Miss Cone, a former high school math teacher, has been with Charlotte College since the school held its meetings at night in the old Central High School building in Mecklenburg County. Charlotte began in J 146. as an eastern center of the University of North Carolina, organized to accommodate the flood of GI's returning to school from .World War II. "The college was started to meet an emergency," said Miss Cone. . "Now it's a new era.. We are preparing to take care of the children of those GI's." Rapid Expansion The clear grey eyes of Miss Cone have seen a lot of growth take place on the 1,000-acre campus in North Mecklenburg. The school has since 1961 doubl ed its faculty, its " enrollment," its curriculum and its facilities. One example of this growth is the new 130,000-volume li brary which recently opened to replace the small 2,000-book li brary that Charlotte maintain ed for so many years. The president has inspired the help of a hard-working staff to assist her. "The attitude of our faculty and the students has always been one of com plete cooperation," she said. Standing Ovation When the announcement was made on Nov. 18, last year that the Consolidated Univer sity trustees had approved the admittance of Charlotte Col lege, Miss Cone received a standing ovation by the college student legislature. "We wanted to let Dr. Cone know that we were 100 per cent behind her and her efforts in behalf of the college," said John Scott, president of the student body. "We've all been aware of the possibility that it would happen for some time now," Scott said at that time. "Dr. Cone deserves a lot of credit for the work she has done."

The bell pealed at about 2:20 p.m. to let the students and the community know that the long struggle to have Charlotte College admitted as the fourth campus of the Consolidated University had finally ended in success. The 250 students attending classes at the time gathered noisily in the auditorium of Char lotte's recently-completed science library building to celebrate. As students waited for Miss Cone to return from Raleigh where she has been campaigning among leg islators for approval of the mea sure, they sang and cheered and prepared a welcoming party. Judy Morgan, president of the first senior class to attend the college since it acquired senior status last year, spoke to the student body. After comments by Gus Tsmo dakis, vice-president of the stu dent body, the dean of the facul ty and the dean of student af fairs, the students retired to the college student union for coffee and cakes. Miss Cone who who arrived by car from Raleigh at. about 6:30 was welcomed by a crowd of en thusiastic students damp from the rain but waving their home made welcoming ; banners.

Vote RALEIGH (AP) Charlotte College completed its four-year struggle to become the fourth branch of the Consolidated University Tuesday when the proposal was approved by the House. It will be called the Univer sity of North Carolina at Charlotte. Mecklenburg legislators hailed it as a great victory and a landmark in history. "It has been an uphill fight all the way," said Sen. Martha Evans of Charlotte. "We have never reached a rung without a struggle. There has never been any thing given to us." The bill, making Charlotte College a part of the greater Uni versity, passed the House with but one no vote after two amend ments were defeated. It cleared the Senate last week. The amendments, offered by Reps. A. A. Zollicoffer of Vance and George Uzzell of Rowan, would have postponed until July 1, 1967, the date on which the school would enter the university system. Uzzell's amendment would have left to the University board of trustees the date when the school became a campus of the univer versity. Uzzell was concerned about the school joining the Uni . versity before it is accredited by the Southern Association of Col leges and Secondary Schools. The accreditation is expected by July 1967 Uzzell questioned whether it wouldn't degrade the university in the eyes of the world, if the Charlotte campus gives a university diploma before it actually is accredited. Uzzell took note of behind the scenes maneuvering over the weekend by supporters of the bill and said: "If AT&T stock goes up on the stock market, it is because of all the long distance calls made during the weekend over this bill." Sen. Evans said the Mecklenburg delegation had done "a lot of work" drumming up support for the bill and opposition to the amendments. She said "thousands of people worked to make this come true." The debate centered on the two amendments. Rep. Uzzell said under his amendment the board could make the school, a branch "on any date prior to July 1, 1067 -if all the requirements are met." Rep. C. E. Leatherman of Lincoln said, "I feel very strongly . . . this is like a baby ... we are under an obligation to begin crawl ing before we can walk." He said Uzzell's amendment would cripple the school. "If we did delay the bill, it would in effect be trying to put off until to morrow what we can do today." Rep. I. C. Crawford of Buncombe said, "we are not estab lishing a university. We already have one." Rep. Paul Story of McDowell raised the question of adequate appropriations, a matter which delayed the bill in the Senate and the House last week. Story said he wants "the campus to be one of excellence and not a halfway school." "Let's give the trustees two years to get the school on a sound . financial basis," he said. Efforts to make Charlotte College a branch of the university date back to 1961. The move had to be approved by the UNC trustees, the State Board of Higher Education and the General Assembly. Student headers To Visit A delegation of student leaders from the University's newest branch will visit Chapel Hill and Raleigh this weekend as the first step toward a formal link between them and students at the other three schools. Hugh Stevens, president of the Consolidated Student Council, said yesterday that three men and two women representing the University of North Carolina at Charlotte would sit in on Saturday's CSC meeting, and that a constitutional amendment to bring the new branch into the council would be considered. "We don't expect this change to take effect immediately," Stevens said, "but by next year Charlotte should be a full-fledged voting member of the CSC." The body will meet in the Erdahl-Cloyd Union on the N. C. State campus at 2 p.m. Saturday. The Charlotte delegation will arrive in Chapel Hill Friday to meet with Bob Spearman and other Carolina student leaders. They will be the guests of the N. C. State Student Government Saturday morning. iff ; .
