APRIL. 1963 TBE CHABLOTTE OOLLEOIAN PAGE THREE Student Poll By BILL NEWMAN What do you think of the elec tion results? Norris Purser (freshman): I think that the campaign was con- •ducted with a lot of mud slinging. Untrue statements were made about things they were going to do if and when they were elec ted, when many of the issues had already been passed by the Student Council. I’m glad that the majority of the students re alized the tactics that were be ing used, and I’m glad the elec tion turned out as it did. Lloyd Morris (sophomore): I was surprised at the way that the candidates acted at the de cision. Manuel Kennedy (soph): I ap prove of the fact that the.students showed their opinion. Charles Helton (soph): I’m ex tremely happy. Judy Morgan (soph): Well, I’ll admit I’m not too happy with the two candidates that are up for the office of president, but I think that they won fair and square, and I do not think that there should have been a run off between the top three, be cause this would be going against the constitution. Gwynn Lamm (fresh): I’m happy about the general way the whole election turned out. Ethelyn McMillan (fresh); I tWnk that Beth should have won, but I am happy about it with the exception of the office of pres ident. John Harmon (fresh): No com ment. Sally Hillert (fresh): I think that each gf the candidates had a string tied to him, and each was controlled by a certain body. The students have boiled their soup: now they must eat it. Frank Swearngan (fresh): I think that the students could have made a better choice than they did under the circumstances. I blame myself as much as the other students. Rodney Stewart (fresh): Let me think. We could say that it’s up to the students to select their officers. Let’s face it. We have more qualified persons than we put up for the offices. Bert Allen (soph): I’m afraid that what I have to say about the elections would take more room in this paper than I’m allotted. With the exception of Joe Williamson, who I think will slow down the proceedings in the Student Council meetings, I am very much pleased with the out come of the elections. Bob Alexander (soph): I believe that the candidates that have been elected so far are the most capable of their position. Jenney Bethune (fresh): I thought that, even though the elec tions were held in a mud-battling way, the ultimate outcome so far is satisfactory. Also, it brought out good school spirit. Future Teachers Attend Convention Five members of the Char lotte College chapter of the Students National Education As sociation went to Asheville for the state convention on Friday, March 23. These future teachers were Larry Lynn, GUnda Trull, Antoinette Eubanks, Patsy Helf- ner, and Ralph King. At noon they attended a lunch eon at the Battery Park Hotel, where the state officers of 1962- 63 were introduced and the can didates for 1963-64 were pre sented. The new officers were elected and installed later. Dr. Joseph Bryson, of Appa lachian State Teachers CoUege, gave the luncheon address. The theme for the convention was “Learning --Passport to Free- ■ dom.” That evening the student mem bers of NEA attended the Gen eral Session along with teachers, principals, and professors. As future teachers from each college were presented to the audience, Antoinette Eubanks and Ralph King represented C. C. They were chosen on the basis of their work in the local chapter. Dr. Carl E. Byers, lecturer and consultant for General Mo tors Corporation, gave the address for the evening. He be lieves that humor should be in jected into everything, in cluding teaching. Dr. Byers be lieves everyone should laugh at least three times a day regard less of how bad things may be. Saturday morning, after an ad dress by Tim Ryles, president of Student NEA, local chapter re ports filled out the business ses sion. Patsy Heifer reported from C. C. on plans to invite high school future teachers from Mec klenburg and Cabarrus counties to attend a special program at Charlotte College. Student Council (Continued From Page One) Student Council. The Constitutional Revision Committee is continuing its work of revising the constitution. Since the Constitutional Amendment which was voted on by the students did pass, the constitu tion will contain the amendment' allowing for the election of junior class officers.

A committee has been set up to study this situation and re port to the Council as soon as possible. Picnic Is Planned The Student Council is spon soring a picnic on Saturday, May 4.

They Fly I ‘Wild Blue In the Student Lounge four full-time students can be heard chewing the rag about transi tions, cross-country line checks, standardization rides, and such matters. Sam Lindeman, Ronald Pool, Ronald Small, and John Holland all earn their pin money by flying with the 156th Aero- medical Transportation Squadron of the N. C. Air National Guard. As medical technicians, these students ride the back end of a C-121C Constellation at 10,000' feet and practice keeping forty- two little “patients” comforta ble. On practice flights they may take turns being an unruly or uncomfortable patient. Training flights range over the three-state area from North Carolina to Georgia, and two or three evening flights during the week wUl add up to an average eight hours of flying.

Oh, I’m sure I’ve forgotten something, but I can’t remember what. Oh. well . . . Time to go out and celebrate the opening of the holiday season! Saturday, April 13 -- Oh, my head! I guess I celebrated a little too much. I surely don’t feel like starting on my Bo tany term paper this morning. I think I’ll just rest up today; I’ve been working so hard, and the weather’s wonderful. Be sides, I’ve got to wash my hair and get ready for that party at Jackie’s tonight! Sunday, April 14 -- Oh, I do wish I could sleep late. This Sunrise Service, after getting in at 3:00 A. M. , is not going to be a habit of mine. I was going to read my history, but we are having company all day and all night. Oh, well. I’ll do it tomorrow. Monday, April 15 -- Started on my poetry this morning, but gave it up as a lost cause-- the sun is shining too brightly. Tuesday, April 16 - - I started my Botany term paper, but just as 1 got out my notebook. Mo ther decided that spring house cleaning was in order. Ugh! We washed windows, beat rugs, waxed floors, aired mattresses, and dusted until we were ex hausted, but not too exhausted for me to go bowling. Bed-time: 1:30 AJvl. Wednesday, April 17 -- I just remembered that I don’t have summer clothes! Therefore, the whole day has been devoted to shopping. I spent a fortune, and is Dad’s roof ever going to fly off when he finds out! Poor me Thursday,- April 18 -- With all these new summer clothes, I can’t possibly turn down an in vitation to a beach houseparty. We leave at 3:30 A. M. tomor row. Friday, April 19 -- Saturday, April 20 -- Sunday, April 21- WOW! Monday, April 22 -- I just can’t see where all the time went. We got out on Friday, AprU 12, and here it is April 22 already. Oh, well, guess I’ll start my term papers this week end . . . Always A Lady By Penney Miller Some strange things have happened to Daddy and me in our rather unorthodox adventures together. The particular es capade I have in mind occurred one cold, wet October afternoon. Discouraged with our progress in water-sWing, we had vowed on Sunday to ski the next Wednesday, come what might. Daddy, not being one to go back on his word, met me after school with the boat hitched to the back of the car and my swim suit dangling from his hand. Neither of us said much as we drove toward the river during that miserable afternoon. Daddy had to concentrate too hard on driv ing because of the fog. Only the dog in the back seat seemed excited at the prospect of a boat ride. Black River never looked cold er or wetter, but Daddy would not back down, and I certainly was not going to give in. For tunately the boat refused to start, but my father kept tinkering with it, until a half hour later he had the motor chugging slow ly— not enough power, how ever, to puU a skier. Quietly rejoicing. Daddy, dog, and I climbed into our old twelve- foot put-put to go for a little ride. I had piloted the boat about two miles upstream when we saw two ‘gators and decided it was a good time to turn around. Gunning the boat for all she could do on the home stretch, I heard a sudden loud noise be hind me and turned the switch off immediately. Proudly I turned arond to brag to Father about my presence of mind—how cool in a crisis. I shall never forget what I saw. Daddy, with his arms still stretched along the back of the seat, was sitting calmly up to his waist in water, while the dog, Murch, was clambering for ground than Dad’s lap. Very calmly Daddy said. “The back is off the boat.” Things happened fast then. Soon the boat was under water, and we were swimming to shore. This strethch of bank was too steep and muddy, however, and the current was too strong for us to set foot on dry land. We knew we would have to swim all the way back to pur car. So we threw the bow line of our boat over an overhanging limb, in order to locate the sunken craft later, and struck out swimming back. Meanwhile. Murch struck out on his own ans was vainly trying to climb the muddy bank, but the tide was too swift for us to get back to him. Knowing thecurrent and the ‘gators, I dared not even pray to see him again. An hour later the sun was setting on two cold swimmers , and Murch’s barking had stopped-- I knew he was gone. Late that night we returned with our kayak to search for pieces of Murch and the boat. After hours on the Black River, we (Continued On Page Four) THE AMBER HOUSE RESTAURANT 5G25 N.
