Hail, White And Blue” ROBERT MELVIN My fellow State CoUege contem- pories, we have demonstrated in a lackadaisical manner our atti tudes toward school spirit. We sing our Alma Mater as if it were a hymn afte an eulogy. President Rudolph Jones has tried to improve Fayetteville State CoUege Students’ morale on numerous occasions. Since entering State, I have no ticed that the student body, in gen eral is composed of introverts. F.S.C. students have allowed other college students to monopolize active exhibitions on our campus. The why of this show of dis loyalty is an issue in itself. It may stem from continued high . , , school rivalry in this college, coercison between social orders or cliques, class disunity, and unconcern about participation in campus programs. We deem that the only solution is to instill the idea of ethnocentric behavior in each student. This feeling, related to school spirit, that one s group is superior to any other group is necessary in order to establish an undying dedication for dear “old” F.S.C. , ^ ■ ,,1 When a student enters college, he should try to dedicate his whole self to all facets of its environment. He should realize that he is at a great and glorious institution of higher learning. Some students refuse to accept this fact. This continued unacceptance dims the students ^‘^*^°wVsh^uid be ashamed of the amount of school spirit we exhibit as supposedly mature college students. However, there are several students exemplified leadership qualities in various extracurricular pursuits. Re gardless to say, these are the types of students we need to display our who have attempted to combat this negative attitude. These students have a "real” example ot BroSo lplS“ s“g “S iiau; White and Blue” like a “true” Fayette- villian let Smith Athletic Field resound with our loyalty, and make it your individual responsibility to uphold all the traditions of a do or die” Bronco. If we carry out these ideals, I guarantee each and every Fayette ville State College student wijl understand the words pur colors so true, oh hail, white and blue! To thee our voices ring. Dr. Seabrook Speaks Dr. J. W. Seabrook, president emeritus of this college, was the speaker for assembly on October 9. Dr. Seabrook was introduced by our president, Dr. Rudolph Jones. Dr Seabrook’s inspiring topic was “How to Be Successful in Life.” He developed this topic by using six key words. These words were Concentration, Gradualness, Today, Vocabulary, Personality, And Then Some, and Continuous Growth. As he elaborated on each word, he showed how each was building stone in our lives. He also used amusing anecdotes to express his points of view and to show us the significance of these key words. Reporter, Carolyn D. Council Art Students Participate Mrs. H. T. Chick of the Fine Arts Department reports that a total of $7,625 in cash and savings bond awards plus 60 medals and ten all expense trips to Chicago will be awarded student winners of Saint Regis Paper Company’s Fifth An nual Collegiate Packaging Design Competiton which opened recently. This year’s competition has been broadened to include every college and university in the United States.

Several Art students are entering the contest. Entries are due in Chicago no later than March 31, 1964. Winners will be announced in May and top winners in each division will be flown to Chicago for presentation ceremonies. What is destined to be one of the great years in the history of Fay etteville State College is rapidly passing. It is my sincere hope that we do not have students who are waiting and “day dreaming” and have not yet settled down to serious study. It is really later than you think. You must realize that there cannot be any success without ef fort. No faculty member can give a student an education. It is some thing you must acquire for your self. We can never have a great col lege until we have students who can discipline themselves and put first things first. This means that you buy textbooks before you buy un necessary luxuries. This means you go to the library on Friday night if you need to rather than to the movies or a dance. This means that you put lessons before card playing. It means that you go to Chapel and Vespers to acquire knowledge and ideas not because attendance is re quired. The same is true with re gard to Lyceum programs. Students are challenged now as never before to take advantage of every opportunity for self improve ment so as to be able to make a creditable showing in the ever more competitive world they wiU face in the years after graduation from col lege. The Sidewalk I know that the sidewalks at Fayetteville State College are ex hausted when night falls. They must be because they work so hard during the day. Their seemingly never-ending blocks of grey cement take punishment unlimited. Tiny heels with heavy legs, foot ball spikes worn by a football play er who weighs two-hundred fifty pounds, medium feet in narrow shoes, crush it, grind dirt into its cracks, slide on it, and make scars on its surface. Slow, sauntering strides and fast tipping footsteps are only two of the kinds of dis cipline that it is subjected to in the course of a day. When the rains come, the side walk has no umbrella to keep it dry, as do the students who pace back and forth from building to building. But I am almost certain that it appreciates the cooling water on a scorching day after the sun has shone so hotly. As the water trickles into the cracks and crev ices of the cement, if one bent down to listen, there would be sighs of relief. The sidewalk leads a hard life but it has reconciled itself to that. It knows that this is its calling. The very next time that you see a sidewalk, tip lightly. Be com passionate. Remember that the sidewalk is exhausted!! Beverly Vinson WILLIS McLEOD, President As an educational organ within our educational community, the stu dent government at Fayetteville State College has a commitment to help provide an environment which wiU be most conducive to the intel lectual grovrth of the student body. This includes academic, cultural and spiritual, athletic and social affairs, for each contributes to the forming of the student. The student government is in the unique position of being the only elected, representative body on our campus with general responsibility for each student’s weKare; but this doesn’t mean that the student gov ernment has to operate each pro gram in the area of student wel fare. It does mean that the student government should conduct some of the activities itself and see that the Bi-Racial Committee Reports JUANITA McRAE On Wednesday, October 2, the Mayor’s Bi-Racial Committee of Fayetteville presented its findings and progress report to the student body at our weekly assembly pro gram. This committee, as we all know, was appointed some months ago for the purpose of working to ward peaceful desegregation in the vicinity of Fayetteville. The chairman of this committee, Mr. J. W. Pate, Jr., opened tfae program discussion with the rea sons behind the formation of the committee as well as the steps it has taken since coming into exis tence. After his introductory informa tion, the speaker presented the various areas in which more Ne groes had been employed since the formation of the committee. Rev. C. A. Chick listed those in govern ment as compared with the num ber employed previous to the for mation of the committee. Reverend J. V. C. Summerell gave a report of the governmental situation in Cumberland County prior to July 19, when the committee formally began its work. Following this report. Dr. C. M. Cherry presented the findings con cerning department stores and variety stores that have begun hir ing on the basis of merit rather than race. These included The Capital, Belk - Hensdale, Fleish man’s Big Store, J. C. Penny, Sears-Roebuck, McCrory’s, Wool- worth, and others. In regard to other places of bus iness, it was found that prior to July 19 there were no integrated motels, hotels, or theatres in Fay etteville. Restaurants were also segregated. However, some places of this type have become integrated since July 19. Some of the eating places are A&W Root Beer, Dunkin Do-Nuts, Green Lantern Restau rant, Hardee’s, Home’s, Holiday Inn, the Prince Charles Hotel. There are also nine motels and hotels now open to Negroes and other races. These include The Am bassador, Bel Air, Driftwood, La fayette, and Home’s Motor Lodge. Drive-in movies, bowling lanes, and putt-putt golf have also integrated. In addition to these progressive steps, there have been added twen- ty-two Negro sales clerks in down town stores as weU as plans made for adding more in the future. Jobs held by Negroes in the past in most areas are to be upgraded and the number of Negroes hired is to be increased, according to the report of the Bi-Racial Committee. Among others participating in this presentation were Dr. G. L. Butler, Reverend C. R. Edwards, and Newspaperman Gibson Prath er, all members of the committee. others are assumed by competent student organizations. One of the major reasons for organizing and supporting a stu dent government is to provide a structure within which student needs can be accurately analyzed and through which proposed solu tions can be presented effectively to the appropriate groups. The most significant roles of the student gov ernment are those which key on the contributions which it can make to the college through its program and activities. It has always been my contention that a leader is no stronger than his followers. We hope Qiat this year has brought us an alert and conscientious student body who wants to see its student government function and will support its plan ned activities, for it is a known fact that unless we have complete and total cooperation from our stu dent body we shall only be a pseudo-functioning body or simply a figurehead. As its top program of the year, the student government has organ ized a tutorial program. It is our belief and sincere hope that through the services of concerned students in their respective fields, much success can result with the cooper ation of the administration and faculty. Though the main objective of the program is to assist our new students in their adjustment prob lems, all students are at liberty to take advantage of all services rendered by our tutors. It is also my sincere hope that more of our many campus organ izations wiU undertake more pro jects beneficial to the entire college family and that our students will take full advantage of them. You are to understand that as your elected representative body on campus, we are at your every dis posal and invite any problem that you may have and pledge our full support to do everything in our power to solve it. We wish much success for this academic year and the years to come at Fayetteville State College.
