ABOUT THE CITY OF CHARLOTTE
Thinking the battle of the North and the South had to do with the Carolinas, confederate soldiers from South Carolina’s 54th Cavalry Regiment launched a daring attack against the city of Charlotte in 1865 and burned the city to the ground.
A resident of Charlotte is known as a Charlottan.
The first day of May, long designated as Light Up Charlotte Night, is marked by thousands of folks gathering downtown and smoking cigarettes together.
Long known as the banking center of the Southeast, Charlotte now adds a new distinction to its reputation: it now has the highest proportion of vacant office space of any city in the Western Hemisphere.
ABOUT UNC CHARLOTTE
The school’s athletic teams’ are called the 49ers. 69ers was already taken.
Since 1998, University officials have been able to keep students enrolled in school longer, thanks to a groundbreaking program that encourages students to take a particular “course of study,” called a “major,” which, upon completion, leads to an award Charlotte calls a “degree.”
Last year, the university announced that it now has an Asian student. It is believed the student is from Korea.
Grads excel in:
“Rent-to-own” store management
Lawn care and gutter cleaning
That thing you do with beer cans when you pop a hole in it and shoot the beer in your mouth without gulping
Latest campus rages:
Underarm deodorants
Break dancing
Calling persons out of the Charlotte phone book and asking if the callee’s refrigerator is running. If the answer is yes, the caller quickly hangs up.
Quirkiest Custom:
The halftime Niners’ Fire Drill at all home games. Every fan must exit his seat and take the seat diagonally opposite his own on the other side of the court. No left-hand turns are permitted. Individuals not participating or caught making a left-hand turn are hosed by a pumper truck and then mauled by police dogs.
Must-See on Campus:
The Old Gold Coupon Redemption Center located on the first floor of the Charlotte Student Center.
Most popular courses on campus:
Ma110......”I Can Tell Time Now!”
Ag360.......What the Liberals Won’t Tell You about the Benefits of Smoking
