“Bambi will have some records
to give away at her show,” Debbie
said. “It should be a great Carnival
and I hope all of the students
come, have fun, and help others at
the same time.”
The United Way is a single
campaign to collect funds for 47
separate agencies, including the
American Red Cross, Boy and Girl
Scouts, Open House, Salvation
Army, and U.S.O.
As an example of the service
provided by these agencies, last
year the Red Cross collected and
provided to Mecklenburg citizens
21,144 pints of blood.
Bell gifts
Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company has given the
College of Engineering two RCA
301 computers.
The gift was announced at a
luncheon for Southern Bell and
UNCC officials, including John J.
Ryan, vice president and general
manager of Southern Bell in
Charlotte, and Chancellor D.W.
Colvard.
Cost of the computers when
placed in service at Southern Bell
was approximately $130,000
each. One was placed in service in
late 1964 and the other in early
1966.
The machines have the
capacity to store and recall
20,000 characters of information.
Dean Newton H. Barnette, of
the College of Engineering, said
the computers are to be used
primarily in computer electronic
technology courses. UNCC does
not have the peripheral equipment
needed to use the computers for
problem solving, but Carter Grant,
chairman of the Departnemt of
Engineering Technology, said that
he hoped it can be acquired in
time.
Mr. Grant said that the
computers will help the
technology students to get inside
to trace circuits, see the pulses
and do things they couldn’t do
with the machine in UNCC’s
Computer Center.
In addition to these gifts,
UNCC has purchased a new $1
million Burrough B5500
computer for Computer Center
use.
Washington, D.C. (CPS) —
Asserting that “college students
are entitled to the identical First
Amendment protections on the
campus as they or any other
citizen would have in the
community-at-large,’’ the
American Civil Liberties Union
asked the Supreme Court to
review two cases: one involving
demonstrations inside campus
buildings, the other involving
official recognition of student
political organizations.
If the court agrees to hear the
cases, it will mark the first time in
'37 years that the Justices have
addressed themsleves to freedom
of speech and assembly for college
students.
The ACLU noted that “by
virtue of tlie 26th amendment,
almost every college student is
now fully enfranchised and
entitled to participate in the
political process.”
Two years ago the Court ruled
that a high school student could
wear a black arm band during
moratorium activities in Tinker
Vs. Des Moines Independent
Community School District.
However, it has not ruled on the
First Amendment rights of college
students since the 1934 case of
Hamilton Vs. Board of Regents of
the University of California.
The 'demonstration case arose
at Madison College, a state school
in Harrisonburg, Va. Ironically,
during the student reactions to
the invasion of Cambodia in April,
1970, about 25 students and
faculty assembled in an open
campus building, and expressed
their intention to hold an
5 million
overnight vigil in protest of the
firing of several teachers. That
vigil was held successfully, but
when the group held a similar
demonstration two nights later,
30 of them were arrested by
campus police.
liie case was carried to the
U.S. District Court, which ruled
the college regulations requiring
48 hours ■ advance notice of
demonstrations unconstitutional.
The regulation that was struck
down also required that any
unauthorized assembly of
students had to disband upon
demand of any administration or
student government official.
The Court said the definition
of “demonstration” was
unconstitutionally vague; the ban
on indoor demonstrations was
uiiconstitutionally broad; the
registration rule un
constitutionally barred
spontaneous dissent.
The Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals, however, overturned the
District judge’s ruling.
The second case concerns
students at Central Connecticut
State College, who in Sept., 1969,
asked for official college
recognition of their chapter of
Students for a Democratic
Society.
F. Don James, president of the
school, rejected the' advice of a
student - faculty committee and
denied recognition.
The ACLU is arguing in this
case that college officials may
interfere with the exercise of First
Amendment rights only upon
showing “a clear and present
danger of some substantive evil
occurring,” and that the. burden
of proof is on the administrator.
Voters on campus
Easy winners
In a run-off election held
October 20-21, Sally Garr won
the Sanford Hall Presidency by
beating Annie Howell 174-113.
Aubrey Hilliard’s 36 votes was
enough to defeat Bob Anderson’s
11 and win an SGA spot as
representative from the College of
Economics and Business
Administration.
Minneapolis, (CPS) —
This fall voter registration drives
are getting underway all across the
country. College campuses
contain nearly 5 million, or half,
of the newly enfranchised young
people between 18 and 21 years
of age.
A College Press Service survey
shows that the registration
campaign offers a good chance of
success as campus leaders gird
their loins for the year of voter
registration activity that lies
ahead.
The National Association of
Student Governments, the
Council of Undergraduate Deans,
and the Washington University
Student Union are jointly
sponsoring a meeting November
19-21 which, leaders say, will lay
the groundvvork for a nationwide
voter registration campaign.
About 2,000 student
government leaders from
throughout the nation are
expected to attend.
One of th earliest drives is
taking place in Mankato,
Minnesota, where the non-partisan
Minnesota Youth Citizenship
Fund Inc. is leading a
community-wide effort to register
college, high school and
vocational school students.
According to MYCF
spokesman Larry Spencer, the
group has been registering about
90 to 100 people an hour in the
three day long campaign.
The drive is partly the result of
the recent decisions by the
Mankato and North Mankato City
Councils to permit the registration
of any college student who has
been a resident of Minnesota and
their precinct for at least 30 days.
The students in Nebraska don’t
have it as easy, though. Although
the students may register and vote
at their campus residence,
according to state law they can be
purged from the voting lists if
they have not changed their car
registration to their campus
address too.With theaddition of
Lincoln’s $8 wheel tax the
car-owning voter can expect to
pay $18 or more to exercise his
voting right.
Chauvinism?
A 12-year-old St. Paul, Minn,
girl who has been swimming
competitively since she was 7, has
filed a complaint with the St. Paul
Human Rights Commission
claiming she is barred from junior
high swimming competition
because she is a girl. The
Minnesota State High School
League rules limit inter-scholastic
sports to boys. According to
league official, Kermit Anderson,
“It could be discouraging for boys
to be beaten by girls.’’
Sing Sing no no
During the early stages of the
uprising of prisoners at the
maximum-security New York
prison in Attica, prison officials
ordered black and Puerto Rican
guards from the other maximum
security New York prison,
Sing-Sing, to beef up the nearly
all-white guard staff at Attica.
Tlie guards took a vote, and
then refused to go.
