Three men have filed as

Arthur Gary Killian, a junior
history major, sees student
power as a major concern to
students and consequently, an
important issue in the campaign.
“By student power. I mean
students need to be in the

Campus Political Parties
Hold Their Conventions
The University Party
Due to the absence of David
Guy, party Chairman, the
University Party of UNC-C
voted Wednesday, March 26, not
to submit a slate of nominees
for Student Legislature elections.
With only a few members
present. Tiff Shelton, acting
chairman, called the caucus to
order in the back of the Union
for the express purpose of
nominating members to run for
legislative positions.
Bud Stewart and Gary Killian
received recognition as possible

♦candidates for president. R. T.
Smith, who acted in proxy,
outlined Mr. Stewarfs platform.
Afterwards, Mr. Killian stated
his viewpoints.
Both platforms centered
around dormitories, restructure
of the Constitution, and a “new
campus life.”
After a great deal of lively
discussion, members agreed not
to present a slate of candidates
since the absence of Mr. Guy
had left the party rather
unorganized.
The Student Party
The Student Party caucaused
Wednesday at 12:00 to
nominate candidates for the
spring elections. Nominated for
the SGA elections were Mr. Bud
Stewart for President and Mr.
Alan Hickok for Vice
President. They were both
nominated by acclimation by
the approximately forty students
who attended.
There was some debate as to
whether or not the party should
nominate candidates for the
class elections this early. The
party voted to go ahead and
nominate people for these
positions. They are as follows:

Easter Sunrise Service
At the Amphitheater
After lying dormant all fall
and winter, the UNC-C
Amphitheatre will be the scene
of the celebration of the
Resurrection with its own
resurrection on Easter Sunday
morning according to Eric
Underwood, BSU president.
of the dorm life into what has
been a commuter school. This
will involve several things in
itself." Mr. Stewart continues.
‘‘Housing regulatio[is. parking
regulations, dorm activities and
related factors are a few of the
problems concerning dorms."
A change he would like to
see In the University complex as
a whole is the separation and
equalization of the flnivcrsity
Union, Student Legislature, and
Publications Board.
Mr. Stewart, a Student Party
candidate, is planning to work
for the conversion of the
university lot at Uike Norman
into a slmL-nt-faculty recreation
area. He also would like to see
the student activity fee
increased and the money given
to the llnion Programming so
that m ore and b e t t c r
entertaimnent can be offered.
Because Mr. Guy has the
roster of party members and the
list of voting members, the
party has no way of establishing
a proper election. And as R. T.
Smith commented, “It is unwise
to go into this thing
unorganized.”
Instead, the University Party
plans to meet again Wednesday,
April 2 at 12:00 to discuss the
possibility of endorsing a
candidate.
All party members are
strongly urged to attend!

experience at several other
universities while in the Air
Force offers him a broad basis
of knowledge and he promises
to “make UNC-C student
government WORK."
Mr. Killian is presently a
representative of the junior class
and he says he has worked “to
keep the administration from
extending it’s bureaucratic
nature into student life.”
Other concerns of Mr.
Killian’s include changes in
registration, forced regimentation
by the administration, and
interference of tiie security
police in student aflairs.
He feels especially strongly
about tlie lack of parking
facilities on campus and about
privileges denied in tlie carpeted
area of tlie Student Union.
1-. N. Stewart, a junior
phiiosophy major, sees next
year as a time of cliange and
hopefully, of progress. Of major
concern to him is tlie opening
of the dormitories in the fall.
“There are several things
which must be done next year.
One of tliese is tlie integration
