CHANGE Throughout the years, Fort Valley State College has changed. Time demands that each of us change in order to adapt to an ever-changing society. As you look and reflect thru the 1983-84 Flame, perhaps it will serve as a reminder to each “Wildcat and Wildkitten” of the great change and strides FVSC has made, shall make and will make. c.

Looking Back to 1982-83 Retrospect 1982-83 was a year of highs and lows for the Fort Valley State College family. In June of 1982, president Cleveland Pettigrew died. Frustrations surfaced as the search for a new president began. Perhaps, one of the many high points for the Fort Valley State College was the gaining of a journalism department. Another high point for the “valley” was its football team. The Wildcats played West Texas State in round I of the Division II playoffs. Dr. Luther Burse was selected to fulfill Fort Valley State’s vacancy as President. Dr. Burse worked in the Division of In- dustrial Arts and Technology as professor and coordinator of Graduate Studies at Cheyney State University. A new president, a different outlook, a homecoming queen who is both “A lady and an Officer,” combines to spell a brighter day for the Fort Valley State College. Looking Back 1982-83—7
