April 1966 THE VOICE Page Three Favorite Study Habits And Locations Of FSC Students Fayetteville State College Pro fessors Charles I. Brown and Charles A. Asbury together with chief librarian Nathalene R. Smith are the authors of a recent study: “Favorite Study Habits and Loca tions of Fayetteville State College students.” 414 students, comprising 160 freshmen, 115 sophomores, 62 juniors, 66 seniors, and 11 special students, responded to a sixteen item questionnaire. Significant finding revealed that Fayetteville State College students prefer to either study alone (65%) or with two or three other persons who were also studying (33%). Other highlights: 68% preferred small sound-proof rooms that would be available for small study groups. When studying in a large group and/or in a large reading room, students prefer to study near the reference work (31%), the card catalogue (21%), and the books on the reserve shelves (17%). In greater recognition of the principal purpose a library is sup posed to serve than was expected, 45% of the students said that very little money need to be ex pended on luxurious appointments and library frills, rather that the monies should be spent on a libr ary that is comfortable but plain. In this connection student pre ference runs toward a library that houses all of the facilities and re sources that make for enriched and profitable study as over against floor lamps, scatter rugs, etc. “Quiet”, “convenient”, “access to educational aids”, and “alone” headed the list of reasons or con ditions as to why certain places had been selected as primary study locations. These factors looked for in a study place by the student were followed by “more comfor table” (19%), “best place avail- able” (16%), “study atmosphere” (15%), “good lighting” (11%), the very significant, “able to smoke while studying” (8%), and “low background noise level” (6%). In looking toward the future, Fayetteville State College students by a 62 to 35 percent margin felt that library stack privileges should be changed to allow “any request ing student” (53%) and “any and all students” (39%) a freer privil ege to the library stacks. Persons wishing to read the complete study may secure it at the Circulation Desk in Chesnutt Library. The Sophomore Class Goes Bowlinq The concerned Sophomores of Fayetteville State College went on a bowling spree at LaFayette Bowl ing Lanes, Sunday, March 20. For some of us, it was a new and exciting experience that creat ed a desire for the exoeriepce to be relived. For those who h’d bowl ed before, it was a reminis'’pnce of days nast and favorite bowling allpvs of dear hometowns. Of course none of us were d^o- fessionals: hf>wever, you sh'^tild have been th^re to s^e Ri'^ardo ElHer Hisniav h's maffriificpnt form and ctill. For hesinners. it was an ex''pllent on’inrtunitv to »1"'eloD newiv acquired basic skills in bowling. No records w^^e hut we are sure that ea''h sonhnmore in attendance will agree with us when we say that it was a most enjoy able afternoon. Bowling is a wonderful sport which can be played by the young and old of both sexes. We think that you will enjoy it too. Try it sometimes. Reporters: Karen Davis Barbara Martin Advisor: Mr. Ollie Cox AS THEY SAW IT— (Continued from page 2) Ruby Dee was spell-binding.” Linda Williams — “The program I enjoyed most was that of nation ally-known artist Ruby Dee. She talked freely with her audience and captured and held their interest from the beginning to the end of her Dramatic Recital.” Edward Winfield, Jr. — “I was an usher at one of our Fine Arts Week programs and was not very impressed by the attendance. I feel that we were not playing our part in supporting such a fine series of programs here at Fay etteville State.” Particia Bryant — “Fine Arts Week was a week of very interest ing and worth-while programs. It gave us an overall picture of art as a cultural achievement and of its rightful place in our society.” Barbars J. Weeks — I was elated to know that many of the activities presented during Fine Arts Week were products of our own Fayette ville State College. The concert that was given on Sunday was just marvelous. I think that the chfiir, along with its director, Mrs. Eld- ridge, should be given a special thanks.” BATON TWIRLER Charles Leslie Floyd is a freshman of whom our college can be proud. Charles, a native of Lumberton, North Carolina, displays ex ceptional talent at baton twirling. He twirls on baton, two batons, and a fire baton. He began twirling at an early age and was drum major at J. H. Hayswood High School from which he graduated. He participated in the Southeastern District Twirling Clinic and Contest three years, has participated in many talent shows, and has won much recognition with this feat. NLW To Be Action Week Librarian N. R. Smith Are you somewhat embarrassed by your limited awareness of cur rent affairs? Is your memory a lit tle rusty on the subject of history? Do you just “smile sweetly” when your friends discuss literature? Where do you stand in the area of fine arts? Are you mute on the subject of sports? Then, get into action to remedy these conditions. You can start by attending the Student Quiz Contest in Seabrook Auditorium on April 20, when Mel Ott Battle, Janice Crawford, Geraldine Henderson, Arletha Williams, and Justis Reives will take on Alean Davis, Evelyn Brown, Willie Mae Lewis, Gracie Brown and Sherree Cobbs in a battle of wit and wisdom on all these subjects. What about your literary ability —are you letting it go to waste? Your short stories, poetry, and es says may bring you fame and for tune not to mention the pleasure that they mav give to others who read them. Give the Creative Writ ing Contest a try. Works from this contest which orove to be worthy will receive wide publication. Many FSC students are writing. Is vour talent still hidden under a bu.shel? This is NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK — Let’s wake up and swing into action! “Just think.” the reluctant first-qrader com'nlamed. “J’ve pnt to stay in school until I’m 16.” “Don’t complain,” his teach er replied. “I’ve got to stay until I’m 65.” —Gloria Bier I Wonder . . . Now I Know Luretha C. Peacock The thought that hovers in the mind of many prospective student teachers for the second nine-week period is, “Will I survive it all.” They probably think of the exper ience of student teaching as a deep, wide and erratic river which stands between them and the bright green pastures on the other side. Three years of training at F.S.C. have brought them to the banks and now the tides roar so loudly they seem anxious to engulf them. Some might think of it as a battle which seems unconquerable, or a moun tain insurmountable. Anyone who has attained a worth while goal or station in life pro bably once had the same feeling— a feeling of doubt, fear, and bewild erment. This feeling accompanied me when I was assigned to the E. E. Smith Senior H igh School here in Fayetteville to do my prac tice work. For the first week or two I felt as if I were in a strange city and all alone. However, the principal, my supervising teacher, and the entire school body seemed anxious to assist me in my adjustment to my new environment. Before long I realized that the administration was not “an enemy standing ready to attack” as we have been some times led to believe; instead all persons to whom I was responsible worked as a team to make my ex perience as pleasant as possible. I feel that I have profited great ly from my experience of student teaching. Once I wondered too, but now I know. It can be done! I sin cerely believe, from my experience, that the teaching profession can be quite rewarding and rather en joyable. Budding Talent Three songs composed by Fay etteville State College students were played by the Fayetteville State College Bronco combination on Radio Station WIDU, Saturday, March 26: namely, “Sandman”, “This Is the Time for Love”, and “I Wanna Cry”. The composers are Roosevelt Johnson and Hubert Yar borough. The vocal on all three songs is done by Yarborough with the arrangements by Fred Byrd, assistant director of the Fayette ville State College Band. A tape of the songs has been forwarded to RCA recording studios. New York City. The renditions are done by the Fayetteville State College Bronco combination band led by William Westfield. This unit has performed at a number of military installations and college events. Zeta's Members of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority sincerely hope that each one of you had a pleasant Easter and is ready to start to work again. As you know the end of the semes ter will be here in a few weeks and surely everyone wants to do his best so he will not need to at tend summer school. Zeta probates, namely: Daisy M. Bennett, Mattie L. Cogdell, and Mary R. McLaurin, will be on the march the week of April 18. Our probates are always young ladies, so watch them while they parade in their blue and white and turn “green” with envy. Perhaps there is a missing probate among our readers but be sure and watch the ones on the march.
