Buildings And Grounds After Fayetteville State Teach ers College was established in 1867, there was one-two-story building. LTpper-levfel classes were conduct ed in the three second-story rooms of the building with the lower floor reserved for the primary grades. “After twenty-five years in this Gillespie Street Building, the school was moved to Ashley Heights, a mile west of its first lo cation, and four year later it was returned to the city and was locat ed for two years in a rented hall on Worth Street.” The present Murchison Road site originally consisted of fifty acres, but has been increased to ninety-two acres through gifts of adjacent land by the late Dr. and Mrs. E. E. Smith. The presidents of Fayetteville State Teachers College have con ducted a program of expansion and with the help of trustees and the support of the State Legislature, the College now has many modern buildings and facilities.

Zeta Zest This has been a year of ACTION for the Omega Beta Chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Our activities ranged all the way from small details such as the reorgan ization of our chapter materials and redecoration of our “Worm Room,” to the entertainment of our Grand Basileus, Dr. Deborah P. Wolfe. Our program really began in high gear with the Boule which was held during the Christmas holidays at Winston-Salem Teach ers College, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This gave our neophytes an opportunity to reaUy see the ideals of Zeta in action on the in ternational level. Happy were those who were fortunate enough to appear with the Grand Basileus on television and in the local Winston-Salem newspapers. The final week-end in February was truly one of action. It began Saturday with the ninth annual Zetalite Teenagers Ball. This ac tivity is sponsored jointly by mem bers of the Gamma Upsilon Zeta and Omega Beta Chapters of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and the Zeta Beta Sigma and Pi Chap ters of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. Many thought that this ball was even better than the ones held in previous years. Forty charming, lovely, and poised young ladies were formally presented to society. These young ladies had attended a series of Charm Schools to en hance their natural beauties, and their decorum at the Zetalite BaU showed that they had learned their lesson well. The beautiful Queen, Miss Shirley Jackson, a senior at Oak Ridge High School, Lumber Bridge, North Carolina, received a $100.00 scholarship to the college of her choice. Runners-up were Miss Judith Wilkins, of Fayette ville, N. C., Jo Anne McNeil, Lum- berton, N. C. and Thetis La June Geralds, Fayetteville, N. C. The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority has as one of its ideals, “Finer Wom anhood,” therefore the celebration of Finer Womanhood has become obligatory for all chapters of Zeta all over the world. It was for this observance that our Grand Basil eus was present on Sunday, Feb ruary 25th. So Sunday found us at the sta tion awaiting the arrival of our Grand Basileus, Dr. Deborah P. Wolfe. Honorable Mayor Robert Butler was gracious enough to join the delegation of Zetas who welcomed Soror Wolfe at the sta tion. After that the agenda in cluded breakfast at the lovely home of Brother and Soror Rob inson, a tour of the city and Fort Bragg, dinner on campus with vis iting sorors from Elizabeth City State Teachers College, and finally Vesper Services which was the crowning feature of week-end acti vities. The theme for this year’s service was “Achieving Finer Womanhood in a Challenging Democracy.” All the years of training and exper ience seem to have been evident in the dynamic speech delivered by our “Grand.” Certainly, all of us must say that we have never witnessed one which excelled it in thought and deliverance. We were very happy to have had Sorors from Florence, South Caro lina who had left after their own observance of “Finer Womanhood AKA Highlights “Let’s Begin This Year With A Bang,” said the sorors of Delta Alpha Chapter of Alpha Kappa Al pha Sorority. We hope you too are in the same vein. We have antici pated and vnU be anticipating some rewarding experiences. FOUNDERS’ DAY On the morning of February 11, we held a workshop with Soror Lucille Piggot, Mid-Atlantic Re gional Director of Alpha Kappa Al pha Sorority. This experience was most delightful to the sorors of Delta Alpha. Vespers was the highlight of that day. Soror Piggot was guest speaker. She spoke on the subject: “Freedom is a Responsibility.” In her speech she conveyed the idea that with each new freedom there comes responsibility. We were most delighted to have her come and bring us these most enlighten ing remarks. EXTENDING OUR INTERESTS During the weekend of .April 29, two of our sorors will attend the Ninth Annual Regional Conference of the Mid-Atlantic Region which will convene in Wilmington, North Carolina. This promises to be a meaningful affair. In this light we hope to have more rewarding experiences throughou the remaining year. The members of Delta Alpha ex tend to you a special wish that your school year continues to be a successful one. Reporter, Wilma Clanton Advisor, Mrs. M. T. Eldridge Week” in order to hear the Grand. Also present was our National Treasurer, Soror Lockhart, prin cipal of a school in Raleigh, North Carolina. Much commendation is due to the members of the college choir and the directress, Mrs. Eld ridge, for their contribution to the success of the program. The choir rendered two beautiful numbers, “Ye Watchers and Ye Holy One,” and “Soon-A WiU Be Done.” (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4) JOHN WESLEY METHODIST FELLOWSHIP GROUP at work under advisory of Mrs. W. M. Gannaway. Delta XI News The Delta Xi Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority welcomes all newcomers into the college family here at Fayetteville State Teach ers College. We are hoping that you have already entered into the spirit of academic progress. As today’s society is continuous ly changing, we realize that our positions in society are being chal lenged greater as time goes by. It is our duty to prepare ourselves to face and meet the standards for achieving the higher goals of life. In addition to preparing ourselves, we must help to prepare our fel- lowman. We are proud to join with other Deltas over the world in aiming for this goal. We are especially proud of our national projects. Delta is working diligently to help correct southern injustices. During the Christmas holidays Deltas entertained the many teenagers of Mississippi who were behind bars after attempting to fight for their rights. Now we are providing tuition for many southern students who were barred from segregated schools. The undergraduate chapter is proud of the project being carried out by the graduate chapter here in Fayetteville. This project, teaching adult non-readers to read, has been very succes.sful. The teachers of these classes take time out from their families and school- work to help these adults who were not fortunate enough to learn to read. In the month of April, the Delta Xi Chapter will have its annual social affair. For your enjoyment this year we are planning to have a masquerade ball. All persons are asked to wear masks and to dress as some identifiable character. We are inviting the entire college fam ily. Keep alert for the date. We look ahead into the month of May when we will have our annual May Week educational program. Gertie Rodgers, Journalist Mrs. N. R. Smith, Sponsor Zetas “At Tea” with Grand Basileus Deborah P. Wolfe. The Pyramids Greetings to you from Pyramid Land. At the pledgees’ last meet ing the following officers were elected: President, Geraldine Ware; Vice President, Gwendolyn Leak; Sec retary, Frances Rankins; Assist ant Secretary, Katherine Whit taker; Chairman of Social Com mittee, Delores Shavers; Report er, Jean Gerald, The Pyramids are busily work ing on several interesting projects. These projects should be complet ed soon. The Cause Speeds On Its Way Pi chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity certainly has been the benefactor of numerous pleasant experiences during the 1961-62 aca demic year. Although the 1961 graduation week ended the Sigma strong-hold by no less than five of the then, eight members, the re maining three demonstrated what courage, effort, and fortitude will do by successfully initiating an en viable number of seven members. These seven were only a fractional sample of the number that this trio had intended to be reinforced by This partial achievement was sufficient to afford Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity the strongest fraternal “line” on FSTC campus. Hence, our hats are off to Brothers Jesse Hall, Roy Hemiflgway^-aiid J)avjd_ McNair. The successful execution of the strongest fraternal line was only the beginning of this year’s activi ties. The Sigma cause increased its momentum with the ascent of Brother Jack C. Sharpe to the Na tional Sigma Conclave which con vened December 26-28, 1961, in Philadelphia, Pa. Not only did Brother Sharpe attend, but he also participated actively in the execu tion of the festivities. Next in the chain of successful Sigma events was the observance of George Washington Carver Day. Brother Carver, one of the most eminent scientists of the modern era, was commemorated through a display in the Chesnutt Library of his life, history, and accomplish ments. Further revealing of Sigma ex perience was fortified through the observance of Founders Day on January 14. This, like the observ ance of Carvers’ birthday, was an annual act of reverence and devo tion. Founders’ Day festivities were highlighted by a challenging speech by Brother George Greene, attorney - at - law, Raleigh. His t;peech, in keeping with its pur pose, definitely enhanced the realm of Sigma experiences. Even with all these successful exneriences. Sigma has yet to re veal its greatest event of the vear. This event the observance of Big- eer and Better Business Week will commence sometime during the month of May. However, in pre paration for this event, we shall not “Throw caution to the wind.” On the contrary, through the fruit ful efforts of such able bodied men as Brothers Joseph Johnson, Syl vester Montgomery, Sam Maxwell, Thomas E. Jones, John C. Jessup, and Marvin Lucas (along with the four previously mentioned broth ers) we shall continue our task upon the road to success through our Bigger and Better Buiness pro gram.
