Freshmen
Elect New
Officers
Larry Williams and Kit Ward
were elected President and Vice-
president of the freshman class
at a meeting held last Wednesday,
at which time five legislative rep
resentatives were also elected.
These positions had been vacated
at the end of fall semester. Most
of the officers elected last fall
were forced to resign for failure
to maintain a 2.0 or higher quality
point average or for other per
sonal reasons.
Third Forum To
University, World
Discuss
Politics
The election of Williams and
Ward to executive positions in
creased the number of represen
tative positions to be filled from
three to five. Chosen to take the
vacant positions by a simple majo
rity were Allen Hickok, Thurman
WiUis, Becky Ballentine, Steve
Kendrick, and Joe Blanton.
Approximately forty fresh
men were present at the meeting,
which was opened by student body
president John Gaither.
THE FORUM
The University op North Carolina at
Charlotte, March l, 1968
Mr. Gaither addressed several
remarks to the freshmen prior
to the elections. He informed these
yearlings that their class was
in possession of “the most at
rocious attrition rate I can re
member,” and explained to them
the necessary qualifications for
a member of tte legislature.
Following the elections, he ad
vised the new officers and rep
resentatives of their duties, the
principal ones being to represent
their class in the student legis
lature and to serve on commit
tees as appointed.
Mr. Gaither then explained the
upcoming referendum for the con
stitution change and instructed the
freshmen t o read the copy of
the constitution printed in last
week’s Journal. He also informed
those present of the student
government assembly that is to
take place today in the Parquet
Room. The purpose of this
assembly is to formally present
he new constitution to the student
)ody and to answer any questions
hat might arise concerning the
differences between the old and
new constitutions.
This forum, “The University and Interna
tional Relations—the Challenge of Tomorrow,”
is the third in a series of annual campus events
designed to explore major issues confronting
higher education, the United States, and the
world. Traditionally, universities have ad
dressed themselves to the problems of interna
tional relations in the present or in retrospect.
It has become increasingly evident, however,
that what is needed is a systematic effort to
peer over the horizon and to understand the po
tential problems of tomorrow. Toward this
objective, the University Forum Council has in
vited four specialists to examine a number of
provocative questions in what we trust will be
a highly imaginative, pathbreaking
inquiry.
Members of the Forum Council are drawn
from the University faculty, administration,
student body, and the local community. The
Forum was made possible by support from
the Foundation of the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte and other friends.

faculty members, administrators,

international relations specialists
will “examine a number of pro
vocative questions in what we trust
will be a highly imaginative, path
breaking inquiry.”

vard’s official greeting at 10:00
a.m. Friday, Dr. Henry Kissinger,
Professor of Government, Har
vard University, will deliver an

by student vote to take effect.
Student body president John
Gaither will present the proposed
constitution to student s in an
11:30 assembly today in the par
quet room. He will answer any
questions which might be raised
in regard to the document.
The new constitution is divided
into the constitution proper and a
set of studentgovemmentassocia-
tion by-laws. Bill Billups, student
vice president, says the constitu
tion could now be called the struc
ture while the by-laws include pro
cedures to be used in regard to
such items as elections, quali
fications for office, installation of
officers, etc.

constitution is basically similar
