Admission to
Teacher Education
Cards prerequisite
Dr. Walter T. Pace, Chairman of the Department
of Education and Psychology, says that prior to the
end of the current semester, December 21, 1970,
all students who are eligible for Admission to Teach
er Education will be issued official Admission to
Teacher Education Cards. They will be required to
have these cards in their possession, and to show
them to registration officials if they enroll in Pro
fessional Education courses during registration
periods. These official Admission to Teacher
Education Cards, besides carrying the name of the
student, will carry the official Seal of the Univer
sity, and the signature of the Chairman of the Teacher
Education Council. It must be understood that stu
dents who have not been issued the official Admis
sion to Teacher Education Card will not be allowed
to pursue Professional Education courses.
Students who have been admitted to Teacher Edu
cation are requested to report to Room 201, Smith
Administration Building, for receipt of their official
Admission to Teacher Education Cards beginning
Monday, November 23 through Monday, December
14, 1970.
Nesby, told Fayetteville
City officials that city
government should cor
rect itself on the treat
ment of Blacks.
Mr. Nesby cited the
city’s failure to appoint
FSU graduate, Arthur
Fields, as superinten-
dant of Parks and Rec
reation solely on the basis
of his being black.
The SGA President
highlighted the Novem
ber 15, Fayetteville State
University Day program,
cautioning the Fayette
ville community to stop
back-slapping the univer
sity as if all’s well; it’s
a good place.”
Students of FSU distri
buted circulars on which
they expressed opposition
to Mayor Charles Holt.
The Smith case was
again cited; the Honey
cutt affair was severe
ly criticized and the
mayor was accused of
nasty, racist ways of
handling city council
meetings. Students call
ed upon their followers
for support;
‘‘Brethers and Sisters,
because we are one race
working for the same
things, we ask for your
support in every action
we take today in showing
Mayor Holt who is really
our enemy; that we know
why he is here and that
we do not intend to con
sider his unnecessary
lip-service.”
Mayor Holt was repre
sented by Mayor Protem,
Harry F. Shaw.
Principal speaker. Dr.
Charles Lyons, referred
in general to the FSU cur
riculum and his philoso
phy of giving as many
students as possible a
chance at an educa
tion. He asked for city
and community support.
Lyons talked in very
general terms about F.
S.U. as a future degree
granting graduate cen
ter. His ideas were
based upon the now cir
cumspect NCSU - FSU
joint curricula program.
Other events during
“FSU Week” included a
visit to the campus by
Mr. Donald W. Woods, as
sistant Director of Sum
mer Fellowships for the
National Urban League.
Mr. Woods discussed a
program designed to pro
vide a business orienta
tion for black faculty and
administration.
The Department of
Speech and Theater par
ticipated in FSU Week by
presenting a one-act play,
CLARA'S OLE MAN,
nightly, November 9-13.
The play was directed by
Dr. Mel Slott and pre
sented to a select
audience.
