Farm Items
W. S. Young & Freddie O'Neal
County Agricultural Agents
The harvest season is underway lor
most of the crops that we produce in
this area. It is most important that
the harvesting equipment be
operating according to the
manufacturer's instructions. If it is
not ? then producers will be leaving
income in the field. This loss is
mostly the profit from the particular
crop. With the prices fairly high on
these crops it doesn't take but a few
bushels loss to add up to a large
amount of income. So before
starting, get your equipment
regulated so you can save the total
amount that you produced.

Voter Aid Needed
In Hoke County?
How will Hoke County be
affected, if at all, by the 1975
amendment to the Voting Rights
Act, requiring communities to adjust
their election procedures, under
certain circumstances, to provide
special assistance to minority voters'.'
To what extent have the changes
in the immigration law, made in
1965, brought this situation to the
fore?
The revisions, which eliminated
the existing immigration quotas, led
to a record intlow of foreign-born
into this country. Although most of
the newcomers have become
sufficiently familiar with the English
language to vote intelligently, some
have not.
They arc to be assisted under the
new regulations, which come into
play where more than five percent of
the voting age population are
members of a single language
minority, where less than half the
citizens of voting age cast ballots in
the 1972 Presidential election and
where the illiteracy rate is more than
4.6 percent.
The special assistance, specified by
the Justice Department, includes
furnishing hi-lingual election
materials and special monitors at
polling places.
In Hoke County, according to the
latest Census Bureau statistics. 0.1
percent of the population is
foreign-born.
This compares widi 4.9 percent in
tire United Stales as a whole and
with 0.6 percent in the Stale of
North Carolina.
Conversely, the great bulk of the
local population, 99.5 percent of it.
consists of native-born Americans
with a history that goes back three
generations or more in this country.
The Census Bureau and the Justice
Department have released the names,
to date, of localities in several states
where the special help to minorities
and illiterates will have to be
supplied. Determinations are being
made as to the remaining states.
They will be announced later.
The figures show that the
illiteracty rate in the local area,
defined as the percentage of the
adult population with less than five
years of schooling, is relatively low.
Some 14.6 percent tall within that
classification.
Mail Rates
Going Up
The U.S. Postal Service announced
temporary postal rates, including 13
cents tor a first class letter, will
become effective Dec. 28 in tire
event new permanent rates have not
been recommended b> the Postal
Rate Commission by that time.
The Postal Service said the major
difference in the temporary rates, in
comparison with the rate proposal
filed Sept. 18 with the Postal Rate
Commission, will be in the price of a
postal card. The temporary rate for a
postal card will be nine cents. In its
Sept. 18 proposal, the Postal Service
asked for a 10-cent postal
card.However, the Postal Service
cannot raise rates on a temporary
basis by more than one-third of the
present 7-cent permanent rate.
Major rate changes which will
affect the general public are first
class, from 10 to 13 cents for the
first ounce and from nine to 11 cents
for each additional ounce of a letter,
from seven to nine cents for a postal
card, and from 13 to 17 cents for the
first ounce of airmail.
Parcel post rates will be increased
an average of 10 per cent.
Honor Council Chosen
For New PSU Program
PEMBROKE--A Pembroke State
University Honors Council, chosen to
provide greater recognition and
enrichment to outstanding PSU
students, has been selected by
Chancellor English E. Jones.
The Honors Council will be
chaired by Dr. Richard C. Pisano,
dean of the PSU faculty. It includes
five faculty members hand-picked by
the Chancellor.
They are Dr. John Chay, professor
of history and chairman of the
History Department; Dr. Jose
D'Arruda, associate professor of
physical science; Dr. Robert Geist
III, assistant professor of
mathematics; Dr. Thomas J. Leach,
assistant professor of communicative
arts; and Dr. Kathryn K. Rileigh,
associate professor of psychology
and chairperson of the Psychology
Department.
Dr. Pisano said the Honors Council
program, which will begin in the
spring semester, is expected to be a
forerunner of a Phi Beta Kappa
' !. 'The
chapter on the PSU campus,
first question that Phi Beta Kappa's
national office asks is: 'Do you have
an honors program on campus?' With
this new program, we do," said Dr.
Pisano.
On Sept. 18, Pembroke State
University was accepted as a member
of the National Collegiate Honors
Council. Chancellor Jones described
this "as an important step forward in
our academic community."
To be a part of the PSU honors
program, a student must have
achieved true excellence. The Honors
Council is aiming toward a figure of
no more than 10 students in the
incoming freshman class with criteria
being a college board SAT
(Scholastic Aptitude Test) score of
over 1100 and at least an A-average.
Ten sophomores will be chosen,
based on a 3.S average in the
individual's major field and an overall
3.0 average. Each sophomore must
complete an honors thesis or
significant project and be
recommended by a professor in his
major area of concentration.
No more than ten transfer
students will be accepted, based on
transcripts of their previous college
work, college board SAT and two
letters of recommendation by
professors of their last institution.
Along with outstanding grades,
honors program students entering
PSU as freshmen must write as
seniors a thesis, the prospectus of
which must be approved by the
council beforehand, and must defend
that thesis in an oral examination
before the Honors Council. The
Honors Council and the major
professor will evaluate the thesis'or
activity.
The rewards for those completing
the program at graduation include
the designation on their records and
transcripts of that person
"Graduating With Honors In His
Major Field." These will be
University Honors, aside from
strictly grade honors such as summa
cum laude, magna cum laude or cum
laude.
Dr. Pisano says it is of tremendous
benefit for outstanding students to
be a part of this program because "it
will help them greatly in preparing
for graduate school." He added:
"The program offers intellectual
opportunities beyond the scope
generally found in the lecture hall. It
provides greater curriculum
flexibility and the ability to strike
out on one's own in intellectual
pursuits.
The Honors Council not only
identifies and invites outstanding
high school students to enter the
program. it receives
recommendations from faculty
members on behalf of outstanding
PSU students. It serves as acadenfic
advisors to Honors student and
reviews the academic standing of all.
honors students each semester.
A special PSU committee ha#
worked since last February on this
honors program, visiting and
studying honors programs at:
UNC-Ashevillc, Appalachian State
University, U NC-Charlotte,
UNC-Chapel Hill, Davidson College,
East Carolina University, and
UNC-Grccnsboro plus the University
of Georgia, Mississippi College,
Carson-Newman College and
Mississippi State University. In
addition to Dr. Pisano, Dr. Chay and
Dr. D'Arruda, that committe
included Dr. Rhoda Collins, associate
professor of education; Dr. Barry
Childers, associate professor or
psychology; and Denise Butler, a
Dean's list student from Lumberton.
Universities from which the
Honors Council members earned
their doctorates are: Dr. Pisano,
Columbia University; Dr. Chay,
University of Michigan; Dr.
D'Arruda, University of Delaware;
Dr. Geist, University of Notre Dame;
Dr. Leach, UNC-Chapel Hill; and Dr.
Rileigh, Vanderbilt Univeraty.
