Page 4 - The Carolina Journal, September 17, 1969 Editorial Bits and Pieces An Accolade to the Administration As usual, orientation week was hectic, but, amazingly, this year there was, as the saying goes, a method in the madness. Our registration process (or processes since it chances every semester) has never enjoyed a particularly favorable reputation. This year, amid all the confusion caused by the new residence halls, we expected both the line and the time necessary to complete registration to be longer than ever. Instead registration went more smoothly than we have ever seen it. Maybe a workable solution has at last been found. A Commendation to the New Residents While we’re handing out praise, a large portion of it should go to the new residents of Sandford Hall for their cheerful and uncomplaining acceptance of a bad situation. Thought this may be a bit premature since we have only had students in residence for a little over a week, it looks as if the residence halls are going to make all of the anticipated differences in the life of this University .-that is if we can manage to keep from being effected by that strange malady known as the “suitcase syndrome.” A Special Thanks Comment On New Faculty A Little Newspaper Philosophy Colvard Lists Accomplishments In a speech made on September 9, Chancellor greeted new and old members of the faculty. His remarks included a recounting of the University’s past accomplishments and expressed his hopes for an equally-pro- gressive. We of the CAROLINA JOURNAL staff felt it noteworthy to re-print a list of the achievements cited in the Chancellor’s address. 1. Appointment of first divisional chairman 2. Two departmental chairmanships filled - Dr. James W. Green - Sociology; Dr. Schley Lyons - Political Science 3. Secured appropriation to initiate a program in architecture 4. Undergraduate major programs planned in art, religion, and German 11. Held first student- faculty-staff retreat 12. Gave approval to the establishment of social sororities and fraternities, and colonization of Pi Kappa Phi as the first one 13. Dedicated Van Landingham Glen 14. Received Legislative approval and/or appropriations for University Health Center, an addition to University Union, landscaping plans and improvement, additional dormitories, some outdoor recreation fields,, language aboratories, utility expansion, md other improvements. 15. Purchased thirty additional acres of land for campus. 16. Started construction on cafeteria, physical education building, classroom building, and completed plans and received federal portions of funds required to start construction of new library, fine arts building, and renovation of Kennedy Building. 17. University Governance Committee made progress toward proposal for governance 18. Defended appropriations for substantial expansion of library holdings - apparently with considerable success 19. Record year in private gifts directly to University and to the Foundation of UNC-C 20. Further involvement of students in University affairs We would like to say a special thanks to Dean MacKay and all the others who made the transition from a commuter college possible. A quick glance over the roster of the new faculty and their credentials is very impressive. To use the English departrnent £is an example, this year there will be three published writers teaching freshman English. This is unique opportunity. Hopefully the students will take advantage of it. We would like to give a part of our newspaper philosophy so that our readers will have some idea what to expect from THE CAROLINA JOURNAL this year. We will make a few changes from last year’s format, and we would like for you to understand why. The primary difference is that we believe, along with a majority of the student press, that anything that is published less than daily is not really a newspaper at all but is, in reality, a news magazine. This shift in view changes the whole structure. And once freed from the conventional boundaries, many innovations in writing style as well as in layout may come into use. Though this campus is basically conservative, we definitely feel that the students should be made aware of what is happening in the student movement. To this end we intend to publish reprints from some of the underground newspapers. Both the l2inguage and the general tone of the articles will probably shock the uninitiated, but we believe that it is mandatory that our readership be aware of what is going on in this very vocal segment of our society. This year for the first time THE CAROLINA JOURNAL is joining approximately 400 other college newspapers in the United States Student Press Association. The benefits from membership in this oi^anization are many as will be seen during the year. Finally, we would like to remind the reader that unless otherwise stated, the opinions given each week in this space are those of the Editor, and she assumes full responsibility for their .contents. Any signed retort will be published. 5. Completed plans to activate first graduate degrees of Master of Arts in Education and Master of Education, beginning in the 1969-70 academic year. Defended appropriations - apparently with success. 6. Completed plans to activate Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree in 1969-70 academic year. 7. 100,000th volume added to library. 8. Selection of Director and full activation of Office of Planning Studies 9. Expanded activities in community and urban affairs by: a. Receiving grant of 79,000 from Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation for a project in urban education b. Sponsoring ‘‘Project Opportunity” for junior high school students from culturally deprived areas c. Co-sponsored seminar for interns working in Charlotte with local government agencies 10. Received a gift of $170,000 from Miss Alice Tate to support a professorship in black studies and scholarships for black students LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS YOU FILE A WEGisrei^iN^ NOW ' ■ p^h Yo ’oEAnoiJJ^ ’SUIPFKhs’ AT PESK 4^ ^turning ■Students eeasrazAr table yy f itfref.
