PAGE 2 THE VOICE MARCH, 1973 Where Walks Morality By Edward Wiltong There was a resolution in New York City ot legalize prostitution during a city council meeting, January 26, 1973. A councilman sponsored the measure, calling for the est ablishment of “red light” dis tricts in Industrial areas with prostitutes receiving regular medical checkups. He went on to state that leg alized prostitution would cut crime, reduce the spread of veneral disease, curb police corruption, and relieve court overcrowding. VOICE Chuckle A Reformer is one who insists upon his conscience being your guide Mjsik out there and I’m going to get it. TED WILLIAMS THINK! GIVE EM A BREAK Oft times individuals and objects can exist and many persons never know why tliey are around. It’s quite obvious that commercial enterprises and outlets exist for the rewards that come with it. Fayetteville State University has many friends and tliey contribute to the University in numerous ways. It goes with out saying that the institution is proud of tlieir association with these persons and strive here to retain their friend ship. Indeed this is the only way it should be. Perhaps it should be stated here tliat the university has many conveniences. Suppose that you had to walk to the neighborhood store for a soft drink on a cold night. The mental and physical wear is more than the cost of the liev- erage. That brings us to the crux of the matter. The vending ma chines on the campus are the property of the Coca Cola Bot tling Company. According to Mr. Henry Hutaff, a member of the Fayetteville State University Foundation Board of Dir ectors; this firm has been making a sizable donation to the institution for more than 15 years. Recently, they presented the university $2,000 to be used unrestricted. Much of this is returned to the students in ways -- advertising in our ath lete souvenir brochures, the official scoreboard on the Uni versity Athletic Field (note that the sign does not have any advertising on it) and other ways. Give em a break! Simply stated when persons damage the machines and break in, it only serves to reduce the amount of contributions that the university would normally receive. Funds used for repairs and replacements do not come easy, so you see it hurts the university. Be on guard to prevent this and the students and Fayetteville State University will reap greater re wards.

Also this year tliere will be on the ballot two very impor tant issues. The first is the ratification of the new consti tution. Secondly, the ballot will include revisions in the dining hall...Campaign speeches will be given Tuesday, March 3,” YOUTH I IS I I BEAUTIFUL | Urlticism, The Great Campus €op-out Criticism is a handy old tool - one of the most widely used of them all. People use it in all phases of human interaction. Some of us even make it our good deed for the day i>y putting the word “constructive” in front of it. Let’s face it - crit icism IS criticism. If it does any good at all, it is nominal. Furthermore, criticism is habit forming, as well as conta gious, Who needs it? Black people have been on the re ceiving end of this national past-time for centuries. Look around at FSU, we’re using it on ourselves! Just listen! “Dr, Smith isn’t teaching anything. He doesn’t want us to ask questions. He’s l)oring. His methods are old, out-dated, and he isn’t teaching relevent materials,” “Students just don’t want to learn anymore. They’re not interested. They’re lazy. They don’t come to class,” “Student workers aren’t dependable. They come on duty late, then leave early. They loaf - never do what they’re supposed to do. All they want to do is get over.” “Man, these people around here act like we’re on regular 9 to 5 jobs. They don’t want to give us any slack. We’re got other things to do besides work.” “Johnny, that would be a better report if you went into more detail, made some posters and showed a filmstrip. You need to be more enttiusiastic about the possibility of life on the moon. Get involved with your report,” “When I was young, I didn’t blame the world for my pro blems. When I needed something, I went out and worked for it. The only thing young people today want to do is sit around and plait those ridiculous braids on their heads. They have no motivation.” “Those people in administration don’t know wtiat they’re doing. If I were running things I would ” This could go on and on, but when all the fault is found, what ttien? Think. When it comes to criticism, two nega tives multiplied rarely produce a positive. Moreover, idle criticism is a waste of time and energy that could be well used elsewhere. Remember that old saying, “if you can’t say something good about somel)ody, don’t say anything at all”? If if had been put into practice around campus lately, conversation would have t>een at a minimum. Let’s come down hard on criticism. Up with positive action, praise, unity, pride, and progress for all black people. Temptations Resign By Edward Wilfong The Temptations are not leaving after 10 years with the soul town, Motown. Dennis, Demon, Richard, Melvin and Otis are the Temptations, The Temptations and they have resigned with Motown. Yes, my goodness, yes. The Temptations new album Mas terpiece is doing well and their previous album All Dir ections has not stopped rolling. Evidently, The Temptations plan to stay one of the top re cording artists in the nation. When they started in the 60’s with such hits as “My Girl”, “Beauty is Only Skin Deep”, and other great hits and not anyone can say it will ever stop.
