This year’s program, which has been altered somewhat from those in the past, will be one of many GYC events planned as a part of this year’s Youth Week April 20-27. Those wishing to participate may begin by either of two methods. Most of the participants will be chosen from homerooms in each of the city schools. Each homeroom will select one candidate who will attrnd at least the first two ses sion of the program and will be required to return to his home room and tell them something of what he learned about city gov ernment. Each student council will also be alowed to nominate 10 additional candidates for the pro gram. This procedure is very dif ferent from the system used last year, and it is expected that ap proximately 150 students will initially take part. The change was made by project co-ordinator Dewitt McCarley in order to bring about maximum participation. The first meetings for all candi dates for the Junior City Council will be held in the City Council Chamber on March 25 and 26. These two meetings will be mainly instructional and will feature speakers from the various city government departments. Follow ing these two sessions, on March 27 a preliminary quiz on city gov ernment will be given to all can didates. From the results of this test fifty remaining candidates will be chosen. This test score will also decide which ciiy positions the candidate will be eligible to run for, those with highest scores be ing allowed first choice. Fourteen students will be allowed to run for City Council (including Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore) and three each will run for positions as heads of the various other city departments and positions, (city manager, city attorney, finance director, parks directors, planning director, police chief, fire chief, Public Works director. Traffic En gineer, Coliseum director, and City Clerk. Each of the groups of can didates will meet with someone from this, particuar department who will instruct them in the duties that they must perform. They will then be given a position to determine who will fill this various Junior City Council posi tions. The Council itself will meet twice. A smaller meeting of the whole will be held on Thursday, April 17 and the actual meeting will come on Tuesday, April 22. In addition to the prestige of be ing head of the Junior City Coun cil, an extra dividend has been thrown in for the mayor of the mock city government. He wiU be given a free car to travel in as he drives about the city presiding over the various events of Youth Week. Lance Africk and “Friend" Lance Africk And Friends The Greensboro Youth Council is sponsoring a show which is designed to bring out talent in the local high schools. The show, Lance Africk and Friends, could be considered as a group of prom ising people and an inside look at MAY DAY PLANS SET This year’s annual May Day celebration will be held on May 1st at 5:00 p.m. on the front lawn of Grimsley.

The show which is solely spon sored by the GYC is not only used for bringing out talent but alos to get the word in about other GYC projects. It makes its commercials blend in with the show so that it seems that you are viewing no commercials at all. The northern voice of Lance Africk is what one is immediate ly graced with- Lance acts as a host who does the jobs of mod erator, commentator and inter viewer all lolled into one. He and other GYC people put in a good deal of time each week put ting together the show, When i asked if he wanted to make this work a career, Lance remarked, “Maybe, but at this point it is too early to tell.” A show usually consists of one or two interviews, one or two demonstrations and short skits in between. A recent show began with a group of singers from Smith High School called the Muettes. Afterwards, Lance talk ed to one member of the group about its plans, history and the people in the group. This was followed by Bill Buckley giving a flash on facts in Lance’s life. Next, Lance talked to Cathy Mid dleton about the production the Presbyterian Players were going to present- A scene from “A Man For All Seasons” was given. A karate exhibition was then presented by the Karate Insti tute. They showed that it was not only a defence, but also a sport. Bill Buckley mentioned his last words about Lance. Lance has only one worry. What will the censors cut from next week’s show. A special board of censors has been set up by the Greensboro Youth Council to watch over the production. So for Sundays, it is Lance Africks and Friends (and Censors). 0 Chamber Honored By Band And Choir Performance ■w Tuesday March 4, the G.H.S. band and choir presented the as sembly.
