A Message From
IVew SGA Prexy
Greetings Fellow Bron
cos, This is a honor from God
that I am able to address you
as President of Fayetteville
State University Student
Government Association.
First of all let me take
time out to thank you for
electing me as your student
body president. It shows that
you have placed a lot of faith
and trust in me.
You have done your first
duty as a member of the
Univerisity Family. Your
responsibility does not stop
with the election; it is only the
beginning.
Holding the office of
president of the Student
Government Association is by
no means fun or games. It
requires a lot of hard work
and dedicated service.
Let us not sit back and
criticize the president and
other student body officials.
Instead, give them your moral
support. It is vitally needed.
As we progress into FSU’s
100th year of existence, let us
have a positive attitude
toward ourselves, our fellow
Broncos, and our University.
In these critical times, let
us awaken from that dream of
a revolution taking place and
start making it a reality.
Our purpose here at FSU
lies beyond the point of
academics and partying
alone. However, our purpose
should embrace a totality of
education, religion, creativity
of the mind, and affairs of the
world which are vital to our
very existence on earth.
In short, we should be
about the business of planning
and determining what we will
be or where we are going once
we leave this institution.
Be active in affairs that
occur on campus as well as in
the city. Once we leave, it will
be much too late to catch up on
information we should have
received during our college
years.
In this FSU’s centennial
year and the nation’s bi
centennial, let us pledge
ourselves to start forming
positive attitudes ,and place
our values on things that we
can profit from In life later on.
Although I know a lot of
hard work will have to be put
forth this year, I am sure we
can make it one of the best in
the history of FSU.
I know that I am going to
do all within my power to
satisfy the needs and wants of
the student body.
I know that positive goals
can be accomplished this year
with your help and support
and the strength given to us by
the Almighty God.
May God bless each of
you.
Earl W. Moore, Jr.
SGA President, 1976-77
JVew ]fliss FSU Speaks Out
I would like very much to
thank all of you beautiful
people who supported me in
my campaign and also during
the run-off.
Also, I thank those who
supported other candidates
because in doing so you (the
voters) made the race for
Miss FSU competitive and
worthwhile.
However, upon becoming
the new Miss FSU, I am
beginning to find the at
mosphere among my peers to
be a little different before I
won the election.
It appears that I am
supposed to go “out of my
way’’ to speak and greet in
dividuals.
Now really, is this being
realistic?
Nobody can greet and
speak to people all the time.
Jesus Christ didn’t even do
that, I don’t think.
So please don’t knock me.
Certainly I appreciate
being Miss FSU and I will try
to uphold the name and
remain “cool, calm, and
collected,” as best I can at all
times and as much as
possible.
But I do have emotions
and I do have feelings.
So, if by chance I do lose
control of myself, please
forgive me for being like you-
a human being.
Turning to another sub
ject, I would like to see some
changes made regarding the
two crowns presently worn by
Miss FSU. Specifically
speaking, I would prefer that
the Football Team choose
Miss Homecoming and the
student body choose Miss
FSU.
I realize that some of the
coeds wanted to become Miss
Homecoming, but in order to
do so, you had to become Miss
FSU.
Perhaps the new SGA
President will hear my plea so
that things can be changed
very soon. And I hope by the
time this football season
starts we will have a
Homecoming Queen and Miss
FSU~separated again.
Another point I would like
to make is that of student
unity. We are here for an
education, degree, and
hopefully success.
Someone has said that
success is the root of all evil.
We all want to be successful
but we don’t want someone
else to get success.
Most of us have come
from very humble beginnings.
Whether we like to admit or
not, most of us came from low
income homes, brought up in a
two-bedroom house with
seven or more kids.
But remember, it was
your mother who said, “Child
you are no better than anyone
else, be kind to your
fellowman and do the best you
can.”
I don’t think that she
meant that you were worse
than anybody but just don’t
get “too big” for yourself. ■
I believe some have
pushed this advise aside but
its never too late for us to
come together.
I can’t force anyone to
follow me but I ask you to
follow your new STUDENT
GOVERNMENT PRESI
DENT.
I’ll be behind Earl, will
you?
A TRUE BRONCO

The Football Ntan at FStJ ~ Great Expectations
by Mrs. A. T. Robinson, FSU
Associate Dean of Students for
Women
“The football man is a
man with spirit, dash and
team work, who is an in
spiration to all.”
The football man does not
have to be the huskiest or
biggest man on campus, but
he is a special type,
physically. He is to be (1) a
man, (2) a student and (3) a
football player possessing a
clean and strong mind and
body. Being physically fit is a
must. Therefore, a good
nutritious body building and
tissue repairing food is a
must. A well balanced diet
chocked full of growth
promoting, regulating and
energy giving food and good
sleeping facilities and habits
should be a priority. Being
mentally alert is a must
whether on the gridiron or
elsewhere. A thirst for
knowledge, the drive to
demonstrate excellence on or
off the field should be a part of
this man. He should be, in
sum, physically, mentally,
socially and emotionally
stable.
I want to see you on the
Dean’s list receiving awards
on Awards Day as well as at
the Athletic Banquet. I see an
above average man aiming to
be a star, dreaming of pro
football. A working and
winning man. One who knows
and practices good manners.
A gentleman indeed. You may
never be a Packer, Viking,
Redskin, Cowboy or Dolphin,
but you can be a gentleman
and that will put you in their
class. I see you with the
highest regards for the women
on this campus. They too need
to see this in you. It will help
considerably, I think. When
you go away to visit other
schools, look sporty and neat.
We all like to see and respect
the well dressed man. It
brings out that inner self.
Clothes have character and
say something about the
person. We also like to see you
look nice and neat at home. It
is definitely a morale booster.
I never expect a football
man to be caught in places off
limits on campus because
respect for rules and
regulations is your game and
it should be a part of you
throughout. The buck should
not stop when the game is
over. The coaches expect you
to stay out of taboo places and
represent them well. Respect
them as well as yourselves.
I do not expect fights
during a game but friendly
rivalry between student
bodies whom you play and
learning and practicing the
lesson of humility. Knowing
how to accept winning as well
as loosing. Self control should
be paramount, after all, a
man without self control is
like a barrel without hoops, it
soon tumbles to pieces. I
expect good principles,
morals and character. Your
game to me is fair play, team
work, rivalry, competition,
discipline, hardwork and
respect for rules and
regulations. I expect good
leadership and fellowship.
You’re on the stage from
August until the season ends.
Don’t let it stop there, but
develop other interests. The
Lord gave you two ends to use,
one to think with, the other to
sit on, heads you win, tails you
loose.
Continue to be involved in
activities. Get a project on
campus, lead it. The learning
tree near Hood Hall could use
some help. I am told that it
smuggles and is highly potent
with you know what. That spot
on campus could be cleaned
up. You could provide service
in the fall for new students if
time avails itself. You’re
needed to help keep men out of
the dormitories - when they
should not be there. You need
our support and we need
yours. You’re a deserving
team and you manifested it
this last season. I am proud of
you and I want you to know it.
Continue to work hard
when you’re on the turf,
carpet or synthetic surface
and remember when facing
your opponents that: All men
are alike, all teams are good!
None are weak. It makes you
fight harder. Don’t be too
predictable to your opponents
- keep’em guessing and as you
go forth to make readiness for
the fall, in the words of Vince
Lombardi, I leave these
thoughts with you “Winning
Isn’t Everything, It’s The
Only Thing”. I agree with
Lombardi if it’s done fair, if it
isn’t corrupt, if it’s honorable
and if you follw the ethical
route with good principles and
clear living. Then and only
then, do I agree that winning
is the only thing and should be
the ultimate aim. I feel that if
these expectations are met
and dealt with, you will have
prepared yourselves for a
respectable man, citizen,
bachelor or husband and
father.
I love you. Good Luck.
