THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN
Page 4
1 Owl Victories In Review
I By Bill Starr I
Two deadeye forwards, Ronnie Greene and Jeff Edwards, paced
the Owl cagers to a pair of early season wins over Presbyterian Junior
College, 66-42 and 78-67
Greene established himself as an early contender for all-star honors
by pumping in 44 points in the two games as well as leading the Owls
in rebounding. Edwards tallied 32 points and played an outstanding
floor game.
In both games, Charlotte start
ed strong, wilted late in the first
half, and then stormed back to nail
down the win. In the second en
counter, center Doug Galvin buck
eted the first six points to person
ally set the Owls on the right road.
Rebound control on the part of
Galvin and Greene enabled CC to
pull away in the second period,
and build up the final 14 point
bulge.
The dual victories boosted
Charlotte College’s hopes for a
successful finish in the confer
ence race.
The principal ingredient lacking
seemed to be a good “big” man
who could consistently sweep the
backboards. The two games
showed, however, that CC has a
talented quintet which is capable
of giving the conference leaders
a run for the crown.

Owls’ Keynote Is
Hustle And Spirit
By Marshall Green
The Owls lost a hard-fought
battle to a tall Louisburg Junior
College team 75-61. The Louis
burg team’s domination of the
boards throughout the game was
the deciding factor.
The Owls, hustling all the way,
stayed with the taller Louisburg
team until the final few minutes.
Ronnie Greene was high man for
the Owls with 23 points. Mickey
Kirkley, flashy 6 foot 7 inch guard
followed with 15 points.
In their fifth game, the Owls
lost to a hot-shooting Edwards
Military Institute 76-59. The Owls
had a cold shooting night and poor
defense. Ronnie Greene and Jeff
Edwards led the Owls’ offensive
attack with 19 and 12 points re
spectively.
The Owls, coached by Gene
Todd, have shown considerable
hustle and high team spirit. They
are a much stronger team than
we had last year. The Owls lack
height and must depend on speed
and spirit. The team is sparked
l)y guards Bubba Rion and Sam
Dunlap. Ronnie Green holds
down the center spot with Jeff
Edwards and Mickey Beheler in
the forward spots.
Engineer Club
To Be Formed
Twenty-four students met
Wednesday night, November 30,
to consider forming an Engin
eer’s Club at Charlotte College.
Mr. Darholt explained that
the Charlotte Eng.neer’s Club
(an organization of professional
engineers) i s interested i n
forming a clut) at the college'
and would help any way iti
could. The Club would func
tion to supplement the theoret
ical knowledge that the student
gains in the classroom, by show
ing him how the application of
this knowledge gets the job
done. This “working side” of
engineering would be demon-^
strated by lectures, films, field
trips, etc.
The following officers were
elected: James Crenshaw, presi
dent; James Sexton, vice-
president and program com
mittee chairman. Max Steinek,
secretary; Richard Carriker,
treasurer; Keith Arrowood,
chairman of the Constitution
Committee.
The club president appointed
a committee to work with Keith
to draw up a Constitution.
Mr. Darholt was chosen Ad
visor to the Club.
Owls Fight
All The Way
By Bill Start
Powerful Wilminigton Junior
College, starting strong and never
slacking the pace, overwhelmed the
Charlotte College Owls 80-55 Sat
urday November 12 at the Pied
mont gym.
Utilizing their superior Height
and scoring balance, the Sea
Hawks dashed to an 11-0 lead be
fore the Owls could find the range.
Behind some excellent corner
shooting, they increased the lead
to an eighteen-point bulge at the
half, 33-15.
With two lanky forwards, Eu
gene Bogash and Ed Niastkowski
showing the way, Wilmington re
fused to let up in the second half,
despite some good shooting by
Owl forward Ronnie Greene, who
led the CC scorers by tallying 17
points for the evening.
» ♦ * »
CC’s glaring weakness, a lack of
height, was never more evident
as a strong Campbell Junior Col
lege quint rambled over the Owls
83-61 November 19 at the Piedmont
gym.
Utilizing a forward line that av
eraged 6 feet 6 inches, Campbell
completely dominated the back
boards, sometimes getting off
three or four shots to the Owl’s'
one.
Campbell’s first team left mid
way during the second half, and
the subs came on to build the
margin to 70-44 at one point late
in the game, before the Owls
staged a futile comeback try.
Outstanding forward Ronnie
Greene again paced the Charlotte
College scorers with 18, closely
followed by Jeff Edwards with 16.

Defending conference champion
Wilmington Junior College crank
ed up its potent basketball machine
and completely smothered Char
lotte College 99-48 at Wilmington
Saturday, November 26.
After a shaky start, the Sea
Hawks caught fire, and CC was
never able to put out the blaze.
Wilmington’s tall squad dominated
the game after CC’s upset effort
fell by the wayside after a 24-24
tie midway through the first
period.
Ken McIntyre collected 36 points
while Neil John got 30 to pace
Wilminigton. Again Ronnie Greene
was CC’s bright spot, picking up
22 points and increasing his average
to slightly over 20 per game.
Guard Sam Dunlap was the only
other Charlotte Player to score in
double-digits, getting 14. These
two players accounted for three-
fourths of the CC offense. The
loss was Owls* fifth in seven
games.
Shadow In The Hall
A black moonless night—the Shadow roams CC^s deserted halls. A
door creaks but doesn’t open, a footstep falls where there is no foot
and an eddy of wind moves off to nowhere.
“Better watch out.” It’s almost time for Santa and that Dear
Gent knows all. He doesn't have to wait for letters from CC stud
ents to get information. Maybe I should become his helper, huh?

HOLIDAYS; Winter winds are
beginning to show and with them
comes more vacation. Thanksgiv
ing holidays weren’t long enough.
Now all the students’ conversation
concern the Christmas holidays.
Parties and more parties.
While C. C. students are making
merry. I’ll be here pining for thein
return. I don’t hke holidays!
Couldn’t we have them shortened,
Miss Cone?
Now don’t hate me, students.
You don’t know how it feels to be
alone in a big ghosty school build
ing.
What I wouldn’t give to hear
one human voice. Even Mr.
Woodruff's “ La La La La La”
or Dr. Macy’* “Je and Vout” *a.
I glance in the gym door, think
ing maybe our basketball team will
be practicing. No, they’re saving
their energy for our ne.xt “home”
game on January 10th.
A few doors down, the Owl’s
Roost hollers its sad tale. With
out cigarette ashes and empty coke
and coffee cups all over the tables,
it is a lonely place.
I sit down at one of the tables
and strain my ears.
I hear Mr. Higgins order a cup
of water, and remark that cokes
may go up to ten cents . . . ■
Ann Settlemyre comes in to try to
get her pay check cashed. “We
can go out tonight,” an admirer
said. “But it’s not cashed,” is
her excuse. Her admirer offers
his assistance . • . “Don’t forget
the Christmas concert on the 9th.
of December .” . . .
ZOWIE! “If I had a tutor as
goodlooking as that one, I wouldn’t
mind studying.” . . Mr. Wheelock’s
searching eye gleams at the con
versations. Someone whispered that
that eye sees everything
“Actually, Margaret, all you have
to do—” “Shut up, Charles.” . . .
. . . “Bill, are you gcftina come
and help support our team?” . . .
“Who are these pretty nurses runn
ing around the school?” ....
“Told you I’d be a good cheer
leader.” . . . “Bon Jour” . . .
“Don’t give up the ship, man.” . . .
Mr. Wheelock and Mrs. Bailey
slide the counter windows shut,
“closing time”.
“Did I leave a pocket book,
here?” a late arriver ask». She
recovers her purse, and walks out
talking to herself. “Maybe this
is also where I left my mind.”
WHY? : Why wouldn’t Martha
sing a solo for the Christmas
concert? . . . Why won’t the hit-
and-run-driver who knocked the
bumper in on the black and white
Oldsmobile confess? .... Why
weren’t notices sent to working
students’ employers asking that
CC students be allowed to attend
the ground-breaking ceremonies?
Why aren’t absentee ballots
given for class elections?
SOMETHING OLD: C. C. stu
dents correctly reflected Mecklen
burg opinion in their presidential
straw vote. . . Hear our old collega
union will come down sooner than
expected. P. S. We’re getting a
new one.
Where are the student advisors?
I hope everyone enjoyed his
Thanksgiving turkey .... Does
your love for red cars mean some
one special, Helen? . . . Watch it,
Howard! .... What’s his name,
Diane? . . .
Come on, all of you talented stu
dents, the band needs you I They’
ve had some good practice sessions^
C. C. U. N. certainly has some
good speakers .... How about
our red-head, Ruth Johnston . . .
Why wasn’t CC represented by a
princess in the Christmas parade?
Maybe next year, huh? .... Are
you sure, Kay? .... Those for
eign cars at C.C. sure get around. .
Carl is about the happiest fellow
I’ve seen lately . . . What are; you
always readinig.,Don . ... I do
believe that Carriker guy is afraid
of girls .... Charles Deal could
make a million dollars in the studio
of live TV shows. His laugh is
real, hearty and catching.
Don Carter says everyone should
lock his glove compartment and
his car doors, too. He learned
the hard way.
Pretty blond you were with the
other night, Ed ... . Did you give
up, Jerry? ... .If Russell slowed
down, no telling what would hap
pen .... Charles likes good music
. . . Judy just can not understand
her teacher’s instructions ....
Could Conley, James, Jewell,
Laura, Linda, and Richard Harris
all belong to the same family ?No,
guess not. Sounds like a good
team though! . . . Say you don’t
have a piano, Susan? . . . Mary
has found Kilroy. . . . Has Jean
found her courage yet? . . . Do
you mean that you never break
the law, Linda? . . . Onita keeps
hiding from me ....
You just love to dance, don’t
you. Max? .... Calling all fans.
I’ve found a movie star at C. C.
Robert Taylor (Scott) ....
Flames do grow brighter, don’t
they, Virginia? . . . She’s spoken
for. Bill .... “Oh, it’s Bobby I”
the girls cry. Better watch that
popularity. Boy.
Something has to be done about
the Collegian’s budget, Mr. Chap
pell. How many more newspapers
can we plan on this year? ....
A suggestion has been made to
have a “swap” column in the
Collegian. You know—swap your
services for books, a ride, etc. A
certain Jim thinks there is money
to be made,
BEST EVER; That’s what Gary
Idol thinks of the 1960-61 Si Si.
We’ll save this “best” as a sur
prise! Just a little unorganized,
maybe. But believe me, it is
new and very different this year.
I’ll agree with Gary - it’s some
thing we will be proud to say we
published. i
