SHULC KOF UOY FEBRUARY 25, 1957 Col. Reilly Addresses Students Page 4 A New Experience It was after my first year of studies at the New York University that I decided to look for a job according to my poor knowledge in the English language. It was summer time in New York, and it was impossible to stand the heat and the constant humidity of the city; so these factors made my mind up to decide on a job outside of New York. I thought of trying to get a job in some of those resort places up in the New England States, but my efforts were futile. I did not have any experience whatsoever. Finally, I decided to go and talk to the Adviser of Foreign Students at the University; he recommended that I go and see one of the direc tors of a private Summer Camp. This was the way I got my first job as a Junior Counselor in one of the most famous summer camps in the country, Camp Lenox. Camp Lenox is located in the heart of the Berkshires, about 1,400 feet above sea level, in the locality that carries the name of East Lee, in the State of Massachusetts. This is just the place for a person who wants to get away from the noisy and crowded city of New York, a place which offers a person a healthy atmosphere for a joyful summer. I was assigned Counselor of the Junior group—a wonderful group of boys, the best in the whole camp. To tell you the truth, I enjoyed every minute of those eight weeks as much as my boys did. The boys at Camp Lenox were filled with many sport activities— such as baseball, canoeing, swim ming, basketball, softball, archery, etc.—to meet the needs and inter ests of each l>oy. For the first time in my life I was enjoying my work, devoting most of my time to the teaching of skill at all levels in sports. When I got to know my boys better and found out how far they could follow me, I introduced a new game to them and also a new game to the entire camp; this game was soccer. It was quite a task for only one man, but after many days of practicing and after learning the basic rules of the game, my boys were doing wonderfully well in the field. The adoption of soccer at Camp came to be one of the major activities. I feel that it was the most important factor in my hav ing such a wonderful “summer va cation” at Camp. Marco Perez (Editor’s Note: Marco Perez is from Lima, Peru.) MISS CONE (Continued from page 1) Cone was an instructor at Duke University; she was a mathematics instructor in the Navy’s V-12 pro gram. While teaching at Duke, she had the distinction of being the only woman teacher on the men’s campus. Charlotte College has prospered under the leadership of Miss Cone and any honor that she receives will be small compared to the amount of service that she has given to her fellow citizens. (Continued from page 2) ported by his eyebrows and a pipe in his mouth bitten almost in half. He is immediately attended by Tay lor Hill, el mozo (the waiter). El ingles orders a bowl of pinto bean soup with hot pepper sauce. While waiting on his soup, our friend ties his bib around his neck. In a few minutes, el mozo brings in the soup; el ingles looks at it and says, “I can’t eat this stuff.”—(In Spanish of course). This shocking statement brings forth Bob Butler, el primer mozo (the head waiter). El primer mozo fails to understand the complaint. El ingles persists, “I can’t eat this soup!” El cocinero (the cook), Vickie Eagle is sum moned. He models the latest fash ions for the chef. Hurt and angry because his excellent soup has been insulted, el cocinero goes to el dueno (the owner), Johnny Craig. ?j1 dueno and employees of the cafe flock around the bowl of soup inspecting it with a flashlight and splashing it around with a fork. Finally, el ingles breaks down and tells them he can’t eat it l>ecause he doesn't have a spoon. We figured it was something like that, since Vickie makes the best pinto bean soup in the Spanish Club. See what fun you can have at club meetings! That was great, boys! Bill Reid gave an interesting reading on “Mexico Today” and “Aztec Holi day.” Our Southern neighbors are quite interesting people. Then came the eats—mmmm, everything was very good! Congratuations to the Spanish Club on their successful meetinp:. Your clubs’ editor understands that the French Club is planning an interesting program in the near fu ture. Look for this, write-up in the' next issue. Harold Kellams moderated the topic, “Why They Behave Like Russians,” at a recent meeting of the Discussion Club. Various com ments came from the members on actions of the Russians. Russian leaders and our co-existence with Russia were also discussed. The Discussion Club represents the in terest in international and national affairs or topics by C. C. students. Although I don’t feel able to con tribute to the discussion, I find the meetings interesting and informa tive. “What Should Our College Educational Goals Be?” is the next topic for debate by the club. Those who would like to participate or listen are invited to attend. Club life at Charlotte College is more active this quarter than last. Stay with it; The Collegian is be hind you 100%. Colonel James E. Reilley, Com mander of the Charlotte Air Re serve Center, was the guest speak er at an assembly program held in the Charlotte College Auditorium on February 7, 1957. Colonel Reilly presented his views about an area of the world that is of important interest to everyone—The Middle East. Colonel Reilly’s study of and travel in this area make him an informative speaker. After attending the Industrial War College of the Armed Forcea (now known as the National Re sources Conference), he served on its faculty. While serving as a member of the faculty of the In dustrial War College, Colonel Reilly addressed units of the three serv ices, various men’s clubs, and busi ness groups throughout the United States. Previous to his assignment in Charlotte, Colonel Reilly was sta- StLident News Service Hits C. C. Charlotte College has recently adopted a program w'hich is being used by the larger colleges and universities — the Student News Service. In applying the S. N. S. to C. C., this plan would unite the three media of advertising at the college. Representatives from the Publicity Committee, Radio Com mittee and The Charlotte Collegian — two from each— form this or ganization. The S. N. S. will co ordinate news and publicity from these three groups. This will elimi nate the confusion, omission, and overlapping of news, which has oc curred in the past. Files will be kept of scripts, photos, and other publicity information for distribu tion to outside agencies. Following Miss Cone’s approval of the Student News Service, this plan was presented to the Student Council for consideration by Tom Huskins, originator of the idea for Charlotte College. At the following meeting, the S. N. S. on a trial basis was passed unanimously by the Council members. The Student News Service is an other step in the growth of Char lotte College.

In Europe, Colo nel Reilly first served as the Chief of the Air Force Branch of the Mili tary Defense program which evalu ated the countries receiving aid from the United States. Later, he was transferred to the Southern Area in the same capacity; his du ties in the Southern Area gave him the opportunity to observe the political situation as it exists in the Middle East today. In his lecture, Colonel Reilly pointed out three important facts about the Middle East. The strate gic location of the area, the eco nomic prospects of the various countries, and the great oil fields that exist in the Middle East were the points that Colonel Reilly’s lec ture was centered around. Colonel Reilly’s address added much to our knowledge of the Middle East and her people. Earth Satellite Hy Jack Moore The blanket of the stratosphere will be disturbed several times in the present geo-physical year which extends into 1958. Miscellaneous primary disturb ances by man will begin with the launchings of high altitude rockets for meteorological, military, and general scientific purposes. Mem bers of British scientific societies will reverberate Christmas Island and the air layers above the island with a thermonuclear test in Feb ruary or March. However, scientific interest in tests w’ill not reach a maximum this year until an attempted satel lite penetration through the strato sphere is made from a Florida launching site. The tracking of the satellite by the Charlotte Astrono mers’ Club, by other groups in the United States, and by world scien tific groups will provide data to determine more exact diameters of the earth, more accurate contents of upper air layers, and more cor rect details of solar bombardment upon an air envelope. A successful earth satellite launching this year is the vision of true scientists in Charlotte and in many parts of the world. Anyone with the courage to ex plore a small segment of outer space can use this opportunity to share in a program for increase of geo-physical knowledge. Any stu dent with a keen scientific mind may volunteer for the program by contacting The Charlotte Amateur Astronomers’ Club directly or through the Mint Museum Director. Initiation Over There are four young men at Charlotte College that ar« happy that Pledge Week is over. These young men are to be taken into Sigma Lambda Chi fraternity on Wednesday, February 20. The Sig ma Lambda Chi admits new mem bers on the basis of personality, lead»rship, and character. Jon Bass, Greg Hopping, Bill Poole, and Ger ald Autry are the pledges who are to be admitted into the fraternity during the Winter Quarter. Mem bers of the Sigma Lambda Chi are now looking for pledges for the Spring Quarter. The men who are to be pledged will be notified in the near future. A Letter To Husbands Dear, Gentlemen: C. C. has the potentials for one of the most influential organizations in college life. No, it isn’t you; it’s your wives. At the present time, C. C. wives are active only through you; but if united, these ladies could not only promote Charlotte College, but could be included in more of the college’s activities. These women have been neglected in college activities, for we have often failed to acknowledge their contributions made through their hus bands, students of the college. Once organized, C. C. wives could be a strong force in advancing the college. In turn, C. C. could open its doors and give these women a chance to become a recognized part of the college. Please make this suggestion to your wife and let us know her opinion o« such an idea. Thank you. Gay Hinson, Clubs Editor
