THE VOICE
OCTOBER 31, 1975
men’s Assembly
b, B„,sk Successful
Dr. Claude Stephens, M.D. was the guest speaker at the
Men’s Assembly program held October 9,1975, at Vance Hall. The
topic of the program was “Changing Patterns In Social Sexual
Behavior”.
The guest speaker was well introduced by Associate Dean of
Women, Dean A.T. Robinson, and the Men’s Assembly’s two most
notable advisors, Dean of Students, Dean J.C. Jones and
Associate Dean of Men, Dean J.A. McCoy. Other leading coor
dinators of the program were President of Vance Hall, Jessie
Dickens and President of the Men’s Assembly, Boysie Jackson.
The program’s objectives was to provice an initial and
primary outlook into sexual and social aspects or affairs. The
definite importance of ethical or behavorial changes and patterns
in college students today are actually remote, with great in
fluence on the sexual conditions or concerns of male-female
relationships. Such a topic is very broad, though the program was
successful in its questionable unlimitations.
Throughout the campus at FSU, everyone is frequently
wondering whether the male-female sexual relationships are
becoming too noticable, too out-of-hand, or too unrespectful.
Thus, the program and its essence visualized the typical
uniqueness of male-female relationships, their heredity traits
with such behavior, and channels of how procedural conditions or
corrections in such matters are to be taken.
A definite success is what you may consider such an “open”
program. You should have been there.
Career Planning
and Placement
by Charles Jones
The Career Planning and Placement Service is one of the
many different programs that Fayetteville State University has
to offer. One of toe primary functions of this office is to assist the
student in choosing a career, preparing the student, so that he is
able to enter and progress in his field. The program is widely
concerned with students throughout their college career.
The successful “Placement” for a student is a culmination of
several factors: “A complete understanding of himself, his in
terest, aptitudes, motivations, strengths and weaknesses with a
complete understanding of the nature and requirements of the
opportunities available and a carefully organized plan for ap
proaching and obtaining a job.”
The key-note to placement is service first to the student, then
to the employer and the institution. One of these services offered
is planning and guidance for the student in the early years of his
or her college experience. This is helpful to those who may not
know how they will make a living. “The ultimate goal of the
placement process is employment. The office tries to establish,
maintain and service contacts with as broad a selection of em
ployers as possible with career oriented summer opportunities,”
as reported by the Placement Office.
Credentials in which references are assembled for seniors
are brought up to date with the co-operation of each individual as
an alumnus, so that at any time during his life when the need
arises for him to become actively registered with the office, they
will be at hand. Placement follow-ups provide information con
cerning graduates of Fayetteville State University. The principle
tools of the Career Planning and Placement Service are the
career library and counseling.
The Career Planning and Placement Office is located in
room 101 of the Smith Building. All undergraduates are urged to
get acquainted with the office as soon as possible. Milton J.
Yarboro serves as Director of Career Planning and Placement.

ilfrs. Hightower: An Interesting
Periodical Herself
by Sheryl Alexander
Mary Raye Hightower,
Periodicals Librarian, at
Chesnutt Library on the
Fayetteville State University
campus is a native of
Fayetteville. She attended the
local public schools and
received a B.S. in Elementary
Education from Fayetteville
State University. She con
tinued study at North Carolina
Central College in Durham,
where she received a master’s
degree in Library Science.
Mrs. Hightower has a
warm and congenial per
sonality and seems com
pletely content with her work
at the library. She has been
binding copies of the “Voice”
newspaper since 1966. “I try to
bind as many issues of the
“Voice” as possible so that
students can use them for
reference or to simply be
available to those who wish to
come back after graduation to
review their past years at
F.S.U. Aside from binding
copies of the “Voice” she also
binds Ebony magazines and
began recently bind Jet
magazines. Holding up a
bound collection of Jet
magazines she said, “I had
this binding done in lilac
because I associate it with the
beautiful flower, lilac and I
just don’t believe in drab
colors,” she laughed, “you
can be black and still ap
preciate bright colors.”
Aside from sending
magazines and news[»pers to
the bindery, Mrs. Hightower
processes periodical and
checks them upon their
return, surpervises student
workers, claims missing
issues of magazines, keeps
periodical records current
and prepares an annual report
each year, which goes to the
Director of Library Sciences
at Fayetteville State
University, Mrs. Nathalene
Smith.
Mrs. Hightower is a
member of Zeta Phi Beta
Sorority, the North Carolina
Library Association as well as
being a member of the First
Baptist Church, in Fayet
teville, and was recently
elected treasurer of NCCU-
School of Library Science
Alumni Association.
She spoke affectionately
of the schools she attended,
“During my elementary and
high school years, Newbold
Laboratory School was shifted
from a high school to an
elementary school, it all
depended on how many
students there were for that
particular year. Newbold was
where Fayetteville State
University students did their
practice teaching, and all of
the teachers at Newbold had a
master’s degree or higher.
The classrooms were divided
so that a teacher could meet
the needs of two different
groups of students at one
time! Those who progressed
fast and those who were
slower.
When I attended Fayet
teville State University there
was no student newspaper. We
did, however, have a
newsletter which was called
the “Smithsonian”, named
after Dr. E.E. Smith. The
name of that was changed
later on.
As a hobby, Mrs.
Hightower is learning to play
the organ. She equally enjoys
painting, collecting stamps
and reading poetry. “I love
Negro spirituals written in
dialect. My favorite is “Sweet
‘Lil’ Jesus Boy” and I sing it
every year at my church.
Negro spirituals are not so
concerned with speaking the
language properly as it is with
expressing what is felt in the
heart.”
