CCUNC PAP[R DRIVE NEHS [ND
FUTURE SEEN WITH U IN-BETWEEN
BY KATE BECHTLER
Swinging into the Summer at the same fast tempo set
during the 1947-48 Season now ending, CCUNC continues to
“Latch On to The Affirmative, Eliminate the Negative,
Have No Time for Mr. In-Between.”
PROCEEDS GO TO BASEBALL TEAM
With a May 31 deadline to meet, Bill Correll and George
Stockbridge, chairmen of the CCUNC paper drive, pushed
their campaign forward in hopes of exceeding a goal of
80,000 pounds of wastepaper collected.
The Charlotte College Center of
1947 heard many complaints about
“What you don’t have—Today,
CC’s students and faculty can
counter with “What don’t we
have!” Better than that, they can
illustrate—and do.
The Sophomore program com
pleted this year would be a source
of pride to any junior college in
the land. It would be difficult to
find a more comprehensive range
of courses than that just covered
by classes in International Politics;
Introduction to Philosophy; and
Survey of Social Problems. No one
could have presented such vital
subject matter in a more effective
manner than did the instructors'
of these respective courses.
Just around the corner, the fal'
quarter Summer Session will not
suffer from comparison with th(
term now ending. Plans for the
Summer School are receiving th?
care befitting such a momentous
occasion as the first Summei
School at CCUNC, and carefu)
consideration is being given to the
historical value of every gesturf
that goes into the make-up of the
curriculum. As the News goes to
press this bright May day, every
body knows that in September.
1948, the gates of the College
Center will swing wide in welcome
The moving finger continues to
point, and it is with permissable
pride that attention is directed to
the “Campus Cutups of 1948”—
that prolific production of pranks
proved beyond a doubt the old saw
about variety, and what it is. This
show, begun under the able leader
ship of an experienced producer,
underwent many setbacks, the
major one being the loss of a
director less than two weeks
before the premiere. Actors some
how refuse to be stymied, how
ever, and it is hard to believe that
the show could possibly have been
a greater success than it was.
Inspired anew with the coming
of Spring, CC’s Choral Club carols
merrily along, and the Dramatic
Group is returning to its workshop
to build on the solid groundwork
laid last Fall.
Spring Football practice has
been successfully completed, and
the Owls, who a year ago did not
have a full time director, are ready
and waiting to carry the pigskin
through a victorious 1948 season
for CC.
APPRECIATION
The CCUNC News wishes to
thank Buddy Drummond and
Jonsie Pyron for the help which
they have given this paper’s
advertising department.
The College Center baseball
team has turned in a fine record,
and it looks forward to a good
showing as the summer days
pile up.
1948, we love you.
CHORAL GROUP
GATHERS ON
TUES.,THURS.
The College Center Chorus,
under the direction of Mr. John
Holliday, meets each Tuesday and
Thursday evening at 8:30 P. M. in
the Teacher’s Dining Room, which
is located on the first floor of the
Central High School building.
David Littlejohn, popular be-
tween-class soloist commented on
the versatility of the CC choral
group. Because of sporatic at
tendance, the ensemble may be a
trio, quartet, or, on rare occasions,
a Quintet. Sometimes there is just
a chummy duet. Littlejohn states
that such weak attendance is sad
indeed, as the student body exceeds
250.
Students wishing to try out lor
the College Center Chorus are
reminded that no previous experi
ence or knowledge of music is
necessary.
Present members of the chorus
are Dick Boward, Carl Vipperman,
David Rae, Bob Wylie, Loyd
Overcash, and David Littlejohn.
The last two song fests of the
spring Quarter will take place on
Tuesday and Thursday of next
week. Those eager to lend voice
to folk-songs, spirituals, and
ballads are asked to participate in
these closing sessions.
It is hoped that the College
Center choral work will continue
throughout the Summer Quarter.

SCHOOL PLANS
OUTINGS FOR
WARM DAYS
“There will be no curtailment in
the school’s program or activities
during the Summer Quarter,” Miss
Bonnie E. Cone, CCUNC Director
said today. Miss Cone saw no
reason why the Summer Session
should not be as successful as any
the College Center has had.
Courses covering the full eleven
weeks period, will not be con
densed or speeded up.
Program planners for the coming
quarter are looking forward to a
number of Summer outings. It is
pointed out that several students
have places on the river that
would be ideal for picnics and
swimming parties.
An expression of longing rap
ture filled Miss Cone’s eyes when
she expressed the hope that
students would be interested in
Watermelon slicings. The College
Center Director is partial to
watermelon.
EDUCATOR
PAYS CCUNC
SHORT VISIT
Dr. Jesse P. Bogue of Washing
ton, executive secretary of the
American Association of Junior
Colleges, visited Charlotte on May
6 to discuss the possibility of
establishing CCUNC as a perma
nent junior college. After speaking
to the Kiwanis Club at its weekly
luncheon meeting about the col
lege, Dr. Bogue met with the Ad
visory Committee and Miss Cone.
Some members of the School
Board, the County Commissioners,
officials of the University of North
Carolina, and other persons inter
ested in the College Center met
with the group.
Dr. Bogue, speaking to the
Kiwanians, said that since 1902
when the first junior college was
established in Juliette, 111., the
movement has spread rapidly. To
day there are 652 junior colleges
operating in America. According
to Dr. Bogue there were 455,000
students enrolled in junior colleges
last year. The 1946 enrollment has
nearly doubled because of the de
mand for a college education from
returning veterans.
Dr. Bogue gave four reasons for
the great increase of junior col
leges :
1. A demand for increased
education at all levels. (In
1900 there were 1,000,000
students in high schools; and
in 1947, there were 7,000,000.
2. An increase in the age at
which persons start work.
3. An increase in the leisure
time of the public.
4. An increase in technol-
logical development.
In talking with several of the
students of the College Center, Dr.
INSTRUCTORS
RETURN FOR
SUMMER TERM
The College Center Office re
vealed last May 22 that a number
of Spring Quarter instructmors
would probably be back for the
summer term. Teachers most likely
to return are: Rosannah G. Blair
and Jane Hinson, Librarians;
Mary Denny, English; Frank Eller
and Lucille Puette, Chemistry;
Albert D. Harmon, engineering,
Drawing; Maribelle Hines and
Frank Harwood, Economics and
Commerce 51 and 71; Dr. Roy E.
Hoke, Psychology-Sociology; Fran
ces B. Hoyle, Spanish; Eleanor
Jenkins, Myrtis J. Mackey, and
Flora Mae Watson, Mathematics;
Mark F. Tinkham, Physics; Edyth
F. Winningham, Political Science—
French.
Miss Bonnie E. Cone stated that
several teaching positions remain
to be filled; however, the size of
summer faculty will be contingent
upon the number of students en
rolled for that period.
ENROLLMENT
MAY REACH
200 MARK
An enrollment of at least 200
students for the CCUNC Summer
Session was seen as a probability
by College Center Officials today.
By May 22, 188 preliminary appli
cations were on file in the
Director’s Office.
In passing a minimum enroll
ment of 150 as stipulated by
Charles E. McIntosh, Assistant
Director in Charge of North
Carolina College Centers, the
Summer’s potential student body
approached the proportion of those
enjoyed by the College Center
during previous quarters. The
College Center’s first quarter—
Fall of 1946—had an enrollment
of 278; Winter Quarter 1947, 287;
Spring Quarter 1947, 255; Fall
Quarter 1947, 304; Winter Quarter
1948, 286; and Spring Quarter
1948, 260.
For the past two months, appli
cations have poured into the CC
Office from former students of
Chapel Hill, Wheaton, Citadel,
State College, Davidson, Belmont
Abbey, Mars Hill, Queens, Pheiffer,
and The University of the South.
Many students from Central High
School and outlying schools in
Mecklenburg County are expected
to enter the Center this summer.
Bogue expressed his pleasure at the
work being done in Charlotte, and
said that he saw no reason why
Charlotte should not adopt the
Center as a permanent junior
college.
Bill Mills, student veteran,
helped the drive to start at a fast
pace by making a personal con
tribution of 1000 pounds of paper.
Several other students and friends
of the College Center have made
large donations. One man notified
Miss Bonnie E. Cone, CC Director,
that he had a garage jammed full
of wastepaper, and was awaiting
the arrival of CCUNC collecting
trucks.
English teacher Mary Denny,
enthusiastic supporter of the pro
ject, confides that CC students
have been indirectly responsible
for the contribution she will make.
Miss Denny, too busy reading
themes to give much attention to
other activities, will round up a
large stack of magazines, which
she has not had time to read. Miss
Cone, immediately tagged for a
special collection of 150 pounds of
defunct office memos and red tape,
has already started to clean house.
The Paper Drive Committee
hopes to boom collections by ask
ing the city’s leading department
stores to give all of their waste
paper for one day to the school.
Such individual sources are ex
pected to play an important part in
helping the school to amass a
tremendous quantity of paper.
Each student is requested to
bring in 50 pounds of paper, and
each instructor is looked to for 100
pounds. This issue of The CCUNC
News is also seen potential
reservoir.
Proceeds obtained through the
drive should reach $500 if 80,000
pounds of paper is collected. The
greater part of this fund will be
given to the CCUNC baseball
team. Henceforth, the players have
been paying their own travel
expenses when keeping out-of-
town dates. The rest of the profits
will be used to promote other
school activity.
FINAL EXAMS
WILL BEGIN
ON JUNE 1
Final examinations will begin on
June 1 and run through June 4,
the College Center Office dis
closes.
Examinations for the four
o’clock classes will take place on
June 1, 4 to 6 P. M.; five o’clock
classes, on June 2, 5 to 7 P. M.;
six o’clock classes, on June 3, 6
to 8 P. M.; and seven o’clock
classes, on June 4, 7 to 9 P. M.
The Office will make an effort
to have final grades completed on
June 7 or 8.
Miss Cone has asked that
students not telephone the office
in order to learn their grades,
because such interruption may
slow down the mailing of grades.
