MON. ARNOLD HERARD
By CLIFTON MERVIN
I. What was your first impression
of N. C.?
My first contact with the people
and the community in and around
Fayetteville reminded me of my na
tive land. In Haiti we have wooden
structures, brick structures, the
same as here. The flora is very
similar, apparently. The folk dress,
the features are the same. In other
words, I feel, in proportion to like
nesses, pretty much at home. 1
have found the people friendly and
willing to lend a helping hand.
However, I have only been here
for one month and have not had
the opportunity to learn a great
deal about Fayetteville and North
Carolina. I think I am going to like
it here very much.
II. Do you find that the students
here in N. C. differ from those
elsewhere?
No! The students at Fayetteville
State College are no different than
those of other places. I can say
from my short experience here,
I find them very conscientious.
III. Where did you do your un
der graduate and grdauate study?
I did my under graduate and
graduate study in Haiti. I also
spent two years in France studying
Law. I have a B.A. in Romance
Languages” and Greek from the
Ecole Normale Superieure and a
“License en droit” from the Facul
ty of Law and twenty four hours in
Romance Language toward the
Ph.D. at Fordham University.
It may be interesting to know
something about the educational
system in Haiti. As you know, Haiti
is a former French colony. After
the independence, in 1804, (Haiti
was the second Republic in Ameri
ca), we have preserved the langu
age and the French ways and cus
toms.
Our educational system is the
same as in France: The Primary
School (6 years). You have your
“Certificate d’ Etudes Primaries;”
The primary and superior school
(3 years) for your “Brevet Elemen-
taire et superieur”
The secondary school or the
15 FSC STUDENTS
IN WHO^S WHO
By VERITA BROWN
Dean J. C. Jones informed The
Voice that fifteen FSC students
have been approved by the Na
tional Office for Membership in
“Who’s Who Among Students in
American Universities and Col
leges.”
The students are: Margaret Alice
Blackstock, Bobby Ray Holmes,
Gladys Lee James, Janice Lucille
Lee, Leonza Loftin, Veronica Gail
Lucas, Charles Ray Moore, Delores
Purdie, Lois Vivian Steadman, Cora
Ann Ray, Shirley Annette Streater,
Elaine Walker, Lenora Lee Wilson,
Georgetta Jordan Baker, and Jac
quelyn Vandalia Whitfield.
These students will be contacted
by Mr. H. Pettus Randall, Editor
of “Who's W'ho” to secure informa
tion for publication in the current
book. The students will receive cer
tificates that will be on hand
for presentation on some appro
priate occasion during the year or
at graduation.
Humanities (letters or Science) .6
years) for your (Baccalaureat lere
and 2ere Partie)., and then you
go to The University, that includes
the following Faculties: Faculty of
Law, Faculty of Science, Faculty
of Medicine, Faculty of Agronomy,
Ecole Normale Superieure, Ecole
Superieure d’Administration.
In Haiti, the instruction is grat-
utous to all levels. There are many
private schools. They have a license
to operate. The Department of Edu
cation reserves the power to grant
all certificates after official exam
ination.
IV. Did you have to make any ad
justments to the students and to
the Faculty.
There were no adjustments that
I had to make as a member of the
faculty, but in my classes I find
that the students who have had
two years of French do better work
than those beginning. I want to
help students interested in bring
ing their work up to the level of
the class.
V. Do you feel that the students
at Fayetteville State are as well
learned as students elsewhere?
Of course, I can not say that the
students here are not as students
elsewhere. I have only one phase
of their education, but I can say
as before, I have never come in
contact with more conscientious
and better disciplined students.
Well, Mon cher Clifton, I am
very Happy to welcome you in my
office and I hope that I have an
swered your questions fully. I
would like to extend my compli
ment to the Staff and reporters of
The Voice. Your News has an im
portant part in the academic life
of F.S.C. Toujours du succes’ et de
la Tenue. Thank you.

F.S.C. students above represent
The Student Government’s cam
paign to help beautify the campus.
The idea, originated by Student
Government leaders, headed by
President Booker Keyes, is expect
ed to gain momentum through total
student involvement. “Project
Beautification,” as it is called, has
been planned in such, a manner
that each student, on and off cam
pus, can be expected to lend some
of his time and vigor toward mak
ing FSC’s campus a more beautiful
one.
Lending a hand for the cause
are six loyal students seen in photo
above. The Coeds, Carrie Johnson,
Brenda Wilder and Vedas Thomas
El, add beauty as they work for
beauty’s sake, Vance Sutphin, Craig
Torrey and Fred Hill provide
brawn in the effort. The Student
Government will keep the populace
informed of steps in the process
and it will let students know what
part they can play and when.

By WILLIAM FLAKE

iant, poised Miss Ray commented,
“I think that being able to reign
as Miss Homecoming is a momen
tous experience for any coed. When
you know that everybody in your
college family will be together
for a particular event, it is ex
citing enough, but when you are a
part of all this, the effect is over
whelming.”

Coronation Ball on Friday, Novem
ber 10, 1967, in the Lilly Gym
nasium.
Other homecoming activities in

host to Johnson C, Smith Uni
versity’s “Golden Bull Brigade,”

Dance on Saturday night at 9:90
