Student legislature
Money, Chartering Act
top debate floor
by Charles autrey
A number of important questions and a few genuine controversies were
raised when the SGA got together Jan. 24 for their bi-monthly caucus.
Aside from the usual SGA matters, several issues of real student interest
were kicked about on the legislative floor.
"Where Have All the Monies Gone?” seemed to be playing on everyone's
private Jukebox during the first half of the meeting. After the preliminaries
were done. President Stan Patterson presented the floor with a $1500 bili
from the Observer printing company for work completed on the
now-cancelled 1972 Golddigger.
There was some confusion as to whom to blame for this catastrophe, so
the whole matter was referred to the Finance Committee.
There was some static over the possible misappropriation of $61.50 by
the Varsity Cheerleaders, money that was supposed to be used to pay for
state cars and drivers to transport them to Atlanta, but was allegedly not
used for that purpose. The Varsity Cheerleaders rode on the school bus
with the players. The Cheerleader representative said that the money went
to pay for the bus.
It was finally decided to subtract $46.50 (the cost of the cars) from
the Cheerleaders' budget.
The financial report of the Student Union Board was of some interest.
It showed that $26,516.16 had been spent, and that around $30,000 was
left for the rest of the year. But the legislators were upset because the
report was not itemized. An itemized report will have to be submitted

The SGA was told that, out of over $35,000 allocated, there was only
about $5,000 left for the rest of the semester. One bright note, however,
Mr. Patterson informed the body that he had found $2300 of SGA money
in a near-forgotten, bank account. The money had been deposited in 1961.
Legislation passed included the UNCC Chartering Act (the first in UNCC
history) and the Student Union Act, providing for a board of directors
and officers elected by the student body.
The Chartering Act sets down an orderly and permanent procedure for
chartering organizations on the UNCC campus.
One provision of the chartering act would keep the SGA from having to
give lists of members of campus organizations to outside interests, such as
the CIA, FBI, etc. Previously this responsibiiity was subject to the yearly
whims of the Judicial Committee.
The Student Union Act was originally tabled, but was later passed as an
incidental motion in order to speed construction of the Rathskeller.
Proposals discussed but not acted on included transforming and
reorganizing the Publication Board into a Media Board which would
become part of the SGA and would control all student publication and
broadcasting on campus, and a petition for a student lounge in the library.
The most interesting part of the meeting, however, came near the end.
Freshman Class President Tom Duley submitted a motion to have the SGA
investigate the non-renewal of sociology professor Leonard Jordan's
contract. (Duley believes that political motives were involved in Jordan's
dismissal.)
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Boone Wayson proposed that a
standing committee be appointed to investigate all such actions. Wayson's
amendment was accepted, whereupon Duley tried to withdraw his original
motion. He was ruled out of order by Vice President Ed Wayson with a
vicious bang of his gavel.
After much chest-beating on both sides, the motion (with Wayson's
amendment) was passed. The chair of the committee was offered to Duley,
who then refused it. The Vice President then appointed the Ways and
Means Committee to temporarily fill the position.
During a routine physical
examination a doctor discovers that
his patient is predisposed to
coronary heart disease. What form
of exercise does the doctor
prescribe to lessen the likelihood of
a heart attack or to curb the
severity of an attack if it comes?
Such problems will be dealt with
at a symposium Feb. 11 and 12 in
the gymnasium auditorium at
UNCC.
The Symposium, titled
"Prescribing Exercise for the
Maintenance of Cardiovascular
Health," is sponsored by the
Institute for Urban Studies and
Community Service and the
Department of Health and Physical
Education at UNCC. It is partially
funded under Title I of the Higher
Education Act of 1965.
Participating from UNCC will be
Dr. Harvey F. Murphy, chairman of
the Department of Health and
Physical Education at UNCC, and
C. Edward Pemberton, Jr., acquatics
coordinator at UNCC.
In addition to helping doctors fit
exercise prescriptions more precisely
to patients, the symposium is
expected to be useful to physical
therapists and physical education
personnel in schools and colleges.
Dr. Murphy said.
There are still openings for
participants in the program.
Information can be obtained from
the Institue for Urban Studies and
Community Service, extension 307
at UNCC.

To the Editor:
Really now Colvard: couldn't w®
be a little nrrare precise in our rare
communications with the public? I®
your recent letter to Mr. Patterson
concerning the famous legend O'
"Silas and the Birds," you appeal
to have fallen way short of rnv
expectations. Either you have been
duped or your henchmen have
utterly failed in their "fuM
investigation and disclosure of anV
pertinent facts."
I can assure you that I, myseh-
have worked closely with the
managerial staff of SAGA Food
Service, pxjssibly even closer than
Silas. And so, I was naturally taken
aback when I read in your lettet
tfiat "...it was customary for them
so to express their appreciation to
those who work closely vvitn
them." Certainly, I have neve
received such an expression °
appreciation from them!
Wouldn't you agree that, in th
interest of preciseness, your led®
should read: "...it is customary
for
them so to kiss the ass that feet^
them?" ,
Really now, Colvard, we aren
fools.
