For Frosh Top Job
by sandy caudle
Two candidates are contending
for the office of President of the
Freshman Class. David Guy re
presents the University Party, and
running independently is Bucky
Weston.
David Guy, born in Long Is
land, New York, now makes his
home in Bear Poplar, North Car
olina. While attending West Rowan
High School David won many hon
ors. He received a West Point
nomination, a ' Ford Foundation
award for imaginative and creative
work in chemistry, and the Cur
tiss Magazine Salesmanship Award
for initiative, David was also a
member of the Audio-Visual and
Science Clubs. In addition, he was
the treasurer of his church youth
group.
David, whos major is mechan
ical engineering, had very defin
ite reasons for applying to UNC-C.
He explained, “UNC-C is a new
university with new ideas. It al
ready has a fine reputation in the
state, as well as great potential
for the future.”’
Between school and a part-time
job, David still tries to find time
for sports. He enjoys hunting, fish
ing, boxing, and physical fitness
training.
In high school, David had a
Rotarian Club
First Of Its
Kind In World
A service club connected with
the Rotarians, the first of its type
« the campus of a four-year
campus, is forming here. It stems
from the Interact Clubs in var
ious high schools in this area.
The club now has a member
ship of approximately 16 male stu
dents and Rotarian Charles Grier
of Charlotte is working with the
boys to help get started.
According to Rotarians, it is
hoped that other similar college
and university clubs will spring
out of the experiment here. Ro
tarians would like someday to have
an international organization of
such service clubs.
Club member Joe Biron said
the club’s constitution has been
submitted to the legislatureandits
passage is pending.
The club wHl meet today to elect
officers.
“The club needs members,”
said Biron, “And all interested
males are invited to attend the
meeting.”
Commissioners Pledge

complete course in Parliamentarj
proceedure, a requirement for
anyone wishing to run for a pol
itical office there. Furthermore,
he has always taken an interest
in politics and current events.
David states his reasons for
running for Presidentof the Fresh
man Class as follows.
“I believe that every student
should take an active part in the
student government at one time or
another in his university career.
I am interested in student govern
ment and politics in general, and
so when approached by some of
my friends to run for president, I
agreed. And - well - here I am.”
Bucky Weston (a psychology ma
jor) is also a candidate for the
presidency, but without any party
affiliation.
Although born in Charleston,
South Carolina, Bucky feels that
New Orleans, Louisiana is his
home. There he attended East
Jefferson High School, whose stu
dent boyd consisted of 1900 boys.
Bucky participated in both basket
ball and football. (Now he is a
member of UNC-C’s varsity bas
ketball team.) He was secretary of
the Delta Alpha Kappa Fraternity,
and was voted the most athletic
in the fraternity. Bucky also at
tended Pelican Boys State.
Vice president of the Chess
Club, Bucky is an outstanding chess
player. He was not only Number 1
cn his team at East Jefferson,
but he also ranked fourth in the
city of New Orleans.
Last February, Bucky moved to
Charlotte and attended West Mec
klenburg for one semester. He had
originally planned to go to either
Louisiana State University or TU-
lane University; however, the move
led him to decide on UNC-C.
Bucky, a Lutheran, has held
several offices in his Church youth
groups. Among these are vice
president and Sociai Actions
Chairman.
When asked why he is running
for President of the Freshman
Class, Bucky replied, “I feel that
many aspects of the University
could be improved, and I want to
have a part in making UNC-C
a better university.
Botli presidential candidatesand
the vice - presidential candidate,
Charlie Brown, will speak during
the Freshman Assembly at 11:30
a. m., Wednesday, October 26,
in the University Ballroom.
BY GAYLE WATTS
Mecklenburg County Commi
ssioners have assured thatUNC-C
wiU get city water, regardless of
the success of failure of a $5
million bond election, planned for
January.
These bonds would be self-liq
uidating since they would be paid
for by the users. “They would not
cost the tax payers anything,”
Chairman Sam T. Atkinson Jr.
said.
“Even if we have to put a line
out to the University with tax
money, we’re goint to have to do
it,” said Mr. Atkinson.
The commissioners’ sense of
urgency is two-fold. They feel
that, without city water running to
the campus, UNC-C has little hope
of getting a $20 million capital
improvement program through the
legislature. Also, a city water
line along U. S. 29 is desired for
industrial purposes, particularly
for a proposed management center
for the Collins and Aikman tex
tile firm, which will border Uni
versity property.
Of the three proposals originally
reported to the City Council by
W, M. Franklin, superintendent
of the Water Department, plans
have been adopted for a 20” main
along Highway 29 from OwenBlvd.
Careers Meet
To Be At UNC
“Careers for Carolina”, a con
ference on public service career
opportunities in federal, state, and
local government, sponsored by the
student government of UNC - CH
and The Institute of Government,
will be held on the UNC - CH
campus, October 28, starting at
1:30 pjn.
By hearing and questioning car
eer public servants, students par
ticipating in the program may gain
insight into job opportunities open
to him.
Students interested are asked
to contact Dean MacKay immed
iately.
BY SALLY HAGOOD
Dr. Ellis addressed the Legis
lature on Monday, October 17,
concerning the United Appeal. He
has been appointed the U. A. re
presentative for this campus to the
community. Dr. Ellis mentioned
that 43 chairitable organizations
are maintained by U. A. and that
97(1 of every dollar collected is
turned over to these organizations.
October 26 will be United Appeal
Day on campus.
Dr. EUis also explained that
the new committee consisting of
the Class Presidents, Student Body
President, Dean Wahab and him
self would be concerned only with
academic problems of the students.
Mr. Britton reported that the
Consolidated Universities were
taking a united stand for exams
before Christmas. This idea was
rejected last year by the Board
of Trustees. There has also been
proposed action against resuming
classes on January 2.
Carolina has passed legislation
allowing all students of the Con
solidated University System to use
their I. D.’s as admission to all
Graham Memorial events. Student
I. D.’s will not be honored for
athletic events.
The Annual Constitution was ap
proved and the Pep Club Consti
tution was presented for consid
eration. This constitution will be
voted on at the next meeting on
October 31, 1966.
Marilyn Pearce is one of the
nurses who will be wearing her
green uniform while collecting
for the United Appeal.
Fabulous 5 WiU Emit Tones
Bob Collins and the Fabulous Five
BY CAROL HAYWOOD
Bob Collins and the Fabulous
Five have appeared before student
bodies at Chapel Hill, Raleigh,
and Greensboro, Now they are
about to emit their musical tones
for the students here.
Sally Hagood’s Social Committee
has big plans for the HaUoween
Dance in the cafeteria on Friday,
October 28. Tickets for this dance
wiU be $1.00 for UNC-C couples
and $3.00 for outside couples.
Admission tokens wiU not only
aUow the students to hear and
dance to the music of tlie Fab
ulous Five, but wiU also permit
the students to view the art han
diwork of the Social Committee in
their efforts to turn the cafeteria
into a Halloween fantasy.
By the way, members ot the
Social Committee at the door who
are checking student identification
cards will not expect to see ghosts
and goblins appear, but students
in casual dress.
All students are expected to
make a showing sometime between
9 and 1 for the Halloween Dance
with the Fabulous Five, because
the insurance of future dances
depends on the success of every
dance held.
