REIVES WINS
SCHOLARSHIP
By LAURA GILMORE
Last Spring at Fayetteville State
College a new scholarship award
was added to the many awards
given each year to deserving stu
dents. The scholarship is known
as the Janies J. Corbett Scholar
ship which is being donated by
Dr. Joan Corbett of our English
Department. In order to qualify
for this scholarship one must be a
deserving male member of the
Sophomore, junior or Senior Class,
who has been selected by a com
mittee appointed by President Ru
dolph Jones. The scholarship cov
ers tuition and is renewable an
nually. If other tuition awards
have been granted the recipient,
this scholarship will pay the dif
ference owed to the college. The
1966-67 scholarship included
$200.00 cash in addition to the tui
tion fee.
The firts recipient of the James
J. Corbett Scholarship Award is
Justis Reives, a 20 year old junior
from Carthage, North Carolina.
Justis is an English major. He has
merited the Dean’s list on 3 occa
sions. He is also President of Al
pha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
Justis has done exceedingly well
even though he did not have the
guidance of his parents. Both are
deceased. If you know anything at
all about Justis, you will agree
that he is an energetic young man
who is always “Putting his best
foot forward.”
His hobbies are music and bowl
ing. During his freshman year he
appeared in the Fayetteville Little
Theater’s Production of “Guys and
Dolls. He is a member of the West
minister Fellowship and the Stu
dent National Educational Associa
tion.
Never tiring, Justis worked all
summer as a key-sort card opera
tor here at Fayetteville State Col
lege.
Immediately after graduation
from Fayetteville State College,
Justis would like to do graduate
work.
MATH LAB
By CORNEL DAVIS
Mr. Eldridge now has a new
mathematics laboratory provided
with TEMAC materials. It will be
in use from 9;00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
daily, to stimulate the interest of
students taking mathematics.
The lab’s chief aim is to help
students who made less than 8.5
on the Standard Math Tests, al
though it will be available for gen
eral use of the student body. Stu
dents will be permitted to work in
dividually at their own pace.
There will be selections of many
sets of materials so as to allow
all students of a section to pre
pare, simultaneously, lessons
based on the materials.
Two staff persons will be assign
ed to operate the laboratory in 4-8
multiple sections, consisting of ten
to twenty students. Student evalua
tions will be based on detail rec
ords of item by item responses on
math tests, to feedback for con
stant improvement of the labora
tory program.
Subjects will be based in vol
umes as follows, thus making it
possible for extensive study in var-
iors aspects of mathematics.

LIVELY LYCEUM
FEATURES
By SHIRLEY STURDIFEN
Three different attractions pro
vided the summer school students
with spritely moments among the
lively arts.
Unforgettable was Miss Hildreth
Roach’s swallow concert for Fay
etteville State College. The charm
ing and skillfully deft music teach
er and virtuoso afforded a special
treat for lovers of the classics, dis
playing an amazing proficiency
on some of the most difficult
works of the masters.
John Bassett, most certain to be
accorded a place among the elite
of folk singers, struck many moods
as he aired realms of tale and
romance. With surprising vocal
range and dramatic flair, Mr. Bas
sett, his voice and his guitar, made
music literally bounce off the
walls of Seabrook Auditorium.
The Newton Thomas Trio and
Don Perry seemed to have had all
heads swaying as they nestled to
concentrated smoothness in mod
ern sounds.
Though Thomas on piono, his
bassist and his drummer fere more
than apt soloists, his group was
especially artistically poignant
when all three were blended.
Their total effect seemed a well
thought out criss-cross of Dave
Brubeck, Hampton Hawes, and
Bud Powell all rolled into one.
Thomas’ group has played all the
famed bistros, including “Bird-
land.”
Perry, the brilliant violinist ac
companying the trio, was truly su
perb. Obviously of classical fibre
with his freshly clear and controll
ed tones, he was “finished” in
every sense of the word. Though
presenting only standard ballads
and known jazz vehicles, the tenor
fo Perry’s broad range and caress
ing tenderness would stay him in
as equally good stead with the
New York Philharmonic String
Section.
Music, Voices,
Please! . . .
By LAURA GILMORE
The Fayetteville State College
Choir under the direction of Mrs.
Mary T. Eldridge i sgoing to sing
the time away this year. What
beautiful music they will make,
too, if you know anything about
the choir. Obviously some people
have heard some of the beautiful
notes that have been sung by the
choir during the years because of
the many students who auditioned
for the choir this year. Mrs. Eld
ridge was very pleased with the
auditioners and many of them the
grade and are now new members
of the choir. Mrs. Eldridge pointed
out, however, that she needs more
men in the choir to give it more
vitality. MEN come to the rescue.
A person can gain so much from
his affiliation with an extra-curri
cula activity. Singing in the choir
gives you an outlet from the rig
orous routine of classes and study.
It also makes you alert and gives
a certain amount of displine. Be
ing a member of the campus choir
will be interesting and enjoyable.
The choir takes many trips
throughout the state each year.
Last year the choir went to Phila
delphia to perform and Mrs. Eld
ridge says that because of the
choir’s fine performance, they
have been invited to return again
this year.
The choir has moved into new
quarters this year in the Fine Arts
Building. When you see the new
choir room, the new pianos and
all of the other new equipment,
it makes you want to sing even
though you can not hold a tune.
Mrs. Eldridge comments that, “We
had a fine group of people last
year when we didn’t have a new
Arts Building, but now that we
have one, the choir should be per-
perfect.”
Let’s admit it. We have a good
choir! Why not support it by at
tending some of their concerts.
GRADUATE STUDY
SETS PRECEDENCE
By CORNEL DAVIS
Two graduate courses were
taught at Fayetteville State Col
lege this past summer. They mark
ed the first time in the School’s
history that such courses were of
fered. Education 422, History and
Philosophy of Education and Edu
cation 360G, Principles of Guid
ance, were taught by Dr. Malvin
E. Moore Jr., Dean of the College,
and Dr. Grady Davis of the FSC
Education Department. Both
courses were offered in conjunc
tion with East Carolina College.
Education 360G was a three
quarter hour senior-graduate
course. A student must have earn
ed a minimum of 144 quarter
hours (90 semester hours) of un
dergraduate credit or hold a B. A.,
B. S., or M. A. degree to have
been eligible for credit. Education
422 was a three quarter hour grad
uate course. A student must have
held a Baccalaureate degree to
have been eligible for credit in it.
Both of the courses may be used
for renewal of “A” and “G” teach
ing certificates, if they do not
duplicate previous credit and if
the course is pertinent to the
teaching field. They may also ap
ply toward the Master of Arts de
gree upon official admission to the
East Carolina College Graduate
School if the course fits into the
student’s degree program.
A total of ten class sessions
were held for each course and
students could enroll for one or
both courses. Tuition for each
course was $27.00 per person plus
the cost of the textbooks. Instruc
tors of both courses expressed sat
isfaction in having the course and
look forward to having them again
next summer.
FSC PROFESSOR
JOINS NCSU STAFF
By LEONZA LOFTIN
Mr. Richard Robinson, Professor
of Physics, has joined the staff of
the North Carolina University at
Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Mr,
Robinson began this assignment on
September 6, 1966. He is teaching
a course in General Physics 211.
This is a four credit hours course
which meets two evenings per
week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
There are eighteen students in this
class.
The North Carolina State Uni
versity at Fort Bragg is a division
of the main campus which is locat
ed in Raleigh, North Carolina. The
Fort Bragg division is accorded
the same status and privileges as
the parent school in Raleigh.
The purpose of the school at
Fort Bragg is to enable military
personnel and their dependents
stationed there, to further their
education while fulfilling their
military obligations. It also serves
civilians on a space available basis.
It is believed that this is the
first time a member of the Fay
etteville State College staff has
served on the faculty of the Uni
versity of North Carolina at Fort
Bragg.'
ON DINING IN
LILLIPUT
By CHARLES COOPER
Yes, dinner, lunch and break
fast were served as usual this sum
mer but not in the usual place.
The summer school students used
Newbold Training School’s Cafe
teria. To give you some idea of
what it was like, well, it has been
said that experience is the best
teacher and that one never ap
preciates a valuable thing until he
is no longer in possession of it.
In reference to the experience,
the contrast between the dining
room that was used during the
summer session and our own L. C.
Cook Dinig Hall proved to be an
unforgettable experience. This was
especially so for those individuals
six feet tall who had to sit down
to a table four feet from the floor.
I think you will agree that this
could present a slight problem.
Not only were the tables inap
propriate, but we were also in as
set of a one corner air conditioner.
Picture this; it is a scortching day,
you’re seated at a table designed
for six years olds, you’re perspir
ing from head to foot, and there
in a corner stands a ten foot elec
tric fan operating smoothly, but
not to your convenience, mind you.
Rather heart breaking isn’t it.
If you’ve attended church at any
time during your lifetime you
probably remember hearing a ser
mon about the bones, the dry
bones for some peculiar reason the
thought of those bones never fail
ed t ooccur upon eating our care
fully prepared breakfast toast.
This statement signifies the dif
ference in hard working student?
having a good hearty breakfast
to start the day off with a bang.
The aftermath lies in the joy
of being back to our recently re
modeled L. C. Cook hall of de
licious food, with accommodations
suitable for all.
N.D.E.A. INSTITUTE
By ROWENA PETERSON
Fayetteville State College suc
cessfully completed its first N. D,
E. A, Institute this past summer.
It was for advance study in Eng
lish for Elementary Teachers of
the Language Arts. The Institute
consisted of three courses of two
sections each. The courses were
Grammer and Composition, Chil
dren’s Literature and The Teach
ing of Reading:
There were six weeks of classes,
one in each course each day, fol
lowed by a one week workshop
which synthesized classroom mat
ter with methods. The institute
was composed of sixty participants,
teachers from all over the United
States, one from Puerto Rico and
one from Hawaii. All had been in
the teaching field for at least five
years.
Dr. Joan Corbett was its direc
tor. Dr. Marquerite Frierson was
the assistant director. There were
visiting professors o nthe staff, but
it consisted mainly of F. S. C. fac
ulty members. Mr. Edward Clark,
Mrs. Minnetta Scott, Mrs. Lula
Williams, Miss Lois Turner and
Mr. Ollie Cox were the F. S. C.
members of the staff. Two obser
vation classes, composed of local
little tots were a part of the pro
gram. Many guess speakers came
to F S. C.’s National Defense Edu
cation Act English Institute. Mrs,
Helen Chick spoke on the crea
tion of stimulation in children by
art. Mr. Leslie Guster of the Com
mission on English talked about
the Challenge to English teachers
in elementary schools. Dr. Eugene
Slaughter, Director of English In
stitutes spent a day conferring
with the staff.
Mrs. Roger Evans lectured on
the Initial Teaching Alphabet, Dr,
Mabel F. Rudiskill of Duke Uni
versity, Dr. Grady Davis, F. S. C.
and Dr. Darwin Turner, A & T
College were featured guests of
the Institute. Dr. Corbett hopes
that F. S. C. can have the insti
tute again next summer.
