Page 4 THE VOICE February 11, 1972 Things Looking Up But We JNeed You By BRENDA WATSON Things are really looking up for the Voice Staff this term. Vie are off and running td a beautiful start and hopeful for a semester of repeated sue- cess. Working along with our staff from last term, we have many new staff members who are very interested and direct- ing all their energies toward making the paper one of which we will all be very proud. We have high hopes and a dedicated hard-working staff,but there's one thing more that we need. We need you-the students. We need your support. So, if you desire to express your opi nions, express them in letters to the editor-if you are poeti cally inclined or artistically in clined, send in a poem or a book review or a drawing of some sort (remembering to sign your name so that you may be given credit for your work). If we work together as a uni fied force striving toward a com mon goal, our paper will be the best ever; but if we split not equally sharing the work or one force contributing more than the other, our paper will suffer greatly. Remember students-it’s up to us-our paper will be as good you and as we, as a staff Iwlp to make it. We are ready and raring to go-how about you? It’s 2 a.m. - I’m Sick But The Infirmary Is Closed By JOSEPH HOLDEN The place to depend on when you are ill should be the infir mary. It should be a place where people are polite and, most im portant, understanding. Here at Fayetteville State, the hours and procedures seem, somewhat, unjust. The infirmary is only open during certain hours. Monday-Friday it is open from 8:00 until 11:00 a.m, and 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. It is closed on Sundays and holidays, except for emergencies. If there is an emergency, the dormitory direc tor has to notify the infirmary before he can be taken to it. Is this the "insurance policy" to prove that one is sick, like the insurance policy the hospital uses to make sure it is going to get its money? Many students will not go to the infirmary unless it is absolutely necessary. They usually say that it won’t help because everyone, no matter what his illness, re ceives the same medication. The doctor is available on Monday, Tuesday, Wedn^day and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. There was at least one case this year when the doctor could not be reached during an emer gency. It was left to the nurses to do what they could for the student. Since the doctor can not al ways be on duty, and one doesn’t know when he is going to be sick, why not have a 24 hour shift for the nurses? The infirmary is not all bad. One can always go there to get relief from minor aches and pains, if he doesn’t get sick when it isn’t open. Campus Security Does Anyone Keally Care? By CORINTH DAVIS After observing our security as compared to that of other Black state supported schools, one would think no one really cares here at F.S.U. On any given day, you are subject to see the campus police in plain clothes because they lack uni forms, A security officer will receive more respect if he’s in uniform. For instance, if a student is on campus looking for a security officer, and the officer is in street clothes how is the student suppose to know whether or not he is an officer? To cite an example; out of the five state supported universities, FSU is the only one that doesn’t have some type of communica tions system, a marked patrol car, and some decent uniforms. Is one to assume that the students or administration does not care that a sister could be attacked and security wouldn’t know about it until a half hour later?

I have hopes of teaching his tory, I also plan to further my education and later be able to help young black students. Pat Mabry I plan to become a Social Wor ker in my community. Debra Nowell I plan to continue to pursue my ultimate goal of becoming a law yer, then work in the South as a trial lawyer. I’m also hoping to do some community organiz- ing to aid all minority groups in gaining their freedoms and a fair share from the present system. Lawrence Greene For example, under the pre- sent system, the security offi- cers only call the switch board every thirty minutes. If a sister happened to be attacked just after the officer had finished his call to the switch board, it would be s^proximately thirty minutes more before the security officer would receive the mess.age, un less someone personally contac ted him or the officer ran into it under normal patrolling. As students at F.S.U., we are constantly searching for ways to. put us on top. Blacks as well as white get the urge that they want to move on up to bigger and brighter things. We start ed out small, but we are grad ually expanding, which will re quire great changes and im provements. Do we really care if security does its job? Never feel that the time will not come when you might need the help of our cam pus police. If we help them, they will do all in their power to make F.S.U. as safe as any campus anywhere. I plan to become a Social Worker and help fight oppres sion in the World. I also hope to Income rich and famous help- ing Black people. Ola Linda Deans I have plans to use my educa tion in opening up my own busi ness. Presently, I have plans for opening a women’s shoe store.
