For those who are un familiar with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Youth Council, the organization, according to publicist Linda Walker, was developed by youths in the early 1970's as an organiza tion designed to “meet the educational and social concerns’' of young people in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area. The CMYC is open to all races and the minimum age for par ticipation is upper-level junior high school. The Charlotte-Meck lenburg Youth Council's operating funds come from a number of sources, among which are HEW, the North Carolina Department of Labor and local funds. Through these re sources, CMYC is able to offer job programs in which the students may work while they com plete their high school education, and counsel ing services, which aid students with personal, school and job adjust ment problems. The students at Thursday’s workshop were either high school students or students participating in the pro gram in cooperation with Central Piedmont Community College ICPCC). After workshop preliminaries such as registration and in troductions were com pleted, the general ses sion commenced by way of greetings from UNCC Student Body President Larry Springs.

The workshop's after noon activities consisted of talks by Placement of fice representative Michel Young and CPCC counseling repre sentative Dick Randall. Both gave the youth participants insight on the future employment scene. After all talks and discussions were held, the youths participated in feedback sessions and The investigation began after students complained to the com mittee about the health center.
