Appointments are for the time remaining until officers are elected for these posts at the next Statewide Meeting. Appointed as the new party Secretary is Mr. Ken Dunn of Pineville, NC. Mr. Dunn is presently organizing in the Charlotte area the state party's second Institute on the Constitution. Also appointed as the new party Treasurer is Mr. Erik Wilson of High Point.

CPNC First Television Exposure
CPNC received its first official TV exposure on Sept. 8 at 11:00am on NBC-17 in Raleigh. The program, hosted by Monty Knight, featured five of the alternative parties in North Carolina. Representing the CPNC was Acting Chairman, Michael Harrison. Exposure was brief - each representative was given about three 15 or 20 second spots to make statements and answer questions offered by the show's three hosts. The most important aspect of the program is that viewers were presented with alternatives to the same old two-party system here in NC, and viewers were repeatedly told about how unfair the ballot access laws are, being that they favor the two major parties. Tapes of the program were not available from the station. []
