Wayfarers Draw Crowd of 350
Bridget Hanley Interviewed
Looking young and vivacious
and very much like a student,
Bridget Hanley spoke informally
with students last Wednesday in
the back lounge of the Union.
Miss Hanley was in Charlotte on a
tour promoting the television
show “Here Come the Brides” in
which she stars as Candy Pruitt.
Although she was speaking
primarily for the drama students,
a crowd of about seventy-five
people gathered to listen and ask
questions.
Miss Hanley is a graduate of the
University ofWashington where she
studied drama. Her goal was to
perform on Broadway, but she
began in Summer Stock after
college and then changed to
television, never getting to New
York.
“Here Come the Brides” is a
story much like the play “Seven
Brides for Seven Brothers”. It’s
the story of three brothers who
own a logging camp where the
loggers threaten to leave unless
women are brought to the almost
womanless camp. The brothers
leave their Seattle home in search
of brides for their workers. They
go to Bedford, Mass, where there
are over one hundred women
without husbands because the
men had been killed in tbe Civil
War. There they succeed in
arranging a contract with the
women and set out on the journey
back to Seattle on a “boat-a
mule” boat! Miss Hanley stars as
Candy Pruitt, the leader of the
women. The series is a
combination of drama, comedy,
and romance. Only twice does a
gun appear in the series.
While Miss Hanley spoke she
captivated the attention of the
students and the crowd grew-mo''
of the additional crowd was boy
Opened to questioning, Bridg t
answered questions about salary, a
typical day of Television shooting
and the show. Asked about the
presumed “fabulous” salary of a
Television personality, she
explained that although the
average salary is about S800 a
week, about 50% goes to income
tax, 10% to the agent, and a star
has to pay for her own publicity.
She also said that a typical day
consisted of about 15 working
hours. She arrives on the set at
about six o’clock A.M. lor
make-up and bair styling. Then
the shooting lasts until about 7:.^0
P.M. After she goes home, she
learns her lines alone.
“Here Come the Brides”
premiered last Wednesday night
and will be shown every week on
channel 18 at 7:30.

Parquet Filled
By Wayne Eason
Last Wednesday in the Parquet
Room a capacity crown of over
300 students, some with standing
room only, witnessed the tantastic
performance ot the superb tolk
group. The Wayfarers, s. Here at
UNC-C for their second
appearence ot the year, Ray
Blouin, Corky Hart, and David
Hull packed then in and treated
dieir audience with their usual
fine banjo-picking and
guitar-strumming-not to slight
David's bass-playing.
To the surprise of those in
attendance. Mr. Jim Turner of
Charlotte television station
WCCB, Channel 18, was
introduced after The Wayfarers
had performed their first number.
Mr. Turner was here to present
television star, Brigettc Hanley ot
the new ABC show, “Here Come
'file Brides”.
After she had plugged her new
show and told the audience about
life in Hollywood as a television
star. The Wayfarers returned to
comple their new release
“Skyjacker”. I’he tone of their
tunes ranged lorm the very
comical to the very serious side of
love and, when lose is lost, the
warm memories that linger in the
hearts of those alone. The pilch ot
the listener’s ear swayed with the
songs of I'he Wayfarers. At limes
there was laughter all aiound,
ringing through the roomother
limes looks of solitude and
loneliness came over a few laces.
One could sec that The Wayfarers
had gotten across their messages
of joy and happiness, their
feelings of love, and their unique
style of singing.
Instead of taking their usual
break in the middle of their
concert, the fellows played from
I I ;30 right up to I ;()(). During
the concert people kept coming in
and out of the Parr|uct Room.
Those seated refused to give up
their seats and s sal by greatly
empathizing with 'flic Wayfarers.

Legislature Acts On Budgets
By Sherry Drake,Junior
Class Representative
On Monday, September
23,1968, the Student Legislature
met in regular session. The
primary business of the meeting
was to apropriate funds to the
various publications and
organizations on campus.
The Finance Committee,
Chaired by Mr. Danny Phillips,
worked for several weeks
examining and re-examining
request. Although all
organizations turned in line item
budgets, the committe followed
standard Legislature procedure
and only looked at total amounts
indeciding when it was necessary
to cut each application for funds.
It was felt that the editors and
other heads of organizations were
better qualified to determine
exactly where their budgets
should be.
Although three of the five
submitted budgets were reduced,
none of the organizations received
less than the amounts which they
were given last year.
The budgets requested a total
of $39,978, while the Legislature
was only $35,000 given only from
Student Activity Fees with which
to work.
The following chart gives the
amounts asked for by each
organization and the am ouiit
which were allocated to them.
In addition to this year’s funds,
the Legislature had an
unencumbered balance of $802
from last year and a savings
accounts containing $2,318.
These funds totaling $3,120, were
not used becaused in the last few

years several organizations have
overspent , and the Legislature
felt that tliese funds should be
kept in reserve for any unforsceii
emergencies that might occur
between now and next May when
this school term is over.
THE BARNSTORMER request
was tabled in committee because
of the uncertain by concerning its
future at that time. The
Legislature has the option of
acting on it later.
The Legislature also approved
40 members for the Liectioii
Committee which is chaired this
year by Mr. Jerald Burks. Mr.
Burks asked that Section 3 of the
division of the Bylaws pertaining
to elections be altered so that
Class Officers, Representatives,
and Judges will be elected within
three weeks after the election | of
President and Vice President of
SGA instead of two weeks,
