Student input To the editor: Last year a substantial number of students got very upset when Dr. Jordan's contract was not renewed. Petitions were signed, a legal defense fund established, and hearings were held - all because one teacher was not retained. The primary question then and now is: Why do students not have some systematic method of input to the decision makers as to the quality (good and bad) of faculty and staff? As chairman of last year's Student Legislature sub-committee to investigate the Jordan case, I had a lengthy discussion with Dr. McEniry, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. At that discussion I presented the view that students should have a systematic method of evaluating faculty and staff. Dr. McEniry completely agreed! At that point the lines of communication were open for constructive change to be implemented. I will confess that I (we, the sub committee, and the Student Legislature) dropped the ball. Now, as a graduate, my concern is still that there is no method of evaluation by students. Correction In a recent article, the Journal reported that the SBG Finance Committee feels that no SBG funds should be used for entertainment. The statement was incorrect. The opinion was that of Finance Committee chairman Boone Wayson, and Is not shared by all committee members. The Journal apologizes for the error. classifieils Journal Classifieds are FREE to all members of the University community, regardless of status - or lack of it.

Chances are that circumstances simiiar to Dr. Jordan's will erupt again. And even if they don't, students still- have no systematic input to the decision makers. I would suggest that the University Senate, Student Legislature and any other forum or individuals, who believe students should have input into the evaluation of faculty and staff, exercise the initiative and fortitude to establish such a program. My premise is not that students have the power to hire and fire, but merely that they have an input to the ears of the decision makers. Charles W. Spriggs Administrative Assistant to the Dean of Students Media board by jimmy pappas Little activity transpired during the September 27 meeting of the Media Board held in the SGA Conference room. Members of the board present were Tom Alsop, Ernie Wilson, Steve Sox, Boone Wayson, and the faculty advisor to the board, Karl Bromm. Also present was Ralph Cook, who voted on a proxy for Michael Dobson. Due to the absence of Jay Eaker, Mr. Alsop presided over the meeting. The first subject for business was a report by Mr. Wayson on bonding. The matter was tabled for further investigation. The next item discussed was a motion by Tom Alsop that he motion was opposed by several members of the Board on the grounds that the position had not been offically established yet. After a brief discussion, the Board decided to let Cook take over the job, provided the editors of the Journal and Sanskrit showed no opposition. Also discussed was the salary for the job. It was agreed that the coordinator would receive $400.00 per year and would be a non-voting member of the board. With no further business to be discussed, the meeting adjourned at 6:40, only 25 minutes after its 6:15 late start. receive his December salary with his October check.: A vote followed and the motion was defeated 3-2. Establishment of a position on the board as photographic coordinator was the next matter of business brought up by the Board. The establishment of this position, as outlined by Ralph Cook, would mean that one person would have control over the activities of the darkroom. After further explanation as to the duties of the new position, Tom Alsop made a motion that Ralph Cook be appointed as Photographic Coordinator. The KUS’S Wide variety of delicious foods PIZZA Choice selection of beverages _by pat miller Imagine, if you will, hundreds or maybe thousands of slim spoked wheels progressing en masse through downtown Charlotte. Listen for the steady clicking of lightweight tenspeeds, the raucous clanking of ancient middleweights. Visualize hordes of fanatical cyclists dominating some of Charlotte's main automobile routes. Hopefully, this fantastic scene will come to life at two p.m. on Saturday, October 21, the date of the WBTV-S.LR,E.N. Bike-In 72. You probably know what WBTV is, and S.I.R.E.N., believe it or not, stands for Students Involved in Rehabilitating the Environment Now. Regardless of that, it is true that these two organizations are jointly sponsoring a "bike-in," i.e., a passionate manifestation of local cycling interest. The goals of the Bike-In embrace the entire universe of cycling concerns. But the general thrust is toward public awareness - helping people realize that bicycling is a very sane form of transportation, that it is as legal and courtesy-deserving as automobiling, that it is a healthy and rion-polluting activity. The route of the Bike-1 n is designed to make the city fathers, mothers, and uncles think about including bike routes in plans for Charlotte's future. Specifically, the events on Saturday, October 21 will be something life this: At two p.m., all the many cyclists will converge on the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Education Center at 701 East Second Street. From there they will proceed to Freedom Park along a marked route, a 2 1/2 mile trip designed to last about an hour. Ordinarily that distance could be covered in fifteen minutes, but there will be several stops along the way at points of interest. It just happens that the route roughly parallels that of Sugaw Creek, one of Charlotte's best-polluted streams due for beautification and development in the future. Points of interest will be points of planned development. At Freedom Park all kinds of things will happen. There is a general family-picnic-festivities-type celebration planned, with rodeo, bike registration, and perhaps even tricycle races. All of this will last til about seven p.m., when a very symbolic flag-(not U.S.)-raising v/ill occur. The rain date, since caliper brakes quit in the rain. Is October 28, 2 p.m. It should be pretty obvious that all UNCC students are invited to bike in to the WBTV-S.I.R.E.N. Bike-In. They are also invited to help in making it happen. SIREN, the group with the awkward name, is fortunate enough to have a couple of UNCC representatives within its membership. To these reps has come the responsibility of setting up the actual Bike-In route, making ways and erecting signs. These people are in desperate need of help from other UNCC people who have an interest and a little time. Are any out there? If so, please contact Pat Miller or Rod Kerr; or sign any of the soon-to-be-numerous carnpus posters; or leave name and means of contact at the Journal office. All help will be sorely appreciated. That's the present story of the Bike-In 72. If anything changes, the Journal will tell, or WBTV, or any of many media. Perhaps it will be a remarkable event - a first step in decomplicating America's transportation problems. Better pedals than pistons! ELECT PETER A.
