Fellow Students,
This is our first issue of THE VOICE for the school year 1965-66.
And here’s hoping that this year we will have a more informative and
interesting paper. This can be done; but the members of the staff, need
your help.
THE VOICE is your newspaper as well as the members of the staff.
We need your ideas. Our newspaper is called THE VOICE because it is
supposed to voice the ideas and opinions of all the students of Fayette
ville State College. If you do not write and submit your articles to THE
VOICE, how are we to know your opinions? We need and we solicit your
ideas and suggestions. Let us get a sampling of the ideas of all the
students of the college.
Some of our students have said that we do not have enough issues
per school year. As you may already know, there is a certain budget
that we must adhere to, and we cannot go beyond that budget. Our bud
get allows for only four or five issues per school year. So the members
of the staff try to spread these issues so what we will have at least
two issues per semester.
Too often we are prone to criticize our college paper without really
knowing the entire situation. If we will do less criticizing of our paper
and more writing for it, I am sure we will have a college paper that
will serve the needs of each student at Fayetteville State College.
We are greatly appreciative of the articles submitted to us for this
and other issues of THE VOICE. We welcome articUes from students of
all classifications.
Let us join forces for a better college paper. Remember there is no
VOICE without your voice.

MY DAUGHTER
by Laura Gilmor*
An ordinary girl she looked to be
Tall, awkward and scared you could see
Followed her footsteps closer than shadows
Seemingly to be all that mattered.
This view an ordinary observer would get
But the vision to her parents
Seemed to be transparent
pj-qqi their love—etched faces apparently.

FSC Students- Fellow Coll^ues
Poetry
Mr. Ollie Cox, of the English
Department, reports that three FSC
students have submitted entries in
the North Carolina Poetry Society
Contest for 1965. The students J>ie
Sandra Settles, Linda Williams and
Cutts.
The Society offers a contest with
cash awards for the best poems
submitted by students. The poems
must be original and unpublished.
The winners of the cash awards of
$15, $10 and $5 will be announced
at the January meeting at Camp
bell College and the winning poems
will be published in the Annual
NCPS Bulletin.
The contest, according to Mr.
Cox, is an effort to arouse con
sciousness of our cultural heritage
and participation in it as a balance
against our society’s general loss
of values. Other FSC students are
urged to enter the contest.
Send three double-spaced type
written copies of one poem only,
24 lines long or less. Your name
must not appear on the manuscript.
On an index card print the title
of your poem, your name, and your
address, and send your manuscript
to Dr. Howard G. Honson, Chair
man of the Student Committee,
NCPS, P. O. Box 272, Buies Creek,
North Carolina.
See Mr. Cox if you desire futher
information.
An ancient Latin Proverb states
“An army of stags led by a lion
would be better than an army of
lions led by a stag.”
Two sheep were grazing in a
meadow. “Baa-aa-aaa,” said the
first. “Moooooo,” said the second.
Said the first sheep, “What do you
mean ‘moooooo’?” Answered the
second sheep, “I’m studying a for
eign language.”

Matti* Cosd*ll
All of us are citizens of the Unit
ed States and we are proud of it.
Now the question arises, aren’t we
members of the ever-growing Fay
etteville State College family? Sure
ly we are, so let us walk proudly
and be glad that we are. To be a
member of an institution such as
Fayetteville State College is to be
among the elite.
Let us analyze this situation.
First, we have President Jones as
father and Mrs. Jones as mother;
the faculty serve as uncles and
aunts, the staff is a combination
of relatives and friends, and we
fellow colleagues are brothers and
sisters in this great family.
As brothers and sisters, we are
deeply concerned when Mom and
Dad are upset and Mom and Dad
are upset when we don’t meet ex
pectations. Both Persident and Mrs.
Jones show a deep interest in our
well-being; so let us as brothers
and sisters show interest in each
other. If our brother or sister at
home were having some form of
difficulty, we would express a deep
concern for his or her problem.
Let us do likewise here on campus.
If the team loses a game, do not
say that they are no good, but
rather say that we are behind them
and we know that things will bet
better. If your best friend is listed
among those on the delinquent
list, help him; don’t look for an
other friend because now is when
the first one really needs you.
Would we not help our brother or
sister at home in the same manner?
Surely. So let us do the same for
our college brother and sister.
There is a tie that binds each sor
ority sister as well as each fra
ternity brother. There is, also, a
tie that should bind each of us
as brothers and sisters on campus.
How many of us exhibit signs
of our being a part of this great
family? Are we wearing a FSC
sweater? In how many campus or
ganizations are we actively partici
pating? How many times have we
made the Dean’s List? There are
only a few of the many questions
that must be answered affirmatively
to show that strong school spirit
that is a part of each of us. Walk
proudly, fellow colleagues, and ex
hibit that strong school spirit that
each of us has so deeply rooted in
us.

Thank You

thanks to Dr. Irving S. Cheroff
for his fine cooperation as we pre
pared this publication.
Sleep
Beverly Vinson
Now I lay me down to sleep —
Wait! Before you sleep . . .
Have you ever awakened in a
state of complete exhaustion or
superb ecstasy? Have you ever
rushed to bed to complete a dream
that left you on the brink of sudden
wealth? Or have you ever awakened
with a good feeling that what you
dreamed wasn’t true and that you
didn’t get caught or killed? When
you’re drowning or on a “desert
of snow” with little protective
clothing is the problem most likely,
that your foot is hanging out of
bed or you’re partially uncovered?
If you have never experienced
any of the things mentioned above,
then you lead a dull life which
affords to you few adventures. Ad
ventures? Yes, I used the word ad
ventures. Why?
Obviously, I am speaking of
sleeping and few of you have ever
thought of sleeping as an adven
ture. But whether you know it or
not, sleeping can be one of the
most active parts of your day or
night.
Webster's Seventh Dictionary de
fines sleep as the natural periodic
suspension of consciousness during
which the powers of the body are
restored. Even from this definition,
one can see that sleep is a period
of activity rather than inactivity.
If you have ever watched the ex- 1
pression on a slumberer’s face, or
noticed the different positions one
gets into while sleeping, then sure
ly you have pondered. You have
pondered over what could the per
son sleeping be dreaming about.
Snoring, too, affords one much
adventure. Oftimes this sound is
the musical rendition of the night.
“Coping Z’s” is a slang expression
of this act of snoring. Isn’t this a
colorful phrase for the little, insig
nificant act of sleeping? And who
is to say that the person who
snores isn’t making his debut on
the Metropolitan Opera stage.
Sleeping isn’t just a resting per
iod. Whether you agree or not,
while virtually motionless, the
realm of sleep can transport its pas
senger to many places that public
transportation never goes and can
provide more enjoyment than any
actual experience can give.
“So tonight—sleep my child, and
peace attend thee all through the
night.”
Problems ? ?

Moral, Study problems of any
kind? Well, in the next issue of
THE VOICE, Candy will be answer
ing your letters. Write “Dear
Candy” and have her solve your
problems. Watch the bulletin
boards for information as to where
to mail your letters.
