Ye Olde Unsung Hero Dep’t FROM THE EXCHANGE DESK THE GABOR BROTHER BY GP:KAM)INE loveless Collegian Staff Writer (This is the fourth and last in a series of articles concerning our foreign students at Charlotte Col lege.) From Budapest, Hungary, to Charlotte College—that’s quite a trip, but it’s one that Joel Gabor (no relation to Zza Zza) seems happy he made. Joel is pursuing a Chemical En gineering course here and hopes to continue his studies after gradua tion. He is currently employed with Koppen Chemicals, Inc., working with chemicals and dyestuffs. Away from tubes, bottles, and oth er chemical paraphernalia, he likes to experiment with photography. Naturally, his hobby is related to chemicals, but in a slightly dif ferent and more enjoyable way. He chose Charlotte College be cause of the courses offered and the convenience of attending classes after work. Despite a full time job and a full schedule of classes, Joel also is overcoming the barrier of a strange language. All in all, we think he deserves a pat on the back, and we’re very glad to have him with us. TV become the College’s first grad uates in the Electronics Technolo gy program. As a demonstration, the class, under the direction of instructor T. K. Bush, presented a progress report by Mr. Murray Adkins, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Charlotte Community System, to the student body. The class was at a disadvantage in not having time to make the necessary prep arations; however, the program was a success. Southern Radio Corporation loan ed the college a new RCA receiver in order that the student body could see the telecast. Closed circuit television has many applications in industry to day. The system is used extensive ly by banks, large department stores, trucking lines, assembly line-type plants, and nightwatch- men. The angelic-looking person above is none other than that irresistible, irreplaceable George Killough, the Collegian’s nomination for “Un sung Hero of the Year.’’ In this, his third year at CC, the Charlotte native served as Editor of the Col legian for the fall quarter. His duties as photographer for the an nual plus a tough scholastic sched ule forced him to resign his edi torial position at the end of that quarter. Since then, he has been photographer for the Collegian. Last year, he was chairman of the Assembly Committee, in addi tion to working on the annual. He was al.so .As.sociate Editor of the Collegian. George, a graduate of Central High School, has worked as a beau tician and a photographer, and has worked in the college office. A science major, George will be gin his junior year at the Univer sity of North Carolina next year. Pardon the corn, but here’s hop ing U.N.C. will be even happier hunting grounds for the great white chief of photography. BY SAM BELL Collegian Exchange Editor How many people can you stuff into a telephone booth? There has been a campaign by a few of our fellow colleges to find out. It seems that the contest rules originated in England. The booth has to be of regulation size and the person in the middle has to be able to make a phone call. Ryerson Tech tied the record a few weeks ago with 19. M.I.T., using their “scientific method,” were able to cram 19 in also but their booth was over-sized and they were disqualified. Another case of an over-sized booth occurred at the University of Alberta’s Calgary. They got 40 in it. Modesto, a Cali fornia junior college, laid the booth on its side 34 people were able to get into it. There was a flood of arms and legs all over the front lawn of the school when the booth sides broke. So far, according to my research, the record is 22. It was set by St. Mary’s two weeks ago. Last week a college claimed 36. They were using “fractional stuffing” which, of course, is strictly against all ethics of phone booth cramming. I have heard some rumors that there might possibly be an “ugly man” contest staged by the col lege. This will never happen though, because there would be too much competition between this re- "All The Latest Record Hits" Parker Gardner Co. 118 W.

Riddle: Who turned the abstract in the student lounge upside down? Wonder if anybody has noticed it yet. - EDWARDS - you would be surprised at the amount of rest I get. My dreams are balanced on the tightrope of world affairs and not very steadi ly, to say the least. Mom says I’m lazy but Dad, rather than admit defeat as my “up-bringer,” calls it “unchannel ed interest.” “Fet yourself a set goal, son,” he advises, “and don’t let up till you reach it.” Contemplating my fate as a man, I have reached this somewhat odd but reasonable conclusion: I would like to go and live on the moon. Now, before you think t’ve lost my mental roadmap, I’d like to ex plain, as best I can, my reasons for this strange desire. I don’t want to give you the il lusion that I wish to be the first person on the moon. Rather, I would settle for the hundredth po sition, just so long as I get there. It’s not fame that I’m after. I guess I just want a little peace. I’ve struggled through this “swamp” known as the teenage years for about seven years now, and I believe that I’m stuck in the mire. I can’t see a way of escape, so, to all you cats in the same con dition, I’ll just say “See you on the moon, man!” ALL AROUND THE TOWN I work harder every day to protect health, prevent accidents, guard your streets and buildings, raise production in your shops and factories, add comfort, convenience and leisure in your homes.
