Pickwickians inducted By Kenny Bazemore In a time of increased competition for recruitment of college students, a jpecial program nowineffectatECSU is not only serving as a highly effec tive recruiting tool for the University, it is also helping to prepare minority youngsters for college. The program—^The Mathematics and Science Education Netwo±- Pre college Program—brings 179 middle grade and high school students to ECSU each Saturday, to learn math, science, academic enrichment, com puter science and communication skills. ‘The program is a valuable recruit ing tool for ECSU,” said Alta Perry, area co-coordinator of the program. ‘The basic idea of the MSEN pro- is to gear these college-bound students to come to ECSU or, if not this university, to any university of tiieir choice.” Students spend five days a week attending the Summer Scholars Pro gram-focusing on math/science projects, computer training, problem solving exercises and accelerated Enghsh courses, Perry said. ‘The MSEN Pre-college Program BAN continued from page 1 smoke-free workplace is desirable, and it will become quite commonplace in the next ten years. It’s a policy whose time has come, and I have no prob lems with it.” Thome said that the school should set up “break the habit seminars” to help people overcome their smoking. ‘They should offer the employees these sessions, to help them overcome their habit.” The University should also desig nate smoking areas for smokers, Thome added, “so it wouldn’t bother the non-smokers.” “I don’t think this policy will go through,” said another faculty mem ber, who asked to remain anonymous. “There are too many smokers out there, and they won’t support this policy.” “My office is my space. Students come to my office for additional help, and if they know I smoke, and it’s initating to them we can talk immedi- iately after class, in that classroom. ; “But if they come to my office, which again I stress is my space, I will is for targeted students with an ex pressed interest in, or demonstrated potential for, success in mathematics and science careers,” she added. The program ’ s goals are to increase the number of participating students who complete Algebra I by the 9th grade and enroll in geometry in the 10th grade; and to increase the num ber of participating school graduates who have completed four college preparatory credits in mathematics and English, and three in science (includ ing chemistry and physics) Perry said the program began after a series of studies revealed that “the serious underrepresentation of minori ties and females in 6th-12th grade mathematics and science courses.” In response to this dilemma the UNC Mathematics and Science Edu cation Network (MSEN) develop>ed the MSEN I*re-college Program dur ing the 1986-87 school year at Eliza beth City State University. This program draws students from five Northeastern North Carolina counties: Chowan, Camden, Gates, Pasquotank and Perquimans. In addi tion to taking academic classes, stu dents also attend Academic Enrich ment Class—a daily, elective class at smoke my cigarettes.” “We talk about a free academic environment, where teachers and stu dents have freedom. This is one thing that I feel I’m free to do, while being academic.” Another faculty member said that the ban was not being enacted with any consideration for the rights of smokers. “It bothers me to no end that we have an administration that has gone through years and years of struggle, knowing how it is to be the minority, now in the position of authority, and having no mercy or sensitivity to the new minority, the smokers on cam pus.” “And how are we going to deal with those who violate the ban,” the instructor continued. “Are we going to tow them away like we cars?” TV continued from page! operate it.” Goodwin also praised the students who work with the committee, Dwayne Collins and Chukundi Salis- each middle school or junior high school participating in the program, and receive “academic, university and career counseling to guide them to ward educational and career objec tives,” according to Perry. The Academic enrichment classes and tutoring are conducted by “pro fessionals, peers, university students and community members,” Perry also said. Perry said students also listen to speeches presented by “role model speakers who are successful gradu ates of ECSU” and go on field trip to expose them to the world of people and work. In addition. Students also attend independent study groups to help them study and learn together, she added. TTie program ’ s ratio of girls to boys is 63%-37%, Perry said. The MSEN Pre-college program is currently implemented at sbc sites: Elizabeth City State University, Fayetteville State University, NC A&T University-Greensboro, theRe- search TriangleConsortium-NC State (NCSU and St. Augustine College) and the Research Triangle Consor tium (UNC-CH, NCCU andNCCSM) and at UNC-Charlotte. bury. School officials say the introduc tion of this television production is long overdue in comparison to ECSU’s sister schools such as Hampton Uni versity and Norfolk State, and offi cials say the program will give stu dents opportunities that were previ ously unavailable. “I think it’s a great opportunity for those students who have been longing for some practical experience in tele vision production” said Edith Lee, General manager of WRVS-FM Radio. “This effort is the first step in the building of E.C.S.U.’s communica tion program,” said Velma Brown, lecturer in the Department of Lan guage, Literature and Communica tion. The Television Committee mem bers are Chukundi Salisbury, Junior; Dwayne Collins, Senior; Edith Lee; Velma Brown; Roger McLean; Shel ton Spence; Shelia A. Johnson; and Cornelius Goodwin. Students interested in joining the Television Committee should contact Edith Lee of WRVS at exL 517 or Chukundi Salisbury, 139 Butler Hall. RENEL continued from page 1 “I think Renel Sample will func tion very well as our SGA president,” said James Sims, a sophomore. “He gets around well on campus and en joys mingling with the students.” “Renel Sample is a dynamic leader and he’s the right man to carry us into our Centennial year,” said Chukundi Salisbury, a junior. Sample said he plans to keep in touch with students by mingling with them and continuing with his former activities. “I will continue to be a disc jockey, work at WRVS, and play basketball games,”he said. Although Sample plans to attend graduate school and become a suc cessful entrepreneur in the future, he is content now with being the best SGA president he can be. “I honestly believe I can be effec tive as the SGA president,” he said, “and with the students’ support we can make the The Pickwick Honor Society in ducted 14 new members on April 18th, 1990. Membership in the honor soci ety is by invitation only; however inductees must have an overall grade point average of 2.75 and have “dis played extraordinary service to either the University or the Department of Language, Literature and Communi cation,” according to the Society’s president, Richard Mclntire.
