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

. ■iHii Mitfl i HH ' P n Mi, to pursue their college education at a senior college located in another town. These people want an education and are willing to make great sacrificies in order to get it. Under the present system, that is a two-year school, they cannot finish the work that they have started. It is useless to question the need of the erection of a four-year school because the large enrollment of the present two-year system is proof enough of the success of such an institution. There are approxi- mately four hundred students attending these after- noon and night classes. Because of the lack of funds and space, nnany courses which are requested cannot be offered. In a time of confusion such as exists today the world realizes that education is the keynote to better relations. There was a time in the history of man- kind when one country could exist in a comparative state of isolation, but this situation does not exist today. The world has been brought so close together that its inhabitants will have to get along or else they will eventually be annihilated. International understanding can be accomplished only through education .
