The Thoroughfare
Of College Life
Charles Click
Let us begin with college life
as we know it. College life is a
thoroughfare upon which we find
ourselves travelers. Behind us is
our immediate beginning—birth.
It is a vast eternity. Ahead of us is
still another inevitable outcome-
the end. This end comes to us when
we receive our degrees at gradua
tion time, and when we are born
again into a new world because
of our college accomplishments. It
is a mystery which either instills
fear or is accepted with under
standing—depending upon the ex
periences we have along this
course of college life. Some of us
did not ask for this college life;
yet, we could not have refused it.
In our youth we feared things
which we later came to recognize
as harmless and really useful.
II is always the unknown in
every day’s activities that causes
us worry, concern, perplexity, and
even suffering. We, as college stu
dents, must understand these
things if we are to become a suc
cess in life.
Every intelligent traveler knows
whence he come and whither he
goes. The span of college life can
be so much more free of obstacles
and enjoyable, if all of its pur
poses and ways are understood
and used.
From me to you—let me say:
college life is what you make it.
An .intelligent plan, well directed,
can provide personal power and
attainment.

ZETA ZEST
Before Omega Beta ends an
other one of her eventful years
let us take a look at her calendar
for 1959-60.
On February 28, 1960 our Finer
Womanhood Week was climaxed
by a vesper program with Soror
Mildred Boone, a phychiatric so
cial worker, of Petersburg, Vir
ginia, who explored the subject
“College Youth and the Challenge
of Tomorrow.”
Immediately after vespers, a
tea was given to honor the speak
er by Upsilon Gamma Zeta and
Omega Beta Chapters of the Zeta
Phi Beta Sorority.
The most talked about Zetalite
Ball came next on the calendar.
Lilly Gymnasium was like a blue
and white ballroom with beautiful
music in the background. Dr. Ru
dolph Jones, our president, ex
tended greetings to everyone. Miss
Audrey Colvon, Area of Social
Science, who looked sweet enough
to be a debutante, presented the
Zetalites to society. Dr. Lafayette
Parker, our Dean, crowned Miss
Eva McEachern, a senior at E. E.
Smith High School, queen of the
ball. The debutantes were juniors
and seniors of the high schools
of Fayetteville and surrounding
towns. The following freshmen of
our college were debutantes: Willie
Hardy, Jacquelyn Jones, Edna
Martin, Annie Mason, Christine
McNeill, Athalia Pridgen, Annie
Powell, Lois Tucker, and Joyce
Whitaker.
One of our newest sorors, Fan
nie Tyson, was chosen “Sigma
Sweetheart” for 1960-61. With this
honored title she received many
gifts as well as the privilege of
riding in a 1960 white convertible
Cadillac. She was later presented
a magnificent corsage of white
carnations.
The members of our college fa
mily, who have not had a chance
to view a P. T. A. meeting, had
the chance of doing so when the
Zetas let the public see what such
a meeting is like, in assembly
program on March 28, 1960.
We are also looking forward to
being represented in our regional
meeting to be held April 28,
through May 1, 1960 in Rocky
Point, North Carolina.
We are looking forward to seeing
our graduating sorors receive the
most longed for B. S. Degz'ee in
Elementary Education, May 29,
1960. Congratulations are in order
to them.
It is the hope of the Zetas that
all members of the college family
have spent an enjoyable and pro
fitable year at Fayetteville State
Teachers College.
The Omega Beta Chapter of the
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority also wishes
to take this opportunity of wishing
for all a pleasant and profitable
summer.

dent; Charles Perry, vice-presi-

My Advice To Freshmen
I am on the threshold of being
graduated from college. As I re
flect upon the four years I have
spent here, many things come to
my mind. I want others, especially
the Freshmen, to benefit because
of the many fine experiences I
have had here at Fayetteville State
Teachers College. My first year
proved to be important to me be
cause of the guidance and coun
sel provided me by a wonderful
group of teachers. I found them to
be genuinely interested in my com
fort and welfare. I counsel you to
stop for a moment, take inventory
of yourselves, and listen to the
advice of administrators and teach
ers. They are sincei'e people and
want you to succeed.
Time is an important factor in
a person’s life. Did I spend my
time wisely? Stop, Freshmen! Ask
yourself this question. If you
spend your time wisely now, you
will be better prepared to en
counter future frustrations.
It’s easy to get off to a bad start,
and too much social life at the ex
pense of your studies will surely
show up in your grades. Use mod
eration in everything. Participate
in activities, constructive ones,
however. Have a hobby, use the
library, learn to play some type
of musical instrument. Develop
your total personality. Be well-
rounded and live a balanced life.

B. S. U. News
The Baptist Student Union is a
relatively new organization at
Fayetteville State Teachers Col
lege. It was organized during the
second quarter the auspices,
of Mr. S. E. Grinst^d, Director of
National Baptist Student Union in
Nashville, Tennessee. This organi
zation is basically Christian, frank
ly denominational, promoted by
the Southern Baptist and National
Baptist Conventions for Baptist
students in colleges, universities,
technical and professional schools.
It is student-led and Christ-cent
ered.
Through active participation in
the B. S. U. the student grows in
churchmanship.
This year we plan to give in
formal discussions in the follow
ing topics; love, courtship, and
marriage; send a delegate to the
15th Annual National Baptist
Union Spring Retreat which con
venes on the campus of Meharry
Medical College, Nashville, Tenn
essee, April 22-24, 1960. We are
sending Ramona Hicks as our de

We wish to thank Rev. C. R.
Edwards, Pastor of First Baptist
Church and Rev. J. W. Simpson,
Pastor of Friendship Baptist Chur
ch for taking time from their busy
schedule to work diligently as
pastor advisors.
