STUDIES IN PROCESS
Charles A. Asbury, “The establishment of a regression equation at
Fayetteville State College for predicting NTE scores at graduation
from SAT scores at freshman entrance”.
To establish this regression equation SAT scores for 1961-62
and the NTE scores for 1964-65 will be used.
Theodore F. Boushy, “Contributing factors to the incidence of acade
mic failure at Fayetteville State College”.
The population queried for this study will be taken from
recent academic probation lists.
Charles I. Brown and Laura Gilmore, “The white student in the pre
dominately Negro colleges of North Carolina”.
Among the several reactions examined by this study are the
motives which prompted white students to attend predominately
Negro colleges, the satisfactions and dissatisfactions experienced,
the level and intensity of social acceptance or rejection by their
student peers, and the reactions of their families, etc., toward
them and their college choice. This study is confined to a selected
number of Negro colleges and the school year 1965-66.
Betty Cooper, “A blueprint for the use of educational television at Fay
etteville State College”.
The principal burden of this paper will be to assay the preS'
ent number of television outlets at FSC and to offer a blueprint
for their more effective use in the educative process.
Jasper Turner, “Some current problems of adolescence.”
Holding a rather special place among the usual social prob
lems of 100 FSC students is an examination of attitudes, pro and
con, toward the Negro movement and the processes by which these
attitudes were formed.
Odell Uzzell, “An examination of the community power structure in
Fayetteville”.
, “A longitudinal study on the long and short
term effects of the Headstart Program”.
This study will attempt to note the effectiveness of the Head
start Program in Fayetteville by comparing the academic and
social performance of Headstart children in regular school with
the academic and social performance of a control group.
Teaching and Learning Programs
Some second semester teaching programs that offer some
promise of breaking with some of the traditionalism of the past:
1. The “discovery” method of teaching popularized by Jerome S.
Bruner and adapted to the Social Studies by E. Fenton will be em
ployed by Lorenzo Battle and Wilma K. Hunter in World History
Since 1600 course. One unique feature of this course will be cen
tered on the reading of “primary documents” by the students.
2. Henry M. Eldridge and Cynthia B. Huff make up the teaching-team
that will bring its influence to bear on both sections of Teaching
Elementary School Science and Mathematics.
3. Thomas Bacote and Mary T. Eldridge comprise the teaching-team
for Music 242: Class Voice and Instruments.
In addition to the above intra-department teaching-teams, a
cross-fertilization of ideas is likely to ensue from the following
inter-departmental teaching-teams.
4. A section of Science lllB: General Biology has been chosen by
Virginia A. Dix (Sc. & Math) and Charles I. Brown (Ed.) for an
experiment in a “guided discovery and team-learning” program.
The major premise underlying this team-teaching effort is that
learning can be enhanced through the proper guidance of a nat
ural learning phenomenon. That each student alternates between
teaching and learning himself, teaching other students, and being
taught by other students.
5. A section of Math. 100: Developmental Mathematics is under the
joint tutorship of Frank Robinson (P. E.) and Henry M. Eldridge
(Sc. & Math).
Some live demonstrations of extra-class teaching sessions is
evidenced by Theodore F. Boushy and Penelope L. Slacum who
once-a-week meet with interested students in an extra night ses
sion. For this semester’s extra-sessions Dr. Boushy plans to in
corporate a five-minute diagnostic conference with each student.
Miss Slacum plans to continue as before to serve as a perceptor
with an in-depth study-group.
—and other comment
Quite often I meet a thought that coincides so perfectly with
my own that I have almost as often said, “I wish that I had said or
written that.” In search of words for comment on the above men
tioned teaching and learning programs, I wished that I were the
author of the following quote instead of Winslow R. Hatch, Ap
proach to Teaching, HEW, 0E-50047:14, 1966, pp. 5,6.
“Research has demonstrated that students can acquire infor
mation as well without the personal intercession of an instructor
as they can with it. Since teaching machines inform students as
effectively as some instructors do, and since television can inform
more students than a teacher can in a conventional classroom sit
uation, professors are bound to wonder about the desirability of
teaching that is primarily or even exclusively informational. The
questions become still more pointed when the learning specialist
tells us that ‘the first thing a teacher should know about teaching
is to know enough not to teach’ in the sense of informing or
telling.
“Teaching ... is what is left after a teacher stops transmit
ting information. It involves the teacher’s and the student’s ex
amination of the information that the students have acquired,
preferably through a substantial effort on their part. There is, of
course, little excuse for teachers to be uncertain about their role
because learning specialists have been describing it for years: It
is to direct student learning.
“What this means should pose no problem because students
learn in much the same way as do their teachers. The teacher
typically calls his learning research or inquiry. Inquiry would, ac
cordingly, appear to be a good word to describe a teacher’s teach
ing and the learning of his students”.
Develop Your Other Self: T-A-L-E-N-T
By LAURA GILMORE
About fifty per cent of the peo
ple in the world are talented. Are
you among this percentage? If so,
are you neglecting your talent?
Anyone who has been endowed
with another self should use it to
make his outer self radiate. For in
stance, if a student can paint, sing,
write, act, or do anything that an
ordinary person can not master,
he is usually out front exhibiting
his talents.
Talent is “the spice that adds
flavor to the meat.” Of course,
the meat can be eaten without add
ing the spice, but it will taste flat
and smell unappetizingly. This is
also true of the person who does
not intermingle his talent with
his other self. All of his efforts
are lacking extra zest and enrich
ment.
FAYETTEVILLE STATE COL
LEGE STUDENTS! Why not use
your talents? If you can give two
reasons why a person would let
his talent lie dormant indefinitely,
I can give you three reasons in de
fense of the question.
(1) On almost all applications
for jobs in our country, there is
a space provided to list special
talents and skills. If you have a
talent and have not exercised it
regularly, you will find that you
are not as readily prone to do your
best; therefore, you might not get
the job for which you are applying.
(2) If you have one basic talent,
such as, singing, you will probably
acquire other skills as you con
tinue to perform. For instance,
playing the piano will probably be
useful to you when you are re
hearsing a song. You will, there
fore, be inspired to learn how to
play it.
(3) To let your talent remain
useless is not a sign of intelligence.
Do you know of anyone who has
climbed the ladder of success and
left his talents behind? In order
to reach our goals, we must in
corporate every asset that we have
been given.
Are there any challengers to de
fend the other side of the question?
From Thessaly To Troy
The Sigmas
We are very happy to have
Brother Charles Ray Moore as a
member of Phi Beta Sigma Fra
ternity. He is a native of Burgaw,
North Carolina and is the proud
son of Mr. Russell Moore. While
matriculating at Fayetteville State
College, he became very interested
in Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. He
is a very dynamic young man who
plans to promote the fraternity in
every way possible. Brother
Moore’s main objective is to up
hold brotherhood, scholarship, and
service. He is majoring in Elemen
tary Education. For his scholastic
achievement, he has received nu
merous scholarships and grants.
Last year, Brother Moore received
a fifty dollar scholarship from the
fraternity on Honors and Awards
Day. He is one of the leading honor
students in the sophomore class.
Though some of our brothers will
be leaving soon. Brother Moore
plans to accept this great respon
sibility of leadership and to pledge
his full allegiance to Phi Beta
Sigma Fraternity.
Snoopy Talks
First, I would like to thank my
audience for accepting me so very
wonderfully while I was on line.
Many people have the conception
that going on line alone is hard.
Well, really there is nothing to it.
I found it to be a matter of for
getting about the spectators to a
degree and imagine that you are in
a world all by yourself. Perhaps
the most reasuring thing that hap
pened to me on line was when 1
could see and feel myself being ac
cepted by my audience. This I ob
served my first day on line and
especially that night on the block.
In conclusion, even though the
going was tough outside, it was a
pleasure for me to have provided
a small amount of entertainment
for my fellow bronco students.
Serenading the newly crowned Miss Omega Psi Phi, Miss
Betty Jo Baldwin, seated foreground, are from left to right
Brothers Roy Baker, Delano Dubinson, Joe Tyson, William
Westfield, and Steve Thomas.
The Omegas
The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc, recently held its annual smok
er in the Day Students Lounge. Highlighting the eve’s festivities were
the crownings of Miss Omega Psi Phi, and Miss Lampodo for the
school year 1966-67.
Crowned Miss Omega Psi Phi was the beautiful and charming Miss
Betty Jo Baldwin, a junior from Fayetteville, North Carolina.
The Lamps’ choice for Miss Lampodo was the congenial and vivac
ious Miss Georgetta Jordan, a junior from Greensboro, North Carolina.
There were numerous guests on hand for this gala affair. Punch
and cookies were served.
THE ZETAS
The Ivies
The Ivies of the Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority have begun prep
arations for the spring line.
Thus far, they have elected of
ficers. They are the following;
Elaine Walker, president; Nan C.
Miles, secretary; Shirley Lewis,
treasurer; and Judith Dowe-the Ivy
reporter.
The Ivies are planning many
projects to help some of the needy
families in the city. They are mak
ing a special effort to make sure
several of the deprived families
have a happy Easter.
The Ivy Club is proud to ack
nowledge two Dean List students
namely Elaine Walker and Shirley
Lewis.
With much hope and delight-
ment, the Ivies are looking for
ward to the gala affair of becom
ing AKA’s in the spring.
The Crescents
We are fortunate to have an addi
tional three members In the Crescent
Club. They are Little Brothers Lee
Liles, Braxter Akinson, and Leroy Mc
Intyre. We are anticipating their
ing over on the spring line of
sciiool year.
The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority is pleased to add five new sisters
to the family of finer womanhood. We welcome these young ladies
to our sorority because we feel that they will help with the success that
our sorority is now experiencing. We are also proud to have a new
brother, Charles Moore. Our new sisters have already begun to show
their talents on our campus. Our new sisters are: Soror Fonnie Blue,
Dean List student and recent graduate; Soror Henrietta Campbell,
sophomore and member of the college choir; Soror Betty L. Cooper,
junior and Dean List student; Soror Annie Cotton, junior and resident
of the honorary dorm, Smith Hall; and Soror Laura Gilmore, junior
and editor of “The Voice.” With this added talent in our sorority, we
are expecting to surpass our own previous records. NEOPHYTES, we
are proud of you and very happy to have you as sisters.
On February 25, 1967, the annual Zetalite Ball was held in the
Lilly Gymnasium at 8:15. This event was presented by the Gamma Up-
silon Zeta and Omega Beta Chapters of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority,
Inc., and the Zeta Beta Sigma and Pi Chapters of the Phi Beta Sigma
Fraternity, Inc.
The thirty-nine girls presented into society were as follows: Rae-
cene S. Baldwin, Cynthia E. Bell, Arsentha Bryant, Janetta Campbell,
Brenda Carroll, Lynda Carver, Barbara Covington, Maxine Dickens,
Darlene Fairley, Brenda Gerald, Joyce Godwin, Quadlene Hicks, Jac
quelyn Holmes, Edna Marie King, Brenda Little, Bertha McDonald,
Vicky McKoy, Janice McLaurin, Ruthie Bell McLean, Patricia A. Mc
Millan, Sylvia McMillan, Janice McLaurin, Ruthie Bell McLean, Patricia
A. McMillan, Sylvia McMillan, Elirdge L. McNair, Elizabeth M. McNeill,
Sarah Purdie, Claudine M. Roberts, Frances Robinson, Norma L. Rush,
Bonita G. Ryals, Shirley R. Simpson, Jacelyn W. Smith, Jo Ann Smith,
Ila P. Stewart, Cheryl J. Torrey, Algeania M. Warren, Marian D. Wash
ington, Ester M. Williams, and Hattie F. Williams.
Two young ladies on campus were presented at this Ball. They
were Maxine Dickens, a freshman from Tarboro, N. C. majoring in
Mathematics, and Elgenia Marie Warren, a freshman from Benson,
N. C., majoring in English.
The group of young ladies on our campus who are members of
“The Blue and White” are not only products of finer womanhood but
they are also scholars. The requirements for the Dean’s List have been
elevated but this was of little challenge to the Zetas. This Greek-group
had more on the Dean’s List than any other group; therefore, it is
necessary to recognize THE ZETA LIST. This list consists of four jun
iors: Mattie L. Cogdell, Fayetteville; Betty L. Cooper, Wade; Mary
McLaurin, Maxton and Carolyn Y. Walton, Fayetteville; six seniors:
Fonnie R, Blue, Marietta; Rosetta Evans, Fayetteville; Cleo E. Gatling,
Virginia; Opera A. Loftin, Southern Pines; Carol F. Moore, Burgaw;
and Edna M, Tisdell, Fayetteville.
Two members of the sorority received degrees at the end of the
first semester and have begun serving their communities. They are
Harriot Moore and Fonnie Blue.
