Elected Leaders
Must Have Followers
The students of Charlotte College have now chosen their
leaders for the year ahead. They have chosen by election,
leaders to guide them through the first year as students
at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. They have
given overw^helming votes of cofidence to nearly all of the
victorious candidates. They have made their wishes for
student government forcefully known by giving support to
the various candidates.
Now it seems to many the students’ duties are over with
the election of leaders. But this is not so. It seems to many
that the students have eleced officers who will fulfill their
respective campaign promises and do their respective duties
in fine style. But it just isn’t that way. When the students
decided on a candidate and liked what that particular can
didate promimsed and voted for him, he might think his job
is done. Whether or not he realized it though, he himself
pledged to help the candidate fulfill the campaign promises.
When he marked an X beside a candidates name on the ballot
he signed a pledge promising to help that candidate keep all
campaign promises.
We have elected good leaders. But the students must
not forget that they are only that. They are only leaders. It
does no good to elect the best leaders in the world if there
are to be no followers. Therefore, we must follow. When we
chose a candidate for a position of leadership, we promised
to follow.
The leaders we have chosen are good ones. And we
shall attempt to hold them to their campaign prmises. But
first let’s keep our campaign prmises.
Late The Last Time
Yep, we’re late again. But we hope it will be the last
Letters To The Editor
Thanks For The Support
Editors, The Collegian
I would like to take this op
portunity to thank everyone who
supported and voted for me in the
campaign and election. The tremen

will better enable me to represent
our student body in dealing with
the school administration and in
getting programs enacted that will
be of benefit to our entire student

college has paid the construction
company to plant grass in some
areas already and I understand
why the college does not want to
pay someone else to have the same

The Collegian has again set about to find a suitable
printer. The last one, Davidson Printing Company, was re
sponsible for four late issues of the paper. We hope they
have delayed their last Collegian.
Furthermore, The Collegian plans on coming out once
every week next year and a Charlotte printer would be more
convenient than a Davidson one.
The move as of this issue is to G. And H. Printing
Company in Charlotte. Due to the new schedule The Collegian
was unable to come out last Tuesday. However, a new issue
of The Collegian will be on the stands (WE HOPE) every
other Thursday until school lets out.
Please bear with us.
Congrats To Circle K
On March 26-28 the Charlotte College Circle K Club
traveled to East Carolina College and won the Achievement
trophy for the Carolinas Conference. (See story on page 1.)
Students on this campus can certainly understand why.
For the past year Circle K havs proven itself invaluable
to this school. Every time one turns around there’s another
(Circle K service project going on.
At the beginning of the year Circle K conducted its
semi-annual book exchange. Though the club did make money
from the project, it was mainly a service to the students.
Students who participated in the exchange will certainly
atest to its value.
Then there were car washes, ushering for this, ushering
for that, building one Christmas parade float, etc., etc., etc.
The latest project was selling cups of coffee at one dollar
each to collect funds for the Easter Seal Program.
The Collegian congratulates Charlotte College Circle K
club on this very deserving award.

From the beginning I m going
to be concerned with the language
of social intercourse between in
tellectuals. The code, when broken
down to it’s smallest units, goes
like this: A is used as an article;
B is synonimous with being; C is
synonimous with the verb see; D
with devil; E is evil; F is failure;
G is God. H is the traditional sym
bol of religion; I is eye; J is Jay;
K is king; L is the symbol of au
tonomy; M as me or Ma; N is the
preposition in; 0 is naught; P is
pie; Q is queer; R is the verb are;
S is snake; T is tie; U is you; V
is versus; W is double you; X is
the prefix ex; Y is used as eye;
Z symbolizes finality. Many of the
letters that sound alike are inter-
changable such as V for V. The
first letters A. B. C. D. F have im
plications of evaluation as you are
graded in school.
Actually many words can fit the
code, but in general it is as I have
stated. In it’s use today the code
is primarily by syllable analysis.
Take the syllables of a word and
turn each division around in your
head, and a cluster of new mean
ings will appear. Then when you
begin to combine the letters into
syllables; syllables into words into
phrases; phrases into sentences;
and sentences into paragraphs,
meanings at different levels be
come clear. And the code is expres
sive of the philosophy of reason;
one can take the word pie and write
volumes in social studies and other
fields when pie is considered the
direct or indirect object of all.
time goes by.
knit “we” with the potential voter
which disolves after the vote has
been cast—unless there is another
election the poor suckers can be

The idealistic question to be pos

test your ideals and let the voters
judge “the real you” and vote ac
cordingly ?

we have a new printer for this issue hurrah hurrah
i understand that this was necessary because the last
printer lost his seeing eye dog
everytime we change printers i lead the chers with

let us hope that this is the last hurrah
i understand that the new 45 rpm record by the winstons
with charlotte in may on one side and a jazz folk hebrew
swinger called eretz on the flip side is the best sound
to hit charlotte in a long time
but i may be prejudiced
if you have any ideas for the 1965 1966 social cultural

i think this means i should see a doctor to revitalize

the only thing more disturbing than the lousy turnout for
charlotte college elections is the fact that too many people
seem to think that it is a good turnout
there is a basic flaw in the character of a person who is
inconsiderate enough to leave a sloppy taWe in the cafeteria
or to take a book out of the library without cheeking it out
and the unfortunate thing is that he will prdbably go on to
bigger and better inconsiderations
