Young drafted in homecoming contest ^ begins
By Marti Cooksey
Brown-haired, brown
eyed Bill Young threw his
hat into the 1974 UNC-A
Homecoming Queen ring
Wednesday morning, just
meeting the noon deadline
and touching off a storm
of controversy about his
eligibility.
The svelt 21-year-old
eased his 196-lb. frame
into a chair the next day
and talked with a Free
Press reporter about his
chances in the contest.
Does he expect to win
out ih the eight-woman
field? "I would not be
surprised,” Young said,
"if you take into consid-
SGA name
changed
The Student Government
Association is changinq
its name, but unlike
Exxon, it is improving
its services. The change
from "Student Government
Association*' to "Student
Government" was recently
passed by the Student
Senate, but must be rati
fied by the student body
in the upcoming Jan. 30
special election.
While the name change
may be minor, it is hoped
it will help those in
Student Government and,
in turn, the student
body. Too long has the
SGA been thought of as a
type of club, which is
what "association" con
notates. The SGA is a
government (Federal Gov
ernment Association?) and
therefore should conduct
itself in that manner.
Due to the name
change and a variety of
other reasons, SGA is in
somewhat of a transition
al period. Along with
providing social events,
SGA is involved in other
aspects of student life,
striving to ensure the
betterment of those
things of concern to stu
dents. Among these are
improvements of the food
service and faculty eval
uations while working on
new projects such as the
commuter student lounge,
establishing a computer
ized car pool service,
and investigating the
possibilities of a pass/
fail option on some
courses.
So despite the possible
triviality of the name
change, it will help to
make Student Government
what is should be, a qov-
ernment of and for the
students.
eration who has won in
the past. If I do win,
I'll throw some kind of
party. I'm not adverse
to buying a vote,"
The student body voted
Becky Waechter as the
1974 Homecoming Queen
Friday, but her win was
not announced until the
Saturday night Homecoming
Dance, Pam Adams was
first runner-up, with
Young finishing two votes
behind her, according to
Student Government Pres
ident, Ken Wright.
"I guess it's just
beauty," he declared,
musing on why fellow stu
dent Richard Clark put
his name in nomination
for the coveted award.
"I like flowers, too.
Maybe that had something
to do with it."
Young was quick to
point out one difference
in his candidacy. "I
won't be a queen. I'm a
princess - my mother and
father are still alive."
The 5'11" political
science major was asked
about his measurements,
especially his chest
size. "I would not wager
a guess. 1 don't use
silicone, unless they put
it in something I drink,"
he said.
Young has adopted the
"natural" look. He does
not wear make-up, eats
organic food, stays away
from hair sprays and has
been braless "since
birth." He admitted that
he wears a jock strap "at
appropriate times."
The Washington, D.C.
native was entered earli
er this year in the Ms.
UNC-A contest, but his
name was forced off the
ballot. Next year, as a
result of his candidacy,
it will be a M. UNC-A
crown and students of all
sexes can compete.
"I was drafted in that
election, too. I always
am," Young said. Young
contemplated having Mrs,
Alice Wutschel, associate
dean of students, as his
escort at the gala Grove

The Federal Communica
tions Commission (FCC)
has advised WUNF radio
that its application to
begin FM broadcasts as an
educational radio station
has been approved. Bill
Young, station manager,
announced.
Construction of a n?w
FM antenna on the top of
Lipinsky Student Center
will begin within 30
days. Young said, and FM
broadcasts throughout a
30-mile radius can begin
by April 15. Equipment
tests will begin within
60 days.
WUNF currently broad

area radios hooked up tc

radio is heard at 88,1 on
the FM dial, and that
will be the frequency

current AM broadcasts to
the campus will continue.
Asheville televi.sion
station WLOS and WLOS-FM
earlier donated a 28-
year-old RCA FM trans
mitter to the university
for WUNF, Young said.
Station engineers are now
working to "tune" the
transmitter for the new
programming.
As an educational radio
station, WUNF-FM will be
unable to sell advertis

instead to all kinds of
eaucationai programming.
gonna wear my Super CFL
t-shirt (to the dance)
and in honor of the ath
letic program, I'll wear
my gym shorts."
"The real reason I'm
doing this i? that I'd
like to have a parking
place close to the gym
that I helped pay for and
hopefully I'll get to ap
pear at, next year's Opti
mist Tip-off Tournament
for free. And I'll have
to crown next year's
queen and get in that
game free, too," the can
did senior observed.
Bill was anxious about
one potential problem,
whether he would be given
an orchid or a bouton-
nier. "I just hope the
flower doesn't clash with
my t-shirt."
Asked if his candidacy
would make a mockery of
the Homecominq Queen con
test, Young said "Yeah,
I suppose it does."
