The popular leader's first call to work came when he was invited to give students’ views of the faculty and administration to both units. The articulate McEachern was very blunt and to the point as he told the combined group that they had to “identi fy with the students,” The SGA prexy empha sized the subject of the faculty understanding the students and dealing with them as they are, rather than how they have been said to be by societv, McEachern said it was time for the faculty to “stand-up for what they believed,” stressing that, no longer should or could an instructoi afrurd to cripple many students by allowing a faculty mem ber to remain when it is known that the teacher is insufficient. He told them that when a job became so vital that it controlled a person, then that person does not be long in education because too many youths’ lives are at stake. After a thorough teacher-student evalua tion, McEachern told the administration that they appeared to serve only as an iron hand over the faculty, functioning only to suppress uprisings when they occurred, but doing nothing to prevent them before they start. He added that it should be no problem for an ad ministrator to give a stu dent his grades or what to state what the student needs to take the follow ing semester, or anything else that affects his aca demic future. He said that a smile never hurt any body.” McEachern concluded his presentation by point ing out that if FSC were ever to rise to the heights of a great institution,then everybody on the campus, teachers, administrators and students, would have to join together and fight to make the school great. The two groups appeared to be responsive to his pleas and it looked as though it was absorbed. President Rudolph Jones and Dean of The College, Dr. O. Uzzell scan the dimensions of future building plans for Fayetteville State. Both seem to be pleased with what is forthcoming, but both have their eyes on making this year the best one ever on Murchison Road. Fayetteville State College’s 1968-69 academic year will be highlighted by a self-study, expansion and some new academic pursuits. President Rudolph Jones re vealed recently. The self-study is in keeping with the standards set by the College Delegate Assembly, Southern Associa tion of Colleges and Schools, which require that each member college make a comprehensive self-study in each ten-year period as a part of procedures for reaffirmation of accreditation. The investigation will in clude an evaluation of the college’s physical opera tions, faculty, staff and curriculum. Dr. Jones said that the college is expecting about 550 new entering students with the total enrollment about 1200, slightly higher than last year. Fayetrevllle State College, which has undergone rapid growth and transition over the past decade, will launch into a building program during the year that will move the college into what will eventually become the central part of the campus. This area is presently occupied by residential hous ing and the college has deeds for more than half of the 50-acre tract. Work is progressing on acquiring the remaining portion. The area is bounded by Cumber land and Langdon Streets and is directly across the railroad track from tlie college. Included in the expansion program are an Admini stration Building, Student Union Building, Classroom Building, additional dormitories and a man-made lake. Money for the new Administration Building was ap propriated by the 1967 General Assembly. Permis sion has also been granted to build the new Student Union Building, which will be self-liquidating. President Jones said that a contract on the Admini stration Building is scheduled to be let before the end of the year. Construction will probably get under way early in 1969. The Administration Building is being designed by Lyles, Bissett, Carlisle and Wolff and will house offices for college officials and administrative staff. The second floor includes a suite for the President and Board of Trustees, In addition, there are seve ral large conference rooms. Total cost of the new facil ity is estimated at $475,000, Conversion of the old library into an Audio-Visual Center-Learning Laboratory is expected to c(>mmence soon. Hopefully, this addition is expected to strength en the academic programs of the college. Dr, Jones said that the college will start full use of the new Women’s Physical Education Building and the new Science Building during the academic year 1968- 69, Also, during the college’s 92nd academic year, the second phase of the cooperative educational program, financed by a grant from the U, S. Office of Education under Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965, will be implemented. Title ^ III involves assistance to “developing insti tutions” with potential for making substantial contri butions to higher education which are isolated from the main current of academic life, FSC has received a grant of more than $88,000 to continue the program. According to Dr. Jones, this year’s award is approximately $10,000 more than for the 1967-68 school year. Approximately $30,000 of the award is designed to finance cooperative arrangements for Teaching Fel lows, They will replace FSC faculty members invol ved in advanced studies at other universities. The grant provides $8,500 for an academic coun selor for the college year. (Continued on Page 8)
