Silber, math major of the Charlotte College sophomore class, is among those chosen to receive a Morehead Scholarship to the University of North Carolina. Nominated by Charlotte College to compete for the scholarship, Silber was required to submit an application to the University of North Carolina listing scholastic and extra-curricular activities from his high school sophomore year to the present. As a result of this report, he was invited to the University and interviewed by the general com mittee on scholarships. This com mittee chooses the finalistis from the original applicants. When notified that he had been chosen to be a finalist, Silber again was invited to Chapel Hill. This time he was interviewed by the trustee of the scholarship Fund. Of 84 finalists at this meeting, 16 were from junior colleges. At the second interview, Silber was asked if he thought Charlotte College offers a challenge. His answer began with an interpreta- aion of the word “challenge”. He discussed whether it should mean an excessive work-load or proper help in a student’s endeavor to succeed at his studies. He said the latter is significant of what Charlotte College has to offer, that a challenge does exist, and that its degree is limited only by the student’s desire to learn. As a result of this interview, Silber was chosen as one of two junior college finalists to receive) the scholarships. Morehead scholarships, valued at about $1,250 a year, are awarded annually for undergraduate study leading to an academic degree Chapel Hill. The scholorships are available to graduates of junior colleges, prep schools, and high schools. The main requirements are ability and character.
