Old Main building on the Pembroke State University campus at the invita tion of Dr. Paul R. Givens, PSU chancellor. "I am pleased to welcome 'Strike at The Wind' to our campus,"announced. Dr. Givens. "It is entirely appropriate that these offices be located iinOld Main. I hope that the (public will continue to support this significant historical drama." . The move received the backing of the drama association at its December meeting. "Strike At The Wind, " which is the story of Henry Berry Lowrie and the Lumbee Indians' struggle for self-relia cation during the Civil War Era.hu had its offices housed since its inception in the Lumbee Regional Development Association building through the gene rosity of the LRDA. Adolph Dial, a Lumbee Indian who is chairman of the Board of Directors of "Strike At The Wind' and also director ?f American Indian Studies at Pem broke State University, expressed ap preciation to LRDA for its hospitality. Sad said Old Main would be a more idral headquarters for the drams because Okl Main is an Indian landmark in this area. It was the Hint brick building constructed at the former all Indian re mln uie State Cottage in 1923, The Lumbee Indians sttnch greet sentiment to the building hecauee It has played sueh ? vital role In their s III tt^gl m^Ms4eam Asa s|u I Imltsneaslw I Wwvlllg IHrn I IfllVWlttl'/ aampus and eepemettv to >oid Main Is ftm for 'Strike Al n?e Wind ' " said t K# jggj deeede has madelATW ainfol> "Peegle wM be sMe la laaele HwlATW offices more easily. Old Main is an ideal location because of the nature and history of the drama. We are very/ appreciative to Dr. Givens and others for permitting us to come <n the University campus with our SATW offices." Dial said he doesn't know of aiy other place historically speaking that would make a better location for SATW than the Old Main structure, whose former brick walls still stand but whoseothers portions have been reconstructs! and modernized at a cost of SI.6 nillion. Furniture has already been moved into the building, but it is not expected to be fully operational until near the time of the 1980 Pembroke State Unversity homecoming on Saturday, Feb. 16. "Strike At The Wind" will hwe two offices on the second floor of the building with both being located near Dial's American Indian StudiesDepart ment. The SATW general manager and his staff will be in them. Pembroke StateUniversity feels Old Main is ideally suited to house the offices because Old Main has the possiblities of developing into one at the Indian culture centers of the nation. On the first floor of the 37,750- souse foot structure is a Native American Resource Center, a cultural center, a Luinoee Room, an assembly room plus a room for artifacts storage. It is expected to be a top attraction for touristswho want to learn about Indian culture.

"That area is to us what Jerusalem is to the Jews,'' said Myrtle Driver from Cherokee, North Caolina. After losing a round in the U.S.District Court in Knoxville. Tenn., theChero kees, the American 'Civil Liberties Union and others, have taken their case to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnatti, but have failed to get an injunction to halt the flooding pending the settlement of the case. Dr. Duane King, an anthropologist and director of the Museum of the Cherokee in North Carolina, said that a 19th Century Cherokee prophet foretold that the Cherokee would exist as a people only as long as the waters of the Little Tennessee continued flowing downhill and the vegetation remains.
