WHAT NEXT??? In 1982 a referendum was held in North Carolina. Hie voters overwhelmingly defeated a proposal to change the terms of our state legislators from two to four year terms. Well, seven years later, this bad idea has resurfaced. We feel the voters should again reject this proposal. Our legislature is rapidly moving away from the "citizen-representative" towards the full-time professio nal. In our opinion this creates less contact with and accountability to the voting public. As several legislators have observed, 'if current members have a problem with the term of service, there is at least forty or fifty people willing and able to step into each vacancy.' Let's keep the two year term for our state legislators. The system is working for us. so let's leave it alone! If it's not working for certain legislators, perhaps they should leave. Since its announcement, the University of Utah has been the center of attention. We are referring to the , claim, by Utah researchers, of energy production through cold fusion. Many universities arour.d the country and several government laboratories havt attempted to duplicate the Utah experiment. Thus far. none have been successful. Some in the scientific community are calling the Utah claim: cow-fusion! The big controversy over the right of individuals to bear arms seems a little bit silly to us. With the advent of rapid firing weapons such as the AK-47 and the MAC-10. it seems some gun enthusiasts feel they have the constitutional right to own such weapons of mass destruction. Look at the Second Amendment to the Constitution: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Many individuals, especially the NRA-types, believe the above gives them the unconditional right to possess guns. How naive can these individuals be! One only needs to look at the First Amendment to the Constitution which guarantees, among other things, the right of free speech. No one claims the unconditional or unregulated right of free speech! Even freedom of speech has its limits. For example, in one court case it was effectively pointed out and painfully obvious that the right of free speech has limits after a justice stated that no one has the right to shout, "fire" in a crowded theater. The same applies to our right to bear arms. If free speech can be regulated, even in those cases where it does not physically do harm (ex. bumper stickers, books, movies...), then surely weapons such as the AK-47 can ve be regulated when there is such potential for mass destruction. The rights of an individual stop where they infringe or endanger the rights of others. The ownership of such rapid firing weapons is not guaranteed by the Constitution. The regulation of such weapons as the AK-47 is not only right and proper, it is a must! ???????????????????????????????????????em******** There is some talk of Rev. Jesse Jackson running for mayor of Washington, D.C. The nation's capitol needs some dynamic leadership to combat the crime and drugs we constantly read about The challenge would provide Rev. Jackson with a dramatic spotlight to, once and for all, demonstrate to the American people that he can get things done -he can make things happen. We hope Rev. Jackson will seriously consider running for mayor of Washington, D.C. We believe he is the right man for the enormous job! What is "innovation"? Webster defines it as 'a new idea, method or device; to introduce as or as if new.' We were somewhat surprised at the suggestion that the selection of Dr. Betty L Siegel to be Pembroke State University's commencement speaker was "innovative." Somehow the press release made it seem that Dr. Givens was striking out into territories unknown- going through vast uncharted waters, with his selection of a woman. While Givens' selection might have been innovative in terms of his tenure, many have recognized and pondered the significance of the lack of female leadership at PSU. The big display over this tokenism somehow seems twisted and self-serving. In our opinion, the press release gives too much credit for something that could and should have been done long ago. Rather than trying to claim some type of credit, one should have been begging our pardon for the ten year oversight It's almost like saying Nixon was innovative when he hugged Sammy Davis, Jr. Who knows, perhaps Givens' motivation was in the same spirit as Richard Nixon's- GREAT PRESS?!

THE READERS" J FORUM J Reader Challenges Rev. Jerry Lowry to attend meeting To the Editor; This is in response to a recent letter to the editor from Rev. Jerry Lowry. He suggested that the Robeson County needed 30 minutes of prayer. He challenged the Human Relations Commission to establish a time and place for the "prayer meeting."! I fully agree with Rev. Jerry Lowry that prayer will greatly benefit the county, but as James 2:17 says: "Even so faith, if it hath not works is dead, being alone." I firmly beleive in prayer and I also believe that Robeson County needs a plan of action to over come the inequities or problems within county government When David faced Goliath, David had faith that God would keep him safe, but he also had a plan of action. I urge Rev. Lowry and all who are concerned about the future of our county to be present on May 30th at Prospect School at 7 p.m. At that time some real problems will be presented to the Robeson County Human Relations and Unity Commission.
