School Days COLLEGIATE LIFE Almost Over Vol. 1 - No. 5 CHARLOTTE COLLEGE, CHARLOTTE, N. C. May 16, 1950 MAY DANCE IS BIG SUCCESS ★ ★ Freshmen Top Sophomores In Paper Contest judges Praise Both Papers The judges of the Freshman- Sophomore newspaper contest have decided that the Freshmen issue was the better of the two. In a letter to Miss Mary Denny, Faculty Adviser for Collegiate Life, one of the judges of the contest, Mr. Fesperman of the Charlotte News pointed out that it was a very difficult assign ment to decide between the two issues. In the contest the Freshman and Sophomore Classes each got out an edition of Collegiate Life, the Sophomore issue ap pearing February and the Fresh man issue in March. In giving the reasons behind the judges’ decision, Mr. Fesper man made special mention of several features of each edition. Of the Freshman issue he states that the front page was partic ularly good because of the amount of straight news it con tained; that the two editorials were examples of clear thinking and good writing; and that the war stories of Ernest H. Jones and Ray Descaro were excellent. In discussing the sophomore is sue, Mr. Fesperman mentioned the excellent sports page which it contained, the unusally good “Tat tle Tale” column, and the in teresting story of Conrad Phillips by Kate Bechtler. The letter adds that Collegiate Life is fully as sprightly and informative as many papers of much larger col leges. The staff of the Sophomore issue were Deanne Richardson, Editor-in-Chief; Barbara Murphy, Associate Editor; and Harry Kirk, Advertising Manager. The Freshman staff included Carole Hinson, Editor-in-Chief; Bill Senn, Associate Editor; and Ralph Turner, Advertising Man' ager. Miss Denny was Faculty Adviser for both editions. The contest judges, in addition to Mr. Fesperman, were Mr. Bob Page of the Charlotte Observer and Mr. Leslie Outterson of Cen tral High School faculty.

The varous foreign language clubs of the Charlotte city schools were invited, and refreshments were served. Daphane James, one of C. C.’s students, won a $2,50 cash scholar ship in a contest sponsored by the Colonial Stores. She wrote a letter on “Why Every Young Person Should Have A College Education.” The entertainment committee is trying to get Kurt Webster to bring his radio show, the man on the street broadcast, to C. C. The botany class went on a field trip April 16 near Dr. Hechenbleinkner's home. The trip proved to be very construc tive, for some rare algae were discovered by Dr. Hechenblein- kner. Of course, no one else knew it was rare. “Si Si.” Charlotte College’s an nual, has at last gone to press. The commencement committee has selected Mr. John Paul Lucas of Charlotte as the speaker for the graduating class exercises. In a letter to Miss Marian Fraser. Adviser of the committee, he ac cepted the invitation to speak. The basketball team's efforts will at long last receive some recognition. At the next meeting of the Quarterback Club of Char lotte letters are going to be awarded to some members of C. C.’s team. Student Council Officers For Next Year Elected Adams, Holloday Elected President, Vice-President In a close election May 4 of ficers for the 1951 student coun cil were elected. Hugh Adams was elected president; Jerry Holloday, vice-president; Nancy Freeman, secretary; and Ray Descaro, treas urer. Bill Primm, Chairman of the Election Committee, reported that the voting in the run off election was unusually heavy. The win ners were elected by a majority of approximately five per cent of the total votes cast. The campaigns staged by the candidates for the two top of fices created a great deal of in terest among the student body. The newly-elected president and vice-president promised a consti tution for Charlotte College as the main plank in their platform. The election of the secretary and the treasurer was very close also. However, the majority re ceived by the secretary, Nancy Freeman, and the treasurer, Ray Descaro, was sufficient to elect them on the first ballot. But a run-off was necessary for the of fices of president and vice-presi dent. EDITORS NOTE: Congratula tions to the new president and the other officers. We are sure Charlote College is in for a big ger and better year.

Notice To Vets Information has been received by the College office from the Ieterans’ Administration which will interest those veterans en- oUed under Public Law 346 who lesire to transfer from Charlotte College to another institution for 1 summer session with no change n objective. The requests for permanent ransfer will be handled in the ame way as permanent trans- 'er requests made at any other time of the year. However, the ^eterans’ Administration makes certain recommendations for fili ng out the request forms by vet- ■■rans who wish to take a summer course at another school and to re turn to Charlotte College at the beginning of next school year. It will not be necessary for these veterans to identify by name the instructional units or subjects which they will study during the summer session at the other in stitution. But in order that these equests for temporary transfer may be readily identified as not ■nvolving a change in course, the Veterans’ Administration suggests that the veteran show as his reason for requesting the change a statement of facts substantially as follows: “I wish to continue training in my present vocational objective or degree designation of at the Summer School conducted by University or Col lege, beginning (date) “The institution in which I am at present enrolled will grant credit for the program pursued in the Summer School.” In addition to this statement by the veteran, the request for transfer must contain a state ment from the College office of whether the contemplated pro gram in the Summer School is acceptable for credit at Char lotte College. Horace Greely, who always in sisted that the word “news” was plural, once wired a reporter; “Are there any news?” The reply came back by wire; “Not a new.”
