Elections and Publicity Board selected by Legislature
By Michael Evans
The selection of an Elections and
Publicity Board and the passage of a
Financial Procedures Act highlighted the
Student Legislature of October 21, 1975.
Tom Le indecker, Alease Long,
Robert McCain, Ervin Sims and Carrie
Walters were selected to form the
1975-76 Election and Publicity Board
from seven nominees. The vacancies on
the Board were filled in order to take the
load of election cases off of the Student
Superior Court.
The Financial Procedures Act, which
was introduced by Terry Fulbright of the
Judicial Committee, was ratified with
minor amendments. A discussion ensued
over the accountability of funds received
through outside sources to the
Legislature. The Legislature accepted the
amendment allowing these funds to be
accountable. •
The Finance Committee presented
three budgets all of which were approved.
The Student Media Board darkroom
received the sum of $2325.00 for cameras
and other equipment necessary to the
vital functions of the darkroom facility.

Winner
$530 was allotted to the Black Student
Union for the purchase of steel drums.
Sam Wilson, chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Student Legislature,
said there “was no better way to spend
money than for educational purposes and
cultural enrichment.” The final budget
was that of the American Society of Civil
Engineers for $488.
The Student Legislature Treasurer,
Nancy Brown, said the Legislature had
$12,180.59 left for allocation at the
beginning of the meeting with $2703.79
having actually, been spent to date. The
club football debt which is approximately
$6000 has not yet been paid according to
Ms. Brown, though some of the
equipment has been sold.
The Student Legislature also decided

to allow the president of the student
body to fill all positions open
immediately after the fall elections and to
keep these positions filled until the 1976
spring elections. The Legislature, a body
with seats for 30 members, has less than
20 members at the present time, and the
decision allows the president to maintain
a full body of the Legislature.
Wilson was chosen to succeed Susan
Baker as Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee. Ms. Baker had
resigned the position. Wilson defeated
David Holloway in a vote of the body for
the chair.
Two dubs were granted secondary
charters. Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and
the Bahai Club received their charters
from the Legislature at the meeting.

University may sell
Van Landingham Estate
By Brad Rich
Authorization has been given to
UNCe to sell the Van Landingham
Estate, located at 2100 The Plaza, in
Charlotte.
The estate, which includes what
UNCC’s Vice Chancellor for Academic
Development, William Britt call, “a fine
old house” and five acres of land, was
donated to UNCC in 1970 by the late
Ralph Van Landingliam, who had
envisioned the house being used as a
Cliancellor’s residence or a faculty club.
According to Britt, the house has
•‘been used reasonably well." The
grounds, which contain one of the finest
iliododendron gardens in tlie country has
been the scene of numerous weddings,
receptions and small individual academic
department conferences and retreats.
Britt said that tliougii the property is
tor sale, there are no prospective buyers
and a sale "can certainly not be termed
as imminent".
Tile reason given for the possible sale
ot tlie estate is that the house itself is a
considerable financial drain on the
University. Says Britt, “There are funds
set up to maintain the gardens, but not
.the house itself.”. He blamed the
maintenance costs on the age of the

pipes, the roof and electric cables and
fixtures.
If the property is sold, Britt stated
the money would be used for campus
landscaping and beautification, primarily
in the areas behind the new McEniry
building. He added, however, possible
uses for the estate without sale have been
considered.”
