I Published Each Thursday Since January 18,1973 Carolina Indian Voice j I Pembroke, NC Robeson County "Building communicative bridges in a tri-racial setting99 inMCorjF Merry Christmas PSU Chancellor Supports Lancl^?^^ Acquisition For Golf Course Chancellor Joseph Oxendine of Pembroke State University explained to the PSU Board of Trustees at their regular quarterly meeting Friday why he " is supporting a proposal by a committee appointed by the State Legislature to purchase property for development of a golf course" adja cent to land originally designated for a N.C. Indian Cultural Center near Pembroke. "That committee has recom mended to the state legislature that money be appropriated for the pur chase of property continuous with the Indian Cultural Center for build ing a golf course which would be under the auspices of Pembroke State University," said the chancellor. "1 have told the committee 1 am in support of this as long as it does not take money away from the Univer sity for other purposes," said Oxendine. The chancellor mentioned in par ticular that PSUneeds funds for capi tal improvements such as a future administration building and also money fix property acquisition adja cent to the University. Oxendine emphasized that he is interested "in the University's being a catalyst for resolving an unresolved problem, of ? serving as a facilitator of change, of breaking die logjam which presently exists". He added, "I'm interested in get ting the golfers out of there and going with the Indian Cultural Cen ter, which has fantastic potential for this community and region of the state in building pride and economic development. But this acquisition cannot be a financial burden for PSU as far as our own campus needs are concerned.'' At the present time a golf course is located on the Indian Cultural Center property, preventing the implementation of the long-planned development of the center, which included the present golf course prop erty. Oxendine is a member of the Indian Cultural Center's Board of Director. The PSU chancellor also asked the trustees to support a new bond issue effort planned for the UNC system in *93 . He noted that whereas during the past year, the UNC sys tem and the state community col leges put together one bond issue request of S397 million, which was shelved, each will be doing its own bond request separately in *93. The UNC system will be presenting its own package, said Oxendine. "We . are going to give it our best shot," he promised. "You are going to be hearing a lot about it." He said Bob Scott, president of the state's community college sys tem, and Bob Etberidge, state super intendent of public schools, would also be presenting their own pack ages. Because of the lack of funds for capital improvements, Oxendine warned, "If something isn't done soon, a lot of buildings are going to be foiling down." In another fund-rais ing effort, the PSU chancellor in formed the trustees he would be re turning to Washington, D.C., early in '93 to gain new support for PSU's planned conference center for eco nomic development (for which pre liminary planning has already been done). "I have written to Sen. Lauch Faircloth about the need for this cen ter to facilitate economic develop ment in this region. We need to make another trip to Washington. Sen. Terry Sanford was very sup portive of this, but the sources we sought earlier did not pan out." Oxendine said he woukl saah paople to help him in this effort. At the outset of the trustee meeting, Oxendine surprised everyone by in troducing the new PSU athletic mas cot?which is a student dressed in a Red-Tailed Hawk costume. This special Hawk was chosen because it is indigenous to this area and repre sents such characteristics as cour age, beauty, grace, strength and ex traordinary eyesight-characteris tics that Oxendine says P$U admires in its athletic teams. The hawk hugged the chancellor and shook hands with the trustees. As the chancellor has let efforts to design as new school logo, athletic logo, and athletic mascot, he intro duced plans preliminary drawings to the trustees to redesign the University's school seal. These ef forts, chaired by Paul Van Zandt, chair of the PSU Art Department, will be finalized in the next few months, said Oxendine. The trustees also approved the recommendation of a PSU commit tee to name the streets of PSU by such names as: Founders Drive, Fac ulty Row, Braves Way, University Drive, Alumni Lane, and Residen tial Court. Also approved by the trustees was a proposed PSU sum mer work schedule from May 10 to Aug. 13 which would permit PSU employees to be off at 11.30 am on Fridays. To do so, they would report to work daily at 7:30 a.m. and have a 30-minute lunch break. The pro posal must still be apgapved by the State Personnel Office. Neil Hawk, PSU vice chancellor for business affairs who presented the new work schedule proposal, said the new te vised schedule would (1) be an energy saver because of the buildings shut down and conserving air conditioning costs, etc., and (2) would be a morale booster for em ployees with extra hours fx long weekends. At the outset of the trustee meet ing, a special moment of remem brance was held in honor of Janie MaynorLocklear, former PSU trustee who died Dec.l. Trustee Rosa W infree of Charlotte, who requested this observance, spoke of Locklear's leading the "Save Ok) Main" move ment. "This special remembrance is for who she was and what she stood for," said Winfree 1992 Festival of Ttees Raised Record Amount For Hospice 1 "Thi? was our best Festival ever!" Said Aim McLean, SGH director of marketing and coordinator of Festi val of Trees. "Not only were the trees beautiful, but so fir we have raised over S28,000~an all time tagb-for Hospice of Robeson We are pushing to get as fclose to the S30.000 mark as possible " "Caring at Christmas", Hospice of Robeson's seventh annual Festi val of Trees was held December 6 9 at the SGH Life-styles Fitness Center. Twenty-six lavishly deco rated Christinas Trees sponsored by local businesses and individuals and decorated by garden clubs and civic groups were on display for the pub Judi Lund Person, executive di rector of Hospice ofNortfa Carolina, spake at the Festival's pre view party on Dec. 5 for sponsors and invited guests. She praised local Hoqiice supporters for their dedication and described Hospice efforts through out the state in meeting the needs of terminally ill patients snd their femi lies. Before cutting the ribbon to view the Festival's trees. Mrs. McLean dedicated the 1992 Festi val to the memory of Mary Aose Hiscott, the late wife of SGH Presi dent Donald Hiscott. Mrs Hiscott, wbo had been direc tor of medical records at SGH from 1967 until 1971, died suddenly on December 3 "Mary Anne believed strongly in Hospice and was an avid supporter of Festival of Traes. She helped many years decorating a tree and even this year, some of the crafts for sale were donated by her months ago," Mrs. McLean said. "I feel that her spirit is certainly with us here at this party and will be with us through out this Festival and all upcoming Festivals." Throughout the month of Decem ber, people many continue to partici pate in Festival of Trees by contrib uting to the Tree of Honor which is locate at Biggs Path Mall this year for the first time. This live, 12-foot Fiwar fir was donated by Keith Tay lor of Greenstate Enterprises. Gifts in honor or memory of loved ooes decorate the tree with red. silver, and gold, ribbon-adorned doves. A gift of $5449 will place a red dove oa the Tree; for $50-599, a silver dove; and $100 or more, a golden dove "We are pleased by the added exposure the Tree of Honor has received at the Mall," said Mrs. McLean. "Donations to the Tree are up substantially from last year " The drawing for a quilt, hand made by Ms. Ruby Britt of Bladen County, was held during the Festival's closing hour. This is the second quilt Ms. Britt had made and donated to the Festival. It was designed in the double wed-' ding band pattern and sewn in ookvs of pink, rose, light blue, and navy on a cream background. Tamers Price, wife of ophthalmologist Dr. Kent Price, held the winning ticket. Funds from Festival of Trees are used throughout the year to provide ser vices for patients who could not af ford them otherwise, according to Miriam Edwards, director of Health "We try to spread out these monies set aside for patient services over the entire year. Our first priority is to those Hospice patients who are medi cally indigent, and secondly to those who are covered by programs but need services or equipment over and beyond what these payors will pro vide," said Nfrs. Edwards. "This could include pain medication, a bed. a walker, or even oxygen." In addition to Festival of Trees.

SayyouratdRln The Hope For The New Year Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the bouse Not a creature was praying, not one in the house. Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care In hopes that Jesus would not come there. The children were dressing to crawl into bed Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head. And Mom in her rocker with the baby on her lap Was watching the Late Show while 1 took a nap. , When out of the East, there arose such a clatter 1 sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash v. Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash!! When what to my wondering eyes should appear But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here. With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray I knew in a moment this must be THE DAY!! The light of His face made me cover my head It was Jesus, returning just like He said. And though 1 possessed worldly wisdom and wealth, I cried when 1 saw Him in spite of myself. In the Book of Life which He held in His hand Was written the name of every saved man. He spoke not a word as He searched for my name. When He said "It is not here." my head hung in shame. The people whose names had been written with love He gathered to take to His Father above. With those who were ready He rose without a sound While all the rest were left standing around. f I foil to my knees, but it was too late' J?/ I had waited too long and thus sealed my fate. fjcti i 1 stood and I cried as they rose out of sight; f.A Oh, if only we had been ready this promised night. In the words of this poem the meaning is clear Jesus is coming and soon will be here. He is the Good Shepherd,. God's only SON Savior of the world, the everlasting one. There's only one life and when comes the last call. Well find that the BIBLE was true after all!!!
