Open Forum PROFILE: Bin Reid by Jerry Rich The young man with the sandy- yet-reddish hair and the bright eyes spoke with a warm glow in his voice as he said, “Charlotte College definitely has an unlimited future in fulfulling a great need which is just beginning to be met.” In his pleasant Skyland Road home. Bill Reid, C.C.’s Alumni and Public Relations Director, was be ing subjected to one of the results of achievement — the personal in terview. And it was my pleasure to be the interviewer. A graduate of Central High School, the new C.C. official is a 1957 graduate of Charlotte College. He graduated from Davidson in June, 1959, with a major in Political Science and a B plus average and has since served in a full-time position as assistant to the presid ent of Cole Manufacturing Co. This job, coupled with his Char lotte College post and duties as a lieutenant in the Air National Guard—with 9 years of active and inactive duty—leaves very little time for other activities. He does, however, manage to work some wedding solos and special vocaliz ing (he studied voice for two years) into his busy schedule. All this, and time to devote to a wife (Eligabeth) and two children (Kathy, 4, and Timmy,1)! At Charlotte College, Bill was president of the student body, secretary-treasurer of Sigma Lam bda Chi, chairman of the Assem bly Committee, recipient of the Bill Mitchell Award, and recipient of the Sigma Tau Sigma Award. His most lingering fame will per haps be that of the composer of C.C.’s Alma Mater. In discussing his duties in the newly-created Charlotte College assignment, this earnest young man with the disarming smile mentioned that the job included the co-ordinating of news releases, speaking at luncheons and other meetings, and the co-ordinating of alumi activities such as fund drives, meetings, etc. “From working with alumni,’’ he said, '1 have come in contact with the fact that most of Charlotte College’s grad uates go on to senior colleges, where they make a good scholastic showing.” Expressing his opinions on the future of Charlotte College, he emphasized that progress has been a bit slow at first because there is somewhat of a contrast between C.C.’s funds and its needs. “Once tangible assets are established, more support may come. I look forward to the possibility of a four-year school eventually.” He ended the interview with the statement that “When I begin to think that I am working hard and start feeling sorry for myself, I stop and think how hard Miss Cone has worked through the years on behalf of Charlotte Col lege, and then somehow I don’t feel quite so tired or quite so sorry for myself.” Student Council News The Charlotte College Student Council met in room 1-3 at 8:00 on November 10, 1959. Vice-President Jim LaRoach presided. Tommy Cornelius, chairman of the Assembly Committee, asked the Council’s opinion on assemblies for next year. He said that by January, 1961, the college should be in its new building and that there will be no auditorium. Be cause of the inconvenience of giving up two class periods to come into town for an assembly, it was suggested that an artist be signed for only the fall quarter and that the 1960-61 Student Council decide about the other two quar ters. Ed Silber suggested that the students be polled again about their choice of assemblies. Johnny McManus, Elections Committee chairman, reported that Freshman Class elections had been held on November 5 and that five representatives had been elected; Emily Crabtree, Ann Settlemyre, Jerry McManus, Bobby Sadler, and Kay Combs. He said that run-offs for president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer would be held on November 11. Later elected: Howard Payne, Jimmy Latane, and Dicky Latty. Jerry Williams’ motion to approve the members of the Election Com mittee, submitted by the chairman, was carried. Ed Singleton reported that there was to be a dance in the cafeteria on November 14 from 9-12 and that the Christmas dance would be held in the ESSO building on December 19. He submitted the names of his com mittee members for the Council’s approval. Miss English was ap- aproved as advisor to the Social Committee. The members of the annual staff were approved. Gray Idol report ed that there were still some 350 students who had not had their pictures made for the annual and that the Brumfields would have to come back at the beginning of the winter quarter. He said his staff had taken bids for only 100 pages and that they were already short of pages. He also stated that they were considering having each club sponsor a girl in the annual and at the Christmas dance, where one girl would be chosen queen. Deanna Merrell reported that 14 people had tried out for cheer leader in front of the basketball team on October 10th and that seven had been eleected. She said that Carol Hunter and Malinda Huss had dropped, so that at pres ent there were five Cheerleaders; Nancy Miller, head, Sarah Free man, Onita Long, Kay Combs, and Ann Hilton. Carol Hunter said that they had planned gray uni forms with red or maroon letters. Deanna Merrell recommended that in the future the election of cheer leaders be turned over to the Elections Committee as a student election at the end of the spring quarter. Ed Silber .reported that he and Ed Singleton had called a meeting af day students interest- in additional activities and that no one had shown up. The dis cussion on this topic was tabled.

Jim LaRoach stated that he, Ed Philips, and Mrs. Winningham had attended the V,irginia - Carolina regional meeting of the National Students Association in Durham and that they would advise Char lotte College to join. He pointed out tha» the dues are about$30 a year. Deanna Merrell’s motion that Charlotte College join NSA was carried. After discussion of the possi bility of baseball or tennis at Charlotte College, John Yandle and Ed Silber were appointed to investigate the possibilities for a team and the cost involved.. To The Editor: The issue of this paper of No vember 6th was interesting in that several tables of figures w*re given on the breakdow^n of the student body as to curricula, high school attended, etc. By going a little further, it can be shown that if you add the Engineering, Science, and Technology students, this total represents over 46% of the student body. Or, in other words, almost half of the students body is taking a Scientific curriculum. After reading the preceeding paragraph, does it amaze you that there are absolutely no extra curricular activities for the tech nical student? It amazes me 1! Last quarter a Physical Science Club was started. A small group of students had dinner meeting, lectures, a trip to Morehead Plan etarium, etc. It has now been dis banded because of lack of interest. Isn’t it amazing to you that there is such a lack of technical activities here, when right here in Charlotte in the High Schools and Junior High Schools the kids are building cyclotrons, radio Tele scopes, 5 stage liquid fuel rockets with guidance systems, and analog computers? It amazes me!! A trip to a high school science fair would amaze you. I can’t name another college where half of the student body follow a technical curriculum, where there is’t at least one student En gineers Qub Or Science Club. How many Engineering students are interested in the activities of the United Nations, or dressing like girls and hitting each other with paddles? Let’s reorganize the Science Qub. Brian Honess THE MOTORISTS’ PRAYER Grant me a steady hand and watchful eye. That no man shall be hurt when I pass by. Thou gravest Life: I pray no act of mine May take away or mar this gift of Thine. Teach me to use my car for others need Nor ever miss, through any love of speed. The beauties of Thy world — and thus I may With joyous heart and courtesy go my way. Anonymous Ed Philips said that the Honor System had been presented to the faculty and that there had been many lengthy comments concern ing it.
