HECTOR McEACHERN COPS VICE PRESIDENCY
Keyes Run-Off Winner
INCOMING President,
Mr. Booker T. Keyes
OUTGOING President
Mr. James Walker
WALTON, GILMORE, RAY
AMONG WINNERS
By Laura Gilmore
The leading voice for next
year will be that of Mr. Booker T.
Keyes. He is a math major who
hails from Blounts Creek, North
Carolina Mr. Keyes held the
position of Vice President of the
Student government last year. He
is also an active member of the
student body and holds member
ship in several campus organiza
tions.
In his inaugural address, which
he made on May 16, 1967, Mr.
Keyes outlined the aims and goals
of the newly elected student
government, and he pleaded for the
moral support of every member of
the student body.
In gratitude for being elected
president, Mr. Keyes assured the
student body that, “I shall always
be striving to elevate the academic
level and to enrich the environ
ment of Fayetteville State College.”
He has recommended the
following proposals to be incor
porated as a part of school policy
for next year:
(1) No examinations will be
given before the second full
day of orientation, in order
to better acquaint freshmen
with placement examinations.
This measure should improve
the grades made on these
tests.
(2) Academic aid for those who
desire special help in obtain
ing a sound education; em
ployment of additional guid
ance counselors to help stu
dents with their problems;
students and faculty should
set up an extensive tutorial
program for students that
would benefit the tutor and
the tutored (As an incentive
to do the job well, the tutors
will receive financial assis
tance).
(3) Increased motivation for
learning in classroom and
campus situations. This re
quires interaction between
teachers-students and students
students.
(4) Additional teachers in the
history department.
(5) In regard to social activities,
a few movies will be shown
on Sunday afternoons; regu
lar dances will be held in the
dayroom and in the gym;
equipment for playing sports
will be issued to the student
government.
(6) A dramatic effort to improve
school spirit will be institut
ed.
To help Mr. Keyes make these
proposals realities, he will be ably
assisted by the other newly elect
ed members of the student govern
ment.
Mr. Hector McEashern, a soph
omore from Fayetteville, N. C., has
been chosen as Vice-President elect
He is an English major. Mr. Me
Eachern has stated that he will
support Mr. Keyes in all of his
proposals and endeavors for next
year; further, he expressed his
desire, “To be like a spare tire for
the main wheel.” Mr. McEachern
does not want to thank the student
body for their votes of confidence
at this time; however, he intends
to show his thanks by fulfilling
the capacity of Vice President to
the best of his ability.
Hattie Johnson, a junior from
Fairfax, S. C., has been chosen to
be the scribe for next year’s
student government. Miss Johnson
is a business education major which
in itself qualifies her for her
position.
Mr. Charles Moore, judge-
elect, is a member of the sopho
more class who is working toward
a major in elementary education.
His hometown is Burgaw, N. C.
His attitude toward his new pos
ition can be summond up in the
following quote; “Impartiality to
none and justice to all.”
Lonnie Smith, a sophomore
from Newburg, New York, will
serve as Business manager for next
term. Undoubtedly, Mr. Smith will
handle all of our Students Govern
ment business with efficiency.
The Fayettevillian, our school
annual, will be in the capable hands
of Miss Cassandra Wallace. She is
a junior from Durham, N. C. Miss
Wallace has served on the Annual’s
staff in the past and is now anxious
to serve as its Editor.
Serving as Editor of the Voice
for the second time will be Laura
Gilmore, a junior from Fayetteville
N. C., a business education major
who enjoys the literary world.
Miss Gilmore feels able to serve
in this capacity.
Carolyn Yvonne Walton, Miss
Fayetteville State College 1967-68,
is a charming, studious asset to the
college family. Miss FSC-elect is a
junior from Fayetteville, N. C. Her
major field of study is English,
and she is also concentrating in
the area of French. Miss Walton
is a genuine young lady, with out
standing characteristics in her
Miss Carolyn Yvonne Walton
Miss FSC
favor. We should profit greatly
from her reign next year.
Miss Cora Ray, Miss Home-
coming-Elect, is a sophomore from
Raleigh, N. C. She is a mathmatics
major. Her sister, Miss Mary Ray,
was Homecoming Queen for 1964-
65. Miss Ray intends to hold up the
family tradition and to represent
FSC in the finest manner possible.
The attractive coed urges all stu
dents to get the spirit of homecom
ing so that our annual reunion will
be a success.
Miss Maxine Dickens is a fresh
man from Tarboro, N. C. She is
working on a major in Mathmatics
Miss Dickens radiates charm all
over FSC campus. In the recent
May Day exercises. Miss Dickens
turned on the charm and made a
gloomy day much brighter.
With such a commendable list
of officers for next year, how can
our program for next year fail? Be
fore you try to answer this question,
the student Government members
request your whole-hearted support
for next year.

Dollars For
Scholars Windup
BY MARY C. PERRY
Every since early December,
the students have been constantly
trying to sell tickets to aid in the
Scholarship Fund prive for Fay
etteville State, headed by Dr. Pace.
The slogan for this organiza
tion is, “Dollars for Scholars.” As
you know everything great has to
climax at one time or another; well
this program reached its pe^ on
May 5, 1967, with our Scholarship
Dance.
Many of the students danced
and enjoyed themselves as they
kept their fingers crossed hoping
to win one of the three wonderful
prizes: the G. T. O., the T.V., or
the portable radio.
During intermission the ticket
for these prizes were drawn. The
third prize, a 1967 portable radio,
went to one of our very lucky
students, Mr. James Mitchell who
bought only one ticket. Second
prize, a 1967 console television
set, went to Mr. William Warmack
of Fayetteville, N. C., and the
First and biggest prize of them all
went to Mr. C. S Y.ates, Jr. of
Ahoskie, N. C. I know you wish
that you could have been the
winner of a 1967 G. T. O. Pontiac
FINAL EXAMS

Minutes have gone to hours,
hours have gone to days, and days
have gone to weeks, and once
again it’s HERE. What’s here?
That period that everybody waits
on yet no one wants to see—Exam
Time
Yes exam time is here, so
gather up your books, kiss your
sweeheart good-bye (for the next
few days), wave your hands to
socials and move your quarters
to the library.
Final exams—just the name
strikes awe in the hearts of many.
The thoughts of failingcreeps into
their minds. Well, it’s that time
again because the week of May 22
is exam week. Seniors, however,
took their exams earlier.
As is usual at this time of
year, everyone will try to pack
a half of a semester’s work into
