SEPTEMBER 30, 1976 THE VOICE PAGE 3 FSV PLANS CEiVTEiVJVfAL FETE by Sheryl Alexander The Centennial Steering Commission, which is composed of Fayetteville State University faculty, staff, administration, alumni, students and supporters from the community and state of North Carolina are presently putting together plans for the celebration of the school’s one-hundred year existence. The theme for the centennial celebration is, “ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE: A PAST TO REMEMBER, A PRESENT TO BEHOLD, A FUTURE TO MOLD.” According to Mr. Brooklyn McGeachy and Mrs. Catherlene Thompson who serve as co-chairpersons of the centennial com mission, it is imperative that the student body become informed and involved in the plans for this celebration. Mr. McGeachy, a resident of Fayetteville and a graduate of Fayetteville State University says, “This committee can only become successful if the people participate. This institution is one of the few in the state to celebrate one hundred years, and it certainly is the only black state supported institution in the state that is celebrating one hundred years.” Mrs. Thompson, also a Fayetteville resident and a French instructor at Fayetteville State University adds, “The centennial gives us the opportunity to review the past and assess the present and plan for the future.” Major activities for the centennial celebration include the Centennial Convocation, set for October 12; the Centennial Homecoming, set for October 30; the Centennial Founder’s Day, scheduled for April 17 and Centennial Commencement which will take place on May 8. Yearbook Editor Takes No Jive by Sheryl Alexander Ora Lee Bethea, the 1976-77 Editor-in-Chief of the Fayettevillian Yearbook is admittedly very outspoken. She gives her basic philosophy of life as being: “to achieve the best I must put forth my best”. She smiles and goes on to say, “I like being number one. I hate for people to sit and let the world pass them by and not contribute in anything- ‘cause’ you’re always going to know exactly how I feel a^ut a situation. I don’t like jive time people and I certainly don’t have time for them.” She paused, looking directly into my eyes as she said rather self-assuredly, “I like for people to work--If one person works, then we all work together to get the job done.” When questioned as to the quality of work put into last /ICADeiHIC CAhEyOAR 1978-77 PALL SENJ^TER OCTOBER 2 THURSDAY Teacher Education Committee tueetlng 3iOO-5iOO p.B.

TO rfi CENTENNIAL year’s Fayettevillian Ora thought carefully and replied, “Considering all the help and support the editor for last year (Lizzette Tapp) had it’s a good book. The students on the whole do not know all the work that goes into a yearbook. They think they want to take on responsibility until it really comes down to working.” It is because she is a business administration major that Ora decided to get all of the first hand experience possible. January of last year she worked on the co operative program. This involved working for the Departmet of the Navy, which sent her to a naval installation in Mechanicsburg, Penn sylvania. There she served for five months training as a procurement trainee specialist. She sees the training as being a worthwhile and gratifying experience. She explains,“They put you into an environment that prepares you for the job. It gave me experience that no classroom could have. It allows you to use your com mon sense-which is the best policy, you know.” When asked about earlier influences on her life, Ora gave a brief history. She was born in Latta, South Carolina and lived there until the age of five. It was then that she came to Fayetteville, North Carolina. A 1976 graduate of Reid Ross Senior High School, she believes that her learning experiences up to the present are very valuable and serve as an intricate part of her character. She is very con cerned with the state of our nation and world situations and is a profuse reader of all types of publications. “My mom is a very motivating force in my life. She feels that if you see something that neeck doing, you, yourself should get out there and do it. If things are not done to suit you, you have no one to blame but yourself,” said Ora of her mother. Her plans for the future involve becoming a certified public accountant. She plans to eventually seek a law degree, but says this is a long (Continued on Page 6) Creative Writing Contest Writers: You can win $100; $50; or $25 for best short story, humorous essay, or other short pieces between 250 and 1000 words-with free copy of winning COLLEGE CONTEMPORARIES Magazine for all-if you enter the Collegiate Creative Writing Contest whose deadline is NOVEMBER 5.
