1 Thursday, September 9, 1993 Winston-Salem Chronicle Page A5 Jniversity Officials Seek Support for Bond Issue .marks- moss l^-cfeSlatfWrter - The presidem of the University f North Carolina school system, in ,wn last week to campaign on ehall of a $310 million bond refer- tidum, told Winston-Salem State Iiiiversity officials that it was "high me" to correct the problems plagu- ig the system's 1.6 campuses by etting people out to vote for the end issue in November. C D. Spangler Jr., speaking at le quarterly meeting of WSSU's oard of tnistces on last Thursday, Jded that "grave problems" would ■suit if the referendum isn't pproved. He said the planned capi- J improvements would enable stu- ents to get a "proper education." If the bond issue is approved, /SSU will get $7.2 million to help ay toi a library renovation and the [jnsolidation of student services. jSpangler was accompanied by iiomas I. Stons, former chairman iid -rhief executive officer of ICNB (now NationsBank), who as agreed to chair ttie public rela- ons effort involved in getting the l^endum improved. Spangler explained that in the last three to four years, the N.C. "This is one of the greatest universities in America." — Cleon Thompson General Assembly has not approved any funds for the university system. The system had been getting $50-80 million a year, he said. "When school officials asked the General Assembly for permission for a bond referendum, the assembly authorized the referendum with only one dissenting vote, Spangler said. Spangler pointed out that the system employs 27,000 people and has 210 "exceedingly active" trustees, all of whom can help spread the message that the funds from the bond issue are needed. He also estimated that the money would mean the creation of 11,000 new jobs - "a very strong impetus for the Cleon Thompson state of North Carolina," he said. Storrs explained that the bond issue, as it will appear on the ballot, is part of a package of issues that includes bonds for clean water, community colleges and state parks. He also pointed out that the bond package has the "blessing" of the state treasurer, Harlan Boyles, and that the state shouldn't have to increase taxes. Storrs said that during a 1976 bond referendum, Forsyth County voters supported the issue, but the adjacent counties didn't. One of Winston-Salem State Chancellor Cleon F. Thompson's objectives, he said, will be to put together a cam paign that would influence people in those neighboring counties. Thompson said that WSSU stu dents will play a major role in that effort. The Student Government Association has already started a voter registration drive, he said. "This is one of the greatest uni versities in America. . . . The last thing anyone would want is to lose” that prominence by not voting for the referendum he said. In other business, the board swore in five new members, among them former National Football League football player Timothy Newsome, once a star for the WSSU Rams and the Dallas Cow boys. Besides Newsome, the board also swore in: Joelle I. Davis, presi dent of WSSU's SGA; C. Edward Pleasants, owner of Pleasants Hard ware; Montanges Kirby, a manager of Sarah Lee Knit Products; and, John A. Piazza, president of Sarah Lee Hosiery. ow-Income Housing Agency Receives Funding Jrhe North Carolina Low icorae Housing Coalition 'ICLIHC) has received $35,000 in inding from the Z.
