Pembroke State ! University iVOMWAMHN ! STATUE OF HAMILTON McMlLLAN RECOMMENDED T ' COMMITTEE The committee selected by Ch?rslsr PhI Gtvaas to recommend the most appro priete way of honoring the memory of HamEtea McMi lan, one of the founders of Pembroke State University, met recently and came up with a suggestion which re ceived unanimous committee support. The idea as voiced initially by Cllftea Oxendlne, PSU professor e mint us, was to erect a statue of McMillan somewhere between Sampson Hall and the Oxendine Scien ce Building. It would be the first statue on campus. "The committee said it would be something for peo ple to see. A statue will be around longer than any build ing," said Adeiph Dial, PSU professor of American Indian Studies who is chairing the committee. Along with Dial and Oxen dine, other members of the committee present when the suggestion was made were: Dr. Dalten Brtxaka, PSU direc tor of institutional research; Jack Sharpe, former editor of the Robe soman; KJ). Me Mi lan, special assistant to President Wffiam Friday of the University of North Carol ina General Administration; and Law Bartan, Indian his torian of Pembroke. The recommendation by the committee requires approval by the PSU Board of Trustees before it is activated. Hamlton McMillan (1837 18%) was a Red Springs man who was a representative in ^h^^tat^egislature^He sponsored tad the state legis lature passed "an act to establish a normal school in Robeson County." This first building, a two story structure on a one-acre site, opened its doors in 1887 and from it emerged Pembroke State Un iversity. * Dial commented: "Once the Indian people had the idea, Hamilton McMillan was in a position in the legislature to get things moving." Others who Dial said contributed mightily to the cause were WJ.. Mean, Preston Lock Jams Dial. Dial added: "If the Indian people had had no one like Hamilton McMillan to go to, there would be no Pembroke State University today. He carried the ball." ' This emphasis on honoring M:Millan will also be a part of hdian Heritage Week which begins at Pembroke State Uiiversity beginning Mon <hy, Sept. 20.
