Page 4 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN SKadow In The Hall A new quarter and a new season at CC. Didn’t take Spring long to roll around again, did it? People say we’re getting older when time starts flying by. Someone said we’re only as old as we feel, so let’s all stay young! I don’t have to worry about time and years since I‘m only a (gho—) a shadow. LEARNING isn’t completely lost with passing years. Even I pick up something once in a while. I specially like Dr. Blanchard’s phil osophy in English. It opened my eye (sockets). I’ve been asleep for ( ) years. But Rip Van Winkle slept for 40 years and look what a name he made for himself. Carl Burris, an upcoming mechanical technician, is all hepped up on this education business. We need more students like you at CC, Carl. Have you taught your students tke difference between KCL and CLO^, Pop? Hear you had a small explosion a short time ag^e. M. W. Grass, Jr. won’t listen to his bachelor friends. He will say his wedding vows on June 3rd. I hear that another CC bachelor gave his steady a “pledge pin”. By the way, what is a pledge pin? “Oh, Hal, what pretty eyes you have.” (I not only snoop; I listen.) Ann Beam finally got her test finished. Glad to have you at CC, Ann. Better look out. Boys I She has a sweet tooth. The eyes of the shadow’s “drabbler” fall upon a table in the Owl’s Roost. He hears: "Bill, what part of English do you like most?” “Oh, Ah, Uh, I don’t know, Jerry — grammar, I guess”. It is a conclusion of machine shop ME students that Mr. Riggs- bee might be jarred from his per fect shop performances if he would change his route to the Owl’s Roost and its beauties instead of going straight to the shop when he arrives at the college. The wise “Owls” are not exactly roostless. It’s just the screeches and the hoots which make them take cover in the library. Jim Cornell seems to be having trouble getting his Writer’s Club “helpers” to help. That Frank just seems to have a way with all the girls. Watch it and don’t be like Tom, though I must take time out to thank my “drabbler” for making this month’s column possible. You were a big help. Thanks again. When guys and gals talk low in the I’ioost, they should use more' direct English. I don’t know whether one table discussion was a proposal or a debate on “Men are superior to women.” Hov.- about it, Jonny S? Are you really that bashful, Charlotte? . . . What do you do after 6 P. M., Harry? . . . Carol seems to like these farm boys . . . Do you really think he is telling the truth, Mary? Better watch out 1 His line is too smooth . . . Seems you’re pretty much involved yourself, Connie. Is it catching? Bill”, or at least support it . . . The chorus sounded better than usual the night they met down stairs. Maybe that was just be cause I heard them all the way over at the Greasy Spoon. One thing for sure — Mr. Woodruff should be given a hand-shake. He is an excellent teacher and has lots of patience . . . Have you been to Shuffletown lately? Look up Grover Smith when you do go. ’ THE ARTS are not entirely lost at CC. I picked up some good drawing in the Owl’s Roost the other night. I especially liked the ones of the Indians. They make nice remarks, too. On one part icular picture, he said to the white man, “What does Chief do when not fishing? White man sure ask foolish questions.” (It loses some-* thing without the picture.) CC’s Cheerleaders Establish “Firsts” By Nancy Miller CC’s cheerleaders have faithfully cheered our team on during the 1960-61 basketball season. Most of the young ladies attend evening classes, work in the day time and have little time for practice. Drill sessions were held late HONESTLY, now, algebra isn’t tlie evening on week days or early in the morning on week-ends so hard. That is, if you don’t have to write an excuse for an absence caused by a cold which turned 1 notice two repeats on the Dean’s “A” list. Congratulations to Gladys and Big Jim. into a fever. Just ran upon a new book. “Standard Treasury of Learning”. It is a dictionary for young people. I’m not advertising the book. Just —sometime as early as 8 AM on Saturday. The cheerleaders have established many “firsts” during, this school year, and, as the basketball players say, “We couldn’t have done with out them.” Monday May 1, 1961 Asian Book Drive To Continue By Rose Erwin The Asian Book Drive, sponsored by Sigma Tau Sigma, officially ended April 7th. Since that date we have additional requests asking for “work by standard authors (e.g.. Hawthorn, Huxley and Hem ingway) published before 1945. If any students or members of the faculty have books they will contribute to this drive, they are asked to leave them with Mrs. Winningham or Mr. Wheelock. We wish to quote excerpts of appreciation from these students for gifts already received. From Tanganyika: “I am writing to you about 19 cartons of used books which were shipped to this school by WUS. The whole school is grateful for these books which have been a tremendous addition to our school library. We are grateful to you and you may rest assured that your work has been valuable to everyone co- nected with our secondary school in Tabora.” From the Union of Moslem Algerian Students: “I have the pleasure of advising you that we have received the 13 bales of used garments which you sent to our students refugees in Tunisia. In the name of Algerian students I send you our sincere thanks for your action toward our fellow stu dents refugees, and we ask that you extend our profound apprecia tion to all the donors.” Give, if at all possible. Changes To Student Government Constitution Proposed From back to front they are: thought some students may be in- Settlemyre, Mildred Hunter, Tommy Womble is slow but sure. Ask him if you don’t believe me . . . Been hearing much news about you lately, John. How come you just came into the limelight?. . .That Ralph sure gives nice hay rides. LONELINESS seems to be catching. The other night, while I was minding someone else’s bus iness, as usual, I watched a certain young lady stand on the street corner opposite CC for 30 minutes before her ride came to take her home. Before she could get into the car, “Frenchy” came along. I won’t tell you anymore, but it’s wonderful to have someone to take the feeling of loneliness away. Why is the date, April 22nd, so special, Jean?. . C. B. Mullis can’t seem to keep up with his slid& rules . . Looks as though Martha were going into the used-book bus- ness. Do you think you could usei Sartan as your partner, Martha? . . . .All yon veteran's should tak' advantage of this “Peacetime G.I. terested. Anne’s English reviews would probably improve if Mike weren’t on her mind so much. Were you trying to burn him up, or your English, Anne? Charles seems to love those things called girls . . . And Robert, well, he’s just the most . , . That Honeycutt gets prettier every day, doesn’t she? ... Is it really that bad, John? . . . With a line like Reid’s, you don’t need much educa tion . . . Effie seems to be holding her temper a lot better since Ed left . . . Rose just keeps too busy . . . Pat loves these vacations . . And Wade Ramsey just can’t take enough pictures ... You can’t do that, Hal! SINCE Spring has sprung, you’ll be seeing THE SHADOW around more. Better watch you step. ALL NEW STUDENTS, yea, and also old ones, are urged to send news of fellow students to me. The Shadow, in care of The Collegian, This column is yours. Use It! Onita Long, Brenda Brown, Bar bara Cloud and Nancy Miller. Brenda Allen, who was absenei when this picture was made, also deserves a word of thanks. New Student Council Officers Elected A new slate of officers was elect ed to CC student council poiitions in April. Bill Ferguson become president, Johnn?r Sayers vice president, Jeannie Glasgow sec retary and Francis Cline Treasurer. These students will take office' for the 1961-62 school year just as the college is moving to its new and permanent campus on high way -19. Many unusual and ilifficult pi'ol)lems will face the new council dur.ng their time in office. Tuition Payment Plan Inaugurated An insured tuition payment plan has been inaugurated by the Rich ard C. Knight Insurance Agency with the State Street Bank of Boston as trustee of the funds. This new and unique plan offers a logical answer to the financial problem faced by parents who wish to educate their children and must provide the money from earned income. The insured tuition payment plan has two outstanding features: First. liberal, low-cost insurance on the parent, paying benefits both in case of death or total and permanent disability. The in surance is .designed so that its value is always equal to the re mainder of the cost of the entire educational program. Second. A budget provision that divides the complete educational expense into monthly installments spread over the entire period which begins on the date your plan is started and ends on the date the last tuition payment is due at the college. You pay as you earn, out of income. Your account is prepaid — you are never in debt. The earlier the plan is started, the smaller the monthly install ments, and the longer the term of insurance will be. Persons interested in the plan may contact Mr. Yarbrough at the college office for further details. Because Charlotte College will begin operating on a semester basis in the 1961-62 school year, certain amendments to the student goverment constitution have become necessary. However, no change* in the basic structure of the constitution are needed. The proposed amendments are those which convert the prerequis ites for student government members under a quarter system to a semester system, and change the dates of elections to avoid conflict with exam schedules, etc. The committee decided that under the semester system the min imum load of subjects for students holding office should be threa college-level courses, rather than the present two. ARTICLE III: Section “2: (a) So much as reads, “.. . elected. . annually in April and installed in May,” be amended to read, “... .... elected. . . annually in March and installed in April.” (b) So much as reads, “. . . minimum of 20 quarter hours credit.” be amended to read, “. . . minimum of 14 semester hours credit.” ARTICLE V: Section 3: So much as reads, .. sophomore class officers and representatives shall be elected annually in May.” ba amended to read, "... sophomore class officers and Representatives shall be elected annually in April.” Section 4: (a) So much as read, “...minimum of 20 quarter hours credit.” be amended to read, . minimum of 14 semester hours credit.” (b) So much as reads, minimum of two college-level courses ...” be amended to read, . • minimum of three college-level courses...” ARTICLE VIII: Section 2: So much as reads, “...elected... annually in April.” be amended to read, “... elected .. . annually in March. Since no major changes are involved in the proposed amendments, the committee recommends holding the referendum election in con junction with one of the upcoming elections. Pursuant to Article IX of the constitution, a three-fourths majority of the votes cast is necessary for ratification.
