M This year UNCC has seen many novelties-resi- dence halls (equipped with real live resident stu- dents!), social fraternities and sororities, and new buildings springing up one al ' tcr another all exempli- fying the development of a um ersity. It is for tliis reason that the theme for the 1970 Rogues n Rascals is GROWTH, in accordance with what we feel is the theme of the history of UNCC. In 1959. a site was selected for Charlotte College which had been established in 1949. The site was eight miles from downtown Charlotte and consisted of a lot of land, a lot of trees, and one building-a barn I In 1 9(1 1 , the college moved to the new site and mto the first two buildings which were the present Language Building and the Ken- nedy Building. •-ri. .

1963 saw the establishment of Charlotte College as a four-year. State supported institution. Then, on July 1, 1965, Charlotte College attained university status when it became the Universit of North Caro- lina at Charlotte. UNCC attained tangible university status this year with the vast construction of new buildings, the addition of graduate studies, and especially dorm students-after which UNCC will never be the same! Toda . there is no mistaking UNCC for Charlotte College, but the years of Charlotte College will not be forgotten, as the were the childhood years of a Uni- versity.
