"State Of The
University" Theme
Of Convocation
Chancellor Albert N.
Whiting will describe the
"State of the University"
in North Carolina Central
University's second an
nual fall convocation,
scheduled at 10:30 a.m.,
Thursday, September 25,
in R.L. McDougald Gym
nasium. Chancellor Whiting
brought students as
well as gowned faculty
members in full academic
regalia to their feet last
fall with a "school spirit"
address last year. That
convocation was intended
to bring unity of purpose
to the institution's increas
ingly diversified student
body and faculty.
The chancellor has not
yet announced his topic
and theme for this fall's
convocation, but a similar
address may be expected.
Points that chancellor
has stressed in recent
reports and speeches in
clude the following:
North Carolina Cen
tral University's contribu
tion to the area's
economy. At the opening
session of last week's
Faculty Institute,
Chancellor Whiting
reported that the universi
ty's budget for the 1980-81
year will be approximately
$25 million, exclusive of
construction and other
captial improvements. In
cluded in the $25 million
figure is $18 million in
payroll, salaries of part
time, temporary and per
manent employees.
NCCU's need to at
tract "non-traditional"
students with evening pro
grams and offerings at
tractive to working adults.
The chancellor rarely
misses an opportunity to
point out that the number
of 18-22-year-old
Americans will continue
to grow smaller through
the year 2000. He has
pressed for most of his
years at NCCU for "new
delivery systems" and
other .effort .wach
students , who., , were';''not
part of a common pool for
which all schools com
peted. Dr. Whiting can point
to a number of successes
in this area; the university
offers a large number of
courses in evening hours,
a new evening program
will be offered by the law
school in January, and
many departments have
developed
"career-oriented" pro
grams and offerings.
Student recruitment as
a responsibility of the en
tire campus community.
Last year, NCCU lost a
few faculty positions and
a fraction of its operating
budget because 1978-79
enrollment did not match
the institutions earlier pro
jections. At the Faculty
Institute, Dr. Whiting
noted that enrollment
linked budget cuts are
made across the board, af
fecting each employee.
(They also affect, even
more directly, funds for
student activities. Those
funds come solely from
fees paid by students and
are thus linked absolutely
to enrollment).
Inflation as a major
factor in university
decision-making. Dr.
Whiting called for frugali
ty and imaginative use of
resources to meet both the
direct costs of inflation
and its indirect costs
the indirect costs are those
which arise from such
anti-inflationary measures
as hiring freezes and str
ingent travel restrictions,
bdth of which North
Carolina used last year to
slow the growth of the
state budget.
A call for loyalty to the
institution. In an aside in
his Faculty Institute
remarks, the chancellor
suggested that not all
faculty and staff members
identify fully with their
employing institution. He
commented that some
employees display on their
vehicles the emblems of
other universities, with
NCCU insignia absent.
A demand for im
provement in attention
and services to students
and the public. Chancellor
Whiting's prepared
remarks for the Faculty
Institute included an ap
proving notice of Student
Government Association
plans to seek better atten
tion and more responsive
service from ad
miftistrtttve 'offtcwVH,
called for a demonstration
of professionalism in in
creased courtesy to
visitors and students, and
urged staff members to
stay with student pro
blems until they are solv
ed, using telephones
rather than sending
students to other offices.
Faculty and staff atten
dance at the September 25
convocation will be re
quired. The hour is one at
which classes are not nor
mally scheduled.

By TreUie I Jerfers
Mayor Harry
Rodenhizer proclaimed
September as United
Negro College Fund
Month at the- regular
council meeting, Friday
night.
The mayor read the pro
clamation in which he
alluded to the outstanding
contribution that the
United Negro College
Fund has made to students
in North Carolina col
leges. The proclamation was
then presented to Dr. C.E.
Boulware, a former city
council member and the
N.C. Chairman for the
1980 fund drive for
UNCF.
Dr. Boulware spoke
briefly of the several suc

GOP Policy Committee Opposes Democrat
Proposed Lame Duck Session of Congress
WASHINGTON, D.C.
The House Republican
Policy Committee today
voted unanimous opposi
tion to the "lame duck"
session of the 96th Con
gress being proposed by
the House Democrate
leadership.
Announcing the action,
Chairman Bud Shuster
(R-Pa.) cited a Policy,
Statement which warned
that, "to date, 38
Members of the House
will not be returning for
the 97th Congress in
January because of retire
ment or primary defeats,"
and which added: "It is
conceivable that as many
as twenty per cent of the
Members participating in
a 'lame duck' session will
no longer be representing
the-Jviews of their constf
tufcrrtS.1" '
Citing but one of many
examples, of the manner
in which "The American
people are being disen
franchised by the stalling
tactics of the Democrate
House Leadership."
Chairman Shuster recall
ed. "The Foreign Aid Ap
propriation Bill (H.R.
7854) would commit $8.6
billion to foreign aid at a
time when Americans are
seriously questioning this
level of expenditure. This
bill was reported out of
Committee on July 29, but
probably will not be
scheduled for floor action
before the November elec-;
tions. As the Democrate:
leadership knows," he
said, "these programs
would be defeated if put
to - CQnrctfonal,'-'vote'
before the election simply
w3 I li- 1
':muu 'f """"' "!
o
because they do nctt ac
curately reflect the will of
the people.
"By delaying the vote
until the post-election
'lame duck' session," he
said, "the House
Democrat leadership, well
out of contact with the
people's will, would hope
to corral enough votes
among Docrate 'lame
ducks' wl with nothing
to lose ind owing
allegiance 3 no one,
might well be tempted to
impose their personal
philosophy upon the
voters who had rejected it
on November 4."
"In many respects
worse," Chairman
Shuster continued, "the
Democrat leadership's
,pretensQ,jEorj the need for
such a session s the direct
result, not only of its
recognition of being out
of step with national
throught, but of the
general ineptitude which,
after 25 continuous years
of dominating and con
trolling the Congress, that
leadership has so abun
dantly demonstrated. For
example," he said, "that
leadership claims a 'lame
duck' session is necessary
because of the press of
legislative business. The
fact is, however, that, dur
ing the past eighteen mon
ths, that leadership has us
ed its preponderant ma
jority to delay and prevent
priority legislation from
coming to the floor of the
House for final disposi
tion, thereby creating the
legislative congestion of
which it now offers public
complaint."
Summing up the GOP
Policy Committe's indict
ment of Democrat leader
ship and its 'lame duck'
pretensions, Chairman
Shuster quoted the follow
ing recitation contained in
the Policy Statement:
"The real reason for a
'lame duck' session may
be more cynical more
maleficent, than mere in
eptitude ....
"Less than three mon
ths ago, the Democrats
were telling the American
eluded, "when the facts
have shown these assump
tions to be false, the
chickens are coming home
to roost only the
Democrate leadership
wants to turn these
chickens into 'ducks.'
"Before the election,
they want to 'duck' the
fact that their profligate
spending will once again
result in a deficit budget.
"Before the election,
they want to 'duck the
fact that their budget
priorities do not include a
national defense superior
to all.
"Before the election,
they want to 'duck' the
issue that their fiscal
policy is to 'Tax, tax, tax'
and 'Spend, spend,
peopel that they,r likw spena-,,
Republicans, now-lievM rTfies are the tacts,"
in a balanced budget
.They proudly pointed to
the First Concurrent
Budget Resolution for
Fical Year 1981 which
called for a revenue
surplus of $200 million.
"They did so," said
Chairman Shuster, "even
through they kenw it was a
shame . . . .raising the tax
burden ... .by over $90
billion, (it) was balanced
on paper only . . .
.because it relied on
economic assumptions
which were blantantly
unrealistic.
"And now," he con-
said the Chairman
Shuster, adding:
"The American people
will pass judgment on
November 4 whether the
Democrat majority has
forsaken its duty to
govern responsibly. They
will decide whether in
future Congresses,
Democrats will again be
able to replace the
American Eagle with a
Lame Duck."
