Wayfarers On Campus Today
Folk Group Returns
UNC-C Offers
yevv Majors
The fall
semester began September 9 at
the University of North Carolina
at Charlotte with a broader range
of academic offerings.
Students were able to major in
three fields for the first time at
UNC-C. They are geography,
philosophy and physics.
Among the new courses
available are four noteworthy
ones. An interdisciplinary course,
“Revolution and Social Change,”
is being taught by a team of three
teachers, Dr. Barbara Goodnight
in sociology. Dr. John Robbins in
history, and Mr. William Biglow in
political science. The course deals
with revolution from the
perspective of the sociologist, the
political scientist and the
historian. Students will do a great
deal of work for the seminar-type
class on their own.
A Humanaties course entitled
“Man and Reality in Western
Literature” is being taught by Dr.
Steven Fishman and Professor
Robert Byerly, both professors of
philosophy.
A course in English linquistics is
being taught by Dr. Lazaras
Varnas, a specialist in the field.
Dr. Nancy Edwards of the'
Biology Department is teaching
the University’s first course in
physiology.
Piano is being taught by an
outstanding musician.
For the first time students are
attending the University under
new degree requirements which
give them considerably more
options in the course they take.
If folk music is the “voice” of
our time-a time searching for
answers, a time exploring the past,
a time taping the sources of.
knowledge, a time interpreting
our lives from day to day, a time
with heartfelt hopes of
tomorrow-then the “voice” may
well be a superb young group
known as The Wayfarers. Blending
the voices of yesterday, today,
and tomorrow, the joy with the
sad, and the commonplace with
the unusual, these bright singers
bring back what has been missing
for so long in contemporary
entertainment.
The Wayfarers, each an
individually talented artist in his
own right, together have created
an association that has excelled
any individual success. Onstage a
performance by The Wayfarers
gives the impression that each

Publications Board Meets
Stewart Appointed
This year’s Student Publications
Board will be composed of the
following members: Dr. Darryl
McCall, chairman; Cindy Trexler,
Editor of the ROGUES ‘N
RASCALS; R. T. Smith, Editor of
the CAROLINA JOURNAL;
Roger Grosswald, Editor of the
BARNSTORMER; Dr. Bonnie
Cone, faculty representative; Mr.i
Sam Watson, faculty
representative; Sherry Drake,
Student Legislature
Representative; Bud Stewart, staff
representative from the
CAROLINA JOURNAL; Wayne
Eason, staff representative from
the ROGUES ‘N RASCALS; Ed
Graham, Staff Representative
from the BARNSTORMER;
Mr.Leon Gatlin and Miss Pat
Harris, while not voting members,
will sit in on the Board’s meeting
as advisors to the CAROLINA
JOURNAL and ROGUES ‘N
RASCALS, respectively. Mr. Ken
Sanford as Publicity Director of
the University will also be an
exofficio member of the board.
Among the things acted upon
by the board this year has been
the acceptance of Mr. Sanford’s
resignation as advisor to the
JOURNAL, and the approval of
Mr. Gatlin to fill that position.
Budgets for all three publications
have been studied and approved,
and forwarded to the Student
Legislature for approval. The
Board has also approved contracts
for the publication of the
JOURNAL and the ROGUES N
RASCALS.
As chairman of the Board, Dr..
McCall appointed Gayle Watts
Secretary and Sherry Drake
Treasurer for the Board. The
Board also had positions to fill on
the University Council and the
Studert Activities Committees. It
was thought that one member
could best keep the channels of
communication open between
both committees and the Board.
With this in mind and with the
approval of the Board. Dr. McCall
to fill
appointed Bud Stewart
both positions.
For freshmen and transfer
students it should perhaps be
explained that the Student
Publications Board is the
regulatory body for the
CAROLINA JOURNAL
BARNSTORMER, and
ROGUES ‘N RASCALS,
board is an advisory council for
the individual publications as well
as the policy-making body for
them. Students are also reminded
that the Board is the means by
which students may make their
feelings about the various
publications known.

The
Ivey Travel
Collection Given
Mrs. George
M. Ivey, Sr. has given the
University of North Carolina at
Charlotte the voluminous travel
collection of her late husband.
The collection includes
thousands of color slides taken on
trips around the world and
travelogues of many of the tours.
Mr. Ivey, the former president
and treasurer of J. B. Ivey and
Company, died earlier this year.
“if this collection is helpful in
an educational way, Mr. Ivey
would be pleased.” Mrs. Ivey said.
UNC-C acting librarian Joseph
Boykin says that the collection
will be of value as resource
material in art, geography and to
architecture if such a program
should develop.
Barnstormer Is Revitalized
THE BARNSTORMER, the
campus literary magazine, will be
published once a semester this
year instead of the once-a-month
schedule that it has tried to
maintain since its creation two
years ago. The magazine presents
most forms of writing and art in
its format. It has carried poetry,
short stories, essays, and satiric
articles in the past issues. Tire'
magazine has also tried to present
some of the art work done by
students here on campus. This
year’s BARNSTORMER will be
approximately sixty-five pages in
each of the two issues.
Roger Grosswald will be the
editor for the magazine this year.
Roger returned to school after a
two-year tour with the Army.
Wliile in service, he spent part of
his time in Viet Nam. He was
editor of the old PARNASSIAN,
the literary magazine, when he'
was on campus in ‘63-‘65 before
going into service. Roger said that
the magazine will be stressing the
creativity of the students. He
believes that the oiKe-a-semester
publication will allow for higher
quality in the presentatiem of
articles.
Mr. Sam Watson will be the new

beginning
second year with the University is
in the English Department. Along
with his other subjects, he teaches
Advanced Composition and is
interested in creative writing.
Those who ate interested in
working in any manner with the
BARNSTORMER should contact
Roger Grosswald, Mr. Watson, or
any member of the
BARNSTORMER staff.
T hope the slides will help
people understand the world they
live in,” Mrs. Ivey said. “Perhaps
they will realize that we should
not be constaatly trying to forcS
our culture on other people.”
Mr. Ivey’s collection was almost
professionally catalogued. “His
joy was to take pictures,” Mrs.
Ivey says. But Mr. Ivey apparently
enjoyed to have things well
organized also. “He intimately
catalogued them,” Mr. Boykin
says.
Mr. Ivey’s catalogue gives the
date, the subject, the lens setting,
the aperture, and the time of the
picture.
His logs contain a great deal of
detail as to the ship, his family,
travel companions, and shipboard
acquaintances.
Althouglr the collection has not
been completely researched, there
are slides going back at least as far
as a set of flower slides in 1937,
Tlien there is a trip to the West
Indies in 1938.
Typical of the slides with
travelogues are the following:
Africa and Around the World,
January-April, 1963.
South America,
February-March 1961.
Alaska, August, 1965.
Antarctica, Novernber-
December, 1964.
Grand tour of the World,
February-May 1967.
Mr. Boykin plans to have the
collection fully assessed and
prepared for university use.
member of the group is brother to
the other. Brotherhood lies only
in the amazing precision with
which The Wayfarers perform.
Ray Blouin. born in Charleston,
South Carolina, experienced
mountain music and bluegrass at
an early age. Ray first began playing
the guitar. Out turned Ins efforts
toward the banjo later and then,
througli love of music and the
5-string, accomplished the
mastery of the instrument that he
displays so well today. With a
sharp wit Ray brings comedy and
satire to both the recording and-
performing group known as The
Wayfarers.
A native of southern California,
and a little on the short side-
5’5”-baritone-tenor voiced Corky
Hart began his musical career as a
single performer. After playing in
such places as New York and
Charleston, Corky came upon the
“group sound”. From this idea
came ’The Wayfarers. Blending a
beautiful voice with a remarkable
talent on the guitar. Corky
composes the second one-third of
The Wayfarers.
The man on the bass is David
Hull. David hails from Berkeley,
California, where he began his
studies in music at the age of four.
Since that time David has had
extensive study and training in
instrumental music and voice.
Having reached a proficiency with
twelve instruments, David moved
to Atlanta, Georgia, where he
explored the field of “rock and
roll”. This brand of music did not
measure up to David and his own
particular kind of music. Of “rock
and roll”, says David, “A good
way to lose your talent and your
voice”. David Hull is not merely

‘‘D” Building
To Appear
Within the next few weeks,
construction will begin on a new

has not yet been awarded but
soon will be. Bids have been
made, and the lowest are as
follows: for the general contract,
Myers and Chapman bid
$225,000; for plumbing,
Th o m p k i n s-Johnston bids

D building will connect with C
and L buildings. This connection
will thus form a quadrangle with
buildings A, B, C, and L. The new
structure will consist of 19,384
square feet. This space will
contain eight classrooms,
twenty-eight faculty offices, two
seminar rooms, one workroom,
and two secretary-reception areas.
Only one feature has had to be
excluded from the plans for the
