Page 2 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN Friday, November 4, 1960 PLEASE VOTE Bij JERRY LEONARD We strongly urge all students to vote FOR the bond issue necessary for the survival of Charlotte College. The accep tance of this bond issue by the greater Charlotte community is a must. Every student should assume a personal responsi bility to effect its passage. You can aid the passage of this bond issue, not only by voting, but by encouraging others to vote. Contact relatives, friends and other acquaintances. Tell them what the college means to you as a student. You, the student body, can do what no other group can toward enlightening the voter about the need for our college. Charlotte College is not just an institution; it is a part of us as well as a part of Charlotte. It is a living entity in which many have great faith. It is made of people and their hopes and ambitions. If it were not for this school, many could not attend college at all. It serves a great need in giving the youth of this area an opportunity to gain a college education while living at home and to attend college while holding a full time job. Here a person can pursue the type of education he desires. Some will continue their education elsewhere; others will go directly into their vocations upon leaving the school. But all of us receive the school’s benefits. Let Charlotte know about our college. Point out the advantages of its continued growth to the student and com munity. You may be sure that if Charlotte College students and alumni will speak, the people of Charlotte will listen. The whole future of higher education in Charlotte de pends upon this bond issue. We need a four-year curriculum, and the people must be made to realize this. It is our job to open their eyes. We sincerely hope the people of the Charlotte area will support us wholeheartedly on this important bond issue. Let us all stand behind the goals of our school and its founders and make these goals known. And remember on November 8th be sure to vote and to support the lifeline of Charlotte College. EDITORIAL By JEANNIE GLASGOW THE COLLEGIAN, and our college yearbook, the SI SI, are dependent financially on the advertising space purchased by Charlotte businesses and industries. These ads, however, are seldom read or even noticed by the student body. Con sequently, many local firms have ceased campus newspaper and yearbook advertising. In a sense, they are entirely justified, for their invest ments in our publications are practically ignored, and there fore become only “tax-deductible contributions.” Few effi ciently run businesses can allow this unprofitable facet of their budget to continue, even though they sincerely want to support Charlotte College. No wonder all the members of our business staffs have circles under their eyes and holes in their soles. The solution is for everyone to wake up and read the whole publication, including the ads. By remembering these names, and patronizing them when possible, our student Fdiiriifional body will be doing themselves a favor, for then the Charlotte College publications will have the necessary financing to grow and improve. This area of school spirit is just as important as voting or supporting athletic teams. These publications are the voice of Charlotte College in permanent print. Remember to read everything — including the ads! Oliver Rowe Needs Cited By JERRY LEONARD Three cheers for Oliver Rowe a trustee of the Charlotte’s Com munity College System. A couple of weeks ago Mr. Rowe gave the Chamber of Commerce Education Committee the real story on educa-. tion in the Charlotte area. He said that this section has had a histor ical effort of 190 years in attempt ing to get a tax-supported college. Now that two schools have been founded, it appears that the peeople of Mecklenburg are not aware of the great task remaining. C.C. students do not depend upon To quote Mr. Rowe: “Unless we the idea of “born leaders” alone, can find some way to build . . . Student Council members and club faster than we are now . . . many officers have organized for leader- Mecklenburg citizens are going to training, find it impossible to get their chil dren into college at all.” Leadership Class Is Formed Help Mayday Approximately 25 officers, coun cil members, committee chairmen.

CC Band Has Vacancies CCs fledgling band is in therf pitching. It is on the up-hil! grade yet but has lots of spirit. Students musicians are asked to come forth and be counted. Writers Club Has New Constitution The C.C. Writers Club has rati fied a new constitution, which deletes the two quarter enrollment requirement for membership and qualifies artists for invitation to membership. The new constitution, approved at the October 16th meeting at the Charlotte Public Library, in cludes the following: 1. to be eligible for membership, a student must be regulary enrolled at Charlotte College and must in dicate an interest in creative writ ing. Ability must be demonstrated by work submitted to the group. 2. The Vice President of the club will be editor of the Parnassian. The old constitution assigned the editorship to the president. 3. There will be a circulation- business manager added to the club staff. The new position was created to handle advertising which will be included in the 1960-61 publication. 4. Club officers for the coming year will be nominated by a special nominating committee in the spring. Nominations have been made from the floor heretofore, but under a recent Student Council ruling, The Parnassian editor and business manager will be subject to approval by the Student Council. The Collegian staff publishes a newspaper but—don’t forget—it is your newspaper and will be just as good as the interest and support you give it.

Twenty-five years ago, reports Architectural Forum, there were 500 junior colleges in the U. S., most of them private, with a total enrollment of 100,000. Today there are 667 junior col leges and 900,000 students, and en rollment is growing at a “fantas tic” rate. These two-year schools will be needed badly because in 1965 an estimated 5 million boys and girls (60 per cent of all high school graduates) will be seeking to further their education at some kind of college. In trying to find ways to meet this demand for more learning, edu cators look upon the junior colleges as a godsend. A particularly en couraging development is the ex plosive growth of community col leges—junior colleges for specific, local communities. According to Forum, the junior college offers at least three things which other educational institutions don’t: (1) two years of low cost education after high school for the less well-to-do; (2) a two-year pe riod in which a student may decide whether or not to go on to a full- fledged college education; (3) fa cilities for adult education on a scale never before available in U. S. communities. The junior college movement, says Forum, has spread “like wild fire” through western states, with California alone having enrolled 4,000,000 students last year. The $250 million bond issue voted for education in New York State in 1958 will go largely toward the creation of junior colleges, and similar programs are under way in Illinois, Florida, Maryland, South Carolina and other states. North Carolina has only 24 junior- grade institutions, 5 public and 19 non-public, with 8,503 (13.5%) out of the total 63,022 students en rolled in college this year in these two-year institutions. The majority of junior colleges (more than 40 per cent are inde pendent or related to some religious group) are controlled by a public authority — usually a local board supervised by a state agency. Jun ior colleges in this category account for nearly 90 per cent of all stu dent enrollments. The following monthly schedule of meetings for the fall quarter has been set up by the Inter-Club Council. All groups will meet at 8:00 p.m. These dates and hours are reserved for these meetings, and no special meetings are to be scheduled at these times.
