Amid the decorations of kites for the month of March and the music of Loonis McGlohan, tlie Miss
UNC-C dance was held despite the white covering on the ground. 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 nominations for officers of
the University Union will be
reopened Tuesday, March 4 and

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

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.

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.
