SELF-INTEREST AND INDIVIDUALISM
CAN DESTROY
Tilola May
There’s a criminal loose on FSC’s campus that’ll require more than
a Batman and Robin to combat. This criminal is so evil and cunning that
most of FSC’s student body are now his cohorts and are unknowingly
enjoying all of the destruction he has done to the campus so far. This
criminal is named Self-Interested-Individualism and the destroyed build
ings are FSC’s classrooms, organizations, and special programs.
Yes, students of ESC, you have unwittingly become the accomplices
of Self-Interested-Individualism and his disastrous results. I’m not say
ing that there’s something wrong with individualistic and self-interested
ideas; but, we have come to let them gain control of us instead of our
gaining control of them. Ever since we have gotten many new privileges,
we have grown more individualistic and self-minded. We have come to
let these two things govern our way of thinking and acting instead of
the opposite.
Self-Interested-Individualism’s henchman, called Excuses, has also
effectively done his work. Whenever we have a chapel, vesper, or lyceum
program on campus. Excuses quickly steps in and (like an evil thought
fighting a good thought in your mind) encourages you not to attend that
program. He causes you to use his name to keep from performing your
duties as adult students attending FSC. With the help of Excuses to do
his dirty work, Self-Interested-Individualism has successfully caused
FSC’s students to be disinterested in anything for their own good.
How many of you can honestly say that you’ve continued to attend
all group and club activities, and meetings, or even your classes regular
ly, since we’ve received our new freedoms? I can’t say so and I’m vwit-
ing this article. But, fellow students, we must start re-evaluating our
selves and start seeing where our present course is leading FSC! Our
college will never gain any type of high reputation until we start put
ting facts before fictions. As long as we live and act in the fictional be
lief that we are strictly individualists and we can act and do as we
please, not giving thought to the real purpose of our being in college,
we’ll never attain any great heights.
The facts are our organizations, special programs, classes, and
school spirit. Our classes are self-explanatory; the band, choir, religious
groups, Greek Letter organizations, and Day Student Organization are
some of our organizations. Our special programs include chaoel, vesoer,
and lyceum programs. Our school spirit is stronser in snorts activities
than in anvthing else. It should be strong in all things affecting us.
It’s the facts that make a college or university, not the fictions. The
farts pnaWe a student bodv to be strong, united, and prosnerous. Well
envied is the college or university whose student body works and stays
toPp*her.
Which way are you leading FSC, down the road to fame through strong
unity of the students in all of their ramoiis activities, or down the road
to extinf'tjon through excuses and selfish ideas that are ninety-nine per
cent indivi'i'ialism and one percent unity? The choice is yours; the
future of FSC dPTipnds on it. Make your decision now. for tomorrow
will be too late. Will you be nroud to sav vour’re from FSC, the Bronco
colleee, vpars f^'om now"^ FSC’s fame will be there only if you care.
So, fpllnw-adult. college students, go back to class and study hard,
attpnd all the soecial programs given for your cultural advancement,
and most of all, attend all of your organizational meetings and partici
pate in their proiects. Only in this way can you say that you’re proud
to be a member of the band, the choir, a sorority or a fraternity, or Day
Student Organization.
Broncos, don’t let FSC just lie down and die without a struffele.
It’s un-American, un-patriotic, unreasonable. Get up and band together
apain. to kick back laziness, self-interested trends, unwholesome indi
vidualism, and disunity. These things will destroy us unmercifully, if
we don’t work together and become a strong student body asain. In
this way only, will we be able to say years from now, “I attended FSC,”
and be proud of it. Otherwise someone will be playing TAPS for FSC
soon ... if not already.
A Tribute
wmmm.
The members
of the VOICE
staff believe in
giving one his
flowers while
he lives. We
feel that our
advisor, Mrs.
M. H. Scott,
really deserves
this space in
our paper. She has worked with us
more faithfully than we have work
ed with each other. She lost her
mother during this school term
and she still put forth every effort
to help us reach deadlines in put
ting the paper on the press.
Mrs. Scott is one who will go
that extra mile and then more if
she is needed. We feel very for
tunate in having one such as she
to advise us in the editing of the
college paper. Mrs. Scott, we the
members of the VOICE staff wish
to thank you very much for being
so patient with us.
Here is just a little about her:
Our advisor holds the B S. degree
from Shipnensbiirg (Pa.) State Col
lege, and the Ed. M. degree from
the University of Pittsburgh: she
has done further study at the Uni-
vpr9'‘tv of Cnnnpftiput. She is Asst.
Professor of Engli.sh and Coordinat
or of Freshman Enelish here at
FSC. Mrs. Scott had two ypars
teaching experience in hieh school
prior to joining the Enfflish De
partment of Fayetteville State.
Mrs. Scott was awarded a grant
to the Institute for Teachers of
Fnolish from Prednniinantlv Nef'ro
Colleges held at Indiana U'”'versitv
in the summer of 1964. She will
be one of the tpafhers of comnosi-
tion in the NDEA Fnelish Institute
to be held on our campus this sum
mer.

Letters To
The Editors
Dear Editor:
I wish to commend Edward Mc
Donald for the splendid work that
he is doing for us, the day stud
ents. As a day student, I have often
felt that my purpose was to attend
classes and leave the campus. Now
I feel that I, too, am a part of this
great family.
Rosetta Evans
Dear Sports Editor:
Why don’t we have a pep rally
in order that all of the athletes
here on campus can get that extra
boost? By the way, your picture
really looks better.
Christine Roundtree
Dear Editor:
Several students would like to
know the box number of the VOICE
so that we might submit materials
for publication.
Leroy Carroll
Editor’s Note: The campus box
number is 211 — located with
other on-campus boxes, first floor
of Smith Administration Building
— directly across from Business
Office.
Dear Exchange Editor:
Only recently. I’ve found that
Fayetteville State College ex
changes newspapers With other col
leges. I find that these papers are
very interesting. I feel that more
students would read these papers
if they knew where to find them.
Please let us know.
Dorothy McLaurin
Editor’s Note: The VOICE estab
lished an exchange with other col
leges and universities and some
few high schools several years ago,
and this list grows with each school
year. Immediately upon receipt,
current issues of newspapers from
other schools are placed in the
Periodical Room of our Chesnutt
Library. Do look for the VOICE
Exchange Desk in your Periodical
Room, read the happenings of
other schools, and please return
papers to Exchange Desk when
finished.
Thank You
The members of the Staff extend
a hearty Thank You to Mr. Irving
S. Cheroff for his fine cooperation
in our editing of the Voice during
this school year.
We would also like to send a big
thanks to Oscar Phillips for his
help with this issue. The VOICE
needs more good workers like you!
