Page 2 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN December 14, 19S3 CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN Published monthly throughout the school year by the students of CHARLOTTE COLLEGE, Charlotte, North Carolina. Staff Editor Assistant Editor Business Mana(!:er Faculty Advisor - CHIPS OFF THE EDITORIAL BLOCK - Well, the loiiK awaited time has almost arrived. Christmas vacation is here. Doesn’t it seem as if it has been a long time since we started this quarter. Some are going to be happy when those grades come out and some aren’t. Some of us really haven't done our best. Maybe we could have studied a little harder, or listened a little better in class. Oh well, the New Year is coming and we can turn over a new leaf next quarter. Here’s hoping all Charlotte College students have a Mer ry Christmas. It’s been a long hard pull and the vacation is well deserved. Just think, almost 20 days. But don’t torget the Christmas Dance in your elation. December 21 is the date and we want it to be the best dance ever held at C. C. Please, let’s everyone attend and have a good time. On registration day the school book exchange will be open in the sjiot beside the office. All students who do not want to keep their old books can sell them to the book ex change. Students are urged to patronize the book exchange and help it grow. Next quarter at an early date it is hoped that the school store will be open for lousiness. If so, students will be able to purchase drinks, eats, and school supplies without leavmg the building. It will be more convenient to patronize this school store and help it grow. We must have your help if it is to ])rosper. Next quarter is a short quarter, but a full one. The basketball team will be in full swing and again we urge your support for the team. They will give their best so let’s give them our best. Some of our boys are getting those invitations from Uncle Sam. Two boys who won’t be with us next quarter are Bud Niemer and John McClure. Here’s wishing them the best of luck. Well, that about caps our first quarter at C. C. Now for that long Christmas vacation. Let’s all remember what Christ mas really means while we are having all that fun. A Merry Christmas to all. GLENN KEEVER. THOUGHTS FOR CHRISTMAS “And the angel came unto her, and said. Hail, thou are highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. (St .Luke 1:28.) And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” (St. Luke 2:12-14) With the Christmas season approaching we should take this time to forget our troubles, and try to find joy in our fellow man. In thinking of the Christmas Season, the Staff of the SI SI wishes all of the Students a very Merry Christ mas and a Happy New Year. Have a good vacation and then return to school, and we shall work to bring you the very best Annual that is possible. Gary A. Longhorst, Editor and the Si Si Staff. Gleen Keever Martha Stogner John Kilgo Miss Mary Denny A "Howgozit" Plan Because of the hustle and bustle of busy college life, each student should not forget to glance at his “Howgozit” plan every now and then to make sure all is going well. His “Howgozit” is a map of the route he is to follow over the long, hard rod of education; it is his compass to success. The first major joint on the map of progress should be a detectable amount of improvement in knowl edge accumulation. When the stu dent feels that he is at a standstill in learning, he may well know that he has wandered from his char tered route, for there is no stand still in learning. Not only should a college student have a general “Howgozit” plan, but he should also have a daily one. A year in school is not just one big plan. It is divided into individual days which require individual prepara tion. The small, seemingly unim portant items gradually build them selves into the final product. And when these daily assignments slip by unprepared, the “Howgozit” says, “Not going so well.” If only students would heed this warning and not give up in desperation too soon, they could, through consistent effort, find the way back to the right road of progress. The second milestone on the map of progress must be adaptation to society. The student must con stantly seek to achieve social ma turity. Most of this knowledge, however, comes from actual ex perience; little of it can be obtained from books. Success is measured not only by the amount of intelli gence an individual has acquired, but also by the way in which he has adapted himself to his en vironment, his work, and his fel- lowmen. Good adaptation yields happiness; unhappiness is a sure sign from “Howgozit” that prog ress on the road toward social ma turity is at a standstill. And so, two of the major goals in college, according to “How gozit”, might be knowledge ac cumulation and social maturity— the one obtained from books, the other from social and extra-cur ricular activities. In order to reach these desired goals, the college student will find it necessary to constantly refer to “Howgozit,” his guide through education. LOUELLA ROBINSON. ^^^Merry Christmas^^ss^^ The Paper Staff wishes every Charlotte College student the best of luck on his exams, and a very, very Merry Christmas. Don’t for get the Christmas Dance on De cember 21st. See ya next year! AM I A BUILDER? I watched them tearing a building down, A gang of men in a busy town. With a ho-heave-ho and lusty yell They swung a beam, and the side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled. And the men you‘d hire if you had to build?” He gave a laugh and said: “No indeed! Just common labor is all I need. I can easily wreck in a day or two What builders have taken a year to do.” And I thought to myself as I went away, W'hich of these roles have I tried to play ? Am I a builder who works with care, Measuring life by the rule and square ? Am I shaping my deeds to a well- made plan. Patiently doing the best I can? Or am I a wrecker, who walks the town Content with the labor of tearing down ? School Store To Open Just in case you haven’t already noticed, a school store is being built on the second floor, between the Charlotte College office and the Central Gym. We hope to have the store open before the end of this quarter for selling school sup plies and for the Book Exchange. By the first of next quarter, we hope to be selling milk and sand wiches and other eats in the store. It will be more convenient for you to run downstairs between classes than it will be for your to dart across the street. The Student Council hopes that you, the student body, will enjoy using the school store, and that you will take advantage of its conven ience. The success of the store de pends on you and whether or not you patronize it. POWER OF PRAYER A little boy was going to school one morning and as he hurried along, he prayed; “Dear Lord, don’t let me be late. Please don’t let me be late.” Suddenly he stumbled and said. “You don5t have to shove!” * * =i Mr. and Mrs. R, C. Cola request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter. Ginger Ale, to Mr. Orange Crush. Dr. Pepper will perform the cere mony. * * Don’t speak too harshly of your enemies. You made them.
