who aspire to pursue
education in these areas.
2. To introduce graduate
programs at the Master’s
level in the areas listed above
as rapidly as possible.
3. To identify, publicize,
and utilize the University’s
resources and talents for the
total community.
4. To become a major
regional University and to
provide full services to the
people of Southeastern North
Carolina with the kinds of
educational programs and
leadership that are essential
to their future.
Creative management is not
an automatic process.
Colleges and universities are
human institutions and their
planning and management
processes are only as good as
the people who operate them.
The management process, to
be effective, must depend
upon people like ourselves at
every level of the system
assuming their fair share of
responsibility for making the
system work. Any
management system or in
stitution with managers who
become self-satisfied in
lethargy, apathy, localism,
narrow-mindedness and
pettiness can hardly be ef
fective and can never be a real
force for creative change,
good and growth.
A Board whose members
understand, accept and
support the institution’s goals
and priorities can “help the
University achieve a better fit
with its major constituencies,
its external environment, and
the broader society. The
Board can assist in deter
mining what niche the
University can best fill and
what kinds of related markets
the University can best serve,
given its strengths,
limitations and potential.”
Members of the Board,
moreover, have the respon-
sinbility for selling the
University externally, in
cluding assistance in at
tracting adequate financial
resources and supporting it
internally.
The second external con
stituency which has
responsibilities of a different
sort related to the
management process is the
alumni.
The alumni are important
because they are the products
SGA PRESIDENT , GILBERT OWENS
FSU to Host Student Leader
Conference Sept 19-20
FAYETTEVILLE—
Fayetteville State Univer
sity’s student government
association will host the first
“Student Leadership Con
ference” on the campus Sept.
19-20 in the Rudolph Jones
Student Center.
The announcement was
made recently by SGA
President Gilbert Owens.
The FSU student leader said
that he conceived the idea for
the Student Leadership
Conference because he felt
there was a dire need for it.
Owens, a native of Roseboro,
North Carolina, said the two-
day theme of the conference
will be “Where Are We
Headed”.
The confab will bring SGA
leaders from at least twelve
predominately Black state-
supported and private in
stitutions of higher learning.
“Invitations have been sent
out to SGA leaders at Barber
Scotia, Concord; Bennett
College, Greensboro;
Elizabeth City State
University, Johnson C. Smith,
Charlotte; Kittrell College;
Livingstone College,
Salisbury; North Carolina
A&T University, Greensboro;
North Carolina Central,
Durham; St. Augustine
College, Raleigh; Shaw
University, Raleigh; and
Winston-Salem State
University, Winston-Salem.
Owens said some of the
objectives of the conference
will be to hopefully identify
new leaders and diagnose
abilities and needs; exchange
ideas, policies, and programs;
and planning and strategy
formulation for
predominately Black schools
in the quest for state funds.
Fayetteville State
University Chancellor Charles
“A” Lyons, Jr. will deliver a
luncheon address on the first
day and guest student leaders
from Howard University and
Morgan State College will be
featured speakers.
of the institution. They are in
truth the only real measure of
the institutions productivity
and worth. Their performance
wherever they are and their
contributions to society ac
count for the institution’s
reputation.
It would seem to be the role
of top management in
cooperation with alumni
leadership to seek an
adequate meshing of alumni
needs and wishes with in
stitutional needs and
capabilities in a way that will
contribute maximally to the
achievement of the in
stitutional mission, '’’his will
obviously require effective
and creative leadership on
both sides.
The key role in the
management process ob
viously must be played by top
management. By top
management, I mean
essentially the president-
chancellor supported by his
senior line executives.
Perhaps the most important
task of top management is to
define, articulate,
operationalize, and insure the
effective implementation of
goals and priorities that are
relevant, realistic and at
tainable.
It is important for top
management to recognize that
institutions are not islands
unto themselves but are part
of the larger society and that
many of the same conditions
which prevail therein plague
us in the academy-prejudice,
lethargy, laziness, arrogance,
self-rightousness, petty
jealousy and cnnflict.
It is the responsinbility of
top management not only to
recognize and understand the
presence of such forces but to
lead and manage in a way
which will minimize their
effect on the educational
enterprise.
When we speak of the
middle management we
generally refer to that level of
management personnel whose
responsibility it is to im
plement decisions made at a
higher level. Although most if
not all of middle management
activity decisions are made
and approved by top-level or
