Chancellor Givens. who is on the board of the Indian Cultural Center near Pembroke, said he had discussed with members of that board and others the need for a "limited access road" to Pembroke. "Hut road would clear (by bridge) the railroad track, giving us access to Interstate 95 and U.S. 74," said Givens. adding, "It would be tragic now if we had a fire, and the railroad blocked aid to us." GIVENS COMMENTS ON ROLE OF UNIVERSITY IN SOCIAL REFORM As in his remarks at the final general faculty meeting of they year, Chancellor Givens repeated his feelings about the University's role in social reform to the Trustees, saying: "Hie year has raised some interesting and provocative questions as to the function of a University, especially relating to the University's role in social reform. I hope that discontent within our society never causes us to weaken or distort our pursuit of truth, understanding and our creative and critical search for solutions to social problems. "I have said on numerous occasions that no institution means more to the area it serves than does Pembroke State. I mean this. It is meant to refer not only to our mission to transmit knowledge and skills, but to our leadership in promoting the use of reason in solving problems, whether they are problems of the person or problems of society." Givens said the events of this year "should make us even more resolute in our beliefs in open and free communication and the pursuit of 'the true, the beautiful and the good.'"

Forethought is funeral planning... before the need arises I'm not saying I agree with all their choices, but I think it's more important that the choices be theirs. At least this way there's no doubt because they planned it with Forethought funeral planning and paid for it with the Forethought life insurance policy designed and approved specifically for Forethought. And, because they're both between 40 and 90 years old, they couldn't be turned down for any reason. Now there won't be any confusion or rush when the time comes.
