Important issues discussed at
THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN September 18, 1961 Page 3
these meetings included the se
lection and approval of faculty
advisors and student managers

The F. A. C. reported that
all members of the Student

presidents are supposed to set
up booths.
A proposal that a student di

A Student Councli pin was de

Miss Cone
Is Named
President

salary will be increased $1600
per annum.
They also are typical of reas
ons which caused the chairman
o' the board, J. Murray Atkins,
to say on the day of the big
event that the board is looking
for someone to be a business
executive for the community
colleges.
Mr. Atkins said of our Presi-
uent, “We feel and have long
long felt that Miss Cone’s great
talent for inspiring her faculty
and her students is too great
to be wasted on legislators, pur
chasing agents, and brick layers.
She has this great devotion to her
students and her teachers, and
we think we would be taking
advantage of her if we didn’t get
someone to help her with theie
other jobs — jobs which she also
has done very well.”
And how does President Cone
feel about all this? The last time
she was seen by this reporter she
was leaving her office too late
at night, walking down the hall
of old Charlotte College, beaming
pleasantly, and stopping long
enough to unlock the door for
someone who wanted to get into
a supply room.
Bus To Campus
Although no bus schedule is
available tn CC studerts yet, the
State Utilities Commission has
approved bus service to the new
campus, and buses will be in
operation by Sept. 20.
CC Teacher
Helps Write
Math Book
A Charlotte College teacher,
a former CC student and two
other men have written a math
book.
The authors are C. S. Good-
rum, Jr., hend of the Charlotte
College mathematics depart
ment; George G. Killough, Jr.,
■former Charlotte College stu
dent; William H. Somerville of
King College, Bristol, Tennessee;
and J. B. Stroud III of David
son College.
The manual was prepared for
the Mathematics R course (in
termediate algebra).
The purpose of the manual,
“An Introdi’ction to Mathemat
ics,” is to provide an adequate
background for students who en
ter the required freshman math
ematics courses. The manual’s
point of view is modern, reflect
ing the current nationwide trend
in secondary and college level
teaching of mathematics.
The manual will be revised
as needs arise.
“If it proves to be helpful,
we can add to the manual —
maybe even write more books,”
said Killough.
A preliminary edition was
drafted during early summer for
use in the course during the
second summer session. The
first edition, published in hecto-
graphed form, will be ready for
use when the fall semester be
gins.

By GEANNIE GLASGOW
Collegian Staff Writer
Charlotte College professors
have had a busy and interesting
summer — many of them all
over the world.
Percy Bernstein, mathematics
teacher, and his wi'e went on an
extended trip to Europe.
Dr. W. B. H. Corkey, teacher
of philosophy and religion, on the
other hand, had a sentimental
■•eason for his journey overseas.
”e spent the summer in Ireland
visiting his parents and friends.
The Bernsteins and Dr. Cor
key both had interestimg com
ments about their trips.
Miss Mary Fore spent ten days
on the British isles, concentrating
-)n England and parts of Scotland,
"^rom Britain, she went to the
continent, where she visited,
imong other places, Italy, Switz
erland, Germany, and wound up
her trip in Paris.
While in London, Mi's Fore met
'Tiss Mary Denny, also an Eng-
ish teacher at CC, accidentally
^n Princess Street, where “everv-
one will meet everyone if he’ll
iust wait long enough.”
During the time they spent
'^''gether, Miss Fore and Miss
lennv went to Windsor Castle,
"iuckingham Palace, Westminst
er Abbey, and saw the ballet
‘Snowmaiden.”
From London, Miss Denny,
who traveled with her niece
Katherine Horn, went to Scot
land for a twelve-'^s"' ♦'>”r —
cnmolete with a singing bus
driver! She s*ood in the bar
that had been used for filming
por'ions of a recent Walt Disney
movie, Rob Roy.
After a voyage ud the Thames
and a visit to the Isle of Skye,
Miss Denny returned to England
and spent the night at Stratford,
where she attendei a perform
ance of Shakespeare’s “As You
Like It.”
Bringing back many memories
of various exneriences, Miss
Denny insists that her favorite
and most vivid one is that of
the people, who she said were
“simply wonderful.”
Mrs. Edyth Winnini?ham, pro
fessor of politic')] s’ie»'ce. also
went on a tour of Europe.
She took along a “seeing-eye”
camera given to her bv the
Student Council in appreciation
of her help as their advisor.
Although she was not back as
this paper went to press, she will
surely have many interesting
stories and pictures to share with
Charlotte College on her return.
Mrs. Ramona Potter spent her
summer not in Europe, but in
the CC office faithfully perform
ing her duties as public relations
director — a new office at CC.
Another first for Mrs. Potter is
her position as secretary for the
alumni.
Choir Director
Returns To CC
Harvey Woodruff is returning
this year as CC choir director.
“We want more new students
and also returning students in
terested in music so that we can
have a good choir,” said Mr.
Woodruff. “We’re planning a big
year.”
Regular CC chorus rehearsals
will be held in the large lecture
room (L107) each Friday at 2:30
p.m. for day students and at
8:30 p.m. for evening studerts.
Individual voice lessons will be
