Annual Staff

For August

Journal Feature Editor
Yearbook editor Judy Hardison
is being “hush-hush” concerning
the theme and color design o{
UNC-C’s first annual.
“It’s more or less a tradition
not to disclose the theme of the
book or its cover design until the
annuals are distributed on cam
pus,” said Miss Hardison last
week.
Since June of last year, Judy
and her staff have been busy
planning, thumbing through an
nuals from other schools for
picture ideas, and dreaming up
ways to make the ‘66 yearbook
even better than the preceding
ones.
During the summer, Judy spent
four days at a special workshop
in Cambridge, Md. looking for
ideas and planning layouts for
this year’s annual.
Three staff members Paris
Hastings, yearbook, protographer,
Ann Hood, business manager,
and Marilyn Bowers, Campus
Life Editor, also attended the
session which was sponsored by
the American Yearbook Compa
ny.
One idea which the editor is
especially enthusiastic about is
the new diminsion layout the
annual will have.
“It is altogether different from
anything we have seen and has
never been used before,” ex
plained Judy.
In addition to a new look, the
annual will have a new name.
Just how the staff will choose a
replacement for the old “Si Si”,
no one knows as yet.
“We’ll probably ask the student
body for suggestions and have a
campus vote or hold some kind of
contest. If we don’t get any
suggestions, it will be left to the
Journal Goes Weekly
Through These Portals Pass
N. Carolina’s Finest Youth’
By RICK DANCY
Journal Nows Editor
Probably the most discussed
topic on campus is the Viet Nam
war, and more specifically “how
can I keep from spending a
government paid vacation in Viet
Nam”? The following is the
result of interviews with Selec
tive Service and Armed Forces
Exam station personnel as well as
a booklet published by Berkley
students on how to “dodge the
draft.”
Mrs. Skidmore, head of the
local Selective Service board
opened the interview with revela
tions which will be both hearten
ing and depressing to local
students.
First, there is no decrease in
sight of the size of the quotas set
for local North Carolina boards.
But on the other hand, there are
no immediate plans to induct full
time students.
“Any full time student lead
ing to a degree and if he is
eli^ble to stay in school (will
be classified) 2-s on a year to
year basis.” The phrase “full
time student” is left to the
discretion and standards of the
individual college. (Here it is
12 semester hours).
Examiner Cecil Doyle of the
U.S. Armed Forces Exam Station
echoed the no. induction of
college students view and said he
hasn’t drafted a full time student
yet.
Recently there has been a
great deal of talk concerning a
wholesale lowering of induction
standards, but Doyle said that a
“man has to be physically fit. No
man is called who would be
ineligible in peace time.” Mrs.
Skidmore stated that only the
mental standards have been re
laxed and these only to the extent
that “high school graduates who
failed previously are being recon
sidered.”
Examiner Doyle related that
his station handles some 1000 to
1300 men each month with be
tween 50 and 65 per cent of those
examed being found acceptable
for military service. Doyle, how
ever, stressed that the final
decision concerning who goes and
who doesn’t is made by the draft
board.
Newspaper Will Be Weekly’
Starting Spring Semester
This picture taken last spring shews the Kennedy Building
arches in the background. More building pictures are on
pages 4 and 5.
The youngest man to pass
under Doyle’s entrance sign —
“thraagh these portals pass N.
Carolina’s finest youth” —and
leave for his basic training at
Ft. Jackson was slightly over
19. Most are in their early
twenties.
Despite the publicity being
given to the anti-war demonstra
tors, Mrs. Skidmore has had no
protestors demonstrate in or
around her office nor has there
been any increase in the number
of conscientious objectors.
Liberal Arts majors can rest a
tittle easier with the knowledge
that as of yet there is no
breakdown within the student
deferment classification as to
technical and liberal arts. This
was done during both the 2nd
World War and .the Korean
conflict with those shooting for
BA’s going ahead of their techni
cal counterparts.
Now that you know where you
stand with your board here are
some suggestions from the Berk
ley crowd in case you are still
sweating the draft.

’The Carolina Journal, at pre
sent a bi-weekly newspaper pub
lished by the students of the
University of North Carolina at
Charlotte, has announced plans
that it will begin publishing on a
weekly basis starting spring se
mester.
The changeover will be made
possible by an increase in staff
members and advertising.
“We would have gone weekly
a lot sooner,” said editor
Howard Pearre, “but we were
lacking in both the advertising
department and in qualified
staff members. Now I believe
we have enough of both. At
least we have enough to at
tempt a weekly.”
Because of the semester break,
this issue will be the only one
published in January. The follow
ing number, which will be pub
lished in February, will be the
first as a weekly publication.
“This i s somethng we’ve
wanted to do for a long time,”
said Pearre. “We feel that a

Dies Dec. 22
Miss Mary Stackhouse Fore,
associate Professor of English
and longtime English teacher at
UNC-C, died Wednesday, Dec. 22,
at Wesley Nursing Center after
a long illness.
Miss Fore had been teaching at
the University since its humble
beginning in 1946 in the basement
of the old Central High School.
Until 1957; when she became
a full time facidty mepiber.
Miss Fore taught, at Harding
High School ip Charlotte .Be
fore she came to Charlotte, she
taught at schools in Kingsport,
Tenn., Beaufort, S.C., and Day-
ton, Ohio.
Here she was in charge of the
scholarship committee. She also
worked a great deal with future
teachers.
■ She was a member of the
American Association of Uni
versity Prerfessors, North Caro
lina English Teachers, and Delta
Kappa Gamma teachers honorary
society.
She was born in Latta, S.C.,
and graduated from Winthrop
College. She received her mas
ter’s degree at Colombia Uni
versity. She did post graduate
work at Harvard University,
Didie University, and the Uni
versity of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill.
Funeral was held ’Thursday,
Dec. 24, at Harry and Bryant
Chapel in the Oaks. Burial was
at Magnolia Cemetery in Latta.
Dr. Loy H. Witherspoon, Uni
versity Chaplin, officiated at the
service.
Surviving are her brother, Wil
liam C. Fore, a nephew, and two
nieces, all of Latta.
University deserves a weekly
student publication.”
With the change in pnblca-
tion dates comes a new asrtga-
ment of office space for news
paper faciUtiei. The Journal,
the yearbook, and the Stndent
Government are alt using room
215 in the Union while con
struction work is heing done in
their former offices.
’The Journal is printed at the
Charlotte Observer and at the
Observer-News Enterprise in
Newton. Composition work is
done at the Observer and off-set
printing is completed in Newton.
“The cost of printing being
what it is, we are going to need
additional advertising if wb are
to complete the year as we have
planned,” Pearre said.
“Also there is the matter of
obtaining qualified staff mem
bers. At present, no journalism
course is offered (here) and
those who know how to write
newspaper are rather scarce,”
he add^.
Dr. Wallace, chairman of the
English department, said a jour
nalism course would be offered
as soon as possible.
Newspapers are distributed on
campus in four locations — in the
Union lobby, in L building, in the
Kennedy building, and beween B
and C buildings.
Two thousand newspapers are
published for each number and
approximately 1800 .are dis
tributed in wire baskets on
campus. The Journal maintains
an exchange program with about
30 schools in this area including
the other three branches of tiie
University of North Carolina.
“Wq hope the students appr^
ciate a weekly paper. It’s thw
newspaper: all we ask is that
they read it,” said Pearre.
