STATE CONSIDERING AID FOR A-B.C.
In the opinion of North Caro
lina Representative Roy A. Tay
lor, Asheville-Biltmore College can
qualify and may receive state sup
port if and when the Institution
acquires Seely’s Castle and the
surrounding property.
Representative Taylor, who is a
member of the Board of Trustees
of the local college, ‘jponsored a
measure, which was brought be
fore the General Assembly. The
measure calls for a resolution to
aet up a special commission for
working on plans to establish a
junior college in Westtrn North
Carolina.
The special commls«lon would
work on three provisions,
I. To ascertain the facte as to
the extent to which present col
legia are meeting tho needs of
•tndenta on tho freshman and
•ophomoro levels.
C. Tol determine if there Is need
trrr the community college.
3. If it is found there is a need,
(a) to define the purposes of the
school, (b) set up standards and
criteria for developing such
schools, and (c) chart. the pro
gram of action for the state and
local communities in developing
the schools, Including recommend
ations for legislation on ways and
means of financing and effectuat
ing the program.
All indications point toward the
need for a better junior college In
this area. There are at least 49
per cent of our population that
hae the mental ability to complete
14 years of schooling with a cur
riculum of general and vocational
subjects. Of this totaS, there is
In the neighborhood of 25 per
cent who are unable to complete
tho two additional years of study.
Asheville-Biltmore College could
surely fit the need. The main ob
jective of our etruffffllnff coHegv is
financial support. Tb&t wo will
