Pembroke State University ?V OCNK WAWWFH PSU LIKES TO MAKE THANKSGIVING EXTRA SPECIAL Thanksgiving is a very special season for Pembroke State University. Not only will PSU have its fifth annual Thanksgiving Convocation at 11 a.m. Tues day in the PSU Performing Arts Center with Dr. E.B.

They come from points as distant as Korea and Japan in the Far East to Finland in Europe and several countries in Africa. Thanksgiving is such a short holiday that many re main on campus during this entire vacation time-and so Dr. John Chay. chairman of the PSU History Department who is advisor to the inter national students, has asked for PSU faculty and staff members-indeed anyone--to extend a special hand of American friendship to the foreign students at this time. "I know that many people have obligations to relatives and friends at Thanksgiving, but if anyone can invite one or two or any number of these international students for Thanksgiving dinner, it would be wonderful-and greatly ap preciated by them." said Dr. Chay. Would you like to make ? happy a foreign student a long i ways from home at this " Thanksgiving? We are sure | you would. Why don't you telephone (919) 521-4214, Ext. 229, by Tuesday and say you would like to have a certain number as your guests for Thanksgiving dinner? That turkey would taste so much better if you are sharing it with some young student from another land. Why not call?
