Revels, Ret. | I PSU Enrollment I ops 3,000 i Through registration last Friday, Pembroke State University had enrolled 3,020 students for the fall semester, meaning its number of students has gone over the 8,000 mark for the second straight year. Students may continue to register through Friday. Last year's all-time PSU enrollment record was 3,061, but new academic requirements to enter the 10 University of North Carolina system schools, of which PSU is one, have made it more difficult to qualify for admission this year. Of the 3,020 currently enrolled at PSU, 1,084 are undergraduate students and 342 are graduate students. I PSU officials are very pleased over the high number of students despite the more stringent requirements. "This is our best quality of students ever," says PSU Chancellor Joseph Osendine.

The Bill reads in part: "Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Month of November 1990 is designated as National American Indian Heritage Month. And the President is authorized and requested to call upon federal, state and local governments, interested groups and organizations and the people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities. Princess Pale Moon, President of the American Indian Heritage Foundation, credits the Bill's passage to the combined efforts ofSenator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, Congressman Eni Fsleomavaega of Samoa, letters of support from many tribes, and the American Indian Heritage Foundation which spent several years securing national support and the more than 270 necessary votes. The foundation encourages Indian people throughout America to celebrate this national recognition thru a unified effort and to share with the non Indian society- the value and contribution Indians have given to Americans.
