FSn The V oice Speaking For Ourselves NON-PROFIT ORG. U.S. POSTAGE PAID Permit No. 247 Fayetteville, N.C. Vol. 37 Number 5 FSl>»Afi€Tii\/Fc Fayellevillc Stale University Fayetteville, NC 28301 Internship Program Each semester more than 250 students from colleges and universities across the country come to Washington, D.C. to work as interns under the auspices of the Washington Center. They gain experience and academic credit for working full time in Congressional, Executive or Judicial offices; public interest organizations; national associations; or private businesses. The Internship Program, open to juniors and seniors in all academic majors, includes: placement; orientation, counseling, supervision, and evaluation of intern progress; academic seminars and group discussions with other interns; guest lectures; social and cultural events with other interns; and centrally-located housing. ^ The Washington Center is not a credit-granting institution; it does, however, function as an adjunct to the university/college campus. Students participating in the internship program receive from their home institutions academic credit that is equivalent to that received for an average term on campus. Documentation and evaluation of student performance in the intership are provided by the Washington Center and the agency sponsor. Internship placements sites have included such diverse settings as the U.S. Congress, the D.C. Superior Court, the U.S. State Department, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the U.S. Department of Commerce, NBC News, the AFL/CIO, the Smithsonian, the National Institutes of Health, Common Cause, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Center requires all students to enroll in one of our seminars, which are taught by qualified Washington professionals (attorneys. Congressional staff, policy analysts, etc.) and cover a distinct area of an academic discipline. Seminar offerings include: “Trial by Jury,” “Art Comes to the Nation's Capital,” “U.S. Foreign Policy in the Third World,” “Petro-Dollars,” and “An Inside Look at the Washington Press Corps.” The application deadline for the 1983 Fall Semester, is April 15, 1983.

Washington, D.C. 20036 ?02-«59-85!0 Improved Job Conditions A thin but visible ray of hope for the future of the nation's employment picture has emerged in the latest findings of the quarterly Employment Outlook Survey conducted by According to Manning Marable, a professor at Fisk University, the “Black Power” groups of the 1960's “has retreated from the vanguard of progressive struggle into the open arms of the forces of Reagannism, racism and economic reaction.” Without proper examples of black leader ship black children may not be able to enjoy many of the liberties their white counter parts will probably enjoy. (Page 2, The Demise of an Ideal) Manpower, Inc., the world's largest temporary service firm. According to the projections of over 11,200 employers polled in 347 U.S. cities last month, the quarter-to-quarter drop in hiring plans has halted, and a slight improvement is indicated for the first quarter (January, February, March) of 1983 when compared to survey results of one year ago. While slightly fewer firms plan to hire additional workers in the next three months than last year at this time, the number expecting cutbacks has declined markedly. Leading the improved job climate is a brighter out look in the construction industry which plans more hiring and fewer layoffs than in the past first quarters. Uncertainty about the length of the recession seems to be holding back plans for increased staffing in the first quarter, with only 14% of the employers surveyed planning to increase staff size, compared to 15% one year ago. More importantly, 15% expect staff reductions, down considerably from the 18% with similar intentions last year at this time and 68% plan no change in employment levels, compared to 63% one year ago. Commenting on the current survey results. Manpower, Inc. President Mitchell S. Fromstein said, “There is a trace of cautious optimism in the survey figures for the first time in the last six quarters. It is most evident in the drop in the number of firms expecting workforce reductions. The reductions must decline markedly in several key employment sectors, particularly in the construction and manufacturing industries which have been hardest-hit over the past year. While the number of employers planning to expand their workforce is the lowest seen in six years, the number planning no change is the highest in that same period. It appears that the downward slide which began a year ago has stopped.” Regionally, the South continues to offer the brightest future for jobseekers with a major upswing reported by the construction industry. While Western employers continue to expect slightly more cutbacks than increases in staff levels, here too, the construction industry and manufacturers of non durable goods predict an improved job climate. The Midwest reports a more favorable employment outlook typified by a sharp drop in the number of firms expecting cutbacks. This development was particularly evident in the manufac turing sectors. The Northeast continues to predict slow-paced hiring activity. However, construction firms and wholesale/retail merchants in this region report cutbacks to be fewer than in previous first quarters. Recap '82 By Anthony Humphrey In recapping some of the events which look place during !982 school year, much progress was achieved by FSU. —FSU received a grant from the Federal Government under Title III, which will be used lo offer new programs. —The Center for Continuing Education received a grant to offer a class called “Great Books of the Classical Age 800 BC to 500 AD.” This class will be held from January lo June. —A continued progress on the proposed increase of power for the Radio Station, WFSS, which included a new lower and equipment. —The Planetarium was opened which is located in the Charles “A” Lyons Science Building. —The construction of the Lilly Gymnasium for additional sealing. —There was an addition of the basement lo the Chesnut Library. —The parking lot in the area of the Women Physical Education Building was paved. The "Voice" student newspaper celebrated its 36th year of service lo faculty, students, and employees of FSU during the year of 1982. Though progress can not always be seen, many ideas for progress have been set for the betterment of FSU. Regulations With Selective Service A recent amendment to the Military Selective Service Act (Pub. L. 97-252) requires that, beginning with the 1983- 84 award year, any student required to register with Selective Service who fails to do so is ineligible for title IV student financial aid (Pell Grant, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, College Work-Study, National Direct Student Loan, Guaranteed Student/PLUS Loan and State Student Incentive Grant Programs). Among title IV financial aid applicants, men (citizens and eligible non-citizens except permanent residents of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands) who are at least 18 years old and born after December 31, 1959 and who are not currently on active duty with the armed forces must be registered. In a effort to alert young men to this new requirement, the Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) is including registration with Selective Service as an eligibility criterion in all its 1983-84 program materials. This eligibility requirement will appear in the instructions on the 1983-84 Application for Federal Student Aid and the Multiple Data Entry forms (CSS's Financial Aid Form, ACl's Family Financial Statement. Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency form and Student Aid Application for California). It will also be included in all OSFA 1983-84 publications such as the Student Guide, Counselor's Handbook and Federal Student Aid Handbook. The new law specifically requires that in order to receive title iV aid, the student who is required to be registered must file a statement certifying that he is registered. Therefore, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) is being developed to be published in January that would require students to file a Statement of Registration Compliance as a criterion for receipt of aid. It will be proposed that in the Statement of Registration Compliance each student certifies either the reason why he or she is not required to be registered or that he is registered. The Statement of Educational Purpose (already required of all title IV aid recipients) will simply be expanded to include the Statement of Registration Compliance.
