PAGE 6 VOICE JANUARY 31. 1975 Registration At FSU Can Be Hectic...Chilly...And Fun mm Aw STUDENTS STAND IN LINE OUTSIDE GYM... 1^;;, GET READY TO PAY FEES... PAY FEES AND SMILE... A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste I am sure you have heard the above statement a countless number of times on television, and I often wonder if most students at Fayet teville State University are cognizant of its real significance. As Placement Director at Fayetteville State, I am becoming increasing! alarmed that too many of our students are wasting their minds. Today’s world is a demanding world. Above all, it demands quality and competency. If you are one who is contented with just getting by and not acquiring the best possible education during your four years here, I suggest you withdraw im mediately rather than be faced with the frustration of trying to secure employment if you accidentally graduate. Students, it is imperative that you set your priorities and discipline your mind. Too many of you appear to be majoring in such things as “student unionlogy, car- dology, partyology, frater nity, sorority, and social clubology.” Grant you, these things are fine in their proper per spective, but not a priority for attending college. I have often said that the very freedom that we have gained could be the freedom that will destroy us. Freedom without discipline is chaotic. You must set your goals, realize your purposes for attending college and move methodically to accomplish these ends. During a recent in terview, Dr. Benjamin Mays, an outstanding black educator was asked, “What advice would you give the black youth of today?” He sn- swered, “As for a black youth, I have said and I still say, ‘yes, I am for black awareness and I am for black power - and black is beautiful’. But rhetoric doesn’t train your mina. Rhetoric doesn’t give you a skill. I say to them as I would say to whites or to anybody, a man is respected in this world only because he knows how to do something well and he has a skill that the community needs. But he shouldn’t expect anybody to be easy on him because he has been discriminated against, because he has been segregated, or because his ancestors were slaves. He should expect, however, special opportunity to over come handicaps of the past. You may not escape being discriminated against if you are competent. But if you are not competent, if you are not trained, welfare will be your lot.” In other words, young people, there is no substitute for competency. In closing, I challenge you to re-evaluate your thinking, set your priorities and settle for nothing less than the best. You owe it to yourself, your parents, your community and to your country. Milton J. Yarboro Director of Placement - Fayetteville State University.
