Six Students Attend
Model U. N. Meeting
Six Charlotte Colleg-e students
attended a model meeting of the
United Nations, held in Raleigh,
! on October 18, 19, and 20. Twenty-
' four North Carolina colleges sent
delegates. Each school represented
at least one country. Charlotte
College represented Mexico and
Canada, the former by Ann Mc-
Rorie, Ted Rippi, and Guilford
Furr, and the latter by Loretta
Young, Reggie Adams, and Ernie
Prevatte.
After arriving late Thursday
evening, the six met with the rest
of the delegates in the House
' Chamber of the State Capitol
Building.
Committee meetings were held
Friday, with a banquet that night.
A speaker from the U.N. gave the
address.
The General Assembly was held
Saturday morning. At that time
committees were appointed to plan
future meetings. Mrs. Winningham
was chosen to head the faculty
group. The assembly w’as ad
journed at noon.
It is interesting to note that
Russia walked out of the model
meeting when rebuked over her in
terference in Hungry just as she
did in New York. The countries
were also unable to come to any
agreement over disarmament.
Lodging and breakfasts were
provided the delegates by Raleigh
families. Transportation to and
from the meeting was provided for
by the student council.

C. C. Enrollment
Hits Record High
Final tabulation shows that
Charlotte College has enrolled a
total of 492 students for the P’all
term of 1957.
Compared to last year’s enroll
ment, this is an increase of l.'il
students, which shows that the
college is growing steadily and is
serving the needs of more and
more local people by giving them
an opportunity to further their ed
ucation while holding a regular
job..
This year, for the first time,
day classes have been offered.
A total of 72 students have en
rolled, setting a new precedent
for the years to come when we
are in our new buildings and on
our own campus.
Without the constant efforts and
devotion of Miss Cone and her
staff, Charlotte College would still
be in its infancy, instead of its
present position, one of growth and
service. We should all be proud of
the progress that this college has
i made in the past decade
by (ieorge Killough
At its scheduled meeting Mon

local stations. He also stated
that he was open to suggestions
regarding the Council’s wishes
for the program.
Broadcast time was subsequent
ly secured through station WBT,
and the date set for the first pro

featured an interview with Miss
Bonnie Cone, who commented on
the history, the purpose, and the
possible future of Charlotte Col
lege. On the air, Clifford said that
the purpose of “Echoes” is to pro
vide one of the communicative out
lets between Charlotte College and
the community. He further stated
that one of the aims of the show
was to provide high-calibre enter
tainment by using the best of stu
dent talent, worthwhile drama,
music by the Charlotte College
Chorus, and interviews with inter
esting people. The broadcast was
terminated with a resume of school
news. The news items were sup-

The Charlotte College Frater
nity, Sij»:ma Lambda Chi, has initi
ated seven pledges—worms — this
quarter. The pledjjes were seen
durinj; initiation week wearing”
everything from dresses to cow
boy outfits and doing everything
from pushing peanuts with their
noses to taking a running dive to
the ground whenever any of the
brothers shouted, “Air raid!’' And
having been initiated in good faith,
the new members, Larry Aber
nathy, Jack Helms, John Helms,
Dickie Pridgen, A1 Palmer, Ed
Scott, and H. V. Stokes, will no
doubt take it upon themselves to
continue the fine standards by
which they themselves were initi

interest has been expressed in the
Radio-TV Workshop by students
at C’harlotte (’ollege. He promised
that every effort would be made
to include as many people as pos
sible in the activities of the work
shop.
“If is necessary, however, to
consider," he continued, “that
because of’ the overwhelming in
terest in this project, we may not
be able t» make full use of
everyone's capabilities. We are
very sorry that this may be the
case, for it is our desire to in
clude every person who is cap
able and has expressed interest.”
He further pointed out that
there is always a need for voices
of radio quality, for this one factor
greatly influences the quality of
the entire production. He stated
that he would help train voices that
have radio potentiaL “It is not that
these people do not have pleasant
voices and good articulation,” he
said; “the technical aspects of
radio make it necessary to conform
to a certain manner of speaking
and pronouncing.”
Clifford is program director
for the show. Other staff mem
bers are the following: Reggie
Adams, sound engineer; Charles
(’heney, announcer; and Ernie

‘57 Student
Council Gives
Gift To College
Assembly speakers at Charlotte
College can be heard more easily
now because of a new Masco pub
lic address system, a gift of last
year’s student council. The council,
which set aside $150 for the pro
ject, presented it to the school
during the summer.
Miss Bonnie Cone, school di
rector, said she was highly pleased
with the gift. “Charlotte College
has needed one for a long time.
We used it in our first assembly
this quarter and it made our pro
gram much more effective,” she
said.
Bill Wagner, a sophomore at
C.C., made the purchase of a 40-
watt amplifier and other equip
ment from the Charlotte Whole
sale Distributing Company.
