CLUBS FOR YOU By Gay Hinson Saving Money As A Hobby By Jack Moore Numismatology is a popular hobby with a history antedating the Roman Empire. This hobby usually begins in childhood from the col lecting of pennies for a bank or from the collecting of lucky coins or car tokens. If it is pursued dili gently, it can increase the collec tor’s knowledge of coins and bills as well as becoming a means of saving and investment. Investment in coins or bills which will return more than their face value must be studied in order for the collector to learn which coins are of higher value. The first step toward studying coins is to pur chase a standard currency refer ence text such as: History of Currency in the U. S. —Hepburn History of the U. S. Mint—Evans Catalog of the U. S. Mint Col lection History of American Coinage— Watson Fractional Money—Carothers Our Country’s Money—Majer Our American Money—Coffin Numismatic Scrapbook (Monthly Magazine). After study of some of the texts above, the next logical step in coin collecting is to join a club which fosters this hobby and which af fords association with other col lectors. The coin collecting societies of America list about 25,000 mem bers; this causes competition for the best coins and bills, or sets of coins and bills. This competition stimulates each member to seek new and better means of collecting coins. Some of the common methods by which one collects coins are: Col lecting old coins from friends and relatives, purchasing bags of coins from a bank and sorting through these coins for particular dates and mint marks, buying proof sets of coins from the U. S. Mint in Phila delphia, and trading or buying de sirable coins from other coin col lectors. Coin collectors generally agree that the best investments are in gold coins, proof coins, and uncir culated coins. Profit comes from the reselling of these excellent coins; however, the beginner must first take pride in possessing excellent coins and bills before profits can be realized from their resale. “A Word Of AcK ice ’ Said the University of Toronto’s President Sidney Smith to his stu dents: “If you choose to work, you will succeed; if you don’t, you will fail. If you neglect your work, you will dislike it; if you do it well, you w'ill enjoy it. If you join little cliques, you will be self-satisfied; if you make friends widely, you will be interesting. If you gossip, you will be slandered; if you mind your own business, you will be liked. If you act like a boor, you will be despised; if you act like a human being, you will be respected. If you spurn wisdom, wise people will spurn you; if you seek wisdom, they will seek you. If you adopt a pose of boredom, you will be a bore; if you show vitality, you will be alive. If you spend your free time playing bridge, you vrill be a good bridge player; if you spend it in reading, discussing and think ing of things that matter, you will be an educated person.” TIME Oct. 22, 1956 The Monument It was a monument to love, a force that is described by some in terms of bioelectrical forces and biochemical affinities. But it was erected neither by chemists nor electricians, but by the city of Char lotte as another step in the per petual warfare between moral so ciety and immoral man. It was made of wood about five feet high, almost a foot in di ameter, painted white as a symbol of its purity, and solidly embedded in the middle of the black asphalt drive that led through the park. Around the bottom were a few scars on it where apparently a few irate lovers had tried to push it out of their way. A hole in the middle of it, big enough to stick three fingers in, had instead of warm living fingers a cold rusty chain drawn through it so that no one could use the drive after the proper hour of nine. The city police had patrolled the park for almost two years when finally at one of the city council meetings one of the officials got up and said, “It’s preposterous that the city must support two po lice cars and four policemen to keep the lovers out of Liberty Park.” The little man dressed in gray who was sitting on our speaker’s right nodded his head twice as if to say yes, yes, while the man across the table rose quickly to his feet, paused a moment for dra matic effect, and said, “Suppose something happened to some young girl down there; her parents might sue the city.” “I’ve got an idea,” said the little man in gray, “if vfe block off the roadway they can’t get in.” “That’s it!” exploded the man across the table. “The modern young couple can not make love without a car.” “Wonderful,” said the first man, “we’ll drive them outside the city limits; then nothing can be blamed on us.” They arose shook hands and left with the smug satisfaction of a good day’s work showing on their faces. And so the monument to love was erected and still stands to this day, if someone hasn’t figured out a way to push it over yet. GO EAST, YOUNC, WOMAN Want to travel? Want to serve your country? Want to be with lots of men? . . . Um-m-m! MISS SHIRLEY BOLLINGER, Red Cross recruiter for the Clubmobile, spoke to the Charlotte College girls on how to accomplish all this. The Clubmobile consists of a two- ton truck; a driver; two women; and materials, anywhere from a banjo to a giant scrabble-board, for entertaining. The object of this Red Cross project is for entertain ing our men during overseas duty. The clubmobile worker plans and presents the activities. Training is completed in the States and is fol lowed by a year’s work in Korea. Where after that? . . . Who knows? . . . Some exotic place in Europe or the Far East. Salaries range from $260.00 to $340.00 depend ing on where the young woman is. On Saturday nights the girls are free to do as they wish, and most of them wish themselves right into the officers’ club. You gals can qualify when you’ve had four years of college and if you don’t mind sharing 200 G.I.’s with one other woman. (Let’s see, that’s 100 apiece—Sigh!) See ya’ in the Far East. The club life of any college makes college life far more enjoy able for the students. Charlotte College clubs are open for your membership and invite you to join the club or clubs of your choice. They are organized for you, the students, so take advantage of them. The first meeting of the Discus sion Club was held last Monday. “What Is The United States’ Role In The Middle East Crisis?” was discussed by a panel of five: Jack Moore, Bobbie Butler, Ralph Ten- nent, Tom Huskins, and Robert Mc- Cathern. Harold Kellams acted as moderator. Members of the faculty —Dr. Green, Mrs. McIntyre, and Mrs. Winningham—attended. The panelists stated their views and the ories, and everyone seemed in agreement that all action taken, should be through the United Na tions. The Discussion Club has won derful possibilities—the formation of a debating society and radio dis cussions. The Dramatics Club headed by Dick O’Brian and advised by Har old Parker urges anyone and every one interested in radio playwriting and production to join. We need your support; so if interested, con tact Dick O'Brian. Over twenty-five students have expressed their interest in the Spanish Club. Of course, the main interest of members of the Spanish Club is to speak Spanish and to study the Spanish way of life, but Spanish Club meetings are not held completely in Spanish. Students who have or are studying Spanish get to know each other at these meetings. They also have a chance to practice the Spanish language. The first meeting of the Spanish Club is being held at the home of PART THREE Dr. Clyde A. Erwin, State Super intendent of Public Instruction, said that the opening of a com munity college in Charlotte was “the culmination of a lot of dreams and visions and hopes.” The pro visional membership which Char lotte College held in the American Association of Junior Colleges from July, 1949 was made active in July of 1950. By May of 1950, Charlotte Col lege, from tuition fees alone, had not only met her operating ex penses but had also increased her assets. In the first two years on her own, Charlotte College in creased her library facilities at a cost of $3,000, her laboratory equipment at a cost of over $1,500, her office equipment at a cost of $750, and granted a twenty-five per cent increase in pay to instruc tors. It is the opinion of the North Car olina Community College Commit tee that: “Community colleges have developed only in localities where there has been a local interest that has caused the people to take the initiative in establishing and in sup porting them.” Local interest in Community colleges was proved by the people of Charlotte when the second major crisis in Charlotte Col lege’s history arose in May, 1954. On May 18, 1954, a special tax elec tion was held and passed by the electorate of the city of Charlotte. The passage of this election pro vided funds for the operation of the Charlotte Community College System of which Charlotte College Mrs. Frances B. Hoyle on Satur day, December 1st, 1956. Members of the Spanish Club are looking f 01-ward to a very pleasant evening. Members of the Spanish Club are very happy to have Mrs. Hoyle as their faculty advisor. C. C. has the beginnings of the best choral group in the city. Under the very able direction of Mr. Har vey Woodruff, the Chorus has been making excellent headway, but we still need more sopranos, altos, and tenors. Everybody can sing, and you do not have to be an Ezio Pinza or a Rise Stevens. The most recent meeting of the French Club w'as held the middle of this month. Officers were elected; Jane Ann Carmichael, president; Bob Griffin, vice-president; Charles Helms, secretary; David Wilson, ti-easurer; and Merwin Foard, so cial chairman. The club was en tertained by movies and a pianist, and the fabulous Dr. Macy led the group in singing. Sounds like fun; so all you French students take heed. These are just a few of the many C. C. clubs. There are also a num ber of club possibilities. Here’s one that should interest girls as well as the men. A Judo Club could train its members in such tactics that would make it very dangerous for anyone to insult a C. C. student. Certainly you girls could have used judo quite effec tively at one time or another. Say, men, there are at least 100 of you studying engineering at C. C. How’s about an Engineer’s Club? No kiddin’, it would help ya’! This is just the beginning. It is a project of the Collegian to pro mote C. C. club life. See ya’ at a meeting. is a part. The faculty, the students, and the friends of Charlotte Col lege worked very hard to make known the need for a community college in Charlotte. The members of the Charlotte Chamber of Com merce supported the college’s ap peal for needed funds. The CHAR LOTTE OBSERVER and the CHARLOTTE NEWS helped to create a good relationship between the college and the community by supporting the community college program. If the faculty, the stu dents, and the friends of Charlotte College had not worked so hard to make the needs of a community college known, Charlotte would not have a community college today. If Charlotte College had not had the support of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, the CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, and the CHARLOTTE NEWS, it is possible that a com munity college would not exist in Charlotte. But, the above organiza tions did make the needs known, and the people of Charlotte did have enough interest in the community college program to vote in favor of the special tax. Thus, the second crisis in the college’s history was overcome. The value of Charlotte College is pointed out by a state ment of one of her former students. This statement was made just a short while before the special tax election: “As far as I am concerned Charlotte College has meant an education for me; for without Charlotte College I would never have been able to begin college and would have never come this far in my education.” The History Of Charlotte College
