lASl! ?SEEIT by Brace Barton 1,1 ? ? WLUM BROADCASING AN EXCITING ADVENTURE I've always liked. creative people like Tommie Dial, now an announced candidate for the U.S. House of Repre sentatives from the 7th Con gressional District. He. has excited me anew with an announcement that his long held dream of WLUM Broadcasing (Radio, and pos sibly TV too) is off and running. He and major investors Allen G. Dial. Carl Ricky Jones and Dallas Locklear. Jr. have formed WLUM Broad casting Co., Inc. and they're hard at work making their dream of broadcasing capa bilities in this area a reality. I wish them well. 1 like men who dream and dare and do. Everyone is positive about WLUM. Believe it can be done, and it will. Previously Dial has dream ed (along with others, of course) of a social action agency, a bank, and more. LRDA and Lumbee Bank are proof that dreams can come true. Go to it. fellas. Count me as a positive supporter, and one who will help however I can. WLUM is my kind of dream! JULIAN BOND SPEAKS AT PSU TONIGHT If you get a chance, come out and hear Senator JtWh' * Bond tonlghf; qe's my idefcpf the erudite man. The chance to hear a Julian Bond is one of the many special treats that comes from Pembroke being home of a major university. Bond, state senator from Georgia and the first black nominated for Vice President of the United States (in 1%8), will be the speaker at Pem broke State University to night. Feb. 16. as PSU continues its observance of "Black History Month." Bond speaks at 8 p.m. in the PSU Performing Arts Center. Admission is $5 for adults and S3 for students. PSU students with I.D. cards will be admitted free. Now 44 years old. this native of Nashville. Tenn., is one of the black leaders of America. He was recently named to Time Magazine's 200 leaders List. He writes a nationally syndicated weekly column for Newspaper Enter prise Association. Inc. In a lighter vein. Bond hosted the "Saturday Night Live" tele vision show in April. 1977. and played the part of a civil rights lawyer in the Warner Brothers movie. "Greased Lightning." While attending More house College in Atlanta, he became active in the civil rights movement in the South. In 1965 he was elected to the Georgia House of Repre sentatives, but was barred from taking his seat by legislators who objected to his statements about the war in Vietnam. Despite winning two special elections in 1966, he still did not take his seat until 1967 after a Supreme Court decision that the Georgia [ ,l#gisl#tur^Tiad en-ed in refus ing him his pljfe. Bond eventually served four terms in the Georgia House and in November of 1974 was elected to the Georgia State Senate where he now serves. Bond has long been in the forefront of the battle for civil and human rights in his native South. "We are changing the color of Southern politics." he says. "The way to do that is not to go after the big jobs, but to concentrate on the little ones closer to the people. If enough blacks are elected at the grass-roots level, it is bound to have a major impact on politics at the top."

I All Indian I students I1 eligible for Indian Fellow ships To The Editor: 1 would like to clarify some I misconceptions relative to In dian Fellowship applications as a member of the National Advisory Council on Indian Education. Contrary to what Indian students may have heard, it is not necessary for in Indian student to be enrolled in the Lumbee Tribe in order to obtain financial assistance under the Indian Fellowship Program. * Any Indian student who is enrolled or enrolling in medi cine, law, business admini stration, education, engineer ing and/or natural resources is eligible for the program simply by providing proof that they are Indian. This may be done by your birth certificate, drivers license, etc. It is not necessary to be enrolled, I say again, in the Lumbee Tribe, the Tuscarora Tribe, the Cherokee Tribe or any tribe. These fellowships are open to any Indian whether he or she has a tribal enrollment num ber or not. These applications are not only available at LRDA, but from the U.S. Department of Education, Room 2177, 40( Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202. As a member of the Nation al Advisory Council of Indian Education, I am available to answer any questions you may have relative to this program. ? Robert B.

COACH'S CORNER Coach Ken Johnson THE HOOK SHOT There is no three second time limit for being in the lane on the home basketball court so players find themselves under the basket a great deal of the time. It is an ideal place to develop the hook shot. A player learns to bend his elbow or hook his arm for this shot. Practice hooking both left and right arms for both sides of the basket and out front and put spin on it to help the ball to go in. It is extremely hard to defense the hook shot. It is great fun to shoot it. It is Kareem Abdul Jabbar's favorite shot and it has made him the All time leader field goals in the NBA. The learning law of drill certainly applies to perfecting the hook shot. Lumber ton Chiropractic Center Dr. Sherwood F.

Vocational students getting involved Dear Editor These days when there is so much talk about youth vio lence, drug abuse, high scho ol dropouts, teenage unem ployment. i and apathetic young people, 1 would Iik6 to tell you about an organization that is working actively and energetically to help prepare America's youth for the fu ture. I belong to FUTURE BUS INESS LEADERS OF AMERI CA PHI BETA LAMBDA, a national nonprofit vocational association for students pre paring for careers in business and business education. Na tionwide, we have over 200,000 members. My local chapter at Robeson County Career Center has a mem bership of over 30. One of the main objectives of my loc?l chapter, and other chapters in some 6,500 com munities throughout the country, is learning about free enterprise. We work with local businesses on projects thai can benefit not ouiy FBLA-PBL members, but the community, too. We recognize the import ance a free economy plays in all our lives and we want to learn how to work within the system to make it better. Then, we hope to share our knowledge vbith others in the community. In this way; we will be working to support free enterprise and preserve the standard of living we are now able to enjoy. Our national theme is 'Get ting Involved...Today For To morrow." We hope that our community will give us an opportunity to show our inter est and dedication to this important aspect of American life by cooperating with us in our efforts. Sincerely, Eyvette Emanuel, James C. Lewis President, Robeson County Career Center PO Box 1328 Lumberton, N.C. Mary B. Hunt, Adviser ~Writer offers "Answers" for better education , in Robeson County Robeson County, with 5 school systems, a group of Robeson County commission ers, and help (supposedly) from the North Carolina De partment of Public Instruction cannot come up with the answer for better education in Robeson County. I would like to offer a few ideas that are sure to be winners. First priority, return to one school system throughout Ro beson County. All students begin from the same equal starting line, with the same equal exposure to better education. Robeson County school ad ministrators, teachers and in structors, parents and stu dents, will have to become disciples of discipline in order '? to snare 'the respect thiKB' very essential to learning and the application of same. Mor al standards have to be nothing less than very good to suffice. Impressions are made on young minds that are never forgotten. These impressions must be kept respectable if we are to achieve better edu cation in Robeson County. Robeson County school ad ministrators. teachers, in structors and parents, should know where school students are 24 hours per day. If school students cannot pay respect to the persons who are with them day and night they cannot contribute to any wor thwhile cause or endeavor. If one cannot contribute, one cannot compete. If one cannot compete, one cannot win. All social promotions must be stopped at once. In my opinion there are those in the Robeson County school sys tems who are not qualified for some of the duties they are asked to perform. Yet time and less than quality edu cation continue to bring them closer to retirement at no less cost to the taxpayer. Parents should let it be known that if a teacher is not qualified to perform the duties set I'onh in his or her contract with the Robeson County school sys tems. said parents will seek an indictment of fraud against these unqualified persons. Dr. Gerald Vlayuor and Dr. Dalton Brooks, professors at Pembroke Siaie University and members of the Robeson County Board of F-ducation. as I sec it. find themselves on the short side of better education in Robeson Counts , because the appointment of the present chairman of ihe Kobeson County Board of Education is the tie-breaker in a political power play set up to continue business as usual against better education in Robeson County. Parents should let it be known that they are tired of seeing their children being deprived of better education because of power hungry politicians. Dr. Maynor or Dr. Brooks should have been elected chairman, but both of them stand for progress and improvement in education. And this makes Dr. Maynor and Dr. Brooks unpopular as board members. Lines drawn across any area denotes divisiveness, which is a sure sign of weak ness. With all the lines drawn across Robeson County de noting 'school districts it S" no' wonder there is a lot to be desired with the qualify of education therein. It is not only a waste of money with 5 school systems but an insult to the intelligence of the taxpayer. It also denotes self ishness. stupidity, absurdity and discrimination. Do not forget. If you do not oppose this practice against human kind, you must surely con done it. And if you condone it. how do you explain it to our Father in Heaven? John L. Godwin Pembroke. N.C.

They are not neceaaarlly anyone elae'a. Heck! r MEANDERING WITH GARRY L. BARTON SAINT ELSEWHERE! 9 Well. folk. Valentine's Day, another "fantabulous" (a cross between fantastic and fabulous) celebration, has come and gone, taking with it a bunch of good people's money. Actually, it ain't Valentine's Day. The prim and proper name of the February 14th celebration is Saint Valentine's Day, so named after a martyr of the third century. And the customary practice of giving valentines (greetings cards), candy and flowers and such to your sweetheart on February 14th has nothing whatsoever to do with the saint, God rest his soul. I've heard that this expensive practice was the brainchild of a salesman for a greeting cards company. Yea, it seems it all began as a commercial sales gimmick to sell the company's greeting cards. And, needless to say, it worked. Yea, folk! Looks like we've been had again. Don't get me wrong, now. 1 bought my sweetheart candy last year. And I bought her some this year, too. And, no doubt, will buy her some next year too. It's become a nation-wide accepted way of life now. I'm afraid that if I don't buy her candy like everybody else does, somebody else will come along and buy her some and possibly knock me out of the saddle. If one checks closely after Valentine's Day has come and gone, he (or she) might be sadly disappointed with his (or her) findings. No doubt the man will find himself fleeced for a minimum of $10. The sweetheart will find herself with little more than a temporarily satisfied sweet tooth and a mouthful of i? cavities brought oa, by eating pounds and pounds of candy. And everwho manufactures Valentine's Day candy and paraphanelia will make enough money off gullible suckers like me to bide him over until the next Valentine's Day rolls around. Perhaps we gents ought to do like an enterprising young man I'm acquainted with does. Each year, it seems, he buys his wife a really large box of candy. But. the secret is. he's always a day late delivering the sweets to his sweetheart. Finally, he admitted his little secret. You see, Valentine's candy is exceptionally expensive the few days leading up to Valentine's Day (February 14th). But most stores are instructed to start selling the candy at half price, if necessary, after noon the day after Valentine's Day (February 15th). Otherwise, I doubt the manufacturer could store the candy for a whole year, waiting for Valentine's Day to roll around again. If enough people done like this brilliant fella' this expensive candy-giving custom on Valentine's Day would eventually die out. And, as_ far as I'm concerned, everybody would be better off. Don't get me wrong, though. I'm not against honoring or recognizing your sweetie by buying her candy or flowers. But why not do it more often? Maybe if we fellas' treated every day of the year like Valentine's Day, and showed the little lady we loved them, maybe the divorce rate would drop. Hey. fellas'! That brilliant chap has a good idea, huh? Next year, let's wait until the 15th to buy her candy, if you feel she's got to have the candy. Or. better yet, why not take her out to dinner? She'd probably appreciate that...and her dentist too. No, on second thought. 1 doubt her dentist would like it; he makes a living on those cavities that thrive on sweets. Or, heck, better yet, join with me and let's start a new custom. This Father's Day, I want my sweetheart to buy me a box of candy, prefer4^y-tha*4affy candy on a stick known as a 'Sugar Daddy.' And I want a card that reads; "Please Be My Sugar Daddy." Hey! I like that. It kind of haves a nice ring to it, don't it? Just joshing, folk. Seriously, though, hope all you ladies had a happy Valentine's Day. And hope you men weren't fleeced for too much. We'll talk some more later.
