Geology Class
Chalks Up Another
Field Trip
Well, they’ve been on another!
Where to? Lake Waccamaw, a
very scenic spot near Wilming
ton. Nine students and Dr. Hech-
enbleikner spent a busy week-end
hunting fossils, going boatriding,
and taking in the bowling alleys
and night spots of Wilmington.
They left Charlotte Saturday
morning, spent the day and night
at Lake Waccamaw, and left ear
ly Sunday morning for Ft. Fisher
and Kure’s beach. Sunday night
they were back in Charlotte after
a very eventful week-end.
Joe Bookout
Joe Bookout is a name that
will probably be put in the dic
tionary someday as a synonym
for "brains.” Joe, a Phi Beta Kap
pa member, was very active all
the way through school. In high
school he won the J. C. Ott’s
Award and Scholarship given by
Central High School for outstand
ing leadership and citizenship
and the Lions’ Club Award and
Scholarship for "outstanding
work done in the physical
sciences.”
After finishing high school he
entered N. C. State College to
work toward a B. S. degree in
chemical engineering: however,
the following year he changed
schools and entered Charlotte
College where he stayed for two
terms. Although Joe’s record in
chemistry was above average, he
was dissatisfied and uninterested
in his work. Consequently, he de-

Woodworking
Class Offered
At C.C.
A second class in woodworking
is being taught at Charlotte Col
lege this quarter. This non-college
credit course, open to men and
women, began March 21, and the
class meets Tuesday nights from
7 to 10 o’clock. This course will
last for 12 weeks. Enrollment, lim
ited to 20 students, is partially
filled.
Claude A. Bell of the industrial
arts department of Central High
school is the instructor for the
course. Mr. Bell received his Bach
elor’s degree from Western Ken
tucky State college and his Mas
ter’s degree from the University
of Missouri.
Instruction is given in machine
and hand woodworking. The pow-
! er tools available for the class
are lathes, planers, saws (circu
lar, band, and jig), jointer, drill
press with router bits and mor
tising attachments, and sanding
equipment.
The course is presented to pro
vide basic hand and machine in
struction for beginning students
and power tools and additional
information for the advanced
woodworker.
The first class in woodworking
offered at Charlotte college was
given during the winter quarter,
w’hich closed on the night of
March 17. It was accompanied by
capacity enrollment of 21 stu-
dents.
Merchandising
Students Offered
New Course
Another one of the new courses
which are being offered at C. C.
this Spring quarter is business
law. This is one of the courses
in the curriculum designed to
train merchandising students.
Other courses offered in the new
quarter for this group of students
are business mathematics and
marketing.
William Webb, with an A.B.
degree from Washington and Lee
in 1942, and an LL.B. degree from
Harvard University in 1948, is
the instructor of the class in
business law. Mr. Webb, who has
recently passed the written exam
ination for the North Carolina
bar, is now associated witH gen
eral counsel’s office of Belk De
partment stores. His more than
three years of service during the
war were spent in AAF Board
headquarters. Although a native
j of Cincinnati, Mr. Webb’s mar
riage to a niece of Mrs. Andrew
Blair has brought him to Char
lotte.
The course in business law in
cludes a survey of the law of con
tractors and the law of sales. Al
so, brief attention is paid to the
legal aspects of various types of
business organizations. It is a
I course which will be of signifi-
I cance to persons whose business
1 activities involve dealing with
, present or future purchases of
i merchandise or services. The pur-
j pose of this course is not to teach
law in the academic sense, but
! to furnish an elementary guide
to the legal aspects of everyday
commercial transactions.
The class in business law, lim
ited to 35 students, now has less
than a dozen vacancies in it.
