Duxght Lowry* back iuith
the Detroit Tiger*
Dwight Lowry, the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Lowry
who live near Pembroke,
was called back up to the
major leagues with the De
-. troit Tigers last week. It was
a thrill for many of us, and a
testament to Dwight's de
termination to make it as a
big league ballplayer.
For posterity's sake,
here's a copy of the box
score from Dwight's first
game since being called back
up. He got a hit too. Good
luck, Dwight We hope you
have many more at bats in
the major leagues. The game
was played May 22.

Indian* come up second beet
again at PSU
Who can understand the
mind set of a bureaucrat an
administrator? They, most
times, think differently from
the rest of us. A case in point
is Dr. Paul Givens and his
administration at PSU.
Dr. Dal ton Brooks, head of
institutional research there,
Was passed over for the
position of vice chancellor
for academic affairs. Accor
ding to information garnered
Brooks made it to a final list
of two from a bank of 46
applicants for the important
post
According to a negotiated
decree with the government
the UNC system of which
Pembroke State is a part
has agreed to recruit more
minority (well. Black really!)
students and staff and facul
ty in order to satisfy a
complaint brought against
them by the justice depart
ment
Although not black (Dr.
Brooks is a Lumbee Indian),
it seems that PSU could have
made a positive point by
hiring a minority. But like I
say, administrators and bu
reaucrats have their own
way of doing things. And
seemingly Dr. Wright Killi
an, who was chosen, fit that
criteria better than Dr. 1
Brooks did.
Still, since PSU has few
minority administrators and
faculty members, it does
seem that they missed a
golden opportunity to add
meaning to their stated
commitment (sic) to educa
' 'opportunity for all,
including blacks and Indi
ans. It used to be said that
Indians and blacks were not
chosen for posts because
they were not qualified.
Since Dr. Brooks is iminently
qualified, I guess the criteria
has changed. It seems
that Indians and Blacks now
have to wrestle with the
problem Of coming up sec
ond best in the selection
process at the school devel
oped for and, in the main, by
Indians. But serious consi
deration is, I guess, pro
gress. It's better, I suppose,
to come up short than not to
be considered at all.
Still, having a qualified
Indian to an important post
at PSU would probably have
been a more appropriate way
to celebrate the school's
centennial than anything
else I could think of.

Pembroke-Coach Ronnie
Chaws' charges are now in
the victory column, after two
opening losses to Stedman
and Hoke County. American
legion Post 205 in Pembroke
scored its first victory of the
season as they prevailed
over Fayetteville 6-5. Post
205 unleashed a 12 hit attack
to back tHe pitching of Mike
Lovin wt o scattered six hits
in picking up the win.
Morgan Tatum led Post
205 with three hits, includ
ing an RBI. Laney Orr added
two hits and two RBIs, and
Richie Griffith added two
hits and an RBI.
The win gives Pembroke a
1-2 record for the fledgling
season. Pembroke was to
play Pinehurst last night at
home. Results next week.

PEMBROKE AMERICAS
LEGION BASEBAIL
Is a ministry of gotxi
sportsmanship as was shown
hv American legion Post
Commander Bobby Dean
Cochlear when her read the
Legion's Code of Sports
manship in the Saturday
night's pre game ceremon
ies. Hie code reads as
follows:
I WILL
Keep the rules.
Keep faith uith my team
mates. '
Keep my temper.
Keep myself fit.
Keep a stout heart in defeat.
Keep my pride under, in
victory.
Keep a sound soul, a clean
mind, and a healthy body.
Coach Ronnie Chavis said
he impresses his players
with the importance of the
feeling of team play and the
importance of each player.
You can also see this in the
work of Legioniers Rudy
Locklear, Billy Hunt, man
ning the gate and Pbstmas
ter Chavis, in being score
keeper and announcer.
There was good fan sup
port. The teams looked
extremely professional in
their nice uniforms as did
the coaches. The ten dollars
spent for a season ticket is
well worth it and the coll
ege's providing the field at
Minimum cost is a tine
contribution to the legion's
effort in its sports program.
Now I can't help contrast
this scene with the Calgory
vs. Montreal hockey play
offs. There were bloody
noses due to "high- stick
ing," knock-outs, crippling
injuries, complete lack of
self- control. The league
could put a stop to the
mayhem if they desired.
They could give a player a
warning sign as is done in
soccer and the second time
the referee gives the sign the
player is put out of the
game. Hockey sure sets a
bad example for young peo
ple. They should try win
by good hockey, not by
fighting. They should adopt
a code of sportsmanship as
the American Legion has
done. However, hockey does
show a "spirit-a spirit of
reconciliation" at the end of
the game as the two squads
line up and shake hands as
they pass each other. How
ever, they seem not to
realize how rediculous they
lookm as grown men fighting
when it is supposed to be a
game. Professional hockey is
no different than profession
al wrestling and roller derby,
once they loose pride in
proper conduct they've lost
it all. It does matter.

A PLEA FOR HELP FOR
KAYLA LEIGH SMITH
To the Editor
By now everyone in Robe
son County should know
little Miss Kayla Leigh
Smith, the little baby with
the liver disease that always
has a big smile for everyone.
Babies with biliary artesia
are happy right up to the
time they die. They will
share a smile with you no
matter how bad they feel
because they don't know
what it means to feel good.
As Kayla's father, I see her
smile many times a day. I
also see her health going
down hill-and fast. Her
blood tests that determine
output of the liver worsens
everyday. As her liver swells
she has more difficulty brea
thing because it's pressing
on her lungs. As Kayla's
liver worsens, so does her
other major organs. She
needs a transplant now,
while her heart, lungs and
kidneys are strong enough to
withstand the strenuous
surgery.
At this point, we don't
have the funds to get Kayla
on most of the transplant
lists around the country. She
has a balance of (73,826.41
in her trust fund today,
which is a long way from the
amount needed to get
n BBBBBBBBPOOO
her on most of the major
transplant lists in this coun
try. These transplant centers
will not help us find Kayla a
liver until we can get her
evaluated at their Centers
and she gets on their list
As Kayla's parents all we
can do is pray and ask the
people of Robeson and sur
rounding counties to help us
reach our goal so these
centers will be actively sear
ching for Kayla a new liver.
Kayla needs these trans
plant centers to be working
in her favor.
Without immediate help
of the people of Robeson and
surrounding* counties she
may never get the chance to
share that big smile much
longer. Would you PLEASE
HELP us by contributing in
these ways? (By dropping
your change in contribution
boxes around the county;
participating in upcoming
events; or mailing your
contribution to the Kayla
Leigh Smith Transplant
Fund. P.O. Box 827, Lum
ber-ton, NC 28359)
Thank you very much and
God bless.
Sincerely,
Larry & Kim Smith

Tasty maxim for hot weather
I once watched a bird-dog "hunt" the perimeter of a
3-acre lake for three solid hoars, non-stop, in the hot
sun.
How did he do it, without over-heating? HI never
know. But kids, at a certain age. will try to do pretty
much the same thing ? if you let them.
Harness their energy. Remember, kids are prone to'
over-heating until at puberty, their sweat glands. :
mature. In hot weather, therefore, follow this maxim: I
Drink plenty of water before, daring, and after pro- I
longed physical activity ? both for kids and adults. ||
