To see the world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower: Id infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour. William Blake ■■Hi A world is an abstraction of the mind, Queens is a world relative only to the people involved in it. Here we study the past, experience the present and plan for the future. Queens is the world while we exist in it. 3 A Grain Of Sand I A grain of sand is only a particle, but added to other grains, it becomes an endless beach. We at Queens form one of the grains which comprise the world’s storehouse of knowledge. To change one grain is to alter the universe. If heaven is a condition of sinless perfection, then Queens isn't heaven. But who wants heaven on earth anyway? Erring is learning; at Queens we're learning. Perfection is boring; Queens is not. Those not learning or those who are bored should not be at Queens, they should be in heaven. i A Wild Flower 9 How can we hold the endless, the immeasurable, the inconceivable? We can’t. At Queens we learn to end what is endable, measure what is measurable, and conceive what is conceivable. But we are learning that the possibilities of ending, measuring, and conceiving are infinite. 12 ■ : r rr rr sr — - ; smm— Though the mind’s eye sees infinite possibilities, it is limited to the abilities of the hand. Queens supplies the possibilities, but you hold the skills in the palm of your hand. A momentary flutter of the unconscious mind, can, within an hour, become a conscious idea that will change all. Imagine what all the hours of inspiration received from Queens can do in a lifetime! The Senior Class dedicates issue and hard working Coronet to DR. CLYDA S. RENT but companionable . . . pBnMHBaHHBHHOHBHBd and friendly. Since 1972, Dr. Rent has been among the faculty of Q.C. Associate Professor of Sociology, she is regarded highly by not only her major students but by all those who come in contact with her. As the admiring senior class puts it: She is known for her quick smile and quiet understanding, For her ability to captivate her classes for hours, And especially for showing us that there are many definitions for being a woman . . . and that we have only to reach out and pick the one that's right for us. Thank you Dr. Rent for being you. 1978 CORONET QUEENS COLLEGE CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA ROBIN PATRIC — EDITOR JULIE BARTLETT — PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR CINDY TREADWELL — ASSISTANT EDITOR ERIC BAYLIN — ADVISOR CONTENTS Classes....................................20 Faculty Staff Administration...............76 Traditions And Honors..................... 98 Organizations And Athletics . . ..........128 SES CLA i,SES What Kind Of Person Am I?

One more dormitory greenhouse coming up! ORIENTATION The purpose of orientation is to fit the new student into the day by day operations of Queens College. Selected upperclassmen serve on a board which designs the orientation program. Later they become workshop leaders during orientation. The program has three phases: academic, personal, and social. The academic aspect involves such events as meeting faculty advisors, planning class schedules, testing for course placement, registration procedures, and learning study skills. On a more personal level, new students are oriented to residence hall life. Also, this is the time when roommate adjustments are made, when financial responsibilities are discussed, and budgeting advice is offered. Finally on a more relaxed level, orientation includes mixers with other colleges, picnics, movies and other such social activities. Mom, Dad, you’re not just going to leave me here are you? . ..

A convocation on that day features a full academic processional and a guest speaker selected by the senior class. Dr. Alfred O. Canon was the featured speaker this year. 103 RUSH WEEK 104 Rush is a week of activities for freshmen and upperclassmen to witness Greek sorority life as it is within each house. From a slide show to a fondue party, from a carnival to an ice cream shoppe, the rushees are entertained with various songs and skits. Each day they have the opportunity to visit the houses and decide in which they feel most comfortable. Preferential bidding is the system of pairing the rushees’ choices with those of the sororities. and much socializing. PARENTS WEEKEND Standing in line for drinks at the food stand sponsored by the Alumnae Office for their Cornucopia. Dr. Rent speaks to parents about her sociology classes. )r One of the big weekends of the fall semester at Q.C. is the annual Parents Weekend. This year the festivities were held the weekend of Oct. 21- 23, and included a dance contest, a meeting with the faculty and administration, a picnic, a cam- pus-wide open house, and the highlight of the weekend — Stunt Night. A chapel service and Sunday buffet concluded the weekend. Looks like they’ve got you stumped. Dean Del Pizzo. Dr. Martin speaks to Kathy Wayland and Mom. 107 The Cornucopia Children’s Store decorated for Halloween. Celeste Cone sings between acts. Jan Helms “could have danced all night.” The sophomore class singing one of their more solemn tunes. Stunt Night, held this year during Parents Weedend, is the competition among the classes for four awards. However, the most important reward is that it brings students together in close relationships as they work for a common goal. Since the early 1930’s, Stunt Night has been one of the outstanding events of the college year. It calls for the interest and work of each student, and it provides an opportunity to bring out individual class talent. Each year, an overall theme is selected and the classes present original skits which relate to this theme. This year, the theme was “Hurray for Hollywood”.

Queens students, faculty, meal in Morrison’s Dining Hall. staff, administration and friends join in singing Christmas Carols following the big 110 — The traditional celebration includes a procession of costumed students who carry in the boar’s head, greet the guests, and read the scroll which tells the traditional story of the boar’s head feast. Each Christmas, Queens College celebrates the Yuletide season with the Boar's Head dinner. The tradition has its roots in a story which originated over 600 years ago. Long ago, a student was walking through the forest of Shotover, England, reading Aristotle, when he was attacked by a wild boar. The student’s only weapon was a book which he crammed down the throat of the beast, choking him to death. Later the animal was used in a feast at Queens College in Oxford. There, the feast was associated with the midwinter feast of Fryer, the god of peace and plenty, to whom the boar was sacrificed. Queens College in Charlotte has kept the tradition for the past 42 years. I This Christmas tradition was begun in 1727 when the Moravian Church established the custom of eating Moravian love buns and drinking coffee to celebrate Church festivals. The first love feast in North America was held in Savannah, Ga. in 1735. The feast signified union, love, and fellowship. In 1747, the Christmas Eve Love Feast was begun in Europe. Lighted candles were added to the regular ceremony to signify the love of Christ. ‘T am the light of the world”, and “Ye are the light of world — let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven.” 112 “We wish you a Merry Christmas An ancient British tradition, the Yule Log ceremony has been borrowed by Queens College since many years past. On the evening of the ceremony, a bonfire is built in the dorm quad, where two male faculty or staff members appear dressed in colonial costume to read an old proclamation and carry the Yule Log. Students gather around with holly and candles, and as the log is carried past, the holly is touched to the log, signifying good luck. The Yule Log is then thrown into the bonfire. All make wishes and throw' the holly into the fire. Finally there is carol singing and cookie eating. A real joy and closeness is shared by all at this happy Christmas tradition. YULE LOG CEREMONY Sirs Dillard and Atwater throw the Yule Log into the fire. Cookie monsters! 113 Making Yule wishes.

Those celebrations commonly included a carrying proces- sion of garlands, the appointment of a May King and Queen and setting up of a Maypole. Originally, all such festivities were intended to ensure fertility to the crops, and later to cattle and humans. Gradually, the significances were lost and the practice survived merely as popular festi- vity. At Queens, the festival is still remembered with a proces- sion of twenty girls from which is chosen a May Queen. Dancers further celebrate by dancing around the tradi- tional Maypole. Each year all festivities center around a central theme, which this year, was “Camelot”. 123 Junior representative — Kitty Dunn May Day activities continue for an entire weekend and in- clude, among other things, a picnic, a cocktail party, a formal and informal dance, and a Sunday afternoon trip to Carrowinds amusement park.

That answer is certain- ly not found in the format of the vehicle — for it can be described very simply as a presentation of some 24 songs by Jacques Brel, a Belgian com- poser-poet who lives in Paris. Indeed, this little show has no book and it fastidiously avoids any story line. Rather, the discovery of the Brel soul and its purpose is in the songs themselves. Each song is a complete drama of its own with a subtle beginning, a captivating middle, and a sharply penetrating ending. Together all of the songs reflect the atti- tudes of the sensitive, whimsical, and wide-spirited personality that is Jacques Brel. «■ 151 DRAMA The object of the Queens College Panhellenic Council is to develop and maintain fraternity life and interfra- ternity relations at a high le- vel of accomplishment.
