archives The Voice Volume 19, Number 3 FAYETTEVILLE STATE COLLEGE, FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. March 1966 From The President's Desk Students recently requested of the Administration that they be treated more as adults. As a re sult certain rules were revised gov erning female students on the campus. All students were given more freedom with regard to at tending classes, chapel and vesper services. As a result of this, stud ents have been placed much more on their own responsibility. Per sonally, I believe students will live up to expectations and prove that they deserve these new freedoms. I believe they will show they are capable of shouldering the respon sibilities that go along with the new privileges. This is yet to be proved, however. Those who do not live up to expectations will find that their future education may be jeopardized. They may re ceive “Dear John” letters during the summer and if so they will find it difficult to enter another col lege. I would strongly urge all students to put lessons first in your college life. Rudolph Jones President Founders’ Day 89th ANNIVERSARY SUNDAY, APRIL 17 Speaker Mr. John H. Wheeler President, Mechanics & Farmers Bank Durham, N. C. $50,000 Academic Scholarship Drive NDEA Institute Fayetteville State College con siders itself fortunate to have been one of the two institutions in the state of North Carolina to be grant ed an NDEA English Institute for teachers of elementary language arts for the summer of 1966.

The Day Students Organization of Fayetteville State College is sponsoring a $50,000.00 Acaademic Scholaarship Fund Drive. Funds from this drive are to be used to provide Full-Tuition Scholar ships to deserving day students. The Fund Drive was initiated on January 3, 1966. It is to end on April 15, 1966. A Gala and Colorful Day Stu dents All - Campus Scholarship Dance will be held on April 15, in the Lilly Gymnasium of Fayette ville State College, from 8:00 P.M. to midnight. This scholarship dance is to culminate our efforts in the fund drive. Tickets to the dance cost $1.00 each. In addition, a drawing will be held at the dance for a number of wonderful door prizes which will be awarded to the holders of the lucky tickets. The three marvelous door prizes are: 1st. Prize; a 1966 GTO Pontiac (fully equipped & specially ordered) 2nd. Prize: a 1966 F85 Oldsmobile (also fully equipped & specially ordered) 3rd. Prize: a 1L)66 Admiral Con sole Color TV Set These are the fantastic door prizes. Note that the ticket stub that allows one to attend the dance also gives him a chance to win one of the door prizes. Moreover, one does not have to be present at the dance to win. Everyone is urged to buy his tickets now in advance and wait for the night of April 15. It is felt that this scholarship plan “of helping one help himself” is a fitting example of what in dustry, ingenuity, and zeal can gen erate to create and promote op portunity “without charity.” Now is a perfect time to, instead of talk ing about good causes, start work ing for a good cause. It is one thing to be concerned with a cause and it is another thing to be involved in that cause. The Day Students Organization is involved. We feel that it is most befitting at this time for the student body of FSC to set an example and pace for other colleges to emulate. This display of character could arouse the imagination of Foundations, Estates, Trusts and Wills-organiza- tions to look into the calibre of the FSC student body. Most of us find that this is a chal lenge facing us. Let us not shrink from it. Let us welcome it. Edward Me Donald President, Day Students Organization From The Registrar's Office AAlss L. M. Means Enrollment At the close of registration for the second semester, the Registrar reported approximately 1,100 stu dents enrolled. This enrollment figure included 84 new students enrolled for the second semester, of whom 51 are new freshmen, 13 transfers and 20 former. The 84 new students, added to the first semester enrollment of 1,197, brings the total enrollment for the academic year of 1965-66 to 1,281. The tota’i enrollment con sists of 442 male students and 839 female. The Tutorial Program "One man can make a difference, every man should try." Again, the magic date of Novem ber 15, 1965, comes into the spot light. On the night of this notable date, the Tutorial Program of Fay etteville State College was official ly launched. And those of us who participated in that launching know that this program and that date are inseparable. As the weeks passed from that night to this day, other dates that we remember so very well forth. There have been many pleasant experiences that the tutors and tu- tees have had together. As the tu tors and tutees worked interrelated- ly and closely together, many re warding developments occurred. The tutors have remained devoted to the cause, and the tutees have demonstrated a strong desire to fully participate in the tutorial program. Of the 13 tutees in the program at the beginning, only 3 failed to attend each of the sche duled tutoring sessions. Our efforts became a little “swinging” when we, the tutors, gave the tutees a gala Christmas party on the afternoon of Decem ber 9, in the conference room of Harris Hall. Food, drinks, candies, and presents were given by the tu tors to the tutees. All of us danced to the sounds of rock and roll music. The entire affair was quite enjoyable and exciting. In comparing our program to tu torial programs of other colleges (Continued on page 2) First Semester Grads The following students completed requirements for graduation at the end of the first semester, January 29, 1966: Elementary Education Field Home Address Bain, Faye Dot Grammar Grade Lumber Bridge Boone, Elvira Yvonne Primary Fayetteville Fairley, Mary Elizabeth Primary Philadelphia, Pa.

The grade point 3 Point System: The Grade Point System system was changed from the 3 point system to the 4 point system as of October 14, 1965 Comparison of Point Systems Used in Grading Present System SUPPORT FROM FAYETTEVILLE MAYOR MONROE EVANS for $50,000 ACADEMIC DRIVE Gr.

Total A 3 X 4 12 B 3 X 3 9 C 3 X 2 6 D 3 X 1 3 E (3) X 0 0 The advanage of the 4 point system is that a truer picture is obtained of the actual performance of students, in that the hours attempted are divided into the total grade points. Whereas, under the 3 point system, only the hours earned are divided into the points earned. The student in the instance is penalized by having to repeat the course, and he also loses mi nus points for the failure. To convert from the 3 point system to the point system, one grade point will be added to the present cumulative grade point average. From this point the 4 point sys+em will prevail. MARKING SYSTEM: A—Excellent Scholarship, B —Good Scholarship, above average, C—Fair Scholar ship, average quality, D—Poor Scholarship (not passing in courses in major area), E—Failure (Course must be repeated), I—Incomplete, X—Absent from examina tion.
