THE VOICB CONGRATULATIONS ’73 TOURNEY CIAA CHAMPS VOLUME 27 NUMBER 7 FAYETTEVILLE. N. C. MARCH. 1973 FSU RECEIVES $22,458.00 FSU Seeks True Regional School From Fayttevllle Observer Taken from Fayetteville Observer By Hill Wright OV)Si>rver Stall 'Writer An effort to make Fayette ville State University a true university of regional scope and rid it of its “blacks only” imape received the full sup port of Fayetteville and Cumberland County high school officials. County Supt. C. Wayne Col lier and city assistant Supt. F. F. Miller pledged their assistance at a conference on the FSU campus involving superintendents, principals, guidance counselors and uni versity officials. University Chancellor Charles Lyons told the group he believes “there is a need in Eastern North Carolina for a larger higher education cen ter, with full undergraduate and graduate programs, and offering continuing educa tion.'’ He said he also envisioned such an institution as being ‘■n(')thcr black nor white,'’ but a school that •'■is not only open to all students, but ac tively recruits students and staff from all racial groups. ■•I believe we have here at p'ayett('ville State University the vehicles for accomplishing this,” he said. Dr, want COllK you your vou Lyons told the group, ‘-I this university to be- ■ the kind of institution would recommend to son or daughter, just as would recommend Pem broke, Methodist College or Fast Carolina.'’ “We know ifs not so now. We want to make it so. That’s one of the reasons we are meeting here today,’" he said. Collier said he would sup port the move, and would call on high school personnel to “niake sure the message is carried to our seniors. ’ Collier acknowledged that ‘•there have been arguments for black colleges, and for white colleges, but they have in the main been reji'cted.’’ “It is part of our new job to be aware of the new direction that things are moving in the Fayetteville area,” he said. “It is our responsibility to make students aware of that new direction,” which he said has “already begun.” “We want to make sure the unique advantage of Fayette ville State University are used, and make an effort to overcome the general as sumption that Fayetteville State University is not open to all students,” said Collier. Collier called on his school personnel to “expect Fayette ville State University to change radically within the next five years as it comes of age.” Collier said, “This is a down to earth effort to make sure the resources of higher education in North Carolina are properly deployed in the Fayetteville area.” Assistant Superintendent Miller, speaking briefly, as sured Dr. Lyons, “You can depend on us to support this sort of program.” Willie Bryant, director of admissions, told the group admissions procedures had been simplified to make it easier for students to get into the university. He said an intensive stu dent recruiting effort was being made in Cumberland County, and he urged stu dents to apply immediately after entering the senior grade of high school. Harold Nixon, director of financial aid, listed numerous scholarships, plus loans and work programs to help stu dents meet college expenses. The relatively low $426 for tuition and fees for a year for an off-campus students should make the institution appeal ing to local students, Nixon said. A year living on campus costs SI,315. Nixon said 00 per cent of FSU’s 1,647 students receive some form of financial aid. Your Attention Each student is asked to complete aCOMPUTERDATA SHEET immediately!

March 13, 1973 FSU Endorses Student Aid Chancellor Charles “A” Lyons, Jr., of Fayetteville State Uni versity had endorsed the student aid position of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), formu lated at a legislative conference in Washington, D. C. on Feb ruary 27-28. The AASCU resolution calls for immediate action by Congress on the student aid funds contained in the supplemental appro priations for FY 1973. Chancellor Lyons stated that the resolu tion was adopted because “an emergency situation now exists and unless Congress acts rapidly, hundreds of thousands of stu dents will be denied an education next fall.” In addition to timely action on the supplemental so that stu dents will know this spring what kind of aid will be available for next fall, the state college and university presidents meet ing Washington, D. C., also called for funding of the students grants and loans at the authorized level. Chancellor Lyons explained that although the Association supports the President’s request for $662 million for the newly enacted Basic Educational Grants program to help needy students, it is very concerned with the plight of the lower and middle income students who have been receiving assistance through educational opportuni ty grants and low cost loans, “In the face of rising costs,” said Chancellor Lyons, “it is urgent that, as the law requires, the grant and loan programs be funded at a minimum of $286 mil lion in order to help the lower and middle income students con tinue their education.” ■» ff % s S 5»; ?
