MOTHER AND DAUGHTER GRADUATE MAY 7 AS PART
OP FAMILY OF FOUf ATTENDING PSU
A mother, two of her daughters, and one of her sons have all
been students at the same time at Pembroke State University
this year- and the mother and one of the daughters will
graduate together Saturday, May 7, jit PSU"s conujljk'ement
exercises. % r.
They have commuted from their home*f^7W"Hope Mills _
Road in Fayetteville. For S'/i years, the mother and daughters
rode together in the only car they own. The son, a freshman at
PSU, joined them in riding this year.
The mother is Mrs. Violet Baker, 46, who is graduating with
a B.S. in Elementary Education (K-4). Graduating with her
(actually in front of her in the alphabetical graduation line) will
be daughter May Baker, 22, who will earn a B.A. in English
Education. Mary is a Chancellor's Scholar at PSU, meaning -
her full tuition is paid.
Had not Amy Baker, 23, been sick with a neck injury, she
also might be graduating along with her mother and sister
May 7. But she will have to delay her graduation until
December, earning a B.S. in Mathematics. Amy attends
Atlantic Christian CaHage (or one year before transferring to
PSUand hda a "part of the PSU campus even though I'm a
commuter."
The youngest member of the group is 19-yearold fix karri, a
freshman majoring in music. He has a music scholarship.
Violet Baker, the mother, says her family has received a
great deal of financial assistance from PSU. "Petribroke State
has broken its back to help us get through, telling us
everything for which to apply for financial aid. The school
cares that much. For a family which doesn't have money,
?we've found the government will help you."
They come from a household "where eight live under one
roof," as they put it Besides the four PSU students, there are
the father, Ray ? Baker, who has been disabled for six years
since being injured performing fireman duties at Pope Air
Force Base; Violet Baker's 84 year old father, Ckrcarr
Turlington; and two more of the Bakers' children. Susan, 25, a
registered nurse at Southeastern General Hospital in
Lumberton, and Charles, 15.
"'And we have only one bathroom." smiled Violet Baker.
But despite some inconveniences, the family seems as
happy as a kid at Christmas. Eveiyone helps with the
household chores, the four going to college assist one another
in areas where one is more talented than another, and the
disabled father is more thrilled over the educational success of
his family than anyone.
"Dad cooks breakfast for us each morning and is going to
have a big pig picking at our house the day of graduation."
they say. Violet Baker, a 1960 graduate of Hope Mills High
School, is also going to a class reunion that same day.
Violet Baker said she had never thought much about going
to college because her dream in life "was to be a good wife
and a good mother." But when the children started leaving
home, going to school and returning wilh all the books, "the
bug hit me," she said.
This family of four from Fait* tteviUe an all attending PSl',
and tut) will graduate May 7. Shuuv in front is the mother,
Violet Baker. Standing behind her |left to right) are daughter
Mary, who also graduates; son Richarxl, a freshman; and
daughter Amy, oho oil! graduate in Decern Iter. The family
has eornmut* <1 m thnr one ear from Fayetteeille.
"Hie PSU Admissions Office called to confirm Mary's
admission, so I asked: 'Does one have to take the SAT
(Scholastic Aptitude Test I to go to college at my age?' They
explained that adult students (those 21 or older) do not. I had
always had nightmares about taking tests. So I thought,
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." I applied and. low and
behold, 1 got admitted right away." said Violet.
(joing to college with his older sisters and mother has been
delightful for Richard- "It's been really neat," he says. "My
sisters were always ahead of me in school, so I never had a
chance to go to school with them. Then mom came along too,
and it has been really fun."
Violet Raker says college has been "a new adventure"
which she has enjoyed sharing with her children. This is from
a woman who "held a telephone job for 10 years" and also has i
kept as many as 17 children at home in a day care situation.
Violet says the professors at 1*SU have lieen most helpful as
counselors. "I'm the type person in class for whom you have
to write it on the board, tell me, and then I" ve got to read it.
Yet, I've been able to pass all the tests."
Mary, a superb student who the family agrees "is the
smartest," has been a Dean's list student and winner of the
Outstanding Senior Award in the English Department.
Winner of second place in a regional and state writing contest,
she has been chosen an outstanding biology and music
student. "If I could spend the test of my life at Pembroke State
University, 1 would." says Mary. "It feels like home here."
All the Bakers seem to feel that way as they look to the big
happenings on PSU's Commencement Day May 7.

The Coach's Cornar
BY KEN JOHNSON
Learning to Accept the Umpire's Mistake
Pete Rose gets a thirty-day suspension for pushing Umpire
Dave Pal lone for "one of the worst manager-umpire disputes
in recent memory." according to National League President.
Hart Giamatli.
The fans showered the field with all kinds of debris forcing
Pal lone to run for shelter with four outs remaining in the
game. The fact that the umpire had to flee for his own safety is
cause enough for Rose to be suspended. The "Learning Law of
Effect" certainly applies hem. The results of Pete Ruse
getting upset over the umpire's mistake is a costly mistake on
Pete's part. But the sad part of R se's mistake is that it was
just a flair of temper taking place so rapidly that it was simply
uncontrolable. as fits of rage are hncontrulable if they get too
hot Mclnroe, the tennis player had these temper fits for years
and now finally is admitting he was all wtong. Tempers are a
normal reaction in most normal people but must be controlled
in people in Rose's position who must continously face
umpires mistakes. The same for Mclnroe, he must accept the
mistakes of referrees and linesman as a part of the game when
subjective opinion by human beings must be used. Self-contnrl
in "trying .situations," is a must in all sports. This is one of the
main objectives and that is to develop*- a good attitude towards *
your fellow mankind.
