Page 2 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN March, 1956 Published monthly throughout the school year by the students of CHARLOTTE COLLECiK, Charlotte, North Carolina. Editor I'at Faulkner Assistant Editor Gwen Daly Business Manager Johnsie Creene Faculty Advisor Miss Mary Denny EXAMS Well, here we are aKwin at the end of six months of school. Facing us is three clays of exams. Yes, aKain its time to test our knowledKe to see if we have made that final hump. As for this one fellow, I’m not looking forward to these frantic and nerve-rackinjf days. Anyway with Winter exams coming on we can look forward to some warmer and more sim- shininK days of school. The SprinK Quarter, or for that matter any new Quarter, is always a welcome relief because of the new subjects and fresh material to study. The second reason is the “book-learn- ing” is much easier at the beRinninR of a new quarter and the complexities of material seem to be a faint and future hard ship. Well here’s hoping that you as well as I make all A’s. DANCE COMMITTEE DOING FINE JOB We would again like to take off our hats to the dance com mittee. The last dance was an overwhelming success and plans are already being made for the Spring dance. Patsy Hartsell and Frank Garner have worked very hard planning and initiating our dances this year and will do so in the future. I believe I would not be wrong in saying that we have had some of the most successful and enjoyable dances this year than ever before witnessed at Miss Raney should also be commended for some of the success for the dances. She did much publicizing and pushing to get students to enjoy what they pay for. Be sure to remember the Spring Dance and be ready to at tend. The dances are for you. Why don’t you take advantage of them? We’ll see vou there.

The Navy moved their forces in to the halls of C.C. on February 27, 195t; but there is no need to become alarmed. Lieutenant G. V. Miller of the United States Navy was here at C. C. to interview' those college students who were interested in the Naval Aviation Cadet Flight Training Program. 'I'he Navy presented a very en ticing program to those students interested in the flight training program. The requirements were very limited and a free of charge trip was offered to Atlanta, Ga. to take mental and physical ex aminations. Ninety quarter hours of credits are needed to become eli gible for this program. .Anyone in terested ? OWL'S ROOST BOASTS OF NEW MACHINE The changing weather has also brought a change in the I'efresh- ments being served at the Owl’s Roost. It seems that everytime we turn around the Roost is becoming larger and more fully equipped. Since the weather has shown signs of bringing the sun through those dark clouds the school has had the insight to see that the students might enjoy something a little dif ferent from coffee or hot chocolate that has become so familiar around the school. The Roost has a new Coca-Cola machine which will serve cokes just as cold and refreshing as any to be found in the city. Also, as you know, the Roost has all the necessary extra refreshments to go with the new drinks. Oh yes, we don’t want to forget to mention the proprietor and his aides who have been on the blank side of the news. George Leventis will be the gentleman to see if you desire a coke, and the old coffee and hot chocolate mixer. Bill Avant is still doing a wonder ful job of making these fabulous concoctions. MR. NURI EREN SPEAKS TO ASSEMBLY Mr. Nuri Eren, the Turkish Ambassador to the United States, was the guest speaker at the Char lotte assembly on March 2, 1956. Bill Reid presided over the as sembly and Dr. IMerre Macy made the introduction. The subject of Mr. P^ren’s speech was the “Impact of the Western World on the Middle East.” Mr. Eren said that he “feels that the forthcoming battles of the world are to be won in the Colleges and Universities.” Mr. Eren commented briefly on Charlotte College. The speaker said that most of the world is confused about the Middle East and that reports com ing from there have been misrep resented to such a point that a false picture is formed to Ameri cans. He described the Middle East as “a volcano ripe for eruption.” Mr. Eren erased the doubts of communism in the Middle East and stressed that the trend is strictly towards the free world. Mr. Phen presented an informa tive and interesting history of his country and its surrounding neigh bors. QUIPS; OLD AND NEW, MOSTLY OLD 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. GOSSIP Hey have you been down to the Owl’s Roost lately ? That jdace is really sharp now. It has been painted and redecorated. If you haven’t been down there you real ly are missing something. The Jimmy Kilgo Danceland was a big success. Barbara Duckworth and Larry Redman were seen to gether and they seemed to be hav ing a great time. The Presbyterian nurses came to the dance and snowed a few C.C. boys. Johnny, Roy, and Bill seem to be making the hospital their new home. Jimmy Thomas has been seen hanging around United Artists Studio. Wonder what is so interest ing around there. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Arnold who have a new baby girl at their house. Fletcher says she can almost walk and she is only a week old. Frances Robinson has been seen with George Leventis. What is it all about Frances? We would like to know what Nancy Fisher does in her free time. What’s his name Nancy ? There isn’t much gossip this week so I guess I will stop here. If you know any gossip just let Pat Faulk ner or any member of the Col legian staff know and they will give it to me. Maybe next time your name will appear in the paper. FACULTY HOSTS TO STUDENTS AT COFFEE HOUR The Charlotte College faculty was the host to the Charlotte Col lege student body at C.C.’s last cof fee hour of the winter quarter. The teachers did a wonderful job in preparing, executing, and clean ing up for the students’ enjoy ment. The big point of the coffee hour was the use of the school’s new silver tea set and new table cloth. Miss Cone and her fellow educa tors had every reason to be proud of these beautiful possessions. Along with the throngs of stu dents who were wonderfully and fully served, the faculty was the entertainers of the husbands and wives of the faculty and also of the Advisory Board. Coffee, cook ies and sandwiches were the delica cies which the guests were served. I would like to take the privi lege of thanking the faculty on behalf of the student body for such a wonderful and delightful “get-to gether.” W'e, the student body, will have to retaliate with another cof fee hour and dedicate it to our faculty. Again I would like to ex press the students’ appreciation.
