OCTOBER, 1964 COLLEGIAN PAGE 3 CC Rider By E. CLARY Return of Flaggart Americans everywhere, r e- joice! The Honorable Reginald M. Flaggart is back. Those of you v/ho followed the campaign of the Cocktail Party presidential candidate last term will be pleased to hear from him again, I’m sure. For those of you who were lucky and didn’t follow it, here is a brief review ol impor tant statements attributed to the honorable one. On women in politics: “I see no harm in having a woman Presi dent, but the country would have to adjust to having a First Gentleman.” On religion in politics: “I don’t think religion will play a part in this election and I can see no reason why my being a Sun Wor shipper wo'uld influence any voters.” On foreign aid: “I must confess that I haven’t tried it (foreign aid) yet. I like Kool Aid and Miracle Aid, though.” On gold out-flow: “All we have to do is find a couple of good alchemists and our worries are over.” On the Supreme Court’s ban ning ol prayer in the public schools: “It is my opinion that, with all the new and complicated things they’re trying to teach, the kids haven’t had a prayer for quite some time now.” On Viet-Nam: “I feel that a couple of shipments of Clearasil should change the complexion of the war substantially.” On how to fight poverty: “Siend the Marines.” In answer to charges that many of his answers are evasive: “No comment, but don’t quote me.” Now that you know where Flaggart stands. I’m sure that you will worship the ground thereon. IS JS CHEWING ENJOYMENT Clap hands; one, two. Let’s all go to the Wiggley Zoo. Chitter, chatter, whinny, neigh. When you talk to the animals they put away. Let’s talk to Freddie Frog to day. Let’s see what Freddy has to say. “When I was just so very young, I learned to catch bugs with my tongue. But my tongue must be very sticky; I can’t catch bugs if it is slicky. To keep my tongue from get|ting numb, I chew Wiggley’s spearmint gum. I chew lumps so big I almost choke, and scare Ma Frog and make her croak.” The proceeding was a paid advertisement. THE POP-TOP SCARE There seems to be a growing apprehension toward pop-tops. Apparently pop-top beer cans are quite nice, but women’s pop-top bathing suits are something else. After all, when a beer can pops its top you only see a head, but v/hen a woman pops her top you see considerably more. The whole topless mess began when some fashion designer got his snapshot of the “Playboy Playmate” mixed in with his new swim suit designs. His designs had already been published by the time he discovered his mis take. This guy could have cleared up the whole thing by explaining what happened,, iput he didn’t want his mother to know that he had been reading such lewd literature, so he kept quiet. Well, as everyone knows, the topless fads began to catch on. or rather fall off, around the country. It was not encouraged, however. Police in all states virere instruct ed to put the pinch on the young lovlies who wore them in public. Young men suddenly began to regard law enforcement as a re warding career. To top off the top-off news, someone designed a bathing suit that was topless and bottomless. This wasn’t very difficult; all the designer had to do was leave his sketch paper blank. It was very easy to manufacture, also. As one producer said, “There’s really no thing to it.” By the way, this suit sells for twenty-five dollars and is nown in fashion circles as the “birthday suit”. Now evening gowns with trans parent tops are becoming the vogue for fall night life. Women can save money by making these gowns themselves out of a roll ol cellophane and a few l^ows. I- these gowns become popular ir the Charlotte area, I predict that attendance at formal dances will increase sharply and that attend ance at the Astor theatre will dt dine some what. « # « THE CLOSE THAT REFRESHES You have now read to the close of another refreshing C. C. Rider. I will leave you with one final thdught. Since beauty is only skin deep, why don’t some people turn themselves inside out. Bock Loss In Library-An Editorial Books are disappearing from the shelves of the Charlotte Col lege Library. This deplorable loss represents a serious threat to the to the progress of our institution toward university status. Loss c volumes from our library through pilfering and vandalism has a crippling efifect upon the develop ment of the excellent academic library envisioned for Charlotte College. No library can afford a steady drain upon its resources by theft, and the Charlotte C lege Library should n*t be so handicapped in realizing its aims Book loss, while a financial in road upon budget, cannot be equated in terms of money alone. Out-of-print volumes are at times irreplaceable and the cost of -e- placing in-print volumes is often not as important as the time fac tor involved. Not only the time required in the actual reordering, but more important the time loss suffered when the voluve is not available when most needed by faculty and students. These valu es cannot be measured, and only those who are confronted with the situation of a missing book . f .-r. can assess the extent of the de privation. Freedom in the use of books afforded by the open shelf sys tem at Char)otte College Library, as opposed to the closed stacks of many academic libraries, offers such an educational advantage to the students that it would be most regettable to have to restrict student contact with books be cause of the misuse of this privi lege by the irresponsible. The library tries to operate un der as flexible policy as possible in the circulation of books. Al lowances are made for individual needs whenever possible. Books are renewable for a longer period of use unle.'-s requested by another user. Photocopying of pages of volumes that cannot be checked out is provided at a nominal charge. A library with open shelves demands the same kind of honor system that an un-proc- tored examination requires from students. It is imperative that those few students who do not as j’et respect the needs of others will respond with a mature ac ceptance of their responsibility. Will they? Photo Club To Organize CCUN Meeting Students all over the world have a keen interest In what is going on in the international arena. They have a significant role in important develonments on the national and international levels. Some of taday’s students will be tomorrow’s leaders. The Charlotte College Chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations will hold a meet ing on Wednesday, October 14. in C.P. 206 at 12:15 p,m, to consider forming an International Rela tions Cluti. CCUN members and all foreign students are urged to attend. Faculty members and stu dents are welcome. Coffee will be served. Any student who is interested but cannot attend this meeting may leave his nam.e and tele phone number at the CU desk or contact Mrs. Edyth Winningham or Rasmi Shalabi, CCUN Presi dent. Photographers wanted. This is the cry that is going up as Char lotte College tries to organize its first photography club. The drive is being headed Ijy Tommy Estridge, a senior and Chief Photographer on the Si and the Collegian. If enough in terest in forming the club is shown, members will draw up a contitution and present it to the Student Legislature for issuance of a charter. The club will try to help the neophyte photographers as well as to encourage the more advanc ed members to progress both esthetically and technically. The club will have audio visual pro grams from the Eastman Kodak Company and will also have speakers from the various photo graphic professions around Char lotte. One thing that will interest all photographers will be several “shooting sessions”. At these meetings the club will work shooting something such as a still life or a model. After each such session, each photographed will print up his best shots and there will be a judging of the best prints. At the present, the club will use the darkroom used by the annual and the newspaper. Each club member wil furnish his own paper and chemical and will be given instruction in proper use of the darkroom. When the new addition to' the College Union is finished, there v/ill be a new darkroom in it. This darkroom will have several separate rooms for developing film as well as several printing rooms. This will enaMe several people to work at the same time, and will allow many more stu dents to have access to a dark room, At present the darkroom is restricted to the annual and newspaper photographers. As Tommy Estridge, organizer of the club says. “Photography is one of those rare things that i? hard to put into a neat cubby hole. It it partially science, be cause both chemistry and physics are involved in the process. It is partially communication, becaus it can be used to trasmit more thought and emotion in one in stance than any other means o' communication. It is partially art because it is capable of producing images of great beauty.” “I hope that we can get thi." club going to stimulate interest in this expressive medium and also to provide the various col lege publications with photo graphers. I hope that someday Charlotte College will offer a pro gram similar to that of the Ro chester Institute of Technology, and give the BFA, and BS de grees in photography. Christmas Comes To C G By BETTYE TRAPPS Deck the halls with boughs of holly, but trim the tree with books. This will be the general theme of the Christmas party in the college library on December 6. The party, planned by the Col lege Branch, American Associa tion of University Women will honor groups and individuals who have given books to the library.

Ragtime Revisited Max Morath brought his one- man show Ragtime Revisited to Charlotte College on Friday, October 2 at 8:15. Morath is con sidered todays leading exponent of ragtime music and the ener getic America that spawned it at the turn of the century. Morath’s romp through the rag time years, peppered with songs and piano solos lovingly re-creat ed in the authentic styles of the period, was paced with a brand of humor and satire strictly of the present. As one critic remark ed, Morath gives his audience “the fizz of sophistication with chasers of sentimentality.” The performance in the Li brary Auditorium was enjoyed by the students and faculty last Fri day night. Ragtime and Morath keep each other busy in a steady round of performances for colleges, conven tions and nightclubs. His synco pated itinerary has led from the honky-tonks of Colorado’s storied ghost towns, to New York’s so phisticated Blue Angel, and from Stanford University to N.Y.U. For television, in addition to commercial and guest appearan ces, Morath has written and per formed two series of half hovir shows. The Ragtime Era and Turn of the Century. He is an Epic re cording artist and is also active as a writer and composer. Dubbed the “ideal spokesman” for ragtime by Variety magazine and the “folk hero of the spread ing ragtime cult” by Time, Mo rath admtis that ragtime and the vigerous, confident years from which it sprang have him com pletely captivated. And though he lives solidly in the present, with a wife, three children and a mortgage in Denver, Colorado, he slips gleefully into the past whenever he presents Ragtime Revisited. Max Morath — the man who College. “revisited” ragtime at Charlotte
