Research Opportunities for
Juniors and Seniors
If you are a sophomore, junior, or
senior studying computer science, en
gineering, physics, environmental and
life sciences, mathematics or physical
science, the Science and Engineering
Research Semester (SERS) offers you
the unique opportunity to do hands-on
research with some of the nation’s top
scientists at one of seven national re
search laboratories during the aca
demic year.
The SERS program offers an attrac
tive financial package in addition to
the valuable laboratory contacts and
experience. The monthly stipend of
$900 and free housing (utilities in

up to $1,600 depending on location.
Travel expenses are reimbursed for
one round trip to the research facility.
To be eligible for participation in
SERS, students must have completed

Git Along Little Doggies
by Vadrin Colvin
Imagine renting an apartment for
$200 a month for five months. Furnish
ings include running water, central air,
and a desk or two. Now imagine shar
ing this apartment (14 ft. x 10 ft.), with
not one, not two, but three other
people. This very situation is taking
place on the campus of Fayetteville
State University as a result of incom
plete renovations to Bryant Hall. Be
ing crammed into a room designed for
two people leaves little space for pri
vacy.
Now imagine learning upon arrival
to school that the room you have been
assigned to live in for the entire school
year has not only been given to some
one else, but also that you have to
move to another dorm across campus.
This was the case for the women ini
tially expected to inhabit Harris Hall,
who have had to forfeit their rooms to
the men of Bryant. Being shipped from
one dorm to the next has made some
students compare their experience to
cattle-herding. Is that what we are at
Fayetteville State, cattle?
This hasty relocation, however, al
most pales in comparison to the living
conditions encountered by Hood Hall
residents on their first day back on
campus. Witnesses recount stories of
open ceilings in the rooms, exposed
pipes and wires, holes in the floors,
trash and debris in the halls, broken
locks on the doors, and a problem
which could pose the most personal of
