PAGE 2 THE VOICE JANUARY-FEBRUARY, 1974 EVERYBODY COMPLAINS On our campus today, there are few, if any places you can go without over-hearing some kind of complaint. These complaints range from the Dining Hall to inadequate educational facilities. Complaining is a means of requesting a change or “revolution”, and all sustainers of life must be maintained; therefore I feel that the majority of the complaints I hear are more destructive than anything else. Even the complainers offer no alternative method of doing the things they complain about. When there is something you feel to be wrong, take a moment to THINK of some way the problem can be alleviated or at least relieved! Even if you cannot personally, think of an alternative, take the problem to someone who can help. I do not condone the lack of intelligence, but I do detest ignorance and laziness. If the quantity and- or quality of the food in YOUR Dining Hall is inadequate, take your problem to it’s source and find out why. I’m sure Mr. Mason Odrick, manager of the facility, or any of his assistants will be more than happy to assist you in any way. As for the other problems that may arise, I strongly suggest dropping by YOUR Student Government Association Office, because any problem that should arise should be easily handled by your fellow Broncos there. If not, there, you will be directed to some one who can solve your every problem. Complaining to a friend or some one who cannot relieve your problem, regardless how small, is both useless and destructive. I feel that complaining has become a virtue totheBroncos, because everybody complains, but no one offers an alternative method or suggestion as to how to heal our many wounds. Edith K.

Henderson Jacklyn McDonald, Carolyn Gilmore, Claraiene Gordon February- A Month lo Remember by Virginia Graham February has proven to be amonth to remember for both the black race and the Bronco family. Great black men who have played an integral role in the progress of the black race were born during the month of February. Accordingly, February has been noted as the month to observe both Negro History Week and Brotherhood Week (Feb. 11-15). ^ Unfortunately, the American nation has adopted the policy of observing Negro History and-or Brotherhood Week for about two weeks out of fifty-two weeks. Instead of stressing black history only a couple weeks out of the year, the concept should be stressed daily. No matter how hard one tries, he can not discover the value of a race by emphasizing it a couple of weeks. While February is important to the black race as a whole, it is also important to the Bronco family. On February 14,1925, the man who was destined to make Fayetteville State University CIAA Champs was born. The late Coach Thomas Reeves will never be forgotten by the Bronco family. His sparkling white boots, his flashing smile and his sober determination lives in the hearts of all of us. Just as others can boast of the famous men who were born in February, so can FSU. We know that the late Coach Reeves was a legend among us. He brought FSU from the valley of defeat to the mountain of success. There is no way that we can observe the contributions of other blacks without thinking about the contributions of our late Coach Thomas Reeves. :-S iWMVVS COMMUNICATIONS CEN TER - Beginning Sunday, February 17, a new program will be aired (Each Sunday) - “BRONCO SCOPE", WFNC- AM (94 on your dial), 5:30 p.m. The show entails in terviews, discussions, music and Weekly Report (abstract of University activities) - Bill Travis, Host.
