THE IDEAS used in this year ' s Si Si were born in staff meetings like this one. SI SI IS DIFFfitE T THIS m CO-EDITORS Jo Mahalic and Scotty Stall- ings were the whip-hands behind this issue of Si Si. Jo kept the staff working day and night while Scotty handled layouts and darkroom work for the cameramen. As you have noticed, this year ' s issue of Si Si is different. The foremat has been changed from the traditional formal style to that of a picture magazine. This change in layout has allowed us to treat the activities here at Charlotte College from a more objective viewpoint, thereby giving you, the student, an outsider ' s impression of the college. This change in foremat has entailed much more work for the staff than ever before. All pictures, with the exception of the individual class protraits, had to be taken and processed by staff members and all copy had to be written in magazine style . As the deadline approached the load became too great for the regular staff and an S. O. S. was sent out for help to the Student Council and faculty members who pitched in and worked side-by-side until the job was finally completed. At times the pressure became so great that many serious thoughts were given to changing the name of the book to Blood, Sweat, and Tears. The sudden transfer of her husband made it impossible for Mrs. Grogan to be present for the last-min- ute editorial sessions. Amid the flashing bulbs of photographers taking their last shots. Si Si for 1951 finally reached the completed stage and the staff crawled back into their respective holes to wait for the printers to turn out the finished product which you nov hold. We hope you will find our efforts pleasing and, if you don ' t, you will have to admit that at least Si Si is different this year. J. Wm ' i ATOM ' S LIPRARY UNIVERSITY OF NOlUH LAKOLINA -.

C.C. IS MORE ]m JUST AIOTHER MM COLLEGE The students of Charlotte College have a unique school of which they can be truly proud. Several factors help to substantiate this claim. Charlotte College has given to many the opportun- ity of attending college which they might not have had. If it were not for these evening classes, the greater majority of students who work during the day would never be able to complete their education. In addition to various other advantages, the students are very fortunate in having a strong and talented faculty to guide them. The administrators and instructors are always ready and willing to help in every respect and to cooperate whole-heartedly in all of the student activities. Although night school has presented problems in reference to the social life at the college, a full scale social program has been carried out. Through- out the year there have been parties, dances, assem- blies, and last but not least basketball. The Key- men Fraternity, a strong organization that ' does things, ' adds a great deal to the social aspects of the school with their colorful initiations. The Regina Soroity has been comparatively inactive this past year because of the scarcity of females at C.C. C. C. ' s student government had a very busy year. The council devoted much of its time this past summer to writing a suitable constitution for the school. Its main purposes are to encourage initia- tive and to instill a sense of responsibility in the students. The Charlotte Collegian, the student newspaper, helps maintain a wholesome school spirit by keep- ing abreast of current events. The Adult Education program is an outstanding example of the varied services rendered by the college. Students of all ages enthusiastically attend the courses that are offered. These courses are primarily designed to enrich vocational competency and cultural development. The scope of this program ranges from Driver Education to Insurance and Wood- working. Another interesting phase of the Adult Education program is the class for foreign born persons now located in Charlotte. Instruction in the fundamentals of the English language is offered free of charge and is helping new citizens to understand and utilize the privileges of the American way of life. Although Charlotte College has existed as an independent school for only two years, and as a two-year college for five years, plans for making it a four-year school are already being considered. The progressive citizens of Charlotte seem to agree that a four-year school is just what Charlotte needs, for the proposed project has already received the general approval of the city council and the school board. The next big group that has to be persuaded is the state legislature before whonn the measure must be submitted. Now just why is it imperative that Charlotte push this measure for a four-year college in this vicinity ? 1. Charlotte is the largest and, in many respects, the leading city in the Carolinas. It is necessary that its citizens be educated. 2. There is a large group of people who have responsibilities such as families and who are unable
