Speaking
of
Awards
The Southeastern College
Newspaper Competition has
awarded the Journal with an
honorable mention In the Best
Feature Writing category.
The winner in the category was
the Vanderbilt Hustler; besides
the Journal, an honorable
rnention was awarded to The
Beacon of the University of
Tennessee.
The Charleston Gazette, in
presenting the award to the
Journal, said:
"The innovative approach of
this staff makes the Journal more
magazine than newspaper. The
guileless disorganization of
material is relaxed, witty, and
frequently quite effective. The
writing often sparkles to the point
where a 'nothing done' report
becomes enjoyable reading.
Despite the soft sell, the Journal
reveals the staff's high-minded
approach to campus and national
problems as they affect the
individual."
No one from the Journal was
able to attend the awards banquet
at Hollins College, Virginia, but
the award was mailed and awaits
its frame and honored place in the
Journal office.
Clean
Air
Rally
Your own private automobile
might be able to compete in the
third annual Southeastern Clean
Air Vehicle Road Rally April 28
at the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte.
In the past two rallies, the
emphasis has been on exotic
entries, such as steam and electric
powered cars. The electrics and
steamers will be back along with a
fly-wheel hybrid, but a street car
has a chance to win.
A car to compete successfully
in the rally must be able to meet
the Environmental Protection
Agency's standards for 1974-75
on emission controls.
However, Dr. Don Davis of
UNCC's College of Engineering
said, "Ten percent of the vehicles
on the road now could meet the
standards if properly tuned and
maintained. This is a public
awareness activity. We will have
counselors on hand so that
spectators can find out what they
can do to have their own cars
meet emission control standards."
Entries expected include four
electrics, one steamer, some
propane-propelled vehicles, and
some rotary engines.
"We hope to get one of the
new pedicars," Dr. Davis said.
Competing automobiles will be
tested for emissions from 10 a.m.
to 12:30 p.m. The rally itself will
begin at 1 p.m It will begin with a
slalom and end with a 20-mile
road section. Average speed will
be 22 miles per hour.
Non-mechanical-powered vehicles
(bikes) will have a six-mile course
and will have to average 12 miles
per hour.
Sponsors of the rally are the
UNCC college of Engineering and
the Engineer's Club, the Triangle
Tuberculosis and Respiratory
Disease Association, the Sun
Electric Corp., the 49er Sports
Car Club of UNCC and
photographer James Neinast.
The event is free to entrants
and to spectators.
