Speaking For Ourselves Volume 37, Number 2 FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. November 23,1982 Mrs. Cynthia Bond Huff 1924-1982 The Voice dedicates this issue to the memory of Mrs. Cynthia Bond Huff, Assistant Professor of Biological and Physical Sciences, who died on Sunday, October 31. Memorial services were held for Mrs. Huff on Wednesday, November 3, 1982, at 4.00 p.m. in the J.W. Seabrook Auditiorium. Mrs. Huff was a member of the faculty at FSU for 30 years. During her years at Fayetteville State University, M rs. Huff served in many capacities. Student Endowment Kickoff By C. Bell Approximately twenty students and a few members of the administration were on hand for the official kickoff of the Endowment Fund-raising Drive on November 3, 1982 in the multi-purpose room of the student center. The Steering Committee, under the direction of Mrs. Vanilla G. Wilson, hopes to raise $250,000 by June 1983 at which time the MOTT Foundation will match that sum. Several activities for raising money have been planned including a rock and roll festival, a gospel program, a 24-hour telethon on WKFT, channel 40, and the installation of video games in RJSG. Chancellor, Dr. Charles Lyons, stressed the importance of an endowment saying that it would give FSU a strong foundation and ensure a financially sound future. Dr. Lyons also emphasized that we are planning for the year 2000 and that all donations are an investment in the University's future. At one point in the program. Dr. Lyons. Ms. Caletha Powell, and SOA president Jerry Beatty were awarded construction paper replicas of a head, a hand, and a heart, for brains, industriouness, and love for FSU. Ms. Gail Bowie, representing a national fund-raising company, discussed the potential for raising money by selling Wisconsin Cheese and Sausage. Members of the audience were given information and order forms and were asked to sell as much as possible by November 11. Everyone was asked to be present fora beer social at Studio 105 on November 4 at 7;00, where actual sales would be further discussed. A light meal was served and the meeting was dismissed. On the following evening at the club on Murchison Rd., nearly 5 or 6 people from the previous night reappeared in addition to a few administrators who were scheduled to speak. This reporter departed at 8:00 p.m. and only one or two additional people arrived and the meeting had not officially begun. It is doubtful that even one of the three kegs of free beer was emptied. Editor Appointed By Cheryl D. McCalop Mrs. Jacquelyn E. Stewart, Editor of the yo/ce has resigned her position to prepare for graduation in December. Jackie has been a member of the Voice staff for three years. She served as Editor for the past 1 1/2 years.

Mr. Emanuel Vaughn, Jr., a junior, English Major from Cherry Hill, NJ, has been appointed as the new Editor. Vaughn has been a member of the Voice staff since his freshman year at FSU. During his tenure he has been primarily concerned with covering fashion and news stories. Emanuel seems very confident in his new role as Editor. An ex-marine, Vaughn has a talent of leadership. He has begun a recruiting program to recruit new staffers. He has also reorganized the existing staff. The Voice congratulates Jackie on her many accomplishments at FSU and wish her the best of luck in the future. FSU Professor Succumbs During the current semester, she was teaching Physical Science and an interdisciplinary course, “Death and Dying”. Mrs. Huff also served as a visiting Professor at East Carolina University. A native of Camden, South Carolina, M rs. Huff earned a B.S.

Dr. Anderson comes to Fayetteville State University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administra tion's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, where he served as Head of the Office of Research Grants and University Affairs. Anderson lists the increased proportion of Langley's research funds being awarded to historically Black colleges as a significant accomplish ment during his tenure. FSU Receives Plaque By Rosemary Byrd The Cumberland County Blood Assurance Plan recently presented a plaque to Fayetteville State University which read, “Award of Appreciation in great recognition of generous service, outstanding interest and enthusiastic support.” This award was presented to Fayetteville State University because^f_ the support the students of Air Force ROTC and other organizations had given to this program. Dr. Irving Veazie, Director of Student Activities accepted the award for the university. Cpt. Howard Swims of the Air Force ROTC and Cadet Col. Davis Holloway were present for the presentation. On behalf of Student Activities and the university. Dr. Veazie expressed his appreciation to the students and staff members who always had made positive contributions in all endeavors of this university. “Look for the next blood drive” Fayetteville State University has not only lost a faculty member, the University has lost a friend. Mrs. Huff was a very dedicated instructor who was concerned about the students' total development in and out of the classroom. M rs. Huff will be greatly missed by the FSU Family. FSU Receives Grant Dr. Charles “A” Lyons, Jr., has received notice that Fayetteville State University has been awarded one of the largest grants given by the Department of Education. Awarded under the “special needs” clause of the Title HI Institutional Advancement Program, FSU received $798,434 out of a possible maximum award of $800,000. These funds are the first installment on a multi-year commitment made to FSU by the Title III Grants Office. Out of thirteen (13) activities requested, nine (9) were approved for funding. These activities are in the areas of Academics, Student Development and Administra tive Support. In the AcaUeiTiic area, the purcnasc oi microcomputers will greatly expand the computer-assisted instruction capability. The Divisions of Business and Economics and Behaviorial & Social Sciences will benefit from these funds in the area of curriculum development. The Student Development area will develop a Comprehensive Cooperative Education Program through which students can intergrate actual work experiences with their studies. They will also expand their counseling services through academic reinforcement outreach centers in the University community. The Office of Development & University Relations, a unit of the Institutional Development component, will also be enhanced as a result of the grant. Since Development is one of the areas traditionally not funded by State sources, it is significant that Title 111 funds have been approved for this activity. With the anticipated new staff in the Development Office, the major areas of Prospect Research and Annual Giving will be given considerable attention. The area of Prospect Research will provide a recognizable increase in proposal writings, identifying private and public funding sources, in addition to numerous other kinds of gifts and services. The hiring of an Annual Fund Coordinator will afford the University an opportunity to develop a concentrated annual giving program. These activities are just another step in the University's efforts to enhance existing programs and develop new ones.
