New Columnist Will
About Sex, Religion,
By DAVE NANNEY
Hi- I’m Dave Nanney. I’m go
ing to be writing a column for the
Collegian for the remainder of the
year. Yes, I’m going to be calling
Um! Um! About anything of con
cern to the student body and to
me. I collect nichol knowledge and
incidentally, if you have any please
leave a note at the C. U. desk with
my name on it.
I’m interested in sociology, psy
chology, government, sex, poli
tics, art, religion, logic and current
events. I’m interested in anything
people like to talk about! Knowl
edge is my booze and I’m an alco
holic. Whether by the glass, can,
jar or tumbler, I really like that
booze. I sip in the morning; I
sup during the day; and I guzzle
sometimes throughout the night.
And I love every drop of it.
And then I'm going to be draw
ing from my experience person
ally as well as from that related
to me by other people. For in
stance someone once told me of
a fantasy he had. It seems that
he was sitting in Central Park
in New York City on a park
bench when he noticed a scuffle
going on.
A bum with a cigar butt in his
mouth was being treated rather
roughly by a larger, more power
ful man. Apparently the larger
man was trying to stuff paper
down the throat of the bum. The
two finally wore themselves out,
th€ fight ended, and the bum walk
ed over to the bench. Asked for
an explanation the bum had this
to say:
"That was my brother; he's
been trying to stuff blank checks
down my throat for years."
"Blank checks?”
“Yes, he’s a multi-millionaire
and domineering.”
"You mean you could have any
amount of money that you . . .”
“Yes.”
“Man, do you not know what
money can buy?”
"Oh yes my brother is also a
Write
Politics
very powerful man." "He would
help me to rise even to Governor
if I would co-operate."
“Why don’t you let him help
you?”
“I just happen, friend, to like
being a bum.”
We all have dreams or fantasies
that we remember and interpret
in our own ways, I suppose.
I don’t belong to any social
clique on campus as I value per
sonal virtues such as honesty, in
tegrity, dignity, and frankness
above the values of any particu
lar group. I am, however, interest
ed in talking to all types of people
for material for this column. I’m
in the cafeteria every day. If you
have something to say about any
thing, just walk right up to me
and say it!
Fayetteville Dean
Speaks To NEA
Dr. Malvin Moore, Dean of Fac
ulty at Fayetteville State College,
Fayetteville, North Carolina, was
the NEA Cluib’s guest speaker on
November 20. With Helen War
ren, the organization’s president,
presiding over the program,
George Simpson intorduced the
speaker for the evening.
Dr. Moore’s prepared speech,
wihich concerned the present
problems in the Belgian Congo,
was aptly titled, “Seed Without
Harvest.” Dr. Moore named and
discussed at length the social
structure in the Congo beginning
with the Bu^h People, the lowest
level of society to the Europeans,
the highest ranked in this social
cast system.
“The society in the Belgian Con
go is based entirely on patriot
ism,” Dr. Moore stated. “The na
tives are educated, not to benefit
themselves and make their future
more secure, but to enhance the
wealth and power of the Belgians
in the Congo.”
This year's schedule includes
many highly respected basketball
teams such as Guilford, Tampa
University, Belmont Abbey, and
Presbyterian. Coach Irv Edelman
feels, however, that the 49ers can
hold their own against this compe
tition.
Last year the 49ers finished with
a 9-16 record despite the loss of
five key men to the books at the
semester break. Before the semes
ter the 49ers were leading the
Dixie Conference with five con
secutive victories.
The big gun in Charlotte’s of
fense this year will be six-foot,
five-inch Ronnie Robinson who was
the second leading scorer in the
conference last year with a 19.4
average. Robinson was chosen as
All Dixie Conference and All Sun
coast Tournament.
The backcourt consists of six-
foot, two - inch Charlie Jacobs,
whose 20-point average was lost
at the end of first semester last
season. Along with Jacobs will be
five-foot, seven-inch Jimmy James
and five-foot, nine-inch Butch Gil
bert both three-year veterans.
The Charlotte College 49ers scor
ed what may be one of their big
gest victories this year Tuesday,
Dec. 1, a 86-80 overtime defeat
over Belmont Abbey at Haid Gym
in Belmont.
The 49ers jumped to an early
lead and led by as many as five
points throughout the first half;
however a cold streak allowed the
Abbey Crusaders to come back
and take a 35-30 halftime lead.
After halftime the 49ers came out
of the dressing room with fire in
their eyes and began to make
their comeback bid. The score was
tied by Bobby Lemmonds at 54-54.
From there on it was nip and tuck
with neither team leading by more
than three points.
The 49ers held a 73-71 lead
with two seconds to go but two
free throws by Crusader George
Affuso tied the score at 73-73
and time ran out before another
shot could be taken.
After grabbing a four point lead
James is the quarterback and a
tremendous passer and playmaker.
With Robinson in the frontcourt
six-foot, five Tommy Gilliam and
six-foot, four Wally McGinty will
provide excellent shooting and re
bounding. Gilliam is a freshman
who has shown lots of potential in
pre-season play. McGinty played
freshman basketball at Wake For
est before transferring to Charlotte
College.
Bobby Lemmond, a six-foot, six
freshman is expected to see much
action at the pivot and could de
velop into a very fine center.
Two men from last year’s team,
six foot, four Gary Gummerson
and five-foot, eleven Gene Hender-
S01, are two seasoned veterans
wlio will help in the frsnt court.
Ssveral newcomers have looked
very promising in pre-season drills.
They are six-foot, two Doug Prid-
dy, a transfer from Oak Ridge
Military Academy, Lanny Correll,
a five-foot, eleven guard, Hank
Rivers, who played service basket
ball, Robbie Snipes from Garinger
High and Rick Autry, a six-foot
guard.
If academic troubles are over
come thij year's 49ers may very
well reach unexpected heights.
at the start of the overtime the
49ers put on a display of good pass
ing and ball handling that forced
the Crusaders to foul. With less
than a minute remaining Char
lotte’s lead was eight points and
it was all over but the shouting.
Final score: 86-80, Charlotte.
Every man on the 49ers start
ing team scored in double figures
lead by Ronnie Robinson with 28
points and Charlie Jacobs with 21.
Jimmy James scored 12 points and
Wally McGinty and Tommy Gilli
am contributed 11 apiece before
fouling out.
The 49ers out shot and out re
bounded the Crusaders and in
spots completely outclassed them,
but mistakes were costly. A rash
of mistakes was the reason for
the Abbey's five point lead at the
end of the first half.
The leading scorers for Belmont
were Bill Dockery with 23, George
Affuso with 16, and Gene Mc-
Getrick with 16.

Charlotte 100-77
In Opening Game
The Guilford College Quakers
handed Charlotte College its first
loss of the season in the opening
game for both teams Saturday,
Nov. 28, at the Guilford gym. The
Quakers used strong rebounding
and scoring in issuing the 49ers a
100-77 defeat.
Guilford jumped out to an early
lead and never gave it up, even
though the first half was always
close. The 49ers often trailed by
only two or three points until the
Quakers pulled ahead by six points
at the half with the scoreboard
reading 41-35.
After the half the Quakers began
to pull away until the 49ers were
forced to go into a press allowing
the Quakers many free baskets.
Five men scored in double
figures for the Quakers. Freshman
guard Tommy Loftus led the way
with 20 points. Bob Kauffman,
a six foot eight inch center, scor
ed 19 points and grabbed 12 re
bounds in his first college game.
Chuck Scott contributed 15 points.
The Quakers hit an astonishing
73.1 per cent of their shots from
the floor and outrebounded the
49ers 39-26.
Scoring for the 49ers was led by
Ronnie Robinson with 21 points
and guard Charlie Jacobs with 20
points. Wally McGinty was the only
other 49er in double figures with
13 points.
