Paqe 2 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN January 28, 1955 CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN Published monthly throughout the school year by the students of CHARLOTTF: college, charlotte, North Carolina. Staff Editor John Kilgo Assistant Editor Patsy Hartsell Business Manager Kanela Maydanis Faculty Advisor M'ss Mary Denny SCHOOL SPIRIT? When the basketball season first started this article promised you an exciting, hustling ball club. Well we have no reason whatso ever to withdraw this statement. When this article went to press the Charlotte College basketball team had won no games and had lost nine. Pretty lousy luck? Well I guarantee you that this record is not as bad as it sounds. And I’ll assure you that this record is not as bad as the support the students have given the team. Coach Buddy Smith has worked long and hard with a group of in experienced boys. He has brought his team around rapidly and the tournament is yet to be played. The spirit on the team is as good as any I’ve ever witnessed on any basketball team. Many of the students give the excuse that time is the element that prohibits them from attend ing the ball games. Well a couple of weeks ago the Owls played host to Oak Ridge on a Saturday Night. I doubt seriously that any of you students stayed home on that Sat urday night to study. I also feel safe in saying that the C. C. vs. Oak Ridge game was better and more entertaining than any movie in town. The game went down to the very last seconds before the Owls bowed to a team who had won nine straight games. The score, 71-70. Close, you bet. One more basket and the team would have had a terrific win. As it was it was Charlotte College’s ninth straight loss and they still aren’t worth a hoot. This article is going to press the day before the Owls play host to Campbell Junior College. Campbell has beaten everyone in their path this year. They won the Champion ship last year and won two games before they were eliminated in the National finals. This means that Campbell was ranked about num ber six in the Nation last year. Yet, if you were to ask any mem ber of the C. C. basketball team what he thought about the game, you would get an answer like this, “They are good and they’re big, but we’re up and we’re going to knock those big boys off.” You can bet your boots that the player who said that would mean every word of it. I think I’ve got a pretty good suggestion. There are a lot of boys around this school that have a ten dency to joke about this ball club. These guys bet against the Owls and want to know' when they are going to play Country Day School. I would like to ask these guys to come out and teach us a little bit about basketball. I doubt if any of these wise guys could come out and play much ball. There has been much talk about Charlotte College winning the re gional tournament, thus qualifying themselves for the National tour nament in Kansas. Not too prob able, but certainly possible. It sure would be nice to see the expression on some of these boy’s faces if the Owls should happen to advance to the National tournament. WELCOME! Many new students have come to Charlotte College for the Win ter quarter, and to these students we, the student body, would like to extend to you a very warm wel come. Here at Charlotte College the students and faculty are just one big happy family, and we hope you will join us in our activities to make us a happier group. Because of our late school hours we are limited in our outside ac tivities, but maybe you are inter ested in one of cur clubs and if so we would like to invite you to join the club of your choice and help to make it successful. Again let us say WELCOME and we hope you will like Charlotte College as much as we do. FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman class has started the Winter quarter off with a bang by starting plans for the Spring Dance. Jerry Crocker was appoint ed dance chairman. Jerry has al ready got big plans, but they will be kept under lock and key until Spring. Jerry did tell us that the dance would be given for the soph omores by the freshmen, and it will be held sometime in May. Jer ry will be glad to get all the help he can; so all you freshmen that are interested just see Jerry any time and he will be glad to put you to work. RECORD ROUND-UP January, 1955 and we hope all of you have a happy new year! To make your new year a happy one, the musical industry keeps putting out top notch recordings. The “Pen guins” are the latest race group to hit the top with their terrific recording of “Earth Angel.” On the smooth side of the fence the McGuire sisters get our vote with their sensational recording of “Sincerely.” “Let Me Go Lover” lived through the Christmas rush and is still going very strong. One of the greatest recordings that has been released in some time was waxed by Decca records when they went to Germany and picked up a German artist and orchestra to record “Malaguena.” Jaye P. Morgan seems to have hit the jackpot with her R.C.A. Victor recording of “That’s All I Want From You.” This is surely one ter rific recording and probably Vic tor’s finest since “You, You, You.” The Four Aces continue to make history with their beautiful inter pretation of “Melody of Love.” Sammy Davis Jr. does a stimulat ing job on “Birth of the Blues.” Probably the most talked about recording in Charlotte today is “Open Up Your Heart” by the Cow'boy Church Sunday School Choir. It seems as if some of the local Disc-Jockeys have been giv ing this platter a spin on a slower speed than it is actually supposed to be played. The big question is who is singing the song? Some say an older lady, but we still think it is the four year old child. If it is, you can rest assured Decca has a prize package in this young art ist. That’s just about all the space we have for this issue so we’ll fin ish things up with this remark. Sit tight and wait to hear Kay Starr’s first Victor recording. It will be out before long and believe me it makes the grade. So long! SERVICE ACCEPTING CANDIDATES The Navy recently announced openings for nine candidates per month from Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina and North Carolina for Navy and Marine Corps flight training, leading to designations as pilots and commissions as Ensign in the Navy or Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. In order to qualify for flight training a candidate must be be tween 18 and 25 years old; un married; have completed, or be able to complete within four months, 60 semester or 90 quarter hours aca demic work at an accredited college or university; and be physically qualified. Flight training begins at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla., the “Annapolis of the Air,” and advanced training is taken at the Naval Air Station, Corpus Christi, Texas. Upon completion of flight train ing, Naval Aviation Cadets are commissioned in the Navy or Marine Corps, according to their choice, and serve thirty months active duty. The Navy’s flight training pro gram offers a great number of choices for assignment, and amount of time spent on active duty. A limited number of commissions in the Regular Naval establishment are available for pilots who apply and are accepted. This selection is voluntary and based on the indivi dual’s record in the Navy. The present pay for Naval Avia tion Cadets is $109.00 per month plus uniforms, lodging, meals, medical and dental care, and $10,- 000.00 insurance. After commis sioning, an Ensign or Second Lieu tenant is paid $370.18 as a bache lor, or $455.68 per month if mar ried. There is no better flight train ing available. In addition, you not only discharge Selective Service requirements, but also fulfill an obligation to aid in maintenance of peace, security and a way of life for which all are responsible. Inquiries concerning the Naval Aviation Flight Training program should be addressed to: NAV- CADS, NAVAL AIR STATION, ATLANTA, GA., TELEPHONE: CHAMBLEE 7-4351. Making inquiries or taking quali fication tests does not obligate an individual. Candidates are enlisted fcr pilot training only which is voluntary in all respects. A SPANISH CLUB? Ser c- no ser (to be or not to be)! That is the big question con cerning the Spanish Club here at Charlotte College. The spark has been struck and now we only need the willingness of you Spanish- struck students to kindle the fire. There’s lots of fun to be had in a club of this sort; so jump on the band wagon, temporarily pulled by Ralph Abercrombre and pushed by the flower of the Spanish world, Mrs. Hoyle, and let’s have some fun. No kidding, Amigos, let’s all pitch in and start ourselves a club and make it one that we can be proud of. —Pedro Overheard in the girl’s locker room last week—“Of course I wouldn’t say anything about her unless it was good, and Oh, Boy, is this good!!
