Roger Edward Palmer, a second

achievements have earned him
membership in Phi Theta Kappa,
honorary junior college scholastic
fraternity.
A graduate of West Mecklenburg

of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Palmer of
the Steele Creek community. While
at West, Palmer was co-captain of
the baseball and basketball teams,

GROUP TO FORM
WUS CHAPTER
A group of interested students
met in the Student Lounge on Feb
ruary 19 to form the nucleus
around which a Charlotte College
chapter of the World University
Service could be set up.
Morgan Thomas, on leave of ab
sence from studies at Harvard’s
Divinity School, explained the ideas
of WUS to the group. The students,
representatives of various CC or
ganizations, were to report their
findings to their individual groups.
The groups were to next select
delegates to a founding commit
tee.
WUS is an international student
service organization with chapters
in forty-one nations and interna
tional offices in Geneva, Switzer
land. A program of mutual assist
ance and education is the founda
tion of the movement. It works
entirely within the world college
community, and the basic budget
is dependent upon the support of
this community.

Roy A. Taylor, Asheville attor
ney and legislator, is the general
spokesman of the group. However,
each school presented its own par
ticular problems and needs through
its own spokesmen as the squad
of legislative trouble-shooters ap
pealed for a liberalization of state
grants-in-aid and local college ap
propriations.
The mission of the trip to Ral
eigh is multifold. Among the
things the conferences are seeking
is to make the 1957 Appropriation
Act agree with the General Com
munity College Act. The objective
has been to spell out that the state
will match funds spent for all types
of college capital layout, not just
for classroom construction.
The representatives are also
making a bid for $575,000 in state
funds to match funds already
raised by the local schools and
never matched by the state in
1957 appropriations.
Governor Hodges, the Board of
Higher Education, and the Budget
Commission have recommended $1,-
500,000 for the three colleges for
the next biennium. Under present
rules, no school is to receive more
than 40% of this total. Under the
General Community College Act
any part of this allocated to any
one of these colleges would have to
be matched by that particular
school.
(HARLOTTE MEETING
The representative group was
formed at a meeting held in Char
lotte on February 25. At this con
ference the college authorities from
the three colleges laid the neces
sary groundwork for the drive to
clairfy existing legislation on com
munity colleges.
