Community
Colleges
The North Carolina General
Assembly has offered at its cur
rent sessio-n a proposal to es

community colleges. John B.
Bennett, Dean of Brevard Col
lege, presented a five - page let

relating the conclusions of an
extensive study that he made
to the Assembly’s proposal. His
arguments are as follows: (1)
New colleges are not now need
ed in North Carolina. (2) New
colleges are not needed in the
near future in North Carolina.
(3) Private colleges (small ones

public higher education in North
Carolina will be threatened by
such colleges. (5) Money neces
sary for such an undertaking
would be far better spent on ex
isting public colleges, the im
provement of the public schools,
and expansioin of certain phases
