bear original Indian names
while hundreds of waterways,
towns and natural sites are
identified by words of Indian
origin. The permanence of
Indian influence in North
Carolina is evident"

RON SANDERS... PSlTs new
Baptist campus minister.
Ron Sanders, who for the
past six years has been the
Baptist campus minister at
both Illinois State University
and Dlinois Wesleyan Univer
sity (they are three fourths of
a mile apart), is the new
Baptist campus minister at
Pembroke State University.
Sanders, 32, a native of
Louisville, Ky., earned his
B.S. in Murray State Univer
sity in Murray, Ky., majoring
in geology with minors in
chemistry and biology. He
received his Master of Divin
ity in pastoral care and
counseling at Southern Bap
tist Theological Seminary at
Louisville, Ky.
From 1979-80, Sanders did
his Baptist campus ministry
internship at Western Caro
lina University.
"I have always wanted to
come back to North Carolina
since being at Western Caro
lina University," said San
ders. "I like the beaches,
coast and mountain areas of
North Carolina. I also
consider working with the
North Carolina Baptist State
Convention staff a real plus."
Sanders says his goal is "to
be an authentic communicator
of the Good News of Jesus
Christ."
He had these comments
about Pembroke State Univer
sity's Baptist Student Union,
called "The House." which is
located across from the
Performing Arts Center on
the fled Springs Road. "One
of my goals is to get more of
our activities to move on the
other (PSU) side of Red
Springs Road. I also want to
work more with commuters
and have some kind of
relationship with faculty and
staff."
Sanders believes it will be a
big advantage that the James
B. Chavis University Center,
which is close to the Baptist
Student Union, is available
this fall. Students will have
more accessibility to the Stu
dent Union because of the
increased student population
in the direction.
Sanders is married to the
former Better Jo Ward of
Murray, Ky. They are parents
of three children: Judson Lee,
5; Charles Ward, 3; and
Shelton Elizabeth, 1.
