The six-week program, which began June 19 and ended July 25, was sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The Program Activity Director, Dr. Roosevelt Holmes, couldn’t have been happier about how overwhelmin^y successful the program was this year. Dr. William Bell, Athletic Director at FSU and Chief Administrator for the Summer Program, said that the program and Fayetteville State University is rendering a viable service to the youth of the community and he is almost assured that this kind of program wUl continue next year. The six-week project, funded by a $24,0(X) grant from the NCAA, is in its second year of operation at FSU. The program is unique, in that it is-along with A & T State University-the only two schools m North Carolina funded by the NCAA for summer projects of this nature. “Another good thing about a program such as this”, said Dr. Holmes “is that the Department of Agriculture is helping to feed the youngsters.” The children are fed at the end of each day. We only have a four-day activity week which begins at three in the afternoon and ends around six with a nutritious meal.” Dr. Holmes said that all nationalities of children were enrolled in the program this year. The age-range of the children was 10 to 18 years. The project has a follow-up health service which provides for the youngsters. Dr. Holmes feels that this is a very important aspect of the Summer Program. “The children received health examinations when they enrolled in the program and will be allowed to follow-up on them after the program, if a health problem is detected. The University physician will be the chief resource person handling this area”. Holmes said. The program. Dr. Holmes feels, does more than just give the kids a chance to play sports and other activities, it is a “Character building vehicle which helps to mold good citizenship in the community.” “We had agencies from the community such as the police and health departments as well as private industry to explain their various functions.Also, job opportunities were explained and “rap sessions” were also provided,” he said. A new activity, soccer, was introduced to the children this year along with the usual activities such as swimming, dance, gymnastics, track and field, basketball, tennis, arts and crafts, and volleyball. The Summer Youth Sports Program consists of faculty from FSU, the Fayetteville Public School System, as well as college and high school students to assist the staff members.
