Greater Mt. Siani Burns Mortgage
On last Sunday, July 1, the
Greater Mt. Sinai Baptist
Church, under the leadership
o# the pastor, Rev. N. E.
Kerry, was able to burn the
mortgage on the indebtedness
of their new church home.
Greater Mt. Sinai relocated
from 817 East 7th Street (in
the First Ward area) in March
of 1975 to their new location
1243 West Boulevard (former
ly Westover Baptist Church).
The purchase of the new loca
tion was $250,000.
The Officers and members
were very elated that Rev.
Kerry gave them a plan
whereby this large indebted
ness could be paid off in four
and one half years. This
property is now valued at a

When asked why the new

massive numbers can we

lht boards of SCLC and
PUSH have decided to meet
within the next three weeks to
determine their action strate
gies, tactics and timetable.
Rev. Jackson Indicated that
he and Rev. Lowery had had
some discussion about the
possibility of marching 5,000
people in 30 cities on August 28
of this yeer, the 16th anniver
sary of the famous “1963
March on Washington",

Rev. Jackson had suggested
a week earlier, in a speech
entitled “A Call To Action”
that there should be local
marches on August 28 of this
year; marches in key primary

primary elections in that
state; and a massive march

While paying off this mort
gage many accomplishments
were going on, among them,
$500,000 in renovations to the
church property. They pur
chased two new vans, a nfcw 1
organ, $5,000 in new choir
robes, two lots for parking and
over 400 new members were !
added to the church.
In an effort to show their
appreciation for the fine lea
dership of Rev. Kerry, a large
plaque commending him for
his labors of love was present
ed to him.
Rev. Kerry stated after the
burning of the mortgage that
the very fact that the Lord has
led them to this point does not
mean that they are to be at
ease, for there are many
things to be done.
They plan to pave their
other parking lots, put in new
sidewalks, and covered walk
ways as well. Also they would
like to thank their members
and friends who have support
ed them in helping to make
Sunday a great day in the life
of their church.
CPCC’s Enrollment Lists More Than 24.000 Students
When Charlotte's impres
sive new Central High School
opened in the early 1920’s,
probably no one dreamed that
half a century later it would be
one of the main structures of
one of the largest colleges in
North Carolina.
Yet, there it is in a rapidly
changing section of Char
lotte’s central city, the origi
nal building and technical
heart of Central Piedmont
Community College, a two
year college with an enroll
ment of more than 24,000
students.
CPCC, as the school is fami
liarly known, has long since
grown out of the old high
school building. The campus
fans out over a 33-acre site and
the 20 structures include
modern classrooms, parking
decks, laboratories, adminis
trative buildings and an audi
torium. They are equipped
with the latest electronic aids
so that students may learn
from listening to tapes, watch
ing video cassettes and color
slides, as well as from conven
tional classroom instruction.
There are no dormitories.
Many students spend only a
few hours a day on campus.
Some never come to the cam
pus at all, attending classes at
more than 200 various satellite
locations throughout the city.
A lot of students have jobs and
go to school in off hours. Some
are enrolled in televised
courses and learn in the com
fort and privacy of their
homes.
“You don’t see great num
bers of students on the
campus,” says Dr. N. Gayle
Simmons, executive vice pre
sident. “Our students come in
for classes, do their work and
then leave.”..
There’s nothing unusual
about community colleges in
the United States. In fact,
they are as American as hot
dogs and apple pie, and are
found in communities of a few
thousand persons to cities with
populations in the millions
The thing that makes CPCC
different is that it offers such a
variety of educational oppor
tunities and satisfies a great
need in the Charlotte i|
community.
A person wishing to become
an auto mechanic, for e
example, can learn his voca- ,
tion there. Electronics, civil
engineering, and architects 1
ral courses are also taught.
‘‘Sixty-five percent of our "
classes provide training for *
immediate employment," i,
says college president, *
Richard H. Hagemeyer. c
“Included are courses cover- c
ing two academic years (18
months). In such areas we
award a degree of associate in
applied science.”
Two-year courses include
nursing, dental hygiene,
accounting, architectural
technology, real estate, sales
and marketing, data process
ing, civil engineering techno
logy, commercial art, electri
cal and electronics engineer
ing technology and numerous
others.
i ne couege oners me latest
methods of instruction. A
young woman studying nurs
ing may study by herself in the
school’s Learning Resources
Center. Upon arrival, she
goes to the main desk and asks
for the lesson materials she is
to receive. The clerk on duty
provides the printed
materials, audio tapes and-or
videotapes. The student then
goes to an individual booth
containing the equipment
needed for the various learn
ing materials spending as
much time as necessary to
learn the subject. Personal
headphones are used so
instructions do not interfere
with other students.
CPCC’s dental programs I
are considered outstanding,
and graduates can be found in
almost every dental office in
this area.
Dental Hygiene students,
among many other things,
learn to clean teeth. Patients
can come to the college clinic,
and for a minimal charge
have teeth cleaned. Area
dentists often practice on
patients in the college clinic so
that dental assistant students
may learn procedures.
CPCC responds to the needs
s instructional programs. In
ie past few years, Charlotte’s
otels and restaurants discov
red there was no training
icilities for workers in these
elds. At their request, CPCC
■ganized its hotel manage
lent and food service pro
rams. A special building
icluding a large modern
itchen was erected where
>urses for these programs
>uld be taught.
In setting up its program
and goals, CPCC has not for
gotten the retired and the
elderly. Thanks to the North
Carolina General Assembly,
any person 65 years or over
may enroll in classes at no
charge. People with spare
time can be seen studying art,
painting, piano, car and home
maintenance. A well-known
Charlotte attorney recently
took a course in bricklaying so
he could complete several
projects in his home!
Dr. Hagemeyer says that II •
percent of CPCC’s classes
provide the first two years of
pre-professional and liberal
arts education. Students com
pleting these programs trans
fer the credits to a four-year
college or university and
enroll as juniors.
CPCC, accredited by the
Southern Association of Col
leges and Schools, is part of
the North Carolina System of
Community Colleges and
Technical Institutes.
