w Page 2 Bronc Voice September 29, 19H9 Editorials From The Editor By Steven T. Ward One of the proudest moments of being a student of FSU occurred several weeks ago when I found Dr. Hacklcy quoted in the sports section of the Fayetteville Observer. He was asked to express his opinion upon the drug-ac^mia problem at NC Stale. Over the summer, almost daily, a story about FSU was on the front page. And accompanying these stories was Dr. Hackley’s picture. His image to the public is untainted; only good news has been associated with his name...until...several weeks ago, with the controversy over Dr. Lyon’s not reporting his employment with Morgan Stale. The headline of the article begins: UNC LAWYER TO REVIEW LYON’S STATUS. Beside the story is Dr. Hackley’s picture with the statemeni underneath, “It is now a personnel matter” Why wasn’t Dr. Lyon’s pic ture used for the story? Like a TV evangelist or poKtician, once a misdeed is connected to an individual the media never forgets. And it appears FSU had to ove rcome the same phenomenon. When Dr. Hackley arrived, he had replaced the old administration. FSU is renewed, vibrant with growth, and improving its self image among the public. To maintain this smve, FSU needs to be unshackled from the past. Shed the old skin and emerge afresh. Dr. Hackley is the new suit, letting FSU into the company of other well-dressed universities. What is the purpose of the Pell Grant? Money to aid students going 10 school. If that is so, why is the money given to the students at mid term or later? One answer is, the school is afraid some students will drop out of school and keep the money. Another reason, the government wants to make sure the students register for class. Still, there should be some way to help the stu dent. What good is $800 to attend the school semester in September when you get the money in Novem ber? This year, the financial aid office says the checks will be out some time in October. I wonder if they ac count for all the delays to come? What about a big football stadium? Drive around and look at the local high school football fields. Check out the football stadium at Scotland County High School, The place is enormous. It’s bigger than the whole school’s grounds. In the next issue, we shot comparative photos of football fields.

To report any cases of vandalism, please call 486-1295. In Bryant Hall, the Acting Assis tant Dormitory Director, Mr. Milton Yarboro feels that acts of vandalism “have decreased to some extent compared to previous years.” In the past, damages done to the dormitory included breaking doors, mirrors and windows, removing infofnii.'ion signs and light bulbs from the hallway, blocking commodes, and writing on walls and doors. Al though we are in the beginning of a new term, there have been minimal problems so far. “The presence of more concerned students as a con tributing factor has helped the situa tion,” said Mr Yarboro.

Haitds On Research for Juniors and Seniors Are you studying computer science, engineering, physics, en vironmental and life sciences, math- emaucs or chemistry? If so, you may be interested in the Oak Ridge Science and Engineering Research Semester (ORSERS). ORSERS is offering college juniors and seniors an opportunity to do hands-on research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee during the academic year. ORSERS is part of a nationwide effort by the U.S. Department of Energy to increase the quality and quantity of students preparing for careers in science, mathematics, and engineering. Participants become members of research teams engaged in long-range, intensive inves tigations employing advanced facilities and equipment Fields of study include artificial intelligence, biomedicine, chemistry, environ mental and life science, computing and telecommunications, physics, mathematics and engineering. While the emphasis of the program is on hands-on research, ORSERS also includes an educa tional enrichment component Par ticipants attend seminars and sym posiums sponsored by the divisions at ORNL and have the option of en rolling in a laboratory approved course at the University of Tennes see at Knoxville or one of the nearby colleges. Students are also encouraged to arrange for the grant ing of academic credit by their home institutions for the research semes ter According to National Science Foundation studies, by the year 20(X) the United States will not have enough scientists and engineers to meet its needs. “Manpower projec tions for all types of scientists and engineers show the future demand for these specialists to be much greater than the supply,” says OR SERS Program Manager Ernestine Friedman. “Experts contend that the gap is widening to serious, if not critical levels.” To be eligible for participation in ORSERS, students must be 18 years of age, have completed the sophomore year at an accredited U.S. college or university, and be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien. They must be working toward a degree in computer science, en gineering, environmental or life sciences, mathematics, or physical sciences. Guidelines suggest an overall grade point average of 3.0 or higher, based on A=4.0. While in the program, ORSERS participants will receive a weekly stipend of $2(X) per week, free hous ing, and travel reimbursement for relocation to the appointment site. For more information on the OR SERS program, contact Ernestine Friedman, ORSERS Program Manager, Science/Engineering Education Division, Oak Ridge As sociated Universities, P.O. Box 117, Oak Ridge, RN 37831-0117. The application deadline for the 1990 spring semester is Oct. 20. The 1990 fall term deadline is March 15, 1990.

This is a free service. For additional information con tact Dr. Leo Edwards, Director Mathematics/Science Education Center Let's Go Broncos! When damages occur in a room, the student assigned to that room is contractually obligated to pay for those damages. The question, however, is what happens if campus buildings are vandalized by un known persons? Who ultimately ends up paying for it? According to Ms. Iris Hunt-Smith, Director of Residence Life, “the rent is not a part of the state tuition.” If the tui tion goes up, the cost of rent should remain the same, unless rent raises are approved by the Chancellor If it is determined that a student or group of students caused damage to cam pus property, their account will be billed. When the source of van dalism is undetermined the cost of repair is usually absorbed by the University.
