The Rogues ‘n’ Rascals was
denied a request for an additional
$2,241 last week by the Student
Legislature.
According to co-editor Peggy
Caldwell, the money was
requested in order to meet
printing costs for the 1971-72
edition of the annual. The staff
was asked to print 3700 annuals
this year instead of 2700 as
originally planned.
In other action Sanskrit,
UNCC’s literary magazine,
suffered a revocation of it’s
charter and its funds were frozen
until a new constitution was
approved by the Judiciary
Committee.
During debate over the
allocation to the annual, questions
were raised by Judicial Committee
Chairman William Winn, over the
Co-ed living in near future
A loose-knit group of students.
Working with the Housing Office’s
support and guidance, have begun
the groundwork for introducing
co-ed living at UNCC. The
students have also submitted to
the Chancellor a structure of
housing priorities for future
dormitory assignments.
Called the “Housing Priorities
Committee,” the student
membership varies from five to
ten and is chaired by Cindy
Holmes, Nursing Representative,
SGA. At their initial meetings in
September, the group drafted
from proposals of Ed Wayson,
SGA Veep, a set of five housing
priorities:
‘‘Priority 1 — continuing
students who live in the dorms.

‘‘Priority 2 — incoming
freshmen and transfer students
who live out of commuting
distance. February 5 being the last
date for application. Sixty percent
(60%) of the available dorm
spaces would be reserved for this
priority.
‘‘Priority 3 — continuing
students who have never lived in
the dorms but are out of
commuting distance. February 12
being the last date for application.
Ten percent (10%) of the available
dorm spaces would be reserved for
this priority.
‘‘Priority 4 — continuing
students who live in commuting
distance. February 19 being the
last date for application. Ten
percent (10%) of the available
dorm spaces would be reserved for
this priority.
‘‘Priority 5 — incoming
students who live in commuting
distance. March 3 being the last
date for applications. Fifteen
percent (15%) of the available
dorm spaces would be reserved for
this priority.-
“The remaining spaces (5%)
would be reserved for all students
who did not gain dorm space on a
first-come, first-serve basis. All
quotas are based on a
sliding-percentage basis. For
example, if the 60% quota is not
filled in Priority 2, the remaining
spaces would slide down to
ftiority 3 and would be available
to those students.”

In a meeting of the Committee
on Oct. 14, the results of an
inspection trip to Duke
University’s co-ed dorms were
discussed. SGA President Stan
Patterson was present and
indicated his full support “of the
efforts to bring co-ed living to
UNCC.”
Sally Garr, a semi-leader of the
group, was the most enthusiastic
exponent of the co-ed living
concept. “At Duke, they had a
real sense of community. There
was a great deal of ‘spirit’ in
everything they did together.”
Much of the discussion
centered on the “type” of living
arrangement. Duke, it was
reported, has both suite and floor
situations. Most of the students
indicated a preference for the
“suite” design for co-ed living.
“Sure, you have to mature
faster,” Sally Garr said, “but the
real sense of community we saw
there was impressive.”
Humphrey Cummings asked
about “problems they
encountered” and was told there
were none of any consequence.
“There was some co-habitation,
but those few instances occur
everywhere, including here,”
replied Sally Garr. .
Assistant Dean of Students
Lon Weston stated that he was
“skeptical’’ that the
Administration will go along with
a proposal of co-ed living for
UNCC’s dorms. The Committee’s
time for acting on the matter was
decidedly limited, however.
Weston advised that Dean of
Students Dennis Rash had asked
for research on student opinion of
the co-ed living idea by Oct. 22.
Weston suggested some type of
“Gallop Poll” and the meeting
turned to selecting questions for
the poll.
Some of the problems yet to
be resolved by the students are
crucial to the proposal’s success or
failure. Even the name is
questioned. “Alternative living was
suggested rather than “co-ed
living” by Sanford Hall
Administrator, Marian Beane.
“Many students who were in the
by michael mcculley
dorms this summer say, ‘We know
about co-ed living. We had that
this summer.’ What we’re talking
about is quite different from just
living in the same dorm,” she said.
The Committee’s priorities and
information on co-ed living
opinions, probably to include a
proposal for structuring the
system at UNCC, will have to be
forwarded to the Dean of
Students and then to Vice
Chancellor Cone for approval.
When asked who has ultimate
approval authority for co-ed living
at UNCC, Lon Weston replied,
“The Chancellor.”
The Committee will be meeting
again to further consider these
and other housing matters and
Cindy Holmes stated that “all
students who wish to help in this
work would be more than
welcome.”
Housing Applications for the
Spring Semester are now available

interested in moving in to the
Residence Halls during the coming
semester, should pick up an
application in the Housing Office
immediately.

justification of having co-editors
for the publication and over the
salaries that the editors and the
business manager drew.
Each co-editor receives $500
salary, and the business manager
$400.
Miss Caldwell assured Mr. Winn
that the salaries had already been
set by the Publications Board and
the SGA’s hands were tied
concerning that matter.
She said that this allocation
would decide whether or not
UNCC would have a first-rate
annual.
Two substitute motions
constructed to reduce the size of
the request and to prevent use of
it for salaries were defeated.
After more lengthy debate,
which included charges
concerning misuse and
imbalancing of funds by the
Publications Board, the motion
was brought to the final vote.
The motion for allocation was
defeated by a vote of 12-8.
When asked about plans for
financing the annual after this
action, co-editors Caldwell and
Melanie Wilson said “they would
just have to take the money that
they had and try to produce the
publication.”
Business Manager Garry Scotty
said that they would re-submit the
budget in another form.
Judiciary Committee Chairman
Winn said that the Sanskrit was
Currently “under investigation”
and that in the meantime their
constitution would be nullified,
thereby freezing their funds.
Mr. Winn would not elaborate
on the investigation, saying that
he would make a complete
statement at a later date.
The second issue of this year’s
Sanskrit was ready to be laid out
when editor Michael Dobson
received word that his funds were
to be cut-off as of, Wednesday,
Oct. 20.
Dobson said that, for the
present, he would stop all work
on the publication.
Mr. Winn asked for a
Presidential intervention in the
rewriting of the publication’s
constitution.
