Loretta Young Business Manager Fred Collins Circulation Manager John Richardson Faculty Sponsor Mr. Rupert Gillett Vol. 9 No. 6 Published by the students of Charlotte College, Charlotte, North Carolina EDITORIALS Collegian Congratulates Students For Attention May we of The Collegian heartily commend you of the student body for your attendance at the recent concert by Mr. Raul Spivak, and for your generous applause. We share your high opinion of Mr. Spivak’s virtuosity; we feel that we have been privileged to hear the work of a master. After his performance Mr. Spivak commented that he was aware that he was playing to an appreciative audience. We feel that when artists are received in this manner, they carry with them a high opinion of our college and our community. We are not an isolated group, immured within impene trable walls, our reputation, good or adverse, is determined by our conduct in our dealing with other people, particularly people of na tional or international renown such as Mr. Spivak. W'e have given a good account of ourselves, and we of The Collegian are justifiably proud. Charlotte College is now on the threshold of what can be the greatest expansion in its history; our conduct as stu dents may exert considerable in fluence on its growth and can mean a great deal to future students, as well as ourselves, as Charlotte Col lege increases its area of service to the community of which we are a part. Good Luck Frank Garner The Charlotte Collegian wishes to congratulate Frank Garner on a job well done during his term as Treasurer of the Student Council. We are sorry to lost Frank because he was one of the most outstand ing students at Charlotte College this year. Frank stepped into fill the vacated position of Treasurer when Marvin Pridgen failed to re turn to school last Fall. Graduation has taken Frank away from us, but his excellent job as Treasurer will be remembered for many years. Congratulations to you again Frank and best of luck in anything and everything that you might un dertake. =Hetter5 TJke I, as a student of Charlotte Col lege, wish to commend the student body for its ravid attention during the concert given by Mr. Raul Spi vak. Concerts and artists of this magnitude are rare occasions which should be taken advantage of by every conscientious student. It is appalling indeed, however, that students of this college must be made to attend such concerts. We must come to the realization that our cultural education is as important as our literal education. This letter is not a rebuke to ward the intelligence of the stu dents, but merely a reminder that we are neglecting a vital facet in our never-ceasing drive toward a broader education. Let there be the day when the auditorium will be filled to capacity with willingly attending students. Signed, JOHN BALLARD I am glad to see our Collegian on schedule once again. We realize the tremendous work involved in getting out such a publication and we are aware of the lack of assist ance to the editors. The Collegian has a good publication, probably one of the best of its kind in the South. Students should be anxious to help in the publication of such a paper. The editors should be given medals of honor for coming out at all with the tremendous lack of assistance that has prevailed in the past. The latest news has it that you are now coming out bi-weekly in stead of the previously announced tri-weekly schedule. I’ll bet that the NO-DOZE Company is experi encing a rise in sales. Best of luck to you and your understaffed pa per. I hope the profs take it easy on you when they catch you dozing in class. Signed, E. B, REPORT By CHARLES COUCH I am particularly grateful to Mrs. Winningham for aid on the composition of material for this is sue. Without her help this paper would probably still be in the plan ning stages. With elections coming up on the liOth of this month perhaps a re minder would be in oi’der: study the candidates carefully and vote. The officers you elect will govern Charlotte College all next year. Choose wisely, and vote. The Collegian wholeheartedly ap proves of the action taken by the student body in approving the re vised constitution. The old one was antiquated many times in the years since it was written, and had been amended so often that the original meaning was lost in the shuffle. It is impossible for rules and laws set up to govern a few to supervise conduct for many. Barring unforseen circumstances, the graduation issue should be the best paper we have given you all year. Plans for it have been in preparation since last July, at the Collegian’s first organizational meeting. We hope that it will help make up in some small way for all the faults we have had this year. The many small mistakes in the last issue were not the fault of either the Collegian or its asso ciates. Being overwhelmingly pressed for time, we were unable to proof the galleys. And don’t worry, the staff caught every er ror. Perhaps it is a sign that our paper is being read thoroughly that so many students caught the mistakes also. Religion The Love Of Christ LaRoach Takes Treasurer Post By Bob Robertson The Student Government Associ ation of Charlotte College has re cently selected James LaRoach to serve as its Treasurer for the re mainder of the Spring Quarter. LaRoach is filling a vacuum cre ated by the graduation from school of Frank Garner. La Roach, born in Lockport, N. Y., in 1927, graduated from Lock port High School in 1946. As a stu dent there he was an active mem ber of the track team. Since moving to Charlotte in 1950, LaRoach has been employed as a sales representative by Sou thern Bell Telephone and Tele graph Company. He is married, and he and his wife and three chil dren attend Dilworth Methodist Church. At Charlotte College LaRoach is studying Business Adminstration and is aiming toward administra tive work with Southern Bell. Dickie Matthews, President of the Student Government, said that he felt fortunate in being able to j secure the services of LaRoach in I filling this important position. “The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament show- eth his handiwork.” Psalms 19:1 The tiny green buds on every twig, the velvet carpets of grass speckled with dandelions and vio lets, soft breezes amidst the gentle rays of sunlight tell us that Spring has come! Spring, with its feelings and emotions unknown at any other time ... a warm, loving time . . . a God-breathed time! We stretch forth our hands to ward the sunrise—golden and crisp accented by the chippering birds and dew-kissed earth. Our eyes, our hearts are filled with love , . . love of life, love of God. We stand awe-stricken by the purple fire of sunset which casts a shadow of glory on all in its path . . . Our hearts sing out “The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness there of; the world and they that dwell therein.” How full of earth’s beauty David must have felt as he sang: “O Lord our Lord, how excel lent is thy name in all the earth! Who has set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, and that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the sun of man that thou visitest the son of man that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; the fowl of the air and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 0 Lord our Lord, how excel lent is thy name in all the earth!” How full are we of God’s riches and glories! Let us sing with the' hymnist: “For the beauty of the earth, for the beauty of the skies, For the love which from our birth over and around us lies . . Lord of all to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.” Robertson And Cruse Continued From Page 1 When contacted about the nomi nation, Cruse, 29, said, “For one to be nominated to the office of Vice- President of the Student govern ment is indeed an honor, and I am humbly grateful for it. Should the student body see fit to elect me to this important office my foremost endeavor will be to work with my fellow officers, the faculty, and the students of Charlotte College in an effort to promote a bigger and bet ter program. “If elected, I intend to expend any effort deemed necessary that will raise to a new height the po sition, prestige, and appreciation of Charlotte College. This I will do to the very limit of my ability.” Robertson, 23, graduated from Harding High School in 1953, and was on the honor roll there. He is a member of the Christian and CCUN Active Continued from page 1 methods by which our aims and ideals can be put into actual effect. It is the privilege and it is the duty of college men and women to play a leading part in this work. By organizing student activities on behalf of the United Nations, the COLLEGIATE COUNCIL for the UNITED NATIONS is rendering a most valuable service. Delegations from the Charlotte College CCUN have made trips to two model UN assemblies, in Ra leigh and Greensboro. Members al so attended several planning ses sions for the organization of a North Carolina District CCUN. Discussions and renowned speak ers, such as Eleanor Roosevelt, have enlightened the group on world affairs. Under the leadership of Reggie Adams, chairman, the Charlotte College CCUN has joined with neighboring colleges to form an intercollegiate council of CCUN. Missionary Alliance Church. In reference to his nomination, Robertson said, “The continued growth of Charlotte College does and will require a Student Govern ment Association which is wide awake, active, and progressive. Should I be elected to serve on this association it is my intention to stimulate and encourage these qual ities whenever opportunities arise, and to the best of my ability to pro mote and support all programs beneficial to our college.” Under the terms of the new con stitution, the vice-president of the student government will be in charge of all student council meet ings, and he will have it in his power to call these meetings. Thus, the office has gained new stature, and will require that much more time. May 17 Is Spring Dance The Freshman Class of Charlotte College cordially extends an invi-, tation to all students to attend a dance to be held Saturday, May 17, from 8:30 until 11:30, at the Vet eran’s Club on East Morehead Street. The dance will be semi-for mal. Neil Griffith’s Band will provide the music for the occasion. The Spring Dance is an annual affair at College, and has always been the best attended and most successful social event of the year. It is presented as a graduation gift from the freshmen to the sopho- ' mores, although both groups are invited. Faculty members are also invited. Admission charge has already been paid in the activity fee.
