February 26,1981 VOICE Page Three Winners at Banner Night 5BE Says Thanlcs,McDonald’s! ”Nobody Can Support F.S. U. Like You Can” By KENNETH JOHNSON FEATURE EDITOR Although the game in which the Fayetteville State Broncos hosted the Elizabeth City Vikings will be recorded as a lost, the night was not a total disappointment, especially for the brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. who captured first place in the Banner Contest sponsored by the F.S.U. Athletic Department. All organizations were asked to create a banner thanking various sponsors for their support throughout the year of the athletic program. The Brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity chose the McDonald’s Restaurants as the subject for their banner, which showed a taste of professional advertisement, including the McDonald’s trademark of its golden arches and a picture of Ronald McDonald to set the banner into a per fect perspective. Winners of second place went to the ladies of Alpha Kap pa Alpha with Omega Psi Phi cap turing third place. Other organizations that participated included Zeta Phi Beta, Essence of Beauty Modeling Club, Sigma Gamma Rho, Coca Phi Coca, Alpha Phi Alpha Kappa Alpha Psi, and Alpha Phi Omega. Thanks, Phi Beta Sigma - “Nobody can do it like you can.” Winning that is! Students Make Use of Learning Center More than five hundred (500) students enrolled for tutorial assistance in the Learning Assistance Center during the Fall Semester 1980. Dorothy J. Killian, L.A. Center Director, noted that she and members of the center staff are pleased with the student participation. “We want to emphasize the fact that the Learning Center focuses on the lear- nmg process as opposed to one shot tutoring sessions. Many students and faculty members are of the opinion that the L.A. Center is a place to come for assistance m completing homework assignnients. On the contrary, the L.A. Center attempts to teach students those skills which will enable them to complete assignments on their own. We believe that teaching students to work independently will be more beneficial to them than merely helping them pass a course or a test.” “Faculty members have been cooperative in referring students and we hope that they will continue to do so.” Also, the staff encourages faculty and staff members to come by and become acquainted with members of the Center staff and with the materials and equipment housed in the Center. “We want faculty and staff members to make use of the Center. We believe that It is advantageous for students to interact with faculty members in an en vironment like the L.A. Center.” Although the center is primarily designed for General Studies students, upper classmen are welcome to make use of the Center’s services. During the Fall Semester 15 percent of the students who enrolled for tutorial assistance were up perclassmen. “We have in the center a wealth of information and we want students to make use of It. Students may come to the Center for enrichment as well as remediation Students preparing for professional examinations (GRE, NTE) are encouraged to use of the services and resources of the Center. ” Although attendance in the Center is at record levels, we are more concerned with student progress. There should be some noticeable improvement in a student s performance if the tutoring sessions are effective. Many students are not as consistent as they should be and consequently little or no progress is made. Students are urged to make practical schedules and keep their appointment. Those students who show progress are those who have been —-—- tendance and those who work, as mucti as itiey ca-Ti on their own. In addition to the full-time staff Ms. Leila Murph, English Instructor and Mr. Edward McDonald, Math Instructor, both of whom are graduates; of Fayet teville State University, the Learning Assistance Center also utilizes student tutors. Student tutors are upperclassmen (majors) who have demonstrated proficiency in their respective areas. L.A. Center tutors gain experience in time management, working with peers, and most importantly a thorough knowledge of the subject matter in which they tutor. All members of the University family are invited to make use of the Learning Assistance Center. The Center is located in the Butler Building Room 232 and the hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. The Baptist Student Union The Baptist Student Union at Fayet teville State University is a “local chap ter” of more than one hundred such organizations established for the spiritual growth of black students on college and university campuses throughout the United States. Mem bership is not restricted to Baptists, but generally each organization is affiliated with the National Baptist Convention, USA through the National Baptist Retreat. Therefore, most of them are called Baptist Student Unions. The support (spiritual, financial, etc.) of the Baptist Student Union (BSU) rests upon the creativity and in dustriousness of its members. Most of the financial support comes from membership dues and projects. Local churches and interested individuals are also sources of needed funds. Generally, the spiritual support needed to not only sustain the organization, but to assure its continued growth as well, comes from these same sources: the students, local churches, and caring individuals. Some of the Christian stewardship projects and other activities local BSUs get involved in are: 1. Helping needy persons in the community (all year long) 2. Carrying out special projects to help needy adults and children on cer tain holidays and/or times of the year 3. Participating in the regular ser vices of local churches 4. Conducting special programs at local churches and on the college/university campuses 5. Serving as summer missionaries through the United States 6. Attending local and state religious conferences and planning sessions, and. 7. Participating in the National Bap tist Student Union Retreat The recently organized BSU at Fayetteville State plans to eventually make all of these activities a part of its program. This organization has as its general purposes: 1. To know Christ and make Him known in the university community 2. To provide opportunities for and encourage Christian stewardship on the part of its members, and 3. To encourage its members to af filiate with local churches The FSU BSU is currently conduc ting a membership drive while planning its program of activities for the school year. The Baptist Student Union welcomes assistance and suggestions from the campus and the community as it attempts to provide opportunities for the enhancement of Fayetteville State student’s spiritual growth.
