bers of the College, so that the

A Memorajile Experience
A NEW FACE
ON OLD TOPICS
Eva M. McEachern
We thought we’d try an inter
view that differed from the usual,
so we posed some off beat ques
tions to Mr. Ollie Cox, who has
taught in New York State and
Washington, D.C. We found, among
other things, that he is glad to be
back in his native state.
He doubles in poetry. A first
book of poems. Last Call for
Peace, may be found in the col
lege library. He intends to publish
a collection of short stories, Tales
of a Tarheel, in January. 1966,
followed by another collection of
poems the latter part of the year.
The Smith and Iowa alumnus
is an intense music lover. He likes
everything tout hillbil^ sounds. He

In this age, an age of change,
contrasts, and unrest, we have
become increasingly aware of the
fact that to be productive citizens
in today’s world, we need educa
tion that will enable us to adapt
to change, and to have a part in
controlling change.
We at Fayetteville State are
fortunate in that we have leaders
who are prepared to give guidance
to the young adults enrolled here.
Dr. Nelson Harris, who has
come to join the other members
of our faculty, in addition to as
sisting with the student teaching
program, is a proficient professor

teacher is human in his appro^h
the stulent sees this as somethr
else. The teacher’s first obligatio:
is to teach, not to gain friends.
But there’s no reason why stu
dents and teachers shouldn’t be
come friends — life friends, even.
Each needs to use the same mea
suring rod in acquiring other
friends.

It’s a matter of how the sound

making all along on a cool Lunce-

motivated to do so on those
echoes, though.

Editor’s Note; The Staff feels
that Mr. Cox is really not new to
us. Prior to joining the ESC fa
