a> ff « ^ M1 Three new modern buildings are presently under construction and the J.W. Seabrook Auditorium
is getting a face lift at Fayetteville State University.
The builidngs, a dormitory, continuing education center, and learning center, total over $3
million.
According to A1 Gargiulo, university engineer, the new $1,750,000 dormitory will house 250
students and is forty percent complete, the contract calls for a completion date of April 1976, a fall
occupancy seems more reasonable, Gargiulo stated.
The Continuing Education Center is due for completion: January, 1976. Gargiulo stated that
construction is on target and the funds were obtained from the Kellogg Foundation Grant
totalling $263,000.
The new Butler Learning Center (academic center) is about eighty percent finished, according
to the university engineer, a completion date for the $2.5 million building is March 1976.
The J.W. Seabrook Auditorium, under renovation, is set for completion December 1975. Gargiulo
stated that the face-lifting will include a new lighting and sound system, new stage curtains and air
conditioning.
Thought for the Month
If you tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe, he’ll believe you. But if you tell him a
bench has just been painted, he has to touch it to be sure.

Gilbert Owens, President

Association at FSU has

few past presidents have ever
witnessed. It will be a hard
task for future SGA presidents
to follow his path of success,
though they may find

what has been started by
Owens.

The Student Leadership
Conference was held Sep
tember 19-20 at Fayetteville
State University. It involved
the gathering of several black
institutions to discuss mutual
problems. The Student
Leadership Conference has
been viewed by all par
ticipants as a success and also
a stepping stone to solving
future problems.
Gilbert Owens, with his
levelheadness and sheer
determination planned for the
conference with much care.
Things which would have
seemed so menial to others
were taken note of by the SGA
Prexy.Name cards were
typed for all participants,
packets were issued con
taining a schedule to follow
throughout the conference
along with a set of questions to
discuss and note pads. The
student leaders split into three
groups, with each group
handling a different set of
questions. Tasty meals were
prepared by the FSU staff at
the student center, en
tertainment for the guests was
provided each night and each
member received a pass to the
Fayetteville State-Norfolk
State University football
game. The type of atmosphere
created at the conference
made students from these
schools capable of speaking
freely among themselves
about problems concerning
them. Students who had
previously handled the same
such problems readily gave
suggestions as to how they
might be eliminated.
The student leaders who
attended the conference were
from such schools as: Morgan
State College, with guest
speaker Robert Thompson,
Bennett College, Elizabeth
City College, Johnson C.
Smith University, North
Carolina A & T State
University, North Carolina
Central University,
Livingstone College, Shaw
University and Winston-
Salem State University.
Bennett College has more
members at the conference,
with a total of ten student
leaders from their school.
Owners spoke of the
conference in these terms:
“We became closer-
something like a family, with
no commmunication problem.
Every school’s problems were
recognized. Bennett College,
the most oppressed school out
of all schools present, does not
