THE AIMS OF THE “VOICE” The growing need for recog nized journalisin on a college campus is just one more medium of informal education that our college must not overlook as a growing institution. With this thought in mind, we set forth the “aims” or platform of the Fayetteville State Teachers College “Voice” as best suited for the campus situation in particu lar. Our aims are; (P To bring the establishing a conunonbond of interest (2) To foster, sponsor and encourage wholesome stud ent activities, whether recrea tional or academic (3) To estab lish a closer relationship between the alumni and the school (4) o establish a coser reationship be tween the college and the com munity (5) To publish the news straightforwardly, fairly, and to discourage prejudice, selfishness and bigotry w’hereevcr they may latently exist. (6) To encourage a spirit of loyalty among stud ents and faculty to Ihis institu tion and to the responsible of ficials. OUR CHAPEL HOUR Have you ever given thought to the informal family-like atmos phere of our chapel hour? We hope that the day will never come when this school should ever contemplate the discontinuance of this custom. In keeping with the proxy’s constant reminder of “converging interests” of the “Voice” additionally admon ishes that the chapel hour is one of the strongest mediums of es tablishing a common bond be tween all departments of the col lege. Lets cite a few activities that make our chapel hour interest ing: The great variety of visiting speakers who let us know’ how we stand in comparison to other colleges in the matter of hospi tality furnishes us with a “cul tural thermometer.” The military personnel through their interest ing speeches let us know how we stand in our war effort both as a race and as a school (some of these speakers were either our ex-students or those who had had close contact with our ex-stud- ents). I'he quizz programs con ducted by the Gilreath are both educational and entertaining. And last, but by no means least, the straight-forward family ad vice given to the students by the Dean and the President serve as an appetizer for dinner. No one feels depressed after leaving the chapel. We are sometimes “rak ed over the coals” but the major ity of the students realize that advice received in chapel, next to good homes, is the best depen dable source of guidance because it is so closely tied up with the purpose for which they are at tending this college and paying tuition. “The Voice” advocates the con tinued good attendance to the chapel hour. And to those who have been slack in this perform ance, we advise that the class room offers you just one third of all the things to be learned at a college. The chapel hour sums up all of the learning. ROMAINE CLARK, Editor-in-Chief. “RELIEF, REHABILITATION RECONSTRUCTION” The Word Student Service Fund affords Relief, Rehabilita tion, and proposes Reconstruc- ♦ion for stu';^onts froni stnrlpnts;- The The Young Women’s Chris tian Association of Fayetteville State Teachers College is spon soring its second World Student Service Fund Drive. Any money raised through the drive goes, not to the YWCA, but to help our fellow students in the war de vastated areas of our world. The end of the war has not al leviated but rather has nmltiplied the need for help among stud ents in all countries w'hich have been affected by the w'ar. Cer tainly one can understand that there can be no real peace while students are hungry and sick, while they are being dispossed, while they are in need of books and supplies. Some cold hard facts regarding the situation are these: (1) Chinese students receive barely enough from government food subsidies to provide rice. (2) Over 70 per cent of Dutch students need hospital care be fore going back to school. (3) In the Philippines most ed ucational institutions have been razed, and books are almost un obtainable. (4) From prison camps, forced labor groups, and resistance for ces, students in Europe are re turning to their studies, but to badly damaged or completely de stroyed universities, and with w’oefully inadequate faculties. (5) Students in China who moved their universities from 1500 to 2000 miles inland when the war came, are now returning over the same hard route. The textbook shortage in China has forced students to use hand written copies with sometimes as many as forty students to one book! By now you are probably think ing of the many needs here among us which have not yet been met. But have we not yet decided that we prefer to be world-minded rather than pro vincial-minded? Have we not yet realized the significance of the expression: "It is more blessed to give than to receive?” Well, this is our opportunity to be re alistic about the matter and en joy the feeling which comes with the knowledge that we have les sened the intensity of suffering among our fellow students, re gardless of race creed, or color. Let us be happy in the knowledge that with our contribution we have supplied note books and paper for some students who would not have been able to ob tain them otherwise; that some boys and girls will not shiver this winter (it is not nearly over for many of them) as they did last because we heeded the sugges tion that we “Help mankind to live after we have saved him from the silent halls of death.” During the fii'st ten days in F’ebruary when the solicitor knocks on your room door or meets you on the campus and asks for your contribution, wont you think seriously of the pro found mission which is yours to help tjridge the awiui gap whicn lies between man’s material and his humane achievements? Shar ing our material pos:session with those who are in dire need will go a long way in closing this gap. No, these are not our personal friends to whom we are being asked to give aid, but they are even more than that, for “In as much as ye had done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” MISS FERGUSON ADDRESSES STUDENT BODY Miss Inez Ferguson, former teacher of this county now a Red Cross Worker, related her ex periences in the South Pacific to the student body in Smith Audi torium on January 28, 1946. The address was informal, en tertaining and full of accounts of interesting experiences. The high lights of Miss F'erguson’s speech included accounts of un healthful conditions under which natives of the South Pacific lived, their eagerness to obtain Ameri can luxuries, and the extreme cruelties inflicted by the Jap anese. Miss Ferguson is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. F’erguson of F’ayetteville, N. C. She is a graduate of Livingston College, N, C. and has done graduate work at the University of ^Michigan. CAMPUS CHATTER (By Wilter W'anchell) Flash! Hot off the wires! (^lyde Reid, first editor-in-chief of the “Voice,” having resigned his po sition to keep a date Avith Un cle Sam is now stationed at Fort Bragg in a tank destroyer out- fiL Mr. Reid was instrumental in getting the “Voice” started and the writer of this column is safe in saying that the staff and stu dent body appreciate his efforts toward this new enterprise. One of our roving reporters uncover ed the fact that Mr. Frank Weav er was very nuich relieved that Mr. Reid was specializing in “‘tank destroying” instead of “love-wreckers destroying.” It is out officially concerning Mr. Wilbur Hunter’s status. He is a cool guy, we must admit, (.ongrats, Wilbur—two always lived cheaper than three. Now Mr. Barnes, when are you going to get on the ball? Mr. Hawkins, the man fresh from the battle front, took a short vacation a iew weeks ago and re turned to the college with a strange light glowing in his eyes. It is the same kind of light men have in their eyes when they are suffering from battle shock. But there is no kind of first aid we can administer for matrimonial shock.
