Lyons, An Eye For Excellence STATUS CHANGED Two presidents flank a queen. Joseph Lewis, soA president, and FSU president Dr. l.yons, display charm in the midst of serious topics. Joyce Grear, “Miss FSU, beams approval at the close working relationship between the two men. FROM FSC TO FSU When the State House of Representatives ap proved regional univer sity status for F"ayette- ville State College, that approval permitted the local institution to join the state’s new network of public-supported uni versities. When the regional uni versity system was ap proved in 1967, four for mer colleges asked for and received university status. They included North Carolina Agricul tural and Technical Col lege, Western Carolina College, Appalachian State College and East Carolina College. By the time the State Board of higher Educa tion issued its compre hensive report on high er education in North Carolina, it recommend ed that only one addition al state-supported col lege be given regional un iversity status. However, when one in stitution bypassed the Board of Higher Educa tion and gained university status , the trustees and President Rudolph Jones had reached the conclu sion that Fayetteville State College might be financially handicapped if it remained a college while other institutions of similar size were univer sity status. The word “college” was removed Monday night, June 9, from lex icon of state-supported higher education In North Carolina. Effective July 1, the in stitution will be referred to as Fayetteville State University.

I will not tol erate anything second class,” he said. Dr. Lyons also told the faculty and staff gather ing that Fayetteville State would be a “community- related” institution. ‘I am impressed with the number of persons that we have involved in commun ity activities but we must move on to structure some community related programs,” he said.
