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.
Turner of the UNC Board of
Governors as speaker, it has
something extra planned.
There are 33 foreign stu
dents on the PSU campus
from 12 different countries.
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?

universe popped up" concept.

IS YOUR INSURANCE
AGENT LOCKED INTO
ONE COMPANY?
r
There are 2 ways to boy insurance You con buy your insurance from a one-company agent.
But they're locked into only those policies that their company sells. So their bonds are tied.
Or you can boy your insurance from on Independent Insurance Agent... the more
thon-one-compony agent. You see, a Big "I"' Independent Agent like us doesn't work for
just one company. We represent several. So we're free to give you an impartial,
independent opinion and help advise you on the best coverage
of the best price. And that goes for homeowners, automobile,
business, life and health insurance. f yoUft/ JL/flwyfelM
Before you reach a verdict about insurance, see your Big "I" i ktsunme ? agent /
Independent Insurance Agent... the more-than-one-compony V ??v.. ?*. t??T V
agent. We're not locked into one company.
