The commitment was announced by UNCO Chancel-lor Patricia A. Sullivan, who said it will establish the Joyce Daughtry White Scholarship Fund. It will provide teacher education scholarships for stu-dents who have demonstrated a commitment to teach, excel-lence in the classroom and leadership skills and potential.

This is a wonderful tribute to the impor-tance of education." The fund is being cre-ated as part of The Second Century Campaign for UNCG, the institution's successful capital fund drive which has raised $55.4 million. "We need more qualified, committed teach-ers as we plan for all the initiatives and programs to improve our schools for all the students in the 21st century," said White. "UNCG has an outstanding teacher education program and Professional De- Jovce White this fund will help continue the tradition of excellence and pro-vide opportuni-ties for students who are prepar-ing to become teachers." A native of Mount Olive. White is a I960 graduate of Woman's Col-lege (now UNCG) with a Bachelor ofArts degree in el-ementary edu-cation. During the course of her 25- velopment School.

Board approves higher tuition, new chancellor Associated Press RALEIGH (AP)-Virtually all students in the University of North Carolina system will see tuition increases this fall rang-ing from S38 to SI22. along with increases in Ices for other activities. The UNC Board of Gover-nors, without debate or oppo-sition, approved the higher tu-ition Friday, along with a new chancellor for North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro. "We've been working on it for nearly a year, so everyone knew what was involved." board member Joe Thomas said after the unanimous vote for tuition increases. Under the plan, in-state un-dergraduates would pay 4.9 percent more: graduate stu-dents at non-research univer-sities would pay 6.9 percent more: and graduate students at the University of North Caro-lina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University would pay 8.4 percent more. UNC administrators origi-nally had proposed increasing undergraduate and graduate tuition onl) for state residents. That proposal was changed after board members said it would be difficult to convince legislators to approve tuition increases for state students and leave out-of-state tuition the same. The increase will raise $7.8 million for the universities. $1.3 million more than Gov. Jim Hunt proposed to raise through tuition increases in his budget. The board agreed to recommend that the extra $1.3 million be used for student aid. The tuition increase must be approved by the General As-sembly. The board also unanimously approved James Renick, the current chancellor of the Uni-versity of Michigan-Dearborn, as the new chancellor for N.C. A&T. Renick will succeed Chancellor Edward Fort, who retires in June after 18 years as chancellor. Renick. 50. has been chancellor of the Dearborn campus, one of three campuses of the University of Michigan, since 1992. The only debate came when the board was asked to endorse legislative action to give the board's student member voting rights. The president of the North Carolina Association of Student Governments serves on the board, but is not allowed to vote. Jeff Nieman. a UNC-Chapel Hill student on the board, said students did not expect board members to lobby legislators for the change. "This has always been a stu-dent- led effort." Nieman said. "We just wanted to have a little support at our back when we went to lobby." Support-ers of the proposal, which was approved 19-7. said student government presidents at indi-vidual campuses already serve as voting members of the lo-cal board of trustees. But op-ponents said the student mem-ber on the board is not elected by the Legislature, as the other 32 members are. Walking for the cure GcoOtej <;»rtn«r7THF.

UNCG students and faculty members and two local residents will take part in the study tour, titled "Experi-ence France." The trip is be-ing offered by the center, which is part of the Joseph M. Bryan School of Business and Economics. The participants will spend April 17-24 in Paris. They will attend daily semi-nars on the economics, politics and culture of France, visit French companies and tour cultural sites. "In the 21st century, managers will certainly be competing on a global scale," said Dr. Riad Ajami. the Charles A. Hayes Distin-guished Professor of Business and director of the center. "One of the greatest challenges fac-ing U.S. business schools is how to prepare managers to compete in the global market-place." The UNCG immersion program exposes students to different business environ-ments, Ajami said. France is a logical destination because the country is the second largest European economy and the eighth largest recipient of U.S. exports, he said. The center offered a similar program in France last fall and previously has sponsored study tours to Germany. Ajami will go on the tour with the following people: local accountant Toby Ham-mer and his wife.
