Supportive Home Environment
Flayed Big Role In Shaping
Success Of Ruth Dial Woods
Ruth Dial Wood*
Ruth Dial Woods, who was
elected during the past sum
mer to an eight-year term as a
toemker of the UNC Board of
Governors by the N.C. Gen
eral Assembly, spoke at Pem
broke State University Wed
nesday as part of the school's
"Success Sharing Series,"
explaining that her home
environment had much to do
with any success she has
achieved.
Mrs. Woods, 49, is a
Pembroke resident who is
assistant superintendent for
compensatory education pro
grams for Robeson County
Schools. She earned an A.B.
degree in Spanish and Eng
lish from Meredith College in
1962 and in 1982 received an
M.A. in Educational Adminis
tration and Supervision from
Pembroke State.
"I had a warm, supportive
family as I was growing up,
and my greatest gift was a
loving grandmother. Prom
them I learned such things as
love, support, discipline, self
control, and humility," she
said.
, Mrs. Woods'said she was
"expected to do well." As she
grew up, she said she was
encouraged to be "compet
itive."
Her life was molded around
her family, home situation,
community, church and
school. Her church helped to
provide her with beliefs and
values.
A graduate of Pembroke
High School, she said she
"was fortunate in that my
parents could afford to send
me to college." Her father
was a principal and her
mother a classroom teacher.
Both are deceased.
Only 15 when she finished
high school (she took summer
work in finishing in three
years), she attended Meredith
College for three years and
then became a "willing drop
out" She moved to Detroit
"decided Td get married, and
did."
* While in Detroit this young
lady with "an inquiring mind
and a willingness to learn"
took courses at Wayne State
University. She later returned
to Meredith College after six
years and completed the
fourth year of her education.
Mrs. Woods has broadened
her education, studying at the
University of Michigan, Ap
palachian State University,
East Carolina University,
N.C. Central University and
UNC-Chapel HilL
Her achievements are mon
umental. Mm Carter. MU
director of alumni affairs,
read part of them in introduc
ing her for the sharing
session.
In her opening remarks,
Mrs. Woods said, "Success
means something different to
each of us. I keep thinking
when I grow up, I'll be
successful. I consider myself
still growing. I don't think
I've grown up yet"
Later she stated she wants
to earn her doctoral degree
and that others have encour
aged her toward this goal.
"I've had many, many
opportunities. I've taken ad
vantage of these--and I've
been helped by many, many
people," she noted, mention
ing some names in the
audience. Mrs. Woods said
there were opportunity _> for
service, leadership, and mak
ing contributions.
Admitting that she can
"accept things and not let my
feelings get hurt," Mrs.
Woods still maintained
"whatever I set out to do, I
want to accomplish." She said
success is achieved by being
"goal-oriented."
She said the problem with
many people not achieving
their goal is lack of self-con
fidence. "Hiey don't have the
nurturing, they have a fear of
failure, and a lack of commit
ment"
Mrs. Woods said, "We're
all different and all unique.
We need to believe in our
selves, that this is where our
talents lie. We are all capable
of success if we are willing to
pay the price."
Mrs. Woods is married to
Noah Woods, principal of
Magnolia School in the Robe
son County School System.
There are six children in their
fa m tier
wuiimj?
In conclusion, Mrs. Woods
said in. addressing the stu
dents in her audeince: "1
sincerely wish for each of you
that you will utilise your
experiences here at Pembroke
State University to begin your
vision quest, building upon
your background, your cul
tural conditioning and your
pursuit of learning and life's
purpose to set your goals
without fear and without lack
of confidence in your ability to
succeed, realising that in
setting goals, you have fiiD
control of your destiny."
Mrs. Woods dosed by
reading these words by Bessie
Anderson Stanley. They are
as follows:
"Ho has achieved suceees
who has Bred well, kiughed
often and loved much; who
has enjoyed the truth of pure
women, the respect of intell
igent men and the love of little
children; who has filled his
niche and accomplished his
task; who has left the world a
better place than he found it,
whether by an improved
poppy, a pretty poem, or a
rescued soul; who has never
lacked appreciation of earth's
beauty or failed to express it;
who has always looked for the
best in others and given them
the best he had; whose life
was an inspiration, whose
memory a benediction."
West Robeson
Wrestling
Team Looks
Forward to
improved Year
The high school wrestling
season is just around the
corner and the West Robeson
team members have been
working hard to erase their
|M?t petforJ-mces over the
last two years. George Ban
croft is the new coach of the
program this year. He belie
ves West Robeson can have a
good program if the young
people will be a bit more
disciplined and tomitted to
their desire of wanting to win.
"When this does happen,
then I bleieve this team could
be a conference contender
and then a state contender in
the very near future."
The team has been learning
a lot of moves to out manuev
er their opponents as well as a
lot of conditioning for the boy
and mind, according to Ban
croft There are not that many
kids out for the team as usual,
he said, but that is because
most of the students know
little about the sport and they
think they will get hurt.
"There are by far more
serious injuries in basketball
and even bicycling than wres
tling," the coach said. "The
students who are out for
wrestling are really looking
good."
Returning from last year s
team is Conference Champion
Randy Smith at 155 -167.
Randy is a good athlete and a
hard worker, the coach said.
"He has potential to be a
state qualifier." Also retur
ning is Harvey Deese at 98
lbs. He is another quality
performer in the lineup. Greg
Sampson ihould provide
strength as should returnee
Timmie Maynor and possibly
Lynn Burns. Finally, Mickey
Locklear at 112 lbs and Neil
Sanderson at 185 lbs also
return from last year* s team.
Pembroke State's Television

A PS I -TV interview is being
taped here for showing by
Pembroke, Lumberton, and
Fayettevilie cablevision net

chief of staff of the 18th
Airborne Corps of Ft. Bragg,
is being interviewed .by Dr.
Monte Hili of the Pembroke
State University Political Sci
ence Department.
television programs pro
duced by Pembroke Slate
University's public television
station, WPSU-TV, will soon
be aired on cablevision net
works in Lumberton and
Fayetteville as well as Pem
broke.
This will mean that more
than homes ihroewti
out the Cape Fear region will
be able to see programs which
are filmed, edited and prx>
duced by WPSU-TV, say
cablevision officials.
Scott Bigelow, manager of
Lumberton Cablevision, says
his network will start airing
PSU public TV programs each
Friday at 7:30 p.m. on Chan
nel 19 of its cablevision-plus
C-Span channel.
"Our first telecast of these
programs will begin this
Friday (Nov. 221," said Bige
low. "It will be an interview of
Pembroke State University
poets Grace Gibson and Dr.
Shelby Stephenson. These
programs will be 30 minutes
long."
Bigelow said these will be
the first local programs in
serted into the Lumberton
cablevision system.
"We are very excited about
it," said Bigelow. "Every
thing is all set to go techni
cally. We will accept as many
programs as PSU has. We are
very eager to obtain these
types of programs because of
their community flavor."
Fifty-two percent of Lum
berton Cablevision subscri
berS take cablevision-plus, on
which the PSU programs can
be picked up. But Bigelow
says "sometime in the first
quarter of 1986, we hope to
put them on Channel 6 so they
will be available to all of our
subscribers."
Meanwhile, Randy FYaley,
vice president of operations of
Fayetteville Cablevision,
wants the WPSU-TV pro
grams on his network as soon
as possible. "We plan to start
them Thursday (Dee. 5)," he
said.
Fayrtteville Cablevision
will put on the PSU programs
at 6 p.m. on the first Thursday
of each month on its C-Span
channel. "The time will be
from 6 7 p.m. We will piggy
back 30-minute programs
'!?*<** to hack.".! iiud Ear!
Larlans, communications
manager of the Fayetteville
station.
Fraley added this optimistic
note concerning the Fayette
ville station: "After April or
May of 1986, we should have
a channel which can give
Pembroke State more time for
its program."
The two initial PSU 30
minute programs on Fayette
ville Cablevision Dec. 5 will
be (1) an interview with Brig.
Gen. Bernard Lneffke, chief of
staff of the 18th Airborne
Corps of Fort Bragg, and (2)
"Tea with Anne Hathaway."
a one-woman play starring
Patty Joder and directed by
Jack Peryouse of Methodist
College.
Fraley said half of his
Fayetteville subscribers see
the C-Span network on Chan
nel 20 and the other half on
Channel 2.
"We have 60,000 homes
subscribing to our Fayette
ville cablevision," Fraley
stated.
Bigelow said 3,000 Lumber
ton homes take cablevision
plus, on which PSU programs
will initially be shown. "We
have 6,000 homes receiving
cablevision in all," he added.
Both the Lumberton and
Fayetteville cablevision net
works are part of American
Cablevision.
Heretofore, WPSU-TV was
seen only on Channel 3 in
Pembroke subscribe to Alert
Cablevision, according to Dr.
Oscar Patterson, director of
telejommunitcations at PSU.
witn fern broke, Lumber
ton and now Fayetteville
cable vision carrying WPSU--.
TV programs, Pembroke State
University will blanket this
region with programming,"
said Bigelow. "These pro
grams will go out to the bulk
of the subscribers in Cumber
land and Robsmon crTUfji**
and part of Sampson County.
It is a tremendous expansion
for Pembroke State's vis
ability. The school now has an
open door."
Public service announce
ments will be aired on both
Lumberton and Fayetteville
cablevision as well as pro
grams, says cablevision offic
ials.
Dr. Patterson, who has
worked long and hard to make
this TV visability possible,
said "getting on the Lumber
ton and Fayetteville stations
is a fantastic step forward for
PSU."
Chancellor Paul Givens of
PSU also termed the new
thrust as "great for the school
and the area we primarily
serve."
For students taking tele
communications courses at
PSU, this will represent a
tremendous avenue to see
their efforts on the TV screen
throughout this entire region.
As everyone connected with
the programs has said, this
represents a whole new hori
zon for PSU.
