PAGE 2 THE VOICE FEBRUARY 22, 1968 ,FCS Career Plans (Editor's Note: The following editorial was written at the request of Warren Picower, Managing Editor of TUESDAY MAGAZINE, New York, New York. This magazine is interested In finding out the Career plans of seniors In colleges and universities all over the United States. The article will be featured in the February issue of TUESDAY MAGAZINE. The VOICE is very proud to be represented in this national Issue.) At Fayetteville State College seniors are busy peo ple. They are on the threshold of varied and interest ing careers in the areas of teaching, government, industry, and private business. Although Fayetteville State College is a relatively small liberal arts college, it afford s its students vast opportunities for advance ment into the mainstream of American life. A few years ago on our campus open-minded col lege administrators and Department Heads felt the need for interviewers from various fields to visit our cam pus to interview students. This would be a conven ience to students who could not afford to travel great distances for interviews with prospective employers. Because of this additional facility to our college, many interviewers literally flood our campus. Interviewers from all over the country visit our campus during the months of January through May seeking prospective teachers for their school systems. Representatives from industry write and visit our cam pus regularly to inform students about opportunities available to them in industry. Government agencies, such as, the Bureau of Indian Affairs send repre sentatives to recruit our students for employment as teachers on Indian Reservations. Civil Service and Federal Service Entrance Examinations are given regularly on our campus to benefit students who are interested in government employment. FSC students have taken advantage of these avail able facilities. They feel that these facilities aid them greatly in securing well paying, intellectually satis fying jobs. Two 1968 graduates were interviewed by represen tatives from the Raleigh School System earlier this year and have already signed contracts to teach In their school system in the Fall. A great number of FSC students have expressed a desire to do further study at graduate school im mediately upon graduation; however, a few students confirmed that their graduate study would probably be postponed for one or two years because of various reasons. Some of these reasons include: financial problems, military obligations, and marriage. After graduate study, students feel that they can demand higher salaries, secure teaching jobs at the college level, and obtain great personal satisfaction from ad vanced study. It is my opinion that graduate study is the “wise” thing to do because of the aforementioned reasons. If no forseeable obstacles are in view, why not go on to graduate school. After that you can travel and, con sequently, become a much broader individual. Editor Final Exams By Roosevelt McPherson F.S.C. has recently completed its first se- mestral “mental gym nastics,” that is, FINAL EXAMS, for the school term 1967-68. This is an occasion which Is con sidered both a sad and a glad one by many stu dents. Ambiguous? Exam time is a sad time be cause of its challenging arrival, and it’s a glad time because of its rapid departure. Some of the exams were administer ed January 15-19, but the big week for all of the students was January 22- 26 which they found to be a sure charger for the second semester. For F. S.C, as for any other college, FINAL EXAM time shows a dis tinct change in the cam pus atmosphere. During this time social engage ments slacken, the li brary becomes popular, and sweethearts reluct antly part for a short while. This is also that time of year when the good old Bronco Spirit prevails all over the campus. Some students become tempo rary bookworms, catch up on back assignments, and review old notes, a vigorous stride for vic tory. Perhaps many students finally realized that the Bronco Spirit was needed in other places than foot ball and basketball games. For those students who claimed the almighty Bronco Spirit during all last semester, the out come for them was prob ably a victorious one, scholastically • Would It Make Any Difference? If you read in the paper that all government officials had been appointed and that there is not going to be an election, would you care to write your congressman and ask why, or would you just say that what ever will be will be? If you were suddenly taken out of school and sent to Vietnam with no explanation at all, would you accept that, too? If suddenly, all of your Black sisters and brothers were forced to remain second class citizens would you accept that, too? If you were told that you were not accepted for a position that you had spent a life time preparing for and you were given no reason for being rejected, would it make any difference to you? If this college was suddenly closed because it was felt to be an inferior Institution and you were told that other institutions of higher learning were crowded and you just could not find another place to go to learn, would it make any difference to you? Perhaps some of the above questions would not make any difference to you; how ever, if you are involved in anything at all, then something will make a difference. It is your choice to decide just what this difference will be. Did you know that about one third of the students here on campus who are twenty-one or over have not even bothered to register or vote? This in itself says that it really does not make a dif ference. This last statement is not true. It does make a difference and we will admit that but it takes an effort and this we are not willing to make. Let us examine our selves and see If It really would make a difference. If it does, then go REGISTER and VOTE. Mattie L.
