Finance Committee
Of all the Committees of the
Student Council the Finance Com
mittee is one that I know you are
all interested in. No student gov
ernment can operate without fi
nances, and without finances this
report would be unnecessary, and
without finances we would have
no activities.
The treasurer of the Student
Council is the chairman of the Fi
nance Committee, and she shall
select her committee from the
Freshman and Sophomore classes.
A quarterly budget which this
committee prepares is presented
to the Student Council for ap
proval. The Finance Committee
also is responsible for compiling a
full and complete report of all
financial receipts and expenditures
which is published in the school pa
per at the end of each quarter.
I think it is incumbent upon me.
as vour treasurer, to explain to you
the method of allocating the funds
to the various committees in order
that the activities might be carried
out during the school year. Each
committee chairman makes out a
budget and presents it to the Fi
nance Committee for approval.
After the Finance Committee has
approved the various committee
budgets, they are then presented to
the Student Council for approval.
Any student interested in work
ing on the Finance Committee,
please contact the treasurer of the
Student Council.

COLLEGIAN
ELECTION DATA
In college, classroom training
alone is not sufficient to prepare
a person for a happy and produc
tive life. The individual must also
leain social grace,, co-operation,
and good citizenship. As chairman
of the Elections committee my
prime concern is citizenshi]). Citi
zenship encompasses many things,
especially participating in elec
tions.
Since this is the beginning of a
new year and since we have so
many new students, I would like
to explain how we carry on our
nominations and elections. There
have been three active political
parties in the school—The Advanc
ed Party, the Independent Party,
and t’ne Progressive Party. The Ad
vanced Party is our newest party
and it secured the majority of the
offices in last year’s elections. As
a rule, cadidates are nominated
and supported by one of these par
ties. It may seem adolescent to
many to have political parties in
school, but there is a purpose in
it. Different groups within the
school will naturally have different
ideas as to how the student gov
ernment should be run. Also, it is
necessary that college students
learn what party politics are. An
other reason is that competition
stimulates interest.
Freshmen class officers will be
nominated and elected sometime
in November. I would like to en
courage the Freshmon to contact
the leaders of the various parties
for support in the coming elections.
I also advise the members of this
class to be appraising other mem
bers of the class so that they will
be able to nominate and elect to
office the most capable people
possible.
The rules governing nominations,
campaigns, and elections are set up
in the Student Handbook, I advise
that you read this section thor
oughly so as to become familiar
w'ith the correct procedure.
Members are needed on the Elec
tions Committee, and I would like
for people who are interested in
this type of work to contact me. It
is an interesting job and I am sure
some of you would enjoy working
at it. Anyone who would like to
help would certainly be welcomed.
ADDITION TO
Have you noticed that pretty,
young face floating around Miss
Cone’s office? It belongs to Miss
Joyce Dunn who is Miss Cone’s
secretary. Miss Dunn, or Joyce as
she is known to most of us, is a
Central High graduate and also a
product of C. C.’s adult business
educ;>tion classes. Joyce assumed
her full time duties on August 4,
Sept. 23, 1952
SIGMA PI ALPHA
Sigma Pi Alpha, a national hon
orary language fraterity, which is
established at Charlotte College as
the Gamma Gamma Chapter, was
founded at North Carolina State
College in 1926. The fraternity be
gan as a Spanish club and adopted
the name of Los Hidalgos. In 1928
the society was nationalized under
the name of Sigma Pi Alpha.
The object of Sigma Pi Alpha is
to stimulate an interest in and to
acquire a more intimate knowledge
of the people, language, customs
and cultui'e of foreign countries,
and to bring about a better under
standing between these countries
and ours.
The membership of Sigma Pi
Alpha is composed of French and
Spanish students who have a high
scholastic average and who have
be.’n recommended foi- membership
by their respective language
teachers.
A national congress is held an
nually of all chapters of Sigma
Pi Alpha.
The Charlotte College chapter
has been very active for the past
two years.

SI SI PLANS
As is the custom every year.
Charlotte College plans to publish
SI SI, the school annual, again
this year. We want to have a big
ger and better annual this year
by having a complete coverage of
all school activities.
During the first two weeks of
sc'.iool all students will be given
an opportunity to sign up for the
annual staff. To work on the edi
torial half of the publication, we
will need typists, artists, writers,
and anyone who wants to get in
on the confusion and fun.
On the other side of the annual,
the business staff will need a crew'
of workei's who have talent for
handling money or a persuasive
way of selling adds.
Bud Neimer will be business
manager of the annual this year,
and John McClure will be editor.
Any suggestions and all help will
be appreciated.
—JOHN McCLURE, Editor.
