February 11, 1959 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN Poge 3 Deanna Merril's Freshman Gab... INSPIRING PEOPLE You meet them everywhere at Charlotte College—in the halls, in the classrooms—everywhere. You speak to people who, after many years, have decided to continue their schooling; people who know what it means to have to work to go to college; people who, lacking a good education, have found the going rough in business. Such peo ple as Russell Chappel, a retired Air Force major; Trula Booth, the mother of two children; and many, many more C. C. students will im press you with their sincerity and their desire to learn, because they know just how important an edu cation is. They serve as inspira tions to those of us who are just beginning our lives and our ca reers. I am happy to be at Char lotte College and to know people who, encouraging me and others to continue working and learning, convince me that an education IS worth the trouble. Okay, I’m shutting up; but I AM loyal. Someone who is always smiling —Kanela Maydanis. Can you Count?. I get lost when I run out of fingers and toes, so I am not sure about how many pairs of shoes Violet Gilbert has. Let me know, will you? (Mr. Editor, won't that make interesting news ?) Have to get this in: Congratula tions to the almost new Freshman officers, 'specially Johnny Me. Something I expected to see, but never did: students carrying ham mers in to Miss Lafferty’s History I class to “nail down” a few facts. A round of applause for Bobby Allen and A1 Palmer for keeping the Owl’s Roost going for all of us starving no-supper students. Bobby is also responsible for the coke and cracker machines in the student lounge. (Okay, Bobby, there is the plug. Now where are j my donuts?) (Memo from Editor to Business Manager; remember to bill the Roost for advertising.) A prediction, after seeing the new teacher; There will be three times as many accounting students next quarter. Take a look at Mr. Higgins’ replacement in room 106 and see what I mean. Who will be the first to sign a petition to tear out the English classrooms to make more room for parking? (I don’t really mean that Miss Baker, ah. Miss Denny, Miss Fore, and, ah, any other English teacher who might be listening.) See you next issue. Happy Val entine’s! LOAN FUND IS NOW AVAILABLE Charlotte College’s Student Council has appropriated $250.00 for use in the Student Loan Fund. This brings the amount in the fund to nearly $400.00. The loan fund was originated last year with a gift from a sup porter of the college. Several small donations had been received prior to the council’s gift, which repre sented its share of the Owls’ Roost income. Any student of Charlotte Col lege is eligible to apply for a loan from the fund. Definite regulations for distribution have not been set up yet. Tentative plans have the maximum loan to be twenty-five dollars—to be used for books or part tuition—on a short term (thirty days) basis. Instead of in terest, a twenty-five cents service fee has been suggested. The loan fund committee, com posed of Miss English, Miss Rainey, Miss Denny, Wiley, Mar tin, and Jim La Roach, met last Wednesday to discuss plans for the fund’s final set-up. Results of this meeting have not been announced. Coll e g I a n Coed % - « r .-V ^ % // You're Interested... BY BILLY CARDEN Dempsey sat in his corner tapping the canvas restlessly with the toes of his boxing shoes and curling the tip of his tongue over his dry lips. Sandra dr a eur (Collegian Photo—Kamsey) “Take it easy,” cautioned Bill Duffy, florid-faced second, “one good shot, the right s.hot, can do it. You’ll find the spot.” “But when ?” wondered Dempsey. The shaggy-browed former heavy weight champion brooded briefly over their fight in Philadelphia . . even when Tunney was the chal lenger, the guy had taken the play right after the opening bell with a right hand chop on the jaw, and then in the rain that disconcerting routine—left jab, another jab, move, stop, jab again, move, jab, jab. Now the bell for round seven tnapped Dempsey’s reverie. He jumped up and walked towards the tall, steely-eyed figure moving to ward him from across the ring. Again Tunney’s cautious left hand was kept pumping like a pis ton to maintain a safe distance be tween them. It had been success ful ring generalship but it was making the fight monotonous. And the disappointment was all the keener because these were mag netic circumstances, the dramatic Dempsey seeking revenge on the only man to have beaten him since he’d wrecked Jess Willard at To ledo. All America was absorbed in the event. The ever-cautious Tunney per mitted Dempsey to back him into — Conference — During Friday’s noon hour, the conference toured the proposedd Charlotte College sites, after which the members returned to the library i for discussion of the areas. Friday night, Drs. Colvert, Cor nell, and Wattenbarger spoke on on i special facilities such as libraries, laboratories, television, and lecture rooms. Also discussed were student Continued on Page 4, Column 1 SOPHOMORE SAND HO USE BY JIM MAHAFFEE Have you ever tried to study in the student lounge? Studying in the office on registration day would be more sensible. But, who said the lounge was a study hall anyway? the ropes. Here was the situation Jack had despaired of ever seeing, and its appearance was not lost on the pent-up ex-champion. He brought up a full-armed left hook to the chin . . . Tunney’s clear blue eyes turned cloudy, his mouth assumed a grim ace of distress. He lurched back wards, his guard melting as his sense reeled. All of a sudden, years slipped from Dempsey; his youthful talis man, the capacity to strike once an enemy betrayed weakness, re turned and he closed in with a sav age two-handed barrage. Tunney’s legs turned stiffly un dependable. He sagged to the floor near the ropes, bewilderment on his face as he clutched for the mid dle rope with his left glove. Dempsey, who was fighting by the former set of rules stating that a fighter who has scored a knockdown does not have to pro ceed to a neutral corner, stood over his victim waiting for him to rise. The referee refused to begin count ing until Dempsey went to a neu tral corner. About five seconds had lapsed during this time whtch gave Tunney’s head iime to clear. Upon rising, Tunney immediate ly began to retreat, pumping his left hand into Dempsey’s face con tinuously. Again that precious dis tance was between them and the helplessness of Jack’s task became Hal Edwards From The Sidelines What happened to the Charlotte College basketball team? Word via the grapevine has it that the prob lems of the men on the hardwood were chiefly scholastic. This academic pit-fall, as it was, came about because of the diffi culty the working boys found in snatching time to study. The night ly practices in the Piedmont Junior High gym consumed a consider able part of their normal study time. Having to miss classes for several road trips also proved costly. This situation had no rewards, for the season was a winless one. Lack of height and of support off set the Owls’ spirited play. Good- luck for a successful attempt next year, fellows! ail too apparent. The seventh round was over before Jack could set his sights for even one more good one. In the eighth, Gene, once more his cautious self, had his one-two punches going beautifully, jaixing Dempsey down to his spent legs. A right hand sent Jack to a knee for one count. In the tenth and final round, he had Dempsey grog gy from repeated stabs at the head. There could not have been the slightest possibility of doubt as to Tunney’s winning the decision; and there was not one whisper of com plaint from Dempsey’s corner. But bitter controversy did break loose over the seventh round and what has become prodigiously fa mous as “the long count.” Cuban Cutie | C. C. Coed (This article is third in a series j introducing our foreign students to i the student body.) | Nora Leza needs little or no in troduction to the C.C. scholars, since she has been trudging up and down the halls with the rest of us for quite some time. She came j to us from Havana, Cuba, when | she was a blushing fifteen. From | nine ’till five, she works for Mor- i ris Speizman Export Company, while managing her own Char lotte Translating Bureau on the, side. Nora has a good command of several languages, but when speak ing English she carries over the Latin habit of “speaking with the hands” at a mile a minute. Her I well-spread fluency prompts her ambition to be an interpreter with the State Department. I Our Cuban cutie is well-versed ^ on foreign affairs—political and economical—and has her finger in almost every C.C.U.N. pie. After the recent trip to New York with this group, Nora returned bub bling over with tales of the United Nations in session, the Russian Consulate, and Greenv/ich Village, in that order. Being Cuban, Nora has a flair for Latin dances and has given some very enjoyable performances. "Facilities" Cont. asked about her supreme desire for Charlotte College, she replied: “Of course we are very happy over what we have already—the site and appropriations—although they are not quite as large as desired. My supreme desire for the college is to have enough space and ade quate facilities to serve the needs of our students. Our facilities should be second to none in the county.” Among the “men” of the sopho more class, I have noticed a few with a premature middle age spread. Could this be due to that foamy liquid that I see them drink ing at some of the favorite spots? If you see any of these “paunchy” “Anderson’s,” “Hitching Post,” “Circle,” “Hoot Mon,” or the “Tap Room” ring any bells. If you have trouble finding these fellows, look for guys with initials such as W.R.B., H.W., T.W., G.P.L., J.S.M., and F.S. “Wanna” do something just for kicks ? Try four subjects at C.C. and a forty-hour week all at the same time. It’s good medicine for those who get bored easily! (P. S. Also a good way to die young.)
