Mr. Antonio Isaac Monteiro, PresidentAfrican Students Association1526-16 Varsity DriveRaleigh, NC 27606

Dear Mr. Monterio:

We have reviewed your organization's constitution and officers list andeverything seems to be in proper order. You are now an officially registeredstudent organization of North Carolina State University entitled to allprivileges entailed in that status. I did have one suggestion. Perhaps youwould consider associate member status for African-American students who mightbe interested in your activities. I know you have an interest inrelationships with these folks. This could be an opportunity to include them.

Understand that your registration in no way gives the University orStudent Government responsibility for any financial liability which may beincurred by your group. Your status does, however, give you the Opportunityto approach the Student Senate with a request for funds, and it also gives youcertain on—campus solicitation privileges.

Please be aware that we ask each student organization to update its filewhenever there is a change of officers and at the beginning of each schoolyear. Failure to do so will result in a loss of registration.

If the Department of Student Development can be of assistance to yourgroup, please do not hesitate to call on us. Good luck with your new group.

Sincerely,

“MRobert S. Bryan, Jr.Assistant Director,Student DevelOpment
