A thanks
To the Editor:
Within the next two weeks, the
Orientation Commission will be
conducting a survey to evaluate
the activities and purposes of
Orientation 1971. There will be
surveys available at the University
Center Information Desk and in
the dormitory mailboxes. In order
to really improve the program for
next year, we must get an honest
response to these forms. We hope
each student will take the time to
fill out an evaluation (they’re
simple). No names necessary, so
you can be as honest as you
choose. That’s what we want.
Also, I would like to take this
opportunity to thank everyone
who helped me so much with
Orientation this past year. My
Orientation Counselors (OC’s)
were just great; with only a few
exceptions, they all worked
themselves ragged. I would
especially like to formally
recognize Karen Dorman, Kristi
Harl, and Dot Conley who, as far
as I am concerned, were much
more responsible for the good
part of Orientation than I was.
What a crew!
And thanks above all to the
new students who co-operated so
fantastically. If the program
worked, it was only because they
made it work.
Happy year to all, and thanks.
program will support full-time
graduate study for up to five years
contingent upon the Fellow’s
satisfactory progress toward the
Ph.D. Eligibility requirements and
further information may be found
on the enclosed announcements.
We would appreciate your
announcing these programs in
your newspaper so that we may
inform the seniors at your
institution about the available
fellowships and encourage all
eligible seniors to apply.
Instructions and application
forms may be obtained from The
Ford Foundation, 320 East 43rd
Street, New York, New York

programs must be completed by
January 10, 1972.
We will be happy to provide
additional information upon

Security plus
To the Editor:
On Tuesday, September 14,
1971 at approximately 8:30 in
the evening. Officer Miller of the
Campus Security Department
observed suspicious activity in the
D parking lot. While attempting to
identify the suspect, a tapeplayer
and tools were noted in his car.
Further investigation indicated
the suspect had apparently broken
into a student’s car and stolen the
player. The student was contacted
and identified the player as taken
from his car. Subsequent search of
the suspect’s car uncovered an
additional tapeplayer, which
remains unidentified. The suspect,
a 17-year-old non-UNCC student,
was arrested for “larceny from a
vehicle,” and trial is pending.
The D lot, because of its
remote location, heavy itinerant
traffic, and proximity to Route
49, provides a fertile source for
such larceny. The Security
Department is aware of this
vulnerability and provides it
maximum coverage, consistent
with limited manpower
availability. It is hoped that this
arrest will provide some relief
from the thefts in the lot (appx
one. night per month at least one
car is entered.).
To further curtail this loss,
your assistance is solicited in the
following areas:
Report all suspicious activity in
the lot to Campus Operator (after
midnight, dial Ext. 493).
Record license number if possible.
Do not store tapes or
containers in plain view.
Record serial number of
tapeplayers to assist in
identification.
If no serial number, visibly and
permanently mark player, tapes,
and containers.
Ensure sturdy mounting,
located under seat if possible. If
removeable, store player in trunk.
Ensure car is locked when
parked.
Jerry E. Hudson,
Security Director
Chancellor Colvard, in an
interview last week, said that most
of the recommendations made by
the study committee of the
Southern Association of Colleges
were things “that we’re working
on already.”
The 15-man committee,
chaired by Dr. Archie Dykes of
the University of Tennesee, met
here Sept. 20-22 to study the
facets of the University and to
plan general recommendations to
guide its growth.
Areas of investigation included
the purpose of the institution,
organization and administration,
the the educational program,
financial resources, faculty,
library resources, student services,
physical plant, special activities,
graduate programs, and research
projects.
Colvard said the committee
made a brief oral report prior to
their leaving the campus.
“There is no reason to expect
any problem on accreditation,”
said Colvard.
He said the Association found
the purposes of the University to
be clear and that they were
particularly interested in the new
University Senate, noting that it
was and ‘‘innovative
development” and functioned to
bring students and faculty closer
to the workings of the institution.
The committee did recommend
a more effective budgeting system
with departmental budgets, said
Colvard, but he added that plans
for this action were already
underway.
When asked about specific
recommendations regarding
departments and students,
Colvard said, “I couldn’t begin to
recall them. ”
He said that the oral report was
rather sketchy and that he would
receive the final written report in
a few weeks.
Another program
recommended by the study was
the establishment of a
Development Officer to obtain
outside gifts. Colvard said that the
adminsitration is putting this into
effect rignt now.
■by Charlie peek
Special commendations by the
committee included favorable
response to the physical plant of
the University. The committee
liked the consistent contemporary
style of the buildings, said
Colvard.
They also were impressed with
the qualifications and academic
preparation of the faculty.
Of special commendation
was the work of the College of
Human Development and
Learning, and the growth of the
University Computer Center.
The committee examined the
Institute for Urban Studies and
noted that its creation was
consistent with the general
purposes of the University. They
were particularly interested in the
Internship program, said the
Chancellor.
Colvard said that the
committee did mention the state
budget system noting that the line
budget approach was perhaps to
rigid for maximum efficiency.
When asked about priorities for
UNCC in the near future, Colvard
said that they would have to be
divided into three or four
catagories.
“We’re expecting to put a great
deal of emphasis on landscaping
and we hope to get the Earth-Life
Science building underway before
the next legislature meets,” he
said.
He said they were also
anxious to get a large classroom,
office building and the new
dormitory underway.
On the academic scale, Colvard
said he was working on an
improvement of the
student-teacher ratio and 4
strengthening of the new
programs, mentioning Art and
Music as specifics.
He also said that work was
being done on getting the budgets
more operative.
Commenting on the
Accreditation Program as a whole)
Colvard stated, “It is always good
to have somebody look at yon
and to be able to see yourself as
others see you.”
Saga answers petition
by dianne woodard
John Kugler, head of Saga, has
responded to the petitioned
complaints of the resident
students. He commented on each
of the six grievances.
(1) Both service lines be open
during breakfast: Kugler replied
that both service lines were not
always needed. “More people are
skipping breakfast each week,” he
said. “Two lines are not needed
on Tuesday or Thursday.” On
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
the Food Service keeps a close eye
on the length of the line. When
the line becomes too long, a
second line is opened.
(2) Steps be taken to speed up
the service lines: Kugler explained
that not a great deal could be
done concerning faster service.
When all the students show up at
the cafeteria door at once.
someone must wait. Beverage
machines are a main reason for
slow service. Each student must
stop, get several glasses, fill them
with ice and then with something
to drink.
(3) Supper be served from 4:30
to 6:30: The day prior to the
petition a questionaire was sent
out asking students what hours
they preferred supper being held.
There was only 50% response.
There was no majority for any
time so 4:30 to 6:15 were chosen
as super hours. People in special
sports are being fed earlier. This
has solved most of the problem.
