Dialing for dollars during the university Phon-a-Thon are Dean Davis, Bill Nobles, and John McCloskey. by Louise Davii Academic and athletic scholarships, de- velopment of the radio and television center, student recruitment university promotion, and faculty development — these are the programs that give PSU its added excel- lence. Yet, state funding alone did not sup- port these programs, and that was where Dr. Richard Pisano came onto the scene. In 1983, Dr. Pisano headed the annual fund raising campaign to assure the provision of sufficient funds to give PSU that special dis- tinction, which makes it so different from be- ing just another ordinary state university. While the fund raising year stretched from July 1 , 1983, to June 30, 1984, the official kick off was held November 3 with the Annual Giving Campaign Banquet. The keynote speaker was Jeanne Robertson, Miss North Carolina of 1963. Prior to this banquet. $33,000 had already been raised toward the year ' s goal of $150,000, and this banquet added $16,580. Other activities to raise funds were the Telefund, which was comprised of volun- teers calling PSU alumni around the country and asking tor pledges of $15-$25; the Alum- ni District Leaders Workshop, which trained key alumni leaders to raise funds for the uni- versity for admissions purposes; and the Homecoming Weekend, which brought in some money through a dance, banquet and basketball game. Through the coordinated efforts of Dr. Pi- sano and his staff, PSU reached heights of excellence that would not otherwise have been reached on mere state funds. This an- nual campaign helped to enhance the stu- dent life at PSU. 26 SOCIALITE

Summer Passes Quickly by Lora Caudill Ah yes, summer vacation, those glorious months when there was nothing to do but he around soaking up the sun. Lisa Griffin spent her summer doing absolutely nothing that concerns books whatsoever. A junior at PSU, Lisa stayed at the Pika house during the summer and worked in Lumberton. I was either at the beach or babysitting, Jeanne Carter remarked with a wistful look on her face. Alas, some students decided to come to summer school and spend their tree days taking CMA 104, French, business courses, or just making up work lost through the year. Indianhead editor Sonny Kirkley and sophomore BamBi Marshall went to a yearbook workshop in Williamsburg with senior Mary Eanes, who was the assistant editor of the 1984 Indianhead. The excitement of travel in a foreign country occupied two members of the CMA faculty. Mrs. Grace Gibson and Mrs. Ann Wells journeyed to Russia on an educational vacation. Whether it was traveling to new places or simply relaxing in the back yard, summer offered a change of pace from the regular schedules of the fall and spring semesters. I 28 SOCIALITE
