Cheerleader
Selection
By Nancy Miller
Want to be a cheerleader? Now
is your chance. The Student Coun
cil has acted upon a proposal placed
before them at their last regular
meeting in August. The proposal
was that a system of selecting and
supporting cheerleading at CC be
established. Howard Payne, presi
dent of the Student Council, ap
pointed a committee to draw up tl»
system and place it before the Stu
dent Council for their approval at
the following call meeting. The
committee, consisting of Kay
Combs, Bill Hicks, Gary Idle, Ann
Settlemyre, Lorra Harris, and
Nancy Miller (chairman), met im
mediately and labored for almost
two hours to draw up the proposal,
which was quickly and unanimously
accepted. It was understood, how
ever, that the system was drawn
up to suit the presetit needs of CC
and is subject to change in the
future.
Two points strongly stressed by
the committee were (1) that stu
dents trying out are to be both
male and female, and (2) that
freshmen are to be urged to try out
for cheerleading.
So, if you plan to be a student at
CC for the full ’60 - ’61 basketball
season and have a desire to be a
cheerleader, practice up and try
out. If any student would like to
have help with cheering or choos
ing a cheer, Nancy Miller, last
year’s head-cheerleader, has offered
her help. She may be contacted
through Miss English, CC’s Direc
tor of Student Personnel.

mathematics and surveying in the
day-time classes. He comes to
Charlotte College from Duke Uni
versity, where he has spent the last
two years in graduate study and
teaching. Mr. Bernstein holds a
Bachelor’s degree from Tulane

The Student Council held three
regular and two special meetings
during the summer months. The
regular meetings were held on July
23, July 28, and August 17. The
special meetings were held on July
12 and August 25.
Important issues discussed at
these meetings included the organ
ization of a college band, the selec
tion of a business manager for the
annual, the barn-raising project,
the method of choosing cheerlead
ers, and proposed amendments to
the constitution.
The possibility of organizing a
college band was introduced by
Bobby Barbee. The council was very
enthusiastic about the idea, and
President Howard Payne appoint
ed Bill Hicks and Bob Barbee co-
chairmen of a committee to contact
people interested in forming the
band. In reporting on the progress
he had made in securing musicians.
Bob Barbee said he had made many
phone calls and had found several
interesting prospects.
The fact that no one had filled
the position of business manager
of the annual by the June 23rd
meeting of the Student Council
was brought to the Council’s atten
tion by Mrs. Winningham. After
considerable discussion of a means
to create interest in this important
position, the following motion was
made by Howard Payne and passed,
pending Miss Cone’s approval; A
5 Vo commission of sales under
$1200.00 shall be offered to both
business manager and editor of the
annual in addition to the usual 10%
salesman’s commission. A 10%
commission of sales over $1200.00
shall be offered to the business
manager and editor with a 15%
salesman’s commission on sales
over $1200.00. Laura Harris was
appointed temporary business man-
28th meeting of the Student Coun
cil. Becau.se no qualifications are
included in the present constitu
tion for executive council officers,
this committee was formed for
purpose of proposing qualifica
tions. The committee also discover
ed that two other articles may
need a change.
The Council discussed courses
that were of college level. This
seemed to be one of the main rea--
sons which make amendments to
the constitution necessary. The Stu
dent Council decided that any
course listed in the Charlotte
College Catalog as such was of
college level. It was suggested that
in order to qualify for the execu
tive office, a student must have
earned 20 quarter hours at Char
lotte College, must maintain a “C”
average, and must be taking two
college-level courses at the time of
election.
Jere Thomas reported that the
committee had recommended that
unless the chairmen of committees
are elected by the student body,
they cannot qualify for a vote in
the Student Council. The Com
mittee also suggested that students
be recommended for the editors of
the various publications by mem
bers of the staffs and that those
recommended be voted upon by
the student body. It was recom
mended by the committee that more
representatives be added to the
council.
At the August 17th meeting, the
proposed changes to the constitu
tion were presented to the Student
Council and approved. Copies of
the proposed changes will be given
to each student at Charlotte Col
lege, and, early in the fall quarter,
the changes will be brought before
the student body at large for rati
fication. Upon receiving a % vote
of approval, the changes will be
incorporated in the constitution.
Miss Evelyn Baker will return
to the English Department to teach
full-time. (This is good news to
students and faculty.)
At the August 17th meeting of
the Student Council, Miss Cone
presented her views on the pro
posed plan for editors and man
agers of the yearbook. She stated
that on the basis of the 1960 Si Si,
we could not have given such com
missions without going in the hole
or cutting pages. She also pointed
out that salesmen might hold out
for 15 per cent commission, instead
of 5 per cent. In Miss Cone’s
