Charlie Gaddy Speaks
to PSU Graduates
Charlie Gaddy, who retires July
1 as news anchor and senior editor of
Raleigh's WRAL-TW, praised
Pembroke State University's
Gaddy said he draws inspiration
from the fact "that there has never
been a racial incident on this
campus." whose 3. OOO-plua students
are made up of "62 percent white.
24 percent American Indians and 12
percent African Americans"
He asked. "What is it of most
value that you will cany from this
place? I believe it to be the
humanness you have found here, the
respect for each other that is nurtured
on this campus While the history of
this University continues to be
written,, its commitment to and
practice of civility have already been
well documented "
In speaking of how America can
take a lesson from PSU. Gaddy
pointed out. "There is some recent
evidence that students on some of
the nation's campuses are re
segregating--thai the students divide
themselves racially in the dining
halls. Let us not drift into suspicion
and distnist You here a Pembroke
State have learned to let diversity as
Americans enrich us-not divide us "
Gaddy said the people of this
state and the UNC system "are
justifiably proud of your record of
academic excellence, the diversity
of your curriculum, and your
outstanding Master's program "
Gaddy, a native of Biscoe. was
presented an honorary doctor of
human letters degree by PSU and
was cited as "North Carolina's
foremost broadcast journalist." He
described being the graduation
speaker at PSU and receiving the
honorary doctorate as "one of the
greatest moments of life "
Also presented an honorary
doctor of science was Dr Earl C
Lowry. a native of Pembroke who
served in Europe during the World
War II and attained the rank of
colonel as a U.S. Army surgeon
Now a resident of Des Moines, Iowa.
Lowry provided medical attention
to some of the great names of World
War II. including President Franklin
D Roosevelt. Gen. Dwight D
Eisenhower, and Gen. George
Patton
in his remarks as speaker for the
occasion, Gaddy spoke of how the
every cornier. What will it take to
change television?" he asked. "The
off button, " he said with resolve
He emphasized that whatever
people are watching, whether it be a
newscast or a soap opera, ts recorded
by the industry as a yes vote
"Hollywood producers and news
consultants are not going to change
anything as long as you are watching
They may give it lip service, but,
believe me. they won't change
- anything imtil they are financially
injured by the off button "
Gaddy also encouraged the
graduates to vote, noting that only
14 percent of the voters turned out in
the recent primary in Wake County
He compared this with the South
Africans who walked for hours and
stood in lines sometimes a mile long
"in order to exercise the privilege of
marking a ballot "
Gaddy said that he recommends
to the graduates "community
service," adding. "You can never
do anything for someone else that
does not come back to you tenfold.''
The commencement also saw
the presentation of three Adolph L. |
Dial Endowed PSU Faculty Awards,
each worth SI.000. to Dr. Kathryn
Riieigh. professor in the Psychology
Department, for teaching, to Paul
Van Zandt. chair of the Art
Department, for scholarship/creative
work; and to Dr Ray Pennington,
athletic director and professor in the
Department of Health. Physical
Education, and Recreation, for
community service
Greetings to the graduates were
voiced by Jack P Jordan, a member
of the UNC Board of Governors; Dr.
Roy Carroll, vice president for
planning of the UNC General
Administration; and Joe Huffman of
Raeford, president of the PSU
Student Government Association.
The record $31 graduates
included 457 receiving
undergraduate degrees and 74
receiving graduate degrees
