Parade Float, Nov. 26
“Freedom for Education” will be the theme for the
Charlotte College float in the Christmas parade this
Thursday in Charlotte.
The focal point of the float will be a giant lamp of
knowledge, which will sit on the top seat of the float.
The lamp, which will be over six feet long, will be made
of a wooden frame covered with gold foil. A flame will
burn from the spout of the lamp. The flame will be fed
by bottled gas from under the float.
The colors of the float will be
the school colors, light blue and
white. There will also be a class
room scene on the float.
The float and $100 of the
money necessary to decorate it
was donated by the Charlotte
Sates and Marketing Execu
tives Club. The Circle K Club
is donating its time to decorate
the float, and will also pay any
cost over the $100 gift.
The bed of the float was ob
tained from a firm in town
which specializes in making
similar floats for various par
ades in North and South Caro
lina. All the framework on the
float is completed and the club
has only to cover the frame with^

Jo€ Moore, the defeated Re
publican candidate for the
North Carolina House of Repre
sentatives, spoke to the Char
lotte College Chapter of Young
Republicans Club at one of the
club’s regular weekly meetings
hold in the College Union.
After a brief introduction
from the club's president Jerry
Williams, Mr. Moore began his
informal speech by presenting
embryonic plans to aid Repub
lican candidates in the coming
City Council elections in 1965.
When a.sked his opinion as to
why the Republicans lost so
heavily in the past election, Mr.
Moore stated, "There's no big
mystery why it happened. The
F.apubllcan Party failed to get
;ts true views across to th»
Araerleas people."

the lamp of knowledge. In addi
tion to this there will also be
several large books around the
float to emphasize the current
drive to obtain books for the
college library.
The parade is seen by about
50,000 people in person, and is
broadcast all over the state and
is expected to be good publicity
for the college.

Freshmen Elect
Archer and Jones
Sec., Treas.
Pat Archer and Lanier Jones
were elected freshman class
secretary and treasurer at a
class meeting Wednesday, Nov.
n.
Pat had been nominated fresh
man vice president but lost in a
runoff vote to Bill Hodges. Lan
ier was the campaign manager
of George Vaughan, who won
the Freshman presidency.
The major remaining step is
approval of the move by the
North Carolina Legislature and
the appropriation of adequate
funds to carry out the organiza
tion of a fourth campus.
President Friday has outlined
the steps to be followed in the
Legislature. First of all, he
says, it would be necessary that
adequate provision be made in
the appropriations bill of the
1965 General Assembly. In addi
tion it would be necessary to
prepare a bill providing for the
merger of Charlotte College
with the University of North
Carolina.
"If usual procedure is follow
ed," he said, "bills would be re
ferred to the committees on
Higher Education in the Senate
and in the House where public
hearings on the proposals would
be held. Following these hear
ings, there would be delibera
tions by the committees and
upon favorable committee ac
tion, bills would go on the cal
endar of each chamber of the
General Assembly to be debat
ed and voted upon by the mem
bership."
So this is the rather involved
sequence of events to take place
before Charlotte College as a
campus of the University is an
accomplished fact.
Still, spirits at Charlotte Col
lege have been running high
since the University trustee
meeting of Nov. 16.
Charlotte College has become
a center of attention. Inquiries
are pouring in about what sort
of place the campus is. Presi
dent Cone has received numer
ous messages of congratula
tions.
“Nov. 16 was," President
Cone said, “the brightest spot
so far in my years with Char
lotte College."
Not everything was bright
about Nov. 16, however.

Campus Dedicates Week To Shakespeare
By NINA CASTLES
Charlotte College campus was
the scene of "much ado" about
Shakespeare during the week of

commemoration of the famed
writer whom many of the stu
