TRASH HILL
Recently Fayetteville
State University held its
annual homecoming game.
That’s when I really took
notice of how ridiculously
trashy our football field ap
peared. I then took a look at
the overall appearance of the
campus and found it to be the
same.
A college campus is
usually recognized for its
neatness and beauty. When
visitors are on a campus that
is neat and well-kept, it sort of
symbolizes what the school
and students are like.
Our campus, lots of times,
is adorned with wine bottles,
beer cans, empty cigarette
packs, and the like. We have
so much little trash around
here at times that it blends in
with the grass. The day of our
homecoming game, this
campus looked awful,
especially all the way down in
front of the bleachers and over
by the concession stands.
People seeing the campus
in this state of condition may
get the idea that these may be
Uie type of students boarding
on this campus. That I can say
is simply not true. The first
impression is said to be the
last impression so let’s make
ours a good one.
Sure, we have caretakers
for campus but they cannot
get around to picking up every
small piece of trash and that’s
where we come in.
Every little piece of trash
adds up, so we should start
refraining ourselves from the
careless habit of throwing it
down. Also it doesn’t hurt to
pick that piece of trash up
you’re walking over. Let’s
take on the responsibility of
caring a little more about the
appearance of our campus
and encourage others to do
likewise.
Let’s bend a little and help
the caretakers.
Remember, every little
bit hurts!

Letters to the
Editor are welcome!
OPEiV LETTER
TO CHANCELLOR
CHARLES A. LYONS
Dear Dr. Lyons:
During October, 1974, the local press carried several articles
that suggested financial mismanagement and policy violations at
Fayetteville State University by your administration.
Please know I have total confidence in your leadership of
Fayetteville State University. Continue to move “The People’s
University” along a constructive path. This landmark of long
distinctive service needs your superintendency.
As the most recent periodic attempt to disrupt Fayetteville
State University evaporates, the entire college community
supports you in the future as it has done in the past.
Sincerely,
Myland Brown, Ed. D.S.S., Chairman
Division of Social and Behavioral Sciences
Dear Editor:
I’m glad someone spoke
out about the men on
Fayetteville State Campus. I
admire that in a woman and I
know that girls aren’t
satisfied. It may be to your
surprise, that it is mostly your
own fault.
There are only a few
which spoil the whole bunch,
and I blame you for letting
them boast and carry on as
they do. There are some guys,
like me, who can’t afford big
rides, or recited poetry, or
look sexy, who suffer- I say
dig on our hearts. I’m sure
you’ll like it.
That “jive turkey” wears
dresses, also. I’m tired of
being a fool. I’m not defending
my brothers because I can’t
tell them how to love. It has to
be learned. Wouldn’t it be
wonderful if we could learn
together? However, there are
some women who just refuse
to be satisfied.
FSU women, I pray that
our hearts find that mighty
love. It’s your choise between
Super Fly, a puppet, and a
man. FSU does have some
dynamite men -GIVE US A
CHANCE! I’VE ALREADY
DECIDED TO BE SWEETER
THAN I WAS YESTERDAY.
Dwayne Burris.
NOTICE
TO STUDENTS
Each year students encounter numerous difficulties due to
the lack of familiarality with their program requirements.
It is highly suggest^ that you read your catalogue and know
all academic regulations as well as your program requirements.
This is very important and would help deter a number of needless
problems which could arise.
Fayetteville State University’s policy concerning academic
r^ulations entail that every paper and test be graded and con
formed to the instructor’s grading system. The grading system
for any course should be listed on the course syllabus given out by
the instructor.
Half of man’s problems are due to lack of business
knowledge; knowledge of what is their business and what is none
of their business. This quip also applies to students. Some feel that
they are being “messed over” academically. In compliance with
University policy, every student is entitled to review and
clarification of questions on given materials. If you think you
have not been graded fairly, you may get any of your grades
clarified by the instructor. But there is a right and a wrong way to
go about getting something done.
You should try to get any problems or discrepences solved by
dealing with your instructor. Then, you should follow this chain of
command until proper actions or revisions are made, go to your:
1. Advisor
2. Department head
3. Division Chairman
4. Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs.
However, be sure you are not making a mountain out of a mole’s
hill - get your facts straight.
Being a student is like having a full time job; and your job is
to study and learn. Budget your time to study as you would budget
your time for the job.
Now is the time to start working on your second semester
schedule. Begin to make plans to register within the designated
time. Registration will close promptly at 4:00 p.m. Tuesday,
January 21, 1975.
Read your catalogue very carefully for actions to take when
missing a comprehensive exam. Know what is expected of you
and you won’t be left standing there.
