CHARLOTTE--The
University of North Carolina at
Charlotte will operate under a
revised academic calendar that
Will allow students to finish the
fall semester and complete their
examinations prior to the
Christmas holiday period
beginning with the fall of 1971.
The new calendar as released by
Chancellor D.W. Colvard, provides
for the fall semester to begin
during the last week of August,
with the term ending December
21. The revised schedule will
include a long weekend in
October and a four-day
Thanksgiving holiday vacation.
Under the new calendar, the
Christmas vacation period will last
from December 21 through
January 10, with the spring
^mester of 1972 running from
January II through
commencement scheduled for
May 21.
The 1972 summer term will
begin its first session June 4,
running through July 12, and the
second summer term will run
from July 13 through August 17.
Dr. Wm. Hugh McEniry, vice
chancellor for academic affairs,
noted that the summer sessions
had been planned to
accommodate the schedules of the
many public school teachers who
attend the UNCC summer sessions
for certification purposes.
The suggestion for the revised
academic calendar at the
University originated with student
leaders. Working with Dr. Bonnie
E. Cone, vice chancellor for
student affairs and communtiy
relations, the students presented
the idea to Dr. Colvard, who
appointed a joint student-faculty
committee to study the feasibility
of implementing a new calendar
and to make recommendations.
After the committee, headed
by Dr. Walter E. Norem, associate
professor of engineering, had
determined that a concensus for
the revised calendar existed, the
recommendation was made to Dr.
Colvard, who presented it to the
executive staff, executive
committee of the faculty, student
legislature, and finally through the
division chairmen to each member
of the faculty. The calendar was
then submitted to the general
administration of the University
of North Carolina,
boyfriend Robert. She was the
1970 recipient of the Student
Union Award.

An experimental course in
nursing at the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte may
eventually provide relief for
overburdened doctors.
Sixteen nurses, 12 of them
public health nurses and four
serving in pediatricians’ offices,
are taking the course one day a
week for 12 weeks.
The nurses are learning to
screen healthy children by taking
medical histories and counseling
parents. This will allow the
doctors to spend more time with
the very sick patient.
UNCC received a $3,150 grant
from the North Carolina State
Board of Health to begin the
pre-pilot program. If successful
the program will be extended into
a full pilot program.
Mrs. Edith Brocker, chairman
of the Division of Nursing at
UNCC is director of the project,
and Mrs. Vera Smith of UNCC is
coordinator.
These are the sparkling nuggets
that will emerge from Goldmine
no.49 to seek the title of Miss
49er 1971. Be in the Parquet
Room for the costume, evening
gown, and swimsuit'competition
on November 18th; for the talent
competition, on November 19th;
and for the coronation on
November 20th. See you there for
