FStJ TO HAVE
PRE~REGISTRATION
Title XX Special
Projects
The Center for Continuing
Education has been quite
active in securing Title XX
grants this year. At present,
there are three special
projects operating from Title
XX funds. First, the Day Care
Training Project which is a
continuation project from last
year and has a regional scope
of 14 counties. Ms. Joan
Sanoff, Project Director, and
her staff are concentrating on
two major efforts in this
project: (1) on-site visitation
is made to each day care
center to work more in
dividually with their per
sonnel, and (2) competency
dergirding each workshop-
course or seminar being of
fered. Currently there are 90
day care student registrations
in workshops-courses. The
total funding base for this
project during the 1976-77 year
is $230,999 with Title XX
contributing $172,249.
The second special
project funded by Title XX is
also related specifically to day
care training and is labeled
the “Consortium Project.”
Actually a Special Training
Unit in the Center for Con
tinuing Education receives
the funding to support and
carry out the Consortium
mission. Dr. Jim Edmundson
is the Executive Director of
the Special Training Unit and
is currently adding two ad
ditional persons to complete
the staffing pattern. The
Consortium was formed
through the efforts of Dr.
Edmundson and represen
tatives from five other
Universities (Appalachian
State University, East
Carolina University,
University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill-Frank Porter
Graham Center, University of
North Carolina at Greensboro,
and Western Carolina
University). One of the cen
tral goals of the Consortium is
to maximize the resources of
the six universities and other
agencies which are delivering
training to day care per
sonnel. Therefore, the Special
Training Unit at Fayetteville
State University is the state
wide arm of the Consortium in
The current overall budget for
the Special Training Unit is
$108,865, with Title XX con
tributing $81,649.
The third special project
is the Home Management
Social Development Service
Project (Teen Parent
Program) which is a
Fayetteville State University
service to local teen age
parents between the ages of 13
and 18. These junior and
senior high school students
participate in family life
education, child development,
parenthood education, sex
education and they are aided
in resolving the often diver-
sive issues within their own
families. They are assisted to
think about both the joys and
the responsibilities of
parenthood. Group sessions,
which are held on Saturdays,
are designed to help the “teen
parent” deal with family

Fayetteville State
University will hold Pre-
Registration for the Spring
Semester on November 8th
and extend through November
17th. Students will register by
classification in the following
order: Seniors - November 8th
and 9th, Juniors - November
10th and 11th, Sophomores -
November 12th and 15th, and
Freshmen - November 16th
and 17th. Students will begin
the process by going to the
advisor first where they will
be given a “Course Assign
ment Card.” This is the o^y
card required and it should be
filled out completely and
accurately. The student will
proceed to the multi-purpose
room of the Rudolph Jones
Student Center where the
class cards and financial
information will be gathered.
Upon completion of this, the
student is finished.
Beginning on December
6th through December 13th,
the student should take care of
all financial obligations. The
student’s Spring Semester
tuition will be calculated by
his pre-registration and the
student will receive a copy of
his pre-registration for in
spection. Students may
complete their total
registration by taking care of
the financial obligations and
the student need only to show
up for class for the Spring
Semester.
January 5th has been set
aside as the last day students
who pre-registered may take
care of their financial
obligations. All packets of pre-
registered students who have
not taken care of their
financial obligations will be
required to start registration
from the beginning starting on
January 6th.
Although this is new in its
present format, we feel that
this program will work
providing everyone does their
part.

Fall Convocation 1976
by Charles “A” Lyons, Jr.
This Convocation this
morning marks the official
yet to come in the next one
hundred years.
It would be difficult to talk
about the future without
taking note of the past and
commenting on the present. In
that respect, it is well also to
beginning of the centennial
year at Fayetteville State
one hundred year old in
stitution that has contributed
so much to the education of
youth in North Carolina; and I
am convinced that the best is
reflect on the fact that the
celebration of the Centennial
of Fayetteville State
University coincides with the
celebration of the Bicen
tennial of the United States of
CONVOCATION SCENES
America.
Those who have studied
history, know that it was the
search for a place in which
they could live out their lives
in freedom and human dignity
that led Europeans to come to
this country in the seven
teenth century. The risks they
face were a measure of their
determination to forge a new
society in which their con
cepts of their own freedom
and dignity could be tran
slated into a reality.
But ironically as Thomas
Jefferson eloquently ad
vocated that all men are
created equal and even as the
author of the Declaration of
Independence made his
eloquent assertion, America
had begun its systematic
program to deny human
freedom and to degrade
human dignity. As the United
States gained its political
independence, its com
mitment to human slavery
deepened. Even the Con
stitution, that secured “the
blessings of liberty” to the
founding fathers and to their
posterity, also carefully

General Studies
BIRTH OF A NEW BIVISION
Business Office
Iflakes Changes
The Division of General
Studies was conceived from
the dedication of faculty and
administration and is com
mitted to the task of im
proving educational ex
periences for students at
Fayettevill State University.
Since its conception, the
Division of General Studies
under the chairmanship of Dr.
Annette C. Billie has and
continues to provide in
novative and academically
stimulating learning ex
periences for Freshman and
Sophomore students.
The division encompasses
English Communications
mathematics, natural
science, social science,
physical education, reading,
and unique Recycling
programs in English and
mathematics and a Student
Services Center. Each of these
courses and programs offers
opportunities for critical
intellectual and personal
growth of students.
In addition to in
structional and counseling
services, the Division is
responsible for orientation,
testing, placement of new
students, course scheduling,
tutoring, providing teaching
assistants and graders.
The Student Services
Center is a valuable asset to
the Division in that it provides
assessments, tutorial
evaluation, counseling, and
placement.
A significant feature of
the Freshman English and
Mathematics Components is
the Recycling Labratory.
Students are referred to the
recycling laboratories for
individual assistance in
English and mathematics.
A special component of
the Reading Program is a
Reading Laboratory which is
designed to assist students in
improving reading abilities.
The curriculum con
stitutes the core of courses
required for all bachelor
degrees granted at the
University, and it is
specifically designed to give
each student the necessary
skills and knowledge that are
needed to succeed in an op
timum way in the student’s
chosen major.
The past several months
have seen major changes in
the Fayetteville State
University Business Office.
All of the changes have been
directed toward the goal of
providing students, faculty
and staff with increased fiscal
support in terms of a
streamlined efficient business
operation.
Development of the
changes has occurred as a
result of the efforts of many
staff members including Mr.
Frederick D. Jones and Mr.
Robert A. Foose. Mr. Jones,
who served as the Univer
sity’s Business Manager until
he assumed his new
responsibilities on October
1st, directed the initial im
plementation of both the
physical and organizational
changes. Mr. Foose, who
became Interim Operations
Manager with Mr. Jones
reassignment on October 1st,
continues to develop the
operation.
The physical changes in
the office include the removal
of inefficient office space, the
