Introducing
Miss Homecoming
Our Miss Homecoming,
Lettie M. Williams, is from
Henderson, North Carolina, a
junior majoring in
Elementary Educati()n. Lettie
speaks for herself, “I would
like to take this time to thank
you, the Broncos, for enabling
me to be your Miss
Homecoming and I will try to
represent you in every way
possible. Being a Bronco holds
in my heart great passion and
I am able to exercise my love
and dignity for Fayetteville
State University as your Miss
Homecoming. Homecoming
means a lot to the Broncos.
It’s a day deeply appraised by
those involved. I sincerely
hope that you will remember
me and that day with love and
dignity as fellow Broncos.”
FSU Has Largest Cluster
In a little less than one year, Fayetteville State University
has developed one of the nation’s largest College - Industry
Clust6rs.
Fayetteville State University’s College - Industry Cluster,
affiliated with the National Alliance of Businessmen (NAB), has
twenty-seven members. According to NAB sources, this is an
unusually large number for first year members and FSU has one
of the top cluster membership allotments in the United States.
The purpose of the College - Industry Cluster is to initiate,
develop and expand a cooperative relationship between
developing institutions, the business community, and
mainstream institutions: To aid the developing institutions in a
variety of ways so that their graduates can be better prepared to
compete for jobs in the private sector and to move up to higher
positions of professional and executive responsibility on an equal
basis.
Hopefully, this will provide an attempt to relate the broad
diversity of business expertise and resources - and the
experience of mainstream institutions to supplement and
complement the facilities of the developing institutions.
Participating in Fayetteville State University’s College-
Industry Cluster are Converse Rubber Company, Sunoco
Products Company, Kelly-Springfield Tire Company, R. J.
Reynolds Indsutries, North Carolina National Bank, E. I. du Pont
de Nemeurs and Company, West Point-Pepperell, Xerox
Corporation, Texfi-Lively Knits, Burlington Industries, Federal
Paper Company, Wachovia Bank and Trust Company, N.A., Rea
Magnet Wire Company, Cablevision Twelve (12), Rohm and Haas
Company of North Carolina Incorporated, Riegel Paper
Corporation, Sears Rosebuck Company, Aetna Life and Casualty
Company, First Union National Bank, National Alliance of
Businessmen, North Carolina Natural Gas Corporation, Carolina
Telephone and Telegraph Company, Knit-Away, Incorporated,
Hercules Steel Company, Branch Bank and Trust Company,
Carolina Footwear, Incorporated, LOF Glass Company, and
Veeder-Root Company. In addition to the industry members,
various departments within the University are represented on the
Cluster.
Fayetteville State University’s College-Industry Cluster
functions with four standing committees and they include
industry and university representation. The committees and their
co-chairmen include Jim Webster, Rohm and Haas Company and
Milton Yarboro, FSU, co-chairmen, FACULTY, SIIJDENT,
Management Exchange; Grant Bailey, Kelly Springfield Tire
Company and the late T. L. Reeves, FSU, co-chairmen of the
MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE and Mrs. C. B. Huff, FSU and
Jeffrey King, Cablevision Twelve, co-chairmen of Equipment and
Materials.
The co-chairmen of the above committees comprise the
Fayetteville State University College-Industry Cluster’s
Executive Committee along with Perry R. Leazer, FSU,
Chairman of the Cluster.
Each of these committees have established a set of goals and
objectives for the 1973-74 academic year and these include
projects to assist in university programs.
Tentative plans include a Career Information Fair to be held
in October, adjunct faculty program to conduct seminars and
lectures, cooperative programs for students and participation in
the University Advancement Program.
Cluster members are also pledged to assist Fayetteville State
University with research, institutional objectives, facilities and
equipment, curriculum, career planning and placement,
administration and organization, faculty exchange and intership
fellowsships.
FSU’s Cluster hopes to add the mainstream university during
the 1973-74 academic year. The mainstream is the third
component of the Cluster; other are the university and interested
corporation or corporations.
Mainstream univiersities can contribute different
organization structures and approaches to program development
not otherwise available to the minority colleges.
University officials emphasized that the Cluster concept is
not a one-way street. It represents a one and one realtionship with
the University and industry, both reaping measurable benefits.
FSU’s College-Industry Cluster meets monthly and these
sessions include reports of various cluster activities and planning
sessions for future mutual projects. It also provides and
opportunity for members to talk with university personnel in an
infiormal setting about mutural problems and possible solutions.
Induviduals or businesses interested in becoming affiliated
with the Fayetteville State University College-Industry Cluster
can contact the Development and University Relations Office,
Fayetteville State University, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301,
