Park Fest
This Week
By STEVE JONES
I What is a University? What are
I the different aspects of college
I life? What is the average college
I student really like? These ques-
I tions and many more are being
answered for the estimated three-
fourths of a million people who
will visit Charlotte’ annual “Fes-
I tival in the Park” this week.
The answers are found at the
I exhibit sponsored by this campus.
This is the first year the Uni-
: versity has been invited to par-
ticipate in the Festival, and much
I work has been done to insure our
I display an outstanding representa
tive of college Ufe.
I The work has been done under
I the guidance of Mr. Brenton Steele,
I director of the Union, and Miss
I Barbara Kasler, director of crafts.
I The theme, “The University
j Comming into Focus”, has been
I divided into four major areas of
I student life: Student Government,
Faculty
Expands
Publicity, Athletics, and Campus
Life. These major subdivisions
are explained through a display
of pictures taken all over campus
and by the distribution of various
college publications.
The display is housed in a 22’ x
10’ striped umbrella tent with a
large pole in front symbolizing
UNC-C. The tent is being manned
by a representative from each of
the four major areas of college
life.
Special entertainment will be
provided at the tent at various
times. A discussion will be led by
Dr. Witherspoon, an exhibit will
be presented by the Fine Arts
Department, jerry Vincent will
play the guitar on Friday, and
“The Minority,” a campus group,
will play on Sunday.
The Festival began yesterday
and will continue through Sunday,
September 24. The times are 6 pjn.
to 10:00 p. m. on week nights,
and from 10 to 10 on Saturday
and from 2 to 10 on Sunday.
The Festival was opened by a
concert given by Raul Spivak,
the University’s musician in re
sidence. The famous Serendipity
Singers will be on hand to enter
tain also.
Students are encouraged to visit
the colorful festival for an enter
taining evening.

Barnstormers
To Add Variety
By KAY WATSON
( Continued on page 2)
The Barnstormers, the literary
club on campus, was formed in
the early spring of last year. Its
major purpose is to publish the
material written by its members.
The name Barnstormers was
chosen because the Barnstormers
were slick aerial artists who tour
ed the country giving dramatic per
formances, and in a sense, the
literary group is performing. Also,
according toEditor Jerry Hancock,
“The names of other literary mag
azines tend to frightenpeopleoff.”
This year the magazine will be
upblished a total of six times.
Issues wiU come out in October,
November, December, February,
March, and April. Part of this
year’s first issue is a remnant of
last semester’s work. Hopefully,
this issue will be off the press
by the time that you are reading
this. This issue will serve to
introduce new freshmen and trans
fer students to the Barnstormer.
Jerry’s plans for the magazine
include a desire to use more
satire and humor. The magazine
will maintain its serious mood, al
though the variety of articles will
be greater. By doing this, Jerry
hopes to interest more people into
reading and writing for the Barn
stormer. Like last year, the mag
azine will have twenty pages, but
Jerry hopes to expandthisasrnuch
as finances wiU allow.
Anyone interested in writing for
the Barnstormer should submit his
material in duplicate, typed and
double spaced. Articles for the
magazine should be left at the
Union desk. The only otlier stip
ulation is that the article must
not have been published before.
H space allows, Jerry would like
to publish letters to the editor and
comments on students’ reactions to
the magazine. He also wants to
publish faculty work.
Membership is open to all those
who have an interest in writing or
in literature in general. Members
According to Dr. McEniry, the
first goal would be to use the
money to increase the knowledge of
the German scientific world in this
country and second priority would
be given to increasing the know
ledge of the German industrial and
commercial world. If there are no
applicants for these areas of study,
consideration will be given to other
scholarly fields.
Leon F. Moody, vice president
and general manager of the Char
lotte BASF organization, made the
grant. He hopes the funds will
be used to promote better inter
national understanding by exposure
of the staff here to matters of
international concern through
visits to foreign countries.
BASF is the United States sub
sidiary of Badische Anilin & Soda
F’abrik AG Ludwigshafen A. Rhein
West Germany, a large interna
tional chemical corporation.
Chancellor D. W. Colvard was
pleased with the grant and com
mented that it would enable this
institution to become more aware

Mr. Herman, a senior political
science major, continues, “We

mulate an intellectual climate here
on campus through discussion and
debate of local, national, and in
ternational affairs.”
The Christmas program being

the presentation of a number of
folk carols and light “listenable”
anthems. In addition, the Chorus

siah” on December 3rd.
