Pembroke Slate's Kali Semester
Gets Underway Beginning Aug. 19
Beginning with the second freshman orientation
starting Sunday, Aug. 19, the fall semester of Pem
broke Slate University's 1990-91 academic year gct^
underway Aug. 19-23.
A busy schedule of school-starting events is on
tap lor both students and members of the PSl

lor PSU Chancellor Joseph B. Oxendine, this

"I am delighted and very pleased that the UNK

chancellor," he said. "I've enjoyed it immensely
and feel the same as when I first stepped on the
campus."
Writing to each member of the faculty, Oxendine
said: "I am eagerly looking forward to seeing each
of you as you return to the campus. I am confident
that this will be a most significant year for us all."
Because the more demanding requirements this
academic year to enter the 16 UNC system schools,
of which PSU is a member, Oxendine says:
"Students admitted lor this academic year hase
higher academic standings and higher Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT) scores than ever before. This
adds to the quality ol' the institution."
The second freshman orientation is scheduled
Sunday through Tuesday, Aug. 19-20, but the full
University school-opening activities are Aug. 20-23.
That slate of activities is as follows:
MONDAY, Aug. 20: 8 a.m. to 4
p.m.-Registration in academic departments; 9:30

Auditorium.

l ot the last several ye&rs, PSU has experienced
excellent enrollment increases. Last year the
percentage of increase was 8.7. The previous yeai it
was 7.2. And in the 1987-88 academic yeai, it was
?.6.
Because of the more stringent admissions re
quirements in the UNC system, this year's enroll
ment is question mark, but PSU is optimistic.

campus beautification project underway in front of
the D.F. Lowry Center and the quadrangle area,
PSU will have a "new look" for the estimated

new school year.
