Not your average student
University officials are proud of
the type of students FSU attracts.
Gillis-Olion said the chancellor usu
ally asks during Commencement
how many students are the first in
their families to graduate college.
“More often than not, we’ve had
the majority of students stand up,”
she said. “We target that student who
might be leery of going to college.”
But the university has taken steps
to broaden its student base with the
formation of an honors program
just last year; 42 students enrolled
in the program’s first year.
Sharing the spotlight
FSU shares its status as one of
the largest employers in Fayetteville
with another looming force: the
military. Home of Fort Bragg and

Battle said he hopes the exhibit

order to remind black students of
Chapel Hill’s history.
The exhibition includes
many pieces from Lincoln High

located about an hour from Seymour
Johnson Air Force Base, Fayetteville
is teeming with military personnel.
Shari Williams, FSU student
body president, said the military’s
presence can be overbearing.
“The fact that this is a military
town takes over,” she said. “It’s not as
college-friendly as... Chapel Hill.”
Williams added FSU can some
times get lost in the shuffle.
“The alumni that do live here
have enormous pride for Fayetteville
State, but it can’t be seen in the city,”
she said. “Once you leave campus,
you don’t know that FSU exists.”

But Gillis-Olion said the uni
versity works hard to maintain a
mutually beneficial relationship
with the military in the area.
FSU has a center at Fort Bragg
that offers classes for military per
sonnel and their families. And the
main campus has eight-week cours
es geared toward the military.
FSU also opened an office at
Seymour Johnson that offers cours
es in business administration.
Gillis-Olion added that
Chancellor T. J. Bryan supported a
2004 bill allowing military person
nel to pay in-state tuition at system
schools and community colleges.
Working together
Town-gown relations have
improved during the years, and both
the university and the town can look
forward to new collaborations, said
Fayetteville Mayor Marshall Pitts.
“Dialogue is good, and it has
been for several years,” he said.
The showcase is open to the
public during regular business
hours, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The pieces are displayed'on the
first and second floors in hallways
and other open areas that are not
used for daily business.
“We wanted people to be able to
view the artwork without feeling like
they were intruding,” Dickens said.

Overall, Pitts said, the univer
sity is an essential aspect of the

“It’s one of our largest employers,”
he said. “They have a huge economic
impact on the city’s economy.”
Pitts said university professors
bring knowledge to the table that
otherwise wouldn’t be available.
Professors are participating on a
grant coalition team to get funding
for city needs. They will work with
city officials on a study to determine
the feasibility of creating a trolley
system in downtown Fayetteville.

the expertise, but to the diversity of
thinking,” he said. “A university does

Bushman expected a higher
turnout because of GPSF’s recent
outreach efforts. She has been using
online discussion forums and bro

She said she thought GPSF’s
e-newsletter, sent to more than
10,000 graduate and professional
students, would engage the hard

“I really thought that would

High expectations
FSU has set high goals for enroll
ment growth. Gillis-Olion said the
university hopes to enroll more than
6,000 students by 2006. In antici
pation of that growth, the university
has improved several facilities.
A state-of-the-art dormitory is set
to open next fall. The university also
is in the process of renovating the
dining hall, which will include the
student book store and office space.
And overall aesthetic improvements
to the campus are a high priority.
Williams said improvements to
both course offerings and the physi
cal campus are welcome changes.
‘We’re in a university communi
ty,” she said. “People live here, people
work here, people play here.
‘We have to help make this expe
rience the best one possible for those
who matriculate here at FSU.”
Contact the State & National
Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
“I think we’ve improved how
GPSF touches the lives of the aver
age graduate or professional student,
and I think that wasn’t reflected in
the election,” Bushman said. “But I
don’t think the election turnout is
an indication that we failed in our
attempt to connect.”
Only 540 graduate students
about 5 percent of the population
voted in the uncontested GPSF
presidential race, won by Mike
Brady. “People don’t feel they need
to vote if there’s only one person
running,” Bushman said.
Brady said the low turnout in
Tuesdays election will just force
him to reach out more to graduate
students about University issues.
“I’ll certainly work harder to get
the word out to them.”

downtown Chapel Hill,” she said.
Rohrbacher said she would be
willing to work with Lone Star,
provided that executives give the
corporation specific information
about when they plan to develop
the property.
But White said his company
would not engage in those types of
discussions. “We’re not going to tele
graph our ideas or the time table.”
Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy
said Thursday that the property
owners have been “irresponsible”
and applauded the corporation’s
attempt to get results.
‘We want something done about
(the building),” he said.
But Foy also said there could be
more than one solution.
He said the town would most
likely take a multilateral approach
in dealing with the problem.
Council members will receive
the resolution Monday.
Foy said the council likely will
refer the resolution to Town Attorney
Ralph Karpinos for review.
But Karpinos said he first needs
more clarity from the corporation
about its intent to condemn the
property.
“It’s not clear to me, based on
my understanding of the situation,
what they are asking,” he said.
He said that condemnation
could mean boarding up the build
ing for health and safety reasons.
But it could also mean the acqui
sition of the property through emi
nent domain, which allows public
agencies to claim private property
for public use.
While it is unclear what action
the town will take, Rohrbacher said
dealing with the problem is of utmost
importance to the corporation.
“The overall issue is that some
thing needs to be done with that
space.”
