J "THE KEY TO PROGRESS" IS TRANSFERRED FROM I THE HONORABLE FRANCES MCARTHUR CUMMINGS TO I SENATOR DAVID WEINSTEIN FOR "UNC-PEMBROKE" ff To The Editor: I ff As the Sunlight shines upon the Earth and the Moonlight guides the travelers | ff on dark and lonely roads during the Night, I am overwhelmed with Joy in my | J Heart. _ I \ I read with much interest in the Carolina Indian Voice (8-28-97) of the three ^ K objectives Senator David Weinstein had for Pembroke State University: I J 1) Name Change; 2) A Dormitory; and 3) The placement of a UNC-P repre- ^ m sentative on the University of NC Board of Governors. ^ ff TRUE FACTS: State Senator David Weinstein's #1 Objective for PSU Name ff Change to UNC-P "Was Fulfilled" by The Honorable Frances McArthur ff Cummings' House Bill 1072 which was Ratified June 21, 1996. Pembroke State University's Name Change to University of NC at Pembroke ff (UNC-P) is recorded in the General Statue Chapter 0603. This 'Kind Deed' ff rendered by Frances Cummings to have PSU's Name Change did cause much ff "Uncalled-For, Deceptive Attitudes" to be experienced during the time period ff before HB1072 was Ratified and Recorded in the Book of Laws 1996. 1 You will be surprised to know who wore the "Coats of Deception." ff-* Frances Cummings is known for her "Loyalty" to Higher Education. ff Therefore, when requests were made by Adolph Dial (deceased), UNC-P ff Chancellor Joseph Oxendine, and many others to assist to have the PSU Name ff Changed, Frances Cummings could not have refused to grant their Heart's ff Desire. 1 The Honorable Frances McArthur Cummings was the ONLY Legislator from 1 Robeson County who could have had the Pembroke State University's.name J \ changed and recorded in the Book of Laws (General Statues) during 1996. ff Inspite of 'whomever' desired the name to be changed to UNC-P, the new ff name had to become Law by the 'knowledge' of a Legislator. I REMEMBER ALWAYS MY FRIENDS: Senator David Parnell, Senatorff Elect David Weinstein, and Rep. Ronnie Sutton (whose House District 85 I includes PSU location) accompanied Chancellor Oxendine by the "Invitation" I of The Honorable Frances McArthur Cummings to the Legislative Office I Building to "Witness" the 'seed-planting' of House Bill 1072, which was I discussed and subsequently approved in the Presence of the Joint Legislative I Education Oversight Committee on which Frances Cummings was a member/ 1 "Get Us Give Honor" to Whom "Honor is Due." | J QUESTION: Who will it be? ANSWER: Frances McArthur Cummings. ff Frances Cummings made it possible for Pembroke State University's name > ff change to become Law 1996. j n QUESTION: Did Former Senator David Parnell or Rep. Sutton make any ^ I effort for the Name Change for PSU before The Honorable Frances McArthur ff Cummings made the "First Legislative" Step forward to accomplish the name ff change? jL f ANSWER: "NO.'; * 1 Senator David Weinstein, after having his #1 desire for PSU accomplished by ff The Honorable Frances McArthur Cummings, pursued his #2 Objective and 1 Succeeded which was to have a long, overdue dormitory for the University of ff NC at Pembroke. David Weinstein should be 'uplifted' on the shoulders of f| ff men while VOICES sing and playing their harps?singing "Halllelujah." '< ff Senator David Weinstein, I am sure, will be 'Successful' to have his #3 Plan 11 I fulfilled for UNC-P. i J : > I ff I read in the Fayetteville Times dated 8-31-97, Sen. David Weinstein said, ff "I've learned that I will never touch another Alcoholic Bill." ff I now know the 'Reason I Love' Our Senator David Weinstein. He realized ff that the 'Liquor Bill' caused many Christians to wonder about his 'Moral and ff Christian' Values. Therefore, David is saying he will never touch another 1 Alcoholic Bill again. \ We know the Gospel Song entitled "The Things I Use To Do, I'll Do Them No I More, It's A Great Change Since I Was Born." Let us 'All' Praise Almighty } God for Our Beloved Sen. David Weinstein's Statement in the Fayetteville ff Observer-Times. "I Love You, David." 1 Rev. Roy Brewer's (Cornerstone Assembly of God) labor against the "Liquor ff Bill" Was Not in Vain. He has "Touched" David Weinstein's Heart. ff I am Confident that Robeson County will be having a Prosperous Future from ff the Sincere Commitment of Sen. David Weinstein. ff My Conclusion: I am pleased to be of the knowledge that Sen. David 1 Weinstein gained SIMillion for the Southeastern Agriculture Center, m 1992: Southeastern Farmers Market Idea (Agriculture Center) was born with District 87 "Think-Tank" Legislative Agenda. 1993: The Honorable Frances McArthur Cummings wrote Budget ff Proposal for Farmers Market, ff 1993-94: Six Million Dollars (S6.3M) Funding was Approved. ff It appears to me, Frances M. Cummings "Commenced an Idea" and ff Senator David Weinstein continues to have the Idea "Set in Active Motion." ff Peace Be Unto You. AMEN. ff ?ff J Yvonne Maria Leow ) A The Word on Washington Congressman Mike Mclntyre y i During August, scnools, children and parents are gearing up for a new season for educational success. Nearly two million children will enter public schools across North Carolina In addition, about 78,000 children will enter our private schools, and 15,000 more children will begin - or continue their education in the home. We should be pleased that more children than ever before are getting a good education in our schools and homes. With the new school year comes the opportunity to renew our commitment to successful schools. In my first speech to the House of Representatives in Washington, I called for a new spirit of working together Ilo improve education. As someone ' who has been a volunteer in the public schools for the last 17 years, I have been placing a special emphasis on education as your Congressman. One of the most important ways we can involve ourselves in our community is by making a commitment to education. l For too long folks in Washington | have only talked about improving t education. It is time to put that talk f into action. In both North Carolina t and in Washington I have called for ' a renewed emphasis on educational | reform that includes the parents, teachers, students and others in the I community. 1 remember as a student when a doctor, lawyer or bosincss) man would come and talk to my class and the positive impact that ' made upon me. I learned that education was more than schools and ' books. The best sort of education ?oI cuses on responsibility for one's future and gives us the tools we need | for that future. As co-chairman of the Democrat| ic Coalition Education Task Force, I am exploring ways to promote eduI cation reform that works. In fact, on , Nov. 3,,I will be hosting an education forum to focus on "Successful | Schools for the 21st Century." Parents, teachers and school adminisI trators as well as federal, state and l local leaders will gather in Wilmingr ton to discuss our commitment to L education, our need for school inr frastruclure improvement, and the role technology will play in shaping the future of education in No. .h Carf. olina. Please contact my office if you would like to attend. As a state and a nation, we need to focus on our commitment to all levels of schooling, from kindergarten to community colleges and universities. It is time to explore how we can support our children, our teachers, and our schools. Construction is one of the best ways we can support our local public schools. How can we expect the next century's leaders, workers and family members to learn in school buildings that are unsafe or inadequate? We need to focus on building and repairing our schools for a belter and safer future. In the Congress, I am the primary co-sponsor of a bill that would establish Slate Infrastructure Banks for schools systems. School ^systems could borrow money at very reasonable rates for school infrastructure improvements. The federal government would help get the bank going, the states would run it, but the benefits would go to the local schools. We need more plans like the State Infrastructure - / Bank il we are lo improve the quality of education in this nation. Computers, we are told, are the wave of the future. But they are here now. North Carolinians, whether in the first grade or the first year of graduate school, must be able lo use technology seamlessly with their studies and jobs. One of my top priorities in representing the Seventh District of North Carolina is to ensure that every school has the latest technology in their classrooms. To accomplish this important goal, we cannot look to government alone to provide support; rather, we need to^1 encourage partnerships and commu-g njty involvement. Having two sons in the publics schools, I am deeply committed to ? strengthening our schools. We all j have a stake in guaranteeing the best | possible schools in every neighbor- 5 hood, in every community, and ? throughout our country. That is why i I am co-sponsoring the Computer |: Donation Incentive Act, which!; amends the IRS code to give alii! companies the enhanced tax deduc-g lion when donating computers to the public schools. Those of us in Congress must not!; forget that schools belong to their ; communities ? not to the federal ; government. However I believe thai | Congress can help by passing these initiatives. In conclusion, it is appropriate j i for us to consider why we are com- ; milted to education. That is, what! makes education so important to j America? Education helps us gel a j job. It helps us raise a family. It j helps us lo become better leaden. !j All these things are important. But it | also frees us from oppression and! tyranny. Education allows its tog; shape our lives in positive ways.!; That is what educating ourselvesl and our children is all about.
