!c/\I PAGE 2 Across llOth Street” By EDWARD WILFONG Hey brother, there’s a better way out than snorting that dope; shooting that coke. And Super Fly, the only game you know is to do or die. Many Blacks are down and out in New York City and elsewhere. People, today the times are very serious, but we who have eyes cannot see; we who have ears cannot hear. Today sin gers are telling us of the dan gers in the streets while we, my brothers, dance in a hypno tic state as we are being taken in every way. Bobby Womack’s latest re cording, “Across 110th Street”, tells us to put down that dope, get off the street, and take care of business.Some black people, however, think he is just singing to hear him self sing. Curtis Mayfield told us that Super Fly was just out for “self” and that we should do the same - be glad we have our own. Marvin Gaye was talk ing about some of us when he wrote “Trouble Man”. •Ssr Why do we listen to music and not react to it. The law of nature states that for every ac tion there is a reaction of equal intensity. Today, as many days before, artists such as Curtis May field, Bobby Womack, Billy Paul, Marvin Gaye, as well as many other talented black peo ple are talking to people with deaf ears. Let’s wake ud and listen tothe message these art ists are trying to convey. To day we must look deep into the things that surround us. When truth is put into our hands and we neither feel nor see it, there is cause to be sad. We never know how we will react when under pressure ... “Across 110th Street” is ahell of a t-^ster.

THE VOICE MAY 31, 1973 I I DELANEY ADDRESSES GRADS (Continued from Page 1) “A realistic perception of the present allows us to recog nize that unfilled goals, no mat ter how eloquently articulat ed, remain unfilled because of the inadequacies and imper fections in man”. the present and looks to the fu ture. Confidence is sustained by the past but it is also nur tured by a realistic perception of the present and it gains strength from an understanding of the potential of the future. Dr. Delany said “confidence implies a confrontation with a challenge from which we do not shrink. It is this challenge that is the baton that has been pass ed on to our hands.” Members of the graduating class contributed $1,000 to FSU Emergency Loan Fund, they also presented appreciation plaques to Mrs. M. T. Eld- ridge of the Music Depart ment, and to Miss L. M. Means, university registrar. EDlTOR^S COMMENT By JOSEPH N. HOLDER I appreciate the opportunity of being co-editor with Judy Moore and to work with the other members of the VOICE Staff. Now, I can say. I’ve been a member of some construc tive organization at Fayetteville State. I koow the paper hasn’t pleased everyone, maybe not even a lot of people, but what has ever been done at Fayetteville State that has pleased everyone or any other. There has and always will be criticism directed towards something or some body. I will not say the job of being co-editor has been easy, nor will I believe my co-editor, Judy Moore say it. There is a lot of work to do, if you don’t believe it. just do what Miss Moore and I have done this last school year (72-73). At times it’s very frustrating. There are problems getting material typed, or ganizing material and finishing your final work -- getting it ready to be printed. It may look easy, but it’s nothing to be tak en for granted. When you have such a Job, there are lot of sacrifices you will have to make. It’s not an (easy do-nothing) job. To tell the truth, I have felt like giving up many times, but I never did. I have worked in the VOICE office all day, from the opening until the closing of the center, including Saturday and Sunday. It would be difficult to believe anyone wouldn’t have thoughts of just (hanging -it-up). A large percentage of us are here, knowing that one day we will have to take care of ourselves. I believe while you’re in school is a good time to begin learning how difficult things can be. But it’s not all labor. You get a chance to meet and become acquainted with your own peers. You also get to meet a lot of other interesting people. So there are quite a few advantages in working with the paper. Without the help of Mr. John B. Henderson, Mr. Perry Lea- zer, and Public Relations Secretary, Mrs. Neal, being a mem ber of the VOICE Staff (for me) would have been more than a hassle.
