Student to strum original
tunes in hoedown heaven
By SUSAN PRUETT
SUff Writer
Nashville. Country music's capital of
fame and fortune. UNC sophomore
George Hamilton V from Matthews says
he's ready to take on the city and a
country music career.
What may prove to be his big break will
come next week when he travels to
Nashville to perform on "Ernest Tubb's
Midnight Jamboree," a radio show for
country music lovers. This could lead the
way to Hamilton's ultimate dream
singing at the Grand 01 Opry.
But he wants to be dif ferent than most
country singers, not falling into what he
calls "the redneck syndrome." He says the
song, "You Divorce Your Wife, I'll
Divorce Mine" is an example of the trend
dominating country music since 1968 that
he would rather avoid.
Though he has been eiocouraged by the
popularity of the recent styles of Kenny
Rogers and Linda Ronstadt, Hamilton's
main inspiration has been his own father,
country singer George H. Hamilton IV,
who recorded his first million seller, "A
Rose and a Baby Ruth," while still an
undergraduate at UNC.
Although he wants to follow, in his
father's footsteps to a degree, George
Hamilton V wants to appeal to the college
age group more than most country
singers.
"I think we deserve the variety," he
says. Hamilton started his career by
performing in local restaurants and
nightclubs.
Second black-white group planned
The University Human Relations
Committee will sponsor a second
discussion group on black-white relations
because of the success of the first group
which met in January and February,
Jennifer Weiss, human relations
committee chairman, said.
The second black-white discussion
group will meet on six consecutive
Tuesdays, starting March 18 and ending
April 22.
Applications for the program are
available at the Carolina Union
information desk and at Union Activities

Hinton James, will work with the
divisions of town affairs, transportation,
university services, athletics, state affairs
and national affairs. - -
1 see my job as a coordinator and
motivator," Huffman said. "If 1 can get
these people (the executive staff)
motivated to do their job, then that will
make Bob's job easier."
Flanagan agreed with Huffman that
her job was to be a coordinator and
motivator. "We're assistants to Bob, but
we will do more than just scheduling
appointments and making phone calls,"
Flanagan said. I think we will help in
laying a lot of the ground work for
student government."
Norberg said he was looking forward
to working with Saunders. There are a
lot of opportunities coming up in the next
year to work with the administration
such as with the Thornton Report, food
service and minority affairs," Norberg
said.
Saunders said applications for
executive cabinet positions and assistant
attorney generals are still available in
Suite C. Applications for these positions
should be returned by 2 p.m. March 1 1.
He jokingly compares his salaries to
golf scores. The lower the pay, he says,
the better he must be.
He also has some wisdom about
performing handed down to him by his
father. "Music is like prostitution it's
like selling yourself," he says.
"A lot of times you have to sell yourself
and your morals," he continues. "I just
want to give the overall effect that I'm
having a good time and not hurting
anybody."
In addition to performing, writing
songs is also an important part of
Hamilton's life. "In my mind it's like a
sure thing," he says. "I've always wanted
to do this. But it's like a ghost visiting
you it (inspiration) doesn't come every
day."
Hamilton writes mainly about love,
cowboys and trains. "Love is a more
universal language than divorce," he says.
He was impressed with cowboys after
meeting cowboy actor and singer Tex
Ritter and now says that "once you meet
one, you just want to sing about em." He
jokes that the cowboys in Nashville are
the ones that sing the cows to sleep.
But Hamilton does more than sing and
write. He plays too, "Monopoly, bingo,
football sometimes; baseball
occasionally," he jokes. He began guitar
lessons when he was about 7 but quit after
his instructor smacked his hands with a
ruler one day for bringing in songs he had
written himself. He now plays piano,
harmonica, viola and trombone.
Hamilton admits his style is perhaps a
bit more country than his father's, but

Kathy Williams, a participant in the
first discussion group, said. The main
goal was for a more personal theme.
Second, was reaching out to others." At
the beginning, the group decided to build
interpresonal relationships and discuss
the problems of getting the blacks and
whites together, Williams said.
Other discussion topics included a joint
project, like a black-white student
movement, interracial dating, relations
between black and white fraternities and

says that the two enjoy performing
together and naturally have shown some
similarities.
George Hamilton IV went on to
perform with Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry
and Bobby Darin. About 1960 he moved
to Nashville and recorded such songs as
"Abilene" and "Truck Drivin' Man."
Since then he has toured world-wide,
recorded several albums and starred in
his own television series in Canada and
England.
Hamilton says that - although his
father's agents have paid him
compliments, they haven't taken him that
seriously or gone out of their way to give
him chances.
But that doesn't bother Geroge
Hamilton V. He wants to do it all on his
own.
The only question now is: What will he
do about his name?
sororities and various problems in race
relations.
"It was one of the greatest experiences
I've ever had," Williams said. "I learned a
great deal about myself. I also came to
realize that everyone has prejudices, and I
learned to empathize with blacks. I have
become more sensitive to black-white
relationships."
Weiss who also is Union president
ekct, said the committee received about
20 applications for the first group and
selected 12 participants.

lamdicapped parking
By MELODEE ALVES
Staff Writer
Effective immediately, the University Traffic Office will tow
cars found illegally parked in spaces designated for the
handicapped. The regulation will be enforced at all times.
"It's sad that it takes that type of action to get compliance from
the drivers," said Laura Drumheller, coordinator for
handicapped students. "But it will be enforced."
This action taken by the Traffic Office is the result of work
done by a group of students led by graduate student Ron
Anderson. Because several parking lots have been lost on campus
due to construction, many students have been forced to seek
parking spaces elsewhere. Most of the handicapped parking
spaces are near the outside of lots, Anderson said, so people see
them more easily and take them.
"Many disabled students have complained tha,t they have to
miss classes or can't go to the library because there are no close
parking spaces," he said.
"Most people don't realize how much more energy it takes a
disabled person to get to class when they have to park far away."
Drumheller said she did not believe people parked in
handicapped spaces were being nasty, but parked there because
the parking is a campus-wide problem.
Last October, Anderson enlisted the help of Lee Meyer's
physical education class to take surveys of parking violations in
handicapped spaces.
"Within an eight day period, they found 87 uncited violations
all over campus," he said.
Fall orientation commission chosen
By KERRY DEROCHI
Staff Writer
Robert Johnson, newly chosen student
orientation coordinator, has begun
planning for the 1980 fall orientation
week.
Johnson and members of the Office of
Student Affairs chose the 1980
orientation commission last week.
The eight members picked are: Sue
Olsen, freshman project coordinator;
Diana Baxter, director of Tar Heel Days;
Randy Davis, major projects
coordinator; Linda Kelly, program
coordinator for junior transfers; Danita
Morgan, information packet
coordinator, and Ruthie Leaver,
calendar coordinator.
"Because choosing the commission
took longer that we thought it would, we
are a little behind schedule," Johnson
said. "But we're all optimistic; we have an

Yach settles out of court
for $200; no more delay
By STEPHANIE BIRCHER
SUff Writer
The 1979 issues of the Yackety Yack,
UNCs yearbook, are expected to arrive
Tuesday, March 11, and will be
distributed immediately, Yack editor
Chrisann Ohler said Monday.
Ohler plans to use $200 obtained
Monday in an out-of-court settlement
with Hunter Publishing Company to
have the color separations for the dust
cover done by another company.
The Yack was offered the $200 to settle
a dispute over the quality of the book.
Ohkr claimed that Hunter violated its
contract by missing an October delivery
deadline, printing and binding the book
without the Yack staffs approval and
providing an unsatisfactory dust cover.
The settlement prevented court action
and further distribution delay.
"I'll take it to Knoxville, probably,
because it is the closest company with the
proper screening equipment," Ohler said.
"1 will deliver it myself and get it done
while I wait, then I will drive it to
Winston-Salem. Knoxville could screen
exceptional commission with fresh ideas
and we are going to get it done, though it
is going to take a lot of hard work."
Before any programs are organized,
the commission will study a survey that
was given to freshmen to find out what
they thought of their orientation
program, Johnson said. The Office of
Student Affairs, which distributed the
survey, recently formulated its results.
"The overall view is that they really
liked it," said Roslyn Hartmann, student
affairs orientation coordinator.
Although there are eight days between
the time the freshmen arrive and classes
start, the orientation commission is not
sure whether or not it will use the entire
time. "We're going to pace ourselves;
we're not sure how much programming
we're going to do," Johnson said.
"Personally, I like an eight day
orientation. I thought it was necessary
last year to spread out the fun things with

it right away because they are aware of
our problem."
Ohler said the final printing would
have to be done over Spring Break by
Hunter Publishing Company so that the
books could be distributed the following
week.
"The only problem is whether
Knoxville will do the screening for $200,
but I'm pretty confident they will," Ohler
said.
The Yack was given another option by
Hunter Publishing Company officials,
but decided to settle for the $200 alter
consulting photographers from The
Chapel Hill Newspaper about the color
separations.
"The other option was pretty absurd,"
Ohler said. Hunter offered the Yack
$1250 to have the book printed by
another company, but the lowest estimate
a company gave her was $2200, she said.
The Yack was supposed to have been
delivered last October, Ohler said, but
was delayed because the sample books
did not meet the quality standards agreed
upon before the actual printing.
enforced
Along with written complaints from several handicapped
students, Anderson took these surveys to Vice Chancellor
Douglass Hunt. Hunt's office, along with Drumheller, worked
with the Traffic Office to combat the problem.
"The administration wants to take a pro-active position rather
than an reactive one to help the disabled students," Drumheller
said.
The regulation for handicapped parking has been in existence,
but stronger enforcement is being taken, said Richard Sharpe,
traffic monitor coordinator.
As of now, the handicapped spaces are marked by a sign that
reads "reserved for the handicapped" and has a wheelchair
symbol. A sticker stating that 24-hour towing is in effect is being
added to the signs, Sharpe said.
"My main concern is not to tow more and more cars. I just
want to get the word out and keep the spaces clear," he said. "But
we certainly will tow if need be."
Hunt's office has sent out a memo to all deans, directors and
department heads to help spread the word.
The traffic monitors will be watching the lots carefully, Sharpe
said, especially those which according to the survey had the most
violations.
If a car is towed between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., the towing charge
will be $17.50 and $27.50 for special instances. The charge is
$22.50 and $32.50 between 6 p.m. and midnight. Between 12-7
a.m., the charge is $27.50 and $37.50. Sharpe said the Traffic
Office does make an effort to contact a person before his car is
towed.
the things that had to be done."
Some people have said the eight-day
period is too long. Members of the
Residence Hall Association believed the
period was exhausting for resident
assistants and orientation counselors.
Some said freshmen lost interest in the
activities after the first few days.
Orientation programs prior to last
year's have lasted five days.
Johnson said the group hoped to have
the area coordinators chosen the week
after Spring Break. It is meeting with
RHA Thursday to formulate criteria to
be used in the selection process. After
selecting these coordinators, Johnson
said he hoped to begin training the
personnel as well as planning specific
projects.
Since the group has not started
interviewing the applicants, it is still
accepting applications for both area
coordinators and ortentationcounselors.
