April 20, 1979
Since 1963, North Carolina’s community college
system has grown to 57 institutions across the state.
Practically 100 percent of the state’s population lives
within easy commuting distance of a least one
technical institute or community college.
Currently, there is a Bill before the Sentate
Education Committee which would re-emphasize
and place even more importance on the community
college system of North Carolina. Senate Bill 266
would create State Board of Community Colleges
and Technical Institutes.
The Board would consist of 15 voting members as
well as the Lieutenant Governor, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and the Treasurer of
North Carolina, as ex officio, nonvoting members.
The General Assembly, by joint resolution, would
select the remaining seven..
I personally believe the proposed board could
serve our State well by offering direction and keep
ing closer tabs on our community colleges and the
programs they offer.
In addition, the board could also contribute fur
ther input to the growing liberal arts course offer
ings of the community colleges. These courses can
often give local students the option of trying trans
ferable university credits without the expense of
attending a major university. With the physical
facilities already available, there is no reason why
this valuable service cannot continue.
Still, the central emphasis must remain with voca
tional and technical training for young people
throughout North Carolina to prepare them for
worthwhile and profitable employment.
A State Board of Community Colleges and Tech
nical Institutes is a part of that emphasis.

Dear Libby
Dear Libby,
I have just entered my
senior year in high school
and there is a boy that 1
am dying to ,meet. He’s
the quarterback for our
football team, and he
doesn’t have any shortage
of girls chasing him. I’d
really love to date him,
but so would a lot of other
girls I know. Is there
any way I can get him to
notice me? I don’t want to
chase after him. Tina
Dear Tina,
You’re right not ot
chase after him. Why
don’t you brush up on
football so that you could
hold a* conversation that
would interest him. Be
friendly and show him
you are interested in hm
as a person. Be yourself. I
hope you’ll rate a date.
