DR. JONES CITES
NEED FOR MORE
SUPPORT
Fayetteville State College President Rudolph Jones
told a group of Fayetteville area supporters that the
college needs additional support if it is to compete
for bright minds and faculty.
The occasion was a luncheon to honor individuals
and firms that have supported the college’s endowment
program over a two-year period.
Dr. Jones told the gathering that no state-supported
institution can or has become great on tax funds
alone. ‘'Additional support must come from individuals
and foundations if we are to compete with other
institutions,” he said.
Or. Jones said that such funds would be used for
students scholarships, improving faculty, and
research. “Competition is keen for bright students
and unless you can provide them some type of assist
ance, students will look elsewhere.”
“Authorities tell us that the predominantly black
public-supported Institutions get a relative smaller
proportion of funds dispensed by philanthropy than any
other group of colleges.” Jones said, ‘"This is not
only because of the attitude that we are well supported
by tax funds, but it is also our fault.”
Jones said that FSC has plans to remedy this
situation. “We hope to get federal and state funds to
set up a full-time developmentoffice after July I, 1969.
We intend to go all out to get money from foundations,
businesses, industry, and wealthy individuals.”
Jones cautioned the group that one of the marks for
achieving this goal is local support. “When you go to
such groups, however, they always want to know what
the people in your community think of you and what
are they doing for you. They also ask about your
alumni and what they are doing.”
Dr. Jones had special praise for all the legislators
that have represented Cumberland County in the
General Assembly. “They have always supportedour
endeavors when it came to appropriations for the
college,” he said. Special praise was reserved for
former Representative Ike O’Hanlon. Jones told the
gathering that O’Hanlon was instrumental in securing
additional funds to complete construction of the
Women’s Gymnasium.
Also coming for special praise was Henry G. Hutaff,
Coca Cola Bottling Company. “Coca Cola Bottling
Company has been a prime supporter of the college
and for this we are grateful,” Jones said.
Certificates were presented to individuals and
representatives of firms supporting FSC Foundation.
Capital Club Certificates were presented to firms
donating $1,000 or more to the college. Recipients
were; Belk-Hensdale Company, Coca-Cola Bottling
