Gavin Discusses
College Plans
Robert Gavin, the Republican
gubernatorial nominee, visited
the college campus Friday, Octo
ber 9, at 10:00 A. m.
Mr. Gavin was previously in
vited for a meeting on Septem
ber 22. He was unable to come
at this time and "was invited
again for the above date.
The first thing on his agenda
Friday morning was a meeting
with Miss Cone from 10:00 to
10:30 at which time the two dis
cussed the college and its future.
Members of the Young Republi
can Club also attended the
meeting.
After meeting with Miss Cone,
Mr. Gavin spoke from 10:30 to
11:30 in room 206-209 in the
College Union building, as re
quested by the Political Science
department and the Young Repub
licans Club.
Three Democratic gubernatori
al candidates,, Bruce Burleson,
Richardson Preyer, and Dan K.
Moore came to the campus last
spring.
Collegian
Editor
At the end of the spring
semester the staff of the
Charlotte Collegian elected
Bob Andrews, a senior, to
the position of Editor. At
that time, Bob planned to
take only nine hours the
first semester in order to
have time to adequately
work on the newspaper.
This fall Bob learned
that two courses that he
needed in order to graduate
were only being offered
first semester and he was
forced to take 16 hours first
semester. In addition he
works 30 hours a week in
the language lab. Because
of this extra work load Bob
felt that he could not do
justice to the job of editor
of the Collegian therefore
he resigned.
When she learned of this
development, Susan Weber,
last year’s editor agreed to
return as temporary editor
until another person could
be found to fill the post.
Bob Andews will, how
ever, continue on the Col
legian staff in the capacity
of associate-editor.
Dr. Friday discusses the need
for a fourth UNC campus.
Former librarian Dies
Miss Rosannah G. Blair, a form
er libraran of Charlotte College,
died at her home on the morning
of Friday, September 25. She was
seventy-six years old and had
suffered a long illness.
Her funeral was held Sunday,
September 27, at Harry and Bry
ant Chapel on Providence Road.
She was buried in her home town
of Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Miss Blair was graduated from
Dickinson College and received
a masters from Columbia Uni
versity. She was a member of
the First Presbyterian Church
here and of the Cumberland
County, Pa., chapter of the
Daughters of the American Re
volution.
Miss Blair served as librarian
of Charlotte College from 1946,
when she joined the staff while
serving as librarian for Central
High School, until her retirement
in 1957. Under Miss Blair the
C. C. library grew from nothing
to 2,300 volumes. Dr. Bonnie
Cone attributes our library’s start
to the tremendous job done by
this determined librarian.

be able to obtain tickets to see
“Becket” for $1.00 instead of the

tions in the CU. 210 at 11:30 a.m.

Friday Pushes
“The sky’s the limit for Char
lotte College. I don’t believe any
one knowledgeable could deny
that it must indeed become a
campus of university status.
There is informal agreement that
this will happen in July, 1965.”
Dr. William C. Archie, North
Carolina Board of Higher Educa
tion director, was speaking to a
group of more than 200 educa
tors, legislators, business and
civic leaders September 22 at
Charlotte College’s Library Audi
torium in behalf of the school's
bid to become UNC’s fourth
campus.
Other speakers included Char
lotte College board chairman Ad
dison H. Reese, and UNC presi
dent Dr. William C. Friday.
In s u p p o rt of Dr. Archie’s
statement, Mr. Reece reasoned
that Charlotte College could be
come the fourth campus of UNC
more efficiently and economically
than could any other site in the
state.
“In this institution, the state
has an ideal answer to its needs.
Because of our planning, we can
become the fourth university
campus more economically in
terms of money—and that appeals
to all of us—more economically
in time and effort, and more
efficiently in terms of education
and service to the state than can
any other college or facilities,”
he said.
Mr. Reece pointed out the Col
lege’s library as an example of
the capacity of Charlotte College
to take on university status.
“Our library is planned so it
can be expanded to meet univer
sity standards. We have the

lege Union, the informal
dance for the students will be

cards will admit one student
and a guest. In addition, 50
cents will be charged for each
admission. The public is not
invited.
physical plant, the acreage for ex
pansion, and the ideal location
to serve the needs of the area.”
Dr. Friday admitted the need
for a fourth UNC campus but
singled out several very impor
tant questions which first need
affirmative answers.
—Will the General Assembly
in 1965 support a fourth univer
sity campus?
—Would a campus located in
this area contribute more to the
social and cultural development
of the state than one located
somewhere else?
.—Would a campus located in
Charlotte offer more to the in
dustry, commerce, and agricul
ture of the state than one located
elsewhere?
The general purpose of the as
semblage of dignitaries was to
gain support for the university
bid and explain exactly what
must be done to achieve it. The
proposal must:
—Receive the recommendations
of a special advisory committee
and the UNC trustees,
—Receive the approval of 'le
N.C, State Board of Higher Edu
cation,
—Receive the approval aid
provision of necessary funds
the N.C. General Assembly vviien
it opens its 1965 session in July.
Dr. Archie pointed out tlie
critical problem North Caroli ia
faces in its huge population in
crease.
He brought out that an in
crease in the number of students
by 42,000 is expected in the nc^t
three years and that accommodn-
tions for only about 11,000 of
these are indicated in the expan
sion plans of private North Caro
lina colleges, leaving 31,000 pros
pective students without facilities.
■‘If the .state doesn’t provi^’e
for these 31,000 students, \v4o
will,” he asked. “Somebody’s yct
to get ready.”

Puppets To Dance
In CC Auditorium
Daniel Llords with some of his “international" puppets to be
seen at Charlotte College on October 21.
Some prefer to be the most
expensive, some the largest, some
the greatest! At one time or an
other, LLOYD'S “INTERNATION
AL”, to appear here at Charlotte
College on Friday, October 21,
has been heralded as all of these.
But marionettiste Daniel Llords,
in the pioneering spirit of his
American ancestors, prefers be
ing the “first”. For instance, this
is the first American theatre
ever to appear in not just one
but in two international festivals
of Europe and the first and only
American marionette theatre suc
cessfully to tour in concert
around - the - world. Jules Verne
wrote the fantasy “Around the
World in Eighty Days” Daniel
Llords wrote history by travel
ing around the world on eighty
thousand strings!
Llords’ “International” is Fol-
ies Bergere, Royal Ballet, Radio
City Music Hall and “Barnum &
Bailey in ermine and pearls” —
puppets for adults!
Llords’ “International” is a joy
ous and colorful art, a marionette
ballet of spectacular proportions
for the “adult mind and the ma
ture appreciation” either in solo
recital to especially edited tape
recordings or as soloist with live
symphony orchestras. Indeed,
here is almost another “first”:
the reawakened interest of live
symphony and marionettes in
combined concert has been cred
ited to the “Segovia of the pup
pet strings”.
All of his training and experi
ence has crystalized into an hil
arious one-man Concert theatre
full of ingenious sound and scenic
fury which provides the perfect
vehicle for Daniel Llords’ many
talents as singer, actor, musician,
sculptor, engineer, playwright,
choreographer, designer and di
rector.

The girls were elected by the

dent of the Student Government
Association, John Scott and Gi'S
Psomadakis; the President of the
College, the Coach and the Chair
man of Athletics. Because the
three members of the group were
unable to attend Mr. Mark Tin«-
ham, Mr. L. Robert Grogan, ai'd
Miss Mildred English substituted
for them.
All of the girls except Miss
Barrier are members of t'le
freshman class. Eighteen students
competed for the title.
The seven new cheerleaders
will meet Wednesday, October 7,
to become acquaited and make
plans for the coming year. They
will soon elect the head-cheer-
leader and co-head-cheerleader.
