Charles Hale Is
Fancy Dancer
If you missed the basket
ball game Wednesday night,
Jan. 30, you missed a rare
treat. During halftime, Charles
Hale, accompanied by the
Cougarettes, performed the In
dian dance in full costume. The
warm response from the stu
dents and others who attended
suggests that Charles be asked
to perform more often.
Charles started dancing when
he was in the Cub Scouts and
has been dancing ever since. As
a member of the Tan-a-wanda
Scout dance team, Charles per
formed for the United Na
tions Festival. At the age of
twelve, not only was he invited
to join the Order of the Arrow,
which is a fraternal organiza
tion of the Boy Scouts, he was
also adopted by Elton Green
(Mad Dog), Chief of the Tus-
carora nation. At thirteen
Charles received the tremen
dous honor of being invited to
join the Order of the Feather.
This is an all Indian dance team
that performs religious and
ceremonial dances.
When Charles was 14, he be
gan to dance in competition.
He took first place in Columr
bus, Ohio and second place in
state competition in Cincinnati.
From there the top three danc
ers from Virginia, Pennsyl
vania, New York, Ohio, and
West Virginia met for the re-
gionals at Goat Island, New
York, where Charles took first
place with his Hoop Dance.
Besides dancing in competi
tion, Charles was asked to
dance in the nationals at the
University of Nebraska. The
Onondaga nation in Canada, of
which Charles is an honorary
member, asked^, him to dance
during their Centennial. To
add to his many honors, Charles
is soon to receive his 32nd De
gree in the Masonic Order.
Besides Indian dancing,
Charles likes to water ski, snow
ski, and do anything pertaining
to Indian heritage. Sailing (He
has his own boat) is another of
his favorite pastimes.
Charles is from Columbus,
Ohio. He was in the Marine
Corps for four years and at
tended Ohio State before mov
ing to Wilkes County. He will
be graduating in the spring and
plans to transfer to ASU where
he will work towards a degree
in Computer Science Informa
tion.
On March 9, Charles will be
sharing the spotlight with Dr.
Mayer’s Symphony Orchestra
as he executes the intricate
steps of the beauiful Indian
dance on WXII TV for the
March of Dimes Telethon.

the BT graduates are advised to
work in industry a few years
and get some experience in the
field in which they want to
teach, then apply for a teaching
position in a two-year insitu-
tion.
The BT Degree offers the
graduate more options than
most four-year degrees. The
program is flexible and can be
completed in two years. The
BT student must meet all gen
eral college requirements be
fore he graduates. Applicants
for the program are selected
partially on the grade point
average they maintained while
enrolled at the two-year institu
tions. Any student who is in
terested in applying for admis
sion into the BT Program
should try to keep his grade
point average as high as pos
sible. The student’s grade
point average is weighed heav
ily and usually indicates a stu
dent’s willingness and ability
to do the work required to
complete a certain field of
study.
Any of the BT students now
doing internships at WCC will
be glad to talk with students
who have questions about the
BT Program at ASU. Dr. Tom
Cottingham at ASU is the BT
Program Co-ordinator and is
also available to answer stu
dents’ questions about the BT
