From the Black Viewpoint By James Cuthbertson Vote: Hague/ Burgess and Knight M^y of U.N.C.-C.’s 3,000 students never ta^ the time to get involved in many of the extracurricular activities that are available to them. Many don’t have the time, and many lack the initative. It is therefore gratifying when one sees an individucd or a group of individuals who want to get involved. There are three members of this year’s Freshmen Class who involvement in the most vitd organization on campus, ^is vital organization is the Student Legislature and the wree members are Miss Brenda A. Hogue, Miss Dorothy Elizabeth Burgess, and Miss Wyietta (Koko) Knight. Miss Brenda A.

While at Scotland, she was active in the band, the «ench Club, the Latin Club, the School’s Interracial Nations Committee, the Intramural Basketball team, and the Volleyball Team. She maintained a 92 average while in high school. At U.N.C.-C., Brenda is a member of the Blackfriar’s Publicity Committee and the Student Housing Advisory Committee.

The Star Spangled Banner Award „ In a past issue of THE CAROLINA JOURNAL (September r ’ Vol. 2) in the viewpoint “The Weight - Carry the ^ad Together,” I said that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg ^nooi Board would probably disassemble their plans for the replacement of Second Ward High School. In recently puDlicized plans, Mr. Poe has recommended that the $2 rereion that the Board put aside to spend on new ^wppolitan High be spent instead to enlarge other thi^^°^W-Mecklenbu]^ schools. This qualifies him for his Spangled Award. Because of this, he wifl be qj F^JJ^ad by being inducted into the Stars and Stripes Hall iQPs i; ‘Whm WarrU* kit, Stnator, U That They' By Robert Grey X m o > 3D o They glare (though no one stares at thern) persistently, nudged by cement and zinnias, and thrust cards into circles with the motion of a stone-struck pond. Memory is hidden- curled up with the cats and primers- hidden in a dusty corner where the sound of no one shouting scares the silence z > o c 3D Z > Marching through thin parks castrated by a dozen streets, they lead uncounted thousands- represented by a few clean shaven boys, a fat-thighed horse and possibly a cannon as they howl out of the present to the west, the south, the north and east. Memory has fallen on its memories- has driven them to suicide. Sometimes after hours they will loom majestically upon a stump or stallion, on guard before the courthouse. The tough cadavers, blacked and bleached, stand, stare, and tell their time, while something smothers under stone. Nothing moves. Nothing grows. They stand, trapped by their molds, yet roll their solid eyes as if they wish to tell me of a dream. iO o> Memory is short- its legs swing from the chair; it cannot sit at the table where the grownups eat. Cold stone, I cannot linger, blinded by another dream. Rif- . 11 To the Editor; I would like to bring an issue before the student body that I feel to be of grave concern. The issue is a matter of fair play. The problem is that: Posters announcing a meeting of the Young Americans for Freedom oi«anization have been tom down I ,fktTpi*S by some unknown persons on campus. I wish to protest the action by these people for three reasons: (a) the action is unfair (b) the action is unjust (c) the action is undemocratic. First, the action is unfair because students are being denied information that might be beneficial to them. The YAF deserves the same opportunity as any other campus oi^anization. Next, the action is unjust because justice demands an equal opportunity for everyone, not just certain groups. Finally, the action is imdemocratic because there is no opportunity for presentation for opposing views if the YAF is suppressed. The liberal position has been made clear many times; it is now time to hear from the moderate-conservative side. Thus, in the sense of fair-play and justice, I made an appeal to_ the student body to give the opposition a chance to exist. Next week I will be a member of the YAF; so this letter had to be written this week. -Allon H. Thompson All letters submitted for publication to the CAROLINA JOURNAL must be signed by the writer.
