APRIL 11, 1958 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN Page 3 Girl of the Month Miss March I IJI ^ , , f k Miss Lib Moore Director speaks at Church Continued from Page 1 The City School Board—for whose co-operation Miss Cone had the highest praise—has siffniXied its willingness to relinquish control of the college to the new board of trustees as soon as the county- wide tax is voted. When that is done, and when the college qualifies for its full quota of state funds, it can proceed with plans to acquire its own campus and erect its own buildings. It will then, Miss Cone said, be a college in its own right. She emphasized the community nature of the college by pointing out that 94 per cent of the students come from Charlotte and Mecklen burg county. Such a large propor tion of these come from outside the city limits that Charlotte College can be considered as much a project of the county as of the city and therefore deserving of a county- wide tax. In leading up to this thesis, Miss Cone traced the history of the Col lege from its beginning as an ex tension service of the University of North Carolina just after World War II. When the University de cided to discontinue this service, she said, three cities determined to continue their community colleges. Charlotte College became a part of the city school system and was operated by the city school board. In May, 1954, Charlotte voted a two-cent tax for support of the college. In 1955, after a strenuous campaign, the General Assembly w^s persuaded to provide state aid to the college. As a result the state is now giving $135 for each student. I.i 1955 the new building was elected, and the College moved into it in 1956. It contains offices, three laboratories, three class rooms, and a bookstore. In addition, the Col lege was able to obtain a library of 6,000 volumes to supplement the Central high school library, which is also available to students. She closed with an appeal that Charlotte and Mecklenburg county do not deny nearly 500 of their most promising young people an educational chance that would oth erwise be beyond them. 207 S.

No More Indoor Smoking Asked In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to diversified emotions which have been ade- qi-ately covered by all the poets from Chaucer to Hal Kellams. Therefore, we shall not dwell upon that topic; we shall make our point in a scientific manner, to wit: Following the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere, the celes tial phenomena are accompanied by a pronounced moderation in the temperature of the terrestrial at- '.’’osphere; since the blood tempera- t re of the species homo sapiens is maintained at 98.6° F’arenheit, an extremely low environmental tem perature obliges the body processes to labor in inverse proportion to the body’s activity in order to hold blood temperature in equilibrium. Therefore, the aforesaid mammal seeks an environment whose tem perature has been artificially raised in which to pursue its nor mal activities, such as inhaling the sub-microscopic particles of a gas eous discharge given off by an ig nited and smouldering aromatic herb encased in tissue paper. In other words, when the weather is cold, students seek the shelter of indoors to smoke. Little has been said about the matter, but now that spring has brought warmer weath er, Spanish Club Plays Host To Students From Chile The Spnni -h Club of Charlotte College recently played host to thir teen students and one professor from the University of Chile, in Santiago. The visitors, who were guests of the Charlotte Rotary Club, were boarded in private homes. They were in the city for two days. The C hileans were met P’riday night by Mr. David Littlejohn, professor of Spanish at (har- lotte College. On Saturday, our students met the visitors and conveyed them to the l.atta Park Center. 'i’here, games were played by a few, and conver sation was played by many. The conversation consisted of a curi ous mixture of Spanish. English, and sign language. When a form of communication had finally been decided upon, stu dents and visitors left to go shop- pring, tour Charlotte, and prepare for the dinner that night. The dinner consisted of Ameri can steak, which the Chileans ate with American hunger. During the meal, and afterwards, the visitors were entertained again by conver sation. It is interesting to note that one American dollar is equal to 800 Chilean pesos, the monetary unit of Inver view Joe Pickard, V. P.

They added, how ever, that an American could make a tour of Chile for about 200 dol lars and live comfortably during the trip. Chile is the most democratic of the South American countries, they said. The climate is much like that in the southern U. S., and the peo ple are similar in attitudes and per sonalities. After the meal, the visitors gave their Charlotte College hosts gifts of pesos and banners of the Uni- veisity of Chile. They loft Char lotte the next day.
