Page 4 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN Tuesday, April 26, 1960 C C Students Predict 1960 Baseball Results By PAUL A. SHINN As April rolls around and the major league teams begin to move North, baseball prognosticators take out their pencils and decide who will be the pennant winners for the coming season. This year the sports department of the Collegian took a poll of 20 Charlotte College students to see how they picked the 1960 races. The students were asked to list the teams of each League in the order of final standings. The choices were tabulated like this: Eight points went to the team picked to finish first, seven points to the second-place team, and so on down to one point for the last-place team. In the National League it was a three-way race. The San Fran cisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Milwaukee Braves dominated the top spot voting. The Giants wound up with 147 points out of a possible 160 to take first place in the student poll. The Milwaukee Braves, who lost the pennant to the Dodgers in a playoff last year, were picked to finish second in the senior circuit. The fact that the Dodgers won the pennant and the World Series in 1959 made little impression on the majority of students polled. Los Angeles was picked to finish third behind San Francisco and Milwaukee. The Dodgiers polled eight fewer votes than the Braves did. No other team came close to catching the Giants in the voting. In fact only one other team, the Pittsburg Pirates, received a first- place vote. Cincinnati’s Reds tied with the Pirates for fourth spot in the league standing. Each team got 85 votes. The last three places in the National league standings seemed to be pretty stable. The St. Louis Cardinals finish ed 12 votes ahead of the Chicago Cubs, and the Cubs wound up 25 votes ahead of the last place Philadelphia Phillies, who could manage only 25 points. The American league also had a three club race for the pennant. Chicago’s other representative to major league baseball, the White Sox, received 151 points to finish first in the American league standings. CH^RLP^rE COUsjyy Charlotte College site will be location of Spring picnic. The Sox picked up 13 first place votes, more than any other team. They were picked no lower than third on any ballot. The Yankees will rise a notch in the standings this year, according to the CC baseball men. Casey Stengle’s pin-stripped warriors edged out Cleveland by seven points for second place. The Indians were a solid choice for third, finishing. 44 points ahead of fourth place Detroit. Baltimore and the Boston Red Sox had a close fight for fifth spot in the league. The Orioles eked out a one point lead over the Beantown boys and should wind up leading the second division teams. Despite the power of Harmon Killebrew and Bob Allison, and the! pitching of Camilo Pascual, the Senators could manage only 35 points in the voting. It looks as though Washington will again be first in war, first in peace, and last in the American league in 1960. In individual hitting depart ments in the National league, Ernie Banks was picked over Hank Aaron to repeat as the league’s most valuable player. Banks also took top spot in vot ing for home runs and runs batted in. Aaron should repeat as thft league’s batting champion. Cleveland’s powerful Rocky Colavito was named to win the American league’s home run and runs batted in championships. Nellie Fox, White Sox second baseman, was picked to win the MVP award, and Detroit’s Harvey Kuenn was chosen to again take the American league batting crown.

Electrically DUKE EOWER COMPANY By ED SILBER As there is still some uncertainty about the future of the assembly ■programs at Charlotte College, the Collegian would like to get the opinions of the students concern ing this matter First of all, we would like to know if the students really want the programs; and secondly, if you do, what type you- want. It is the practice to have one assembly program, which is paid for and backed by the Student Council, each quarter. The cost is taken from the student’s activity fee. This year,, about $1,100.00 has been spent on three assemblies. This represents a cost of about $2.00 per student. One view of the programs is that they are to bring culture to the college. Another is that they arei to entertain the students. Still another interpretation is that cul ture should be entertaining, and that both views therefore coincide when pianists and, singers are brought to C. C. You will help both yourself and the Student Council if you voice your opinion on this matter. Mentioning yoiir views to a mem ber of the Council, will, of course' help. However, the Collegian would like to know your feelings too. Simply write your thoughts, address them to “Letters to the Editors,” and drop them in the “Letters” slot next to the teachers’ boxes.

The score made on the test is a help to local boards in considering students for deferment from in duction for study as undergraduate or graduate students. Col. Thomas H. Upton, state director of Selective Service for North Carolina, announced that the test in North Carolina will be con ducted at the following schools: Chapel Hill, University of North Carolina Davidson, Davidson College Durham, Duke University Durham, North Carolina College at Durham Greensboro, Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina Hickory, Lenoir-Rhyne College He urged students to take the test. “The test is for the student’s benefit as well as for the nation’s good,” Col. Upton said. “A local board, should have full information about a student in order to classify him, including his class standing and a score on this test. A high test score may compensate for low class standing, and high class standing may compensate for a low test score. “Some students do not take the test because a student deferment extends a registrant’s liability,” Col. Upton said. “Other defer ments also extend liability to age 35,” he added, “such as those for members of the ROTC, for ex ample. And no registrant can re main out of service beyond about age 23 unless an exemption, or a deferment extends liability. “The purpose of student defer ments is to give promising stu dents an opportunity to continue to prepare themselves for careers in support of the national interest.” Scientific and professional en gineering organizations are urging students preparing for careers in those fields to take the test, the State -Director pointed ouL These organizations recognize the need for advanced study. They also re cognize that the undergraduate student who today does not plan on graduate study frequently real izes its importance as he nears graduation. That is the time that a deferment may be most import ant. That is also the time when a test score may be most important in the local board’s decision con cerning deferment. Application materials for the test are available at the nearest local board office. Full instructional materials are issued with the . applications. COTTAGE CHEESE Smooth, creamy, fre.h.
