Candidates’
Qualifications
Announced
EDITORIAL
Tlie student body has nominated
candidates for the Student Council
and has, we think, chosen wisely
We congratulate each nominee.
The process of nomination, how
ever, is only a preliminary. Re
sponsibility for electing members
to fill the offices on the Student
Council still rests upon each stu
dent at Charlotte College.
Having given careful consider’
ation to each of those nominated,
we now wish to point out the
qualifications of those we believe
will best serve as members of our
Student Government Association.
For PRESIDENT we endorse
HOWARD PAYNE. Currently
serving as President of the Fresh
man Class, Howard has shown an
intense interest in the betterment
of the College and a desire to carry
out the wishes of the students he
represents. In regiular attendance
as a voting member of the Student
Council, he has consistently voted
for the expressed desires of the
student body.
Presently a day-student, Howard
will become an evening student
during his proposed tenure as
Presiden, while pursuing his stu
dies in engineering. This, we think,
will give him a balanced cross-
section of student opinion.
A member of various com
mittees, Howard has been named
to the dean’s list consistently since
enrolling at CC. He is a member
of Iota Lambda Chapter of Phi
Theta Kappa and the college,
chorus. For these reasons, we
believe that Howard is the besti
man for the job of President.
For VICE-PRESIDENT w o
solicit your consideration of BOB
SADLER. Bob is at present a re
presentative of the Freshman Class
to the Student Council. He held
the offices of President and Vice-
president of his high school home
rooms. Conscientious and alert to
the desires of the student body,
Bob, we think, will bring to the
office of Vice-President those
qualities necessary for this office.
Bob attends the day school.
ANN SETTLEMYRE is our
choice for SECRETARY. She is
a representative to the Student
Council, appears on the dean’s list,
is a member of Iota Lambda
Chapter of - Phi Theta Kappa and
sings with the college chorus.
We feel that Ann will serve con
scientiously as Secretary. A part-
time assistant to the librarian, Ann
has classes in both the day and
evening schools.
BILL HICKS, we believe, will
serve honorably as TREASURER,
.''i member of the social committee
and the college chorus. Bill is well-
known as a dili|g«nt and honest
student. A new aspirant to college
student government. Bill served on
various committees and held sev
eral student government positions
while in high school. He attends
classes in both the day and even
ing schools.
All other nominees were asked
by the Collegian to make any
statements they wished to hare
published. No statements other
than these had been received at
press time.

Among the many calendared
events that accompany the advent
of spring is the election of the
students body’s Executive Council
for the comingi year. The “Alumni
Review” takes pleasure in re
introducing several of this council’s
past members.
Bill Reid, past president of the
Council in 1956, attended Charlotte
College as a Business Administra
tion major, receiving his A. A.
degree in 1957.
An outstanding contributor to
our school’s heritage, Mr. Reid
also served as chairman of the as
sembly committee, secretary-
treasurer of Sigma Lambda Chi,
as a member of the Spanish Club,
and as a member of Sigma Tau
Sigma.
Mr. Reid also received the Bili
Mitchell Award and J. W.Wool-
folk Scholarship.
Expressing his musical talent,
Mr. Reid is probably best remem
bered as the author and composer
of the Charlotte College Alma
Mater.
Mr. Reid received his B. A. de
gree from Davidson College in 1959,
and is now an assistant to the
president of the Cole Manufactur
ing Company.
Robert Jerry Martin, past presi
dent of the council in 1954, received
his A. A. degree from Charlotte
College in the same year. Also a
receiver of the Bill Mitchell Award,
a member of Sigma Lambda Chi,
and a member of the basketball
team, Mr. Martin was quite active
in Charlotte College affairs.
Mr. Martin received his B. S.
degree in Marketing from the
University of North Carolina in
1956. He is presently employed in
the sales division of E. I. DuPont
de Nemours and Company.
Mrs. Louella Robinson Foust,
past secretary of the council in
1955, received her A. A. degree
from Charlotte College in the same
year. A holder of a Delta Kappa
Gamma Scholarship, Mrs. Foust
received her A. B. degree in
Education from the University of
North Carolina in 1957. While at
the university, she was a member
of Phi Beta Kappa scholarship
Fraternity.
Since her graduation in 1957,
Mrs. Foust has served as assistant
secretary in the History Depart
ment at Chapel Hill, secretary in
the Supervisor’s office of the Char
lotte City School System, Bible
teacher at West High in Charlotte,
and part time secretary for Char
lotte College.
The “Alumni Review” is interest
ed in all that our friends of yester-i
day are doing. We will welcome)
any bit of news you might have
about our past Charlotte College
men and women.
The Editor’s Desk
I wish to express my appreciation
to the Collegian staff, the Collegian
faculty advisors, and to all who
are cooperating so willingly to
make the Collegian a -success.
Comments received about the.
April issue have been very favor->
able, and I wish to pass on to the
Collegian reporters and to the
members of the journalism class
the credit for a job well done.
One evening last week I talked
to a Charlotte College alumnus who
was at home for Easter vacation
from a university. When asked to
comment upon CC and his present
Alma Mater, he said that, as a red-
blooded American boy, he would
reserve the right to offer con
structive criticism on either, but
that a proper appreciation of Char
lotte College can come only after
one has transferred to another seat
of learning.
He called Charlotte College a
“student's college” where one is
helped by the faculty to attain the(
level of learning he desires. His
matter of fact statement of the
detached attitude and seeming
elimination procedures in freshman
and sophomore classes at the uni
versity indicated that he misses
the close associations he enjoyed
at Charlotte College.
Have you worked Jere Thomas’
crossword puzzles in this and the
last issue of the Collegian? He made
them especially tough to fit the
exacting demands of Charlotte
College students. A Harvard man
wouldi find them impossible.
New Courses Added
By GWENDOLYN EASTRIDGE
Some 555 students enrolled in
Charlotte College for the winter
term. College records show en
rollment has- nearly doubled sincei
1956.
To meet the needs and interests
of the student body and the com
munity, new courses have been
added to the curriculum.
Students, recognizing the import
ance of reading with speed, com
prehension, and accuracy, met with
Dr. David Shepherd of the Read
ing Center each Monday night
during the winter term. Special
equipment, college owned, was used
to aid in increasing reading speed.
Eleven students interested in
newspaper writing, began a course
in journalism during the winter
quarter and will continue their
study through the spring quarter.
Each Thursday night the instructor,
DeWitt H. Scott, city editor of
The Charlotte News, discusses the
techniques of newspaper writing
and editing.
There are ten new typewriters
in room 200. Typing tables were
loaned to the college by the high
school. A course in typing was
added to the curriculum with the
beginning of the spring term.
In cooperation with North Caro
lina State College, the University
of North Carolina, and civic
groups, special classes for Char-
lotteans are conducted.
On Feb. 8, the School of En
gineering of North Carolina State
College entered the second year
of its enlarged program of advanced
engineering in this area.
A class designed for graduate
engineers of the area is the review
class for the state engineering
examination. Charlotte College
was the first center of engineering
review to be opened in North
Carolina.
A non-credit course is offered
in management problems. En
rollment in this class, held each
Tuesday night in the Mayo Room
of the Charlotte Public Library,
had to be limited because of seat
ing capacity. Twenty-five of the
70 desiring to take the course
could not be enrolled.
Graduate course s offered
through the University of North
Carolina, primarily for public
school teachers of Charlotte, meet
each Tuesday evening from 5 to 7.
New Lounge
Is Planned
The Student National Education
Association of Charlotte College
will furnish a lounge on the second
floor of the old Central building.
The NEA already has acquired
two chairs and one couch from the
old Central teacher’s lounge. The
association is relying chiefly on
money from the student council to
complete the project.
The new lounge will provide a
place where students in the old
building may relax and study.
Students in the old building now
must commute to the new wing to
find a lounge and, upon arrival
there, often find the lounge
facilities inadequate.

Humor Magazine
Needed
EDITORIAU
By JERRY RICH
Charlotte College needs a humor
magazine. While many students
prefer literature of a serious
nature, many others show little
interest along these lines. And
some students, presumably, appreci
ate both.
The light-hearted, and sometimes
ridiculous, tales in college humor
magazines should be welcome here.
A humor magazine at Charlotte
College should be able to coexist
peaceably with the Writer’s Club.
The Parnassian is a necessary out
let for Charlotte College’s better
writers.
If need be, a humor magazine
could originate in mimeographed
form. This later could give way to
a printed edition when funds be
come available.
