N. C. Central
Campaigns To Raise $16 Million
Dr. LeRoy Walker
.NCCL' Chancellor
Special To The Post
.. Durham - Fifteen years before the
21st century begins, North Caro
lina Central University has
launched a campaign to raise a total
of more than $16 million in the next
eight years.
Chancellor LeRoy T. Walker an
nounced the campaign in a convo
cation last week which marked the
end of the university’s Diamond
Anniversary Year. North Carolina
Central University was founded in
1910 as the National Religious
Training School and Chautauqua.
The first of two phases of the
campaign has begun, and will end in
1968. Of the $5.4 million goal for the
first phase of the drtye, Walker
announced this morning, the univer
sity has in hand $2.8 million In gifts
1 - - ■"■■■■ —
and pledges.
The second phase of the drive will
be launched in 1968, with a goal of
$10.8 million. The total goal for the
campaign is thus $16.2 million. A
substantial portion of the total will
be invested for endowment pur
poses, and the university expects to
have an endowment fund of more
than $15 million by its 100th birth
day in 2010.
During the first three-year phase
of the campaign, NCCU will seek to
achieve a total of $1,100,000 in
Annual Giving, $1 million for speci
fic support of new and existing
university programs, and $3.3 mil
lion for endowment.
The second-phase campaign will
seek, over five years, a total of
$2,750,000 in Annual Giving, $1,
875,000 for program support, and
$6,150,000 for endowment invest
ment.
The funds raised in Annual Giv
ing campaigns will be used for
unrestricted student scholarships,
graduate fellowships, and teaching
assistantships; to establish a stu
dent loan fund; and for faculty and
administrative operating budget
support.
Program support funds will be
used to expand NCCU's honors pro
gram, to establish a strong visit
ing lecturer and artist series, to
support the NCCU Museum of Art, to
increase library holdings, en
hance research ^programs, support
faculty development and to im
prove other university services
Income from the endowment
funds would also provide for pro
gram support and scholarships, in
addition to providing supplemental
funding for faculty salaries.
The campaign will be managed by
the North Carolina Central Uni
versity Foundation, Inc., the uni
versity's principal fund raising arm.
William E. Simon, former U S.
Secretary of the Treasury, will serve
as honorary chairman for the cam
paign, and Dr. Francis A. Kornegay
of Detroit will serve as campaign
committee chairman.

Hearts
\K ' w•v-" •. MI
Six hours. That’s the time a heart attack victim
has before damage is irreversible.
The generous gift from the Belk Family estab
lishes the Belk Heart Center as a regional facility
with some of the most sophisticated technology in
the world for open heart surgery and the complex,
delicate heart catheterization procedures.
Minds
Presbyterian’s spacious Psychiatric Center is
the only one of its type in the Charlotte area that is
i ,■a part of a full service hospital.
It’s a place where shaping potter’s clay helps
reshape troubled spirits. Where a rooftop green
house nurtures new ideas about living in a
complex world. A place where staff and patients
form a living, working community that leads to
recovery.
Handsome new facilities—a basketball court
and running track, a private dining room, a green
house, a pottery-kiln area and generous areas for
group therapy—support the programs designed
bf individual physicians.
