New Holiday Queen Offically
‘‘Turns On” Christmas Season at UNC-C
The University Union opened
the Christmas season with a bang
last Sunday afternoon in the
Union Parquet Room and lounge.
The Madrigal Singers of Wake
Forest opened the festivities with
a professional program of
Christmas carols and Latin hymns.
The entire audience was pleased
with the performance of the
traveling minstrels. Next on the
agenda was the crowning of the
UNC-C Holiday Queen. Howard
the Santa Claus Winniman
crowned Miss Lynn Allen, a slim,
red-headed freshman, as the
reigning beauty. Miss Allen was
escorted by Richard Dedmon, a
slim, raven-haired senior. The
remainder of the court is as
follows:
First Princess-Miss Cindy
Trexler
Second Princess-Miss Donna
Stewart
Third Princess-Mrs. Cyrina
Psomadakis
Fourth Princess-Miss Jackie
Haney
Miss Allen turned on the lights
on the blue-decorated Scotch
evergreen in the lounge as the
others in attendance drank egg
nog and brandy and ate cookies.
The Queen was selected by
members of the Union Governing
Board and selected faculty and
administrators. The reason for this
was “to take the judging out of
the hands of the student body in
order to prevent this from being a
popularity contest.” The criterion
for judging was personal
appearance alone.
The Union was decorated with
large red bells and greenery. The
jolly Santa led the rest of the
merrymakers in a session of
carolling. Dr. Roy Moose and Dr.
Dan Morrill closed the program
with yule readings. Dr. Morrill
read an original light satire on the
commercialism of Christmas. Dr.
Moose read Milton’s “Qn the
Morning of Christ’s Nativity,”
Yeat’s “The Second Coming,” and
others. The program terminated
before Santa had a chance to get
smashed.
The holiday celebration will
continue with a semi-formal dance
on Wednesday, December
eighteen. The queen and her court
will be honored at the dance, and
all will groove on into the night
with the sounds of The Men of
Note, a four-piece combo. The
dance, a last-minute event, has
been brouglit back by the Union
this year in response to
overwhelming popular demand.
The affair will begin around
eightish and last until the magic
hour of midnight when the
queen’s carriage returns to its
pumpkin-state. Admission will be
two dollars per couple, and
refreshments will be served.
Decorations will be by Jackie
Haney and Lloyd Miller, who
decorated for the lovely Marlena
Shaw dance earlier this
semester.

One, Lose Two
The Charlotte 49-er’s won their
first conference game of the year
as they defeated UNC-Greensboro
66-63. Ben Basinger led the
Qiarlotte victory was tainted by
many turnovers by the Charlotte
Squad.
The 49’ers fell Thursday night
to North Carolina Methodist,
72-67 in a Dixie Conference battle
at Harrisburg.
Tom Bell converted a
three-point play off a drive, giving
the Monarch a 65-63 lead at 3:50.
From this point on, Charlotte was
never ahead. With 25 seconds
remaining, Ray Henderson made
two free throws making the
score 71-67 and putting the
winners out of reach. Henderson
was the big gun in the Methodist
attack as he scored 27 points; and
the lanky forward also played a
scrapping, determined game
defensively.
Jerry Franks and Ben Basinger
led the Charlotte squad with 21
2nd 20 points respectively.

Committee Studies Housing
“How do you think that living
could be organized best to
complement learning?” That’s the
question that was discussed last
■Thursday by the Student Housing
Advisory Committee. Present at
the meeting were Chairman Dr.
Bonnie Cone, Secretary Dean
Donald MacKay, Dr. William
Mathis, Miss Eleanor Caddell, Mr.
Ronald Booth, and students. Miss
Sherry Drake, Mr. Perry Moser,
Miss Kay Watson, and Mr. Wayne
Eason.
To answer that question, the
members discussed the ideas of
resident student counselors-
should they be in the dorms on a
full-time basis, or just on
weekends, or should they “be” at
all? The discussion also included
the roles that the faculty might
take in dormitory housing. The
members were interested in
student and faculty ideas
pertaining to a faculty member
living in the dorms so that
living/learning could be beneficial
in closing the gap-social and
intellectual—between students and
faculty.
The Committee wishes that
each student and faculty member
view this initial question
conscientiously and discuss and
exchange ideas, wishes and
desires. The aim of the committee
is to create an atmosphere in the
dorms that will be consistent with
the “living/learning” idea. The
source of that atmosphere can
only be found in the expressions
of students and faculty members.
The members of the Advisory
Committee stated that they would
be open to any discussion of ideas
expressed by faculty and student
alike. Before the next meeting on
Thursday, December 12, the
committee members hope to have
talked to many members of the
University concerning various
concepts that will be instrumental
in operating the UNC-C dorms.
In keeping with the
“Living/Learning” idea of
University Dormitories, the
Committee wishes to avoid, unless
otherwise strictly expressed by a
majority of students and faculty,
the traditional, stereotyped
dormitory. UNC-C has been a
young university emplcmenting so
many new ideas during its growth,
expresses the Committee, and it
would like to perhaps make
resident living at UNC-C
something other than traditional.
The Committee has done much
research into projects conducted
on other campuses across the
nation. In their files are literature
on living and learning at North
Carolina State University, the
development of residential
colleges at Chapel Hill, projects at
the University of Michigan, and
Justin Morrill College at Michigan
State University, for example.
You are requested by the
members of the Student Housing
Advisory Committee to speak to
your fellow students, your faculty
and administrators, and to the
members of the Committee itself
so that dormitory living at UNG-G
can best complement learning.
