JANUARY 31, 1975 VOICE PAGE 3 Decision By City Planners Deadlociied CHANCELLOR OPPOSED TO PWC PLAIVT ON MURCHINSON ROAD An attempt to construct a 32-acre Public Works Com mission commercial site opposite the J. W. Seabrook Auditorium on Murchison Road was again met wiht strong opposition by Chan cellor Charles “A” Lyons, Jr., members of the FSU ad ministrative staff, student government president, and residents of the area. Chancellor Lyons and members of his delegation met Tuesday, January 21, with the Fayetteville City Joint Planning Board for the second time to express “strong opposition” to a controversial Public Works Commission proposal to build a repair and maintenance center opposite Fayetteville State University on Murchison Road. Members of the FSU delegation argued that dust, noise and additional traffic on the already crowded Mur chison Road would make the maintenance center aesthetically incompatible with the “growing university” and suggested two alternative sites and another use. Chancellor Lyons suggested, along with Dr. Maurice Hayes, Director of Development and University Relations at FSU, that the center be moved across town to the P. 0. Hoffer Water Plant site on the Cape Fear River, or to city property on Milan Road, Dr. Hayes suggested the 32-acre site be used for high- rise senior citizen housing, associated supply and recreation facilities and an FSU alumni center. Dr. W. C. Brown, FSU Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs said “It is (the proposed maintenance site) in conflict with the university’s mission to promote cultural affairs and aesthetic ap preciation.” Brown asked board members if they would be receptive to having the facility as proposed in the front door of their alumna, or homes, however sophisticated the camouflage. PWC attorney Dick Lewis argued earlier that shrubbery and trees PWC proposes to plant along Murchison Road opposite FSU would fully screen the truck and piles of material from view in a few years. Board members voting to deny the PWC request were FSU Dean of Men A. J. Mc Coy, Attorney Arthur Lane, John Martin and Alex Bethune. Voting to approve the request were Waverly Broadwell, John Collie, Grady Howard and Chairman Sterling Wray. Chancellor Lyons told the planning board that the PWC storage yard had long been a source of irritation for FSU, and suggested that as the city grows, the fleet of main tenance vehicles PWC proposed to headquarter there will grow and pose an in creasingly severe problem. Dr. Lyons said that he has the support of the FSU board of trustees which is chaired by Mayor Jackson F. Lee. Area Of Art ScAccUcle /4ctcacUe4^ 1975 JANUARY 27 - FEBRUARY 7 u One Man Show.

It’s a brand new year and the Broncos still ride. And I must say that we are riding high. Through the eyes of a cancer we face a big year with much challenge and many sur prises. A word of advice to you - “work patiently and aim high.” GETTING READY - Members of the Faculty Women’s Club of Fayetteville State University are getting set for their annual project “FASHIONS AROUND THE WORLD” to be held Friday, March 21, 1975 at the Bordeaux Convention Center. The project is held to raise money for FSU student scholarship. The members are (I-r) Mrs. Beulah Monroe, correspondence secretary; Mrs. Rosa Lyons, president; Mrs. Catherlene Thompson, treasurer; and Miss Lois Turner, chairman of the fashion show. UP ISN’T CATCHING “REVERSE DISCRIMINATION ” I find that today many young blacks fear that in the course of human events we, as a people, could find ourselves doing to other races the same things which they have done to us for so many years - discriminating because of race. Don’t worry! White males once shut out women and minorities from faculties, student bodies and other positions in a deliberate, systematic, discriminatory manner. It cannot reasonably be said that white males now are being shut out in anything remotely resembling the same manner, or approaching the same numbers. That they must finally share the op portunity of access to those institutions, and compete fairly for that access in the reality. And this is not “racism in reverse” or “sexism in reverse” but simple lustice, 1-o-n-ggggg overdue! NOT SLAVE, NOT FREE On January 15, almost half a century ago a great American black was born. Not great because he was American and not great because he was black, but, because of the place he held in life and in the hearts of mankind. On this date in 1975 Fayetteville State University took a “moment” to pay its due respect and homage to this great man, and as a Bronco, we each took pride in that tribute. In memory of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Fayetteville State students marched from the campus to downtown Fayetteville. Dr. King may not know what we did here, but he would have been honored to know that we did not forget his cause, and today we can march freely down the streets of Fayet teville, North Carolina, non- violently, for a cause - a just cause. And every day, as that day, we are going to walk proudly, upright, and at peace for that same cause (justice) for the world to see. But we must not forget that not so many years ago our forefathers were sold from the same steps of the market square on which, we, today, can stand and sing of freedom. But that’s not enough. So “be still and know” that there is no victory without total defeat and in the end we cannot have a victor and a victim but one complete victory for all. REGISTRATION BY MAIL ~ TOO FARFETCHED? The long waiting lines are over for one more semester, but still they leave their taunt of mocked exhaustion. But the mockery has brought about one worthwhile product. The students here have frequently been kicking around the suggestion of registration by mail. Nothing has come of it so far but, at least, we are looking for a solution. The question is still hanging, so watch out next month for the answer. Why not register by mail? WELL, WHY NOT? Oh, I almost forgot - “Weren’t we cool on Teenage- Frolics” and Mr. Mitchell really got it together. LAUGH TIME - Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Dr. W. C. Brown (seated) appears to be breaking up with laughter as he is joked by guest consultant Dr. Doris S. Canty. The two-day faculty- staff spring conference was held in the student center January 6-7 and Dr. Canty’s subject was “Decentralized Academic Advicement System”.
