College Center Students Faring Well Grades Are on Par With Average Here The approximately 1,000 students enrolled in the 12 North Carolina Col lege centers throughout the State are averaging practically the same grades as students in the University at Cha pel Hill and State College in Raleigh on the same subjects, C. E., Mcintosh, assistant director in charge of the centers, said recently. The courses, including English, so cial science, mathematics, botany, chemistry, physics, French and Span ish, cover the same amount of ma terial as do these courses being given at the University and at State, . and the teachers, according to Mcintosh, are for the most part as highly quali fied as many University instructors. Only Slightly Behind The grades the College center stu dents received this fall and winter, he said, were just slightly behind those of University students in all sub jects.. One hundred teachers compose the staffs at the 12 centers which are Albemarle, Burlington, Burnsville, All Credits Earned Can Be Transferred Charlotte, Fayetteville, . Gastonia, Goldsboro, Greensboro, Henderson ville, Murphy, Rocky Mount, and Wil mington. AH have enrollments f 30 or more. Charlotte and Wilmington have the largest registrations with 278 and 212 respectively. By vote of the North Carolina Col lege Conference aU credits earned in a college center are transferable to a coUege or university within this state. Primary in importance was the unanimous passage of an amendment which would shift the spring elec tions from the first Tuesday in May to the first Tuesday in April, and ad vance the date of the December elec- j tions by one week. Although the voting was unani mous, it was in the discussion of this bill that Speaker Charlie Warren and Parliamentarian Jimmy Wallace car ried on a two-way verbal shooting match. Wallace rose on the point as to when the amendments would be re ferred to the student body. Warren called Wallace out of order. Wallace replied, "I am not." Said Warren, raising his voice, "Mr. Wallace, you are out of trrder, sit down!" Wallace declared that his remarks were pertinent to the floor. Then the Speaker looked straight at Wallace and said, "I wish you would sit down," and went on to further discussion. But Wallace refused to be pushed aside, and shouted, "As parliamen- -tarian of this assembly, Mr. Speaker, I declare you out of order." Then Wallace took a seat. It was unanimously approved that the amendments be put before the stu dent body in the general elections this spring. The amendment to put two faculty members on the Student Audit board met with expected opposition. Johnny Clampitt, chairman of the finance com mittee, rigorously opposed the mea sure. Finally, the change was amend ed so that the faculty representa tives would have no vote as to the board's policy, only to act as advisory members. Debate waxed long over the amend ment to do away with the House Pri vileges board, but the assembly unan imously accepted the change. Chief opposition to the bill was concerned with just who did have the power to check on the fraternity-coed visiting agreement. Speaker Warren announced that there will be a meeting of the legis lature this evening at 7:30 o'clock in Gerrard hall. This session has been called to discuss several bills which have been hanging fire to the consti tution debate.
