EDITORIAL PAGE
FUTURE ROLE FOR
CAMPUSES
(Editor’s note: The following
editorial is taken from the
June 15, 1976 edition of the
FAYETTEVILLE TIMES,
Roy Parker, Jr., Editor)
The conclusion of a study
by the University of North
System that predominantly
black campuses are no longer
discriminated against in such
areas as salaries, facilities,
and state financial support
looks primarily to the present.
It does not address itself to the
future, either of the campuses
or to the geographical areas of
the state served by the in
stitutions.
The report was prepared
to counter claims by f^eral
authorities that the marks of
past discrimination are still
visible on such campuses as
Fayetteville State University
and Pembroke State
University. It inevitably
leaves something to be
desired as a blueprint for the
future, even if it correctly
reflects the state of affairs at
this precise moment in the
history of higher education in
North Carolina.
If the report is accepted
as a true picture by federal
authorities, then the
University System can then
get on to adequately drawing
plan for the future of the in
stitutions, a plan which gives
them a role to play com
mensurate with the needs of
the state and of their par
ticular geographical areas of
the state.
The report on
discrimination concludes that
FSU and Pembroke are not to
be equated with the giant
graduate-and-research units
of the System in Raleigh,
Chapel Hill, or Greensboro.
The report did conclude that
the predominantly-black
institutions have played an
important role despite the
discrimination of the past.
They have, with limited
means and often with ill-
equipped human and physical
resources, tried valiantly to
help thousands of young
people overcome the terrible
inadequacies of training and
opportunity produced by
racial segregation in the
public school system. The
report concluded that much of
the effort of the institutions
had been directed at
remedying such marks of past
discrimination.
If such institutions are
now judged to be prepared for
a more adequate role, the
University authorities need to
make a commitment to
provide money, the man
power, and the influence so
that they can do the job. Such
institutions as FSU and
Pembroke have a vital role as
regional campuses to provide
trained personnel in such
fields as business ad
ministration, public service,
medical technology, and
spwial education. If, as the
University authorities claim,
the marks of past
discrimination are inde^ a
thing of the past, then it is now
for tiiose same authorities to
shape a future of widening
service for the campuses in
keeping with the needs of the
areas of the state in which
they are located and
adequately supported to do
the job.
FSV 9iath Instructor
Gets Doctorate
TBE BEAVTY OF
FSV’S CAMPVS
“FSU has the most
beautiful campus in the
CIAA,” quipped one student
recently as she viewed the
scenery from the ad
ministration building.
Certainly FSU has come a
long way as it approaches the
100th year of existence, and a
beautiful campus is just one of
the major accomplishments.
However, the beauty of a
campus landscape is vital to
any institution of higher
learning because it stimulates
pride in the students. Many
students attend a university
because they like the way it
looks.
The Chancellor of the
University has taken the
initiative to seek ways of
improving the beauty of the
campus. His concern for the
campus landscape has been
displayed in numerous talks to
students, faculty, and staff
alike.
As FSU’s centennial year
commences, the Bronco
family should feel very proud
that the back of the ad
ministration no longer looks
dusty and grassless.
Instead, beautiful shade
trees, shrubbery, flowers, and
other plants have been placed
to enhance the pulchritude of
the area. The benches add a
romantic connection with the
newly laid sidewalks running
geometrically over the
acreage.
This is a good start, in
deed, toward the FSU Cen
tennial.

RETROSPECTION
Seasons can come and go
and nobody will ever know
that I have come and gone
that I have lived
and left my contribution
that I have shared the
morning sun with them
Still, I feel no remorse
because
I was forgotten
I am glad that I tasted
“life”
and I rejoice because there
is at least one other
that is glad that I lived
