A few years ago parents and friends urged young sters to go on to College; after all, it did not take but four short years. They added, too, that many, many opportunities were open to those who had degrees. At the present time however, the college graduate is urged and encouraged to further his studies at the graduate level. Some of this prompting to get students into graduate schools is being done by large corpora tions and foundations who have set aside available funds for financing students who want to do graduate study. Some students still might wonder whyitisso import ant to go to graduate school. Here are some of the rea sons in favor of continuing studies beyond the graduate level. (1) There is more time to explore your particular area of concentration. On the undergraduate level many students are so involved in various activities which require a lot of valuable time; whereas graduate students elevate most of their time to their books. (2) Many well-trained persons who are qualified to teach college subjects are needed. If an influx of graduate students could penetrate these needed areas, this problem could be alleviated. (3) Financial rewards are greater if a student has completed his graduate studies. Since we have established some of the benefits of graduate work, now the problem is when should stu dents begin these studies? In my opinion, there are two things that every prospective graduate student should take into consideration. First, what do I need to con centrate on most of all in graduate school, and second, when should I go to graduate school—directly after finishing undergraduate school or later on? It is my opinion that these questions have to be answered by the individual involved, but, personally, let me advise everyone to go on to graduate school. The Editor CAN WE BE ONE? Frequently the low toned man is hung up in the world’s hostilities and with the vexation of lost minds which are parallel to conformity. It is hard for the low toned man to excape the uni formity of society without being categorized as one of “those.” Perhaps the conformer will gradually enter into the bag of the nonconformer and when this is achieved, he will immigrate into the world of aware ness; for those who dare to ponder and to find this profound ’’bag;” which i can’t depict that many will, for they know what they must and will do for the un fortunate mortal. Don’t be a deplorable human, get ready, strike, be a low toned man! Williams NEGRO; The Word and The Meaning If you use the word “Negro” in your TOcab- ulary, stop! Why stop us ing the word “Negro?”? Because this word does not describe the Black man in America or any where else. Going to a number of reference books, we get a somewhat muddled pic ture. In the Encyclopedia Britannica (1961), it states: “The word “Ne gro” is capitalized in the United States but not else where.” Why would a word be capitalized only in the United Stats' Why would the so-called name of a people be a Nation alism, and not accepted all over the world? In the Funk and Wagnalls Standard College Diction ary, Negro is defined as, (1) a member of Negroid, ethnic division of man kind, especially one in habiting the Congo and Sudan regions of Africa. How many of us can say if our roots go back to the Congo or Sudan? We came (our ancestors that is) from all parts of Af rica and some parts of Asia. The dictionary goes on to state(2) “One who is of Negroid stock or has Negro ancestors.” Going on in the same dictionary I looked up “Negroid,” which is de fined as, (1) “pertaining to or belonging to a ma jor ethnic division of the human species, charac terized by skin color, ranging from dark brown to almost black, hair black and usually wooly or fuzzy, slight body hair, a broad or flat nose,full, often everted lips and a generally prognuthous face. Prognuthous is de fined as “having abnor- nally projecting jaws. That means the degree of normality is based on a white standard of looks and beauty: flat buttocks, long straight animal-like hair, small lips, long aqualine nose, etc. Many times you have heard that “negro”comes from Latin. I went to Cas sell’s Latin-English Dic tionary and looked up the presupposed root word “Niger” and it was de fined as (1) of, or relat- (Contined on Page 3) There is S+ill limp : Have You Lhosen Correcfly P Onihe Road ■fo Success "fhere are On ffie Road fo Failure "fhere is rewO'rcis> DQ chnllen^e, ,c(xnpeiiiion or rewarci.

Fayetteville itate College is a family school for 41 per cent of 330 entering freshmen ana transfer stuaents. 2. The family relationship of persons attending FbC prior to 1^8 (forty- one per cent) entering students is predominately female. 3. That the prior-attenoing relatives of the female entering students graduatea in lurger numbers anu percentages than the prior^attending relatives of the male entering students. 4. That female students (N-39) were more than doubly enclined to attend FdC in coirpdiiy with a family relative than were the entering mole students (N-17). 5. l^ese data also suggest sources and agents to which/whom the College may further tactfully exploit for fruitful recruitment, conversely, these data Identifies sources and agents of student recruitment that are dS yet largely unt«ippea. Loopholes ana Interesting opeculations 1. ..hat is the sex of the cousins of 8u matriculating stuuents?—The present more generali^ea response in .^uestion . raises the speculation as to whether a more exact response would have viuened or closea the numbers and percentages gap between male and female attenders of FijC. The wisdom of hindsight discloses two loopholes in ^uestion five through which now desirable information escaped brings to mind the following (^eries: (a) 56 entering students have relatives presently enrolleu in the college, but unknown are the number of relatives and of this unaeterwined number of relatives how many are male? how many are female?; (b) Of the a7U entering students irtio uo not now have relatives enrolleu at F^C, how many «re male and female? how many of AArh neoc are reslaent or non*resident stuaents? A fool and his money are soon parted. The rest of us just wait until income tax time. “It is better to have loved and lost than to have to help six children with their arithmetic home work”.
