advise the University of North Carolina at
Charlotte September 22 and 23 on its

management.
The consultants are Dr. Donald John Dart,
president of St. Andrews Presbyterian
College; Dr. James F. Kane, dean of the
College of Business Administration at the
University of South Carolina; Dr. William A.
Owens, Jr., Director of the Psychometric
Laboratory at the University of Georgia; and

^nd City Executive of North Carolina

Association of Collegiate Schools of Business
m 1967-68. Dr. Kane was formerly executive

The UNC-C graduate program must go
through the appropriate channels for the
approval of graduate work by the University
of North Carolina and then to the North
Carolina Board of Higher Education.
The 1969 General Assembly gave the
Board of Higher Education authority to
recommend approval of the spending of $2.3
million for new programs at state universities.
Officials at UNC-C hope to receive funds from
this source for the graduate program in
business.

“On Campus”, UNC-C’s
weekly television program may
very well be bi-weekly this year.
ITie show will be telecast on
Thursday nights at 8:00 p.m. with
a possible re-run broadcast on
Sunday nights.
Wayne Eason, one of the
producers, has promised that this
year’s show will be entertaining as
well as informative. Whereas last
year’s “On Campus” was almost
exclusively a “talk show”, this
year’s version will be
“experimental.” Wayne indicated
that the staff of the show will try
to cover as wide a range of topics
as possible. The telecasts will
involve anything from music,
poetry and local talent to
discussions of campus, local and
national issues. In general, the
staff will try to cover all aspects
of University life and those things
that affect it.
The staff consists of Wayne
Eason and Roland De Loche,
co-producers; Paul Ferguson, host
and moderator; Ron Foster,
Special Activities director; and
Clay Owen, Public Relation’s
director.

September 24, 1969 The Carolina Journal, Page 3
Blacks Hired
Dr. Allan Palmer, chairman of the Division
of Economics and Business Administration at
UNC-C, said that the new program will be
called the Master of Management rather than
the Master of Business Administration
(M.B.A.) because it covers a broader scope
than just business administration.
The proposed program would allow
options in financial management, industrial
management, marketing and transportation
mans^ement, and public administration.
Dr. Palmer said that the proposal for the
master’s degree program in mane^ement is
•made in response “to a large and increasingly
acute demand for versatile and well-trained
managers and administrators in a dynamic
urban environment.”
He said that there are at present no
opportunities for graduate-level education in
management in .the Charlotte area.
The proposal documents the case for the
program and lists the number of persons from
area industries expressing an interest in
graduate study in management. Some of the
firms with lai^er numbers of employees
expressing interest include Duke Power
Company, 76; North Carolina National Bank,
75; Fiber Industries, 50; First Union National
Bank, 44; Collins & Aikman Corp., 34; Union
Carbide Corp., 27; Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph Co., 20; and Wachovia Bank
and Trust Co., 17;
The total number of requests for the
program to date is 660.
