Raleigh couple creates scholarship
Stall Reports

H. Glenn White Jr.. a Raleigh
couple, have made "ills and a
pledge of more than SKM).(HK)
to establish a scholarship fund
in the School of Education at
The University of North Caro-lina
at Greensboro.
The commitment was
announced by UNCO Chancel-lor
Patricia A. Sullivan, who
said it will establish the Joyce
Daughtry White Scholarship

Glenn, for their gener-osity."
said Sullivan. "Alter a
rewarding and successful ca-reer
in education in the public
schools and at the college
level. Joyce has now estab-lished
an endowed scholarship
fund for prospective teachers.
In doing so. she has not only
made it possible I"01 other stu-dents
to prepare as teachers,
but she has honored her alma
mater in the process. 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."

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.

Business students to immerse
themselves in French culture and
business environment
Staff Reports
In April a dozen people will
immerse themselves in the cul-ture
and business environment
of Paris during a wecklong trip
sponsored by the Center for
Global Business Education
and Research at The Univer-sity
of North Carolina at
Greensboro. 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. Ann. a
schoolteacher; Dr. Michael
Beitler. a UNCG lecturer of
business administration; un-dergraduate
students Heather
Cook of Pilot Mountain.
Caitlin Craverof McLean. Va..
Tometta Kemp of High Point.
Heather Konkler of Winston-
Salem. Carey Simmons of
Burlington and Maresa Sluder
of Newland; graduate students
Michael Burrell. George
Goddard and Krista Riley. all
of Winston-Salem.
