Page seven/Carolina Journal/April 12, 1979 New yearbook drops name temporarily; comes out in spring for first time By Luann Whitley The 1979 edition of the Rogues 'n Rascals is properly titled “The University of North Ca rolina at Charlotte.” This year is one of the first years in the history of UNCC the yearbook has come out in the spr RbAB Iiw By Bill Whittaker 10 years ago this week: Swami Rangenathananda of the Ramakrishna and former president of the Ramakrishna math and mis sion at Karachi was announced as appearing on campus. I wonder if he's any relation to Roseanna Roseanna Danna? Nine years ago this week: An article in the Carolina Journal explained to irate readers the reasons for draining Swan Lake (it was to lay foundations for Rowe Arts Building). Plans for the lake included increasing its size by 30 or 40 feet, constructing a fountain and the trees on the south side removed. This would provide for an unobstructed view of the campus from Highway 49. Swan Lake is now Hechenbleikner Lake. Eight years ago this week: The Chambers Brothers, Chairman of the Board and the Goose Creek Symphony were announced as headlining the 1971 Jam-Up festivities. The two-night affair cost $6 per student and date. Seven years ago this week: Plans were completed for a student-owned and operated Rathskeller. The Student Legislature failed Io make a financial commitment to the club. Sugges tions as to furnishings or names were welcome. Ob viously, the Rathskeller Committee failed to make the decision on a name. At least the Rathskeller's not called “The Green Garter” as its predecessor was. Six years ago this week: Five months after being trounced by Richard M. Nixon. Sen. George McGovern spoke at UNCC. The Carolina Journal carried two photos, but no text...! guess nobody likes a loser. A large pizza at Pizza Inn cost only $3.05 . . . and Ihat was with pepperoni. Today, they're from $5-6.50. And finally: It was the second day of classes of fall semester 1977. The temperature was in the high 80s, and the students in line al the Bookstore were sweltering. 1 decided to sit on the pedestal of the Belk Tower (the line almost reached ther anyway). Then I noticed her, a beautiful blond with a great smile. 1 sauntered up to her and started conversing in my most charm ing manner. Well, it turned out she had a boyfriend waiting near the end of the line to buy their books. She had been waiting for 15 minutes already. After a half hour her young man had entered the door of the book emporium. After another half hour to 45 minutes, he came staggering back to the Belk Tower with an armload of books. He looked askance at me. but the girl smiled and explained we were old friends. The guy mopped his forehead with a red and blue bandana he pulled from his jeans and announced. "Well, those are your books, let me get in line lo get mine." And that is the most ridiculoul stunt I've seen in four years at UNCC ... except perhaps for this year's election ... apologies to T.C. ing before the end of the school year. Jeri Ingram, editor, said, “We are very pleas ed with the yearbook and have had some very good comments about it." The style of the book is very simple and throughout the pages there is a lot of white space. In an era where “economize” is a key word, it looks as though the yearbook staff wasted a lot of paper in the book by not using the space. “It is important when working with layout to know how to use white space effectively,” In gram said. “The pages with the most white space are division pages for the departments. We could have used up the space with bad pictures but to me, that would be wasting money,” In gram said. The yearbook is con sistently adorned with quotes from Neil Young, Bob Dylan and the Rol ling Stones. These quotes help to give the book continuity and a flow of similar thoughts. “We feel the simplici ty of the yearbook is more classy and beauti ful than if it were elabo rate," Ingram said. Only about 1,000 stu dent pictures are inclu ded in the academics sec tion. Approximately 8,500 students are enrol led at UNCC. The lack of participation by the stu dents with the yearbook is evidence of the apathy on campus. “The number of stu dent pictures in this book is up to par with all of the past editions," In gram said. Joe Griffin, 1979-80 Rogues 'n Rascals edi- (Photo by Debbie Miller) Rogues ’n Rascals Editor Jeri Ingram displays 1978-71) yearbook tor, said, “Next year, we are going to have a com pany make student indi vidual pictures that will really advertise the por traits and hopefully, get more students involv ed." A really good point about the yearbook is it is not geared toward any one club or organization. In the theme section, the photographs and snap shots are of a variety of UNCC students. Ingram and Griffin said, “Hopefully stu dents will be interested enough to voice their cri ticisms about the year book and want to come down and get involved in the production." The 1979 edition of Rogues 'n Rascals is dedicated to former chancellor D.W. Col- vard. Because of the low budget, the staff had to decide to charge each student an extra $5 for a copy of the book. Overall, the extra charge is worth it. The 1979 Rogues 'n Rascals shows the simplicity of life in a complicated era. by GILBERT SHELTON
