NO DISCRIMINATION
I
Keener, La.- Dr. Paul R. Given*,
newly-appointed chancellor of Pem
broke State Univeralty, said Tuesday
afternoon that there will be no
discrimination by the institution against
Indians during his administration.
"1 can assure you," he told the
fas ilea Indian Voice, in a telephone
conversation, "there won't be fewer
Indian students and fewer Indian
professors under aw."
His response came in answer to
charges of discriminatory practices of
the past. Indians, troubled fey their
failure to seat one of two highly-quali
fied Lumbee Ph. D.s as head of the
previously all-Indian institution, have
I
been fearful that they will not be given
fair and equal consideration, now that
Chancellor English E. Jones is retiring.
Jones is a Lumbee Indian.
A controversey has arisen over the
Giveas appointment, the legality of
which has been questioned by some
Lumbee lawyers and a Lumbee states
man. Also involved in the protest has
been the North Carolina Commission of
Indian Affairs, headed^by Bruce Jones.
Dr. Givens was reached by phone at
Kenner, La., where he is vacationing
with his son. Dr. Gregg Givens, and
family. "I am looking forward to
mealing all of You," said the soft-spok
en psychologist of 58.

Price for the Carolina
Indian Voice going np
...reluctantly
Pembroke- Alas, rising costs (and
galloping inflation) are forcing us to
raise the price of single issues of The
Carolina Indian Voice, as well as one
and two year subscriptions.
Beginning June 15, the single cost of
The Carolina Indian Vote* will increase
to 20c. The price for single issues has
remained constant at ISc since we
began publication January 18. 1973.
Beginning June 15, the cost of a one
year subscription to The Carolina Indian
Voice will increase as follows:
IN STATE
fWrriON NORTH CAROLINA!
One year was 17. and 28c tax for a
total of 17.28. \
The new price will be 89.00 and 36c
las for a total of W.J6.
A two year subscription was 110.00
and 40c las for a cost of 110.40. The new
price wfll he IIS 00 Md 80c tas for a

This will be only the second increase
since the Carolina Indian Voice was
incorporated in 1972. But printing costs
have increased five times in the same
time frame, usually 10% increases at a
time; and Uncle Sam (the postal service")
has just recently increased mailing costs
by 10% not including the seemingly
yearly increase of stamps for mailing
letters, statements, etc. Plus everything
in America has increased in a feeble
attempt to keep up with inflation which
seemingly eats everything in its path.
We pray fervently that you will
continue to subscribe to The Carolina
Indian Valet, still one of the best
bargains around at any price. We do
sincerely need your support, both
financially and morally. We also solicit
vour prayers.
To lessen the blow as much as
possible, we have estetided the date for
beginning the new rates to June IS.
