Everybodys Talking
About It
Spring has arrived on campus bringing with it a long awaited Bell
Tower and a series of interesting events. The completion of the
3100,000.00 dollar structure is a major step toward the completion of
the university master plan.
Whose idea it was to have a bell tower in the first place I don't
know. But I do know it has produced more campus comments than the
safe return of the Apollo 13 astronaunts.
It has been almost a year since the original construction began on the
tubular designed tower which will bear the name Belk Bell Tower.
Surprisingly enough the comments have never ceased. Many people
use to say, "When are they going to finish it; and what is it going to
look like?" Now they say, "Why do we need it; and couldn't we spend
the money for something else?"
One student even went so far as to say that the money could have
been used for 100 thousand dollar scholarships. He MAY have a good
point.
Other interesting comments include: "Crush the infamous thing!!!
"Install a ladder and let the campus snipers use it until the library is
finished!!! Fill it up with water and see if it sinks." One student who
was apparently a capitalist suggested that we have a lottery and give
each student a ticket with a day of the year on it. The winner would be'
the person holding the ticket with the date the tower falls. I think the
best idea was expressed by the person who said, "sell it to Central
Piedmont."
These comments are significant in that they reflect a definite
negative attitude of the student body towards the structure.
The students just can't find any relevance in a tubular structure
shooting 150 foot in the air. They simply don't get the message. It if is
excellence we are striving for, couldn't we do it in a more significant
manner?
This is not to say that we aren't grateful for Mr. Belk's generous gift.
It does mean, however, that the students want more for Mr. Belk's
money.
I personally liked the old bell, but someone told me it was replaced
because it doesn't know any songs like the new one does.
Naturally it is normal for the fourth and most rapidly growing
branch of the greater university to have its own source of tradition, but
is this really the answer?
About that panty raid I missed...
We experienced another first when the Moore Hall ingenuity failed at
its first attempt to pull off a panty raid. After almost nine months, the
Moore men reacted to what the Sanford ladies had wanted for some
time. After a slow start and the arrival of Mr. Simmons and the campus
security guards, lead by none other than Officer Lambert, the men did
receive showers of water, cookies and panties.
The aftermath saw a number of pseudo-transvestites running around
in Moore Hall. Maybe that's the reason the raid failed.
...and other goings-on.
I also noticed at least four sad people this week, as a bulldozer
totally demolished their favorite late night spot. The former "Mud Hole
Bar and Grill", where these people used to drop in at late hours is gone
now, how will we ever replace it?
A special salute this week to Suite 300-306 Sanford Hall for their
efforts above and beyond the call of duty. It seems that last Monday
evening they were invaded by a somewhat inebriated fraternity
president. In the midst of a heavy attack on their floor, water fountain,
and walls, it was learned that they had things well in hand.
Taking last week's events into account, it makes one wonder what
will happen to surpass it this week. ONe thing that happened last week
won’t be surpassed for a long time in the bell tower. Even that
fraternity president can't get that high. As for the rest of what
happened, well girls, look out for those Moore guys, they will try again.
I'm sure.

Constitution
Ready For
Students’
Review
By Peggy Caldwell
Jolin I ralK■i^ ;l

UNt-fTO
A final draft of the Proposed University
Constitution is ready for distribution to all
members of UNCC.
The document was prepared by the drafting
subcommittee of the Committee on University
Governance. Chairman of the Committee is Dr.
Newton Barnette.
The Committee revised the original draft of
the Constitution as a result of several
suggestions for modifications made at recent
hearings on the document. The Committee
approved fourteen substantive changes and two
typographical errors.
One revision of the document effects the
requirement of a two-thirds majority vote by
both faculty and students for ratification of the
Constitution. The same majority vote is
required for amendments of the document.
Dates for voting will be announced by the
Chancellor.
Another suggested modification provides for
a procedure to gain representation in the
University Senate for non-academic staffs and
new organizations. To obtain representation, a
group must present a petition, from the
majority of the group, for approval by the
Senate and the Chancellor.
Also in the document is a provision for the
inclusion in the Senate of representatives from
the organizational units of the Library and
Student Affairs in the Senators from the Major
Academic Units.
The new draft provides for cross-nomination
of faculty Senator candiates by students and of
student candidates by faculty. Other provisions
have been made to fill Senate vacancies by
means of special elections.
As stated in the new Constitution, all
meetings of the University Senate will be open
to all interested UNCC citizens. Minutes of
Senate meetings will be published regularly.
The announcement of voting dates for the
Constitution will appear in the JOURNAL.
Citizens of the University may pick up copies
of the new document at the University Union,
in the library, or in the offices of the divisional
chairmen.

Trustees Here
April 30
The Visiting Committee of the Board of
Trustees will visit here April 30-May 1.
The purpose of the Committee is to note the
adequacy of financial support from all sources,
the adequacy of buildings and equipment, the
needs and welfare of students and faculty
members, the instructional program, and the
athletic program, etc.
This visit provides an opportunity for
individual students or groups of students to
appear before the Committee to disscuss
matters of concern.
According to Chancellor Colvard, "This is
where the line of communication between the
campus and the Board of Trustees is most
direct."
He added that the students will be entirely
free to say whatever they feel; there will be no
censoring or interfering by anyone.
Any student or student group desiring a
hearing before the Committee should submit a
written request to Dr. Douglas Orr, Assistant to
the Chancellor. Dr. Orr will coordinate
arrangements with the Committee and will try
to include as many students as time permits.
Chairman of the full committee is Mr. W. C.
Harris, Jr. Mr. Addison H. Reese heads the
subcommittee for the Charlotte campus.
Mr. John Prevost, Mrs. Nancy Copeland, Mr.
Vistor Bryant, Mr. Irwin Belk, and Mr. James
Green are among the approximate nine Trustees
to visit UNCC.
