Page 8 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN Wednesday, June 1, 1960 C.C. Rates High As Junior College By JEAN STRATHDEE Charlotte College was rated high as a junior college by four out of five students interviewed recently. In hopes of getting the stu dent’s viewpoint of ways to im prove Charlotte College, IS ques tions were asked scholars of vari ous curriculum. The class hours of those polled range from 8:30 a. m. to 10 p. m. After serious and careful thought the majority ruled that, for the amount of money support ing the school, Charlotte College is well operated. There were complaints, of course, with the greatest number directed toward the faculty, fellow students, and the limited curricu lum. Most of the teachers were con sidered fair in their grading sys tem and doing a good job of in structing their students. An analysis of the poll gave English teachers top listing as in structors. Almost everyone agreed that they were extremely good— in fact—the best. Students of Charlotte College need more school spirit, was the unanimous verdict of the four students. The students should show more interest in the school and its activities, and, as a group, the C. C family should know one amother better and enjoy a friendlier relationship. Although most day students ap ply themselves to their studies, some were considered less mature than night students. Instead of being serious about their studies, some go to C. C. for the social life, or just to be able to say they go to college. The night students were be lieved to be more serious. Dis tinction between the two groups was blamed on age and employ ment. The G. I. out-rates all groups for seriousness. Day and night students want more subjects offered. Although students took time to offer constructive criticism, none want Miss Bonnie Cone’s job as director of Charlotte College. They only know enough about her job to know that they do not want the responsibilities which go with it. The students feel that she is do ing a fine job. Reasons for attending Charlotte College did not vary much. All wanted to further their education in order to better themselves and society. They picked Charlotte College because it is known throughout the state as a good school, because it is less expen sive than most, and because part time employment opportunities are very good in this area. All were enthusiastic about the idea of Charlotte College becom ing a four-year university. They think it should be in effect now. “A university has great possibili ties in Charlotte. It would give many people a chance to continue their education and would open the way for continued expansion of a much needed link in the state’s educational system.” When asked what he would re member most about Charlotte Col lege four years from now, one> student said, “Everything. I don’t want to forget a moment. I will always be proud to say that I re ceived my A. A. degree from Charlotte College.” Crossword Puzzle Campus Quips By JERE THOMAS 57. Famous queen ACROSS 58.

Majoring in liberal arts, Mr. Furr graduated from Charlotte College with an A. A. degree in 1956. Furr acquired an interest in po litical science, was active in the C. C. U. N., while at Charlotte College, and served as its district representative. Furr continued his education at the University of Georgia, where he majored in political science. He received his A. B» degree from that institution on March 14th of this year. * ♦ ♦ Daniel Webster McCaskill, a Bill Mitchel award winner, grad uated from Charlotte College with an A. A. degree in 19S6. McCaskill’s major field at CC was in liberal arts, with special emphasis on history in preparation for the ministry. Mr. McCaskill continued his ed ucation at Davidson College, where his major was in history. He graduated from Davidson with an A. B. degree in 1959. He is now studying at the Gen eral Theological Seminary in New York City. * ♦ ♦ Demetrios F. Nixon transferred from Charlotte College to the Uni versity of North Carolina in 1951. Nixon majored in political sci ence at the University and re- ceiced his A. B. degree in 1954, and a Master’s in 1958. While at Charlotte College, Nix on served as vice president of the Executive Council. At Chapel Hill, he was a member of the National Sam Dunlap Most Valuable Player Chosen , By PAUL A. SHINN Sam Dunlap, the Owls 5’ 9” guard, has been selected unani mously by the basketball team as the Most Valuable Player of the 1959-60 season. “He was the main cog of the team all year,” Coach Gene Todd said of the captain of this year’s team. “I certainly would have elected him as most valuable player.” Sam started all games for the Owls during the season, and there were anly two games during the entire campaign in which he was relieved. Sam’s high point totals for the year were 25 and 24 points, and he averaged around 10 points a game during the whole season. While being the sparkplug of the team, Sam held a part time job and also managed to maintain good grades. Sam is a 24 year old bachelor, and a service veteran who hails from Laurenburg, South Carolina. He played basketball at Lauren burg High School and also in the service. Not only is Sam an outstanding basketball performer, but he also enjoys tennis. “He probably plays tennis even better than he does basketball,” opined Coach Todd. Sam hasn’t decided cxactly where he will go to school after he finished at Charlotte College. He will probably major in some field of teaching and physical ed ucation. Next year, though, Sam will be back in an Owls uniform doing what comes naturally for the ’60- ’61 basketball squad. Political Science Honor Society. Nixion is now a member of the faculty of Georgia Military Col lege in Milledgeville, Georgia.

New Activities Suggested By MARTHA MOORE A survey of student opinion re sulted in suggiestions for improv ing or adding extra-curricular ac tivities at Charlotte College. Herq are some of the suggestions: Jere Thomas; “Why doesn’t Charlotte College have a dance combo?” With as much musical talent as there is here, we see no reason why a really good combo shouldn’t be formed. Several persons who would like to play in a combo have, expressed interest in joining such a group. Those who can lend only their ears and their dancing feet are also very much m favor of it. Then what is the holdup? We need an organizer. Some one must come forward and “band a band.” This person need not necessarily have musical talent. The only requirement is the abil ity to call people together and to count to three. There are limitless possibilities for a combo here. We see one starting out by playing for coffee hours, then special assemblies, then the Spring Dance, then local club dates, and then . . . Les Brown took a “Sentimental Journey” from Duke. Why shouldn t you follow the same trail? So where are you, Mr. Organizer and musicians? Step forward I » ♦ » Why doesn’t Charlotte College have a prysical education class? Since the majority of our stu dents work and attend classes too, they have very little time for recreation. A physical training program is needed to balance the curriculum. As it is no longer necessary to share the gym with Central High School, perhaps we could use it two days a week for classes. The other tkree days we could have lessons in golf, tennis, bowling, swimming horse-back riding . . or a combination. Perhaps arrangements could also be made to use park or public fa cilities for these activities. The summer session would be a good time to initiate such a pro- gxam. The weather is favorable and the days lo»ger, making out side activities appropriate. Many students are interested in this proposal. J* * * Jean Strathdee: Why can't Charlotte College have a barn theatre? We have the talent and the barn. All we need is a Dramatics Club. I With volunteer help, a school sponsored club could cast a play every quarter in the Charlotte College barn. The proceeds would go for the upkeep of the club. A Dramatics Club would bring out student talent that may other wise stay hidden, and it would help those who have trouble with public speaking. Hetrestunent on its way
