Go Get ’Em Spirit Stuck
With CC’s Team Of Eight
Where did it go? We mean the gusty go get ’em spirit
that seamed to be shaping up the basketball team at the
beginning of the year. When we stop to answer this
question, we sea that the go get ’em spirit bored mighty
deep within about eight fellows who gave CC a basketball
team this season. We recall that about 20 men came out
for several of the first practices.
But before the picture is completely distorted, let
each one of us who is a student at Charlotte College step
back and look at himself. In self-examination (and you
can’t really lie to yourself), CC students find individual
parts which compose another big segment of our answer.
To evaluate your amount of interest in your college’s
team, we offer these questions as pointers:
1. How many players can you name?
2. How many times have you congratulated any play
er for a good performance?
3. Did you ever check the game schedules given in
the Collegian or posted on tha lounge walls?
4. How many games could you have attended?
5. How many games did you attend?
We realize that many CC students have either full
time day jobs and attend classes at night or night jobs
and attend classes in daytime. Wa also realize that players
Bubba Rion, Marshall Greene, Ronnie Greene, and Ken
Bailey had jobs throughout the season as well as studies
and practices. Rion also has a wife and two children.
We do have reasons, therefore, for believing that the
go get ’em spirit stuck rather deeply with some fellows.
And we also have good reasons for congratulating
eight man.
CC did get beat by about 40 points by the Furman
frosh when they played January 21 in the Piedmont
School gym. But they gave the Furman boys a close fight
when they played in February at F’urman and reduced
the marginal difference by three-fourths.
We wonder whether playing a game at Furman instead
of in a nearly empty gym at home produced a better effect
on the morale of CC’s men.
We know that in answering the question of “where
team spirit?” we find certain unfavorable conditions that
were nacessary to accept.
The nature of Charlotte College has been such that
wa cannot land stress to athletics. A young college struggl
ing to establish academic prestige has no resources for
what is termed an athletic program. Science and language
buildings must be built before gymnasiums.
But buildings are not criteria for school spirit. And
what we may lack now we can never gain by giving up (or
is it navar getting in the first place?) that go get ’em
spirit. That’s the spirit that will win games and confer
ence titles for schools of all ages and sizes. That’s the
spirit that has kept eight men and their coaches from
taking a defeatist attitude even though they won only
two basketball games and with those two wins did not
come home amid cheers and salutes.

‘Klcssed Are The Peacemakers’
Someone remarked the other day that the students
at Charlotte College have another reason to be proud of
college president Dr. Bonnie Cone.
The remark was made because Dr. Cone had received
the annual brotherhood award from the local chapter of
the National Conference of Christians and Jews for her
outstanding contributions to brotherhood.
We of the Collagian staff extend our congratulations
to Dr. Cone, and with her we extend our gratitude to the
local NCCJ. But we cannot share with our president her
feeling that she did not deserve the honor.
But we could expect no other feeling on the part of
Dr. Cone. She does not work for medals; her reward is
bringing about better human relations.
For that reason we can feel no prouder of our Dr.
Cone than we have always felt. And we know nothing to
•ay except “Thank you, Miss Cone!”
‘Assembly’
Meeting
Was Lively
By GEORGE THOMAS
Ten Charlotte College students
represented the CC chapter of
Collegiate Council United Na
tions at the Model General As
sembly at State College in
February.
The Charlotte College students
represented Jordan and Cuba.
They were among 200 student
delegates and faculty advisors
who attended.
The Assembly gave to the
politically-minded students op
portunity to submit resolutions,
fight bitterly about thsm, and
pass them or reject them.
The Cuban delegation, led
by Bob Andrews, sophomore,
provided color to the proceed
ings by their numerous walk
outs and angry anti - Yankee
outbursts.
The Cuban delegation ap
peared in khaki battle dress and
combat boots instead of the usual
coats and ties.
Despite the diversions that
were present, the hard reality
of the world was not lost upon
the students attending. U. N.
moderator Frank P. Graham re
minded the Assembly that the
world organization is “a moral
imperative in the atomic age.”
CC Traffic Committee
Issues 77 Citations
s
For Parking Of fense
Seventy-seven students and faculty members have been
ticketed for parking violations on campus since a crackdown
began four months ago.
Of those 77, only 17 persons
have paid their $1 fines. Four
teen others appealed the tickets
as unwarranted, and the remain
ing 46 have yet to pay their
fines or appeal.
William H. Yarbrough, Char
lotte Collese business adminis
trator, said the Student Council
Traffic Committee has turned
in the 77 tickets since the com
mittee was organized in Novem
ber.
All appeals must be heard
by the Board of Appeals, ap
pointed by the Student Council
in December to review tickets
which auto owners consider un
warranted.
The board has met only once
— Feb. 27 — since it was
formed. At that time it accepted
all 14 appeals.
Why didn’t the board meet
earUer? It was to have met be
fore the end of the first semes
ter to act on appeals before the
ticket holders could receive first-
semester grades.
“It was just a general mix-
up,” replied Clinton Canaday,
chairman of the Traffic Commit
tee. “Nobody knew who was
supposed to call a meeting. And
everybody was tied up with
exams and registration.”
Canaday was asked whether
the restrictions have improved
the parking problem.
“The students have re
sponded very well,” he said.
“People have stopped parking
along the drive, and the
faculty areas have remained
clear for the faculty — in
most cases.”
Fines are collected by Mr. Yar-
brcmgh, who has taken a per
sonal interest in the committee’s
work.
"The forty-six persons who
have not paid their fines or ap
pealed should be reminded that
they will have to pay them
eventually,” Yarbrough said.
“It isn’t fair to the ones who
have paid their fines for some to
get by without paying.”
“But the real teeth of the com
mittee will bite down when those
persons do not receive their sec
ond - semester grades,” said
Board of Appeals member Carl
Sox.

T: Calls CC His Home
JOHN BOLING reports that Brenda
and Skody Rat gained thair freedom, but
H. T. Cloud has found a permanent home
. . . and is happy. They are his pet mice.
Yes, his mice. On January 20, John,
Curtis Cloud, Larry Reynolds, et al., found
baby H. T. in one corner of the chemistry
lab.
They bathed him and weighed him
in and gently placed him in his tempo
rary home, a glass beaker.
They recorded his weight on a prog
ress sheet: H. T. Cloud, January 20, 1962,
7.65 grams.
The boys gave H. T. the rat-royalty
treatment, and he responded very wall.
John was certain that H. T. had broth
ers and sisters.
He made a trap of a glass beaker and
a piece of cardboard, using a piece of
bread for bait, and—surely enough—they
caught more of H.T.’s family.
Skody Rat and Brenda moved in.
Brenda was the one with the broken tail.
But Brenda and Skody didn’t like
confinement, so they broke the bounds of
domestication and went their way.
H. T. escaped once . . . Chemistry
professor “Pop” Norman went in to feed
him after the four-day semester break.
H. T. had been ignored too long. He
was hungry. He felt unloved. He zipped
past Pop’s hand and skittered across the
floor.
In spite of Pop’s efforts to catch him,
H. T. disappeared.
H. T.’s official guardian, Curtis Cloud,
said, “Darn kids! Don’t appreciate a good
thing when they have it.”
But H. T. came back. The next day
the boys found him calmly nibbling on
some crumbs near their trap.
He was bathed, weighed in, and put
in his new mouse-house, which resembles
very much a waste basket.
His progress report was begun anew.
We asked John what H. T. eats:
“He’s particularly fond of date-filled
oatmeal cookies,” said John. “He also eats
graham crackers, potato chips, ham sand
wiches—as a matter of fact—he’ll eat any
thing.”
“Except cheese,” interjected Larry
Reynolds.
“That’s right,” said John. “He hates
cheese. Won’t touch it.”
John reported that H. T. was weighed
in on February 27 at 16.16 grams, more
than double his weight on January 20.

TIMOTHY was almost a new member
of H. T.’s family.
As soon as he was captured, one of
the boys, John Duckworth, took little Tim
othy over to the lounge during the crowd
ed lunch break “to show him off.” He
showed little Timothy to Barbara Blythe,
who had a Coke in her hand.
That was a warm gesture, we’U admit.
But the gesture Barbara made with
the Coke was a bit more cold (and wet)
than warm.

REGGIE YORK was there, and he got
the picture at a recent Shoney’s gathering
of the SiSi staff after a meeting.
“I’m starvin’,” Rodney Love had said,
and calmly ordered four double-decker
Big Boy sandwiches and an over-sized
chocolate shake.
“Well, I’m a growin’ boy,” he ex
plained.
Mary Fisher thought he was out of
his mind. He’d always ordered strawberry
shakes.
Editor York, by the way, announces
that the annual has “gone to press.”
And then he takes a deep breath of
finality.

WE WERE sitting in the student
lounge recently, just listening.
We saw a young Casanova trying to
impress one of our pretty coeds with his
adventures at UNC last semester.
When he had finished his narrative
of the wild night life at Chapel Hill,
the sophisticated co-ed coolly said, “So
you’re from Chapel College,” and sashayed
out.
Casanova almost swallowed his teeth.
And we grit ours, and close ...
