UNCC boasts
growth Oct, 9
by peggy Caldwell
We are growing-as wide as the vast one
thousand acres where two hundred
seventy-one adininistrators of knowledge
strive daily to help broaden our four
thousand anemic minds; as tall as that
illustrious tower of tunes that forever
watches over us and, once in a while, tells
us the time; as quickly as the pea patch
that almost conquered the residence halls.
Superintendent of Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Schools, will pay tribute to Dr. Elmer
Garinger, a former school superintendent
who was closely associated with the
development of Charlotte College.
The transformation of our institution
from “Charlotte High School” to a
booming University City is occurring
before our eyes. We are very much aware
of this development, we are growing with
our school-and We are proud of it.
Mr. Charles Crutchfield, First
Vice-President of the Charlotte Chamber
of Commerce, will pay tribute to Mr.
George Broadrick, a former highway
commissioner. Many road improvements
were made around UNCC during
Broadrick’s administration.
First on the program for the day is a
luncheon for the “Friends of the
University,” an organization of people
who support the library and other
University projects.

September 19, when his car veered off
the road and struck a utility pole.

Art instructor, Mr. R. Eric Anderson,
said that Marlin, a fine student, had been
very involved in his art and in the art
department. In its second year of
existence, the Art Society, owes much of
its establishment to McCasland, who
pioneered it.

memorial service on Sept. 23 in which
Steve Hummer, a UNCC student presided.
Other participants in the presentation
were Cindy Blair, Loy H. Witherspoon,
associate professor of religion; R. Eric
