Broncoettes CtAA Champs
Fayetteville State
University’s Women’s
Basketball team captured the
Central Intercollegiate,
Athletic Association (CIAA)
Women’s Basketball title with
a hard fought 63-61 victory
over the Trojanettes of Virginia
State College.
The three day tournament
was held at Elizabeth City
State University. The top four
teams in the Northern and
Southern division of the CIAA
were invited to the tour
nament. Even though the
Broncoettes of Fayetteville
State come into the tour
nament seeded only third in
the Southern division,
Fayetteville State was the
league’s hottest squad win
ning 12 of their last 14 games.
Largely responsible for this
turnabout was the return of 6
ft. 4 in. Katrina Owens. Along
with Angelia Newsome, a
returning Senior All-CIAA
performer, and a squad made
up largely of freshmen and
second year players, Owens &
Co. blitzed through the second
half of their schedule to finish
the regular season 18-7.
Fayetteville’s first op
ponent in the tournament was
Norfolk St, College the second
seed in the Northern division.
The Broncoettes battled back
from a 37 to 28 halftime deficit
to win 72-74, Freshmen
Katrina Bullock and Dianthia
Morris provided the bulk of
the scoring punch garnering
23 and 22 points respectively,
Owens added 13 points and a
whopping 23 rebounds. Next,
the Broncoettes faced the only
team that had beaten them in
their last 15 games, Winston-
Salem St. The game was
everything it was built up to
be as Fayetteville once again
had to struggle from a half-
time deficit to win 88-84, in two
overtimes. Bullock again led
the Broncoette attack this
time with a season high 32
points. Owens contributed 19
and 26 rebounds. The finale
saw Fayetteville against a
determined Virginia State
squad. For the third time in
the tournament the Bron
coettes had to fight back from
a halftime deficit. Fayet
teville’s second half surge
sparked by Bullock’s offense
and Owens’ shot blocking and
rebounding earned them the
crown. Owens finished the
tournament averaging 16.6
ppg and 23.6 rpg for the three
day affair and was named
tournament MVP. Bullock
and Morris ended as Fayet
teville’s leading scorers for
the tournament and were
named to the All-Tournament
team along with Owens.
Morris and Newsome
received All-Conference
honors and first year coach
Maceo Smith was named
CIAA coach of the Year. The
Women now are readying
themselves for the National
Association of Women’s
Sports National tournament to
be held in Hampton, Va.
March 13-17. We salute you
Lady Broncos and wish you
the best of luck in the up
coming National Playoffs.

Walking along Murchison
Road, the pedestrian will
automatically notice a
remarkable break out--
workers with hammers, some
stacking bricks or riding a
caterpillar for pushing down
the old Newbold’s walls.
Newbold was one of the oldest
buildings on Fayetteville
State’s campus.
According to the files and
tellers of history, Newbold
was built in 1930 and cost
$68,000. It had sixteen
classrooms, six practice
rooms, a cafeteria, a library
and a teacher’s gymnasium
and could hold 700 elementary
school children. It also served
as a laboratory for student
teachers at the college. The
Fayetteville Teachers College
was undoubtedly one of the
oldest negro institutions of the
south and played a major role
in the past for the black
community in North Carolina
as well as surrounding states.
It provided the academic
preparation for many
teachers who were to provide
educational opportunity for
the developing black in
tellectuals. The Newbold
School remained the nest of
some of those students who
spent their moments in it
building the black learning
potential. In fact, only
Newbold’s building is being
torn down, not the quality of
education or its efficiency that
benefited those who studied
there. The experience of
watching such a monument
being torn down should en
courage this and succeeding
generations to excel
scholastically. We should
improve ourselves through
higher education at FSU.
Newbold Building
Newbold has apparently been
razed to make way for con
tinuous technical change but
its specter and legacy is still
around and should live
forever.

GREENSBORO - Seven
chemistry students will have
the opportunity to do research
this summer at the University
of North Carolina at Green
sboro under a National
Science Foundation un
dergraduate research par
ticipation program.
The NSF has awarded
$13,970 to the UNC-G
Department of Chemistry to
support 10 w^ks of research
by seven undergraduate
chemistry majors between
May 21 and Aug. 10, 1979,
according to Dr. Walter
Puterbaugh, head of the
department.
Dr. Puterbaugh said
participants in the special
program will be selected from
current junior or first
semester senior chemistry
majors who show a high
potential to benefit from a
research experience at this
stage of their career
development.
He added that at least
three of the participants will
be picked from among student
applicants at colleges in the
region other than UNC-G, and
a special effort will be made to
locate qualified minority and
handicapped applicants.

Applications should be
sent to the UNC-G Depart

notified by mid-April.

and to encourage independent

porate interviews. This ser
vice is called the Student
TRIP Service,
TRIP, short for Travel
Reservations Interview
Program, is the service
Eastern uses to issue airline
tickets to students traveling
for on-site interviews.
Here is how TRIP works:
Once you are notified that you
are invitied for an on-site
interview, simply call
Eastern’s Reservation Office
and ask for the Student TRIP
Desk. (Be patient and per
sistent, this is hot a well
publicized service).
Tell the reservations
agent the name of the com
pany that invited you, the
company’s address, the name
and telephone number of the
person that invited you. The
reservations agent will call
the company to confirm this
information and issue you a
non-redeemable airline ticket.
The company will pay
Eastern for your ticket. If the
company does not offer you a
ticket and if you do not have
ready cash to pay for your
ticket, this service will help
you greatly.
