Page! The Voice September 30,1982 Sickle Cell Walk-A-Thon By Nero B. Coleman On a dreary day, September 18, at about 8 a.m., some 70-100 people par ticipated in the 6.2 miles of the Third Annual “Walk-A-Thon,” sponsored by the Fayetteville Chapter of the Sickle Cell Foundation. Participants ranged from 3-65 years of age and most were sponsored for as much as $20 a mile to as little as one cent a mile. Over $1,000 was raised for the worthy cause. T-shirts were given to those par ticipants and cold beverages were provided for thirst. Fayetteville’s finest accompanied the marchers with the greatest of attention to their safety. The walkers enjoyed the walk and, trying to keep pace with the older leaders, the young walkers were pulling up the rear. Mr. Robert Crouch, Sickle Cell representative, would like to thank those students and community mem bers who participated in the walk-a- thon and would like to invite everyone to participate next year to help in the raising of funds to fight a disease that is prevalent to the Black race. Test Dates For NTEL Aimovinced The NTE will be offered four times during the coming academic year, ac cording to Educational Testing Ser vice, which administers the program. The new NTE Core Bat,tery, which tests communication skills, general knowledge and professional knowledge and which replaces 'the Common Examinations, will be administered on November 13 and March 5, 1983. Specialty Area Tests for students com pleting teacher preparation programs and for advanced degree candidates in five fields—audiology, guidance coun seling, media specialist, reading specialist, and speech pathology-will be given on October 30 and April 30, 1983. The Core Battery and a Specialty Area Test cannot be taken on the same day. NTE scores are used by many large school districts as one of several factors in the selection of new teachers. Some colleges require these examinations of all students preparing to teach and several states use the tests for certification and licensing. All of the examinations will be of fered at test centers throughout the country. Prospective registrants should con tact the school districts in which they seek employment, state agencies through which they seek certification or licensing, their colleges, or the ap propriate educational association for advice about which NTE tests to take. The NTE Bulletin of Information contains a list of test centers, general information about the NTE program, and a registration form. Copies may be obtained by contacting Ms. Loretta Braxton in the Testing Office Room 222 in the Administration Building, telephone ext. 1204. i£CoM^M\Cs) Bus I BIQ BusiUfss New Faculty Appointmente The Division of Business and Economics at Fayetteville State University wishes to announce three new faculty appointments for the 1982- 83 academic year.

McCalop The status of the proposed FSU Chapter of the NAACP is presently unknown. In April of this year under the leadership of former SGA President Roy Daven port, a group of 25 or more students paid $2 each to form the chapter. No receip ts were given for these fees and at this time no membership cards have been received. The Voice contacted local and state NAACP officials to find out if the ap plication and charter fee had been received. Ms. Smith of the local NAACP bran ch said they have not received any paperwork or notification of FSU efforts to obtain a charter. Ms. Sharon Speas, secretary for Ms. Carolyn Coleman, N.C. State Field Direc tor based in Greensboro, told The Voice that their office also has not received any paperwork or notification about an FSU charter. She further stated that even if such paperwork had been sent directly to the national office in New York, the state office would have received notification. Mr. Davenport is no longer enrolled in FSU and could not be reached by The Voice for comment. *A merica 's Energy Is Mindpo wer" FSU Observes ‘National Higher Education Week’ During the week of October 2-9, Fayetteville State University will sponsor a series of activities in observance of “National Higher Education Week.” These activities are part of a national effort sponsored by the Council for the Advan cement and Support of Education (CASE). The central theme of the week, “America’s Energy is Mindpower,” points to the dependence of a strong America upon the strength of its colleges and univer sities. CASE and its 2100 member institutions undertook the “Mindpower” cam paign last year because they believe efforts to rebuild and strengthen America require the reestablishment of education as one of the nation’s highest priorities. The campaign is information and image-building in its concept and does not seek to directly raise funds or influence legislation. It is intended to be a high-level, concentrated and comprehensive effort by all those interested in higher education to speak directly to the public—locally and nationally—of the important con tributions college-trained young people make to our country. In addition to this general effort, the “Mindpower” campaign hopes to add additional focus by highlighting the important relationship between higher education and business and industry. Such a focus is necessary at this particular time since business and industry is now reviewing its philantropic policies in light of the federal government’s abandonment of many social programs. By bringing together educational and corporate leaders at both the national and local level, dialogue helpful to both parties will result. Like all segments of our society, educational institutions are faced with problems that emanate from the condition of the economy, but also from special problems that grow out of the student population flux from decade to decade. The “Mindpower” campaign will involve at least 1000 institutions in using the campaign theme and implementing some of the 30 major ways the institution can participate.
