Page Four THE VOICE April 1966 1966 BRONCO BASEBALL SQUAD Broncos Stats (5 Games) A Note From “Ott" The lack of participation in in tramural activities at Fayetteville State College is of great concern to me. What is the problem, stud ents? Intramurals are designed for those students not participating in varsity activities. The program of fers flag-football, basketball, a cross-country run, volleyball, ten nis, and softball. Flag-football had only six participating teams. Bas ketball showed a remarkable in crease. Only two teams passed in rosters for volleyball. Why is this, students? Fayetteville State College is growing. Why not help the school? A school is no more than what you make it. One can simply read about the intramural programs at other schools. Some of these schools value the program more than they do the varsity athletics. Let’s get on the ball, people. Let’s make soft ball and tennis go over with a “bang.” If you don’t play, then offer your support by attending these activities. Broncos Whip Scats The Broncos won their third straight game defeating S.C.A.T. 6-3. Luther Miller, a junior from Winston-Salem, hurled 4 innings to get the victory.

Thus, fol lowing the Scholarship Dance, the James Brown Show is scheduled to be the next major event in the Fund Drive. If not before April 27, 1966, then indeed after this date, it should be abundantly clear that the Day Students Organization of the school year 1965-’66 means ab solute business. Although concern ed about worthy causes for some time, this school year proved to be the one in which this organiza tion became really involved in a worthy cause. Did you know that it is one thing to be concerned about a cuse and a different thing to actually be Involved in the bet tering of that thing? At this point, it is with whole hearted appreciation that I, on be half of the Day Students Organiza tion, thank and commend those of you who have given us your moral and financial support in the Fund Drive. You demonstrate by your support that we are united in our concern for the advancement of the educational process in our nation. Moreover, we are united in our involvement. Let us remain united.
