The 110 page publication, which includes 40

ine oook's co-authors are Dr. David Eliades, PSU Professor

edition will soon arrive.
Eliades and Oxendine worked for two years in gathering
material and writing the book. They utilized public records,
manuscripts, interviews, books, articles, newspaper stories
and unpublished studies. ,
"We believe the final product is very readable," said
Eliades, who in-1975 was also co-author of a history of the
Lumbee Indians entitled: "Hie Only Land I Know'." The other
co-author of the 1975 book was Dr. Adolph Dial, chairman of
the PSU American Indian Studies Department.

handwritten copy of the legislation creatihg the > Croatan
Normal School in 1887. McMillan was a state legislator from
Red Springs whose bill began the Normal School which
evolved into PSU.

members of th?j PSU Board of Trustees from 1887-1985. Also
listed are all heads of the institution and the years they served.

are that eleetrical voltage
"spikes" can seriously dam-,
age personal computers and
other sophisticated home el
ectronic equipment, a local
electric official said. Ronnie
Hunt, general manager of
Lumhee River Electric Mem
bership Corporation, urged
consumers to irotect their
costly electronic gear against
the danger. *
?
Voltage spikes, suddpn ex
treme power surges that may
be caused by lightning and
disturbances on distribution
lines, may last only a few
millionths of a second. But in
that short time, they can wipe
out computer memories, stop
programs, or damage the
equipment. Hunt said. He
warned that integrated cir
cuits in television sets, video
cassette recorders, anu tnicfO
wave ovens also are vulner
able to spike damage.
"The first line of defense,"
Hunt said, "is properly groun
ded wiring which warranties
on many appliances requirr.
However, the safest bet for
computers and other sensitive
electronic equipment is to
install relatively inexpensive
voltage spike protectors."
Voltage spike protectors are
simple plug in devices similar
to adaptor plugs which sell for
approximately $10 to $20.
Although more sophisticated
and costly protective devices
can be purchased. Hunt said,
spike protectors are generally
adequate for most home equip
ment. He urged consumers to
check with electronic dealers
to determine the type of
protective device best suited
to their needs.

Native American Resource
Center Seeks Community
Involvement
The Native American Resource Center, often, called "the
Museum" in Old Main 11*811). is looking lor members of the
Community who are interested in Indian issues. These issues
include Indian education; prvseivation of Indian culture and
heritage; archaeology as a way to learn about Indian culture;
Indian health concerns; American Indian Studies in general;
and any other Indian related issues. Anyone whii wants to
participate at any level in discussion of these issues, or in
activities related to these issues, can contact Dr. Stanley Knick
at 521 4214 (extension 282'.
Old Main, and the Native American Resource Center, are
living symbols of Indian culture in this area. Dr. Knick stated,
"Our approach is not one that sees Indian culture as
something dead and gone, but rather as something alive and
present. Sure enough, Indian culture has a prominent place in
local history. But Indian culture can also be a vital force in the
future of Robeson County and the State of North Carolina.
What it takes is people, in every walk of life, who are willing to
take an active part in the on-going process of preserving
Indian heritage, the on-going process of expressing Indian
concerns."
Dr. Knick continued, "Currently we are working toward the
Celebration Festival of American Indian Arts and Culture to
be held on the PSU campus November 7, 8 and 9. If you have
ideas or suggestions about how vbu, your organization,
church, or other group could be involved in this important
estival, let us knqw. if there are other Indian issues or .
:oru erns which you think ought to be .expressed, we want
o hear about those, too.
"The Native American Resource Center is not just a
museum. It is a Resource Center. This means that it is a place
J for exchange of all kinds of resources: educational, cultural,
community, human. Join us in the exchange process--the'
community and the Native American Resource Center will
both reap the benefits."
