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.

honoring American's tribal people.
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.
