Fayettevillian Editor Seelcs Support Fellow Broncos; I have humbly accepted the appointment as your Fayettevillian Editor-in-Chief for 1979-80. Barbara Stelly (Photo by Lillie Booth) My ultimate goal is to publish a highly professional yearbook of excellent quality and taste. To achieve this goal, I am requesting and indeed must have the moral and physical support from all of you. Your yearbook is a reflection on the university and since all of us are a part of the university, it becomes a reflection on us. It is in your best interest then to do everything possible to help make the yearbook publication the best. This year the staff will be striving for more unity bet ween the many different associations on campus. With unity we can overcome many of our obstacles. The staff will gladly welcome any questions, comments or suggestions that you may have. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible this academic year. Unity for success, Barbara J. Stelly by Ronald Spicer A smile, a cheerful face and a friendly greeting are just a few of the charac teristics of Fidele Essono. He has shown during my short stay to be a very serious, dependable and reliable person. Each issue that has come out during the year has had comments from Fidele. He has written major articles pertaining to national, in ternational and campus news. Born in Cameroon (Central Africa), Fidele at tended high school in the French school system. He attended Vogt College where he majored in georgraphy and minored in French. After graduation he became in terested in Civilian Aviation and Air Traffic Control. Today he is involved in commercial aviation training. His main reason for attending FSU was to improve his English. Fidele admits that he feels right at home here at FSU just “because nobody can tell you that you are a nigger” and also he feels that he has a right to be here and that he belongs. Relations between Africa and African-Americans could be better, he thinks. The idea of their being a better Negro just isn’t so and this notion has to be put aside. This type of thinking does more harm than good, Fidele believes. Look forward to seeing more of Fidele’s work in The Voice. He’s a dedicated and dependable worker.

The scholarships do not pay for room and board. About 1,260 senior high students from across the nation were selected to receive Air Force Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (AFROTC) Four-Year College Scholarships. “These scholarship winners are some of the brightest high school students in the country,” said Major General David Easson, Air Force ROTC Commandant at AFROTC Headquarters, Maxwell AFB, AL. As a group average, the winners are in the top three percent of their respective high school graduating classes. Their grade point level is 3.71 based on a 4.0 scale. The scholarship designees were chosen by a Board of Air Force ROTC Officers from a group of nearly 7,000 finalist. Initially, a total of 15,000 students had applied for scholarships this year. Approximately 22 percent of the designees are women and 17 percent are blacks or members of other minorities. Students competing for Air Force ROTC scholarships are selected on the basis of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Test (ACT) in conjunction with other considerations used to measure the whole person. The average com posite SAT score, which combines scores from the verbal and mathematics areas of the test, for this year’s scholarship winners was 1,270 out of a possible 1,600. For the ACT, the average score in mathematics was 30 out of a possible 36. Air Force ROTC also offers scholarships in in crements of three and one- half, three, two and one-half, and two years.
