SEPTEMBER 28. 1974 Lyons Asks Community To Help FSIJ Emerge As Major University Dr. Charles “A” Lyons, Jr., Chancellor of Fayetteville State University, called together some fifty prominent and influential citizens of Fayetteville recently in the campus Student Center for the purpose of “planning the role of the University in the Fayetteville community and southeastern North Carolina.” Chancellor Lyons opened the conference by stating that the primary purpose of the meeting was to share ideas about higher education and its resources as it affects FSU. “I envision that Fayetteville State University can be developed into a regional university with undergraduate and graduate level offerings. The two main ingredients necessary for affecting change are planning and total community involvement” Chancellor Lyons stated. Dr. Barbara Zow, newly appointed Director of Institutional Research at FSU, is directing the planning process for the in stitution. FSU, 98-year-old institution, will celebrate its centennial year in 1977 and Chancellor Lyons stated that “southeastern North Carolina deserves a fairer share of the higher educational dollar in North Carolina.” The University of North Carolina Board of Governors is seeking to make the university system more responsive to community and regional needs, and by calling in a widely representative slice of the business, educational, military, and civic leadership of the Fayetteville community into planning sessions. Chancellor Lyons feels that FSU is moving in the direction advocated by the Board of Governors. In the first session held on the campus, many educators, businessmen, and military officials pointed to a number of unmet needs in higher education for southeastern North Carolina, in such fields as business administration, nursing, and education. * OPENING CONVOCATION AT FAYETTEVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY-Chancellor Charles “A” Lyons Jr. of FayettevUle State University (left) chats with students after delivering the 1OT4 Opening Convocation address at FSU recently.
