Following the film presentation
the group had its own model U.N.
meeting which it discussed and
took action on a resolution to es
tablish a U.N. Space Commission
which would oversee and control
space exploration.
The Russian delegate vociferous
ly objected to such a commission,
because the Russian government,
“having spent some three billion
rubles on space exploration,” be
lieved itself too far advanced in the
field to be able to safely turn over
“America,” “Once to Every Man
and Nation,” “Prayer of Thanks
giving,” “The Star Spangled Ban
ner,” “Children of the Heavenly
Father,” Psalm 150, and the Char
lotte College Alma Mater.
The main theme of the program
was Thanksgiving, not only be
cause of the season, but also be-
to such a group information which
could be used by inimical nations
to effect her own destruction. The
mock assembly, however, passed the
resolution.

Assembly, and plans are being
made to visit with the Russian and
Japanese delegations.

Board Meets
To Discuss
Future Plans
Oliver Rowe, chairman of
the finance committee of the
Board of Trustees of the
('harlotte Community College
System, told the faculty of
(’harlotte College at a .joint
meeting Friday, November 7,
that the faculty can help
speed up the work on new col
lege buildings by getting their
plans completed at once.
Mr. Rowe made no promises as
to just when the new buildings can
be started, but he did say that the
sooner the department heads made
known their needs the sooner the
plans could be put in the hands
of an architect.
He expressed the hope that at
least one new building could be
leady for use for the session of
1959-()0, but, if not then, at least
foi- the session of 1960-61.
He had just heard the depart
ment heads outline their needs in
the way of classrooms, lecture
rooms, laboratories, storage space,
and library. Before this was done,
however, several members of the
faculty explained the scope and
purposes of Charlotte College, so
that the trustees could have some
idea of what the college is doing
now and what it hopes to do in
the future.
Miss Mary Denny explained the
general purposes of the college as
being to prepare the student for
further academic or professional
work, for employment or for per
sonal growth through education.
She mentioned scholarships for
needy students and the general
services of the college to the com

Mr. Mark Tinkham explained the
university parallel curriculum and
how the student is helped to choose
his courses so that, when he trans-

CCU.N. Views Film, Holds
Mock U.N. Meeting In Lounge
BY BOB ROBERTSON
Collegian News Editor
The Charlotte College C.C.U.N met in the student lounge at 8 P.M.,
on the evening of November 13.
The meeting featured a film on the United Nations. The film pointed
up the role of the U.N. in averting or ending wars through peaceful
negotiation and mediation. It pointed out too, that the U.N. is not a
lo4)uacious but otherwise helpless assembly, but is a world organization
capable of speedy and unified military action as was witnessed in Korea.
