THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN
April, 1964
A Four Year Constitution
For A Four Year School
The new constitution is finally here. The constitution
was obviously needed and automatically forth coming.
A referendum vote will be held April 8-9. This document
is a possible solution to the efficiency problem in the
Student Government Association. It separates the
Student Government Association into Executive, Legis
lative, and the new Judiciary which is a means of m-
ternal checks and balances.
The impeachment process is. designated and outlined.
Now there can be no excuse for incomplete representa
tives among the Legislative and Executive Council.
Students, this is the statement of impeachment proceed
ings—read it carefully.
Last year the Constitution had to be amended to allow
for the election of Junior Class Officers and Representa
tives; therefore, for a new senior institution, a four
year college, automatically a new constitution is neces
sary.
The Judiciary Article creates a court to decide upon
the rules and regulations made by the Legislature. This
is not for rules concerning the campus grounds. This
constitution is up-to-date and provides a firm founda
tion for the SGA to begin plans for a new year. Scru
tinize this constitution and give your vote towards a
more efficient Student Government Association.
Letter To The Editor:
What is the purpose of the Student Council?
This ‘hallowed’ body is supposed to operate under the
constitution of Charlotte College as a representatiye
agent of the students. But this is completely false m
action.
Our student council is a curious animal. It wants
power over all organizations in order to stamp them
official agents. The Student Council also wants this
power over such organs of the student body as the
Collegian and Si Si. These time honored arms of and
agents for the student—we are paying for them—
should be free of student government. Some of the Coun
cil either want to or tend to represent groups or factions
rather than the students. Whatever power the Student
Council has, some members seem to want more. Too
many of them do not know what or how to use what
little power they already possess. The main problem
is that some of the members go to the administration
without due consideration for the students.
This organ, which at times is rather malignant, tends
to by-pass the important issues on campus and scream,
rant and rave over issues which have no value. These
minor fights tend to turn into personality conflicts. An
example of this is the 45 minute squabble over whether
the student council should and would have a telephone
Yet the council hastily passed two measures without
due consideration for the true essence of the programs.
The first point which the council should have con
sidered was the recognition of the funds for The
Literary Cluh. They assumed from the scanny report
presented by the President that there would only be
one issue this spring of the Paimasian. They closed the
possibility for more than one issue under the funds pro
vided. This measure should have been presented by a
member of the literary club for complete information.
This points to the need for knowledge, complete, of our
members.
The second point was the passing of $75.00 appropria
tion for W.U.S. without recommendation of the student
body, whom they are supposedly representing. I per
sonally do not believe that the Student Council has the
right to spend money as some have said “. . . for unity

Letter To The Editor:
f want, in an atmosphere of recriminations and criti
cism, to compliment the staff of our library on an excel
lent job of setting up and running their oragnization.
The Library, in case anyone hasn’t noticed, has grown
by leaps and bounds since it served as our College union,
in the dark days prior to that institution’s advent. The
Big Move from the Kennedy Building to the newly-
erected Library came last summer during Second Sum
mer Session. I couldn’t help but admire a really sharp
outfit at work, even though I was not in school at the
time, and got only a glimpse of the operation. But, not
only was the entire Library moved in a very short time
and set up ready for action in an astoundingly short
time, but the Library Staif also kept their individual
composures during the process. I am no easy customer
over there, but I’m impressed at the courtesy and effi
ciency of the Staff, whenever I have a special request
to make. These people, under the guiding whiphand of
Mrs. Mosselle Scherger, have done a job to make anyone
proud. Ladies (and gentlemen), I thank you, and I hope
others will do the same.

FLAGGART TAKES
BREATHER
The Honorable Reginald M.
Flaggart took a breather from
his rigorous Presidential cam
paign yesterday to rest at his
family home in Juarez, Mexico.
He allowed yours truly to visit
him and to obtain the exclusive
interview which follows.
Mr. Flaggart, I’m very grate
ful to you for allowing me to
visit you.
That’s perfectly natural for
a humble boy like you to be
grateful to a kind friend of the
people like me. I invited you
here because you write articles
which are favorable to me. I
liked the way you wrote that I
spoke with compassion, as if I
were calling to a lost and home
sick sailor, when all the other
writers said I had a voice like
a fog horn.
Thank you, Your Honor. Does
this mean that if you are elect
ed you will consider granting me
a position as your press secre
tary?
Well I don’t know son. How
much is the job worth to you?
To change the subject, I sup
pose you plan to spend your
Presidential vacations here in
Juarez. Don’t you think this may
offend the American people?
I don’t think so. I’ll time my
vacations to coincide with those
of the Mexican president, who
takes his vacations in the United
States. If a crisis arises while
I’m gone, the American people
can call on him.
Since you’re not married, does
this mean that the country
would have no First Lady dur
ing your administration?
On the contrary. With the
divorce laws here in Mexico, the
country may have three or four
First Ladies during my adminis
tration. It all depends on how I
feel.
Mr. Flaggart, your critics
state that you know little about
world affairs. Is this true, sir?
It most certainly is not. I’ll
have you know that I am better
informed on the Viet Nam
Canal crisis and the war in
Panama than anyone else in the
country.
Are you in favor of medical
care for the aged?
Yes, and I also think that
young people should have medi
cal care when they are in need
of it.
Is there anything that you
want me to tell the American
people for you, sir?
Tell the people of the United
States that their invincible
champion of justice will return
soon. While you’re at it, tell
them that I will be back in the
near future also.

THE BEST
No medical evidence or scien
tific endorsement has proved
any other cigarette to be superi
or to Bent. That is a clear, sim
ple fact. Let’s repeat it. No
medical evidence or scientific
endorsement has proved any
other cigarette to be superior
to Bent.
If no other cigarette is su
perior to Bent, then Bent must
be the best. This means that
Bent does everything a ciga
rette is supposed to do, and does
it better than any other ciga
rette. Therefore, Bent will give
you a worse case of lung cancer
than any other cigarette. Smoke
Bent, with the micronite filter.
The preceeding was an adver
tisement.
TALK ABOUT RAZOR
BLADES
There’s been a lot of talk
about razor blades lately. I won
der if you’ve heard these new
blade commercials.
“With only one Curseonna
blade, I shaved by beard, head,
arms, legs, chest, and eyebrows.
Then, when I looked in the mir
ror, I used the same blade to
slash my wrists.”
“I got 43 shaves with one
Curseonna blade. I would have
gotten more, but, as I was re
moving it from the razor, it
slipped from my hands, fell on
my wife’s diamond ring, and cut
the stone in half. That dulled it
somewhat.”
“With the Curseonna I got
923 shaves as opposed to 754
with the blip and 519 with the
blip. I’m going to use the money
I saved on blades to have plas
tic surgery done on my face.”
“After shaving with the new
Curseonna, I’ll never go back
to using broken bottles.”
“My group of Atlanta barbers
got far more shaves with the
Curseonna than the group which
used the blip blade. I don’t know
if there’s any connection or not,
but my group had 31% fewer
cavities, too.”
Roger Maris says, “The new
Curseonna is the only blade for
me. I got three times as many
shaves with it as I got with the
blip or the blip. And, by the
way, a Curseonna blade shaves
much closer if you don’t have
greasy kid stuff in your beard.”
“. . . and if you’re not com
pletely satisfied with the new
Curseonna blade, we’ll buy you
a pacakage of blip, or blip, or
whatever blade you think is bet
ter, blip blip it!”
IN CLOSING
In closing I would like to
leave you with the words spok
en by Sonny Liston just prior
to the first round of his last
filght. “Yon Cassius has a lean
and hungry look. Such men are
dangerous.”
dear boss
dear boss
a moth eaten parable
i bring you here
to bring you a word
of despondent cheer
i once knew two moths
who flirted with flame
again and again
but differently
one moth knew all
or so he said
about fire and flame
he knew it was warm
and deadly
and it made
an interesting game
but never too close
would he fly to the flame
for then he was sure
that poof
he would die
besides
he already knew all
so why should he fly
into flame
and die
question mark
for knowledge
question mark
ha ha he would say
he knew all
already
and so
needed none
the other moth said
he would rather be dead
than know all
for then there would be
nothing
to learn
sad
but noble
said the other moth
derisively
as he flew
around the flame
safely
the noble moth died
fried
alive
and lived
the other simply
existed
embroiled
in his ignorance
dead
for all eternity

Preyer Gains Support
Among C C Students
Submitting a constitution to
the Charter Committee chair
man at the Student Council
meeting of March 16, 1964, the
Charlotte College Students for
Preyer were granted temporary
sanction to operate as an official
college club until its constitution
could be examined by the Char
ter Committee before the April
6th Student Council meeting. A
few of Charlotte College’s poli-
iically-minded students, unable
to work through the CCYDC,
thus formed an organization in
which they can actively cam
paign for Judge L. Richardson
Preyer’s candidacy for Demo
cratic Governor of North Caro
lina.
The objective of CCSP is to
inform college students in the
Charlotte area through personal
contact, publicity, and written
information of Judge L. Rich
ardson Preyer’s campaign for
Governor of North Carolina.
Students for Preyer is the
first state-vdde student organi
zation to support a candidate
for Governor of North Carolina.
It will work closely with the
Young Adults for Preyer, a
group which is headed by Art
Weiner of Greensboro. Three
students from North Carolina
colleges will direct the Students
for Preyer campaign, they are:
Charles Shaffer, basketball and
tennis star at U.N.C.; John Byi-
num, student body president at
North Carolina State; and Kitty
Bernhardt, editor of the annual
at Wake Forest College. ,
Working with the state and
local “Students for Preyer” or
ganizations, the Charlotte Col
lege chapter is among the first
in the state to become organized
on a college campus.
The chairman of CC’s Stu
dents for Preyer is Bill Queen.
Bill was appointed by the West
ern District College Students
for Preyer Chairman, Gene
Horne, a student at GC. Bill
then appointed Tom Meacham to'
become his Vice-Chairman and
Mr. Jackson of the Political
Science Department volunteered
to advise the organization.
For the past several week
ends, Charlotte College Students
for Preyer have helped the^
local organizations in distributS§^
ing pamphlets, bumper stickers,
and campaign buttons at Char
lotte’s shopping centers. The CC
organization, particularly, has
staffed Cotswold Shopping Cen
ter, Charlottetown Mall, and
Park Road Shopping Center.
