Page Six THE VOICE January, 1960 i CONCERT VOCALISTS Jerusha McCoy, freshman from Laurinburg and Charles Click, senior from Statesville appeared during the Fall Quarter in concert in the Seabrook Auditorium at FSTC. They were presented by the College Cheerleaders. A very de lightful evening of music was en joyed by those in attendance. Fraternal Groups- Potential Assets PROVIDE a homogenous social unit in which one may live a normal, well-adjusted life. CONTRIBUTE to improvement in character, scholarship, dress, social poise and grace. TRAIN for citizenship and devel- - ■ - op leaderrhip abilities of stu dents. FOSTER the development of close, intimate, personal relation ships. FACILITATE participation in ex tra - curricular activities b y providing a channel for con tributing to financial drives, entering intramural sports and campus government and by encouraging members to par ticipate in activities as indi viduals. CONTRIBUTE to the life of the community through organized response to financial appeals and through “help weeks” which in some colleges are supplanting “hell weeks.” AS A MEMBER OF A GREEK LETTER ORGANIZATION, ARE YOU HELPING YOUR SORORI TY OR FRATERNITY TO REACH THESE GOALS?? Student Government President Speaks When an honor is bestowed upon 31 person there are many and var ied responsibilities thrust upon lim knowingly anc unknowingly. First, and foremost, he is expected to be an example of prescribed ex cellence in his area. This is pri marily thought because the people bestowing the honor feel that if the chosen one performs effective ly, they are elevated also; but this becomes an erroneous assumption because the honor a person re ceives is no stronger than the peo ple backing. So, a united effort be comes paramount in the progress of an honored one. This year the Student Govern ment of Fayetteville State Teach ers College has made some prog ress in a desirable way, even though my deepest thoughts reveal to me a more desirable past situation. We should have had more support from the individual student. Since student government is self-govern ment, I realize that the bulk of the activity of governing will be done by a few while others are satisfied by-standers. Can you call this an alarming situation when some Americans have been by-standers since the enormous experiment of democracy was un dertaken? Before you begin to feel too safe about your position as a by stander, you must realize that you are a select group and the norm for you is and should be record breaking. In order to have a real democracy, you must make ample use of tools of the democratic pro cess. It is essential that you should practice democracy because it is very possible that you wil become an advocate of democracy whether by choice or not. To some, our situation (having manv by-stan ders), at Fayetteville, would be dimmed with bleakness but to me it appears as a sympton of doing better later in life. Taking all facts into consideration, I feel that my fellow students at Fayetteville State Teachers College have ar rived at the crossroads of democ racy and are showing they have the ability to choose the right course to take. —FREDERICK RODGERS President Student Government Westminster Fellowship I The Group . . . and the BAND PLAYED ON During the first quarter of the 1959-60 school term, the students of Fayetteville State Teachers Col lege were fortunate enough to be entertained by the “King of the Xylophone,” LIONEL HAMPTON. The affair afforded many of us a double opportunity to enjoy lis tening to a concert by this master of the xylophone and to dance to our hearts content to the strains of the most melodious music ever heard in the “lilly.” This most enjoyable evening will live in our memories as one of the high points of our years on the campus of dear ole’ F. T. C. One young lady in particular will al ways recall the evning with a spec ial glow because she was singled of the crowd to be the dance part ner of the maestro himself. For her it will be a highlight of her college days and for the rest of us as unforgettable memory. We’re sure all the students hope for a return engagement by the band in the very near future. This type of repertoire was right down the student’s alley. It was a shade this side of the “beatnik’s” taste, a slight distance from “rock ’n roll,” and the inclusion of many pieces, with a decernible melody, made listening to his music sheer pleasure even if one could not participate in the dancing. All and all, LIONEL HAMP TON’S night at “State” was out standing for many. —DORIS GOSS and MARTHA GREEN Westminster Fellowship at the Fayetteville State Teachers College, sponsored by the College Heights Presbyterian Church, held its first meeting for this term in the early fall. In his opening address, our newly-elected president, Mr. William Carson, welcomed the returning members and oriented the new members by citing the purposes of our organi zation. He further presented his proposed recommendations for the 1959-60 program. Since the initial meeting, we have met at five o’clock on every Wednesday and at the same time on every other Sunday. The mem bership of V/. F,, as we are often called, nunibers fifty - six; while our average attendance is approxi mately thirty-seven. So far this year, our activities have included: —Study Courses and discussion groups. Texts: “Nature and Mis sion of the Church” by Miller. “Youth Courtship, and Marriage” by Wood. “Marriage Vows” from Book of Common Worship. —Conferences and Groups. Par ticipation with other campus or ganizations. Synod of North Caro lina’s W. F. Conference . . . Camp New Hope. —National affiliations. On De cember 27, our president and four other students attended the 18th Ecumenical Students’ Conference on Christian World Missions. This conference convened on the cam pus of Ohio State University until Jan. 2. The officers and members of the local chapter of Westminster Fel lowship will continue toward that flexibility in our organization that is necessary in the fulfillment of our aim; that is, to reach the needs of each one so that his chance for growth and maturity in the Chris tian faith can become a I'eality as we worship, study, work, and play together.

President Rudolph Jones, second from left, chats with parents of several students at the college in the Lilly Gymnasium following the Hampton-Fayetteville game. The parents of our students were special guests of the college for the day. A Professor who had taught for many years was counseling a young teacher. “You will discov er,” he said, “that in nearly every class there is a youngster eager to argue. Your first impulse will be to silence him. I advise you to think carefully before doing so. He probably is the only one lis tening.”
