Chancellor Lyons led a host of FSU dignitaries, students, staff, faculty, and friends of the University in groundbreaking ceremonies on campus January 23 for a new $1.5 million dor mitory and a $260,000 Continuing Education Building. The buildings are designed by Fayetteville architects Mc- Millian & McMillian. The new dormitory is styled as an apartment complex in which the basic unit will accomodate ten students in four bedrooms. Each student will have a separate closet, chest and desk. Each unit will have two complete baths and a separate counter lavatory, a linen closet, a general storage closet, a living room-dining room-sized study, and storage space for trunks. The first floor will include a lounge of approximately 1100 square feet facing outdoor terraces on two sides.

The Continuing Education Building will be a one-story structure while the dormitory will be a three-story building. The Continuing Education Building will consist of two wings, large central lobby, print shop, library, administrative offices, offices for secretaries, and numerous multi-purpose rooms. Fayetteville State University already has a 2.5 million dollar classroom building under construction on the campus which is scheduled to be completed in September 1975. The multi-million dollar building is named for the late FSU Board of Trustees Chairman, Dr. George L. Butler, a Fayetteville State alumnus who was also a prominent dentist and citizen of Fayetteville. KING BIRTHDAY MARCH is led by FSU student government president Tommie Mitchell (with glasses extreme right) as they proceed from campus to downtown Fayetteville for a tribute to the late civil rights leader. HAPPY 1975 TO ALL says lovely Renee Wilkins, a native of Rocky Mount, and a sociology major. Renee is active at FSU and participates in the dance group. A REMINDER FROM THE VICE CHANCELLOR FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS YOU’RE STILL IN CLASS UNLESS ... In the past, many students have assumed that if they never attend a course for which they have registered, they would be dropped automatically. THIS IS WRONG! A student is considered a member of each class for which he has registered until he completes the course, officially drops the course or withdraws from the University. Please be sure that you have been officially dropped from a course before you discontinue class attendance. In this con nection, your attention is invited to the University Catalog, page 50, paragraphs 7 and 8 and page 51, paragraph 1.
