Terry Wingate By Cheryl Brown Terry Wingate, a 19 year old sophomore, majoring in Speech and Theatre, invited university members to the reading and discussion of her poetry October 28, in the Butler faculty lounge. Terry, who is a native of Bishopville, South Carolina, has been writing for ten years. She has published poetry in several books; Thunder So Frightening (published by South Carolina Arts in Motion, 1974-76), PS I Love You (published by P&S Publishing Company, Holly Hill, Florida, Fall 1982), and American Poetry Anthology (published by the American Poetry Association of Santa Cruz, California). Terry has done what many people dream of doing. I asked Terry why she began writing, ^he said, “I noticed I had a special way with words so I decided to put them down on paper.” She plans to publish her first book of poetry before graduating from FSU, then she will pursue a PH.D. in Mass Communica tion, specializing in Broadcast Journalism. The poetry discussion was sponsored by Dr. Marie Albert, Director of the English-Writing Center, who is cultivated with enhancing the English- Writing skills, and encouraged Terry to write. Among those attending this event were Dr. Charles Hatcher, Dean Robinson and Mrs. Patricia Ramos. Dean Robinson emphasized that, “Terry has potential.” She marveled at Terry's personality, and hopes for a “closer” relationship. Mrs. Ramos stated, “The style of Terry's poetry is natural and free flowing, and she is very talented with putting her feelings into words.” Terry has overwhelming abilities and talent as a poet.

All these are prizes in the 1983 Campus Cartoonist contest being conducted for student artists at every U.S. college and university. The sponsor is Tribune Company Syndicate, fourth largest in the U.S. It distributes comics, editorial cartoons, and other features to 2,000 newspapers across the U.S. and around the world. Each of the 10 winners will receive $500 plus a chance to qualify for a contract with the syndicate. Entries may consist of up to 12 comic strips, 12 editorial or humorous cartoon panels, or both. The deadline for mailing is March 7. Entry requirements are available at the office of 77te Voice. The syndicate is looking for new talent, according to Robert S. Reed, its president. “Bright creative talent, young men and women who well may be attending college somewhere today,” he said, “can be the syndicate stars of tomorrow.” The campus was the starting point for many of today's most famous cartoonists, Reed points out. Jeff MacNelly, creator of “Shoe,” started at the University of North Carolina, and Garry Trudeau's “Doonesbury” was born when he attended Yale. “And the field isn't limited to men,” Reed added. “M.G. Lord was so good when she was a coed at Yale that she was hired by Newsday, the large Long Island daily.” If there's another of these talented artists, “we'd like to help that person become famous nationally,” Reed said. What Makes A Good University? By Cheryl D. McCalop Students, faculty and administrators at FSU were asked to express their opinion on “What Makes A Good University.” Here are some of their opinions. Timothy Bums, student: “A good University has concerned students and teachers. Dedication from faculties and administrators.” Jimmy Gibbs, student: “Students make a go(^ school, especially those from different backgrounds. A good school has students that can interact with others comfortably. The administration at a good university provide students with a relaxed atmosphere to learning. The administration should be a model for students and should be the example of leadership for students to follow.” Mr. Frank Barreeca, University Sk Registrar: “A good university has a good academic program and good administrators who will help them get through those programs. There should be good advisement, and schedules, and a good process for registering, and a relaxing atmosphere to learn.” Mr. W.C. Freeman, Security: “A good university is a combination of students, faculty, and administration, that set up the niles and regulation and how the university is administered is the real element to a good university. The administration is to provide the student with the good quality education in which the student seeks at a university. The student is the product of the university.” Ms. Myrte Ashcraft, Business Office: “The community is important to the quality ol the universiiy, m dedication in helping the school work better through support, such^ as, providing funds to the university.” Mr. Israel Rwejuna, Accounting Instructor: “A good university should provide programs to advance students academically and programs to help students become efficient and successful. The administration should provide the faculty with input in the system so that the students, faculty, and administrators, can work together in harmony. These are the elements that jmake up a good school.” Dr. Grace C. Black, Head of Division of Business and Economics: “I believe that there are a number of requisites for a good university — some of which are an administration which provides effective leadership and guidance, a capable and concerned faculty, strong curricular programs and offerings, adequate equipment and facilities, and students who are conscientious and dedicated to the development of their potentialities. I would add that an atmosphere conducive for learning is also essential for a good university.” In view of the comments and opinions from members of the FSU body, students can be secured in knowing that they are attending a university, which according to its members, contains the characteristics of a good university. Maybe, with a few improvements in communications between the administration and students FSU will become a great university. .,,, '
