Pamlimlffl Stmt* I /. /Vntm More Students Want Campus Rooms At PSU financial support and active en rollment." Walter Oxendine. alumni di rector of PSU. says this is a fine way to enlist the support of PSU's newest graduates. * * * $2,500 GRANT The PSU Performing Arts Center has received a financial boost for its programs for the 1982-83 school year. Felicia Turner, PSU cultural events coordinator, reports that 52.500 has been received from the N.C. Arts Council in promoting events there this year. "We are very excited over this news." says Mrs. Turner. "The money will be used for promotion and publicity of our programs in our audience development market ing plan." * * * ORIENTATION IS SUCCESS Over 100 freshmen attended PSU's second "New Student Ori entation" last week in what was termed a fine success. PSU in previous years has held its fresh men orientation in conjunction with the opening of school. This new program permits new students to become accustomed to the campus well in advance of the influx of the total student body. The parents of the new students also had an opportunity to meet Chancellor Paul Givens and other top administrators. The students particularly en joyed last week's cookout at the chancellor's residence. Such in formality provides the personal touch in which PSU takes great pride. ? * * MINISTER S WIFE DR. WEL LONS' DAUGHTER Janet Wellons Smith, the wife of the new minister of Chestnut Street United Methodist Church in Lum berton -- Rev. Ed Smith -- is the daughter of Dr. Ralph D. Wellons. first president of Pembroke State University (1942-56). During Wellon's years as presi dent. Pembroke State's fall en rollment was 99 in 1945-46 and ncv^f fr\ceeded 162. The first summer school at PSU was held in 1956 under Wellon's administra tion with 67 students enrolled. More students who are applying to Pembroke State University this fall semester want to live on campus than ever before, according to reports from Alec Price, PSU dean of student affairs and head of the housing office. "To date we have received 719 applications for housing on campus," said Price. "This is well ahead of the pace last year which was 742 at the end of August." Price said of the 719 applying for housing, 234 are new students. A $25 deposit must accompany all housing applications. "If a majority of these students show up, we will be in good shape for the fall," said Price. Meanwhile, the PSU Financial Aid Office says it is receiving more applications for financial aid than last year. Processing on a number of the requests has been delayed because of the need for additional information. "We have written to these people requesting this extra information." says the Financial Aid Office. From these two reports, the enrollment possibilities for the fall look good for Pembroke State University. * ? * SPECIAL GIFT As a special free gift to the 1982 graduating class of Pembroke State University, the PSU Alumni As sociation is sending them garment bags in which to hang their clothes for trips.
