Nixon to become part of UNCC faculty and campus
By Luann Whitley
UNCC’s political
science department will
welcome a new faculty
member next year as
Richard M. Nixon joins
the staff. The faculty
feels confident that Nix
on will do an adequate
job lecturing the
students. Nixon will
specialize in “govern
ment strategy" and will
use his own published
“Memoirs” as a tex
tbook. “By using my
own book for reference, I
feel I will be able to
make everything
perfectly clear,” Nixon
said.
The multi-talented
Nixon will lend his ser
vices to the English
department, since he is a
published author. He
will also help out in the
Learning Resources
Center. “I will mainly
work with students in
terested in audio techni
ques, such as placement
of microphones to
receive the best recep
tion and taping pro
cedures,” Nixon said.
Dick Nixon arrives at Douglas airport to. begin his
first day of classes as a UNCC professor.
The student govern
ment at UNCC has
received a request from
Nixon in which he begs
to be considered as a
faculty advisor to the
Student Legislature.
Present Student
Legislature members
refused to comment on
their decision. Nixon
also wants to make
himself available to do
lectures for the
psychology department,
particularly on the topic
of abnormal psychology.
While at UNCC, Nix
on and his wife Pat, will
reside in downtown
Charlotte at the old
Mecklenburg Hotel. The
old Hotel, originally to
be destroyed, was
recently purchased by
the Nixons. “The Hotel
will be ideal for us. Pat
and I are used to a lot of
rooms. It is in the best
location for Pat since
she likes to wander
aimlessly up and down
city streets,” Nixon
said.
Nixon had many of
fers for jobs but decided
on UNCC because he lik
ed the apathy on cam
pus. He is also excited
about living so close to
Caro winds.
The Nixons plan to
move in the Mecklen
burg Hotel during July.
The move will not take
place until the hotel is
painted white and col
umns are added.

Beginning today, students will be able to purchase
Coke at the candy counter. Four line limit please.
The UNCC Bookstore -
has devised a contest to
be held starting April
16-20. The winners of
the contest will be given
a “five minute shopping
spree” in the Bookstore
at the beginning of the
1979 fall semester. A
Bookstore spokesperson
said, “We are having the
contest in order to give
two students an oppor
tunity to get their
books, supplies and
UNCC T-shirts for
free.” Also, we feel this
is a good promotion
stunt for the Bookstore.
“The main rule for the
contest is you must be
an enrolled student for
the 1979 Fall semester
at UNCC. This
automatically will
eliminate the present
senior class from
competition,” said
spokesperson.

originality, creativity
and practicality. The
judges have been chosen
from a group of in

“Everyone is looking
forward to seeing what
kind of participation and

One catch to the con
test is that during the
“shopping spree” the
textbooks will not be
sectioned off into
departments. The win

they need. Entries fa

will be announced on

winners can grab within

limit, they can keep,
said the spokesperson.
Newspaper at top of threat list in poll
By Bill Whittaker
The UNCC Security
Office has been in
vestigating a series of
bomb threats affecting
numerous campus in
stitutions. So far only
three bombs have been
found of the 72 announc
ed threats. Jerry Hud
son, heading the in
vestigation, remarked,.
“We know who did it,
but we can’t touch them
due to a loophole in the
University Charter.”
Hudson explained the
sequence of events,
“Three weeks ago the
Carolina Journal receiv
ed a threat, which caus
ed the office to be
evacuated. The nursing
department took credit
for the threat. Two days
later, a legislator found
a note in his lunch box
which informed him of a
bomb to be placed in the
student government of
fice. The administration
of UNCC claimed credit
for that bomb. That
same day, the Carolina
Journal editorial board
phoned a threat to the
student fees committee,
who wrote a threat to
Larry Springs. Springs,
I hear just raised his
eyes and said “thank
God.”
The next week there
were more threats, the
legislature threatening
the Carolina Journal, the
BSU threatned the
nursing department.
The other BSU threaten
ed the Carolina Journal
for not making it clear
Hudson checking for bombs under traffic tickets.
which BSU was meant
in the former threat.
The thing kept ac
celerating, we thought
about calling for an
arms limitation treaty,
but my office received a
threat from the Com
muter Association. This
effectively cancelled any
hopes of a cease-fire,
wherupon I phoned a
threat to the engineering
department. I don’t
know why, but later I
received a threat from
the PLO.
This past week more
threats were made. The
more active organiza
tions were the ad
ministration, the nurs
ing department and the
Carolina Journal, the
legislature dragged a lit
tle for they were
undergoing internal
strife and were threaten
ing each other.
The results after threi
