From the ...
PRESIDENrS DESK
In many ways the current school
year is very significant in the
history of Fayetteville State
Teachers College. We are changing
from the quarter to the semester
systein. We are enlarging the cur
ricula to include majors other
than elementary education. We
have a record enrollment which
in turn demands a larger faculty.
Our physical facilities are con
tinually being improved.
Does all of this mean that we
have a better college? Certainly it
does not. The fact that we are big
ger does not necessarily mean
that we are better. Our goal is
quality not quantity. It takes alert
students who exhibit a real thirst
for knowledge to produce the at
mosphere we w'ant on our campus.
I am greatly disturbed when I
see students with improper atti
tudes toward study and learning.
It disturbs me more to see stu
dents who think extra-class ac
tivities are the most important in
college life.
Our students are contending
for equal freedom and equal oppor
tunities, but I see no great de
sire to assert our equality when it
comes to scholarship and cultural
activities. It is past time that we
make progress in these areas and
that we begin to strive to assume
our rightful place in these areas.
It is time that we realize that
with new privileges/ new freedoms
and new opportunities there also
come new responsibilities.

The Joneses —Our Family
Homecoming Weekend at Fay
etteville State Teachers College
was especially significant because
it was also the occasion of the
reunion of our President’s family.
Here to enjoy with us Homecom
ing were all but one of the chil
dren of the late Annie W. Jones
of Winton, North Carolina. Many
of them had not had an opportun
ity to visit our campus since their
brother, President Jones, has been
in office.
Among those here to share the
activities of the weekend were
four sisters and two brothers of
President Jones. Other in-laws and
relatives included Mrs. Gretchen
Jones of Philadelphia, Mr. Donval
Nickens of Winton, Miss Evelyn
Gadsden of Greensboro, and
Mrs. Mary Sawyer of Winton.
The President’s relatives were
very favorably impressed by the
physical facihties of the college
and by the impressive Home
coming activities.
