Annual Dinner Host
The Charlotte College Chapter of the Collegiate
Council of the United Nations was host for the second
annuel banquet meeting of foreig-n students In this area
on Saturday evening, IVrarch 9. In addition to foreign
students enrolled at Charlotte College. gTiests cama

The annua] staff, which has
been hard at work since the be
ginning of this year, proudly an
nounces that the annual has gone
to press.
At the semester break, the
staff was weakened by the loss of
the associate editor, business
manager, and organization edi
tor. With this loss, the work of
each member grew more de
manding. One of the hardest pro
blems was arranging for club
pictures. “It’s hard to find a
time when people are free," says
class editor Dick Raley.'
The Si-Si staff had problems,
but they were a determined and
devoted group. An example of this
came when they decided they
needed an aerial shot of the
school and campus. Tommy Es-
tridge, laden with equip
ment, Dick Raley, and Judy
Idol, editor, boarded a plane and
pr^ared for take-off. Once in the
At its March meeting the fa
culty of Charlotte College ap
proved unanimously a policy go -
verning the probation and the ex
clusion of students who fall ser
iously short in their academic
progress.
Since an overall quality-point
average of 2.0 is required for
graduation from the college, the
faculty still considers that figure
a minimum and recommends that
students ■ strive to maintain a
safe margin above it. On the re
commendation of the Admissions
Committee, however, the faculty
approved a permissible scale of
lower averages if a student shows
reasonable promise of raising his
overall average in later semes
ters.
Students with 0-25 semester
hours are classified as fresh-
menl 25-52, as sophomores: 52-
90, as juniors: 90 and above, as
seniors.
Under the first provision of the
new faculty policy, a freshman
or sophomore who makes less
air. Tommy busied himself tak
ing pictures, but Judy and Dick
were too sick to notice!
As the deadline grew closer,
the work grew more serious and
harder. Nightly sessions lasted
until after one o’clock in the
morning. Saturdays and Sundays
were also wholly devoted to the
annual. At last it was ready.
Monday, February 25, the staff
sent their product to press. The
following Saturday night they re
laxed and enjoyed themselves at a
well-deserved party.
The members of the ‘63 Si-Si
staff are: Judy Idol, editor; John
Bemont, associate editor; Dick
Raley, class editor; Joe Wil
liamson, sports editor; Sara
Freeman, organizatign editor;
Harvey Gouch, business manag
er, Sandra Hodges, features edi
tor; Nancy Jo Wales and Mary
Beth Taylor, staff assistants; and

than a ratio of 1.25 quality points
in any semester will be placed
on probation. If his ratio for two
consecutive semesters is below
1.25, he will be excluded. The
same conditions of probation and
exclusion will apply to a junior
or senior if his ratio drops below
2.0.
The second provision governs
exclusion for overall quality point
average. A sophomore will be
excluded if his overall average
is below 1.5; a junior, belowl.75;
and a senior, below 1.9.
The faculty also approved au
thority for the Admissions Com
mittee, in administering this po-,
licy, to exclude any student who
is not making satisfactory pro
gress.
A third provision required
transfer students to have main
tained a “C” average at the
former college and to be eligible
to return there. Any exceptions
to this provision would have to
have prior approval of the Ad
missions Committee.

annual stafTs party which was
held celebrating completion of the
1963 annual.
AAUP Unit
Organized
A local chapter of the American
Association of University Pro
fessors was organized last
Thursday afternoon at a special
meeting called by Miss Mary R.
Denny, chairman of the English
Department.
The group elected Dr. Robert
W. Rieke president, Mr. John H.
Norman vice-president, andMiss
Marilyn Jody secretary-treas-
urer.
With Dr. Rieke chairing the se
cond half of the meeting, the
group voted to affiliate vrtth the
North Carolina Conference of
A.A.U.P. Chapters and elected
three delegates to attend the
next conference meeting in Ra
leigh. The elected delegates were
Miss Denny, Miss Eleanor M.
Markham, and Miss Patricia Ste
phens.
Fourteen faculty members at
tended the organizational meet
ing, most of them already mem
bers of A.A.U.P. It was assumed
that most of the faculty would be
in attendance at the next meeting
to be held three weeks later and
would thus becomecharter mem
bers of the new chapter.
Buffet service was arranged
in the library, and many nation
al dishes crowded each other on
the long serving table. Both stu
dents and faculty members of
Charlotte College had contributed
favorite dishes to the banquet
menu, which included Turkish,
Polynesian, Russian, Spanish,
French, Italian, and Mexican
food. And good, sturdy American
potato salad held its own very
well in the competition. Familiar
pickles and cheeses were scat
tered among the exotic dishes.
The party of seventy-five in
cluded also the members of the
Charlotte chapter and President
Bonnie E. Cone and several fa
culty members. The banquet meal
Pam Barrier was named
Sweetheart at the Valentine Dance
on February 23. After the inter
mission ceremonies, Pam and
her escort. Herb Baker, led the
traditional first dance. Soon the
Deanes List
Published
With the release of the Dean’s
List on Friday, March 1, the
student body gained a look at
C. C.’s best students. Heading
the list was Mrs. Doris Wedd-
ington, with straight A’s.
A closer inspection of these
thirty-seven students reveals
that about half of them received
scholarships. Their extra curri
cular activities ranged from Stu
dent Council work to various
clubs.
The most popular major
seemed to be Mathematics, but
the wide circle of majors does
point out the need for a larger
institution at Charlotte. Candy
Kimball, Judy Niedringhaus, and

Five members of the English
Department will appear on the
“New Horizxsns” television

In a half hour of informal dis
cussion the group wiU present
several aspects of role of hu
manities as the core .curriculum
in a college program.

culty on this program will be

proceeded informally and lei
surely, and casual conversation
filled the early part of the
evening.
After the meal, the Charlotte
College hosts conducted their
guests downstairs to the large
lecture room, and Mr. Larry
Lynn, president of the local chap
ter, introduced Miss Rosanne
Eubanks, the speaker of the even
ing. Miss Eubanks, a student at
Queens College, had visited Rus
sia for forty exciting days last
summer on a special tour fi
nanced by the Queens student
body.

court and other students joined
them, and dancing continued until
the last stroke of twelve.
This third successful dance
of the year was held in the spa
cious Pine Room of the Queen
Charlotte Hotel. Miniature aza
leas decorated candle-lit tables.
Couples swirled, twirled,
swayed, and even tvasted to the
music of Bill McIntyre and his
orchestra.
When the music stopped for
intermission at ten o’clock, pip
ing hot coffee and do-nuts were
served. Dancing was not resumed
until after the highlight of the
evening, the presentation of the
Sweetheart and her court by San
dra Hodges.
In the court attending Pam and
Herb were: Judy Smith escorted
by Mike Thompson, Carol Hold
en escorted by Freddy Martin,
Sarah Freeman escorted by
Tommy Winstead, Carol Minnick
escorted by Paul Pettie, Mary
Sadler escorted by Roily Blythe,
and Mary Fisher escorted by
Reggie York.
The dance was arranged by
the Social Committee of the Stu
dent Council, with Miss Patri
cia Stephens as faculty advisor.
Although this group share a
common interest in the English
language and its literature, they
will probably show widely vary
ing degrees of emphasis on
classical and contemporary au
thors, on esthetic form and lit
eracy content, on the history Of
ideas and the history of a language
itself.
Being telecast at a reasonable
half-hour on Sunday morning, this
unexpected appearance of five
members of the English faculty
will come as a convenient bonus
to the students of Charlotte Col
lege.
