Black Student Union
Expands Budget, Programs
by Charlie peek

Nature’s Nightime Beauty ... Silhouetted against the moon’s
reflection m the campus lake, two unidentified lovers seem to be
held in immovable suspension.
A budget request totaling over
^ $4,000 is being submitted to the
f Student Legislature by the Black
Student Union. The money,
according to Humphrey
Cummings, presidentt of the
Union, is to be used for several
day-long observances and to bring
black lecturers to the campus.
According to the Black
Student Union, the budget is
being submitted in the belief that
1) Black people in America and
hence at UNCC are of a special
culture that has been relegated
inferior status in the total society,
2) This culture is worth
preserving, expanding, and
enhancing as a part of the total,
experience of all citizens
professing a liberal education and
3) That to the extent the Black
“sub” culture is, via education
and exposure, adjusted with, and
accepted as a part of the total
national (American) experience to
this extent is friction minimized
and cooperation and goodwill
maximized.
Over $600 in the proposed
budget is slated for a Martin
Luther King, Jr. Birthday
Observance. This event is to be
declared a “WORKING
HOLIDAY” where efforts would
revolve around working toward
solutions to the problems to
which Dr. King dedicated his life.
The Union plans to bring Rev.
George Leake and Mayor Pro Tern
Fred Alexander to speak at UNCC
on Afro-American Unity Day.
The organization also plans a
Black Liberation Week and a
Black Arts Festival featuring
speakers and plays, during the fall
and spring semesters.

Police Degree
Approved
Law enforcement officers will
now be able to get a degree in
their field at UNCC.
A pro^am in law enforcement
and police administration has
been approved by the North
Carolina Board of Education.
The Board allocated $43,980
for the program from funds
authorized by the North Carolina
General Assembly.
After two years at the
University, they can receive the
Bachelor of Science degree with a
major in law enforcement and
police administration.
Dr. Seth H. Ellis reports that
39 law enforcement officers are
already enrolled at the University
in other curricula, such as
psychology, sociology and
political science; however, since
the program has been approved,
they will be able to transfer into
the new curriculum.
601 Degrees
Granted
UNCC has increased its alumni
by about a third due to
commencement exercies held May
30 in the Charlotte Coliseum.
601 students received degrees,
of which 23 were graduate
degrees. A total of 1,106 students
have graduated since the
institution became a campus of
the University of North Carolina
in 1965.
Coming Up...
bill holder
A “living-learning” concept has
resulted in new residence hall
advisors at UNCC. Miss Maran
beam, a native of Iowa, and Dick
^ay have replaced Mrs. Jones and
^rs. Glover.
Part of the “living-learning”
philosophy is to employ fulltime
educators with at least a master’s
aegree to administer the dorms.
At Sanford Hall Miss Beam sees
Perself as “getting the kids
revolved in activities that they
"'ould like to have.”
Examples of possible activities
.Ponsored by the dorms would be
Informal lectures, discussions, or
^ovies dealing with art, poetry,
“•ygs, birth control. ...” she
said.
None of the activities
Ponsored by either dorm would
'^®9uire mandatory attendance.
The housing situation at UNCC
his fall is critical. There have
een holdups in construction of
he new dormitory while
Urollment has increased sharply.
Over forty-five hundred
udents are now enrolled at the
i^hiversity while the on-campus
ousing is still limited to a
housand. The dormitory
j .hiinistration has added new
jes and regulations to dorm life.
^ irls^ must now sign to go in the
dorm and the boys must do
® same to visit the girls’.

‘i^V^ing’ justified the new policy.

UNCC plans to increase its
residence hall space by fifty
percent.
Bids were received July 22 on a
new residence hall that would
house an additional 500 students.
Similar in concept and design to
the two existing residence halls,
the 12 floor high-rise unit is
planned for occupancy by the fall
semester of 1972.
The new dormitory will be
served by two high speed elevators

and features the same concept of
small group residential housing
incorporated into the design of
the UNCC residence halls
occupied in the fall of 1969.
Rooms will house two students,
with four rooms grouped into a
suite.
Each floor housing
approximately 50 students each
will be paired with another floor
and will be served by a central
lounge, study and typing rooms.
Individual telephone facilities are
planned for each room.
Modifications in the lower two
floors will provide for increased
student lounge areas, additional
laundry and kitchen facilities, and
separate rooms for music listening
and recreation. The building will
be fully air-conditioned.
Architect for the new facility is
Leslie N. Boney of Wilmington,
who was also the architect for the
existing residence halls. “I was
particularly well pleased with the
number of bids that were received
and that the project came well
within the cost estimates,” Boney
stated. A total of 43 separate bids
on the project were received.
Apparent low bidders were:
General Contractor, Kirkpatrick
and Associates of Greensboro;
Elevator Contractor, Otis Elevator
Company of Charlotte; Plumbing
and Heating Contractor, Dick and
Kirkman of Greensboro; and
Electrical Contractor,
Hensely-Mosley, Inc. of Charlotte.
Silas M. Vaughn, UNCC vice
chancellor for business affairs,
stated that the University has
submitted the low bids to the
State Property Control and
Construction office in Raleigh and
to the Office of Housing and
Urban Development in Atlanta for
their review and approval.
