NBCC relocates to Greensboro to
work with School of Education
Largest national certification boardfor
counselors chooses Greensboro from 350 By SUSIE DALE
Features Editor
The National Board for Certi-fiedCounselors
(NBCC), the larg-est
national certification board for
professional counselors in the
country, will be relocating its
headquarters to Greensboro by
March of 1992 and will be affili-ated
with UNCG's School of
Education.
The decision about relocation
was announced Feb. 23 in the
Alumni House at UNCG.
Greensboro was chosen from
350 alternative sites. One vital re-quirement
for relocation was the
affiliation with a major university
housing a counselor education
department
Dean of the School of Educa-tion
Edward Uprichard said that
UNCGwaschosen becauseof "the
quality of the Counselor Educa-tion
Program."

Development was awarded the
most outstanding program in the
nation for the school year 1990-91.
Other factors considered in the
decision of relocation include op-erating
expenses, community re-sources,
support for administra-tive
operations, climate, transpor-tation,
and central location.
Fred L. Adair, chairperson of
theNBCCboard ofdirectors, said,
"We are...pleased with the warm
welcome and cooperative atmos-phere
we found in the Greensboro
community and at the University
ofNorth Carolina at Greensboro."
NBCC will soon sign an initial
five-year contract with UNCG for
$1.5 million.
The money will be used for
services ranging from computers
to personnel, including assistant-ships
and graduate fellowships.
Chartered in 1982, NBCC is a
non-profit, independent organiza-tion
whose purposes are to estab-lish
and monitor a national coun-selorcertification
process, to iden-tify
to professionals and the public
those counselors who have ob-tained
the voluntary certification,
and to maintain a register of certi-fied
counselors.
Over 19,000professionals have
been certified by NBCC. North
Carolina was one of the first states
to use the NBCC Test ofCertifica-tion.
In NBCC's association with
UNCG, internships for both
master'sand doctoral students will
be offered as early as March or the
summer of 1992.

Delegates engaged in heated
debate during Tuesday night's
meeting of the Student Legislative
Assembly (SLA).
Although the main topic of dis-cussion
involved passage of a re-vised
Student Government (SG)
constitution, delegates expanded
the discussion to critique the way
the legislature makes decisions,
sometimes challenging the per-sonal
motivations of officers.
The meeting began with SG
President Jeffrey Weeks review-ing
the proposed constitutional
revision.
The new constitution, if ap-proved,
will further separate the
executive, legislative and judicial
branches of SG as well as give
slightly more power to the legisla-tive
branch.
Legislative Committee Chair-person
Rob Posluszny then for-mally
moved that the SLA approve
the new constitution.
Some delegates were not pre-pared
to vote on the document,
however, and delegate Keith Fun-derburk
moved to postpone the
vote until next week.
"Weshould be able to study it,"
said Funderburk.
Posluszny rebutted, "We've
had a week (to study it)."
An impatient President Weeks
added, "Forgive me if I sound a
little frustrated, but I wonder what
it takes to get a motion passed by
this body on a substantial issue."
Weeks said he had announced
the coming of the constitution for
months, open meetings were held
to discuss the new document be-fore
the meeting, and the delegates
had plenty of opportunity to ana-lyze
it.
Another week, he said, would
"...I wonder
what it takes to
get a motion
passed by this
body."
-Jeffrey Weeks
SG President
not bring greater study by the dele-gates.
"I've been with this body
too long to think that that's going
to happen."
Sophomore delegate Terald
Melton then brought in another
line of logic to defend a vote delay.
"For a long time a small major-ity
has ruled (this assembly).
"Now is your opportunity to
change things., and not to continu-allybebullied...
by those who know
parliamentary procedure a lot
better., and who are able to get
things done."
Melton also implied in his
speech that delegates who debated
for the new constitution did so be-cause
of their personal relations
with SG officers.
AfterMelton's speech,SGVice
President Eric Massaux said, "Iam
absolutely appalled at what was
said in that last speech...."
He then stormed out of the
chambers in disgust.
President Weeks followed soon
after.
SLA eventually had to adjourn
without voting on the constitution,
Mellon and Massaux apologized
to the SLA for their commcnts.but
tension between delegates re-mained.
