MARCH, 1963 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN PAGE 3 Student Poll By BILL NEWMAN In what way will the aecision of the North Carolina General Assembly on the question of Charlotte College’s status as a four-year college affect your plans for future education? Calvin Beckwith: Soph,: If their decision permits the extension of C. C. to a four year institution, it will enable me to continue my education more easily. Since I am developing a business herein Charlotte, a positive decision on the C. C. question will permit me to continue my education. Dick Raley, Fresh.: If the deci sion of the Assembly is to make C. C. a four yera institution, I will continue my education, as F believe that you can gain a much better education in a small college as opposed to a large one, Archie Costner, Soph.; It won’t. Fritz y. Merser, Soph.: I am planning to go to U.N.C., as I arr studying medicine and I need several courses that are unavail able here at C. C. The science curriculum should be broadened in certain aspects of higher chemistry. Jo Anne Burrows, Soph.: No. I am planning to major in spe cialized education, and , I will continue my education at the Uni versity of Tennessee. I attended a junior college for a year and half. You were treated as a high school student instead of a col lege student. C. C. is more on the level of a more serious as pect of college life. Also more students are planning on a four- year education and take their courses a lot more seriously than at some junior colleges. C.C. is not a junior college to me. Bill Forrest, Soph,: I think that it would be good for the people living in this area that are unable to attend a larger college because of jobs, or other obligations that they might hold, I think a four-year college will attract many students from other colleges and universities if the college Is able to meet the stand ards of our larger universities. Skip Stanley, Soph.: Since I am a transfer student, I was ori ginally intending to go back to my college. If C, C, becomes a four year school, I might re turn. I feel that more school spirit would help C, C., more interest in football, basketball, and baseball. All of this would contribute toward the enrichment of C, C, as a good four-year Institution. Football could make a lot of difference in my choice and probably for others. I aril sure there are some smaller schools we could compete with to start with. Mike Thomas, Soph.: I will be able to stay out here a little longer, and it will not cost as much. I v/ill be able to continue my education and have more hours to transfer to a senior institution. Charles Boone, Soph.: I am not planning to be here, but it should definitely become a four-year school. Bob Alexander: As far as I am concerned, the college’s changing its status will not affect my transferring, but I do recognize the potential of a four-year school in this area. Mike Earnhardt, Soph.: It will determine whether or not I grad uate from a four-year college or complete my education on the terminal curricular. John Chipley, Soph.: It doesn’t make any difference. Stewart Carroll, Soph.: It won’t affect mine, as I am transferring after this semester. Frederick Cornue, Soph.: It wiU have a very profound effect upon my plans. I came to C, C, in the first place for several reasons; one obviously was the cost. For someone who wants a college education and can’t afford nine hundred or a thousand dol lars, C, C, is the place. And, anyway, there is a pretty good faculty here. You get far more than your money’s worth in edu cation. Changing schools can upset a person’s educational pat tern. Four years of C, C, will enable the student with limited financial resources to continue college and will prevent disrup tive changes of environment, I plan to stay here, for both those reasons. Morris Spearman, Soph.; If C, C. becomes a four-year school I will be able to graduate from college. Otherwise I probably will not be able to graduate, Carol Holden, Soph,: I want a college education in order to be an educated housewife, Brenda Long, Soph.: I wUl return, Betty Berryhlll, Soph.: I wUl be back first semester, but after that I’m not sure whether I will return or go off to school. Bill Griffin, Soph.: I will be back this coming year, mainly because junior courses vrtll be offered.

Born in, Jeru salem, he has been in the United States since 1959. Rasml now has an excellent command of the English language and has adapted to the American way of life. Although he had never driven an automobile, he was able to get his driver’s license within a week after arriving in America. A scholarship student since 1960, he maintains a high average in his Business Administration course. Also his backgrond of world travel has given him a great interest in world affairs, which he demonstrates by parti cipating actively in the Charlotte College United Nations. He is also a member of the Spanish Club. A member of the Muslim reli gion, Islam, Rasml leads an ac tive religious life. Since there is no mosque in Charlotte, he regu larly attends Protestant chur ches. Quite often he worries that people will confuse the Muslim faith with the current “Black Muslims,” a fanatical group which stands for the abolish ment of the white race. To quote Rasml, “The idea of destruction of the white race is against the principles of Is lam, since the Messenger Mohammed • himself, who was white, states that there is no difference between one human being and another. The Koran states that God does not look at the skin or wealth, but judges man’s heart.” Since the creation of Jewish Israel in 1948, Jordan has been claimed as the homeland of the Shalabl family. Rasmi’s fa ther and one brother are now working in Charlotte, but the rest of the Shalabl family live in Am man, Jordan. Although many Americans pic ture Arabians in flowing robes and turbans, Rasml says that the dress in Jordan is very much westernizeid. Customs are, of course, different from those of America, and family ties are much closer. Rasml states that there is no racial discrimination in Jordan, One of the largest surprises which he received when he came to this country was the treatment of the Negroes here. At present, the primary aim in Rasmi’s life is to get an educa tion. He plans to complete his degree in Business Administra tion, and then he may return to work in the Jordanian Ministry of Education, where he was em ployed for four years before coming to the United States. He refuses to let anything interfere with his aim of getting an educa tion. New K Officers The Circle “K” Club has an nounced two new officers. The se cretary Is now Morris Spearman, and the new treasurer is Ronnie Webber, Library Exhibits Sunken Vessel The Engineers Club has placed in the library an itfipressive ex hibit of artifacts salvaged from a century-old ship which sank run ning the blocade around Wilming ton, N, C, With large panels picturing ships of the Civil War period, ‘Blockade Running in the Nineteenth Century” displays re lics from a British ship, named “Modern Greece,” which was sunk in 1862, “Modern Greece” was carrying guns and supplies to the Confederacy. Since the ship was run aground off the coast of North Carolina, it presents a special appeal to students interested In North Car olina history, as well as to those^ who are simply “interested.” The fifteen-foot exhibit, which was assembled by the Carolina Gun Collectors, will probably remain in the library during the entire month of March, Among the artifacts present in the exhibit Is an old musket of the type used during this period. The ancient firearm shows the effects of having been under water during the past cen tury. Both the wood and the metal are pocked with holes. One will also find tools, bul lets, knives, and other items in the display, which gives an idea of the types of implements which were used during this period of our history. Words and pictures on the panelled exhibit supple ment the story of an exciting era "of our history.
