Britton Wins Student Body Presidency
Stokely Is New VP;
Jones Wins Union Job
Tim Britton was elected president of the student body
and Bud Stdkely vice-president in elections held April 6 and
7. Britton was backed by the Student Party while Stokely
was the choice of the University Party.
In a comparatively large turn- ~
out at the polls, Britton defeated
Wayne Furr who ran as an
independent, by a count of 370 to
159. Bud Stokely scored a victory
over his Student Party opponent,
Sam Scott, 331 to 199.
The race for secretary of the
student body was won by the
independent Martha Caton. Her
victory margin over Student Par
ty candidate WUma Happy was
330 to 196.
Sue Garrett of the Student
Party was elected SGA Treas
urer unopposed.
The Student Party’s slate of
candidates for University Union
offices ran uncontested and was
elected. Frank Jones attained the
position of Union chairman while
Nelson Lemmond received the
nod for vice-chairman and the
office of secretary went to Tish
Schenck.
A write-in candidate, Phyllis
Henline, won the treasurer’s
position.
Ellison Clary Jr. ran unop
posed for the editorship of the
Carolina Journal and was
elected.
Tim Britton saw UNC-C “ ...
in a crucial growth stage.” He
added that it “. . . . must be
guided and supported by more
than just a few students.
“With the help of the entire
student body, we can make this
next year the year in which we
truly attain university status,” he
said.
Newly elected vice-president
Bud Stokely commented, “I
was most gratified by the vote
of confidence which the student
body gave to the two-party
system. As vice-president I
shall do my best to be worthy
of the trust bestowed upon me,
and I shall, in all sincerity,
attempt to keep an open mind
concerning matters brought be
fore the Student Legislature.”
Frank Jones indicated he would
need the help of all interested
students to serve on University
Union committees such as social,
fine arts, lecture, and publicity.
In regard to his plans for next
year, he said, “I hope to plan at
least one social function each
month. With the new ballroom,
these functions should be the
highlight of each month.
“I want very much to have
interesting and educational lec
tures here. One person I have
already started procedures to get
is Eric Sevareid, CBS national
correspondent.”
A partial list of entertainers
which Jones hopes will appear
here sometime next year includes
the Tams, the Fabulous Five, the
Swinging Medallions, the Impres
sions, and the Supremes.

The Carolina Journal needs
photographers. It has none at
the present time. The golf
picture on page three was
taken by the editor. When you
see it you will begin to realize
how badly the Journal needs
photographers.
Why don’t some of you
camera bugs leave your
names and addresses at the
Union desk. We’ll get in touch
with you.

Dr. Colvard Honored
By Charlotte C Of C
By SALLY HAGOOD
Dr. Dean Colvard, newly se
lected chancellor here, was hon
ored at a formal reception and
dinner by the Charlotte Chamber
of Commerce at the Queen
Charlotte Hotel Tuesday, April
12.
Following a welcoming ad
dress by W. T. Harris, president
of the Chamber of Commerce,
an impressive list of North
Carolinians, including Mayor
Stan Brookshire and Dr. Bonnie
Cone, spoke.
Watts Hill Jr., Chairman of the
Board of Higher Education of
North Carolina, praised Charlotte
tor working with the Board
instead of by-passing it as East
Carolina has done and expressed
his admiration for the Chancellor
Selection Committee for their
choice of Dr. Colvaid as Chan
cellor.
Dr. William Friday said that
Dr. Colvard has proven himself
an important part of the ad
ministration of N.C. State
where he helped initiate
policies which still guide the
school.
Following Dr. Friday’s re
marks, Dr. Colvard addressed
the reception by praising Dr.
Cone and her associates.
“I must pay tribute to Dr.
Bonnie Cone and those who
have worked with her. I salute
them for the solid foundation
for a university which has been
wrought with skill, diligence,
and sensitive insight, and for
the spirit which guarantees
that noble public purpose takes
precedence over ail other con
siderations. In building the
fourth campus of our great
University system. Dr. Cone
has been both gracious and
helpful to me as I become a
member of the team,” he said.
Dr. Colvard quoted the Spanish
philosopher Jose Ortega Gasset
who described the role of the
university in the community.
“The university must be open
to the realities of its time. It
must be in the midst of real-life
and saturated with it. The life of
the people needs acutely to have
the university participate, as the
university, in its affairs.”
Accelerated urbanization in
America has resulted in a
society of relocated people with
the desire for bigger and better
educational facilities.
“. . . the development of soci
ety has taken emphasis away
from the muscle and upon the
mind of man. All over our
country w'e are now witnessing
the burgeoning of new universi
ties rising up to meet the
demands as cultural centers and
as seats for undergraduate, pro
fessional, and poft-graduate
learning.” Colvard said.
Closing, he said his purpose at
that time was “. . . NOT to
enunciate long range plans Imt
rather to place emphasis upbn
planning. We shall strive to
