The task you have undertaken as an FSU student is not easy. In order to gain all of these benefits of education at this insti tution of higher learning, students must seize the educational resources with zest. For example, some of these resources include the Chestnutt Library, the Learning Lab, the Audio- Visual Lab, Communications Center, and Tutorial Program. It is really bad that FSU students are not taking advantage of the above facilities. To truly educate is sometimes difficult. A student Is not totally educated if he thinks only academically, for Fayetteville State University offers more than academic opportunities. Students must participate in extracurricular activities if they are to become a total individual. Some of these activities are right at your fingertips and some of the students are taking ad vantage of them. But not nearly enough are Involved. Students, we must become acquainted with reality. Although there are tremendous resources on this campus to be absorbed by FSU students, it is extremely imperative that students trans cend the boundaries of our campus. In order to accomplish a meaningful and profitable exper ience from the real world, a student must utilize the immed iate community and its vast resources. Fayettevil'.e State University is growing fast. Are you moving Bt/ Jadt/ K. Mooa& TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR Homecoming is a marvelous and dynamic week. And why not, it serves its purpose, at least for us - It’s sort of a home away from home, giving all of us a relief. I am sure that we are in need of some type of (time-off for good behavior) after the task of surviving mid-term week. The great events to be blamed for our pleasure starts Oc tober 23, with the Coronation of Miss Patricia Spinks, Miss Homecoming, in Lilly Gymnasium featuring the “Soulful Strut ters”. October 24, there is a marvelous dance at the Utopia Lounge, starring “The Majors”. Next, October 25, the fresh men will do their thing, an event that is looked forward to every year. October 26 is another spectacular dance at the U- topia Lounge featuring the "Soul Serenaders”. October 27 is a very special night, because of the special events that are going to take place, first it’s the Bonfire, and then the Pre-dawn dance. October 28 is the finishing touch. The Mighty Broncos host the Vikings of Elizabeth City. I hope very much that this day will begin with the end of the Vikings. However, one might say, are all these activities really ne cessary? There is no doubt in my mind. We need something to take us from the dally routine of classes. I suppose it could be argued that Homecoming is too time consuming, there won’t by any studying, or skipping of classes. This may be true and It may not. I am not arguing against Homecoming week, are you? You and I both know we need a change in the routine- As it is said, “All work and no play ” Homecoming is an inspiring time for everyone. A time for a little fun, and believe it or not, it can also be educational. A part of your education is to learn to work together and to or ganize- Something that takes a lot of organization, planning, and co-operation is our parade. Broncos, let’s get together and have a good dme.T! Joseph N. Holden Co-Editor Nov.7 Vote Diane Moore, a freshman from Warsaw said, “I’m voting for McGovern because he’s a Democrat.” Rocky Mount freshman, Glenda Parker, said, “Nixon is prob ably a better man for the position, but I'm a traditional Demo crat William F. Moore, a Junior from Winston-Salem questions both candidates’ position on blacks- “The lesser of the two evils is probably McGovern,” he said. Mavis Smith, Sophomore from Murfreesboro feels that, "Nixon has had his chance, I’m voting for McGovern.” Macklyn McDonald, a junior English major from St. Pauls, said she was undecided on how she would vote. "I don’t agree with all of McGovern’s radical policies,especially the military cutbacks. They would leave our country defenseless.” Senior Robert Williams, a native of Fayetteville, is also undecided on how he is going to vote. "McGovern is constantly changing his views. Nixon is doing the same thing. Nixon’s Inconsistent views can be seen in his about-face policies,” Williams said. President Nixon polled only 7% of the vote, while 78 of the 461 students polled were undecided as to how they would vote in November ■ In the gubernatorial race, Bowles polled 79% of the vote, while 13% of those polled were undecided. Holshouser received only 9% of the vote. Marsha Drake, freshman from Bethel, said, ‘I’m voting for Bowles. He seems to really care about the people of North Car olina.” Most students who were questioned, however, expressed little interest in the governor’s race. Sophomore Mavis Smith said, “the national election overshadows the state election.” Jacklyn McDonald said, "The governor’s race is a person ality race, not a political platform race.” Robert Williams said, “Holshouser is probably a better can didate for governor of North Carolina, but I’m voting for Bowles because he is on the Democratic ticket.” SGA COMMENTS The social life for FSU stu dents seems to have greater potentials this year, although the SGA’s budget isn’t much larger than it was in the past. FSU students have finally realized that the social life on campus is very limited and have, thus, begun to "make the best” of what we have in stead of complaining and wish ing for things that are virtual ly impossible. Nevertheless, let’s find out if we all have the same concept of "social life” before we start com mending ourselves. We as a student body can get involved much more than we are at the present. I see a need to get ac quainted with our community, after all, our futures will be determined by whether they ac cept us or not. Unfortunately, it will be the responsibility of the majority of the student body to carryout this act. The only way we can do this Is by first getting our selves on basically the same common Interest, which is UN ITY. For those who have construc - tlve criticism and helpful sug gestions towards the Improve ment of campus and commun ity social aspects, please feel free to come by the SGA of fice and relate them to me.
