Miss Cone Attends N.C.C.C. Meet
Tuesday, Nuveiiibei' 4Ui was the
campaig'tiitiff day for the freshman
class officers. The speeches were
delivered in the balcony of the
auditorium to all who would lend
an ear. From Tuesday until Thurs
day, the hopefuls shook hands with
every prospective voter, hoping to
obtain another “X” on his list. Be

outnumbered by the beautiful girls,
the following boys formed a Pro
gressive Party: Wallace Ford, Ray
Renegar, and Robert Hickey. The
Progressive Party knew the male
students, who comprise more than
the majority of the student body,
would never turn their eyes from
the vivacious girls even to glance
at the boys.
Then the big day arrived! The
polls were opened to every Fresh
man. Voting commenced at 4:00
P. M. and closed at 10:00 P. M. At

When asked to describe the
meaning of the term “Public Re
lations,” W. Emerson Reck, Public
Relations Director, Colgate Univer
sity, gave the following defini
tion:
“Public relations is the contin
ued process of keying policies,
services, and actions to the best
interests of those individuals
whose confidence and good will
individual or institution cov
ets; and secondly, it is the in
terpretation of these policies,
services, and actions to assure
complete understanding.”
Glenn and Denny Griswold, co
editors of Public Relations News,
have the following to say:
“Public Relations . . . evaluates
public attitudes, identifies the
policies and procedui es of an in
dividual or organization with
the public interest, and executes a
program of action to earn pub
lic understanding and accept
ance.”
Believing, as we do, that the
services of Charlotte College are
already keyed to the best interests
of the community, it shall be the
principal aim of your public rela
tions committee to formulate and
execute a program to earn public
understanding and acceptance. We
propose to accomplish this aim by
continuing to use every medium
available to us for keeping the
name, Charlotte College, before
the public.
You, as the student body, are the
most important factor in the public
relations of the school. A cheerful
alert and cordial attitude, individ
ually and collectively, will aid im
measurably in attaining general
acceptance for the school. Each of
you, .“itudents of C. C., will be par
ticipants in publicizing the school
to the extent that you take ad
vantage of every opportunity, or
make opportunities to tell other
people about the Charlotte College.
We request your cooperation.
