Carnival meets money goal BY VICKY COCKERHAM Staff Writer i Funtastic accurately described UNC-G's Saturday carnival, which was held in the Quad from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The carnival, which was headed by Candy Todd and Jim McAbee, raised $1,103 for the United Way Campaign. m Although the goal was 51,093 (one dollar for every pint of blood given at the bloodmobile) the sponsors had hoped to raise more money. Fair weather along with all of the entertainment provided by the carnival should have attracted more than the approximately 800 people that were said to be there. A total of 20 booths presented an Cindy Nisbet makes her pitch for the United Way . .. Staff photo by Malcolm Moore Railroads, location aid development Effective growth due to planning BY CHUCK HOUSKA Staff Writer The city of Greensboro was the subject of a series of three lectures sponsored last week by six departments on campus who are engaged in the development of urban courses at the undergraduate level here on campus. Dr. Samuel M. Kipp. III. the lecturer, has spent the last four years studying the city of Greensboro from the years 1870-1920. Dr. Kipp, a professor at Tulane University, did his study as a doctorial thesis. The study is in the process of being published as a book. The sources of Dr. Kipp's study come from microfilms of papers, courthouse records, published census reports, and old city directories "The major growth of Greensboro can be attributed to good city planning." said Dr. Kipp. "On January 28, 1870, a bill to charter the city of Greensboro was introduced in the North Carolina State Senate, and on February 26 it passed its third reading." According to local tradition, when this measure was first proposed by Mayor Robert M. Sloan, Alderman John A. Gilmer was reported to have asked, "Don't you think that 'city' sounds rather premature?" Mayor Sloan responded, "I think it sounds nice, and it can do no harm." Another factor which aided the city's growth was the coming of the railroads. According to Dr. Kipp, "The railroads were a vital precondition for the urbanization of Greensboro, lowering the cost and time required for the shipment of goods, they expanded the size of the town's potential commercial hinterland and increased the likelihood that expansion would prove profitable." "In 1890 the town's leaders had the tendency to act in a hesitant manner when undertaking new projects," said Dr. Kipp, adding "at times they were fearful of acting hastily, and unsure of what to do." According to Dr. Kipp this is a problem that "faced a city destined to grow." After the lecture a question-and-answer period was held by a panel consisting of Dr. Robinson, professor of history; Mr. William D. Snider, editor-in-chief of the Greensboro News and Record; Mr. John Chandler, Greensboro city planner; Dr. David Shelton, dean of the School of Business and Economics; and Dr. James Savara, professor ot Political Science. During the question-and-answer period it was brought out that Durham was the high bidder for higher education structures, but was refused because the city was "not the place for young ladies," according to Dr. Kipp. Dr. Shelton expressed appreciation for the lecture, saying "It's nice to hear someone say something good about urban growth." and Mickey Blaylock takes a dive in Saturday's 'Funtastic' Carnival. Staff Photo by Susan Bright Hagaman appointed head of media resource center UNC-G News Bureau Chancellor James S. Ferguson has announced the appointment of assistant professor of education Dr. W. Hugh Hagaman as director of the newly-created Instructional Resources Center, which will provide coordinated media services for teaching programs throughout the campus. "This agency will assist faculty in achieving maximum use of present media resources and will provide leadership in the utilization of educational technology in teaching and learning," explained Dr. Ferguson. The new center is now providing these services: Coordination of existing campus media services. Assistance to faculty in media usage. Coordination of media hardware purchases. Media production service, and Maintenance of instructional equipment. Dr. Hagaman said, "We will offer some services to the campus that have never been offered before. One new service is the preparation of transparencies and other graphic illustrations for classroom instruction. drawn by Ms. Nancy Willis, who works in the center as an artist-illustrator. By offering consultant services to faculty in the use of media in instructional development, the center will stimulate use of various media in the classroom. Moreover, through coordinating media hardware purchases on campus, the center will provide some badly needed technical knowledge concerning equipment capabilities and specifications. Hagaman also believes coordinated purchasing will minimize unnecessary duplication in buying new pieces of equipment, such as film projectors and video tape machines. "We project that this new center will save money for the University in the long run through wise planning and knowledgeable purchases," noted Hagaman. The new center was created following a lengthy study by an ad hoc faculty committee. When it was established, the University's existing Electronics Maintenance Center was incorporated in the new unit.

Suff Photo by chuch Houska Funds for NBS, beer cut, two impeached by Senate BY JOHN SCHOFFSTALL Staff Writer Senate further cut the budgets ot NBS and The Carolinian, axed two beer blasts, and voted 21-1-1 to impeach two delinquent Senators, while sitting in special session last Thursday. The meeting, which began early in the evening, lasted until 3:30 a.m. The $3000 that NBS proposes to spend on choir robes again came under debate. Debbie Whitley (Coit) made the initial motion to delete the money. She suggested that, instead, each choir member sew his own robe. Sam Miller, chairman of NBS, responded: "We thought that the choir robes would be the permanent equipment of the NBS ... we felt it would be a heck of a lot better having these robes than making" new robes from year to year." It was suggested that the cheaper course might be to have the robes made, rather than buying them ready-made. Miller said no, the NBS had checked that out. Other suggestions ranged from buying used robes from a church to no robes at all. The tide turned when Cynthia Broom (T.S.) asked Miller to set priorities on items within the 'Projects' category of the NBS budget, within which the robes fell. Miller assigned the robes first priority. The final vote was overwhelmingly for the robes. But the feeling that something needed to be cut was still in the air. "We don't want to look like a bunch of irresponsible dorks," said Tom Strowd (Bailey) in reference to the possibility that Senate would allocate more money than it had and, consequently, be hauled into court. When the robes passed. Cap Sink (Winfield) moved to delete the $650 in 'Projects' that was to pay for a band. Reiterating the sentiments of last Tuesday, she said, "I like to dance, but six dances is too much expenditure in six weeks." Ben Sells, (T.S.) proposed a substitute motion, which passed. Sells' motion was to delete all of the 'Projects' category except money for robes, for the band, and for two charity projects. This provided for variety. Sells asserted. Miller angrily retorted: "I just want See 'Karate,' Page 3. opportunity for everyone to compete for prizes. Prizes awarded ranged from inexpensive trinkets, which were given as consolation prizes or won with pure luck, to more expensive prizes won solely on skill. The popular infamous dunker was present along with high striker and ball bingo. Toward the middle ot ihe afternoon, some of the prizes began to run out in several of the booths. This was quickly remedied by borrowing prizes from other booths, so the ihow could go on. Although it was hoped that more people would attend, the lines were long anyway. Prizes could have completely run out if more people had been there. Candy apples were not sold at the Funtastic Carnival, but cotton candy and snow cones gave the fete a carnival atmosphere. Funtastic had some qualities which were better than the average carnival. Everything there didn't cost, for instance. A bluegrass band provided free music for all interested. Another favorable aspect was that there was no admission charge. All the participants needed to buy were the tickets for the actual events. The tickets cost .10 per child. .15 per adult, or 8 for one dollar. Perhaps the best feature was that the booths were not rigged. Even though many booths reauired great skill, they were not impossible. The Guilford College Fire Department provided an antique fire engine to shuttle people to and from the Graham Building. The carnival also held a raffle. A date with Bill Boggs and Buffy Queen was given away. All in all the carnival provided money for the United Way Campaign, fun for the students, and was appreciated by all who attended. New archives set acquired by library UNC-G News Bureau - The Walter C. Jackson Library has acquired from the N.C. Department of Archives microfilmed copies of North Carolina county court records from the early colonial period through 1868. Department of History Professor Dr. Robert M. Calhoon described the county court records as the largest single collection of literary source material on North Carolina history available in the state. "During the time span covered by these documents the county court was both court and government," said Dr. Calhoon. "The court record is the one place where everything was recorded. It represents the largest amount of information available about what was happening in the state up to 1868." The court records ior a few counties are incomplete due to fires and other damage, but a large body of material survives. Boundary settlements, wills, appointments and other such entries appear frequently in the records. A particularly popular course in local history and genealogy led to a university application for a federal grant, which recently enabled the library to purchase the microfilms. The non-credit course, a series of public lectures, led to a continuing history course being taught this fall. "I think the study of local history and genealogy is coming back in favor," said Calhoon. 'The interest in roots and the past has gained popularity in the past few years."
