PAGE 2 THE CHARLOTTE OOLLBQIAN JANUARY, 1963 Little Lost, Much Left With the emphaisis suddenly on frate''nitie8 many students are asking what will happen to outside in terests at CC? What will we join? We don’t have any cocial life. There is nothing to shove my time and energy into besides school and work! If these common complainers will open their eyas, they will see many cltibs at CC waiting for members. The cheerleaders are crying for co-operation fjrom the student body. When was the last time (or the ^ first time!) you attended a 49’er basketball game? Tn the student handbook there are quite a few clubs, three publications, the chorus, and various organisa tions which are run by the students. Almost all of these need enthusiastic supporters. These are the organizations which demand time and energy! •As for social life — how about bonfires, coffee hours, and dances? Would you enjoy decorating for-the next dance? The reputation of 00 ■will not be a shining light in the eyes of many. Fraternities are an elite group, and this is a commuter’s college. Most of the stu dents cannot participate in such groups even if avail able. We will have another chance at elite clubs when we become larger. Ho'vvever, if we do not present a good ima^fe now, we will not grow larger in the future. Call It What You Will There are tv/o types of students. Those who complain about the activities and complain about events when they attend. Dto they try to help the people doing the organizing? Then there are stu dents who organize the event, participate in it, and notice its good points. Which type of student are you? Letters To Editor HERE IS THE ACTION! Recently there has been some discussion concerning the lack of ACTION in our Student Council. It has been asked if the com mittees set up by the Council really act or not. Let us review the actions of a few of these committees. Every dance which Charlotte College has had was arranged and carried out by the Social Committee. This is by no means a small task, considering that this committee is also in charge of all other school-wide social functions. During this semester alone. Charlotte College has had several elections--Freshman nominations and elections, Christmas king and queen nominations and elections, and others. This again is no small task. The efforts of the Elections Committee deserve to be complimented. The Traffic Committee has already issued 150-200 citations thus far this year. This is not exactly ‘‘doing nothing”. Other comments have been made concerning the Publicity Com mittee. Who made signs for every dance sponsored by the Student Council? for all nominations and elections? for the Charlotte College Chorus? for the United Appeal Drive? What committee approves and posts all announcements? Answer: The Publicity Committee. The Student Council is not a perfect organization, but neither is it inactive. Its miniite^ are available for students to read, and other information is always posted by the minutes on the Student Council Bulletin Board.

Coorjes r' Second seyies'ter/ / / / / \ \ " Faculty News By Mrs. Ethel l^pps The Sealtest Company recently made an undesignated gift of $30 0 to Charlotte College, and President Cone has allocated this money for the purchase of library books. Miss Mozelle Sherger reports that Miss Ruth Blackwelder, of the History Department, will se lect rare North Carolina history books for the library’s state history collection. The Sealtest gift will be spent on building up this collection. On July 1, 1962, our library had 18,249 volumes catalogued. Approximately 4,000 additional volumes were catalogued during the summer months. At present there are on order 1,444 new books, and the staff is currently processing 2,612 new acquisitions. With present holdings amounting to 24,289 vol umes, Miss Sherger estimates that the library wiU contain 35,000 volumes by the time Charlotte College becomes a four-year institution. Several reference books are missing from the library. Vol umes 14 and 18 of the Encyclo pedia Americana, volume 13 of the eleventh edition of Britannica, and volume 3 ofMasterplotshave been missing since before the Christmas holidays. These books would be very difficult to re place. Miss Sherger requests that students look among their books at home and see whether any of these volumes can be found. * * * Dr. Macy of the foreign lang uage department has an exciting collection of new films about the art, architecture, and history of France. He plans to accumulate an extensive library of films dealing h the cultures of Ger-> many, France, Spain and the South American countries. As soon as the foreign language department receives the new projector which has been requested, the films will be made available to students of history, art, and architecture, as well as to foreign language students. • * * Mr. Jphn Norman of the chem istry department has changed his residence for tne first time in his life. Mr. Norman was born at 1221 S. Graham St. in Charlotte and has lived at that address continuously until Dec ember of last year, when he moved into a newly purchased residence at 3501 Barringer- Drive. His removal leaves only two of the original families liv ing in the 1200 block of South Graham St. Students will be happy to know that during examinations the So cial Committee of the Student Council Will provide coffee for refreshments of the students and faculty. Final arrangements have not been made. Dr. Herbert Hechenbleikner is working on the site of the new plant nursery and greenhouse. These buildings are to be con structed near the permanent boiler plant. The new pond in the College Arboretum is finished. Since the arboretum is to be used as a planting area, the pond will not be stocked. Dr. Heck has lots of guppies to"' give away to anybody who would like to have them. The creatures may be seen in the aquarium in the geology lab. Student Poll (Continued From Page One) to me, has no purpose; it is a waste of time. But I believe that another student should have free dom to think or act . . . should be restricted only when he harms his surrounding society. Vance Johnson: People who come to school for an education need some recreation of some sort to release pressure. A'per- son should not come here to fritter his time away. There should be more seriousness in the attitude of the students. I am a- gainst trying to start a fraterni ty out here without the sanction of the College. Calvin Beckwith: The problem of Charlotte College is having a framework within which we can have a strong fraternity system. Inter-group competition is the^ best way to stimulate student actions, both academic and, social. We should have some real, nationally established fra ternities that would live up to the standards that were placed on it. Manuel Kennedy; Charlotte CoUege is a grovnng school with a briUiant future; however, the one thing which I feel would hurt_ its standing would be for it to become a “fraternity school.” When I say “fraternity school,” I mean that fraternities become more important than scholarship. It Is very easy to say ‘‘It can’t happen to us.” However, this has happened to many other (Continued On Page fhree) • SUSAN WEBER Collegian Gets Editor The Oharlotte OoUege is proud to announce that it now has a full-fledged editor. Miss Susan Weber. Af ter serving for some time as acting editor and doing more than her share of work for the paper, Susan ia finally going to receive credit for her efforts. One of South Mecklenburg’s several gifts to the college, Susan is among Charlotte College’s brighter students. She won an Observer scholarship through her good work inJunior Achieve ment and is presently working for The Charlotte News on Satur days. If you would like an extra sample of Susan’s work, read Saturday’s obituary column every week! Born in Somerset, Kentucky, Susan has lived in Charlotte for the past two and one-half years. In her little spare time she manages to squeeze in many outside interests, which include reading, boys, talking on the phone, and hounding reporters who don’t get their stories in on time. For such a small girl (5’2” tall, seventeen years old), she manages to instill a lot of terror in her lazy staff. The staff and advisor all ap plaud the Student Council’s mid year appointment of Miss Weber as editor of the newspaper. Edi tor Weber will give Charlotte College a paper of which it can be proud.
