PEMEBCKE SnATESJUNIVERSnY By GENE WARREN Director of Public Information ^ Three More Join PSU's Chancellor's Club Three more persons have joined the Pembroke State University Chancellor's Club, increasing the member ship to 116. Memoers pledge to donate S1,000 a year to PSU for 10 years. For doing so, they receive a number of privileges at PSU, including complimentary admission to the PSU Performing Arts Center's season artist series, compli mentary passes to all regular athletic contests, an invita tion to the Chancellor's Club annual reception-dinner, and an invitation to the Chancellor's Spring Ball. The newest members are Jimmy Hunt, owner of Hunt's TV Sales and Service of Pembroke; Jerry Johnson, presi dent of Jerry Johnson Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Inc. of Lumberton; and Lycurous Lowry, who farms some 600 acres near Pembroke. Hunt has been in business for himself since '68 after taking an electronics course in TV repair at Devry Technical Institute in Chicago. His business employs five people and repairs all kinds of electronics, serving an area that includes Robeson, Scotland and Hoke counties. A native of Fairmont, Hunt is married to the former Linda Mitchell of Lumberton. His wife is a PSU graduate who teaches the fourth grade at Union Chapel Elemen tary School. They are parents of a daughter, Tammy Lynn, who is a senior at UNC-Chapel Hill. Hunt says he is joining the Chancellor's Club because "it is a very worthwhile cause as explained to me by Mrs. Elizabeth Mclntyre (PSU resource development officer). Jimmy Hunt Jerry Johnson Lycurous Lowry There might be people not as fortunate as myself who may need scholarship help. When my wife attended PSU, she borrowed money and worked part-time. We want to help others. And, too, this community has helped me quite a bit through the years, and this is a way to assist others." Hunt is also a Braves Club member. Johnson's automobile business employs 39 persons and serves a 30-mile radius of Lumberton. A native of Rowland, Johnson is the son of James Johnson, who also operates an automobile business, Rowland Motor Co., in Rowland where Jerry worked from 1978-87 before as suming the presidency of the Lumberton automobile firm. A graduate of Wake Forest University with a B.A. in anthropology, Jeny Johnson taught at the University of Nebraska for one year before returning home to enter the automobile business. He tells of teaching five defensive starters on Nebraska's 1977 Liberty Bowl football team. Johnson is married to the former Yvonne (Von) Smith of Lumberton, an East Carolina University graduate who teaches first grade at Avalan Academy near Dillon, S.C. They are parents of a daughter, Kelsie, 9, and a son, Trevor, 7. Johnson, who is a member of the board of directors of the N.C. Automobile Dealers Association, says reasons for his joining the Chancellor's Club include the fact "that I have a lot of customers at Pembroke and I am interested in academics. Pembroke State University is important to the area." Johnson said Chancellor's Club members Dr. Ray Pennington and John L. Locklear were instrumental in his joining. Lowry is a PSU graduate, earning a B.S. degree in science. He farms 600 acres on both sides of the juncture of U.S. Highway 74 west and N.C. Highway 710. He also raises cattle and horses and was in the hog business. Lowry served in the U.S. Air force for four years, taught at Hawlceye School in Hoke County for four years, and went into the farm business which he inherited and expanded. He is the father of four children, Pamela, Selinaand Felton, who live in Orlando, Fla.,and Lyavans, who lives in Pembroke. Lowry, who is serving as president of the Robeson County Farm Bureau and on the state board of the N.C. Farm Bureau, says that "being an alumnus, 1 want to support the University. I have been a member of the Braves Club for seven years. The late Earl Hughes Oxendine and I were friends for life, and 1 want to support the scholarship in his name. I've also known Chancellor (Joseph) Oxendine all of my life." PSU Professor's Article Published In Magazine An article by Dr. Robert Reising, PSU professor of communicati ve arts, was recently published in the teacher's supplement of "Agora: The Magazine for Gifted Stu dents." The article concerned Lumbee literature and Lumbee hero Henry Berry Lowrie. The magazine is circulated internationally. It carried Reising's picture and a note about Pembroke State Uni versity. Romine Attends Regional Musical Meetings Dr. Robert Romine, chairman of the PSU Music De partment, recently attended the Southern Division Con ference of the College Band Directors National Confer ence and the National Bank Association in Charlotte. He also attended the Southeastern North Carolina All District Band Clinic at Richmond Senior High School in Rockingham. At the latter, Romine gave a presentation about "Careers in Music" and included a profile about PSU and its degree program in music. The Coach's Corner By Ken Johnson Major League Baseball Sandberg Secures Reecord Sal ary, the morning papers are saying. The Cubs 2nd baseman is the first player to get the 7-million salary. And this happens when the Sporting News' Ken Picking writes the fringe major leaguers are being hammered into accepting Triple A contracts. The rich are getting richer and the rest have to take what is left over. Taking the pay cut won't be ac cepted by many players so they will have to get out One also wonders if a 1993 strike will wipe baseball out. Fay Vincent is also wobbling in his job over the Japanese trying to get the Seattle franchise. The owners are not backing him. The game usu ally survives but the two new teams Colorado Rockies and the Florida Marlins are frozen out of T.V. rev enues after spending $95 million franchise fees plus S30 million for other expenses and if a strike comes with a reduced season, baseball will truly suffer with great financial losses. If the game is put first, the selec tive ethic it can survive. The situ ational ethic puts each individual team selfishly fust, example $28.4 million for the Cubs' Sandberg while Denver and Florida lose $150 mil lion. The Players Association is sure to be heard from over the big salary gap between the non-producing stars and the regulars.
