Who Will It Be?
Carter, Reagan Or

With the elections fast ap
proaching, you will soon have to
make your choice for President.
This class on the election issues
should help you make that
choice.
The first session to be held on
Thursday, October 9th (note the
change in date) will be “The
Economic Crisis and You.”
Professor Ronald Madsen of
UNCC’s Department of
Economics will speak on the
“Economic Shell Game” - what
we’ve done in terms of Federal
budgeting in the last 15 years.
He will focus his talk on infla
tion - the historical causes and
the continuing problems we can
expect through the 1980’s.
Professor Madsen will expound
on the economic policy of each of
the candidates. At the end of his
talk he will answer questions.
The second session to be held
on Thursday, October 16th will
be “U.S. Power - What Is Its
Future?” Dr. Harry Cher-
notsky of UNCC’s Department
of Political Science will speak
about the evolving relationship
between the U.S. and the USSR,
the United States responses to
major international crises and
our changing relationships with
our allies. After his talk he will
answer the audience’s
questions.
The third session will be held
on Thursday, October 30th. This
session will be a symposium on
the election issues moderated by
Harold Josephson. Represen
tatives of the three candidates
will each give a short talk on the
basic issues as they see them
representing their candidates.
Questions will then be taken

The election of our next Presi

reading. This was followed by a
workshop, “Mishpochah or The
Jewish Family.” There was ex
tremely positive feedback to the
stimulating Hadassah
material. Communing with
nature, sight-seeing and en
joying the scenery rounded out
the day,
Havdalah under the stars will
never be forgotten. After re
freshments with the Blumen-
thal family the mood was set for
Marvin’s lively guitar playing,
Jewish songs and spontaneous
dancing.
Sunday featured a morning
workshop led by Susan Cemyak
on “The Myth of (German Jews.”
The results of this interaction
were so enthusiastic that a con
certed effort will be made to es
tablish a chair of Holocaust
Studies at UNCC.
In the afternoon an added at
traction was Sid (joozner’s dis
cussion on the Book of
Deuteronomy — “The Concern
with Justice.” This was a
stimulating and thought
provoking encounter.
The evening’s entertainment
featured the premiere of “The
Story of Wildacres,” a slide
presentation depicting the
history and development of the
area. T.D. Bums, a Charlottean,
produced this fascinating true
story. A musical program with
Marvin and company climaxed
the night’s festivities.
