Will 18-year‘Olds Vote?
Now that they have the right
to vote, will 18-year olds turn
out at the polls this year to have
a significant impact on the re
sults of an election is a ques
tion many politicians are ponder,
ing.
Results of a survey conducted
by the US Census Bureau of the
1968 elections tends to pose this
question.
Findings showed that the yo
unger the voter the less likely
he is to vote. Further, they re
vealed that only about one-half
of those from 21 through 24 went
to the polls in 1968 compared
with about 70% of those 25 and
over.
When Congress passed the bill
to allow 18-year-olds to vote, up
to 21 million more Americans
got the right to vote.
One of the attempts of the bill
is to encourage more participa
tion by citizens in their govern-
ment.
In an interview with the
“Voice”, several FSU students
expressed their opinions about
voting.
Jeanie Staton, 17, from Rocky
Mount says she will register when
her birthday comes in March,
“One of the things I would like
to see changed in this country is
our foraign relations, I wish they
(government) would stop spending
so much money on space explor
ation and use that money for pov-
erty.”
An 18-year-oldfreshmanfrom
Fayetteville said she has not re
gistered but stated she would
before the May primaries. She
vowed to vote “ to get rid
of President Nixon.”
Brenda Holmes, 19, also from
Fayetteville feels that young peo
ple can “make a big difference
if they get out and vote,"
“I feel it would be a great
thing to know that I was partly
responsible for electing the per-
son who funs this country," com-.
mented another 18-year-old
freshmen.
DA Y STUDENTS
PLAN INVOLVEMENT
The Day-Student Association,
off and running this semester,
has planned several projects of
both campus and community cope,
and hopes that other organizat
ions will join it in becoming more
active, John Minte, president of
the Association says, “We must
learn to use our time, energy,
and knowledge to bring about
effective change in the conditions
of ourselves and our brothers and
sisters not within the college
community. No longer can we
hide behind the doors of our clas
srooms and the pages of our text
books. We must begin now to be
involved in that world out there,
which isn't so far away after all."
The Association plans first to
get involved with young persons
who have committed offenses ag
ainst established laws. It hopes
to show these persons that some
one really cares what happens to
them. A seminar entitl^ “US"
is planed for the 14th of Febru
ary in cooperation with the other
campus leaders and groups. The
seminar is to be followed by a
trip to the basketball game at
South Carolina State that evening.
The Association will pay a visit
to one or two of the local training
schools. Here they hope to “bring
the world to those who are not al
lowed to participate in it."
They aso
an to aid needy
members of the community by
collecting and distributing food,
clothing and other necessities.
Minter added, “We feel that the
oppressed need help year-round
not just at Christmas andThanks-
giving. I hope that other organi-
zations feel as we do."
The Association's Annual
Clean-Up Drive is slated to come
off in April and it hope's to carry
out another form of beautification
also.

Graduate Admissions
Assistance Center
Aiding Minority
Students In Grad
School Selection
Minority group students at
Fayetteville State University and
the surrounding area who desire
to go to graduate school have a
smoother road ahead than nor
mally could be expected, accord
ing to Dorcas Bradley, director
of the University Counseling Cen
ter at FSU.
Since Mid-October interested
students have been able to make
use of the Graduate Admissions
Assistance Center. GAAC is a
New York based non-profit place
ment service for can^dates seek
ing master's and doctor’s
grees and advanced certificate
and admission to graduate scho
ols throughout the United Stues
in all fields except medicine Wd
dentistry.
“Many a student who desire
to do graduate work either don’t
know where to get assistance or
don’t have the money that must
accompany each application for
admission to a grad school,"
Miss Bradley said. “Those who
register with GAAC get these
fees waived. In addition their
applications can l)e sent to any
or as many graduate schools
as they wish.
“To get this service, a stu
dent merely pays one 30> dollar
application fee instead of paying
one for each school as in nor
mally done. He writes brief re
sume which includes his grade
pount average and objectives.
Three recommendations from
his department chairman and ma
jor instructors are also includ-
ed.”
GAAC makes the student’s of
ficial record available to a ma
jority of the institutions which of
fer the program of study reques
ted by the applicant. His com
plete record is then sent to the
school of his choice when he de
cides.
Fayetteville State is one of 33
predominately black institutions
serving as coordinating colleges
in the program, others in North
Carolina involved are Bennett
and North Carolina A & T, Gre
