Senators Chosen
By CHRIS MANGUM
S.G. Correspondent
The students went to the polls on
Wednesday, Nov. 10, and voted for one
Freshman, one Sophomore, and one Dorm
senator; also on the ballot was an S.G.
survey concerning the Campus Commis
sion on Student Services Funds.
Steve Eller was elected by a good
majority for Freshman senator, with 45
votes; the nearest competitor had 15. In the
Sophomore race, it was close with the
dorm students giving it to Chris Mathis 22-
18 over Vickie Tucker. In the Dorm elec
tion, Amy Spanel came away the winner
with 58 votes; the nearest opponent was
Bill Adams with 41.
As for the S.G. survey, the question
was, “Which agency would you rather see
allocating student activity funds?” The
Student Government won that with 108 for
S.G. and 54 for the Commission.
All in all, the turnout was good in the
dorms with 143 dorm students voting out
of a possible 190-200. The story was dif
ferent with the commuters, though, with
only 45 commuters voting.
Once again the Senate has a full house.
FACULTY HEARS
PROPOSALS
A Symposium on Collective Bargaining
was scheduled at the University of North
Carolina at Asheville Friday, Nov. 12 in
the Carmichael Humanities Lecture Hall.
Sponsored by the Faculty Senate at
UNC-A, the program was open to both the
university community and the general
public and featured three panelists repre
senting different points of view.
The panelists included Dr. Alvin
Hooks, professor in the Department of
Administration and Supervision in Higher
'Brown Case'
A decision concerning the judication of
the Brown case was reached in the Student
Senate meeting of November 11. The
decision was to allow the case to go to the
Judicial Board, which according to the
Constitution has original jurisdiction,
instead of establishing a special hearing
panel composed of members of the Senate
and the Judicial Board.
A bill allocating $200 to the Campus
Women’s Alliance was tabled due to the
disorder of the S.G. account books. A bill
allocating a total of $500, disbursed to six
organizations, was passed. The amount of
$500 had been approved earlier, in the
original budget.
A proposal for a Constitutional amend
ment creating an extensive judicial system
was tabled.
In the meeting of Nov. 4, Dean of Stu
dents Paul T. Deason spoke to the Senate,
explaining the proposed Campus Commis
sion on Student Services Funds. After the
meeting a resolution was passed unani
mously requesting President Kindley to
call a special meeting of the student body
to discuss the matter.
The bill concerning the establishment of
an Interdorm Council was voted down due
to confusion as to the powers of the
proposed Campus Commission and the
role of the Student Senate in dorm matters.
An allocation of $200 was granted to the
Cheerleaders, much less than their request
of $1,600 because of the disorder of the
S.G. account and the fact that the actual
balance of the account is unknown.
Education at Appalachian State Univer
sity; Dr. Rachel Baumer, retired from the
faculty at the University of Hawaii, and
Dr. William Murphy, a member of the
faculty of the UNC-Chapel Hill Law
School.
Dr. Hooks pointed out advantages he
felt could be derived from a campus col
lective bargaining agreement. Dr. Baumer
cited disadvantages and possible hazards
that might result from such a collective
bargaining agreement. Dr. Murphy pro
vided an objective estimate of the prob
ability, or likelihood, that a particular ad
vantage will occur.
Friday’s symposium was an outgrowth
of a discussion last spring by the faculty on
the possibility of holding a straw vote on
the question of collective bargaining.
The senate later asked the Institutional
Development Committee to provide some
sort of informational program on the issue
before such a vote might be held.
Preceding Friday’s open-to-the-public
meeting, the three panelists spoke at a din
ner meeting of the faculty and their wives
Thursday at 7 P.M. in the Grace
Restaurant.
Movies To Be
Resumed
By RANDY LUQUIRE
As many students know, the last regu
larly scheduled movie shown was Break
out on October 13. On October 20, Cooley
High was shown also, but it was not a
scheduled film. Since that time, for one
reason or another. Walking Tall, Jeremiah
Johnson and Mark of the Devil have been
cancelled. This article will disclose all that
has surfaced since the last article on the
same subject appeared. (Nov. 4 Ridge-
runner, pg. 7).
The SG movies are handled through
Swank, a movie distribution company that
specializes in college film programs. A
phone conversation on Monday, Nov. 7
with Randy Brooks, representative for the
New York office, revealed that Cooley
High had not been returned to the company
on time and that Walking Tall as well as
Jeremiah Johnson had been sent to UNC-
A in time for the scheduled show date.
Despite the fact that the movies were not
shown, the bill for them would have to be
paid, as Swank had lived up to their obli
gation of getting them, to us on time.
Showing them was our responsibility.
Mr. Brooks also stated that the cntract
had been cancelled by Raye Brown start
ing with Mark of the Devil. Mr. Brown, ex
Finance Commissioner, had signed the
contract in August. When asked if the con
tract could have been put in another name,
Mr. Brooks responded by saying, “No”
another would have to be drawn up.
Mr. Brooks said the reasons Mr. Brown
gave for the nullification were numerous,
but the important one was that Mr. Brown
could not be responsible for the films or
guarantee payment, so he wanted his name
removed from the contract. When asked
about this, Raye Brown replied: “I was the
one responsible for them. (Films) If I will
not be responsible for them if I’m not in
charge. No way. I couldn’t be responsible
for his (Swank’s) films.”

FISHER
SELECTED
EDITOR
By FORREST REID
On Wednesday, November 3, the newly
formed UNC-A Publications Board con
vened to select the Editor for the 1976-77
volume of the Summit. After interviewing
three applicants for the position, (Raye
Browne, Tony Fisher, and Jean Hutchin
son), the Board selected Tony Fisher for
the position.
Fisher, is 21, and a native of Brevard,
N.C. His parents currently reside in Ros-
man, N.C. He graduated in 1973 from
Kendrick High School, in Columbus,
Georgia and enrolled at UNC-A for the
1974 fall semester.
He is a Literature major and is due to
graduate in May of 1977.
Fisher was a staff member for Images
during the 1975-76 academic year, and is
currently Student Assistant to the UNC-A
Public Information Office.
Coming into office at so late a date pre
sents Fisher with a difficult job, but as he
and other Summit staf" ^ -'va been
planning the general tone and content prior
to his selection of this year’s Summit, it is
one he feels can be performed.
Fisher intends the 1976-77 Summit “to
present a broad spectrum of campus life in
relation to the community and the Western
North Carolina area. ’ ’ Since he has been at
UNC-A for three years, he feels that he
knows the campus well and can accurately
represent all of its moods and aspects
accurately.
“I also told Kindley verbally that I had
called Swank and informed them of what
was going on here.”
President Kindley replied: “I would re
member any statement from Mr. Brown. I
do not remember that one.”
When asked if he had informed Pres.
Kindley that he had cancelled the films,
Mr. Brown responded that he had not.
Another telephone conversation with
Frank Krissi, the Swank representative in
Washington, D.C. who is handling our
account, yielded a bit more information.
Mr. Krissi’s records show that Mr. Brown
had cancelled the schedule starting with
Jeremiah Johnson, not Mark of the Devil,
(scheduled for Nov. 3 and Nov. 10, re
spectively). Furthermore, he believed that
Walking Tall had been sent back to Swank,
although he was not positive.
To summarize, it still appears that
Walking tall was sent back instead of
Cooley High. (This would be an easy mis
take to make, as the film cannisters are not
marked on the outside.) No records show
that Jeremiah Johnson arrived, so the
schedule was probably cancelled before
that time. (None of the sources could tell
me the exact date of the cancellation, but
only that it had occurred.)
The contract was renewed by President
Kindley and resumes on Nov. 17 with The
Reincarnation of Peter Proud to continue
for the rest of the semester as originally
scheduled.
