FSU Institutes New Program For Prospective Teachers Fayetteville State University’s Department of Education and Psychology will institute a mini-program *0 assist teachers and prospective teachers in performing their roles as counselors and advisors to their students.

New Local To Beginning January 21, 1975, the Department of Continuing Education of Fayetteville State University, in cooperation with local government agencies con- tigious to the City of Fayet teville and Cumberland County, is offering a com prehensive course in local government administration. The course will terminate May 8, 1975 and will be con ducted in Room 105, Science Annex on the Main Campus of Fayetteville State University. The course is designed primarily for employees of city, town and county government at the loin WxxlsvOwfs light atainst pol!ution.T6dav. Government Course Begin Jan. 21 managerial level, but elected members of the various boards and councils involved in policy, planning and budgetary matter may attend. The course is also designed for persons in middle and upper levels of local management or for persons entering local government services at these levels from areas such as the military service or inductory. The following topics will be included in the course: Introduction to local govern ment in North Carolina and the United States, Local Organization and Management, Local Ad- Questions are often raised as to why there are so few blacks in American graduate schools and why there are so few blacks with Ph.D.’s. Blacks represent eleven per cent of the general population, and they constitute a slightly higher percentage of the college age cohort. Yet the current figures show that fewer than seven per cent of the total college and university enrollment is represented by black students. In 1970 black students represented 4.1 per cent of the total enrollment in graduate and professional schools. At the same time, of the Ph.D.’s awarded, black students received fewer than one per cent. Several studies related to black students in higher education reveal that the one reason most often cited by an overwhelming number of black students as to why they do not go to graduate school is the lack of financial support. Often times black students are not aware of the varied sources of financial support and-or the many and varied opportunities for a graduate education. First of all, there is money available for a graduate education. But it is imperative that the quest for financial assistance begin early. Most students should begin seriously considering and looking for financial aid in their third year of college work. Students who are in terested in doctoral studies should begin looking during their early post graduate years. Secondly, the student should carefully select and identify the graduate school and the fellowship or scholarship that meets his particular needs and requirements. Some fellowships have age stipulations, sex requirements, specific area of study requirements, specific degree requirements, or they are tenable only at specific institutions. Thirdly, the students should pay particular at tention as to when the ap propriate deadlines for ap plications are. If the ap plication deadline is January first, this means that all supporting documents (GRE scores, letters of recom mendations, transcripts, etc.) are on file with the fellowship agency, and that the ap plication folder is complete at that time. It is fully the students’ responsibility to see that all documents are sent to the agency and that faculty ad visors or whoever is writing the recommendations are knowledgeable about the required deadlines. Also, if the application calls for a “statement of purpose”, i.e., when you want to go to graduate school, then the student should pay particular attention that he presents himself-herself well on paper.
