Friday, November 4, 1960 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN Page 8 SKadow In The Hall Collegian Civitan May Be Formed Civitan International sponsors Collegiate Civitan, a service organ ization for college men. A Civitan Counsellor would assist in forming a club at Charlotte College. “The objectives of Collegiate Civitan Clubs shall be to empha size the advantages of the Ameri- can-Canadian way of life, to pro mote good fellowship and high scholarship, to serve on the cam pus and in the community, to pro vide an opportunity for leadership training through service, to encour age the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships, and to begin to be ‘Builders of Good Citizenship’ in rendering al truistic service and in building better communities.” An outline of Collegiate Civitan, its purpose and ideals, its forma tion, and its constitution and regu lations, is posted on the bulletin board near the business office. The Student Council encourages you to look over the material. A Collegiate Civitan will be or ganized at Charlotte College if male students indicate an interest. TV MATHEMATICS FOR JUNIOR COLLEGES College students can benefit from a ‘‘made- to-order” course in con temporary mathematics especially designed for collegie freshmen and sophomores. Continental Class room (NBC) is the program, tele cast 6:30 - 7:30 a.m., Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The first semester course is Modern Alege- bra; the second semester will be Probability and Statistics. (Last year’s Continental Classroom cou rse in Modern Chemistry will be repeated on NBC from 6 to 6:30 a.m.) Modren Algebra will be taught by Dr. Jorn L. Kelly, professor of mathematics and head of the University of California, Berkeley. CC’» United Appeal Drive Lags Charlotte College is still lagging far behind the goal of $875 it hoped to raise in the United Appeal Drive. Through Novem ber 3, $655.91 had been collected. This leaves a balance of $219.09 to be collected. Students, Instructors and Staff of Charlotte College are urged to “dig deep” and to push on to the goal which has been set. Lets make this a 100% effort. Please give and give again—even if it is only a dime. May we have the wit to dis cover what is true, and the fort itude to practice what is good. Twelve students from the C. C. Student National Education Asso ciation plan to attend the state wide Student Teachers Convention in Raleigh on November 12th. Miss Mary Denny, advisor to the group, says this will be the largest repre sentation the chapter has ever had at such a conference. . Quote And Unquote By VIVIAN WHITE “Cancelled! Oh, no! Well, how many do we need?” Did someone ask you if you’d like to take shorthand? You may have run into some of the girls who had registered for the begin ning course. They were looking for “sufficient enrollment.” Registration was not up to re quirements, and the administration withdrew the course from the fall schedule. That turned out to be only the beginning, however: the girls, most of whom are office employees, be gan contacting prospects. In fact, they even had a boss in their en listment campaign. Miss Cone placed a week-end ad in the local papers, and Monday night they be gan their course—ten days delayed and without textbooks, but not shorthanded. * • » “That is Bill Ferguson’s work.” Mrs. Scherger and Kay Combs have been answering inquiries about the library bulletin boards. Bill has that professional touch, everyone agrees. Kay enlisted Bill’s talent for the Publicity Committee early in the year. He was also invited to mem bership in the Creative Writers Club on the basis of his artwork. ♦ ♦ ♦ “They just didn’t have that kind of information available when I was in school.” Mr. Woodruff wholeheartedly en dorsed the new information file set up by the Student Council. Regis tration cards giving a complete listing of all students’ addresses, phone numbers, and schedules are now available in the library. The public file was created so that the information would be easily accessible, particularly to clubs soliciting members. Mr. Woodruff seems to think it may be beneficial to the social life of the school. And, who knows? * * » “Hey, Bud, do you have a permit to park there?” The remark was made in fun. It was 9:30 p.m. and raining cats and dogs. An unprepared sports car driver had pulled into the basement entrance hall to put up his top. But the point is well taken. C. C. drivers are subject to city parking regulations. Parking along the driveway is strictly prohibited. Only cars displaying proper per mits can park between the build ings. That means that students who do not park on the city streets are to use the back parking lot. Driveways onto Kings Drive are a big improvement over the park ing situation last year. We can look forward to next year. There should be no parking problems when we have our own home. Tentative plans for attending the meeting were made at the October 16th meeting held at Miss Denny’s home. Transportation expenses for the group will be allocated from student government funds. Other matters of discussion at the October meeting were scholar ship and loan funds for prospec tive teachers and suggested service projects for the year. Dr. Charles Rosen Dr. Charles Rosen, pianist, will play at GC on Dec. 7. Peekin’ WitK Pidfee Greetings, Group! I’m “Pidge”— you know, as in stool pigeon? Any way, my hobby is “people watch ing,” and I’m here to keep you up to date on all the unofficial, nosey- type news that no one else thinks is important enough to write about. (Translation: This is a gossip column.) As I peered at people this week, it seemed they were all voting. Hope ya’ll registered your prefer ences in that little nominating box so we’ll have some good class offi cers. And what about the campus poll concerning who the ne.xt Presi dent will be? Anyone giving odds on how that will turn out? Really, it’s pretty easy to guess by 'seeping tabs on all the political buttons being displayed. By the way, if you don’t have one and feel left out, I think I’ve got some Hoover but tons lying around the pigeon perch. While on politics, I must correct all you poor, misinformed people who are under the delusion that “The Great Debate” is a TV pro gram. Actually, the greatest of the “Great Debates” takes place during the break outside Dr. Green’s his tory class. Recently overheard: “Why, I couldn’t possibly vote for him — his ears are too low!” Who is it that is trying to start a C. C. band and has yet to discover the fabulous but untapped talent of someone only two seats away from him in class? This kat can really do it with the drums — or rather, he could if he had any. Meanwhile, his desk suffices quite adequately, as all his professors will verify. If anyone is running a contest on who is most likely to be called over the intercom, my bet will be Mr. Williams. He is also one of Charlotte College’s busiest and big gest assets. Has anyone noticed the vacant stares of Jerry Gunter and Brenda Allen, who both seem to be sighing in the general direction of South High? Altho’ the objects of their affections are two different people. I’m sure the diagnosis would be suprisingly similar . . . Paul Allen, Francis Thompson, and Robert Clark must all be forgiven for walking around with their noses in the air. They aren’t snobs, they’re only looking for a wild Arborvitae — and if you don’t know what that is, take Botany . . . Has anyone the answer to Pat Norman’s per petual good nature? If she bought it at a sale somewhere, I want four quarts’ worth to get me through exams . . . Three cheers for Dr. “Heck’s neat and readable handwriting. No squinting at the blackboard is necessary in his class! Hope everyone had a hilarious Halloween! I retii'ed to my old pigeon perch, because the air traf fic was so full of bats and broom sticks. ’Bye for now, “Pidge” Once again I leave my bier and enter Charlotte College. Yes, the evil genius is back. I refuse to surrender to the never-never land. Education has stopped there but from that land of illiterates, I try to rise. Among you—I will. BUT, watch out! To taunt you, I will do my best. And when this year is through. If someone is bitter, just come looking for me. In the land of phew. (Whew!) ♦ * * I will try to bring a smile — to help someone lonely. I’ll even give gems of advice. I can be good, or I can be bad. Just prompt me a little, and I will be either. Are you afraid, Mr. Higgins? Mabye overworked would be a beter term, huh? It was registration day. When I walked into the business office to ask Mr. Higgins about my sche dule for the coming year, he look ed a little pale. It was seven o’ clock and the office was supposed to be closed. A line of students still waited to see the registrar. “Come back tomorrow and regis ter,” he said. His ashen face did not change expression when he turned to see who was speaking and saw no one. Rubbing a hand across his eyes, Mr. Higgins glanced in my direc tion again. “Guess it has been a hard day. I’d better go home; I am tired.” Quizzically, shaking his head, Mr. Higgins turned and walked back into his office. ♦ * * “Last name first. First name last.” It was still registration night. And Charles Funk was hav ing a little trouble writing his name. Can’t you read, Charles? OLD STUDENTS! NEW STU DENTS! Yeh, even after the larg est graduating class in C. C. his tory, last spring we have even more students than before. Some old graduates, too. I found Mar tha and Onita. Where are the rest of you hiding? Don’t be bashful. We’re proud to have you back. Having trouble organizing our band, Jerry? Just get in touch with Preston Grier. He’ll be glad to help you. He’s had plenty of experience. You don’t act like you miss Son ny very much, Nancy. Maybe you are just a great pretender? . . . Helen Rea says she’s through with men. Wonder how long this will last? . . . Ken Miller buys terrific steak dinners. He also has a nice line for blondes. That short hair cut looks sharp, Kay . . . Better watch out, Howard, I hear the girls are after you and your position. Mostly you, I think . . . Are Jane and Martha Maurice sisters? Wow!! . . . Don’t you like crossword puzzles anymore, Jere? . . . Did you know that Paul Shinn is a News writer? . . . Something must be said about W’alt Linker’s cha-cha. It’s the most! . . . You wouldn’t happen to be any kin to the James L. Knight clan, would you, Marvin? . . . And the Smiths—we’ve got lots of them: Hilda, Philip, George, Edgar, Wayne and Melton. What are you planning to do this spring, Lynn? . . . Mr. Woodruff needs more Chorus members. Linda seems to think it would help if the members could dance . . . Please, Juanita, give us a smile, hum? . . . And guess who else is back. Jerry Owens—■ but leave him alone, girls,—a wife you know. Congratulations on your recent marriage, Napoleon . . . Are you going to keep the smile on your face as you clench your teeth at ball games this year. Coach Todd? . . . Wonder how cheer-leader train ing is coming along . . . Many C. C. students think they need Mr. Thornton back — professionally, that is . . . After seeing Mr. Riggsbee, I know why so many C.C. girls are inquiring about taking machine shop . . . Ever go to Black- welder’s, Shirley? The Chorus had a nice party in Barbara Cloud’s home recently. It was a combination social and poli tical rally . . . Diane is back. Watch out, boys! . . . Certainly doesn’t pay to be dumb at this school, does it? . . . Who is your new flame, Gary? . . . It’s not long until Christmas, guys. Start shop ping early for a date for the Christmas dance. I notice everyone has been watch ing what they throw away lately. Afraid it may be found? ♦ ♦ Yesterday, upon the stairs I saw a man who wasn’t there He wasn’t there again today Gee, I wish he’d go away. * * ♦ SOMETHING NEW: C. C. now has a Castro and a Cinderalla. Our Dr. Heck has the goatee. Jane Agnew insists on playing the part of Cinderalla. When 12 o’clock draws near, she runs home. More and more married students are coming to C. C. Even parents of small children. I’d just like to know where they find the time to study. I think they have lots of courage and I respectfully extend my hand to them. LOVELORN: A fellow asks, “How do you approach a girl for a dance when you are afraid she will turn you down?” Solution: Just ask her. All she can do is say no. Girl has problem! She believes that her one and only loves her. He said so. Can she believe him? Action, my dear girl, speaks louder than words. Love is no toy even though some may handle it carelessly. To love someone means to hold their happiness above your own. THE END is coming. I must leave you and return to inner space—or is it outer. I am here, and you are there. You’ve read what I’ve written, but how you’ve taken it I don’t know. I’d like to have your re-action. Am I friend or foe? Need some help? May be even want some spying done? Just let me know. Know any good gossip? Have any problems? Any questions on anything — history, English? Any one jilt you lately — want to get even — Here’s your chance! Send information to The Shadow, care of Collegian. Please sign your name to all letters. I pro mise they will be held confidential. W'hen angry count ten before speaking. When very angry, count one hundred and then don’t speak. Twelve CC Students Will Attend Convention By VIVIAN WHITE
