Page 4 The Voice October 28, 1983 CAMPUS UPDATES In Memory Of Dr. Hatcher Dr. C.C. Hatcher Photo by Rosemary Byrd Dormitory Rearrangement By Cheryl Brown Fayetteville State University students have just about adjusted to the modifications in Fayetteville State University dormitories. Five changes in dormitory accommoda tions were enforced beginning this 1983-84 school term. Bryant Hall, which was a female dormitory, is-now a male dormitory, housing mostly freshmen. New Residence Hall, which housed both male and female students, is now a female dormitory. Hood Hall, once a female dormitory then changed to a male athletic dormitory, is now a female dormitory. Williams Hall, formerly housing for male athletics, now accommodates femal«- athletics, and Smith Hall has reopened. There are approximately 45% male and 55% female students living on campus, according to Mr. Harold Nixon, Acting Vice Chancellor Student Development. The new arrangement of the dormitories is an experiment directed towards the betterment of life on-campus. By arranging the dormitory housing in this manner, the campus life development administrators hope to attract new on-campus students, and to distract unwanted outside visitors. Male students who were former occupants of Hood and Williams Hall, stated that they were angry because those dormitories were not renovated until the decision was made for those dormitores to accommodate female students. In the next issue The Voice v/iW cover students opinions of Ufe on Fayetteville State University's campus. Cooperative Education Program By Marion Crowe The Cooperative Education Program at Fayetteville State University is a program of learning in which off-campus work experience is made an important part of the student's educational program. The university utilizes an alternating plan whereby students are involved in two work experiences. According to academic studies. Participation in the Cooperative Education Program is voluntary and open to students of any academic major who have the approval of their academic advisor.

To ensure the work experiences relate to the students' academic major, all job descriptions are submitted to the Cooperative Education Program Coordinator and approved by the academic division chairperson. Students must enter into contacts with their major's division defining the objectives to be achieved during the work experience. Evidence of accomplishment must be provided by the student and submitted to the appropriate department advisor for evaluation.
