by the 1047 General Assembly.

(An Editorial)
Speaking for the student body
THE CAROLINIAN wishes to make clear that the students are whole-heartedly
behind the administration in its request for enactment, by
the 1947 General Assembly, of the program designated us a "must" or
immediate program for Woman's College. This program, costing the
state of North Carolina $5,855,400, seems to us a bare necessity if the
Woman's College is to hold its place among the liest colleges for women
in the nation, and is best to serve the people of North Carolina.
It also does not seem unreasonable to us who live here that Woman's
College should be allowed (4,977,400 for future needs. On this campus
we have felt the need for better facilities for our social living. We
need a Student Union building. Library conditions are crowded even
with present enrollment. The Laundry building and Students' building
are a disgrace to the college. The department of music and home eco-nomics
must have increased facilities.
It does not seem fair to us that hundreds of North Carolina girls
should be turned away every year. The war did not bring to us any
building program. There has been no building of any kind on the
Woman's College campus since 1989.
We feel that unless the Permanent Improvements Program for the
Woman's College is approved by the 1947 General Assembly, the col-lege
cannot remain "second to none." With the good of the present
student body at heart and the good of future North Carolina girls in
mind, we ask for enactment of this program. In doing so we OOturider
not only the present or future student body of the Woman's College,
but the people of the state of North Carolina, because most Woman's
College students will take their places as workers and mothers in
this state.
10 stand still. It is u crucial time for
the college. There Is no such thing us
our mere standing still. We either go
forward or we will slip back. The
gneelim is whether or not the Wom-an's
College Is to be left behind in this
upsurge of educational advance In
the stale."
600 Graduates Yearly
Chancellor Jackson then summarized
the fact that the college sends out Into
the state each year approximately WMi
young women. BOB than 40(1 of them
n-gular college graduates, and the
others trained In the one-year com-mercial
course. Although Woman's
College Is not a teachers' college, the
largest single number of graduates do
teach. This college furnishes a larger
IIUIIIIMT of teeChsW to the state than
any other college in the state. It also
trains nurses, recreution workers, so-cial
workers, lalioratory technicians,
dietitians, and other iiupoii.int occu-liallonal
workers.
l-nst yenr there were 486 graduates.
Approximately 818 of them are now
working In North Carolina, and 130 are
working out of the state. Sixty-seven
of the members of this class were from
other stales. (If the 315 In North Caro-lina,
approximately 150 are teachers.
The other 1(15 are doing other work.
Immediate Needs
"Is the Woman's College to be
stopped, or are we to go ahead In the
same progression as State and Caro-lina'.'"
Chancellor Jackson asked.
W. mail's College Is asking for
g5.N,V),4oO for immediate minis.
Up—tint -INcili.ally of Immediate
needs. Chancellor Jackson cited the
laundry building which
when there were only
students here, the need for s Student
I'nion building to meet the require-ments
of the social activities of stu-dents,
the need for additional dorml
torles so that this college will not be
forced to turn away hundreds of stu-dents
every year, the necessity for
additional dining room facilities if en-rnllment
is increased, the condition of
the inflrmary, which was erected in
1012 when the student body was ap-proximately
tluO, and crowded library
conditions.
Home Economic Responsibility
He went on to state thst Woman's
College has a peculiar responsibility
and opportunity In the matter of home
economics. Lock of facilities sad
equipment keep the college from carry-ing
out the program that the stale is
entitled to.
He stressed the fact that the depart-ment
of physical education, with a na-tional
reputation, still does not have
adequate quarters, and that the de-partment
of music needs some enlarge-ment
of Its facilities. The small Ifosic
building was built many years ago. sad
has been outgrown.
Future Needs
For f«rsr« needs, the college Is ask-ing
for $.1,122,000. Included in this re-quest
are appropriations for two dor-mitories
comparable to Well and Win-fleld
In size, an additional dining hall
and kitchen space to provide accommo
datlon for the students occupying the
new resldi-nee halls, an addition to the
Science building, a classroom building,
a uon denominational chapel (The col-lege
already has approximately $35,000
for this), a nursery school In connec-tion
with the expanding home eco-nomics
program, two home manage-ment
houses—an efficiently planned
moderate cost house adapted to North
Carolina rural life, designed for 0
family of six to eight and a duplex
house, modern in nil respects, built on
two levels, each apartment to house
a family of four, set up for efficient
and economical living.
The need for renovation and im-provement
of Mclver building, which
was constructed in U08 and was par-tially
renovated a few years ago, «-om-plete
renovation of the Infirmary, con-version
of the present library lo ad-ministration
or Instructlunul use, and
the fact that Students building is pne-llcally
lieynnd use, were also brought
out by Chancellor Jackson.
