Page 4 CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN December 13, 1950 Keymen Sponsor Harwood Turkey Raffle Have you heard of the turkey raffle? If you haven’t, you just haven’t been around Charlotte College for the past two or three weeks. At any rate, the Keymen are giving away three 15 pound tur keys at the Christmas Dance on December 16. A chance at one of these turkeys will stand you ex actly fifty cents. We have no late reports on the number 0i chances which have been sold, but according to the way the Keymen were going about it, quite a few must have been sold The proceeds from the raffle will be used to establish a Key men scholarship Fund for Char lotte College. We think you will agree, even if you don’t like tur key, that the object is a noblt one and is certainly worth buy ing a ticket for. The Collegian has learned that only a small number of tickets are left. So if you haven’t al ready bought at least one, we suggest that you contact any Keymen member immediately.

He spent his vacation last sum mer in New York doing graduate work for his Master’s degree at New York University. His am bition is to graduate from school himself. His own estimate of this is ten years from now. His big gest problem right now is re viewing textbooks. He expects to solve this within the next forty years. Even though working day and night, Mr. Harwood still finds time to devote to his hobbies, one of which is painting. Al though none of his paintings have yet been hung, neither has the painter, which probably is a good sign. He enjoys music, (New Orleans style), poker, and bicycl ing. He stated also that he play ed golf in the low seventies; but when pressed further about the matter, he admitted this was his score for nine holes. Our own private opinion is that another of his hobbies is reading some of the papers he receives on economics exams. (Another of our opinions is that the “R” before his name stands for “Rough-exam” Harwood.) His only claim to fame is that a part of his early life was spent in Han nibal, Missouri, the home of Mark Twain and Huckleberry Finn. Charlotte College - 1089 - ken - 8 The Harwoods have a daugh ter, Sharon Gay, who is five. Mrs. Harwood, who is also a St. Louisian by birth, a Southerner by choice, accompained her hus band on his Army assignments here in the States. They have recently purchased a home here in Charlotte which they are re modeling. This in itself is a size able project, as Mrs. Harwood can spend the day figuring out what she wants moved or dug up when her husband gets home at night. As an instructor, Mr. Harwood has the knack of bringing a dry textbook to life by tying it in with current business and world wide conditions. By looking be hind the scenes into the factors which make the business world what it is today, and interpreting those factors in the light of pres ent conditions, we as students are enabled to have a better un derstanding and a better founda tion on which to build our own careers. Raymond Gahagan Students Help In Administration I Forest Grove, Ore.—(I.P.)—Pa- ^ cific University recently put into effect a practical application of campus democracy by having the student body president take part as a regular member of the group of university administra tive officers and department heads which meets every Tues day morning to discuss major problems and plans of this insti tution. In announcing this innovation. Dr. Walter C. Giersbach, presi dent of Pacific, pointed out that the student body president has been invited not as a mere ob server but to share actively with advice and suggestions from the student point of view. The department of student af fairs, headed by Dean D. David Darland, with active student participation, has been carrying forward a number of new activi ties, including the recent re placement of dormitory house mothers by graduate fellows and other younger members of the educational staff as resident supervisors. All last year a representative of the student body met with the Student Personnel Committee at its weekly luncheon. This com mittee is a planning and policy making group which works with student centered problems such as registration, housing, health, food services, social activities and organizations. Student member ship on this committee worked so well, that it is being continu ed this year. On Thursdays, the dean of stu dents is host at an afternoon coffee hour at which the rep resentatives from all major cam pus organizations “put the Dean on the pan,” The why of every thing from the university budget to the question of allowing a Communist to speak at an all school assembly is discussed. No holds are barred. 'Quality Furniture at the Right Price" - VISIT OUR STORE - GOINES FURNITURE CO. llth & College Sts. Easy Terms —Open Nights —Free Parking Tattle Tale Advocates Study Of Russia Rochester, N. Y.—(I.P.) A comprehensive interdepartmental program to give University of Rochester undergraduates an in sight on Russia and world Com munism has been introduced in the College of Arts and Sciences this year. Two new courses have been combined with one on Rus sion history given for many years here. Students now have an op portunity to obtain an under standing of the Soviet Union, its historical foundations, methods and aim. The first of the new courses, “Russian Economic and Social Institutions and Policies,” is given by Assistant Professor Otakar Kutvirt of the Depart ment of Economics, a former of ficial of the Czech government who escaped from the country when the Communists seized power, and who was a leader of the underground movement against the Nazis in World War II. The second course will present specialists in many fields who will discuss world effects of Com munism in science, art, music, literature and international po litical and economic relations. Students majoring in several departments elect one or more of these courses as related sub jects in the fields of concentra tion. Dr. J. Edward Hoffmeister, dean of the College, said that the administration regards it as es sential “to insure that no student shall graduate into a world in crisis without having had an op portunity to obtain the intellec tual tools necessary to sound poli tical judgement and wise citizen ship.” (Continued from page 2) whom went to C.

Legislative Assembly (Continued from page li the separate Houses were held on the same evening to elect of ficers of those bodies. Meetings for the consideration of bills were held on Friday morning, afternoon, and evening and on Saturday morning. Science Students (Continued from page 1) astonishment, all hands arrived at the foot of the mountain, after a short visit to a rock quarry near Kings Mountain to study the rock formations of the quarry. There being no dissenting voices, it was decided to eat lunch before starting up the mountain. A couple of the boys helped Spake lift his lunch out of the car; after seeing L. A.’s lunch, we sneaked behind the car to eat our four sandwiches, half a fried chicken, and two slices of chocolate cake. The first hundred yards up the mountain were negotiated with out any notable incident. Even the first encounter with bare rock with which Crowder is crowned only convinced the city dwelling assembly that they weren’t so soft after all. But as the ascent grew steeper, there was a wholesale changing of opinion, and many a tongue lolled on many a cheek before the sum mit was reached. As it turned out, the summit had not been reached—Dr. Heck had merely paused to explain some of the flora peculiar to Crowder Moun tain. From then on the going got rough, to indulge in a bit of understatement. As far as we are personally concerned, a hill stops being a hill when it hits 90 degrees; from there on out it’s a precipice. The lucky ones were those who had worn soft-soled shoes and could curl a toe around any available twig, pebble, or slow-moving animal. Just as every other thing has a limit, so Crowder Mountain has a top. It was a winded and grateful group which paused finally at the top for a few gulps of the abundant mountain air. It is reported that the linament flowed freely and the analgesic balm was applied copiously in many a Charlotte home that night. But it was to no avail; the old mountain had taken its toll; Crowder Creep reached epidemic proportions before morning. Early to rise and early to bed. Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and dead. A mother was instructing her young son in table manners just before he was to leave for a party at the home of one of his little friends. “Now, Bobby, if you’re offer ed a second piece of cake, be a little gentleman and refuse, just as nicely as your father does.” When the boy returned home after the party, his mother ask ed: “Did you refuse the second slice of cake, as I told you to?” “Sure, Mother,” was the young ster’s reply, “just like father does. I said: ‘Take that damned stuff out of my sight’!” DeVonde-Macy Cleaners 121 W. 6th Street Exclusively the very best in hand cleaning & dyeing 10% reduction to students and faculty members at the counter CENTRAL DRIVE-IN Opposite the College where you can eat the old fashiort Bor-B-Q TBDD’S FLOWERS "Home of Fine Flowers" Phone 8129 1504 Central Avenue Charlotte, N.
