Governor Terry Sanford was the
highly honored guest speaker for
our annual Founders’ Day Program
here at Fayetteville State College
on Sunday, April 26. The honorable

of ultimate importance and inter

various organizations now being
formed to combat poverty through

The present-day situation of social

days when the college was founded.
Governor Sanford also gave
further informat'or concerning the
Good Neighbor Council, Operation

unemployment in our state as weU

students of the college to join in
the fight to better the living con
ditions of poverty-stricken families

Carolina Volunteers.
