page two/the journal/july 3, 1973 Summer Legislature Operative The Student Legislature held its first meeting of the summer on Sunday, June 10. 1973 and, unlike several other campus organizations operating this summer, got directly under way. As is proper In legitimate governmental bodies such as this, run instinctively by Robert Rules of Order, the president's report was voiced prior to all others. Mr. Butterfield, the new student body president, announced that a secretary, Mrs. Betty Taylor, had been hired, and that filing cabinets for the Student Government Association (SGA) offices had been ordered before any legislative approval could be granted. Also, Mr. Butterfield stated that the Student Media Board (SMB) was not operating at full capacity as no students filed for the at large positions of the SMB in the spring elections. Later in the week Mr. Butterfield appointed Bill Frye, Mary McNeill, and Ed Ridgell to fill three of the four open positions subject to the approval of legislature. Mr. Butterfield is also working towards the activation of the Committee for Human Sexuality and the chartering of the Peer Counseling service and the Volunteer Bureau under the Committee. The vice president's report consisted of general announcements among them that the legislature will meet again this summer on Sunday, July 15, 1973 at 3:00 p.m. in 209-210 of the Cone University Center. All meetings of the SGA are open to interested students. The committee reports followed, leading with the Ways and Means Committee report. Ms. Sigmon, chairperson of Ways and Means, submitted that tha committee was checking into the reasoning behind the common library practice of discarding old catalogs and the inefficiency of the campus mail system. Also, the committee is presently involved in ’ researching the possibilities of placing basketball goals in the parking lots, and refreshment machines in the dorms. She also reported that Dorms '72 and '73 would not be named, or renamed, until someone granted a large amount of money to the school or until someone important to the University died. The Rules Committee had no report to present, so the Judicial Committee began their report. The committee, from their April 27 meeting, reportedly accepted the constitution of Sanford Hall and was now presenting it to legislature for approval. The motion to accept was tabled until the July 15 meeting of legislature. Being investigated by the committee are the possibilities of forming and election code sub-committee, granting a secondary charter for the Divine Light Mission of UNCC, creation of a chartering pact, and the re-chartering act. The Finance Committee, chaired by Ms. Debbie Maynard, had no written report to submit, and the verbal report was not accepted. The only old business discussed was a motion by Ms. Jane Sigmon and Mr. Jeff Mitchell to allocate $288 to purchase filing cabinets for the SGA offices, which have already been paid for as stated in the president's report. The motion was tabled. The new business portion of the meeting consisted of the introductionof no less than twelve motions and ensuing discussions. Ten of the twelve passed, the final •m. aldridge — two being tabled for further discussion. Several of the motions had little to do with anything outside the legislature and involved such things as appointments to various legislative committees and filing a formal protest to campus security for the cutback in dorm security to the investigation of providing a new gavel for the Vice President, his being broken. In other action, the legislature moved to reconsider an earlier motion to allot funds for filing cabinets, the motion eventually passed, providing for the purchase. The legislature also alloted $995 for campus activities for the summer, disregarding the intentions of previous legislative bodies to leave activities and entertainment policies to the discretion of the Student Union Board. Following the activities grant, the legilature accepted a substitute motion and granted the Black Student Union (BSU) $475 for black orientation in the fall. Motion #10, loaning the Carolina Journal $1500 passed with stipulations. The motion included stipulations that the money was a loan, not a grant, to be paid back within two years and that the Journal should present to legislature a more efficient means for collecting advertising revenue. The Journal's debt was incurred because of poor revenue collection methods and an inflated printing budget. The final motion of the meeting was one allocating five hundred dollars for the purchase of chairs for committee chairmen at $125 each. This motion was tabled for further study by the Finance Committee. With this the meeting adjourned. cm^rs, Tcfivies. m (mues iHT/Cf rue miY fyii^ of ms mness eRun wfTii m ere * rmmvhYWR ' WAS AfACm . .

Many times students will attend an institution simple because it is the thing to do or because a parent attended there. Students at UNCC are here because they want to be and that lends itself to a great deal more maturity and seriousness in respect to education and make this insitution somewhat different than others. This factor has changed very little over the years. Students today seem to be slightly more involved with their environment, in the University community, than in previous years. This leads to activism and further student involvement in the affairs of the University and is the key reason for the seperation between the student government and the administration. Few campuses have the freedom in their own affairs as the students at UNCC have attained. The future of UNCC as projected by the officialdom of the administration is fairly bright and ever-improving. This seems a little over optimistic, but the future indeed' holds great things, most all of it due to the original efforts of Miss Cone. “What we’ve done up this point, it seems to me, is that we’ve built a base from which we can really build an (jutstanding university... a university of true quality.
