NUMBER 4
Dean vetoes
resolution
by hank nelson
In the middle of the present
controversy over the visitation
rules for Sanford Hall is the Dean
of Students, Donald MacKay. The
most recent question to come up
is the procedure for the admission
of men to the upper floor lounges
of Sanford Hall. Last year it was
decided that any and all men
could visit the lounges in the
women’s dorm at any time. This
rule was changed this year to read
that all men had to call one
specific girl from the lobby before
going upstairs. Last week the
student legislature passed a
resolution which would permit
men to visit the lounges only if
they presented a student ID card
to the hostess on duty at the desk.
Tliis resolution was rejected by
Dean MacKay.
Dean MacKay explained to this
reported the background and
future of these actions. Dean
MacKay pointed out that at the
end of last year “many” girls
came to him complaining about
the lack of privacy in the dorms.
He said that the girls did not like
being coerced into a date, and
that they considered the lounge
their living room. He stated that
they did not want the lounge
open indiscriminately to men and
that they wanted to control their
own lounges. He said that though
We had trouble with outsiders, we
also had trouble with our own
students. Dean MacKay stated,
“The regulations are not so
terrible that the guys can’t live
with them.” He did say that the
regulations are subject to change
and if the women want the rules

traffic rules
by Claudia finkenaur
Contrary to popular belief,
Lean McKay, is not required to
revoke a student’s driving
Priviledges after three violations.
According to newly revised
rules, Dean McKay may use his
own discretion in the revocation
of car decals. He may, if he feels it
necessary, suspend a student’s
Priviledge of driving on campus
from one day to twelve months.
A student may appeal the
decision througlt Mr. Vauglin,
‘We’re willing to listen,” stated
Mr. Vaughn.
This past summer, the
‘Regulations Governing Traffic,
Parking, and the Registration of
Motor Vehicles” were revised to
nieet state law. Following this, the
student legislature adopted a
nrotion protesting the three
''■olation rule. Mr. Vauglm
advised, “I don’t think we’re
Unreasonable...we must follow
Ihese regulations or this will be an
"the faceless child, the
now student of this
University ” (See
editorial, page 2)
changed to agree with the student
legislature’s resolution then they
would be changed, but that it
would be up to the girls to change
the rules, not the student
legislature. He noted that the girls
must approve the change
“overwhelmingly”, he would not
say what type of majority would
indicate “overwhelming”
approval. He stated that though a
petition of some sort is a good
way to test student opinion that
“a ’petition doesn’t bear as much
weight as a mass meeting.
Anybody will sign a petition.”
It was decided that a petition
would be a good way to decide
the issue at hand, so a petition
was drawn up for the women in
Sanford Hall to sign. The petition
is worded the same as the student
government resolution, and was
circulated last Wesnesday night.
Mr. Stan Patterson, originator
of the student government
resolution, agrees that the rules
last year were wrong because they
allowed outsiders to come in, but
he believes that the rules now in
existence are unfair to the
students at UNCC. It is felt that
these new rules “tend to isolate
the Sanford Dormitory students
from all others and polarize even
further commuters from dorm
students, handicapping the social
life of many which is a large part
of campus life.” At the conclusion
of the interview, Mr. Patterson
stated, “if the girls want this rule
changed they must sign the
petition. If they do this I am
certain that the administration
will heed their wishes.”

inconvenience to others.” He also
stressed that he was not at liberty
to make changes in the traffic
rules. Consideration, however, will
be given to suggestions by
students if they bring them up
tlirough the committee.
All changes, no matter how
minor, must pass through the
committee and be presented to
the 100 member Board of
Trustees for approval.
Very few appeals have been
made in the past.
The 60 parking meters located
on campus, 36 in the main lot and
24 in the secondary lot have been
put in instead of having a special
visitor’s area.
The meters are intended for
use by part-time personnel,
students using unregistered
vehicles, and persons using
campus facilities.
Anyone using these spaces must
put money in the meter, whether
or not their car has a decal.

campaign
by susan sutton
Want to work for your favorite
candidate in November?
The political science
department is holding a seminar
to tell you how on Monday,
October 19.
Louise S. Brennan and Henry
Wilmer, county chairmen of the
Democratic and Republican
parties, respectively, will present
the ‘‘nuts and bolts” of
politicing in their presentation
“Campaign 1970: Students in
Politics.”
Joined by candidates for gov’t
positions, Mrs. Brennan and
Wilmer will offer “not a
theoretical, but a candid
explanation of a campaign,”
according to political science
department chairman Schley
Lyons.
The program was proposed by
Chancellor Colvard and is
designed to let students know
what they can do.
Dr. Lyons said that although
the presentation is out of the
ordinary it offers a lesson in
educational politics. “Electoral
politics might be glamourized by
rhetoric. The party chairmen are
going to be talking about
realities.”
Following the talks, coffee will
be served to the students and
candidates during a question and
answer period.
The Parquet Room is the place;
10:30 Monday, Oct. 19 is the
time. And remember, the drinks
are free.

It was meeting day in U209 as
the Legislature assembled for an
exhausting but productive session.
Junior Representative Ed
Wayson introduced a resolution
which was passed by the October
5 assembly. It calls for support of
the non-violent actions planned
for October 15, the day of the
National Strike for Peace.
Plans for the day include a
peace march through downtown
Charlotte from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.,
and speeches and peaceful
demonstrations on campus
throughout the day, protesting
the war in Indo-China.
Wayson’s second resolution,
also passed, advocates that classes
be made optional, in compliance
with the individual professors,
from October 22 until November
4, in order that students may
‘‘legally express themselves
through peaceful political
activity” in campaigning and
working in other ways for their
desired parties and candidates.
The Legislature also approved
immediate action on the
installment of bathroom doors in
Moore Hall.
PPU
sues
Chancellor D. W. Colvard and
the University are being sued. On
behalf of the Progressive Political
Union. Ed Wayson and Steve Wo-
darski are filling suit charging
darski are filling suit charging
UNCC and Colvard with violation
of their constitutional rights.
The crux of the matter evolves
around Recognition E^ay prepara
tions. Several posters were taken
up from the sidewalk leading to
the University Center.- Among
them was the PPU poster calling
for a boycott of classes on Oct
ober 15. This is not to say that
the Chancellor was singling out
the PPU, according to Ken San
ford, UNCC public relations of
ficial, since several other posters
were also taken up.
The PPU poster was placed by
Dean McKay on a tripod in front
of the information desk in the
Center. Several hours later it was
removed once more with instruc
tions, according to Wayson, that
it not be posted again before Mon
day, October 12.
It is Wayson’s belief that the
Chancellor removed the sign so as
to create a better impression
among the Friends of the Univ
ersity, who were on campus for
lunch.
Therefore, Wayson and Wo-
darski charged that their freedom
of speech has been violated.
