C. DECEMBER, 1973 FSU Needs Graduate Program (EXCERPTS TAKEN FROM FAYETTEVILLE OBSERVER- NOV., 1973) “A degree-granting program under FSU’s auspices would enhance the image of the college.” These were the worck of Chancellor Charles “A” Lyons, Jr. spoken recently during an interview with a local newspaper. Dr. Lyons was interviewed after HEW’s rejection of the desegregation plan for the entire 16 school University of North Carolina system recently. HEW has ordered the system to develop new desegregation proposals within 90 days setting out specific goals and timetables for ending student and faculty segregation. “I’m sure the final decision (on the desegregation plan) will be made by the board but we an ticipate there will be adequate input from the individual campuses,” said Lyons. The FSU Chancellor further stated, “There is a tremendous demand for a graduate program at FSU. It seems to be the next logical step.” “We need to broaden and improve the quality of the program that we offer here to make the institution more attractive to all the people who want a college education in this community. Another means of opening the college to more white students would be by ending the traditional “isolation” between FSU and the white community here in Fayetteville and Cumberland County. “I think we must do more in the community at large to publicize the various programs offered at FSU.” Christmas Flowers - Fayetteville State University Coed Ruth Stancell is framed by holly and berries - the signs of the season.

Brown Profiles IVhite Student On Black Campus by Virginia Graham (Excerpts taken from Fayetteville Times and Fayetteville Observer — December, 1973) Charles I. Brown, a faculty member at Fayetteville State University, has published a profile of the white student on the black campus. The profile, which was published in “The White Student on the Black Campus,” was released by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). What is the white student like on a traditionally black campus in the South? According to the findings of the Brown research, the white student who chooses a black university is generally older than the average student. He is usually between 27 and 30 and he is a native of the Southern Region. In most cases he sought neither the advice of his family nor his friends in deciding to enroll in the college. In a recent interview to a local newspaper, Brown said, “most of the white students attending FSU, are those attending most any other predominantly black college are married and have had to work to support their familes rather than take time out to go to school. The report also indicates that usually the expenses at the college are relatively low and daily commuting is convenient. The white student will make no plans to become involved in activities that will incur financial obligations. When asked about desegregation by a local newspaper. Brown noted, “It will be many years before FSU attracts the apple-cheeked 18-year-old white freshman because students of that age group consider the social aspect of the college experience to be of utmost importance. They are at the age where they are looking for the MRS as well as the degree.” “FSU can not hope to attract younger white students until more white students of both sexes are enrolled,” he continued. Brown also said the desegregation of FSU will be a long process. “You can’t just force people to go to a particular school, Brown said. “It isn’t like high school. And you aren’t going to get people to see something here to interest them. A white high school senior does not want to go to a school where he will be socially isolated, and it will take many years before we attract enough white students of both sexes who can serve as the attraction factor for more white students.
