General Assembly at Fayetteville
on January 6th, 1787, the college
opened its doors as Franklin

Turbulent times in state politics
had prevented the Academy from
getting its initial application for
charter of 1786 acted on until 1787.
Dr. McFarland highlighted the
exciting events in North Carolina
hisotory during the epoch of 1780-
1800. It was at this time that cer
tain western counties separated
from North Carolina to form the
state of Tennessee. Not until Gov

ton took office in the 1800s did
the state legislature pause to give
serious thought and action to state
education.

present programs of music before
the game and during half-time.
The final event of Homecoming
1962 will be a dance in the class
room building immediately follow
ing the game.
hearing the minutes of the last
meeting, Jeff Adams, president
called for the agenda. The first
item presented was a discussion
and vote on a homecoming queen
candidate to represent the Co-op
board. It was decidcxi that since
all constituent members separate
ly sponsored a queen it would be
impractical to have a candidate
from the Co-op. Thus it was moved
and carricd that no homecoming
queen be sponsored.
Editorship of the “Bulldog” was
the second item presented; Pete
Warren, administrative representa
tive, petitioned the board to ap>-
point two co-editors of the "Bull
dog” and begin work on said
pamphlet immediately to avoid the
summer school rush. A plan for
modernization and revamping of
this booklet will be financed by
the incorporation of some college
administration information and ad
vertisement in its content.
The point system problem placed
third on the agenda: Sandra Freed
man acknowledged severe opposi
tion to an increase of point hold
ings and or grade requirements for
an excess of activity points. Hence
the present system must bo strict
ly enforced to insure proper ad
herence to the orginal enactment.
Club presidents will receive forms
on which to acknowledge mem
bers, etc.
Mr. Warren announced that he
could find no official record of
the point system excepting its tab
ulation in the “Bulldog”. Accord
ing to Mr. Warren it is not in the
constitution. Mickey Hayes ai>-
pealed for a certain standard of
petitioning the board for excess
points and Peggy Bivins questioned
the entire purpose of the point
system as to its original purpose.
Hatton Hodges pointed out that
the whole problem of excess
points was centered around the
six major offices on campus, i.e.
Editor of the Collegiate, PresidMit
of the Co-op., etc., and any legis
lative changes should be directed
around these offices. Bob Stone
called for further study and the
discussion was then closed.
The final item on Monday’s
agenda was presented by J. Kel
ly Adams who called for the crea
tion of a “dead week” prior to
each exam week. This motion was
accepted as effective spring se
mester and clearly passed the
board on a majority vote.
