1 EDITORIAL : PA G E ' * | PEOPLE AND PLACESi AND THINGS, I? > by Btfton J Tragedy Strike* Deep Branch Community Again As many of you know, I live in the Deep Branch Community. It has always been known as a quiet, nice place to live. But tragedy has struck our community twice in the last few days. Last week, a stalwart member of our community, J.R. Hunt, was felled by death following a heart operation. He is sorely missed, as he was a good and decent man who went about doing good; he acted out the principles of neighborliness. Early Tuesday morning, Glenda Sampson Oxendine was shot in the head in the parking lot of Jasper Mills near Lumberton where she worked. She died later in the day. Her husband, Stevie Oxendine, has been identified as the one who shot her, and is recovering himself after apparently shooting himself in the stomach. It's sad, and leaves one at a loss for words. Hie Oxendines, who lived across the street from me, were good neighbors. They have three handsome sons. We hope they survive the loss of their mother. Mrs. Oxendine's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Sampson, also live in the Deep Branch Community; as do a number of her brothers and sisters. We extend our heartfelt condolences to all of them during this sad time. I've Enjoyed Watching Ryan Tuck Play Basketball One of the nicest young men I have met ?ince I began editing the newspaper more than 13 years ago is Ryan Tuck, the personable and explosive basketball player at Pembroke State University. He must have been raised good, as they say. He is personable, and as nice a young fellow as you would ever want^o meet He also starred in basketball at then Pembroke . Senior High School, and is now finishing up a stellar career as * Brave. I have enjoyed watching him play basketball over the years, but I am most impressed by him as a man. If I had a son, I would be honored if he grew up to be like Ryan T\ick, a good example for our youngsters. Looking Forward To Returning To Claxton, Georgia Area Last September, me and Sam Jacobs and Rev. Welton Lowry went to the Claxton, Georgia area to retrace the steps of our fellow Lumbee Indians who migrated there sometime following the Civil War, and returning in the 1920a Their story is an interesting one, and we hope to return to the Claxton, Georgia area sometime later...possibly in the Spring. When we return, we hope to accompany some of those who lived there as youngsters. While there, we want to spruce up the Croatan Cemetery where a number of Indians are buried. We also want to put up a suitable marker, so that those coming behind us will find it and marvel anew at the derring do of their forebears. I hope to have' some definitive information for those who would like to go with us in the next few weeks. Watch for it. I also have some more letters that I would like to share with you Zrlifi coming weeks. The letters were written by Indians who ;J**hvpd" there, and wrote back home to let their relatives and .-Ifriends know how they were doing. WPlwbnla Depot Project Will Soon Be On Hie Drawing Board Our project for restoring the Pembroke Railroad Depot will soon be back on the drawing board where it belongs. Pates Supply Company has graciously agreed to donate an adjoining piece of land for us to put the depot on. The legal work is being .done, bids have been received for moving the structure, and activity will soon be underway. Look for an announcement, and further details, in the coming weeks.

School Ul Science And M athematica Approved For PSU A "Minority Participation in Science and Mathematics" program, in which 50 selected minority students will receive special orientation for applying to the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics at Durham, has been approved for PSU. The approval for funding the program was granted by the UNC Board of Governors, who said, "We are pleased to be able to provide support for this important project" - > Some ^00 students are now attending this Purhan) School for 11th and 12th graders who are particularly talented in . science and mathematics. The Durham school is funded through the UNC Board of Governors., - .- Initiating and writing the proposal for tnis prognflfyaL PSLH^ was Dr. Gilbert Sampson, chairman of the PSU DoWhttnehtwf? Mathematics and Computer Science. He wifl co-d^hfc^m program with Betty Mangum, director of Indian EducMfcpJor^ the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. Sampson said this new program "is designed to increase the career awareness in science and mathematics for ninth^nd 10th grade exceptionally talented minority students and to increase the number of potential candidates to the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics." This will be done, he said, "through a sequence of sessions orienting the students to the school and its admissions qualifications." The UNC Board of Governors has allotted $8,160 to the PSU program, "Mrs. Mangum and I believe this is an excellent way to work with our minority students in'this southeastern area of the state in helping them to enter this fine N.C. School of Science "and Mathematics," said Sampson, whose son, Christopher, is an 11th grader there. The selection of the 50 participants in the program will be made this summer by a committee of mathematics and science instructors at PSU. Notification of the students who have been chosen will be mailed to those selected in August Beginning in September after Labor Day, the participants in the program will take part in four Saturday morning sessions, each lasting three hours, at PSU. The sessions will include career orientation in mathematics and science, test-taking skills, learning the application and interview processes, and becoming familiar with the schedule, curriculum and graduation requirements of the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics. Each 'participant will compile a notebook of information relative to the four-session program. "The most immediate benefit of this program," said Dr. Sampson, "will be an identified pool of potential minority candidates for the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics." All communications and financial records for this program will be transmitted through PSU. This program has been enthusiastically endorsed by both the State Department of Public Instruction and the Robeson County Board of Education. "Quilt Documentation Day" Set March 8 Do you have a quilt made before 1976? A N.C. Quilt Project is underway throughout the state in which quilts made before 1976 are being located and documented. Information collected will be stored permanently in the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh. The museum there will also select a number of quilts for exhibition. In Robeson County, a "Quilt Documentation Day" in connection with this will be held on Saturday, March 8, at PSU8 Native American Resource Center from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sponsoring it wfll Be the N.C. Arts Council, the N.C. Museum of History, and the N.C. Quilt Symposium, Inc. Coordinating the documentation at PSU will be Linda Oxendine, director of the Native American Resource Center, and Kay Bryant of Fayetteville. "Both plain, fancy, and Depression quilts are welcome and need not have been made only in North Carolina," said Ms. Oxendine. "The exciting thing is that the quilt maker's name, information about the quity, and a picture of the quilt will be stored forever in the N.C. Museum of History." Persons bringing quilts to PSU on March 8 should have available information such as: the owner of the quilt, its maker, date and location it was made, and any other pertinent information relating to the history of the quilt, said Ms. Oxendine. Schmalleger Book Published Wyndham Hall Press in Bristol, Ind., has published a book by Dr. (Yank Schmalleger, chairman of the PSU Department of Sociology and Social Work, entitled: "A History of Corrections: Emerging Practices and Ideologies." The publishing company describes the book as "a marvelously compact introduction to the history of corrections in the western world. A splendid bookfor the undergraduate student in need of a comprehensive yet succinct introduction to the history of corrections." ? In the introduction to the book, Schmalleger writes: ""We often assume that our way of thinking and acting with respect to crime is universal and somehow natural. But the idea of "" punishment for a crime is relatively new in human history. Newer still is the concept of imprisonment Prisons as we know them, based upon the idea of serving time to pay for, crime, did not exist 200 years ago. In thfcir place could be found fines and corporal penalties, including torture, mutilation, and imaginative applications of the death penalty. The evolution of criminal punishment which culminated in our present system of imprisonment coincided with the development of vengeance as a personal right" A previous version of this book by Schmalleger was published five years ago. It is a tribute to its quality that this book is being reprinted by a new publisher. Finale In Church And State Lecture Series The final lecture/discussion in the two-month "Church, ' State and the First Amendment" lecture series at PSU will be Tuesday, March 4, at 7:30 p.m. in the assembly hall of PSLTs Native American Resource Center in Old Main. The speaker will be Dr. Jerome McDuffie, PSU associate ^professor of history. His topic will be: "Religion and Law in y^merican History: Defining the Terms of the Debate." ^ The public is invited to these free lectures. .

Loaiee Hayce ? Stephanie D. Lecklear REFLECTIONS % AMOrnrnmm * * . K- l! * This is how I came up with'a heading lor my comments 4h the Carolina Ihdian Voice-! even before I started h column. I "Just temmiedng" would explain what I was doing. But reminiscing is a big. seldom used word which is not spelled the way it sounds. So I went to "Just reflecting." Then it hit met Why not "reflections"? That word fit what I was doing, had a nice ring to it, and would be used in a completely original way. Or so I thoughtl Since I started this column in 1976, f ve seen '.'Reflections" in all directions! Now Woman's Day magazine has a regular feature- called "Reflections." Anyhow? I still do lots of reflecting? as I've been doing ever since I can remember. My problem is not competing with other writer's '"reflec tions." It is managing to get my constant mental process of reflecting into a form which may be worth sharing with others. POaitive Feedback Even though I'm never satisfied with my column? (I never get around to polishing up my articles the way good writers do)...I often have people tell me they enjoy reading my "reflections." I In fact, this happened last Sunday. Among our visitors at church were Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sampson, who live in | niinpLs. As I started explain r ing to Mr. Sampson who my | husband" was, he exclaimed [ "So you're Alta! I like what I you write in the paper!" L Those words really cheered } me up...on .a day when I felt L like I might be coming down F with the flu.

Still our nation's number one II killer and costliest health enemy is heart disease. Now, businesses are increasingly promoting "Heart at Work" wellness programs designed to help employees lower blood-cholesterol levels. For every one percent blood-cholesterol is lowered, risks of heart attack are reduced two percent. We heartily endorse "Heart at Work" programs. Blood pressure control, proper diet, exercise, and tobacco abstinence make sense because they leng then lives and reduce financial losses for the good of our community.
