I -The C.C. Rider- I By E. Clary Flaggart Arrested The Honorable Reginald M. Flaggart, the presidential candi date of the Cocktail Party, was arrested early this morning near Charlotte on charges of reckless driving. The folowing interview comes to you from the city jail. Your honor, I can’t believe you’re he^^. There must be some mistake. With what type of reckless driving are you accused? Son, don’t get upset. This is all a misunderstanding. I was ^ merely straddling the center line on the highway in order to demonstrate that I am a Middle- of-the-Road candidate. Some idiot patrolman called this reck less driving. The brutality of police in this area is alarming. While we’re on the subject, would you care to elaborate on your political leanings. Sir? I lean slightly to the right, but only when the corn on my left big toe is acting up. Actu ally I always try to stand straight and tall, as opposed to leaning either to the right or to the left, because I learned as a young man that it would keep me out of trouble. While at a wild party, I became slightly fatigued. 1 leaned against the wall and someone stepped on my hand. That’s what taught me my lesson. I’ve heard that you’ve acquired a mascot for your campaign. Is this correct? Yes. My mascot is a genuine mallard duck. I think this duck is a fitting symbol because, after all, we’re both quacks. How do you feel about the Su preme Court’s ban on prayer in the public schools? I really can’t understand why such a fuss is being made over this issue. It is my opinion that, with all the new and com plicated things they’re trying to teach, the kids haven’t had a prayer for quite some time now! Are you in favor of establish ing a federal boxing commission in order to weed hoodlums out of boxing? No, but I’m going to investi gate wrestling, I have been alarmed by reports that some wrestling matches are fixed. You have stated that, if you’re elected, you will see to it that the U. S. stays far ahead of Russia in the arms race. How do you intend to do so. Your Honor? I ’ve picked up a five-armed freak from a sideshow who has agreed to become my Secretary of Defense. He’ll have a five-to- two advantage over his Russian counterpart. He tells me that we will soon have a fleet of octopi, also. Do you plan to change our space program in any way? Yes. I have a leading scientist in my pay at the present time who is on the verge of making an important space breakthrough. He is now in the process of studying Mother Goose to discov er what type of propelant the cow used in his historic jump over the moon. Would you care to make a final statement? I, the Honorable Reginald M. Flaggart, would like to leave the people with the news which is found on the cover of my cam paign matchbooks. “Close cover before striking.” THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN May 11, 1964 Page 3 Alabama Quartet The Alabama Quartet, Quar- tet-In-Residence of the Univer- ' sity of Alabama since 1950, gave an excellent exhibition of the capabilities and variations of the chamber music art form in the Library Auditorium on the eve ning of May 5. The modern-day Muzak can compare in function, but by no means in artistry, with chamber music The selections presented by Emil Raab and Michael Gatozzi, violinists, Margaret Christy, Cell ist, and Henry Barrett, violist, are examples of this fact. Like ’ the cathedral builder who ex pressed his skill and his love for his art by fashioning gargoy les in out-of-the-way places of the building, Brahams, Beetho ven, and Ravel, expressed their art by stating, restating, and varying the extended themes of their works. In Beethoven’s Quartet in G Major, Op 18, No 2, the first move ment gave the first and second violinists opportunities to display ,their virtuosities, with a good example of cooperation between lead violins and accompaniment given by the second movement. and a dazzling display of sheer technical skill in the third. Ra vel and the lack of technica fire works made for good chamber music, but can be a bit tedious to listen to for listening’s sake. Brahams put his instruments to maximum use, as cellist and violist both had their opportu nity to lead the selection for a proportionate amount of time. Brahams, along with Beethoven, tried for variation, but while Beethoven varied his themes themselves, Brahams had a ten dency to resort to mechanical variations, or example, the third movement of his Quartet in A minor, OP. 51, No. 2, Quasi Mi- nuetto, modcralo, was predomi nated by a theme plucked out on all instruments. The cues come from the lead part, or first violinist. The Quar tet showed a bit of weakness in this lead position, but that did not adversly affect the perfor mance. Generally, his perfor mance was a well-unified, inter esting di.splay of the art of both the composer and the instrumen talist. Alabama Quartet entertains night audi ence with Chamber Music. Miss May Andria Prutnick THE SUPERIOR SEX By SUSAN PROCTOR It’s a man’s world. Think so? Just ask any woman. For years we have been led to believe that the world could not funcition without men. This is true only in a biological sense, which could someday diminish. Great discov eries are being made everyday about some of nature’s most in timate secrets, A known basis of life is the creation of amino acids which eventually lead to life as we know it. It is quite possible, in the distant future for test-tube reproduction to become a reality. What then would become of this supposedly great “Masculine Race” to whom we women are so greatly indebted? Is there any job today that can’t be filled by a woman just as satisfactorily as by a man? We may soon even be referring to the President of the United States as “Madame President.” Want to protest, men? Just write a letter to our "girl editor”; or if you want to go higher, you may write to our college president; or if you’re still not satisfied you may address your compaint to your congresswoman. Women are more determined than men. Have you ever known a woman who didn’t have the first and last word in an argu ment? Or have you ever known a woman to be defeated? Oh, no, when she gets that look ini her eye, you may as well do it her way, men, “Whatever Lola wants Further evidence of female su periority is found in the fact that the female lacrimal glands pro duce more tears than those of a male. And there is no woman alive who hasn’t discovered the power of a feminine tear on a gullible male!!! Also, women have perfected the art of con trolling this powerful weapon at will. And what any easy job they have. One crocodile tear, or in nocent, angelic smile from a be guiling daughter of Eve and the ignorant, unsuspecting male is under her command. Men are conceited egotists. One word of flattery (which he already sincerely believes to be true of himself) is sufficient to guarantee a girl full reign. It’s a known fact that a boy chases a girl until she catches him. Let him think he’s the bo-ss, girls, and he’ll do anything you want him to. Furthermore, he’ll be con vinced it was his idea! Women are rt^ore versatile than men. Where would you ever find a man who knew twenty-five uses for an ordinary bobby pin, the name of every creation in a Dior fashion line, and a secret system of balancing checks that surpasses the intelligence of any man? When I speak of men, the term is used in a general sense. No attempt as being made to classify them all, but only a part—99%. Naturally every male who reads this article will put himself in the rare one per cent. However, if a close “inventory” were taken, most would come under the lar ger part. Let’s examine the subject of intelligence. Girls excell by far in this category. More girls use the library than do boys; and girls, consequently, make better grades. It is easy for girls to make higher grades because they also possess the talent of luring boys away from their studies. This enable the girl to put less time on their studies and still beat the boys. Also, take a look at the number of girls who eat nutri tious meals in the cafeteria. Where are the boys? At a local drive-in for hamburgers and beer. Is there anything more egotis tical than a successful man? But do you think he worked for it? Oh, no, behind every successful man is a successful woman who pushed him all the way. After reading this article ,if you still think it’s a man’s world, you are either of low intelligence or you are a Man!! Andrews Elected Ed if or of Collegia a Robert Andrews is the new Editor of the Charlolle Collegian. He was electerd at a staff meet ing on Wednesday, April 27, At one time Bob was Editor of the Parnassian, the Charlotte College literary magazine. He will officially begin his duties as Editor of the Collegian on May 13 along with the rest of tho staff members. He assisted jn putting out this present issue cf the paper. Bob Andrews plans to have a stronger editorial policy in the future. There will also be a Stu dent Legislature reporter whose assignment will be to report on all business conducted during the meetings. This information will be given a prominent placo in the paper. The newspaper in the futiie intends to have better club news. A wider, more detailed coverage of sports is planned. This will include having a Collegian re porter at all games—especially out of town games. The paper will attempt to have more advertising in the future, perhaps making weekly publica tion possible. First semester the paper will come out every two weeks, second semester plans are in a state of flux. This will give a more up-to-date coverage of second semester news. Bob Andrews had this com ment to make about the paper: “With the possible expansion cl the paper the burden on tho staff will be increased. I hope that the old staff members wiJl become the hard core of the paper or the actual editorial staff, and that we will gain new stafT members who can start on the- ground level of reporting and become permanent members cl the staff.” It is hoped that in the future any intere.stel student will feci free to offer contributions or sug gestions to the paper. Bob feels that a sincere effcit will be made by the staff to pre sent an informative, timely newspaper to the students ol Charlotte College. In summation he made the following statement: “1 was honored to receive the positicri as editor because I felt that ,( could institute the above men tioned policies, thereby makinj^ possible a more newspaperliko publication for the benefit of the entire school.” Bob Andrews speaks abovit his editorship of the newspcp- er for 64-65.
