President Bonnie E. Cone ha'
watched Charlotte College grow
from the ground up. Recently
she saw the campus from a
different angle — from an air
plane circling above the campus
“It was truly a thrilling ex
perience,” she remarked after
‘he flight, which took place
Sept. 28.
Governor Terry Sanford had
invited Miss Cone to Raleigh for
1 luncheon to discuss the up
coming bond election to be held
in November 7. While in Raleigh,
Miss Cone met with State Rep.
rwin R. Belk. Rep. Belk of
fered the prominent educator a
ide back to Charlotte in his
orivate airplane.
When the party reached the
vicinity of the college. Rep.
3elk had the pilot circle the site
several times to enable Miss
Cone to get an aerial view of the
campus.
This was the first time the
president of the community col-
ege had the opportunity to see
the college from the air, al-
hough she had made numerous
flights to and from Charlotte,
n was also her first flight in a
privately owned airplane.
“I was really given an ‘arm
chair tour’ of the campus,” said
Miss Cone.
Charlotte College’s student
council has brought forth the
^ea for the first student di
rectory.
At the second meeting of the
ummer, Chris Collins suggested
that a student directory be typed
ind given to the students. The
council unanimously agreed.
After discussion, Robert
Owens was named chairman of
a student directory commit
tee. Members of the voluntary
committee are Florence Mor
row, Bobby Crump, Francis
Cline, Murry De Young, and
Clinton Canaday.
The directory will consist of
an alphabetical list of all stu
dents now enrolled in Charlotte
College. Along with me names
otII be addresses and phone
numbers. If all goes as planned,
he directory should be com
pleted and ready for distribution
jy the latter part of October.
The Executive Council of CC’s
student government seem to
have one big thing in common:
;hey are all CC students and
council officers—and, of course,
all human. They are enrolled in
different curriculums and en
grossed in different hobbies.
They spent their vacations in
different ways, but still they
-nanaged somehow to attend the
summer meetings of the student
council —most of the time.
Some of you, no doubt, rec
ognize Bill Ferguson, student
government president, from
seeing him in the productions
at the Charlotte Music
Theatre. Bill also spent part
of his summer at UNC. He is
an art major and hopes to get
his master’s degree at UNC.
Johnny Sayers, student council
vice-president, is a psychology
major. Johnny spent his summer
as a machine operator. He de
votes much time to school activ
ities. Last year he served as
vice-president of the freshman
class.
Jeannie Glasgow, student coun
cil secretary, is an English ma
jor. She plans to attend the Uni
versity of Illinois next year and
go into advertising research.
Jeannie also is a member of The
Collegian staff.
Francis Cline, student coun
cil treasurer, spent his s u m-
mer unpacking equipment and
assembling furniture for the
new campus. His hobbies are
rockets and football. Francis is
majoring in engineering and
hopes to work with Douglas
Aircraft.
Reggie York and Rodney Love
spent part of their summer va
cation working as chairmen of
the Freshman Advisory Commit-
ee. Rodney also found time to
vacation at the beach and attend
summer school. He is sophomore
class president.
Reggie York is a phys ed ma
jor. He is editor of the CC year-
Dook and the SI SI.

School Spirit Has Many
Delicate^ Elusive Faces
We talk a lot about “spirit.”
Without spirit, life would be meaningless — if
there were such things as life and spirit as two sep
arate entities.
Since life and spirit cannot exist as separate en
tities if life is to be meaningful to us, schools and
school spirits have a knack of coming in pairs.
School spirits may be boisterous, gay, eventful,
fruitful — or they may be inspired, dull, Ustless, and
unproductive.
The amazing thing about the spirit of a school is
that she does not confine herself to school buildings.
She comes and goes with the people of the school.
Alone on campus you may feel school spirit with you;
but when the campus is filled to capacity, you should
feel school spirit bubbling over.
It may be hard to understand why a school’s
spirit can be exuberant when the buildings are tired
from use and when the team has struck out. But then
she probably knows that there will be other tomorrows
and that opportunity knocks on each day’s door.
School spirit may be abused and perhaps become
tired, but she is never so low that she cannot become
aroused by the voice of one student or excited by one
idea.
In fact, school spirit thrives upon new ideas. She
moves to the voice of her students. She prides herself
on her discoveries and praises all who discover her.
She may be pushed down, but she cannot be
abandoned. She will not be deserted. She follows her
students into new buildings. She tails along to every
school function. She yells loudest when her team scores
a point and “screws her courage to the sticking place”
when her team does not win.
School spirit will never admit defeat. She has
faith in all who claim her. She has been known to
build small schools into great universities. Her creed
is the word “Hope.” She answers to the sound of “We
will.”

HOOTS AND TOOTS
CC Young? Just Lookie Here
By GENE HORNE
We spent a very enjoyable lunch
hour the other day thumbing through
old copies of The Collegian in the library.
Charlotte College is known as a young
school. Maybe they had begun driving
automobiles already, but the men in
those first editions wore double-breasted
suits with wide lapels and full breast ties.
It seems so long ago. Most of us were
still counting our age on one hand and
looking forward to the first grade.
In a 1950 edition, the headline said,
in bold type, “Charlotte College Gradu
ates First Class,” and ran a front page
picture of all 17. Somewhere between one
and seventeen we noticed the image of
a former “Owl” who has done quite well
for himself. “James Bethea Kilgo,” the
caption said.
He looked very much like a young
Jimmy Kilgo (WSOC).
Observations
We noticed a novelty joke on the
board in the German classroom the other
day. Some mispliced comedian printed:
aS'l'IAflt ml hJ3H
l/lvonaaHt aniHsS
0/^AOS
(and it was brown).
We heard the choir practicing the
Alma Mater Friday afternoon. The choir
sounded good ... so did our Alma Mater
(yes, of course, we have one . . . some
freshmen have asked).
It’s Possible . . .
Wouldn’t it be ironic if a wise old
owl (our mascot, you know) made his
home in the old deserted barn on our
campus? We thought so.
And since wise old owls occasionally
do make their homes in old deserted
barns, we investigated. We found a nest
of pigeons in the loft. There’s a story
there somewhere but we haven’t yet de
cided where it is.
‘New’ Literature
We just became acquainted with the
works of a very talented author. He has
some interesting ideas . . . that may catch
on. We recommend him highly. His name
is Plato.
We heard the Governor speak Sun
day, and we almost “busted a button”
with pride. Out of the crowd of parents,
students, and other interested people,
we heard about one six-year-old who was
dubious about the whole affair. In the
middle of the Governor’s speech he tug
ged at his father’s coat and said, for all
to hear, “Daddy, is he REALLY going
to charge three per-cent school tax on
tuition like you said?”
Lost And Found Dept.:
The student who lost his high school
insignia behind the science building had
better hurry back there and look for it.
Our editor found it last week.
