Pembroke State University Chancellor Paul Givens
presented a 12-year PSU Campus Development Flan to the
PSU Board of Trustees at their recent meeting, and the
Trustees gave the plan their enthusiastic approval.
The plan, projecting PSlTs enrollment will continue at the
current 7 percent annual rate to the year 2000, predicts
Pembroke State will have an enrollment of 5. 932 students of
which 5,406 will be undergraduate students and 627 will be
graduate students. This would represent a growth rate over
this 12-year period of 109 percent, said Chancellor Givens.
Hie enrollment for the past fall semester at PSU was a
record 2,645--of which 2,231 were undergraduate students and
414 were graduate students.
"Assuming a 7 percent increase each year for the next 12
years, we would more llian double our enrollment," said
Chancellor Givens. "If this kind of growth takes place, wc will
need Ihese kind of facilities and additional land acquisition."
lie then outlined campus development needs plus needs for
ivnovatinns and land inquisitions
"I am excited about Ibis and believe it is a plan lltal
anticipates Ibe growth and the changes this campus
? etpiires," said (Thanceflor Givens, who put the plan together
with the assistance of the four 1 *SII vice chancellors and oilier
staff mcmhers.

is one of the fastest growing institutions in the UNC System.
Wayne Evans of Laurinburg, vice chairman of the PSU
Board of Trustees, commented that he has served in
economic development in this area for eight years and said he

conservative" in his opinion. Evans said he expects PSU to

LIMITED ACCESS HJGHWA Y TO PSU DISCUSSED
At the Trustee meeting Ira Pate Lowry, trustee from
Pembroke, brought up the problem that the railroad traffic
adjacent to PSU causes for the institution.
Chancellor Givens. who is on the board of the Indian
Cultural Center near Pembroke, said he had discussed with
members of that board and others the need for a "limited
access road" to Pembroke.
"Hut road would clear (by bridge) the railroad track, giving
us access to Interstate 95 and U.S. 74," said Givens. adding,
"It would be tragic now if we had a fire, and the railroad
blocked aid to us."
GIVENS COMMENTS ON ROLE OF UNIVERSITY
IN SOCIAL REFORM
As in his remarks at the final general faculty meeting of they
year, Chancellor Givens repeated his feelings about the
University's role in social reform to the Trustees, saying:
"Hie year has raised some interesting and provocative
questions as to the function of a University, especially relating
to the University's role in social reform. I hope that discontent
within our society never causes us to weaken or distort our
pursuit of truth, understanding and our creative and critical
search for solutions to social problems.
"I have said on numerous occasions that no institution
means more to the area it serves than does Pembroke State. I
mean this. It is meant to refer not only to our mission to
transmit knowledge and skills, but to our leadership in
promoting the use of reason in solving problems, whether they
are problems of the person or problems of society."
Givens said the events of this year "should make us even
more resolute in our beliefs in open and free communication
and the pursuit of 'the true, the beautiful and the good.'"

Windburn...Sunburn
While enjoying the warm summer weather, give
your skin the sensible protection it needs.
Wind, combined with heat and humidity,
intensifies the effects of broiling sunrays. It zaps the
skin of moisture, often producing the red, raw
symptoms of Witidburn.
Create a barrier against summertime abrasion
with petroleum jelly, or another oil- based ointment.
And be sure to use a Pharmacy Sunscreen when
you plan time outside. Wear the healthy glow of a
summer tan, not the scarlet shock of a boiled lobster!

I was shocked. Then I

they are." _
They chose Forethoughts
funeral planning My first reaction was,
"What's the nurry?" But, the way they explained it
in the letter made me aware of all the responsibility
I would have if things weren't planned in advance.
I'd have to make more decisions in a couple of days
than I make in a month here at the office... and all
without sufficient information, not to mention the
emotional stress.
Forethought is funeral planning...
before the need arises
I'm not saying I agree with all their choices, but I
think it's more important that the choices be theirs.
At least this way there's no doubt because they
planned it with Forethought funeral planning and
paid for it with the Forethought life insurance policy
designed and approved specifically for Forethought.
And, because they're both between 40 and 90 years
old, they couldn't be turned down for any reason. Now
there won't be any confusion or rush when the time
comes. I think they did a very loving thing and I'm
going to call them right now to tell them thanks...
and that 1 love them.
