"No" to Changing
pSU'sName
?
To the Editor:
Changing the name from
Pembroke State University to
the University of North
Carolina at Pembroke, is not
the answer to greater success
in the field of meeting the
world head on. Truth of the
matter is it disturbs the local
Trustees and those not so
local to mention name Pern
broke in reference-to educa
tion.
Trustee Dennis Lowery of
Charlotte, who made the
motion to change names,
chose to live elsewhere rather
than seek to improve or
promote a better educational
program in his home town.
Trustee Ira Pate Lowry of
Pembroke, served as band
director at PSU for several
years and all the time was
hoping they would change the
Trustee Burtin Lowry ot
Cary helped with the "we
don't like the name PSU
campaign." There are 13
members on the PSU Board
at Trustees and it is disturb
ing to know that S at them are
Indian and they fell for Paul
Givens' story that he is asked
whese ever he travels if PSU
is a private college.
The truth of the matter is,
Paul Givens, the Trustees, the
alumni and the faculty, have
failed to advertise the finished
product being turned out at
PSU. Changing the name of
the institution will not im
prove the product quality. As
for the notoriety attributed to
Pembroke, NC no one has to
be told where it is in the
origina]48. I can almost hear
Paul Givens say to these
people who he claims have
asked him where PSU is
located that it is on the north
side of the seaboard railroad
tracks about half way between
Wilmington and Charlotte.
One of the Low cry's (Trus
tee) said a degree from a
university carries a lot of
clout. Richard Millhouse Nix
on attended Duke University
which has lots of clout.
Richard Millhouse Nixon was
just smart enough to get
caught and had to resign the
Presidency after demeaning
the office of the Presidency
and losing face with the free
world. Is this the kind of clout
Lowery is talking about?
If the product is getting
better at PSU aa Paul Given*
says it U, why is it so
necessary to change the
name of the producer? Mote
double talk from Paul Given*
as 1 see it.
I am asking all of the people
who are concerned and still
have your sanity to let these
Trustees of PSU and Paul
Given* and William Friday of
UNC and the UNC Board of
Governors know that this
entire episode is totally ridic
ulous and that you prefer the
name changing of PSU oeast
and desist.

Consciences!"
Dear Editor:
I am a concerned North
Carolinian.
We are about to make some
terribly important decisions at
the polls on November 6.
Most politicians would have
you believe that these are
races between the Democrats
and the Republicans, but I
don't believe they are that at
all. In the top level races, both
state and national, this elec
tion is a decision between
liberal thought and traditional
or conservative, thought.
In general, the liberals of
our day are pushing for higher
taxes as a way to reduce
deficits, more centralized
government controls and,
consequently, more inter
ference in the private lives of
people and more promises of
government give away pro
grams that cost a lot of
taxpayers' money but don't
ever seem to accomplish what
they're supposed to.
On the other hand, in
general, the conservatives
want less spending as a way
to reduce deficits, smaller
government, lower taxes, less
interference in the lives of
people and greater emphasis
on self- reliance on the part of
the individual. These latter
ones are the Constitutional
principles which made
our country great and are, I
believe, the oely principles
that will keep us great.
Which set of principles do
you choose? The choice has
never been so clear. These
issues are so critical to the
future of our great nation and
to succeeding generations of
our children and grandchild
ren that I believe our choice
should override all party
considerations of Democratic
vs. Republican. Our choice
needs to be on the basis of
which set of principles is right
and best.
We shouldn't hang on a
party label.. We should now,
of all times, votes our con
sciences!
Sincerely.

Halloween's bite is tooth decay
Candies and sweets ? Children love them. Halloween
offers them. But tooth decay is on the way unless we
ensure vital care for our children't teeth and gums. Teach
your kids to brush at least once a day.
Limit the "bad guys," like candy, jelly, and sweet things.
Good foods, like milk, and fruits, are excellent sources of
nutrients for .healthy teeth and gums. Good eating
habits are as important as good dental habits.
Proper brushing, diet, and periodic check-ups make
healthy, happy children... P.S. - Don't let the "sweets"
from Halloween bite into your children's teeth!
