mffFw^f f' ' W**^' < *: |^TEDITORIAL ?&ATD OPINION "We cannot know where we are going if we do not know where we have been." ? by Bruce Barton 1 congrats to the winners... Politics pots a ptemlam on Ike Andrews, a nun who has had tronblo with drinking and, in tun, trsAc tickets. The two go tofether. And he got caught just before the election. It looked like dooms days for Ol' Ike. His opponent Bill Cobey, fueled with money from the Congressional Qub played it cool and did not make an issue of Ike's drink ing problem. He expected the voters of the Fourth Con gressional District to turn 01' Ike out. They didn't, fee won. took his punishment like a man, said he was sorry, and kept on politicking. I am glad Ike won. It gives comfort to others with drinking prob lems. I ought to know. 1 am an admitted alcoholic myself, although I have not taken a drink in almost twelve years. CONGRATULATIONS TO CONGRESSMAN ROSE And congratulations to Congressman Charlie Rose, probably one of the moat personable and effective con gressmen in die House. But 1 am glad Ed Johnson gave him a spirited race. * Charlie honest, and effective. Competition will do wonders for one's sagging spints ^ w^l,itdtaTa? The N.C.

I met him (maybe he won t mind if I tell it) in alcoholics anonymous a few years ago and we became friends of a ?*. tlthough I awifcrf w? far a lone time. Once, while <hTink out at my mind, 1 called Um expecting aympathy and got "nuts to you" in return. I never forgot It. It helped aober me up. and 1 am proud to report today that 1 took my last drink of booee November 15, 1970. That's my aecood greatest accomplishment. The first is. of course, recognising my need Cor a Saviour, the lord Jesus Christ. 1 was not surprised to learn that my long time fnend NC called afSsrsr fighting the big boys foe all U? worth. He spdaks for "the wee people." WeB, be has already found out that the big boy' dojwt tike the Httk boys. And be la forious at the University of N.C. at Chapel HU1 for denying him the right^o other events at the university. |pog[iiin?i Jl?fltnr there, tuUL - Right is a letter 1 sent Brewer and below is a letter to the editor I sent the N.C. Landmark Bob Windsor. Editor Poet Office Box 2362 Chapel Hin. North Carolina 27514 Dear Bob: I was delighted to receive my latest issue of "The N.C. Landmark" and read "Landmark Editor 'stonewalled' at UNC." It was pure and delightftil jour nalism. fresh from democracy's table. As long as you tend to the needs and aspirations of "the Wee people" every thing will work out all right in the end. - Believe me. I have been doing just that for the last ten years as editor of the Carolina Indian Voice. Journalism is one of the last bastion's of freedom in America; everything else seems to be going to the devil. And if ' JWnMltSin is left to graduatesof journal ism schools and other educated folk even that bright light will be dimmed soon. Rich Brewer, Sports Information Officer at UNC-Chapel Hill, is discrimi nating against you for being "a small newspaper." It is no different than when the liberal (sic) university used to discri minate against Black and Indian stu dents. Discrimination is evil, no matter what the guise, even that of expediency. As I understand it. Brewer is denying you sports credentials because he claims he doesn't have enough space. That's pure malarkey, as I see it. ine mmDee mver tieciric mem bership Corporation (located at Red Springs in infamous Robeson County. North Carolina) used that same feeble excuse last year when I was arrested summarily for attempting to attend one of their board of director meetings. I pressed the point, of course, and even tually won my case. The co-op paid the court costs, refusing to allow me a forum and, eventually, the meetings were opened up to the public, especially to the consumers who pay the wages of those who devise stupid rules to circumvent their real bosses ? me and you, and tax payers like us. Press your point, my friend. Count me in. I am Joining you. Attached is a letter I am sending to Rick Brewer today de manding the right to attend athletic events at the University of North Caroli na at Chapel Hill, as a reasonable and responsible editor of a weekly newspap er located in Pembroke. North Carolina. Here's the point: if the university lets "big" newspapers attend games, then conversely, they must let "little" ones like me and yon. too. Anything else is racism, discrimination, denial of our right to practice the First Amendment and other guardians of real freedom in America. The Brewers of the land must yield when pressed in America They either must do that or go to Russia, or some other country that does not pay attention to Democracy. I am talking about "real" democracy, the right of a man to prac tice his calling without prior restraints like censorship and the like. It is ironic that you are denied access to a tax paid facility in Chapel Hill, sup posedly "the most liberal place in Amer ica, or. at least, North Carolina" as a professor there told me once. Either Brewer will allow us to attend those ball games, and other carryings on there, or that professor is lying in his teeth Let the university speak up or give up its "liberal" calling. Let the university treat you and me Just like the "big beys" or dose up shop. Fight sa. Boh. Count me with youT in spirit and in person if need Your friend and admirer, fteurtoo editor TOE CAROLIN A INDIAN VOICE NEWSPAPER Peat OfBce Box 107? Pembroke. North Carolina *37J Sports Information On University of North Caruuna Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514 * "* Mr. Brewar: My name is Bruce Barton, editor of the Carolina Indian Voice, a weekly news paper published in Pembroke, North Carolina. I serve approximately 3,000 readers (including vending sales) and am located in the heart of the Lumbee Indian community, some 30,000 strong. I respectfully request permission tq > attend sports events at UNC-Chapel Hill, specifically as a member of the working press. I have noted your exclusion of Bob Windsor, editor of the Landmark in your area. When you discriminate against a ??little" newspaper you evoke my ire and disdain. As you probably know "liberal" (sic) UNC-Chapel Hill once discrimin- k ated against Blacks and Indians and ex cluded them also. To me, as thelndian editor of a weekly newspaper, the exclu sion of weeklies and bi-weeklies is rank discrimination and racism even. Please consider my request carefully. - If I can get up enough money and support I will, ifyou deny me the right to practice / my calling of journalism .probably pro test further via a lawsuit or by other means available to me as an American and, more than that, a First American. Do right. Treat all news media the same, the big ones and the little ones. You cannot defend denying me the right to cover sports events at UNC-Chapel Hill. There are many Tar Heel fans in* *5 - ' . * Robeson County; there is even a booster ? club, if I am not mistaken Bob Oster necfc, one of your biggest boosters, has a large manufacturing plant in Robeson County and, as I understand. maintains a home in this area too. Sincerely. Bruce Barton. Editor Brewer has already replied to me. telling roe: that he just can't let ntuc ..v- spapers into the . games because he only has room for the big boys. I'm itching 'fir this fight 'cause Brewer is as wrong as two left shoes. We'll keep yoij infor med. 1 propose tha; '.?rewer, and all state universities (with your tax money ana federal dollars) set up a rotating " system, treating all newspa pers the same. 1 ought to have the same right to attend a football game at Chapel Hill and report back to you as the Raleigh News and Observer does. Remember! All people are given the right to vote. A poor person's one vote counts as much as a rich person's one vote. Newspapers are no different. The same rule applies. rjsMEmmsmiaHHM LETTERS TO ^ ^ THE EDITOR Thanks from the Baha'i Community To the Editor: Too rarely, those that per form a public service are given well-deserved recogni I tion for their good works. Newspaper editors and writ ers are surely among those whom we take for granted. During October, when we observe National Newspaper Week, we would like to express our appreciation for your work in providing a forum for discussion of issues and events that shape our world, for reporting these happenings that affect our daily lives, and for bringing to our attention events and trends that shape our future. Your services bring light and order to an often dark and chaotic world. We are especially grateful to the Carolina Indian Vote for publicizing the perilous situation of the Baha'is in Iran who are the victims of brutal and fanatical persecution. Such publicity has surely been instrumental in allaying what would otherwise be an* even more hideous persecution. The Carolina Indian Vote performs a great role in Robeson County. Thank you for providing this invaluable service to our community. Sincerely, Greg Myacm, CUnmi Great Way to USE YOUR GREENBAX S k CjM 1 FOR PIGGLY WIGGLY STORES IN I / LUMBERTON. PEMBROKE. MAXTON.
