READERS' FORUM Mormons Strtss I ndividual Responsibility To Achieve One'm Destiny To the Editor Recent news on TV Evangelists help* drew a parallel from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.' Caesar received the shouted warning "Beware The Ides of March" from a soothsayer in he crowd. On the Ides or the 15th day of March a celebration and games honoring the dictator were scheduled as well as his dotted assassination by jealous and ambitious associates in the Romaa government. Caesar recieved this warning from the soothsayer, another warning from his pleading apprehensive wife. Calpumia who had seen him murdered in a dream. The soothsayer warned him a second time as he entered the senate that morning and. Artemadorus handed him a written warning at the same time. Caesar's feelings of ?ontrol of self, government, and associates seemed to give him 1 mental aura of self sufficiency, invulnerability and ? invincibility which prompted him to ignore the repeated warnings. This was his undoing. The unsuspecting Caesar received dagger thrusts from the hands of twenty trusted associates, most of whom, had been convinced they were acting in the best interest of Rome and her people. Is is possible that when we feel most secure, self sufficient and self satisfied we could be most vulnerable? Can we be our own worst enemy? Will a personal code of ethics based on - biblical and religious teachings give us better guidance? Are we personally responsible for our own destiny? Can it be better achieved with God's help? Do we contract AIDS from someone we don't know? Cancer of the lungs? Alcoholism, drug addiction? We have received repeated warnings, do we as Caesar, choose to ignore them, to our own peril? Have we found the enemy? And is he us? The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), teaches individual responsibility U> self, family, church, country, and others with anxiously sought help from God! We should beware our own Ides of March!

Shown here in the ye weby- making class are Jane Chavis Oxen dine [Left] and Georgeanna Chavis (rigAtj Standing is Ev>i Chavis Jones. There's an adage that you're never too old to learn-and it certainly fits three sisters ages 81. 67. and 65 from the Pembroke area. At those ages all three are taking courses in the Art Department of Pembroke State University. One is taking both art and jewelry, one is taking only art, and one is taking just jewelry. Together, they have eight children, 12 grandchildren, and four great grandchildren. As 65-year-old Geoigeanna Chavis, a beautician for32 years says: "It is so good to be doing this rather than staying at ' s # homo A guttti* otaL" Bm is alaMr taking both art A jiwuiry. which equal ate rem?fr boun credit Tba 81y?r-old taking art ia Eva Chavia Jodm, while the 07 year-aid taking jtwolry ia Jana C ha via Oxendine. Each ia therefore gaining three aamaatar boun credit What does it coat for thorn to attend PSU7 For the two siaten taking one couraa each, it eoat just tlS for the application fee. For the sister taking two courses, it coats a S15 application fee plus an $18 activity fee. Under a resolution paased by theUNCBoard of Governors in 1975, residents of North Carolina 66 yean or older who meet applicable admissions standards receive free tuition if they enroll in courses where there is available space at UNC System schools. Two of the sisters are alumnae of PSU. Jane graduated in 1943 from what was then Pembroke State College for Indians. She taught Ekiglish and social studies for 15 yean at schools in Sampson County. Fairmont and Robeson County. Eva graduated in 1938 from what was then the Indian Nortpai School of Robeson County. She was also a teacher for 19 years, instructing in the elementary school grades. Georgeanna did not take college or normal school courses at Pembroke State, but did have eighth grade classes in Old Main. Why are they attending college now? Each wants to improve herself. Eva says, "I've been quilting since 1965 and want to know how to paint better. T ve made so many mistakes and had to wash off the paint. I like being able to design my quilts." She added she also has returned to college "for my personal pleasure." Jane, who is bothered by an arthritic condition (she has had several joints replaced), explained that learning jewelry making will help in a business she helps to operate. " We run Lumbee Arts and Crafts on US Highway 74 about four miles from Pembn-t ?. Customers come in and ask me, "Can you fix this for me?" 'Hiey are talking about rings and bracelets. I feel ?? ? ? b*dly wfcaa U?y ifek m? to halp ud I ai l I n enjoying Warning how." .

"I have aiwaya wanted to paint, but never had time to lean. I bad to help with the family. Taking these classes lifts you up. The young people are so kind. It is so good to find an interest in life." i ' Georgeanna then looked at Eva's painting. 'Tin not as good as she is at this, but she has been painting longer^" Georgeanna added with a twinkle. As for taking jewelry making, Georgeanna said, *Tm ta&Oc it as a hobby. I want to design my own jewelry. I love it. tyirill be so enjoyable making different bracelets and rings." > Teaching the sisters art 1a Ralph Steeds, while their jeweliy instructor is Paul Van ?andt, chairman of the PSU ^A1"1 Department. "Mr. Steeds is really good," they agreed. ?^fe makes you feel so comfortable." Of Van Zandl, they said: "Mr. Van Zandt is a very fihe teacher and one of the nicest guys out here." Eva says her daughter. Donna Sue Jacobs, will graduate from PSU this spring with a B.S. in Business Administration. Jane's daughter, Hope Oxendine Sheppard. is secretary for the PSU vice chancellor for institutional advancement and coordinated alumni affairs for the recent PSU homecoming. Mrs. Sheppard has a daughter. Terena, who is a freshman majoring in biology at PSU. Eva, Georgeanna and Jane speak with amazement about the growth of Pembroke State University in their lifetimes. "I never dreamed it would grown like this. I can get lost," says Eva. "I'm thankful that people consider PSU a good school. It has been a blessing U> the community," adds Georgeanna. Jane concluded by saying: "It's a treasure becoming what it has become.When I entered it (in 1939). there were only 75 students. Everyone knew everyone. It is now helping the country whereas before it was helping only the community." Djt . Zj^tmm To Fi& tz T jrts From FSZJ In May Dr. Jesse Lamm, a member of the Pembroke State University faculty since 1969 and coordinator of PSU"s Special Education Program since its beginning in 1976, has announced he will retire in May. Lamm, 62, who calls Greenville home, earned his B.S. in both physcial education and social science and his M.A. in school administration at East Carolina University. He earned his Ed. D. in recreation education and administration at New York University and has done additional study at Rutgers University in human relations and at the University of Iowa in school administration. Lamm has done post-doctoral study at East Carolina University in special education in teaching the mentally handicapped and those with learning disabilities. He has pioneered many programs in special education, including starting the first full-time program for the mentally handicapped in North Carolina. It was located at Caswell Training School in Kinston where Lamm was employed from 1949-54. Speaking of B.S.degree program in special education, Lamm said: "We feel we have an exemplary program. We have 35' majors in the program this spring, freshmen through seniors. This'does not include those teachers who take courses for certification in the field in the summer." Lamm, who has 24 1/2 years of working for the state of North Carolina, including his 19 years at PSU, says he has "loved" teaching at PSU. "ft is my favorite place to be. The best ..coUege. Iput it ggawl UNC CfrwelHijl or anywhere else^We thejp?Wr?lMnMHMfctfrfo*>ted but teaching oriented. They are a well-prepared faculty which works well with students." 'In retirement, Lamm says he would like to do "a little bit of traveling and some type of mission work education-wise or with njv hands." Skilled in carpentry, plumbing, and electrical wiring, Lamm volunteered his services as part of a mission effort from Robeson and Scotland counties to Managua, Nicaragua, which was devastated by an earthquake in 1974. He is a member of Chestnut Street University Methodist Church in Lumberton. His hobby is raising shrubbery. Travel-wise, he would like to return to Omaha Beach in Normandy, France, where he took part in the D-Day invasion as a coxswain aboard an LCM (Landing Craft Mechanized). He would also like to revisit England, Scotland and Wales where he was in World Warll plus visiting Germany. "Td also like to go to Hawaii," he added. Going with him, of course, will be his wife, the former Mary Lewis of Dublin whom he praises to the skies and who retired three years ago as a teacher with her last assignment being at Lumberton Middle School. They are parents of two children: Mary Helen, a teacher in Durham County Schools, and Jim, a program director with WKFT-TV in Fayetteville. Lamm, 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, looks as erect in stature as a teen-ager, but had some health problems recently when an artery in his neck with 90 percent "plugged up," he says. It was cleared, but he says another artery in his neck is 90 t percent in the same condition. Yet, he looks in vibrant health. A man who was reared in foster homes-his mother died when he was seven and his father was an alcoholic--Lamm is thankful for the good things that have happened to him in his life. That is why he wants to help others more than ever, when he retires. "Fm thankful to have come to where I am from where I started-and I feel I owe someone something," he says. Mr. & Mrs. Blakeslee Jones announces the birth of a daughter, Kaisa Rebekah, who weighed 7 pounds and 3 ounces when bom February 19 at Scotland Memorial Hospital in Laurinburg. Mrs. Jones is the former B?trtrH Announcement Clementine Locklear, daugh ter of Mrs. Quessie I^ckJear and the late Rev. Percell Locklear. The paternal grand parents are Mr. Wiley Jones and the late Nancy Beulah Jones. The Jones have four sons, Ryan, Damien, Tevor, and Justin.
