. ANOTHER GRANT IN
WHICH PEMBROKE STATE
IS INVOLVED
Saata Qua has been
bery good to Pembroke State
University this Christinas
with the University the recipi
ent of two grants back-to
back.
At the biggest press con
ference ever held at PSU last
Friday (television, radio and
newspapers were represen
ted), Chancellor Paal Gfvens
announced in the appropriate
setting of PSU's new Media
Center that the University
was receiving a grant of
$145,829 from the U.S. De
partement of Commerce to
equip its TV facilities.
To make this grant com
plete. PSU must also come up
with $55,479 in community
matching funds. Chancellor
Givens said he sees no
problem in doing this.
The criteria for PSU's re
ceiving the grant includes
"greater participation in pub
lic television by minorities
and women." The area sur
rounding Pembroke will there
fore greatly benefit.
And right on top of this
comes an announcement that
PSU--along with Bennett Col
lege and North Carolina A & T
University, both of Greens
boro-have received a grant of
$33,000 to plan strategies "to
increase the number of mi
nority students ready to enter
college and who can succeed
in mathematics-based pro
fessions." The grant comes
from the Ford Foundation.
Dr. Charles Baas, chairman
of the PSU Mathematics
Department, is associate pro
ject administrator of this
"Access to Mathematics- Ba
sed Careers" program. Wor
king wjth him is Dr. Pete
Wish, assistant professor of
physical science.
The plan is to help Blacks
and American Indians. The
participating institutions feel
that "a combined leadership
thrust coupled with carefully
planned interventions will
nude a significant different*
for these minorities in the
targeted North Carolina re
gion."
How did PSU get involved
in this latter program?
Dr. Bass explained: "Chan
eel lor Gfvens called me last
April, and I went out to the
University of California at
Berkeley where a conference
was being held on this topic. I
also had an opportunity there
to inspect the Berkeley pro
gram.
Last May Dr. Bass met with
representatives of Bennett
College and North Carolina A
A T at the A k T campus to
discuss strategy. Each of the
^schools wrote separate parts
yof a proposal which Dr.
NeBeulae Watkins of Bennett
College put together. Word
came from the Ford Founda
tion recently that the three
schools would receive 533,000
to plan with. Much more
funding may be available if
the initial efforts proves suc
cessful.
Plans now call for the
representatives of the three
schools to meet in January at
a computer assisted instruc
tional workshop. Then in
February, 24 teachers (from
Mgh mi ?ftxu
grhools) will meet at ? site to
fee determined to concentrate
00 ways to improve students'
ability to raasoo. These wfll
fee teachers of mathematics
and science of minority sta
dents. Eight of these teachers
will come from the Pembroke
aroa.
' Later the three schools
hope to he funded to hold
Saturday academies for se
venth, eighth and ninth gra
ders; special summer school
work for minority students;
and ways to help freshmen
and sophomore minority coll
ege students do well in 1
mathematics and science
courses.
This is still another way in
which PSU is serving the
region- and the state as well
in helping minorities.

television facilities were (left

program.

A SEVENTH RADIO JOINS
PSU'S NEWS NETWORK
Last week we carried a
column note about how Pem
broke State news is heard on
six area radio stations.
Another station has since then
joined the throng; WYRU in
Red Springs, where Helen
Sanaane operates the station.
That station will start carrying
weekly comments about PSU
by Gene Warren.
WYRU, by the way, has a
PSU student on its broad
casting staff: Lfaa Pickles of
Fayetteville.
SOCIAL WORK CLUB
HELPS PROSPECT HEAD
START CENTER
The Social Work Club of
PSU did a good deed recently.
It took 35 children from the
Prospect Head Start Center
on a trip to Cross Creek Mall
at Fayetteville where the
youngsters enjoyed seeing all
of the Christmas decorations.
Now that's Christmas spirit.
BILLY LEEt PROVED HIS
SKILLS LAST YEAR
After reading those
comments about PSU basket
ball coach Billy Lee (three
players are no longer mem
bers of the team), one com
ment is necessary. Under
Lee's guidance, the Braves
last year won their first
Carolinas Conference cham
pionship. When he coached a
much smaller team to a 74-67
win over Catawba in the
tourney semifinals on Cataw
ba's home court. it has to rank
as one of the beat PSU
coaching jobs ever! Enough
said.
