PAGE TWO THE THE VOICE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE STUDENT BODY Edited And Published By The Students FAYETTEVILLE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE Fayetteville, North Carolina Published Three Times During The School Year STAFF BERNICE SELLERS _ _ Editor-in-Chief EUGENE POLK Business Manager RUTH McNAIR Associate Editor EVELYN JOYNER Associate Editor EDWARD HUNTER Circulation Manager BIDDIE DAVIS Circulation Manager LOTTIE TUCKER Reporter JAMES FAISON _ Reporter CHARLES BLACK CHARLES RICHARDSON __ Typist SARAH SAUNDERS BURNETTE BURROUGHS Typist IRENE WALL Typist MARY MEADOWS Copyist LOIS HAND Copyist JOHN W. PARKER Advisor Richardson, Smith, And Bell A month or so ago, three of our strong young men walked out the front gate at the call of Uncle Sam. They are Charles Richardson, a senior of Lexington, Kentucky^ Jonathan Smith, a senior of Wilm ington; and Genesis Bell, a junior of Dunn. They went to the draft board for induction into the armed forces. Each was active in College affairs—Richardson in athletics and music. Smith in music and religious activities, and Bell in music. Each only yester day was doing his bit in World War II. For the second time, they have interrupted their education in order to serve their country. Others will enter the service at the end of the current school year. In a student body of over six hundred, these men may represent “isolated cases,” but in the larger picture of students in American colleges and universities, they, unfortunately enough, are becoming more the rule rather than the exception. They signify the strenuous condition in which our country finds itself. They are a part of the host of young men who are making sacrifices in the interest of the red, white, and blue. Day by day our minds turn to them and shall continue to do so until they return to old “State.” Statens Three ''Go-Getters'' Three men, all North Carolinians and all persons whose education was interrupted by their participation in World War II, are taking it “on the double” to get an education; each is carrying a full schedule of courses and holding down a full time job off the campus. Warren L. Coachman, a senior of FayetteVille, works at Fort Bragg; Charles A. Stevens, a junior of Fayetteville and a soldier in uniform, does his chores at Fort Bragg; and Fred L. Truitt, a Fayetteville-born mem ber of the junior class is one of the three Negro policement of the city. All are married men. The Coachmen have no children; the Stevenses, three, and the Truitts, three. With these men a college education is a “must.” They are showing themselves willing to sacrifice for it. 01 CE JANUARY 5, 1951 Publicity Is Their Business VOICE staff in planning session with editor-in-chief, Bernice Sellers, seated second from left.

Letters lo The Editor Sometimes back, State's Student Council sent a letter express- fngr its regret for the recent burning of the Womens’ Dormitory at a near-by, sister institution—St. Augustine’s College in Raleigh. The answer to that letter follows: Miss M. Bernice Sellers Editor, VOICE State Teachers College Fayetleville, North Carolina Dear Miss Sellers: The Students and faculty of St. Augustine’s College sincerely appreciate your expression of concern about the recent damage by fire of one of the girls’ dormitories here. Fayetteville State Teachers College sent us $10.00 as a gest ure of good will, and this money has been put to good use in helping to replace the personal belongings of some of the freshmen young ladies. Very truly yours, Elijah Jones, President, Student Council Dorothy Jackson, Secretary, Student Council # • 9 Mr. Jonathan Smith, a senior, who was called to the colors a few months ago writes the following letter from a hospital bed at Fort Bragg: My family forwarded to me several days ago your card of inquiry. I underwent an operation Wednesday, December 6, 1950. I am recovering, but not too swiftly. All else goes well with me. As you know, I was sorry to have to leave the campus on such short notice. I am now private first class; when I return to duty, I plan to apply for Officer’s Candidate School. Several of my classmates have been kind enough to send me cards and to visit me here in the hospital. These fine gestures have made my heart leap with joy. Sincerely yours, Pfc. Jonathan Smith 95 Medical Battalion Fort Bragg
