Gantt
To The Editor:
Last year when Tom Alsop ran
for the Editorship of the Rogues
'n Rascals he had my fullest
support ■ he was the only one
running. Since that time Mr.
Alsop and I have been somewhat
estranged. Working with him on
the Student Media Board has
really been a pain in the ass. I
found him to be irrational, short
sighted and stubborn. This is not
to imply anything against Mr.
Alsop personally - he very well
may be a fine person. It's just that
in his role as the annual editor, in
my opinion, he leaves very much
to be desired.
But ultimately an editor must
be judged on the product he
produces. While no one has seen
anything Mr. Alsop has produced-
a yearbook by its very nature
precludes this - it is my opinion
that the yearbook Mr. Alsop will
produce will be little better than
previous books this school has
seen.
Fortunately there is another
candidate who shows greater
promise: Richard Gantt. If there
is any one person who can give
UNCC an artistic, competent
yearbook it is Richard Gantt. Why
don't you vote for him, April 11
and 12?

Yates
To The Editor:
Well, the first elections didn't
count, so here I am again.
However, this time 1 have
something different to say. During
my three years working on WVFN
radio my major concern has been
the welfare of the station, in
hopes that it would be a true
service to the students of UNCC.
On April 11 and 12, you, the
students, will have the
opportunity to elect the next
station manager of WVFN. I hope
you will exercise your right to
vote and cast your vote for Jim
Yates. The reason I'm asking you
to do this is in light of the
previous election where Jim
showed an impressive margin of
votes and campus support. Since
that time Jim has moved right in
toward preparing for next year's
FM.
I will continue working with
WVFN and Jim as Music Director,
and with the possibility of FM
looming in the future my job
becomes twice as important. Also
at this time I wish to thank all
those who did support me in the
previous elections and stay tuned
to WVFN with bigger and better
things to come for you.
Sincerely
Chuck Gross
Yearbook
To The Editor:
April 11 and 12 begins the
second attempt at electing a 1974
ROGUES 'N RASCALS yearbook
editor. The two contestants in this
election are Richard Gantt, a BCA
major, and Tom Alsop, another
BCA major. This letter deals with
the latter.
As you know, the March 21-22
election was nullified because
someone voted more than 30
times therefore making it much
more of a hassle to get you to go
to the booths again and vote for
your favorite candidate -—if you
have one.
I am Tom Alsop, present editor
of ROGUES 'N RASCALS
yearbook. It is my feeling that I
should clear something up
immediately: just because I am
y-iarbook editor this year does not
mean that I had anything to do
with last years' yearbook, i.e. the
"hot pink" issue. That was totally
the decision of the '72 yearbook
editors and theirs alone.
Being involved in the media, I
don't know how to run a
campaign. I don't know how to
because I'm not a politician.
Furthermore, I despise a lot of the
unnecessary "monkey-politiks"
on this campus. On the other
hand, politics is a necessary
profession here: one that' brings
that balance of power to all
branches of student government.
Not being Involved too
liberally in campus politics, I
bring to mind my work on the
yearbook. This has been my major
pre-occupation for the past 10
months. Unfortunately, I have
nothing to show for my work
because the book that I am
presently gathering raw materials
on will not be distributed until
well after this April 11-12
election. Therefore, you must
make a judgement some toher
way. But how? You have no other
way to judge. (Perhaps I can be of
some help). I have been a
photographer for three years
working for the JOURNAL,
SANSKRIT as well as ROGUES
'N RASCALS. I hope that the
posters you see around campus
would indicate my ability. I am
also gathering strength in the
graphic medium of silk-skreening.
Already this year you may
have become aware of the
progress ROGUES 'N RASCALS
has made. We increased the class
section by 67% over last year;
we've increased the overall size of
the book from 272 pages to 400;
we've increased color from two
pages to 32 and furthermore,
we've improved layout and overall
design. But most important of all,
we've increased student awareness
of having a yearbook. We've taken
opinion polls, sent out various
Information about the yearbook,
produced pamphlets at
registration and have gotten the
entire university more interested
in the year book.
Taking this in mind, I hope
you will abort any bad thoughts
you have concerning past
yearbooks and look at the 1973
and 1974 ROGUES'N RASCALS
yearbook at one which you will
be, in the least, not embarassed to
receive.

To The Editor:
There are 165 courageous
people at the Dow Chemical plant
in Bay City which has been on
strike for 14 months. They would
like to enlist the aid of your
newspaper and members of the
student body so that we may
survive. Dow Chemical is using its
unlimited resources in an attempt
to destroy us economically and
eliminate the collective bargaining
process of our Local Union which
is 14055 of the United
Steel-workers.
Many workers and their
families have suffered unlimited
hardships in the loss of Income
and personal property which they
have had to sell in order to feed
their families because Dow
Chemical refuses to resolve an
unjust labor dispute provoked by
Dow Chemical and its local
management.
In the interest of humanity we
ask that you print this letter in
your college paper and that the
student body aid us by refusing to
buy Handi-wrap plastic food wrap
and Ziploc bags which are made at
the Bay City plant.
If there are individuals or
groups on campus who would like
to aid us in this humane endeavor,
please contact me at the address
which is given below. We request
that they boycott the above
mentioned products which are
produced by Dow Chemical in
Bay City and by any other aid or
activities which may aid our
cause.
Please print this letter in your
student newspaper and if possible
send me a copy.
