iYeit? Union president
Phillips wants student involvement
by Sharon Brown
Feature Writer
"I'm into people," says Gary Phillips,
newly selected president of the Student
Union. "That's why; I like this job so
much. The Student Union is not nearly so
much for glory or politics. In fact there is
lots of hard work." ';.
Phillips was chosen for the position by
passing a screening of this year's selection
committee, which included this year's
Union President Deborah Dillard and
Student Body President Richard Epps. He
and other candidates then faced intensive
reviews by the Student Union Board of
Directors.
"I never thought I'd get it, but I knew
1 could do the job," asserted Phillips. ''
Phillips, the first sophomore to serve as
Union president, feels that exposure and
enthusiasm are worth more than years of
experience. '
His main hopes for the Student Union
next year center on more student input.
Phillips doesn't feel there is enough
Retrospective exhibition
honors artist -teacher Ness
UNC News Bureau
An exhibition ;of Kenneth Ness
paintings opens Sunday at the Ackland
Art Center.
The retrospective exhibition will honor
the UNC artist on his seventieth year and
his retirement as Professor of Art. An
opening day reception will be held from
3-5 p.m. ' vi'.-
More than 10(K of his major
works tempera, oil, and watercolor
paintings-are included in the Ness
exhibition. Some of the oils painted in
the 30's are rather "loose" and were
avant garde for that decade. The show
represents only a portion of the artist's
prodigious output. 1 jr-'
"My work has always been exploratory
and experimental, never arriving at any
conclusive or final kind of rri-iinerist art,"
Prof. Ness explains. "Everything is a
finding and only incident?! to a pattern.
There is no point of stopping or leaving

off for me."
In one large painting, "Half a Loaf."
Ness used "funny paper" primary colors.
He produced the canvas over 20 years ago
and it is historically one of the recognized
pop art representations.
Prof. Ness distinguished career spans
over 40 years marked with numerous
awards and honors as a participant in
international, national, and regional
exhibitions and one-man shows. He
joined the UNC art faculty 32 years ago
at the invitation of John V. Allcott, then
head of the Department of Art. He was
the Carnegie Resident Artist here for two
years, and then made a full professor in
1949.
Kenneth Ness came to maturity in the
early 30's when American art was
absorbing the powerful and diverse
influences of the new modernism
flooding in from Europe.
The exhibition will remain at the
Ackland through March 25.

publicity or contact with students. He
hopes to find ways to involve them.
More tournaments of all kinds,
"kinky" things that are crazy, and
creativity are pushed by Phillips.
He wants his committee chairmen to
consider these points. Interviews will be
held next week. Phillips will choose
people who are "enthusiastic and
creative, who have some expertise for the
committee, and who are hard workers."
The structure "of the Student Union
will remain the same, but the committees
will now have some new altered areas of
interest. :
For example, the Special Projects
committee will be working mainly on
publicity. :
Phillips would like for it to be a
flexible committee, with much input. He
wants them to promote student reaction
and involvement from outside.
"We got a bad image this year, or at
least last semester," he pointed out. "It
was mainly misunderstandings, I think.
Some of our concerts cancelled, some of
our speakers cancelled." '
The Union did bring diverse and
interesting attractions to UNC however
(Polish Mime Ballet, which sold out, and
Earl Scruggs Review), and Phillips said
this semester the Union will sponsor a
circus, panels (on prison reform and other
topics), great concerts, and good
small-name concerts. Good small-name
concerts include Blue Grass groups and
jazz groups like the St. Louis Jazz
Quartet. He wants good ones that aren't
as expensive as the big name concerts on
which the Union usually suffers a loss.
We're given a budget and plan some
things this way," he explained. "Some
things that cost us money we offer to
students free, then there are the losses on
the paid concerts, and then there are the
profits on some."
Phillips is presently working into the
position of president and will be official
president beginning in September. :
Formerly a member of the Current
Affairs committee, he became chairman
of that committee, and enjoyed the work
so much that he decided to continue in
the Student Union activities.
"I'm from Green Creek, N.C. . . . that's
near Pea Ridge," laughed Phillips as he
offered another Girl Scout cookie and
took one himself. Actually Green Creek is
near Asheville.
He is an international studiesEnglish
double major. He is very interested in
American Indian culture, especially
Indian spirituality.
"I have some very good Indian friends.
I admire their respect for all life and have
learned some valid and good things from
them," he stated. :
Phillips says he is impulsive and when
he wants to do something he does it.
"If 1 didn't enjoy what 1 was doing, I
wouldn't be here."
