CC Becomes
Medium
Charlotte College has been of
ficially recognized by the Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare as a “medium” college.
The department states that, since
C. C.’s enrollment of 1,540 stu
dents is above the 1,500 minimum
for medium classification, it is
no longer a small college.
Last year C. C. was a mere
midget with an enrollment of
only 1,414.

Accreditation Plans
Discussed With Students
In a meeting with Mr. Joe Ez-
elle. Assistant Executive Secre
tary of the Commission on Col
leges of the Southern Assocation
of Colleges and Schools, he ex
plained to a group of student lead
ers assembled in the College
Union, Wednesday, October 14,
that Charlotte College is a region
al accredited junior college. It has
not yet been accredited as a sen
ior college but is still in a tran-
sitorional stage.
A college wishing accrediation
must graduate three classes before
it may receive it. The progress
and developments the students as
graduates make will reflect on
this process.
Admittance to the university
system does not automatically
make Charlotte College an ac
credited college, said Mr. Ezelle.
Accreditation is up to the over-all
system of the individual college
Work is now being done to
abolish penalties to students who
graduate during the transition.
Graduate schools will look at a
Ftudent’s record rather than ac
creditation of an individual col
lege.
A year or two prior to accredit
ation is usually spent in institu
tional self study. Self study must
be very critical in order that im
provements can be made. Also,
student groups need help with
self study after they have been
indoctrinated as to just what self
study is.
among them are commedaecDfin.
About ten committees can be
formed to prmote accreditation.
Among them are committees of
faculty, library, and student per-
volving research, graduate class-
sonnel along with committees in-
es, and summer extension coui-ses.
Achievement of a totality of
qualities in balance will make a
school appear academically ac
ceptable for accrediation.

Charlotte College Steering Com
mittee.

Where have all tne gi-rls gone?
Not to the little establishment
on Highway 49 called Charlotte
College, any male student of the
same establishment will quickly
assert.
A check into the records cf
Mr. Robert Grogan, director cf
admissions, proved the hypoth
esis.
Of the 1,512 students attending
Charlotte College this semester,
only 395 are members of the
gentler sex. A weak twenty-six
per cent! (A true improvement
over 1962’s 22 per cent, how
ever.)
The records become more in
teresting, however, as one delves
further.
For instance, we’re smarter.
The 1964 freshman was a B stu
dent in high school and received
a score of 926 one hisc ollege

boards. Last year’s entering fresh

but enthusiastic cx'owd of students
and faculty in an appearance spon
sored by the Charlotte College
Young Democrat’s Club in the
College Union, October 23.
President Bonnie E. Cone greet
ed the politicians as they arrived
on campus. Also in the group
were five candidates for the
House of Representatives, five
candidates for County Commis
sioner and two candidates for the
State Senate.
Gene Horne of the YDC con
ducted the proceedings of the
meeting. Introducting Scott was
Dr. Donald Freeman of the Politi
cal Science Department.
In his speech Scott labeled Bar
ry Goldwater as “irresponsible,
inconsistant, inadequate and with
out experience needed by a man
serving as president.”
He critisized the Republican
presidential candidate for “vot
ing against every major piece
of legislation that will benefit
North Carolina and her people.”
Scott said that Charlotte College
would become a part of the Uni
versity of North Carolina and
that the medical center proposed
by Dr. Bill James for Charlotte
would “certainly be a big factor
in bringing the college into the
university system.”
Dr. James also voicecd his sup
port for and confidence in the
expansion of Charlotte College as
a branch of the University. He
was introduced by Mr. Bill Jack
son, a member of the Political
Science Department here. James
is opposed by Congressman Char
les Jonas.
