B.S. Degree Program h Computer Science
Approved for PSU
ur. uilbert sampwrn
Pembroke-The UNC Board of
Governors Friday approved a
Bachelor of Science degree
program in Computer Science
for PSU. It will be initiated at
PSU this fall.
The new program will pre
pare students for entry lcel
positions in computer science
as well as for further educa
tion at trie graduate level, saio
PSU officials.
Hie options for areas of
concentration beyond the core
curriculum, according to PSU,
are: scientific applications,
business applications, math
ematical applications and ad
vance computer science.
"We are very excited about
getting this," said Dr. Gilbert
Sampson, chairman of the
PSU Department of Mathe
matics and Computer Science.
"We have worked hard to
obtain it and have been
waiting for its approval."
Having the new degree
program means PSU will be
adding an 11th person to its
Mathematics and Computer
Science Department. Funding
is already provided for this.
PSU this semester offers
seven courses in computer
science, six of which are in the
daytime and one at 5 p.m. on
Tuesdays. The University has
75 microcomputers on cam
pus. In the fall 276 PSU
students took computer sci
ence courses.
"This new degree program
will provide our students with
more courses and more depth
into the computer science
field," Sampson said. "It will
be an important part of the
continued growth of the
Mathematics and Computer
Science Department"
Sampson said PSU has
sufficient facilities for the new
degree program because of
the recent acquisition of a
Digital Equipment Corpora
tion VAX Computer Syster by
the PSU Computer Center,
directed by Jo Ann Pearson,
plus other microcomputers
throughout the campus. Co
ordinating these computers is
a Computer Advisory Com
mittee, chaired by Dr. Joe
Goldston of the Mathematics
and Computer Science De
partment
PSU s Mathematics and
Computer Science Depart
ment offered its first course in
computer science in 1969. The
interest and courses continu
ed to grow and in 1979, said
Sampson, a track in computer
science for the B.S. in Mathe
matics was developed and
approved.
"In June of 1984, the
Mathematics and Computer
Science Department submit
ted a proposal to the UNO
General Administration for a
separate B.S. degree program
in Computer Science," said
Sampson. "We are delighted
that it is now a reality."
Funds have already be?ii~
provided for PSU to do the
planning for a wing to the
Herbert Oxendine Science
Building, which houses the
Department of Mathematics
and Computer Science and
other departments. Future
plans call for moving the PSU
Computer Center, now in the
Mary Livermore library at
PSU, into that wing so that all
of the major computer facili
ties at PSU will be under one
roof, concluded Sampson.

Carbon Monoxide Blamed In Deaths
PEMBROKE - Two people who
were found dead in a car parked in
a field west of here Friday morning
apparently died of accidental
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Robeson County sheriff's deputies
said.
James Arnold Locklear, 40, and
Barbara Harris, in her 30's, both of ?.
Route 3, Maxton, were found in the
car about 7:15 a.m. by sheriff's
deputies who received a call from a
I
passer-by, according to Chief Depu
ty Leroy Freeman
They were dead at the scene, off
River Road about a mile west of
West Robeson School.
Freeman said the bodies were
found in Locklear's station wagon.
The car's motor was running when
deputies arrived, he said.
The car apparently had a short
tailpipe and holes in its body that
allowed the gas to get into the
passenger compartment. Freeman
said. He said that the car was
impounded by deputies
Freeman said he did not think
autopsies will be performed on 'he
bodies because foul play is not

Fountain Odom Bids for
i
U.S. Senate Seat
Fountain Udom, a Meck
lenburg County Commission
er running for the U.S.
Senate, tiled today in Raleigh
as a candidate in the May 6
Democratic Primary for the
U.S. Senate.
Odom, 46, is a lifelong
Democrat, born in Rocky
Mount, educated at the Uni
versity of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and a trial attor
ney for almost 25 years. For
the past 12 years, he has
served in Mecklenburg Coun
ty government-for six years
on the Parks and Recreation
Commission, including ser
vice as its chairman, and since
1980 as an elected county
commissioner, serving two
years as vice chairman and
two years a$ chairman.
With Odom at the filing
were his wife, Jane and other
members of his family, his
campaign manager, Jan Cone
of Nash County, and other
supporters and members of
his campaign staff.
Odom paid the $751 filing
fee with a check back by
seven hundred and fifty-one
one-dollar bills signed by
donors from across the state.
After the filing. Odom
offered nis reasons for seek
ing the Senate seat and
answered questions from the
state's news media.
Excerpts from his prepared
remarks:
--I do not take this step
lightly. I made my decision
early and made it based on
advice from the people of
North Carolina.
They want a new face and
a new voice in the U.S.
Senate. I am that new face
and that new voice- but one
with experience. I have serv
ed for 12 years on the front
lines of local government, six
in elective office, working
with people and their prob
lems daily.
-I am in this campaign to
win and to win for the people
of North Carolina. I pledge to
run on the issues that concern
mainstream North Carolina
citizens. Our campaign will
not be a glossy ribboned
rnulu-million-dollar hard ?eu.
-In token of that pledge, I
hold in my hand seven
hundred and fifty-one dollar
bills, from 751 donors from all
over North Carolina to pay the
filing fee. Their names and
the counties they live in are
written on the face of moat of
these 751 trills. Filing requires
a check or money order, of
course, but my check just paid
is backed by these dollars
from these good people.
-I intend to be a candidate
who listens! If honored to be
your U.S. Senator. I will
continue to listen to the views
of the people of North Caro
lina from the mountains to the
seacoast I will not be a
Senator who votes his whims
or the whims of the best
bankrolled lobbyist
-I will fight to protect
American and North Carolina
jobs from unfair foreign com
petition. I will suppon quotas,
even tariffs, against those
who do not play fair with us. I
deplore the veto by our
President of the act of Con
gress establishing quotas on
textile imports.
?1 wui cast myselt, not with
the doves or the hawks but
with the owl*, woo call fur a -
strong, reliable national dc
fense without waste. I will
support negotiations with the
Soviet Union to achieve mu
tual, verifiable arms reduc
tions.
-I will support every rea
sonable proposal to make
farming, once again, a profit
making enterprise.
-I will continue my support
and will be a champion for a
clean and safe environment
Protecting our air and water
almost has become a forgot
ten issue. Acid rain-to cite
only one example-which can
kill our forests, our lumber
jobs and our wildlife must be
fought!
-I will support a balanced
federal budget I will not vote
to raise the debt limit one
penny. America has become a
debtor nation. Americans say
stop! North Carolinians say
stop. I say stop and Til say it
in the Senate.
