We are greatly indebted to Mr.
C. W. Gilchrist who has worked so
dilligently for our college in con
nection with the Chamber of Com
merce. This organization is behind
us lOJ percent. As many of you
know, a seventy name telegram of
thanks was sent to Mr. Gilchrist
after he made such a wonderful
statement in favor of the two col
leges at the City Council meeting
which I have mentioned. We are
also indebted to Miss Cone who
has worked very hard and long for
some form of outside financial help
for Charlotte College. Miss Frazier
has done quite a bit of work for
which we are indebted. She is
largely responsible for the back
ing which the Altrusa Club has
promised in the election.
Weliome Mr. Corbett
We welcome Mr. T. Alvin Cor-
b?tt, one of the new teachers at
Charlotte College this quarter. Mr.
Corbett is teaching the course in
Psychology which is being offered
this quarter.
Mr. Corbett is well jjrepared as a
Psychology teacher. He received
his M.A. degree from Florida State
University. He has done religious
work with the Desciples of Christ,
and at present he has a private
counsel service in Charlotte.
Mr. and Mrs. Corbett have four
fine boys of which they are justly
proud. We are glad to have Mr.
Corbett on the faculty of Char
lotte College.

Students who have taken the full
load of 12 quarter hours of work
carry on the school work as it
now stands, and possibly to ex
pand the number of courses of
fered at the present to include
more technical and vocational
courses.
As the college is presently op
erating in the red, it can not con
tinue to exist under this situation.
As it is supported almost entirely
by tuition charged students and
with very little outside help, one
can readily see why much needed
equipment, additional staff, and
more attractive salaries could be
obtained with an increase in assets
of $34,000.
.Many of you are voting age.
When May 4th rolls around it
will help you to get out and vote.

If you want Charlotte to have
the municipal college she greatly
needs, please do all you can in
helping to get the rest of the peo
ple of our fine city to realize this
fact. Charlotte deserves a fine
school of secondary education along
the lines of the courses offered
here at CC. So please, I ask you
again to help in any way you pos
sibly can to help Charlotte College
continue providing college credit
work to the high school graduates
of this city who might otherwise
not have the opportunity to re
ceive it.

Grade Fields told this air-raid
story. The girl said, “’Erbert, you
really shouldn’t 'ave kissed me like
that, with all those people so close
around us, even if it was in the
dark.”
“I didn’t kiss you,” said the boy,
looking angrily around in the
crowd. “I only wish I knew who it
was—I’d teach ’im.”
“’Erbert,” sighed the girl, “you
couldn’t teach ’iin nothing.”

This past month, the Charlotte
City School Board voted on having
an election May 4th to increase the
property tax by 2 cents on one-
hundred dollars. This increase in
proj.eity tax was presented to the
School Board by Mr. J. Murrey
Atkins, Chairman of the Char-
loUc College Advisoiy Commit
tee, whose members are Mr. Ken
nedy, and Mr. Young.
The following week, Mr. Ben
Ho.ack, lepresenting the school
Loaid, presented the tax increase
vote to the City Council. After his
pretentation and some inter-coun
cil discussion, Mr, H. H. Baxter
made the motion that they permit
the vote of the people to be held
on May 4.
Now, this two cents increase
is going to mean about $67,000
for Charlotte and Carver Col
leges The state law permits the
levying of a maximum of five
cents, but the .Advisory Com
mittee and Miss Cone feel that
two cents will be sufficient to
