this week. (Continued from Page 4) Nashville? THE NASHVILLE GUITARS IN TIJUANA is a collection of catchy tunes played by some real professional pickers. The group goes through such favorites as “Spanish Flea,”“What Now My Love,” “Spanish Eyes,” and “Guantananrera” with gusto. Another not-so-well-known selection is “Bandido.” The sound effects and novelty make it one of the better songs on the album. The album is sure to go over well with those who really dig the Spanish “happy” sound, but the music really isn’t deep.
