Streaking, which has been
sweeping the colleges and
universities around the
country, ran rampant through
UNC-G during the past week.
On Sunday night, 1,000 to
1,500 people watched and
cheered as UNC-G set various
new streaking records. 258
students "streaked",
including 75-80 women (a
new national record), which
incidentally surpassed the
209 "streakers" who ran at
Carolina last week.
There were also tnree
other records set: one for two
nude persons (one man, one
woman) who rode a
motorcycle for one-half mile,
one for five people in a
Porsche, and one for six in an

The North Carolina
Student Legislature (NCSL)
began when its first meeting
was called to order on Nov.
12, 1937. One of the earliest
student lawmaking bodies of
its type in the country, the
NCSL met, debated, and
discussed under the
sponsorship of the N.C. State
College forensic teams.

N.C. Association of

Affairs. Elected President was

President-Elect is Joseph W.

This is possibly the first
such association actually to
begin operations, although
several other states are
organizirjgVsimilar associations
with the encourgement of the
U.S. Office of Education.
The avowed purposes of
these associations are to
promote the professional
competency, cooperation,
and association of those
people who are operating and
counseling in veterans
programs in institutions of
post-secondary education.
The idea of a model
legislature with student
representatives from colleges
around the state was brought
into being by Professor
Edwin H. Paget, who served
as sponsor for the assembly
for several years. Governor
Hoey addressed the 1937
session. Secretary of State
Tli ad Eure served as
parliamentarian, and before
the day was over, the
Assembly rejected a
resolution urging President
Roosevelt to seek a third
term, 24-23. This move is
especially significant because
of its timing—only one year
after his election to a second
term.
In 1972, the NCSL started
an expansion that has
continued to the present
session.

change was to incorporate
into the duties of the NCSL
the job of maintaining
relations and asserting
influence on the N.C. General
Assembly. This led to the
formation of the Legislative
Liason Committee. Also
during 1972 the first Finance
drive was initiated,
membership increased,
relations were established
between the NCSL and other
student legislatures in the
Southeastern United States,
and the Board of Advisors
was formed.
NCSL in 1973 showed the
largest increase in
membership since 1937. The
committee system itself was
changed to include the
Finance Committee, Social
Concerns Committee, Black
and Minority Affairs and the
Academic Affairs
Committee. Comprehensive
constitutional changes were
undertaken. In an effort to
emphasize the NCSL as a
year-round organization, to
bring in new members, and to
involve all delegates in the
formulation of NCSL policy
decisions, the first Summer
Workshop was held.
The UNC-G delegation is
taking two bills and eight
resolutions to the NCSL
session. The main bill
concerns an act to authorize
the use of highway funds for
the purpose of building
bikeways in municipalities;
the second bill is an act to
amend the General Statutes
concerning programs for the
advancement of the arts by
the Consolidated University
of North Carolina.
The eight resolutions are.
as follows: the financing of a
bike education fund through
bicycle licencing, various
resolutions concerning school
bus safety standards, and the
abolition of the co-payment
system for medical care.
There are 25 delegates
going to the 1974 session,

M.G.B.
Vice-chancellor James
Allen sent word that he was
"all for it as long as (the
streakers] stayed on
campus." The campus police
did not interfere, acting
under a decision made last
Friday that no criminal or
intra-University disciplinary
action would be taken.
The "streaking" craze
apparently began at UNCG
last Wednesday night, when
one lone man ran naked
down College Avenue. That
was also the night that
Carolina set the national
record for the new sport.
UNCG staged its first
major "streak" the following
night in front of Guilford and
Spencer Halls. 1,500 to 2.000
students gathered to watch
the "streakers", numbering
between 18 and 25 including
four women, frolic up and
down College Avenue.
The "streakers" made two
runs. In between, some of the
residents of Guilford danced
naked on the roof, and when
a television crew from WFMY
arrived with their spotlights,
the spectators went wild for
them.
When the "streakers"
made their last run, coming
down College Avenue, Mr.
James Blevins, Director of
Campus Security, and one of
his officers grabbed a female
"streaker" and took her to a
waiting campus police car.
Another officer tackled a
male "streaker" and the
crowd jumped to the
"streaker's" rescue. As they
wrestled with the Security
Officer, he began to strike the
students with his flashlight.
The "streaker" escaped,
and. the officer (as yet
unidentified) grabbed another
student about the waist and
"began to strike him. More
students pulled the two apart
and the scuffle ended. There
were no reported injuries.
The crowd, now
numbering aproximately 800,
swarmed around the police
car in which the girl was
being held. A chant of "Let
her go!" sprang up, and an
unknown person slashed the
car's tires.
After consultation with
James Allen, the Campus
Security officers released the
girl.
In the meantime, someone
had caved in the roof of the
patrol car by jumping on its
roof. After the car left, the
crowd dispersed.
In Sunday night's "streak"
the participants ran three
times, up and down the
Quad. Between "streaks"
people rode about nude on
motorcycles and in cars.
One girl, standing at the
microphone on the porch of
Hinshaw. announced that
"we will never put UNCG on
the map unless more girls
streak."
There were also various
challenges, relayed through
master-of-ceremonies Jerry
Fletcher. One challenged Mr.
Blevins to "streak", and was
met with applause from the
audience.
Two men who are
rumored to be running for
SGA offices "streaked",
saying they were in favor of
openness in government.
This "First National
Streaking Competition" was
sponsored by a group calling
itself the UNC-G chapter of
the "Alpha Sigma Sigma
fraternity". A spokesman for
the group said. "If our
records are broken, there will
be another streaking."

PIRG to petition UNC-G
for access to SGA funds
Pamela Blackburn
Staff Writer
The UNCG organization
of North Carolina Public
Interest Research Group, (NC
PIRG), a student pressure
group concentrating on
environmental and consumer
policy-making, met again
Thursday evening at ECU to
discuss funding, canvassing
and petitioning.
The funding issue is still
unclear because of a state law
that has been used to prevent
NC PIRG at UNCG from
collecting funds from
students. Randy Riley, a
member of the PIRG here,
stated, "We had hoped to use
student activity fees and be
classified as a Type 11
organization."
PIRG proposes to get a
gauge of student support for
funding of PIRG at UNCG
by petition. PIRG will submit
the petition to the SGA
Senate and ask for $1.50 for
every undergraduate student
if a majority of the students
have signed the petition.
The PIRG leaders feel that
a petition to gauge student
support is better that a voting

For those of you who do
not know "Mama," she came
to UNCG last spring, a
wounded refugee and mother
of five.
"Mama" is a black and
white cat who deckled to use
the Chancellor's cellar as a
maternity ward and decided
that she liked it well enough
to stay on.

March 20 and Thursday
March 21 in Cone Ballroom
of Elliott Hall.
Registration times will be
from 10 a.m. to 8:30 pm. on
Wed. and 10 a.m. to 3:30
pjn. on Thurs. However, they
will remain in the ballroom
until all that have registered
have been processed.
Last fall a record of 924
pints of blood were collected.
The goal again is 1,000 pints.
According to APO brother
Joel Ritter, projects
chairman. "With your
backing and only with your
backing can we hope to come
close to that goal." He
continued, "We have been
promised an additional six
tables and additional nurses
for this visit. Hopefully, this
will lessen the waiting time."
Once again, the fraternity
wil throwa party for the dorm
having the highest percentage
of donors. Last semester both
Jamison and Cotten won
parties having percentages
over 50.
APO brothers ask that
students rest up over the
break in order to give blood.
Donor qualification sheets
will be placed in each of the
dorms and on bulletin boards
in Elliott Hall.
The traternity would like
to thank the students for the
recent support that
contributed $1334.41 to the
recent Heart Fund Drive.
At that time, a few
concerned students at Elliott
Hall took it upon themselves
to have her altered and
treated for her wounds.
"Mama," now that homes
have been found for all her
kittens, has taken over the
area from the Administration
Building to the Chancellor's
house.
According to Chancellor
Ferguson, "She's getting
along famously." He said that
she often visits him when the
door is open.
Though he characterizes
her as a friendly cat, he
admitted being victim to her
playfulness.
She's a pretty tough
mama: "Sometimes a dog
tries to eat her food, but she
stands her ground against all
of them."
Between the Chancellor's
wife and people at Elliott
Hall, "Mama" makes out
pretty well. The Chancellor
did point out that despite
being well-fed "she still
enjoys a bird or a mouse or
two."

one-to-one contact between
PIRG persons and
uncommitted students who
might want to ask questions
about the group's purposes
and methods.
The PIRG convassers want
to "paper the campus" with
flyers and posters the
remaining days before Spring
Break. After the break, the
legal questions should be
answered one way or another,
but even if they are not, the
petitioning will begin during
the week of March 18
according to PIRG.
The committees of UNCG
NC PIRG are specialized to
deal with the significant
elements of gaining student
support . These are
Dormitories, Town Students,
Faculty, Advertising, Radio,
and Newspaper.
The Dormitory and Town
Student Committees are
considered the most
important by Kim Bradshaw.
a PIRG leader, because they
involve direct links with the
students who count.
The funds that UNC-G
PIRG are using now are left
over from an earlier attempt
to establish a PIRG chapter
here, according to Mr.
Bradshaw. The bank account
had $50.00 in it.
The Canvasser's Handbook
is used by all the students
who are working with PIRG
now. It gives the techniques
to be prac t iced in
approaching citizens or
.students to talk about PIRG.
The faculty committee of
PIRG at UNC-G has made a
point of getting the flyers to
faculty in order to enlist their
aid.

The energy crisis has
already begun to affect the
entertainment habits of
millions of Americans as the
gas guage becomes the meter
regulating fun seeking.
According to former UNCG
student Jerfy Warren, the
crisis has even created a new
locus where some form of
entertainment is desperately
needed.
Warren, along with several
other former and present
UNCG students has created a
new game to meet the needs
of what he terms the "gas line
entertainment crisis." Known
as "Shortage!" the game is
billed by Warren as "resource
crisis entertainment."
The game focuses around
the acquisition of resources as
players compete in the world

According to Warren, the new

tap the springs of our

did another popular game of
wheeling and dealing that
emerged from the
