Ln200reen St. ii le Stores udents of ask about Green our keg 171 catering sarkie Charles I After 12 yel accountant BY BETTY WOODRUFF Staff Writer Charles Brooks, a 31-year old Columbia businessman, will graduate from USC this semester after twelve years of night school study. Mr. Brooks, an accountant at Carolina Distributing Co., enrolled in night school in September, 1959. He took one to four classes each semester and attended summer school. "It took about nine years for me to go the equivalent of the first two years, and then I finished the last two years in about two and a half years," he explained. "Working a 55-hour week and going to night school at the same time did involve some sacrifices," Brooks said. He and his wife have two boys and a girl ranging in ages two to 11, and time he would liked to have spent with his family had to be spent studying. But Brooks stated, "I have to give all the credit to my wife. She stood behind me, made all the sacrifices, and kept on pushing me." Brooks said "I have never been The advertisement for Lum's' lestaurant in the Monday, Oct. 4 .dition of the Gamecock was in !orrect. Lum's will be closed on undays.

However, he did say that he worked harder because he didn't have one, and that he was once told not to tell the people working under him that he didn't have one because they might resent it. A strong advocate of being able to obtain a degree by examination, Mr. Brooks feels a four-year degree is a social requirement more than anything else. " hnd a liable position in a $25 million organization, and a great deal of what is being taught to me in ac counting courses is something that you pick up from practical ex perience." Brooks also feels that the University should make it easier for people like him-married and working at a full-time job-to become involved in the heartbeat of the school. "There W9 many people here just like me. and USC offers no extracurricular or preferential treatment for students of our calibre." Crediting his success in ob taining his degree to "hard work and persistence," Brooks states his guiding philosophy as "Never I.ake 'No' for an answer. To suc ceed, you have to go back and keep trying. You have to earn your place in this world."
