PACE 2 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEQAN NOVEMBER, 1962 Qlharl0tt?

ETHEL PHIPPS SUSAN PROCTOR Faculty Advisor SIDNEY T. STOVALL College Lobby Or Zoo? The decision to move the furniture from the lobby outside the office in L Building was, in our opinion, a wise one. The present gallery which made its headquarters in that area was beginning to make Charlotte College look like an outsized kindergarten and sound worse. That location was beginning to be unsafe for the school’s mainten ance crew as well as for any girl that might walk by the group. In addition to the weird looks thrown her way, a girl was subjected to aU sorts of rude noises and comments. The situation was so bad that classes, were being disturbed by the commotion. Finally, the office had two choices: either move the classes, or niove the group by moving the ftirniture. Even ;4he most simple-minded^ people; can ‘ usually take a broad hint; however, this group apparently has need of a falling tree. Immedi ately after the movement of the chairs they be gan protesting the only logical thing the office could have done short of expelling the students. It was obvious to aU present as the group pro tested that they were not missing the chairs (which had merely been moved to another en trance), but the choice location in the lobby through which everyone must pass to enter the office, the Kennedy Building and the Lounge. No where else could they receive the attention which they merited. It is our opinion that if these peo ple really want a.ttention, they should be in a zoo —not at Charlotte College. Jaycees Overheard . . . “What’s your c^inion of the college atmosphere?” “Well. I visited the canpus a few weeks ago, and you just couldn’t believe what I saw . . . “I started walking over toward their new library construction, but before I was two feet away from the first building, some young man approached me with an CHiion around his neck and threw a wet fish at me. Maybe it was hell week, but it really made a lasting impression on me! When students go beyond them selves to play these practical jokes, then it’s too far. “After that experience I stopped by their temporary library, and you could have mistaken it for the new student union. Apparent ly it made no difference that there was a sign which was most apparent on the front door—students were talking, eating snacks, and making general disturbance.” '■“How about the school spirit?” “Well, I understand they’re supposed to have a fairly good basketball team this year. I called the local newspaper to get their point of view, and their cmly comment was, ‘I haven’t gotten any schedules of games or any reports about the coach or team.” (Continued From Page One) Union. These are the counties within a fifty mile radius of Charlotte College, and from which Charlotte College draws stu dents. Mecklenburg, understand ably, has the largest represen tation, with Cabarrus having the second largest. This entire dis trict is known as the Southern Piedmont. Attending the meeting were Senator Irwin Belk, Represen tative Vogler. Mayor Brooksire, and Dr. Garrlnger. Speeches were made by Charlotte Jaycees Thomas C. Creasy, who spoke on “The Education Crisis in the Piedmont”; Frank E. Gossett, who spoke on an “Answer to a Great Need”: anJ Allen Tate, whose subject was “The Miss ing Ingredient.” The Education Committee of the Charlotte Jaycees, headed by Mr. Parks Helms, has taken the promotion of Charlotte Col lege as its project. Mr. Helms traveled through the eleven coun ties and personally invited each representative to the recent meeting at Charlotte College. The Speakers Bureau of the Char lotte Jaycees has volunteered to go to any club or organization in the eleven county area and speak to them concerning Char lotte College. The first aim of the Bureau is to inform the people of Charlotte College, then to promote it. The'Jaycees pointed put; that there is a great lack of educa tion here in the Piedmont. “No other place in America with like population and resources has such a shortage of college faci lities.” said Allen Tate. “It is of utmost Importance to provide training in science, engineering, business management, teaching, and other fields.” The Jaycees also asked the visitors to sup port the college’s bid to become a fourth campus of the Consoli dated University of North Car olina. After the meeting, all of the visitors were taken on a tour of the college by Dr. Cone and by Mrs. Potter, who was in charge and whose planning was largely responsible for the visit, and other faculty members. They were fascinated by the facilities, especially the language labora tory. The Jaycees feel that by sup porting Charlotte College and the proposed four-year status they can help fulfill the need for more and better educational faci lities in the Piedmont. As the Charlotte Observer put it. “Jay cees . . . received the gospel of Charlotte College and were urged to go home and spread the good news abroad.” Pride Makes School Spirit It’s basketball season again! This year the newly named “49’ers” will sport new uniforms. They will be under a new coach and will have Garinger gymn for fiome games. But will they have any rooters? lv(any students seem to feel: “Oh, we’re just a junior college. Who wants to go see them play?” C.C. is a junior college (soon to become a four-year college), and we are big enough to pro duce a superior brand of basketball. You won’t see any C.C. players on the national All-American lists, but then very few schools have this honor. Tfie thing to re member is that the boys out on the basketball court are your team. They represent Charlotte College, and you are part of Charlotte College. The games that the 49’ers win wiU be for the glory of Charlotte College. Let’s fum out and show them and the opposing teams that we are proud of our school and what it stands for. COUNTING BALLOTS — The Elections Committee here certi fies Broome as Frosh President.

Taylor: Area ‘Educational Desert’ By Manuel Kennedy At an Informal supper meeting of faculty and alumni. President Bonnie E. Cone emphasized that the future-of Charlotte College will be determined by the success of Its alumni. Visiting with the faculty attliis early fall meeting were four alumni,i,wbo ar^ .engaged in gra duate work at widely separated centers. Jim Cornell had spent four weeks during the summer ofl962 at a Geological Field Camp in Wyoming, since he is a geology major. Bob Robertson, a French major, has been studying in France on a FuUbright Scholar ship. George Killough expects to receive his master’s degree in mathematics early in 1963. Ried Wentz Is now working toward a doctorate degree at the Uni versity of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill. In an impromptu speech Mr. R. L. Taylor. Charlotte College trustee, described our area as an “educational desert.” He sta ted. however, that area taxpay ers have been forced by the trustees of Charlotte College to “get off the fence.” People are no longer so complacent and apathetic toward the establish ment of a four-year college In Mecklenburg. Much interest has been shown by many individuals in the area toward helping Char lotte College reach its goal, he said. Following Mr. Taylor’s talk Dr. Bonnie Cone said that every one concerned with the school’s four-year program had “high hopes” of a committee recom mendation before Christmas,and that the Governor’s Committee must submit its report to the Governor by the early part of 1963'.
