The following is an interview with Richard V. Lee, Jr.,
who is the newly elected president of the freshman class.
Questions were asked by Larry A. Marshall.
Question: Why did you decide to run for president ot
the freshman class? _ . , , .
Answer; 1 wanted to be more than just involved m a
“new era.” 1 wanted to feel as if I had some part in shaping
the future of this campus as well as the freshman class.
Question; Where are you from, Rick, and why did you
decide to come to school at UNC-C?
Answer: 1 am from Charlotte and graduated from Myers
Park in 1969. I came to UNC-C because it has the greatest
potential of any school in the country. Here we aren t
bound by tradition and because of that, we can make this
school into what we want it to be.
Question: Now that you have been elected, what do you
plan to do?
Answer; My campaign was based on representation for
the freshman class. Consequently, I feel that the students
should have some voice in the affairs that control their
future. Therefore, I will see to it that questionnaires will be
distributed among the students in regard to what they want
most for their class. There should be outside, lighted
basketball and tennis courts, and we need juke boxes in the
recreation areas of the dorms.
Question: Do you have any fund-raising ideas?
Answer: Yes, the freshman class could sell booster tags
3nd pompoms as well as sponsor transportation to
basketball games. Also, we can take the responsibility of
having programs printed and sold.
Question: There seems to be a general apathy among
students on campus. How do you feel about this?
Answer: 1 was very much surprised when I came here to
discover how little the students cared about the school. I
hope that by involvement of the freshman class in ^hool
activities, this trend will change. With a school of this size,
h is of the utmost importance that everyone become
involved. Otherwise, the operation and control of the
school will fall into the hands of a few students that belong
to an elite minority. The average student will loose his
identity if we allow this to happen.
1 have ideas for helping the class which will aid their
enjoyment of college. 1 am only one person, however, so I
can only do just so much.
Question; Do you have any projects in mind for the
freshman class?
Answer 1 would like to have a freshman class day on
some Saturday during the spring. I would also like to urge
the freshmen to support the United Appeal on November 5.
Later perhaps, we can with support, organize some type ot
campus clean-up. _
Question; What about social life on
l^shman class constitutes over one fourth ot UNU-L.
Therefore, it should, with correct leadership, be able to
change a lot of things. . ,,
Answer; 1 believe that afternoon activities are ol me
essence. In order for us to have night activities, we must
have money and there is just not enough to go around.
There are enougli places to go and enough things do in
Charlotte to offset most night activities that we could plan
here without a lot of financial backing. We should,
however, utilize the facilities that we have to a greater
extent. For example, T think that there should be boaUng
on Swan Lake as well as benches and tables for picnics. The
game room should be left open on weekends and the
recreation facilities planned for the dormitories should be
completed immediately. The intramural program should be
expanded to include weekends. , , •.
I will give 100% of myself to the school, but 1 can t do it
one. 1 need the support of my fellow students.

Food Service Committee
formed to take complaints
By Greg Morris
On October 14, at the suggestion
of Chancellor Colvard, a Food
Service Committee was set up to
handle the numerous complaints
that have been made about Saga
Food Company. Dr. Schley R.
Lyons, head of the Politic^ Science
Department, was appointed as
acting chairman of this committee.
The first meeting of the Food
Service Committee took place on
October 17 at which time it was
decided that the function of this
committee would be two-fold.
These two functions would involve
communication and investigation.
Dr. Lyons stated that the
communicative function would
involve developing^ lists of
grievances and suggestions of the
commuting students and the
residents in relation to food service
problems. Grievances would be
investigated to determine their
validity and whether they are
amendable to change.
There will be an open heanng of
the complaints of students and
faculty on November 10 between
11:30 and 1:00 in the Union. All
students, faculty, and staff are
invited to attend this meeting.
Anyone having a problem on which
he would like to see action taken
before the hearing, need not wait
but can communicate his difficulty
by means of suggestion ^ boxes
which are now located in the
cafeteria. One of these is for
commuting students, the other is
for resident students.
Informal communication can be
made with members of the
committee during the designated
times listed below(Dr. Lyons on

meetings.
Most of grievances heard by the
committee. The Carolina Journal,
etc. have been related to personal
preference rather than food service.
Most legitimate gripes such as
having to eat with dirty silverware
and better placing of waste cans to
cut down on trash left on the tables
the main concern of the

committee. However, '‘the
committee is investigating
complaints on the price and quality
of the food, the length of time the
dorm students spend waiting in
line, and the lengthening of
breakfast hours to accomadate
those students who have late
morning classes.
