Richard Gilman Will Speak
At Forum On Arts, Sciences
BY CAROL DURHAM
As part of the continuing pro
gram to bring topics and speakers
of community and national interest
here a committee of students and
faculty members will, tor the
second year, sponsor a forum con
cerning a foremost community and
university issue. Last year the
topic concerned the role of the
university in urban development;
this year the development of a full-
fledged arts and sciencesprogram
along with the establishment of a
separate college for this program
at the University of North Caro
lina at Charlotte will be discussed.
A forum dealing with this topic
is especially appropriate now since
the North Carolina Legislature has
tentatively announced plans to con
sider the establishment of such a
college at the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte.
In order to assure the success
of the 1967 forum the Forum
Committee has made an effort to
secure speakers who are con
sidered to be authorities in some
field of the arts. One of the major
fields to be represented is drama
and the theatre, Richard Gilman,
Newsweek magazine’s drama
critic and an outstanding poet and
free lance writer wiU be one of
the two speakers to discuss drama.
Since joining Newsweek in 1964
Gilman has been Associate Editor
in charge of the magazine’s drama
section. Previous to that date he
had persued a career as a free
lance writer. Hisarticlesappeared
in such well known magazines as
the New Republic, Horizon, Sat
urday Review, Theatre Arts,
and Harpers Bazaar.

Journal Is Packed
With Articles
Better Than Ever
The Journal has quite a few
interesting articles on its inside
pages. Not that it hasn’t had any
thing of interest on these sheets
before — it’s just that we think
it’s better than ever this time.
On the second page, readers will
enjoy a large photo of those ras
cals, the Studs. Then there’s a
feature about the new literary mag
azine on campus on page three.
Page four has a picture story
having to do with the new fencing
class and the Dean’s List is on
Five. The second installment on
“Draft - Free Canada” appears
on the sixth page while Larry Keith
explores the contradictions of Dr.
Witherspoon’s dual role inhis col
umn, Point Blank. Page eight has
the Esquire fashion column and
Little Man cartoons.
We’re packed this week.
acas.
Other members of the four-man
group include Skip Henry on lead
guitar and vocals, Jeff Many on
bass guitar and vocals, and Robert
Hudson on percussion and vocals.
Both Henry and Many are students
at Catawba College while Hudson
attends Davidson County Co
mmunity College.
“The present members of the
group, having been together for
approximately one year, we are
quite tight,” said Hostetter, “We
know what each of us is thinking
on stage. Unfortunately, no one else
knows what we are thinking or
if we are thinking at all,”
Describing ihe type of per
formance for which students are in
store Hostetter said, “Orpheus’
feat of charming the rocks from the
fields is overshadowed as the aud
ience is mesmerized by the inex-
plicaple sights and sounds of tlie
Studs.”
Audiences mesmerized by the
Studs in the past have included
those attending the Catawba
College Junior Class talent show.
The combo captured third place
in that event in 1965 and a year
later copped first place honors.
“With a heavy reliance on the
British sound,” said Hostetter,
“we are usually booked as a nov
elty act in the South. Our reper
toire is quite variant so that if a
person stays tor the whole dance,
we will eventually play something
he likes.”

aging financial news from Gov
ernor Dan K. Moore and the
Advisory Budget Commission on
Monday night, February 13.
Of the $27,781,678 requested in
the three part budget submitted
for the 1967 - 1969 biennium,
$24,946,267 was recommended.
The three sections of the budget
caisist of $5,510,545 to keep up
the present programs, $2,516,033
for new programs, and$19,755,100
for new buildings, land, and park
ing facilities.
According to Moore’s recom
mendation $18,7 million of the
money requested for physical fac
ilities would be allowed. All of
this mcmey will not come as dir
ect appropriations. Of the $18.7
million, $10.5 million will be dir
ectly from state funds. The
remainder will come from almost
$3 million in federal funds and
over $5 million on projects which
pay tor themselves.
The first dormitories on this
campus — two 500-student build
ings — would be included in this
money. Thd cost of these dorms
is $3.4 million — half of which
will come from state appropria
tions and half from self - liquid
ating bonds which would be paid
off from student rental fees.
Other new facilities recom
mended included a $4.1 million
health and physical education
building, a $3.9 million building
addition to the library, a $2 mill
ion fine arts building, and a $1
million cafeteria.
Moore’s recommendation ap
proved $5.5 million to continue
present facilities and programs.
Only $696,222 of the $2.5 mil
lion desired for new programs
was approved. This money will be
used for salary increases,
business office expansion, library
improvements, and a new masters
degree program in public school
teaching.
The largest cut in the new pro
gram funds was in a request for
approximately $1 million for new
research and teaching personnel.
Just $60,000 of this amount was
approved.
The request for $731,256 for new
library books and equipment was
cut to $177,808.
