Carolina Central University, said the con
sent decree was not worth the bull left in
he barnyard. " He said there were no
guarantees m the consent decree to nl'eet the
desegregation goals, 'nor is there any pre
ventions that these guidelines will be
obtained."
John Everette, SGA president ot Fayettevil
le State University, said he was "dismayed
and disgruntled" over the consent decree. 'I
have read the consent decree and I'm not
satisfied with it because there is nothing in it
to aid traditionally black schools."
"Why In the hell is the UNC system in
creasing white enrollment on black cam
puses In order to give us more money?"
Johnson said. The Board of Governors
should give black schools more money re
gardless of the make-up of Its students."
Michael Sutton, SGA President of Win-
ston-Saiem State University, said the settle
ment was very unfair. "It's something to tie
black schools over for a while, then the dis
pute will crop up again."
The danger to black schools is not an in
creased number of white students — the
danger is the local administration and the
General Administration m Chapel Hill."
D.C. Leroy) Beatty III. SGA president of
Elizabeth City State University, said the con
sent decree does not guarantee that the 29
programs would be established at the five
preJo’^lnately black universities. He added
th^t the new programs were part of the long
range planning of the blacks before the set
tlement was reached.
"I hope all these racial overtones across
the board or under the board can be settled
between UNC and the U.S. Department of
Education because they must understand
that what they decide affects the entire UNC
system. '
After reviewing the terms of the agree
ment, Black Student Movement Chairperson
Mark Canady said in a prepared statement
"that no concrete resolution has come from
the years of litigation this case has experi
enced. He said no provisions had been writ
ten In the settlement that give any guarantees
of desegregation of the UNC system.
Canady said the original dispute of the
case was that the University has not acted
with expediency with its desegregation
plans. "The drafting of this agreement with
Its amblguious meaning in no way assures
the citizens of North Carolina that the uni
versity will act with any more vigor than it
has In the past upon the matter of desegrega
tion."

Pre-Orientation, a program geared toward
the needs of incoming blacks, is necessary
and successful, said Hayden B. Renwick,
associate dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences.
Pn 1969, the Black Student Movement per
ceived a need for a program which catered
!oThe needs of blacks new to the University,
said Elson Floyd, assistant dean student
affairs.
The program developed into Pre-
Orientation is organized and operated solely
by the BSM. About five years later the prog
ram was taken over by the office of Student
Affairs.
Pre-Orientation activities began Saturday
Aug. 15 and will end Saturday Aug. 29 with
a party at Kessing Pool.
Highlights of the program included gener
al meeting for parents, a slide show, and an
academic majors mart. A cultural program,
dinner with counselors and faculty, and a
general meeting for students are also part of
the activities.
Dean Renwick will speak on academic
opportunities and Teresa Artis, a junior En
glish major will speak about extracurricula
opportunities with the Carolina Union and
Student Government.
The relationship between the freshmen
and the counselors Is important. Counselors
f
Elson Floyd
take their assigned students on tours and
accompany them to all their programs,
Floyd said.
"I think Pre-O Is great because you get to
know some of black leaders on campus and
who you can go to for help," said Cheryl
Anderson, junior and a former Pre-
Orientation counselor.
"How much you enjoy Pre-O depends on
your counselor," Kathryn Pointer, a senior
dental hygiene major, said.
Pre-Orientation gives a person a headstart
on getting acquainted with how large the
University Is, said William Lenoir, a junior
who participated In the program last year.
Enrollment increases

recruitment of blacks.
The number of participants In National
Achievement and Project Uplift, two minor
ity recruitment programs at UNC, has In
creased participants. Many of these partici
pants enrolled at UNC the following year,
Wallace said.
"We have seen improvement in our prog
ram," Wallace said. "This year we had 300
participants in both our Project Uplift prog
rams." Although financial aid funds are li
mited, the recruitment programs encourage
students to apply.
With the expected increase In black fresh
men, the Student Aid Office Is doing what is
possible to provide funds for students, black
or white, who need money, Wallace said.
"Delayed payment loans and emergency
loans will be available to those students who
qualify," Wallace said. "There is an ex
pected Increase In black freshmen retention
at Carolina, but the (reduction) of financial
aid will affect it."
