PfEDITORIALg 'A ND OPINIOm ?We Cannot Know Where We Are Going \ &A K We Don't Know Where We've Been... So fittingly we honor our Pioneer Fathers *******#*#*?******#********?*****< As I See It { by Bruce Barton ? A NOTE OF THANKS... FROM ALL OF US TO ALL OF roc... There are seven of the Lew Barton and Berna Barton off spring left from an original nine. We used to say. in the off hand manner, that we were lucky because we had never experienced grief or death or debilitating illness. In the last IS months a sister and a brother have been struck down in the flush of their lives, both in their thirties and alive and vibrant and seemingly well adjusted until Death, the Grim Reaper, snatched them behind the veil of eternity. Death is so final, so traumatic, so incom prehensible. Yesterdays were carefree, unthinking, taken for granted, as if we might live forever. Now, Ruth, our oldest sister, is dead, unable to tell us where she has gone. And "Big Era," our middle bro ther, has fallen too. We are left alone, bereft, changed, different somehow since they have gone behind the unknown curtain of death. But we have Hope Eternal, and you. Hope comforts us With the thought that we shall see them again in the Perfect World beyond this pale fore runner of what is to come. And your e i press ions of concern make the present moments bearable. Love and concern and the kind thought is all that ? is lasting in this life. We thank you-for your eipressions of kindness during our bereave ment. We are thankful beyond our abilities to say so. A stark "Thank You" will have to suffice on this earthly plane.

"The Smile at the Foot of the Ladder." and "The Tropic of Capricorn." Miller was 42 before "Tropic of Cancer." his first book, was published in 1934. but it was to become his most significant work. It was a book about Miller trying to write a book, and its unflinching, explicit, vulgar descriptions of exploits in Paris bars and bordellos is considered a milestone in easing literary inhibition about frank language and sex. Poet Ezra Pound reportedly delivered the manuscript to a Paris publisher, saying, "Here's a dirty book that's worth reading." The book sent shock waves through society. It was brand ed obscene and banned in the United States. Admirers said Miller's four letter words were daring wit and convention-smashing de fiance. He became a cult hero in Greenwich Village. But detractors said Miller was a foul-mouthed exhibi tionist who relished the use of obscenity. I And although I have quit cussing in reverence of my Lord and Saviour and in deference to my Christian brothers and sisters. I under stand why Miller cussed so difiantly. He was able to cuss without rancor or ill will. That took the meanness and sin out of it. Henry Miller gave me many wonderful moments. I wor shipped him in a literary sense. He was the Patagonian Man. the man who had overcome the world in his own fashion. He knew no guile. He loved life but awaited death with a jaunty "Well, come on...what's keeping you?" And he lived until he died, fully and uncompromising. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR IN HONOR OF HONOR STUDENT v *-1 Zonya F. Loeklear I would like to discuss the recent graduation of Pembroke Senior High School. It was a very unique cere mony in light if all others in the county. Traditionally the Pembroke community and parents of graduates have always taken pride in the accomplishments of the top honor students. However, during this ceremony no recognition was made to this affect. Though the top 10 students were called to the platform and received merit certificates, there was no emphasis placed here as was on such awards as "Best All Around." "Citizenship," and "Attendance." It is my impression that any student as my daughter. Zonya F. Locklear, who has achieve** Either Valedictorian or Saluatofian should without doubt, be recognized for all her efforts and indulgence. My daughter. Zonya. with many other deserving class mates had involved herself with many extra curricular activities yet having not neglected the academic growth and determination to achieve the very top honor of the class for several years. Zonya has been the top student of her class for several years. Losing this honor her Junior Year provoked more determination to be Vale dictorian her Senior year, which was denied to her or anyone else in the Senior Class of 1980. It is my hope and prayer that the new administration and staff will seriously consider the effects of the students, rather than the political influence that has prevailed in this policy change deleting Vale dictorian and Salutatorian from Pembroke Senior High School. Let it be known that as of this date and publication, we the Family of Zonya do confer upon her all the honor and recognition that was unjustly denied her. Let it also be known that we are proud and appreciate your achivements because we believe in you and we love you. Zonya, "Congrat ulations" The Parents and Faaily of Zonya F. Loddear. CAROLINA INDIAN VOICE Pembroke, N. C. 28372 LUMBEE TRIBAL ENROLLMENT:. 'THE DAWNING OF A NEW BEGINNING' ^ The Lumbee people of'Rob eson and adjoining counties of North Carolina are petitioning the U.S. Government for ac knowledgement of their exis tence as Indian people and in one way or another Jiave been doing so for the past three quarters of a century or mote (since 18881. Now, at last, the Federal Government has fin ally published a list of guide lines which wilt enable tribes such as the Lumbee Tribe to gain such acknowledgement, although the Tribal Roll is only one of the requirements. Although only one part of the package, however, we feel it will be the most important and most difficult to obtain as there are over 40,000 of us. Yet, with the dawning of the 80's we as Indian people will be entering a new beginning 1 and a brighter future for ourselves, our children and our children's children after them. Certainly this is so if we cooperate. America is still the greatest nation in the world, and the present policy of consideration for all offers us all the promise of brighter opportunities. Together, we can make this truly the dawn ing of a new beginning for all of us and our posterity. A new beginning through an official Tribal Roll is the best way to begin again. Such a Roll will give us accurate numbers and other important statistics with which to work. The Tribal Roll will serve as a basic instrument for our offici al petition to the Federal Government for Federal Rec ognition, and will greatly enhance our opportunity for ' ? f success. We have just entered a new decade and with each decade comes a challenge. But we are progressive people, and toget her we shall rise to the challenge and resolve it. But we need your name on the Tribal Roll Now! A Tribal Roll is simply a census, a means of identification. It is your way of saying, "Yes, I'm a Lumbee Indian and I'm willing to stand and be count ed." What could be simpler than that? It will take only a minute or so of your time to register, yet the benefits are endless. A hundred years from now, your great - great grandchildren can be proud of the fact that you were proud to be an ? ir*' Indian- anproved it. In the old days, a,Tribal Roll was not absolutely necessary because Indian school 'enroll ment automatically took care of the matter in an official way. But we must now face reality. Our schools are gone and along with them the so-called "Blood Committee" of yester day. Now we must do it a different way. It is the only way. really, to remain a viable Indian community. Without a Tribal Roll, the identity of our people as Indians would be inevitably lost. Tribal enroll ment is a small price, indeed, to pay for the guaranteed perpetuation of our people as Indian people. Yes, this is the dawn of a new beginning.... -Lew Barton Hiwa Lawn Tricks Don't fall behind on autumn landscape tasks, and your lawn and shrubbery will spring more beautifully to life after the winter.

L ?oaeri44. ?t c MHHHTJVTIVT'' mm VPAP PSU Cancels Camp PEMBROKE ? It was announced today by Ann Webb, women's coordinator of athletics at Pembroke State University, that the women's basketball camp act for June 23-27 has been cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. That makes three camps set at PSU for the sum mer: All-Sports Camp on June 9-13; Wrestling Camp on June 16-20; and Men's Basketball Camp on July 21 23. CHALLENGES LACK OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT PEMBROKE STATE Dear Bruce: I can't help but contrast the interest and enthusiasm there was when you founded the Braves Club and what condi tions are really like now at P.S.U. The dropping of the Girls Basketball camp sched uled for this summer is a typical example. People go where there is leadership. You can have the best of facilities and with no leadership people just won't go there. A good example is the best of play grounds with all the apparatus and no leader, kids won't go there. PSU has the best of facilities and still just one beginning swimmers class scheduled for the fall semes ter. Other activities that have been dropped are women's intramurals, required physical education, tumbling, the ad ministrative structure, ie. The task force left out the study of physical education, which lea yes a real bias opening for allkinds of breakdowns in communications. And makes one wonder who are we really educating? For example- the twelve girls who play volley ball all fall taking up two gym floors- place the divider be tween the two gym floors and give the volley players one gym and use the other gym floor for girls intramurals on I Tuesdays and Thursdays like ? we had it in the old gym. There have been over five thousand men and five thou sand freshmen women who have not had physical educa tion since we went into the new gym. We had more physical education in the ok) gym than we have in the gym so dedicated to English Jones. If we didn't need the new gym then so desperately we would not have gotten the new one. It just does not make sense. P.S.U. continues to ignore its obligation and duty to service its students in favor of trying to win games. We have athletics for the few recruits and not athletics for the freshmen class. The cost of the pool and new gym plus the terrible cost in lost oppor tunities for learning, enjoy ment in physical activities is too great a price to pay for our students. Sincerely, Ken Johnson Retired, but not retired from battling for P. E. How About Henry Berry Lowry? Dear Sir: I can't understand why some sort of marker or monu ment hasn't been erected in honor of the most famous Indian of us all. Had it net been for Henry Berry Lowry and his men, I seriously doubt there would have been more than two races in Robeson County, only Black and white. 1 am in no way related to the man, but my grandfather was an associate of his. His old home here should be made into a monument to or in his memory. Even though he (Henry Berry) killed my great-great grandfather, Brant Harris, a Home Guard sent from Ra leigh to kill Henry Berry Lowry. to me, among our people in my mind, he will always be our greatest Indian hero. How can an Indian be classed as a renegade in his own land? Jesse J. Mayaor Pembroke, NC 28372 Plastic vegetable bags make good shoe bags when you're packing.
