Have a coke
The Coca-Cola Bottling
Company, recently in the news
for candidly admitting to keeping
its Florida migrant workers like
daves, has been dazzling
Coi^essmen and Federal agencies
with a highly polished lobbying
blitz aimed at selling the notion
that the public actually demanded
throwaway bottles. And believe it
or not, it’s woiking.

Construction
expands campus
by Charlie peek
While the mortar is still drying
on UNCC’s three million dollar
gymnasium, four more buildings
are being erected. In addition,
requests for sixteen new projects
totaling 20.9 million dollars are to
be presented to the North
Carolina legislature when they
convene in January.
Probably the most impressive
of the buildings now under
construction is the new library
scheduled to be completed in the
spring of 1971. Four point one
million dollars worth of steel and
concrete will house classrooms
and offices as well as a collections
room on the main floor, a meeting
room on the top floor, and a vault
for valuable books and
documents. Humidity and
Temperature control units will
keep both the books and the
librarians in comfort. The
administration eventually hopes
to offer a school for librarians
using this facility.
dollar Earth-Life Science Building
and a 3.3 million dollar Chemistry
Building will take much of the
strain,off the already overloaded
Smith Building.
All of you greenery fans will be
interested in the one hundred
thousand dollar landscaping
project. Trees, shrubs, and grass
will be planted as well as
preventive measures to keep
UNCC from washing into ^n
adjoining county. An So2,UUU
greenhouse, covering 2,000 square
feet is to be built and used to help
campus beautification.
One of the most interesting, as
well as long-awaited for, additions
will be 125,000 square feet of
apartments for our married
students. This space will
accommodate 100 students. These
apartments will eventually pay for
themselves like the dormitories.
On April 9, 1970, President
Nixon appointed 53 industrial
magnates to a National Industrial
Pollution Control Council to
“coordinate industrial input uito
solving the nation’s environmental
crises.” Montana Senator Lee
Metcalf observed that Council
members “are leaders of the
industries which contribute most
to environmental pollution, “and
cited the historic influence of
similar business advisory
committees in inhibiting pollution
clean-up. On June 15, 1970, the
President sent Congress a
proposed budget amendment for
$475,000 in salaries and expenses
to carry out NIPCC’s duties.
Miss 49er
to be chosen
Our disappearing lake may
again be full in the spring of ‘71
when the Fine Arts building is
scheduled to be ready for use.
Work has been slowed by various
strikes by construction workers.
The newly-painted dorms and
one thousand hungry students are
now being served by a new one
million dollar cafeteria. The
sickies in the dorms will also be
attended to by the Health Center
located between Sanford Hall and
the gym. This is a $400,000, one
story infirmary hopefully to be
finished by this coming January.
A full-time doctor is to be
included in the staff.
Among those projects now
waiting approval by the legislature
are two buildings reserved for the
natural sciences. A 3.8 million
Recreation fields with spectator
seating will be added to give our
athletic supporters a boost. Plans
have been made for twelve
additional lighted and fenced
hard-surfaced tennis courts, two
lighted, grass-surfaced playing
fields for softball, two fields for
touch football, and four
hard-surfaced areas for volleyball,
basketball, and the like.
But wait, there’s more.
Chancellor Colvard recently
disclosed to the Journal that, not
included in the original requests,
is a project to construct two new
dormitories of about the same size
and with the same
accommodations as the ones now
on campus. These self-liquidating
structures have x already been
authorized by the legislature and
are now subject only to final
approval by the budget
commission. Colvard stated that
“hopefully, one^ of them will be
underway soon.”
Guys get ready. The Miss 49’er
pageant is coming to town.
Sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi
the pageant will elect the luscious
lovely who will symbolize the
school spirit on the campus.

We wish to extend an
apology to all students
for the unavoidable delay
in printing the
CAROLINA JOURNAL.
DDT just has
to be essential
for something
The U. S. Department of
Agriculture’s refusal to ban the
neanderthal persistent pesticide
DDT in favor of safer chemicals or
uitegratedi controls boils down to
quibbling over the defuiition of
what constitutes an "imminent”
hazard to the public and its
repeated contention there are no
substitutes for many “essential”
uses. However, a recent phone call
to the man in charge of defending
DDT, USDA Director of Science
and Education Ned D. Bayley,
again failed to identify those
phantom “essential” uses. He
confirmed only that the
Department ... is working on
that now.”
Festival returns
Every class and organization is
asked to choose a young lady for
the pageant.
There will be four areas of
competition- talent, costume,
evening gown, and swim suit.
The entrance fee is S5 and the
pageant will be held November
18-20. There will be four judges
on the bi-racial panel.

chants of the Oaisis Shrine
Temple cahnters, and to the
singing of a Paraguaing group

Besides the stage show,

UNCC, which had an
exhibit in the Festival 2 years
ago, will not have one this
year.
A new addition to this
years Festival is the Allan
Newcomb Memorial Park
Shell, which is half-way
completed.
There will be all types of
musical groups appearing on
the stage from time to time,
including a small symphonic
Also missing from this
years festival will be the live
theatre productions by the
Drama Departments of the
Charlotte-Mecklenburg
