Page 4, The Carolina Journal, 1969 From the President's Desk Billups Exits, Warns Against Apathy Student Government must be a continually working force for the students of this University, and it must also be a body which views the total scope of campus life from academic to extracurricular. Student Government, if it is meaningful, will overcome the failures and exeed the successes of an individual or group of individuals. Bud Stewart, the new SGA President, will be sworn in today, and the following are just a few of the general areas I feel he and his administration will have to concern themselves with based on positive or negative results and reactions from the past year. The selection by the president of a Student Advisory Council Chairman is one of the major tasks. The responsibility of this position can reach great breadth, and the job from this year on will have a year and a half duration. Tlie SAC replaces the Freshman Advisory Council as there has been a realization that the total Student Government Association (Student Body) must be reached. The student handbook, THE GOLD DIGGER, can be of value to the students, and it should, more than ever before, be a STUDENT handbook. The ad-hoc committee for Community Affairs can possibly become one of the most vibrant forces on and on behalf of this University. A framework must be established which is better organized, and the full view of communication, TV, radio, newspapers, the addressing of groups, and the visiting of schools, etc., must be investigated and co-ordinated. A truly meaningful course evaluation would be of benefit to all in the University system. The evaluation committee, presently only involving students in organization, needs to involve faculty and cctain administrators. The question of University Governance confronts all phases of the University Community. Somehow students, faculty, and administration must be interrelated to prevent duplication and misunderstanding and to provide true University growth and communication. The University Governance Committee and the University Council are examples of groups which must continually endeavor to ask questions and seek answers. I do not view the new part of the University community, the dormitory students, as the salvation of an apathetic student body. However, 1 do see these students as providing new impetus for the new year as their presence challenges every leader to improve every facet of his actions. Publicity standards of the University must be strengthened and enforced. The elections must be seen to have more meaning, and they must be handled better. As long as the class system is the basis for student representation, 1 hope the initiative will be shown that the Freshman class of this year has demonstrated. No matter who the campus leaders are, each year it becomes increasingly important for every sector of the University to co-operate and communicate with the other sectors. Bud has the potential to be a great leader. Peter Abelard said, “For by doubting we came to inquiry, and by inquiry we perceive the truth.” A.K. Psi Banquet Held Eta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi, professional business fraternity, held its First Annual Founders Day Banquet on Sunday, April 20, 1969. This was the final formal activity for the 20 graduating seniors, most of whom are charter members. Charles S. Myerly, C.P.A., partner-in-charge of Ernst and Ernst, a local C.P.A. firm, was received into the fraternity as an honorary member in recognition of his leadership in business, achievements in the accounting field, and civic service. Other distinguished service awards presented were the Sterling Silver Award to David Herman (the first president of Eta Omega) for past service, and the Bronze Award to Danny Phillips for his contributions this year as Vice-President. Also included in the program was the presentation of the chapter sweetheart, Miss Donna Stewart, and the formal presentation of pledges before they become brothers by Rick Mitchell, Pledge Master. Speaking to the group of brothers, faculty members, and guests, was Jack Smith, a national speaker. His message on “Know Yourself’ was the highlight of the banquet.

One final word-Bud holds a higli, important position, but every other student representative, whether elected or appointed, must be as diligent a laborer in his position as the president is in his. Pride is the key for all the representatives. Pride which is not arrogant or boastful but is meaningful. That pride is not pride in personal achievement, hut is pride in the achievement of the University. My sincerest thanks to those who assisted, criticized, listened, or questioned this year. A special thanks to Stewart Auten. Vice-President, Mrs, Patsy Stokely, and Kay Watson, Treasurer and Secretary, respectively. I also would like to thank R. T. Smith for his criticism and suggestions this year, and for his active concern to ask if student government is truly meaningful. Jose Feliciano Some months previous THE JOURN.AL reviewed, at different times, two recordings of Jose Feliciano. One was "Felciano!” and the other was “Souled Out," For this issue we’d like to present to you reviews of the two albums that preceded those two. Let's begin with Feliciano’s first RCA album. “Fantastic Feliciano." (LSP-.JSS"!), I'll just list for you some of the superb songs contained iir it: "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons." “Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)," “Bye Bye_Blackbird.“ “1 Wish You Love," “I Miss You So." “To Each His Own," and “Nature Boy." Lhe album's release set the stage for Feliciano. His popularity grew. The public wanted more and more of that soul-filled voice. .So much, intact, that, RCA followed the first hit album by a second. “A Bag Full of Soul, Folk, Rock and Blues," (RCA LSP-.J503), On this album are such songs as “A Woman. A Lover. A Friend." “Goin’ I'o Chicago Blues." “Where I'm Coin'," “Work Song." "Spoonful." the song by the Beatles, “Help!" and that beautiftil “protest sotig" by Bob Dylan, “Masters of War." It's rare that ati artist can be such a hit so sooti as is Jose Feliciano. Those who like this artist, and wish to keep up w'ith his recordings, had better get hold of “I'antastic I-'eliciano," and “A Bag Full of .Soul, Folk, Rock and Blues." his albutn recording-releasing talettls gel loo far aitead of your colicctionn. Golden Songs Batchelor (Continued from page 3} separate freshman course books from upper level course books to allieviate some of the congestion in the bookstore in September. This was done last fall, and the consensus seemed to be that it did help to some extent. Slater food services cater for both N. C. State and UNC-Greensboro. At both of these institutions the majority of students are unhappy with the quality of food that they are served. The Business Manager assured The JOURNAL that the poor service there was a direct result of the limited amount of funds that the school pays them to feed the students, and that if Slater is chosen, the amount per student will increase and that the quality of the food will be improved corespondingly. The business office also checked into an additional pay phone for the Union and has been told that it will be installed by the fall, ♦EDITOR’S NOTE: Dean MacKay and the Student Housing Council recognizes the necessity for enlarging the bookstore in this area and is attempting to make some provisions in this direction for the fail. ■ Once in a whilc-a long whilo-a record company will produce a recording of an original artists songs played by a orchestra. For instance. The Hollyridge Strings produced several albums of songs by The Beatles. The idea behind this type of production number is to cast the tone of the original artist into smooth orchestrations suitable for those who etijoyed the song when the original artist released it, but didn't particularly care for the artist. Weil. The Johnny Aithey Orchestra has just recorded on the RCA label an LB by the name of “The Golden Songs of Donavati.” This alintm does recapltire the artistry of Donavan with the intent, we suppose, that he wrote each of them. On the album are: “Mellow Yellow" “Catch the Wing” “There Is a Mountain" “Sunny Goodge Street” “Wear Your Love Like Heaven” “Sunshine Supertnati” “Jentiifer Juniper” “Skip Along Sam" “F'at Angel” “Colours" “1 lurdy Gurdy Man” “Hampstead Incident” So, the only thing to say is, if you don't like Donavan-it’s difficult to see why, though-but you do like tr> hear his songs, then RCA and T'hc Johnny Arthcy Orchestra have dojie you a favor. A big favrn with “The Golden Songs of Donavan.” A New Crusade Flamenco of the gypsies, OrictUal hints, Greek gaity, R &B - all combine to make IIFIRB BERN.ST'FTN’S NEW CRUSADE the adventure in music that it is. With guitars, percussion, and bra.ss. Herb has built up a sound on this Ip that is iu)t soon to be forgotten. He travels to the many genre of music and britigs from each a distinctive flavor. Then he moulds the different sounds into the eclectic bag that juxtaposes calypso and llamenco, pop and soul. The piccolos add ati especially exciting tone to the tunes as Herb and his orchestra demonstrate them. “Delilah” and “My Girl” arc a couple of well-known songs that benefit from the New Crusade on the first side of the album. “While You Were Out” is a not-so-wcll-kiiown ctit oti that side that utilizes tuba and bass trombone for power and weaves in the light government on campus. The campus was under observation by police for several hours while the blacks made speeches and argued with white students. Wlien the whites went back to the business of being students, the blacks broke up and went home. And so passed the most racially tense day at UNC-C during the past few years. 11. F. N. Stewart won the election for the SGA Presidency in the lightest voter turnout in years. This lack of concern for the office on the part of the majority of the students has been analysed in various ways, but one conclusion is obvious: if this turnout is indicative of the future of student government at UNC-C, then the students will not derive much benefit from college here other than academic benefit. jobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjob.sjobsjobsjobsjob.sjobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjobsjo jobs SUMMER JOBS There are many other stories, too numerous to mention, that might be seen as worthy of inclusion in this list, especially the reception of several large sums of money by the school. Below I have listed the stories that 1 would classify as possible breakthroughs to the list: the arrival of Dr. Paul Miller, the N. C. Legislature bill that suggests the franchising of Asheville-Biltmore and Wilmington Colleges as Universities, the University Forum, Steve Rayborn's classic post-election-victory flight, and the student reaction to the Belk Tower. Future events may even point to other occurances not listed here as especially significant, but it is quite obvious that this has been a newsworthy year at UNC-C. jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs WE HAVE A SPECIAL JOB JUST FOR YOU!
