Hard Fight, We Won
A jubilant call from the office of 'Uie Chairman of
the Board of Hig'her Education to President Bonnie E.
Gone, culminated months of hard worik, worry, and late
office hours for everyone from Dr. Cone herself right
down to the secretaries in the office. The movement
to ma^e Charlotte College a senior college began more
than a year ago, with the formation of the State Board
of Higher Education being a step in the right direction,
but it took legislative action to create the statewide
network of state-supported institutions under which
Charlotte College would operate a» an independent,
state-supported school.
Several obstacles, the latest being the dispute over
the name of “North Carolina State” in the new system,
had to be overcome before the biU, entitled "An Act to
Promote and Encourage Education Beyond the High
School in North Carolina,’*’ was finally made law on May
10th.
The new law, to take effect on July 1st of this
year, will specifically allow C.C. to “...provide under
graduate instruction in the liberal arts and sciences,
the training of teachers, and such graduate profes'sion-
al, and other undergraduate programs as are deemed
necessary to meet the needs of their constituencies and
of the State and as shall be appoved by the North Caro
lina Board of Higher Education, consistent with ap
propriations provided therefor.” The preceding will be
included in the new charter for Uie college.
Red-Headed Spirit
“Once upon a dme” a Student Union building went up at CX;.
It was a long time ago, but a few remember those days. It was
a fine place and as 50U can see, Pete, it has become better and
better. Many of the students back in the fall of ‘63 missed a
familiar face around the campus, a red-head.
This red-head had been at CC then for many years, she had been
a Distributive Education teacher at “Old Central High.” She had
been with CC for five, maybe seven or eight years before ‘63.
Now, wait a minute. Don’t interrupt me! The story goes that as
the college grew, people were needed in different places. This
red-head switched from teacher to manager. She became manager
of the bookstore. Her effort increased as did her work when the
campus moved. She marshalled the “larder,” which happened to
be a few yards long, and the growing bookstore. Some astounded
students would buy pencils at one side of the lounge and two minutes
later notice that the red-head had beaten them to the snack bar; she
then gave them their cokes.
Well, everyone liked that red-head, and they were sorry to see her
leave. They wanted to do something for her and after thinking for
a while they came up with a good idea. Walk over to the Student
Union Building, Pete, and you’ll see what I mean. This tale is the
story of the end of the snack bar in the Liberal Arts Building. 1 know
that time marches on, Pete, but we sure missed the spirit of Mrs.
Holden back in the fall of ‘63.

president, and Ann Hood will be
the secretary-treasurer.
Next fall when freshman elec
tions are held, the remaining
posts on the Student Council will
be filled.
Interesting note on the light
turnout of voters — the only
sophomore office with opposi
tion was wonby a simple majority
of one vote!
Save-The-Barn

they are being filled as quickly
as possible. A major gap lies
in the Fine Arts division of the
Liberal Arts.
Music is in its infancy. Drama
will not see the Ugfit of day
until “Impromptu,” andthenonly
barely. The barn will give drama
a vitally needed home and en
courage the other performing
arts as well.
RETURN LIBRARY BOOKS
Just a reminder -- no grades,
will be issued, until aU library
books have been returned. Stu
dents are urged to return bor
rowed books by May 29.

HELP
Charlotte College’s library
will be moved to the new library
building during the last week in
June. Mrs. Mozelle S. Scher-
ger would like to have assis
tance in this undertaking from
the regular-session students.
Mrs. Sherger needs volunteers
who will form a “building-to-
building brigade” on the order
of the firefighters’ bucket-bri-
gade. The books would be passed
from hand to hand along this
boy-and-girl conveyor belt,
eliminating the necessity of pack
ing the books into boxes and toting
them^to the new building.
AU interested students are
urged to leave names and tele
phone numbers at the check-out
desk in the library before May
29. All volunteers will be sup
plied, absolutely without charge,
with fresh air, sunshine, and fun.

The Charlotte College faculty
is made up of fine instructors
who have lived in interesting pla
ces. There are men and women
from Spain, France, and Germany
on the teaching staff. We even
have one born and bred Charlot-
tean, Mr. John Norman, who
lived in one residence from the
day of his birth until January
of 1963.
Among those people who lead
exciting lives and do exciting
things is Mile. Marcelle Martin,
who was borninNormandy thir
ty seven years ago. (But she in
sists.) Her father, a civil-ser-
vant in thfe revenue department,
was transferred on several oc
casions, making it possible for
the family to Uve in many areas
of the country.
During the German occupation,
Mile. Martin was in school at
the college of Barbezieux. Ger
man officers were billeted in her
mother’s home during those diffi
cult years, but Mile. Martin
risked danger of arrest by lis-'
tening to B.B.C. broadcasts. On
more than one occasion, she was
reprimanded for ridiculing Ger
man officers and for taunting
them about the aaivities of the
French underground.
Mile, Martin’s first job as a
teacher was with the Hennessy

Dear Reader,
Spring Fever Time has arrived, and Archy the Cockroach has
succumbed almost completely. The result is that his latest idea
came from an artist who signs himself “Rife,” which is obscurely
symbolic.

Wt is a. Good Council.,
i almost didnt make it back
from my visit to charlotte
college^ recently boss
i was walking tlu-ough those
hallowed iveyless halls with
my head in a daze as i listened
to several students discussing
all the faults of their school
and especially their student council
when all of a sudden i found myself
entangled in a cobweb surrountog
a box which was labeled
nofninations for class officers

French Plays
Are Attended
More than a dozen students
from Mile. Marcelle Martin’s
classes travelled to Greensboro
last month to attend productions
in French of “Orphee,” by
Cocteau, and “L’Apollon de Bel-
Jac.” by Giraudoux.
The program had been an
nounced ^early in the semester,
and some study had been devoted
to the text of the two plays, with
additional comments from Mile.
Martin. The students attending
found an evening of French thea
tre very enliglttening and highly
entertaining.
NEW MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL recently assembled in the Ubrary for a group pictiu-e,
which did not turn out so precise as an R.O.T.C. formation. Therefore, a zig-zag identification wUl
start way back in the left corner: Bob Schaeffer, Bob Andrews , Sandra Hodges (treasurer), Malachi
Greene, Tom Meachum (directly behind Greene); John Scott, Judy Hardison, Carol Minnick (secretary).
