Torch Run
Bv Students
Continued From Page 1
But more than that, these
were Charlotte Co"e';e students
who had sacrificed the wee hours
of the morning to tell everyone
who mi^ht be o”t on the street
at 3 a.m. as well as those who
would read of the race in the
papers and hear and see of it
on radio and T.V. to “vote for
community colleges.”
The marathon had begun i n
Murphy and students from Ap
palachian State Teachers C o 1-
lege had handed the torch to CC
so"h Dwight Christenberry at
11:58 p.m. in Gastonia.
Twe"tv-five CC men each in
succession then carried the
torch 30 miles to Charlotte’s In-
denendence Square where it w.3s
handed to a student from Win
ston-Salem Teachers College to
be carried via Winston-Salem.
Students in Wi’mington hqd
begun the eastern part of the
state-wide marathon. Associ
ated Press writer Phil Corner
te-med the marathon runners
as “among the most active
supporters” of the bond issues.
The 25 Charlotte College men
—and the girls in toreadors, Con
nie Marley and Carol Holden
acting in their capacity as CC
cheerleaders — became so en
thusiastic that they all jumped
from the cars to run the last
two blocks to the square to
gether.
A few minutes later, W. L.
Yarbrough, Charlotte College
business manager, and Chris
Collins, editor of The Collegian
were shooting pictures of t h e
still energe'ic marathon crew
while Miss Mildred English, di
rector cf student activities,
looked on.
John Boling, sophomore,
said, “I’ve .irst run the three
minute mile.”
At 3:54 a.m. Gil Stamper o'
radio station WBT showed u p
with his tape recorder to get on
the spot comments. Charlie
Smith, Gary Stewart, C a p p
Smith, and Gene Horne all told
why they were on the square at
three in the morning and what
the bond issue would mean for
Charlotte College.
By 4:30 Bob Owens, who ha-*
been responsible for getting the
CC students to run, and others o'
the crew began to disperse to
“catch a few winks” before nine
o’clock classes.

'he presidents of state-support-
?d, including community, col-
■’2es would meet the following
Monday, Nov. 20, to decide what
hey will request from the state
government.
Mr. Atkins is not taking a
defeatist attitude because the
state bond did not pass. He
expressed his thinking on the
matter with, “our source of
'unds is not cut off—just de
layed.”
President Cone said, “We have
’ome through much rougher
roads.”
She also said that she gained
strength from the prayer offered
't the board meeting by Dr.
Beaty of Davidson College:
‘God, give us strength to change
'he things we can and the pa-
ience to accept the things we
cannot change. Help us to re-
nember that ‘all things work
together to the good for them
.hat love’ Thee.”

to other nations.
He also touched on the fact
that, unlike in more economi
cally advanced countries. India’s
problem is still to “meet the
basic needs” of her colossal pop
ulation.
There were sharo questions,
couched in respectful language,
about India’s ro’e as a “neu
tral” country. Mr. Nehru, an
eyperienced politician, pointed
out that the dictionary defines
“neutrality” as “non-belliger-
ence.” However, India’s s*and
could be defined as “non-align
ment” to either power bloc.
Any other word would be a
misnomer.
The audience composed of stu
dents from all over the United
States and foreign students gave
Mr. Nehru a rousing reception.
The house did him the honor of
three standing ovations and the
superb rendering of the Ameri
can traditional “Happy Birth
day.”
The representative and chosen
leader of 430 million citizens of
the Indian sub-continent was vis
ibly touched. He could not keep
his eyes from glistening.
