Change (s Good

With the coniin^; of the "new millennium, " nuny yearbooks produced thi.s year will probably use the milleniiiutn as a theme. While a new millennium does only happen every thousand yan, YZK will be so terribly overused and stale by the time this bookgoes to print that the 2000 Indianhead will focui on a iomewhit different, althou^TJi related, theme: the current and future advancemeiit of our campus in all areas, includin^^rowth and technolo^_y.

Since the universitjy's start in 1887 as a school for Native Amerians, with only one teacher 3.nd fifteen students and one wooden building, a lot has changed. Back then the school offered only a curriculum in elementary and secondary education. Up until 1953 Pembroke was the only state supported tour-year college for Native Aniericans in the nation. Pembroke officially gained university status in 1969 and his since built a reputation throughout the Eastern United 5tates as a school offerinv; a top quality education.

l€The black and white photos on the right depict scenes from the University's past. In the 1970s, Old Main still bore the name Pembroke State University. In the 1980s, computers were just beginning to be used in some classes; Dr. Elizabeth Kuo uses one to instruct Grace Britt in map-making in a geography class in 1984. A few years later, an older building has been demolished as construicion begins on the Chavis University Center, with the Givens Performing Arts Center visible in the background. A major milestone occurred in 1997, when PSU became The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

S€The color photos above depict scenes from the University's present. In October 1999, a bulldozer carries building materials for the new residence hall under construction behind the Education Center. A student worl(s on an assignment in the computer lab in the Dial Building. As in the other computer labs across campus, this one offers Internet access and a wide range of applications software— a far cry from the stand-alone PCs with dual 5.5 inch floppy drives and 64K RAM that were available ten years before. Old Main remains a symbol of our heritage, but it now bears the name of The University of North Carolina at Pembrolce. One of the newest additions to the campus, dedicated in the spring of 1999, is "The Rocl<" with its bronze sculpture of the red-tailed hawk mascot, its wings spread wide in flight, ready for whatever the future may bring.

May 1999 Graduation

Just the Beginning

On May 15, 1999, over 3,000 friends and family attended tlie commencenient ceremony to watcii 513 graduates receive tlieir degrees. Not only were there 3000 people watching in the Jones Health & I'll Building, but also 200 more watched by closed circuit TV in the GPAC, Ceremonies were also broadcast over the Internet. Congressman Mike Mclntyre was invited to deliver the commencement address. He left the graduates with a word of advice:"! urge you to use this time to renew your efforts and energy in making this world a better place.'This was Chancellor Oxendines last commencement before he retired on June 30. It was an emotional time

for him, I feel like I am graduating with you,' he said. He also left the graduates with something to think about: You may have taken your last written test, but you will continue to be tested by people more important than your professors — next week, next year 25 years from now and 50 years from now."

The class of 1999 will be remembered for its lasts',' graduating SGA President Ben Gersh told his classmates. "This is the last class of the millennium, the last class to enter Pembroke State University and Chancellor Oxendines last graduating class " These 'lasts" helped make the 1999 graduation a very spirited occasion and yet a wonderful grand finale for four years of work,

Ready to Work

May 15, 1999, was a day these graduates will never forget. This day brought so many emotions for the graduates and their friends and family. For many of the graduates, all they could do was smile. With the strong spirit of diversity throughout the campus, there was also diversity portrayed at the commencement ceremony not just in race or etlinic backgrounds, but also age.

Four years ago, they came to Pembroke from all walks of life, some straight from high school, while others from homes and careers. But all with the same goal in mind, of getting a degree, whether their first, second or more. For graduates tlie joy of receiving the diploma and realizing all that hard word wasn't in vain was the same.

The electrical charge going through the gym was evident as graduates bounded up from their seats to rush the stage when their name was called. The energy, knowledge and wisdom they got during their education prepared them to use it in tlieir careers and personal lives. Another class graduated and left campus to go into the working world and continue their lives.

At the onset of the Fall semester of 1999 everyone was preparing for or at least pondering over giving the new term a running start. Getting finances in order making those much needed textbook purchases, and last but not least moving into dormitories marked the initiation of the semester Some of us tried to get started on classroom assignments while others caught a snooze before class.

Those not so exciting were breaking awa\' from the family and home you've always known, learning to make important decisions on your own affecting your future, and tlie realization that aspects in your life were shared with more than just yourself

Because some commuters had to drop off their kids at school or daycare, they usually arrived on campus only ten minutes before class started. They then had to use that ten minutes searching for a spot to park.

Our Mecca

'he Chavis University Center was a mecca for student and faculty interaction on campus. Upstairs at the UC, many organizations and groups held their meetings or had offices there. Downstairs, students could wander into the Came Room for howling, pool or even arcade games.

When hunger struck, students had the choice between buffet at the Cafe or fast food at Berts, where tiiey could order from Taco Bell Express or Chic Fila's menu and sit down in front of the large screen TV for a while between classes. Students who were really in a rush could just grab snacks from the information booth.

The UC Lounge was used for evening movies, dinners, seminars, blood drives and other functions such as Senior Salute, Casino Night, Spring Fling, i\m\ information fairs sponsored by volunteer groups and employers. When not otherwise occupied by groups or functions, students used the space to rela.x, st udy, watch J'V on the big screen, or even play a tune on the piano.

In the daily rush of classes, students managed to stop at the television coves aiid catch a glimpse of their favorite soap opera or sport.

Pink and Boo!

HiiIIdwoc'ii Wtisiil JusI iibdul ghosts, t^ohlins, vvilclu's iind oIIut scary tilings tlitit dll happen on a single night. This years Halloween celebration took place over the entire last week of October Students, faculty and staff who had a love ofthe ghoulish holiday had plenty of chances to celebrate it in different ways/fhcre were special showings of horror movies such as Psyclm a costume dance in the lIC, and a contest at t lie University Bookstoiv VVIien diessing u|i lor 1 lalloween this year some people chose the classic vampire, ghost or monstei, while others went forthe cuterthings such as babies, hillbillies anti those darned Dumb and Dumber girls. Yet still, some students decided to become specific characters such as Austin Powers, the International Man of Mystery, or Super Girl, Clark (Super Man) Kent's cousin Kara Zor El.

Many people got very much into the spirit of Halloween: staff members from Lunibee Hall marched down to the Bookstore costume contest on Friday morning together They got to see the photos of persons who had already shown up and make their own presence known. Guests were invited to sample cupcakes, cookies ami other refreshments supplied by the Bookstore.

Thursday night's dance was far from the usual: looking abnormal was the norm. Many students attending the dance felt that the odder the costume, the better. Such being true, Peggy Blackmon decided to become the embodiment of a larger than life pink parking ticket: she thrilled the judges of the dance to win first prize and won second at the Bookstore contest. Hattena Worriax as the Baby (iirl deckeil out all in pink won f irst prize at the Bookstore with her cuteness and charm identical to that of a newborn. So whether the costume was really scary like it came straight from a horror flick , off the set of a children's show, materialized from some comedy or superhero movie, or from the wearer's own imagination, the idea was the same. Those who looked totally different succeeiletl in ex|iressing the true meaning of Halloween. Never tiress as yourself for Halloween; that would be scary!

Winter Grads

December 15, 1999, marked a day in UNCP history the first Winter Commencement. Seniors, graduate students, and their families rejoiced in the idea that you can be recognized for graduating early, finishing late, or getting that other degree. It all boiled down to one thing— they did it!

Along with graduation came the installation of our new Chancellor, Dr Allen Meadors. UNCP welcomed him with open arms (see pages 194-5), and then the commencement got under way with greetings from Faculty Chair Dr Suellen Cabe and SGA President Phillip Bowman. Next, Dr Peter A. Wish, the 1999 UNCP winner of I he UNC Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching, spoke to graduates about their degrees being only a stepping stone.

He went on to give advice to the graduates from several previous Teaching Awards recipients. Dr Bonnie Kelley's advice was, "Learning brings joy to the spirit. It is truly a gift. Continue to use it." Dr. Kitty Rileigh pointed out to the graduates that "It's not the end, and it's not the beginning, either. You're smack dab in the middle. Make the most of it." Dr David Eliades said, 'Life is truly a wonderful adventure. Learn to laugh at whatever is ludicrous -even yourself"

Finally, there was the moment everyone had been waiting for as the first

students to graduate in the winter walked across the stage to receive their well

deserved degrees. After receiving their diplomas, the graduates got to shake the hand

of UNC President Molly Broad, and as they left the GPAC, they probably remembered

the words Dr Wish left them from the late NC State basketball coach Jim Valvano

Ice, Ice, Baby

The UNCP campus looked deserted. Residents wore sleeping in, mu\ the atmosphere outside had shifted. What in the world could have caused tliis to happen? SNOW!

The beginning of tlie spring semester brought about lazy days and snowball fights for students. They returned from Christmas break we rested and prepared to attend class and participate in various activities, like the Red Cross blood drive during the first week of the semester However they awoke on the morning of Tuesday January 18, to 24-hour coverage of the Winter Storm and the cancellation of classes.

Things were just getting back to normal when snow fell again on Tuesday, January 25, cancelling classes that day and causing late openings for the rest of that week. Iced over roads left many commuters stuck at home with nothing but time on their hands, while residents on campus pulled out their boots from the back of their closets and took in the new scenery Now you might say with all these students on campus, what did they eat? A very small array of cold entrees with no hot chocolate. All was not lost, though, because many l)raved the cold and headed out to local restaurants for hot food.

Despite the snow, Craig Karges, professional mentalist, livened up the campus with his talents on Wednesday January 26. The students present on campus packed into the University Center lounge to look on with amazement at his abilities. He guessed the correct names and phone numbers of various students and later levitated a table with the crowd cheering him on. Students showed their

support of his abilities by purchasing his CSjHeather Cameron looks on new book and requesting his autograph as Melissa Houghton (right) after the show throws a snowball.

raternities and sororities worked to establish io\alrv' and cooperation among their members. These qualities were not only found among the members but extended to the surrounding communities in the form of outreach support and service. These organizations took part in a wide varien' of programs both on and off the UNCP campus.

Alpha Kappa Alpha aimed to provide service to the community but to inform them as well. They provided goods locally to hurricane victims through soda drives and internationally by providing medical supplies to the University of Medusa in Africa. They provided students and the communit\- with information on various health issues during Health and Wellness Month.

pha Pi Omega, Delta Sigma Theta, and Gamma Ptii Omicron were just a few of the sororities to join wiiile at UNCP. From the time women students pledged until they were a full member, they were always part ot a family away from home.

The sisters of Alpha Pi Omega have been actively involved in the community. A few of their services to the community were tutoring at the Maynor house, helping clean the AISES road, working at the NASO Pow Wow, judging the Miss NASO pageant, and co-sponsoring a youth dance. The officers were Shannon Chavis (Grand Busy Bee), Tara Clark (Grand Historian), Sarah Locklear (Secretary), Andrea Locklear (President), Natasha Jacobs (Water Clan Keeper, Vice President, Chieftess), Tamra Moore (Keeper of the Spirit), Jada Locklear (Grand Keeper of the Spirit), Jamie Young (Social Chair), Sunsarae Locklear (Service Chair), Susan Warriax (Treasurer, Keeper of the Flame), Rebekah Revels (Dean of Honeycombs), Tiffany Graham-Locklear (Fire Clan Keeper), and Emily Love (Circle Scholar).

Delta Sigma Theta's Omicron Nu chapter was established on our campus on March 25, 1983. There were, however, no active members during the 1999-2000 academic year.

Brotherhood

Fraternities gave back to the community by donating to various organizations, participating in community service, mentoring students and sponsoring cultural events. Among these were.' Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, and Phi Beta Sigma.

Kappa Alpha Psi sponsored a rape prevention program to teach young men and women how to deal with and prevent rape. They also helped with the nationwide white ribbon campaign to promote rape education. In addition, they sponsoed a tutor/mentor program at the Odum Home to give the children positive role models and help with their studies. The brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi would like to acknowledge the accomplishments of their ten founders: three doctors, a dentist, a military leader, an educator with a school named in his honor, and several entrepreneurs. Members still achieve high goals, with 1 2% of Ebony magazine's 100 most influential black Americans being members of Kappa Alpha Psi.

Omega Psi Phi was not as active on our campus this year as it has been in the past. This fraternity had a tradition of supporting organizations such as the NAACP and the United Negro College Fund.

Phi Beta Sigma was busy for the 1999-2000 academic year. They raised money and participated in the March of Dimes seven- mile walk for cystic fibrosis. They also assisted in the flood relief by sponsoring a step exhibition in Moore Hall to raise canned foods for the victims. In addition, they fed a family for Thanksgiving. The brothers of Phi Beta Sigma formed a study group that met on Wednesday nights for any student in need of help. It was for any one having problems with work or needing the encouragment to study. j^^

any sororities and fraternities contributed to the educational, social and cultural events at UNCP. Among these were Phi Kappa Tau, Phi Sigma Nu, and Pi Lambda Upsilon.

Phi Kappa Tau was colonized at UNCP on October 14, 1991 and has 124 active chapters throughout the United States. The officers this year were Will Rumbold (President), Carlos Berdecia (Vice President), Thomas Grabos (Secretary), Bryan Ledford (Treasurer), Johnny McClamroch (Membership Orientation Officer), and Josh Potter (Vice President Alumni Relations). Phi Kappa Tau sponsored an Octobertest and Mardi Gras. Among the many activities they volunteered with in the community and university, the Daisies and Brownies Scout Troops in Laurinburg were a big success. Their motto is "Greek by choice. Phi Tau by God."

Phi Sigma Nu volunteered time to the town of Pembroke to clean up after the big Hurricane Floyd left North Carolina devastated. Phi Sigma Nu also tutored kids that had problems with their studies, cleaned up elderly peoples' yard twice a month, had car washes and roadside cleanups, and sponsored the First Annual Phi Nu golf tournament. Phi Sigma Nu officers were Kenny Hunt (President), Jamie Locklear (Vice President), Kevin Harris (Secretary), Jody Thomas (Treasurer), Justin Hunt (Parliamentarian), and Ryan BuUard (Dean of Pledges).

Pi Lambda Upsilon was one of the co-ed fraternities on the UNCP campus. Among their community service activities

Community service was always a key factor for many sororities and fraternities. Theta Kappa, Tri-Sigma, and Tau Kappa Epsilon were always busy with activities that contributed to the community and to the students here at UNCP.

Theta Kappa sponsored the Rape Crisis Seminars and the Amateur Apollo Night. Their community service included the NC Highway Cleanup and Ronald McDonald can tab drive. They also adopted a child at Christmas and raised money for the Humane Society. The officers were Tracy Weier (President), Luciana Hammonds (Vice President), Kelly Cecil (Secretary), and Laura Smith (Treasurer).

Tri-Sigma sponsored activities to support their national philanthropy, the Robbie Page Memorial Foundation, which provided funding to establish playrooms in hospitals.

The brothers ot Tau Kappa Epsilon took an annual spring break trip to Panama City Beach, FL, and left a lasting impression. They also went white water rafting on their annual Fall retreat. Although TKE was the largest fraternity in the country, they placed a strong emphasis on qualin' rather than quantit)'. On November 3, they had their 26th annual TKE -Fest, and on February 4, they held their annual safe sex party and distributed condoms. They also sponsored trash picks-ups and food drives and visited rest- homes. The officers were Rob Tew (President), BarryGraham (Vice President), Jarette Sampson (Treasurer), Solomon Locklear (Secretary), David Williams ^^^

Giving — that is what it means to be in a fraternity or a sorority, and the Greeks ot UNCP defined the word this year. From seminars to community service, they showed what it meant to be a friend to the people.

Theta Xi gave this year by running a haunted house in Robeson County. They helped raise over $15,000 tor the Robeson County Restitution Program. They also ran a volleyball tournament and helped with the spring semi-formal. Their officers were Kent Barefoot (President), Scott Walton (Vice President), Johnny Hartman (Secretary), and Ray Heasley (Treasurer).

Zeta Phi Beta did their part this year when they did volunteer work at Wesley Pines Retirement Home, co-sponsored a Hurricane Floyd Relief Drive and sponsored a needy family at Thanksgiving. They also adopted a child at Christmas and won first place in the Pembroke Feud (Alcohol Awareness Game). Their officers were Angela Smith (President), Bridget Crumb (Vice President), and Shannon Flournoy (Secretary).

Zeta Tau Alpha sponsored many events during the 1999-2000 year on

issues such as Risk Management, Breast Cancer Awareness, Mental Health,

Etiquette, and an interview/resume standard. As far as community service,

Zeta Tau Alpha went to a hospital and visited the children, visited resthomes

Teamwork

The combined efforts of the Student Government Association and the Campus Activities Board resulted in some great activities and entertainment this year. The biggest headUner brought to the UNCP campus was Danny Glover, who read from works by Langston Hughes and Martin Luther King, Jr., on February 7 in the GPAC.

The Student Government Association was designed to represent students and allow their opinions to be heard. The SGA helped to keep students informed of activities and other announcements through their listserve efforts. In addition to this, they held regular Senate meetings to discuss the concerns of the students.

The Campus Activities Board provided entertainment to the various students at UNCP, such as weekly movies for commuters and residents, the Halloween

dance and the Christmas Semi- formal and the Miss UNCP Pageant. CAB was very active in the Homecoming festivities and encouraged everyone to participate.

_Brave Cadets

Army ROTC was a "training ground " for selected strdents who desired to serve as commissioned officers. Cadets studied and applied the concepts of military science in order to develop and strengthen the skills needed for future endeavors. Army ROTC sought to prepare these students both mentally and physically. Mentally students were instilled with a strong sense of duty, honor, and appreciation for national and international affairs. Physically, cadets were trained through rigorous exercises to prepare them for any challenges they might face. These young men and women were taught and equipped with the elements they needed to face military challenges head-on.

The Army ROTC, under the direction of Master Sgt. Johnny Torre, could be seen at every sporting event and parade. They represented our country by presenting our state and national flags. They also supervised the drill meets of local JROTC programs and competed for Chancellor's Cup points by doing roadside cleanup once a semester.

AirForce ROTC trained and prepared selected students to become highly motivated and qualified Air Force officers, and cadets participated in a highly effective and responsive curriculum. This helped students to build a sense of personal character and responsibility towards national affairs. Cadets also received foundational knowlege about the role of the US Air Force in

national affairs. Major Felix "v-Air Force ROTC cadet Richard Alexander involved AFROTC Welton (left) is being taken to jail in a number of community by a BSU sineriff during tlie service activities throughout the Pembroke Day activities. semester.

Ethnicity

No matter what a student's ethnic background might be, there were a number of organizations at UNCP for those who wished to celebrate their own heritage or learn more about the cultures and traditions of others. One such group was the African American Student Organization, which was open to all students. The priman,' goal of AASO was to foster the idea of Black identit)', promote the true spirit of Black unit}', and insure effective participation in decision-making processes that affected the organization's members.

The most recently-formed ethnic organization on campus was Latin Sisters United, or Lis Hennanas Latinas Unidas. This organization was made up of fun-loving young ladies from manv different backgrounds who came together to better educate people about Latin culture. This year, the members volunteered time to tutor children and promote English as a second language. The organization was open to any who wanted to promote and educate people about Latin culture. The officers were Priscilla Colon (President), Darlys Garcia (Vice President), Hilca Rosario-Casado (Secretar)'), and Carolina Saldana (Treasurer,

The International Student Organization, which provided recreational activities and support for students who came to our campus from other countries to experience college life in .America, organized a number of social and fund-raising events this vear. The members also attended a reception during the Fall semester hosted by Chancellor and Mrs. Meadors at the Chancellor's residence. This year's ISO president was Sweta Patel.

The Native American Student Organization sponsored manv activities throughout the \'ear, like the NASO Pow 'Wow that is held during the fall semester every year. The main goal for NASO was to create an awareness of and concern for the Native American.

Leadership

Among the groups busy organizing and implementing services for the university this year were the Ambassadors, A.P.P.L.E. Corps members, the Peer Academic Leaders, and the Resident Assistants. The Ambassadors were an extremely dedicated group who worked with the Admissions office. Much of their time was spent promoting UNCP by giving prospective students tours of the campus and doing what was necessary to keep fellowship among those already on campus alive and eventful.

The Association of Pembroke Peer Leaders and Educators, or A.P.P.L.E. Corps, was comprised of students who believed in taking control of their lives by learning about drugs (including alcohol), physical, sexual, and emotional health. A.RP.L.E. Corps members shared their knowledge through classroom and organizational presentations on campus as well as at community programs. This year they sponsored the Pembroke Feud alcohol and drug awareness games, National Collegiate Alcohol Screening Day, and activities with the kids of Maynor Manor.

The Peer Academic Leaders (PALs) were students trained to provide academic and leadership education to freshmen during the orientation and seminar sessions. PALs were entering freshmen's tour guides to college life. PALs often helped new students move into the dorms, find their way around campus, and obtain their first classes during registration. PALs also assisted in the planning of the syllabus and course content of FRS 1 00 (Freshman Seminar).

The Resident Assistants (RAs) played an important role in dorm life for on-campus students. The RAs were available to resident students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Their purpose was

Religion was not something to forget about while attending college at UNCP. There were a number of groups that were specifically designed to allow students to worship together, as well as form friendships and participate in activities that served the communin'.

The UNCP Gospel Choir was an organization to allow students to not only worship through singing but also let others see and hear their talent.

The Baptist Student Union gathered on Tuesday nights for a "Tuesday Night Celebration" and sers'ed Commuter Lunches twice a month. The BSU members also participated in a food drive for the Hurricane Flo\d victims and

Head Of The Class

There were several ways to achieve excellence this year at the UNCP campus. Alpha Chi was the National Honor Society designed to acknowledge the many intellectually gifted students for their academic success. Inductees into this organization consisted of the top five percent of the junior class and the top ten percent of the senior class. Although its members only met once a year for the induction ceremony, many of them were also involved in other organizations.

The Chancellor's Scholars Program (CSP) was designed to recognize outstanding students and promote their intellectual growth by providing interdisciplinary educational opportunities not available to them in the general curriculum. In order to maintain or be considered for CSP, the students were required to maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA and to perform 6-8 hours of community service. To graduate in the program, Chancellor's Scholars completed a Senior Thesis/Project which they presented to an audience of interested faculty and students.

Preparation^

n the rooms of the B.A. Building, there was a selection of career-

i related organizations to join for students whose majors ranged from Criminal Justice to Social Work to Accounting. The Accounting Club was formed to provide students with more information about the accounting profession and give them a chance to know each other better.

The Campus Association of Social Workers was an organization that Social Work majors were encouraged to join as part of their regular curriculum. This group provided the students with insights on the social work profession and prepared them more in their learning.

Another organization to join in the B.A. Building was the Criminal Justice Club. The members of this organization invited speakers trom various law enforcement agencies speak to their group. Also, two of their members attended the Domestic Violence Vigil in Lumberton. This year's officers of the Criminal Justice Club were Hilca Rosario-Casado (President), Rebecca Bays (V^ice President), Aaron Carter j.

liLCharge

UNCP also had several organizations to join that had the students in charge of the organizations' activities. For example, WNCP-TV's news show was a student-run production. The students did everything from producing the 30-minute news program to running the cameras. They also provided the taping of different subjects as well as the weather. This student-produced news program was the only one in the state of North Carolina and one of three in the entire country. The anchors for the 1999-2000 year were Ken Alexander and Mavis Carter. Will Rumbold covered sports and Chris Jacobs covered the weather. The producer and director for the 1999-2000 year was Steve Carwile, assisted by Peggy Blackmon.

After years of being inactive, the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) was reactivated this year by the new chair of the Mass Communications Department, public relations professor Dr. Randy Hines. A few of PRSSA's members attended a PRSSA conference in Anaheim, California, in October. The students were given the chance to meet other Public Relations majors from campuses all over the nation and also given the chance to get their foot in the door by networking and making contacts with potential employers.

A writing center is always needed on any campus, and the writing center at UNCP, located in the Dial Building, was staffed by students volunteering their time to help other students in their writing assignments. Experienced members from last year's staff

Scientific Focus

Students interested in health and science had a number of organizations open to them at UNCP. The UNCP chapter of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) sponsored this year's AISES pow wow during the Lumbee Homecoming and also sponsored students to attend the National AISES Conference in MinneapoHs in November. Members also helped with roadside cleanup in front of Porter Plaza and spoke to high school students on college lite and tradition. This year's officers were Jada Locklear (President), Sarah Locklear (Vice President), Justin Hunt (Treasurer), and Luciana Hammonds (Secretary).

The Biolog)' Club's members participated in a number of activities this year. In the tall, they helped with roadside cleanup on Union Chapel Road, ran a food drive for Hurricane Floyd victims, went hiking and camped out overnight at Cheraw State Park in South Carolina, and contributed to an SGA part)' for children; roadside cleanup and another camping trip were also on their agenda in the spring. This year's Biology Club officers were Erika Yates (President), Jan Lee Santos (Vice President), Shaun Alex (Treasurer), and Eric Lockamy (Secretary).

The Health Careers Club sponsored CPR training for students and the community in October and dinners for needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas. They also brought speakers to campus to provide information on the Science Enrichment and Medical Education Programs. This year's officers were Andrea Locklear (President), Erika Yates (Vice President), Dorothy Blowe Woodfork (Treasurer), and Shaun Alex (Secretary). The Science Education Club helped with judging at the NC District IV Regional Science Fair on campus and in local schools. They also sponsored an annual achievement award and helped students to attend various

tudents interested in tiie performing arts had a variety of organizations to choose from on the UNCP campus. For those who enjoyed music, the Concert Band and Concert Choir were open to all students and performed at major university events such as Pembroke Day, Fall Convocation, and graduation; they also celebrated the holidays with a concert in December. Smaller, auditioned groups such as the Chamber Singers, Jazz Band and Jazz Choir were another option for students with a serious interest in music, regardless of major. These groups performed both on- and off-campus. A final option for Music majors was Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, the national music fraternity, which was re-activated this year on our campus.

Students interested in acting, directing, or the backstage aspects of theatre could join the University Players. The Players' three productions this year were The Robber Bridegroom, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and The Actor's Nightmare, which was directed by senior Theatre major Melissa Anderson. In addition, this group's members painted faces on Pembroke Day, attended a Renaissance Fair in Raleigh, and helped with the production of many of the national touring shows that performed in the GPAC.

"Ihefress"

At UNCP, there were two types of publications to be involved in, the Indianhead yearbook and the biweekly newspaper, The Pine Needle. These two student-operated publications gave the staff the opportuniry to experience a real production with deadlines and layout decisions to consider.

Working with a staff of 1 5 students and advisor Sara Oswald, editor Sarah-Lynn Brown made sure the production of the 1 999- 2000 Indianhead was successful. Being on the staff for the Indianhead was not an easy job; the editors, photographers, and production staff had to face deadlines and work with other campus organizations to make sure their sections were completed fully — and they also had to attend their classes, complete assignments, and fulfill work and family responsibilities.

The Pine Needle had a new Editor-in-Chief Chrisha Dolan, for Fall 1999. with Mavis Carter serving as Assistant Editor. For Spring 2000, they traded positions. The editors and staff of this student-produced publication also faced many challenges to

produce a paper every two weeks _a ^ , „ ^

A major change on the academic scene this year was the reor- ganization of the existing departments into schools and a col- lege. When announcing the new structure, Chancellor Meadors stated that it would "provide additional visibilitv' and iden- tity' for our many excellent and important academic programs."

The largest unit was the new College of .\rts and Sciences. Among its departments, the Art Department hosted shows by se- niors and visiting professionals in its gallery in Locklear Hall throughout the academic year. The department also held its an- nual student arts and crafts sale during the first week of Decem- ber, as well as a Christmas dinner for faculty' and staff.

The Music Department welcomed Dr. Timothy Altman to its faculty as the new Band Director, succeeding Dr. Dale Misenhelter. Dr. James Longmire also joined the faculU' as a part-time voice in- structor. Senior Music major Veronica Farrier praised the depart- ment for providing a "total family environment" for its students.

Making Preparations

The new College of Arts and Sciences also included departments in the sciences: Biology, Chemistry and Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Nursing. There were some significant changes in Chem- istry and Physics, which incorporated the programs in Geology and Geogra- phy, formerly a separate department, at the start of the academic year. And a new major in Applied Physics was the first baccalaureate program in phys- ics offered by the University. Dr. Thomas Dooling, academic advisor for the five students enrolled in this major, noted that "we're the only university within 100 miles that offers a major in applied physics." Dr. Jose D'Arruda, chair of the department, said that the new curriculum, which included six new courses, "will provide students with a firm foundation in experimental physics and computational courses."

Mathematics and Computer Science welcomed two new faculty mem- bers this year, Mrs. Mary Klinikowski and Dr. Guo Wei; Ms. Liz Oxendine also joined the department as a new staff member. Math major Glenn Sampson

commented that although the cur- riculum was "very difficult" and "re- quires a lot of knowledge," the faculty were helpful; he noted that "Dr. Wei % Wil^^^L. is very encouraging of his students."

Nursing welcomed a new direc- tor. Dr. Virginia Wirtz, who said the department was planning revisions and additional evening classes to make the program more "user- friendly" for its students.

Read It, Do It

Other departments in the College of Arts and Sciences were American Indian Studies; English, Theatre, and Languages; History; and Philosophy and Religion. American Indian Studies welcomed Dr. Joseph B. Oxendine back to campus in the spring to teach a course in Sports Heritage.

English, Theatre, and Languages began the year with several new faculty members: Dr. Jesse Peters and Dr. Susan Cannata in English; Mr. Dean Hinnen, director of the Writing Center; and Dr. Kay McClanahan in Speech. Dr. McClanahan was not a stranger to this area, having received her undergraduate degree from St. Andrew's Presbyterian College. Before coming to UNCP she spent the previous twelve years teaching at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea. As a new professor, she wanted to make students across the campus aware of the importance of effective speech. "Our speech helps to form the first im- pression," she said, adding that "unlike writing, words spoken cannot be erased or corrected." Her classes were intended to help students develop the skills needed to become more effective speakers in their personal, class- room, and work-related conversations.

New to the History faculty this year was Dr. Kathleen R. Zebley, who taught courses in 19th-century American history. A native of Louisiana, Dr. Zebley said she had known since she was seventeen that she wanted to be a history professor. "I want to share my love of history with the students," she said.

New Business

The School of Business and Mass Communications was an- other new academic division created this year, comprised of the departments of Business Administration and Mass Com- munications, with Dr. Kenneth Clow serving as Dean. Chancellor Meadors commented that Dr. Clow "brings to the Dean's position a wealth of academic and administrative experience that will pro- vide significant leadership as we seek to increase our enrollment."

Joining the Business Administration faculty this year were Dr. Muhammed Ashraf in Economics and Dr. Donald Roy in Market- ing; Dr. Roy also served as director of the graduate MBA program. New course offerings were added in finance, management infor- mation systems, and marketing. Senior Business major Lindsay Wenzel felt that the classes and faculty were "top notch." She re- marked on the variety of course offerings, noting that "there are a lot to choose from." And she appreciated the way most Business faculty members were "available for questions and comments" outside of class.

Mass Communications began the year with a new department chair. Dr. Randall Hines. Co-author of a monthly column on me- dia topics carried by 15 state press associations, Dr. Hines taught many of the Public Relations classes. Also joining the faculty was Van Coleman, who taught Broadcasting. Chris CogoUo, a senior Broadcasting major, and Michelle Kuhn, a senior Public Relations major, both felt that the department's course offerings were good, but they expressed a desire for more electives. Senior Journalism major Suzanne Tatum felt that the program had prepared her well for her future career, and she stated that "the professors here are excellent."

A third new academic unit this year was the School of Education, which included the Departments of Edu- cation and Health, Physical Education, and Recre- ation. Dr. Zoe Locklear returned to UNCP after several years with the Robeson County Board of Education to serve as the Dean for the School of Education. Dr. Locklear brought expertise in both special education and birth to kindergarten education.

The Department of Education welcomed Dr. Karen Stanley as a new faculty member, and Dr. George Fenstenmacher joined the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation faculty, which also gained Mr. Jonathan Kowal as the new assistant women's basketball coach and Robin Langley as the new tennis coach. Preparations were under way to establish a master's program in Physi- cal Education and to redesign the Recreation curriculum. According to Dr. Tommy Thompson, chair of the depart- ment of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, "The department is growing every year."

Referexcixg Ideas

The fourth academic unit at UNCP was the School of Gradu- ate Studies, which welcomed Dr. Bruce Ezell as its new Dean this year. Ms. Stephanie Y. Littlesalso joined the staff of the School of Graduate Studies, working in Dr. Ezell's office. Accord- ing to Dr. Ezell, the School of Graduate Studies has continued to make efforts to address the needs of nontraditional students. These plans were to be implemented by offering more night classes and expanding offerings in Teacher Education and Business through Richmond and Sandhills Community Colleges.

Supporting the efforts of all the academic programs on cam- pus was the Sampson-Livermore Library. Following Dr. Elinor Foster's return as Director of Library Services in January 1999, other new staff members who arrived this year were Ms. Susan Whitt and Mr. Michael Cummings. The library introduced several new re- sources this year, including additional databases, full text journals on-line, and much more. And to serve students' needs more ef- fectively, the library remained open until 2 a.m. during final exams, allowing access to its many resources for those whose busy sched- ules prevented them from getting there earlier in the day.

The Braves soccer team entered the 1999 season knowing they had a lot of questions with so many freshmen on the roster. Coach Mike Schaeffer worked the team very hard to begin the season with a good start. Despite the hard work, key players Aaron Pollard, Mickey Fredak, and Brian Young were coping with injuries.

There was little doubt, entering the Braves' season opener against St. Andrews, that Schaeffer was looking to his seniors to provide this youthful team its leadership. Senior mid-fielder Chris Little entered the game as the Braves' active leader in goals and points and notched a hat trick on only four shots to propel the Braves to a 5-0 season-opening win against the Knights at Braves Field.

Next, the whole team pulled together and was determined to win what Coach Schaeffer called "the team's first big test," the conference opener against Clayton College and State University. Again the Braves passed the test. Behind the strength of senior forward Jon Hicks' goal, the Braves defeated the Lakers 1-0. By the end of the game Schaeffer shouted, "We stole one!"

Against Pfeiffer University, the soccer team had captured momenmm and control midseason. but the game against Gardner- Webb proved the goal to be too little too late. During a game against East Carolina which our team lost, the brighter note came at halftime when senior players Corey Leatherwood and Chris Little and head coach Schaeffer presented East Carolina coach Devin O'Neill with a check for S727.50 that the UNCP soccer team raised during the preceding week to donate to the East Carolina University Flood Relief Fund. ECU said "Thank you. Braves," for the donation and went on to defeat their benefactors 5-1 .

Despite winning four games in the second half of the season, including

conference victories over Augusta State and USC-Aiken, the Braves were

Taking It to the Net

The Lady Braves volleyball team started the season with a lot of enthusiasm and hope for a competitive season. The players were challenged in the fact that they had a young team, but they improved their overall record from last year by five games.

The start of the season began at Fayetteville State University, losing 2 - 3. It would not become any better for the Braves when they traveled to the Valdosta State Tournament. The Braves entered the conference opener picked to finish last in the eight- team conference. Coach Beverly Justice said, "I think if we had come out with the intensity in game one that we had throughout the rest of the match it might have been a different story."

In September the Braves volleyball team fell to the visiting USC-Aiken Pacers 3-0 in a match that saw many delays by the officials. The most notable delay came in the second game when the match was delayed for nearly fifteen minutes as the Pacers were called for serving out of rotation. Floor official Tad Watson talked to the official scorer and the chair

official and then ikBria Handran (left) sets up explained the call to teammate Ester Towers for an confused Aiken easy score. players. He then

resumed the match, giving the serve to the Braves. The delay did not slow down the Pacers as they cruised to victory.

Success came during the end of September, with the Lady Braves winning three consecutive games, and at the FSU tournament, going 4 -1 in the tournament. The Braves' first win during the season came against the Elizabeth City Vikings. Our team got out to a quick start in the match, winning the first game 15-2, game two 15-1, and game three 15-5. The Braves were led by Jessica Guy who had 13 digs, 13 kills and a .579 attack percentage. Lisa Roy had five kills and a .364 attack percentage. In the Braves' third win in a row, the team gained early control of the match, winning games one and two in quick and convincing fashion. However, the Mount Olive College Trojans rallied in game three, winning it 1 5-9, to send it to game four. In game four the Braves needed less than ten minutes to end the match, winning the game 15-2.

This was a rebuilding period with one of the Braves' strongest incoming freshman classes. It was difficult for them to compete with more experienced teams, but they received valuable playing time that will only make the Braves stronger next season.

Victories in non-conference play marked the start of this year's season. On November 30th, the Braves rallied to a second-half win at Erskine, scoring a come-from- behind 62-55 victory in this NCAA Division II non-conference game. On December 1 5th, the Braves, who had not played since Saturday, December 4th, struggled with their shooting throughout the game. But they were able to play off the rust and defeat the St. Andrews team to pull out an 85-83 win. The hard-fought win came in the first game the Braves have ever played while ranked in the Division II top 25 national poll.

On December 18th, the Braves played Fayettevilie State University at the Cumberland County Crown Coliseum and defeated the Broncos 55-49. Theotis Gibson led the Braves' second-half surge by scoring 14 points in the half Gibson added five rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal in his game totals. Guard Jay Bruer finished with 1 0 points and five rebounds. Center Mike Lowery led the Braves with six rebounds. The Braves, who were ranked 19th in Division II in the nation, improved to 9-0 with the win over FSU.

By the new year, the team was ranked 1 7th in the nation out of Division II schools in the National Association of Basketball Coaches' poll. Although the momentum built early in the season could not be sustained once the Braves began meeting their PBAC rivals, November and December 1999 proved an exciting time for UNCP fans.

The Braves entered the PBAC post-season tournament on a positive note, having won three of their last four games, including a 74-68 Homecoming victory over Clayton State, to earn the number three seeding in the North Division. Although they were defeated by Amistrong Atlantic in the first round, ending the year at 6-11 in the conference, their 16 win total was the most they have scored in a season since joining the NCAA Division II, and Theotis Gibson closed out his UNCP career by being named to the PBAC All-Conference team.

The promotion of Sand\- Mitchell from assistant coach to head coach of the women's team this past summer left a position to be filled. One of Mitchell's first tasks as head coach was to fill that void, and she has done so with the hiring of Jonathan Kowal as the new assistant coach.

In only their fourth game the Lady Braves managed to outrun the \isiting Pfeiffer University Falcons to win a Division II game 65-47. Sophomore point guard Ginnell Cunis was the game's leading scorer with 18 points. Forward Tisha London finished with 1 1 points, and guard Lauren Thigpen and center Jennifer Lance each had 10 points in the game.

The Lady Bra\ es knocked off the Division I High Point Universirv' Panthers 8 1-79 in a non-conference game. The score became tied at 79 with 1:11 remaining. After a steal by sophomore Jennifer Lance, Dixon missed a three-pointer with five seconds remaining. How^ever. Thigpen secured the offensive rebound and found Lance, who hit the lay-up as the buzzer sounded to give the Lady Braves their ninth win of the season.

Kennesaw State University, the Peach Belt Athletic Conference's top seed in the South Division, defeated the Lady Braves 86-60 in the regular season finale for both teams. The Braves were eliminated from the post-season conference tournament. finishing the season 11-15 overall and 3-13 in the conference.

On the brighter side. Ginnell Curtis was named to the PBAC All-Conference team. "I feel honored." Curtis said. "T wasn't expecting it. It feels good."

Holding On

This has been quite a season for the LfNCP wrestling team coached by P.J. Smith. The team definitely had to work hard against tough competition from rival schools, but whether they won or lost, the team had fun and met the challenge.

The Braves captured their first win of the season at the Campbell Duals over Davidson. Although this was followed b\' some disappointing losses, the team scored a big win in January, taking out Pensacola Christian 41-6. The Pensacola win raised team spirits and dro\e them on to another win. this time against .'Apprentice on February 16th.

Although the Braves experienced a number of losses in

dual meets this season. UNCP wrestler Nick Gates qualified for

the NCAA Di\ision II Nationals to be held at South Dakota

State Uni\ersity on March 1 2 and 13. Gates qualified by finishing

second in the 125-pound weight class at the South Regional

Braves baseball got off to a slow start in 1999, with the team losing their home opener to Barton College and their first road game as well. They quickly bounced back with two victories, including a 26-2 trouncing of Molloy College in front of the home fans.

Although they finished with four more losses than wins. Coach Danny Davis's players gave all they had and looked forward to next year.

The UNCP golf team began 1999 with a valiant attempt to repeat as champions in the 2 1 st annual Lacey Gane Memorial Tournament. Although the Braves found themselves down nine shots after the opening round, they recovered on the second day and fell just three shots short of claiming the championship. The medalist for the tournament was UNCP's Earl Donnelly.

The golf team finished fifth at the Johnny Palmer/Old North State Tournament, and they also participated in the Billy Joe Patton Intercollegiate

Tournament held at the Broken Arrow Golf _l.^, „

On the Ball

The 1999 Softball season was one of small disappointments but lessons gained. Out of forty- three games, the Lady Braves only had eleven wins but fought hard to get them. Motivation and team- work were part of the team play for this year. The Softball team and Coach Renfro were looking ahead to see what happened in the new millennium. With hard work and dedication, the Lady Braves hoped to slide into a homerun season in the coming year. We look forward to watching the Lady Braves rise to the occasion. We wish them good luck and prosperity in

^ t irbifka Gait Stoohbnrv considered herself / a military brat. She was"^born in Victorvilie, L^ California, and has lived in Spain and England, because her father was in the Air Force. She has lived for the past twelve years in Fayettevllle, however, and considered that her home town.

While at UNCRTabitha was a commuter and said that though she had missed out on some things about dorm life, she preferred commuting because "I would rather have my own bathroom and bedroom." She made an effort, however, to participate in extracurricular activities, including serving as co-editor of the Organizations section of the Indiaiihead yearbool^.

Tabitha chose Public Relations as her major after her dad "talked her into" taking a few classes and she liked them. For the senior internship required in her major, she worked at the UNCP University Relations office, which "provided a great deal of hands-on experience and allowed me to apply my classroom knowledge," she said. "I also

learned things I was never taught in class," she added. Her internship, she said, "has really showed me I do

know how to do a lot College has shown me I am a

strong person and can take on any challenges that come my way."

The "best thing" Tabitha experienced while at UNCP was the trip she took with the Public Relations Student Society of America to attend its convention in Anaheim, California. She said she would recommend UNCP to others because of its small classes, individual attention from professors, and the quality of the friendships with other students. As a single mother, Tabitha said all of her time outside of classes was taken up by her 18- month-old son, Austin. After graduating, she planned to go "anywhere" that offered a job in her field, which probably meant a big city Tabitha's advice to underclassmen was to "beware of Financial Aid." She also advised them to "Live one day at a time and take nothing for granted."

^ tftcK. ^osario-CuscLM was well known L- — 7 around campus, and if you did not i<now >^ C^ her, most likely you had heard ot her. When you saw Hiica, you saw smiles, and when you heard Hiica, you heard the sounds of laughter.

Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Hiica has lived most of her life in Fayetteville, where she graduated from Douglas Byrd Senior High School. Her major at UNCP was Criminal Justice, which she chose because "law and how it worked have always fascinated me." She has done community service to get a better insight on her career. She also served as president of the Criminal Justice Club for two years.

Hiica was a very positive person and always brought the best out of a situation. She spent her spare time in her junior year reading and speaking to Hispanic children about the importance of knowing another language. When asked, "What will you miss the most about Miss Hiica?" one child responded, "Miss Hiica always cheered me up and always told me to never give up

and that I can do anything I put my mind to." As a senior, Hiica worked with the ADA oftlce, reading to students unable to read for themselves.

One of Hilca's many achievements during her years at UNCP was being crowned the first Hispanic Miss UNCP She stated,"lf you don't believe in your- self and know that you can do it, then no one else will either." Hiica believed she had made it this far by the grace of God and the sup- port and love of family and friends. She said her parents always asked her, "Why settle for the stars when you can have the moon?"

"Always believe in yourself

and don't ever give up!" said Hiica,

who also advised that "managing

your time wisely is the best

possible thing you can do for

yourself throughout your college experience." Some

final words of wisdom she shared were, "Remember

everything you sacrifice now will come back to you,

but just in greater quantities." Hiica was truly an

amazing person who has made many differences in

peoples' lives. adria^Kc S>itckdi

n yVn/kt sometimes called "E," could be found easily on campus; he would

■'stop to talk to everyone. If you needed help, he wouldn't hesitate to try to help you with your problem. As the son of a military man, Eric has lived in "too many places to remember," he said. However, for the past fifteen years he lived in New Bern, NC, which he considered his hometown.

Eric was an RA in West Hall, a good job for him because it didn't affect his studies. He was required to stay on campus a certain number of weekends out of the semester. Eric liked living on campus because all of your bills were in one package, which made his college experience less stressful.

Eric majored in Recreation Management because of his enjoyment of athletics and sports. He thought this department offered a lot because it included more than just RE. classes. He has already worked as a lifeguard and worked with a special education program for exceptional children. Eric was also a member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity,

r

and he said, "It has made me become involved." In his spare time he liked to talk to people, and he also considered himself to be an "exercise manic."

Eric chose to go to UNCP because he had an athletic scholarship. He considered UNCP to be a small school with a good learning environment. He would recommend UNCP to oth- ers because there is a good student to teacher ratio and you get to know your professors. Eric planned to start work right after college as an aquatics coordinator at the YMCA and maybe go to graduate school in the distant future. His

/advice to underclassmen about conducting a job search was, "Have an idea of what you want to do and where."

Eric thought the best things about UNCP were the people and the faculty UNCP helped prepare him to a certain extent tor the "real world" and helped him handle stress better. "It feels great to be a senior," he said. His advice to entering freshmen was, "Be yourself and prioritize your time for studying." TrojT<cylor

^^*s ctic.'iKS "Ockv " J-vcldearviAS a hard senior f y to get in touch with. One reason this busy \^^ Music major was so unreachable was because

his schedule was continuously tilled with homework

and singing.

Octavius^vas from Prospect,

"The Cradle Of Indian Posterity,"

and commuted all four years of his

college career because he doesn't

like being away from his family for

long periods of time. Octa\ius felt

that by commuting there was a

"more peaceful atmosphere" and

he wouldn't get burned out by

being at school all the time. But by

doing so you put yourself at risk of

getting tickets because it was hard

to find a parking space.

By singing, Octavius has

found ways to take issues such as

parking and homework off his mind. "Music is where

my heart is," he said, and his experiences at UNCP

allowed him to realize what he really wanted out of

life, to teach music. Originally a Biomedicine major,

Octavius did a clinical work e.xperience at Robeson

Family Practice two summers ago. While he said "it

was great," it also helped him realize that what he realh' loved was music. Although focussing only on music during his senior year, he hoped to graduate with a double major UN'CP has also helped him adjust to \vhatever comes his way and has reinforced his social skills with lots of old and new friends that he will miss after leaving. He said he would recommend UNCP to others because, "You can get to know almost everi'one and most of the time, you're not a stranger."

Although he was "always looking for someone to sing with," Octavius also enjoyed fishing, playing ping-pong and volleyball, and spending time with his family, especially his nephew Tyler. His ad\ice tor underclassmen would be to study hard and do the best that you can. While in the process, have fun and don't stress out. Look fonvard to meeting lots of new and difterent personalities and attitudes, but at the same time learn from those personalities and your mistakes. Most of all, "Always keep God tlrst in everything you do!"

/^arak-J-vnn T^rswn found out about UNCP ^ when her high school art competition was held ^ -J on the campus. She decided to become an Art major because art was something she was inspired to do since an early age. Overall she enjoyed her major but didn't like the way "one art class might meet three hours a day, two days a week. It is hard planning your regular classes around art classes."

Sarah said UNCP was "a great school, but I think there could be more improvement in campus beautitlcation. The student body here is friendly, and it is easy to meet new people. We may not have all the money that big name schools have, but what we do have has substance to it. Being close to . , ^ my home in Fayetteville and the low tuition makes another positive," she added.

Sarah said that finally being a senior was strange because all she has known since being five years old was being a student. Her advice to underclassmen was to start saving money now; being a senior can be expensive. After graduation Sarah hoped to get a job

in her field, but she definitely wasn't staying in this area. Growing up in a military family, Sarah lived in such places as Texas, Hawaii, and Germany, and she still has that traveling bug in her

and leadership. When Sarah was a

freshman, she couldn't see herself

1^^^ at UNCP has taught her how to

She recommended that entering freshman "learn how to write papers quickly, because everyone is going to expect a couple out of you. And never forget. Spell Check is your friend!" ^^^^^^ ^^^^

faiktrnt Etizahttk Elliott was a leader with a positive personality. Katherine's fondness for art and theatre paved a way for involvement on campus during her college career. And Katherine has always been fond of biology and helping others, which were important in her Biology major with emphasis on biomedicine.

Katherine moved around most ot her life but truly felt like her parents' hometown of Portland, Indiana, was her home, too. Katherine lived on campus her senior year, while her parents resided in Tennessee, and said some advantages of living on campus were that it was easier to participate in on-campus events and have more access to everything on campus.

Katherine's advice to entering freshmen was, "The biggest thing you can do is get involved." Katherine herself was involved in campus events as president of the University Players theater club. She was also an active member of CAB, which she joined

because she liked to know what went on around campus and what she could gel involved in.

Ever since she was a little girl, Katherine enjoyed helping others. She was a Red Cross Volunteer tor many years. She took a Health Occupation Test in high school, which led to her Biology major. Later, she decided she wanted to be a pediatrician so she could work with autistic children. Katherine's plans for after graduation were to move to Fayetteville and become established, and then later return to graduate school for her doctorate degree.

Katherine said UNCP made her a different person. She became more responsible without anyone pushing her to be. The one thing she would have changed would be to require computer courses for every major and field. Katherine's last thoughts and advice were to pick a career because you enjoy it; do what makes you happy. She said, "Don't let anyone get you down." Most important, she said, is to enjoy yourself and life.

^■'-z/yj.y .J-iO-f'iK knows that his memories are ) /I wKat he will miss the most: the smell of the

S^y t- baseball field right after it was cut, and the

feeling he got at the beginning of every game as the

Star Spangled Banner played and

he was about to take the field, that

feeling of pride. He also said he

would miss all the friends he has

made over the years. Some will

remain close, but some, after

graduation, he said he would

probably never see again.

Andy was a senior on the

baseball team and said that it was

his involvement in baseball that got

him through a lot of rough times

in his college career here at

Pembroke. It taught him hard work

and dedication do pay off, not only

physically, but mentally, too. He

knows the teamwork abilities he has acquired with

baseball will prove instrumental in the work world. Andy grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, and wanted

to go far away to school so he could "grow and mature

as an independent adult." He began college at the

University of Nebraska in Lincoln, where he joined

the baseball team as a walk-on. To avoid being red- shirted, he transferred to Iowa Western Community College, where he played baseball for a year and a half and received his associates degree. His coach there made the arrangements for him to continue his playing career at UNCP. Andy says he made a "leap of faith" in coming here without ever having seen the campus. At first, Pembroke was a big adjustment, since he had grown up in a large city and had "never been in such a small community before." Andy has changed a lot in his goals for his future and in his views of life. He said that he used to view life as a party, that it was all about having fun. Now he realizes that he has responsibilities that he has fun with. "I'm the type of person that doesn't let things get me down easily," he said.

Asked if he had any advice to leave to upcoming seniors, he said don't get stressed out for nothing, take things as they come, and have fun in the mean time.

'^—rm.ibj SIkk 'datley was a hard working and r-~' determined senior who received her Bachelor's ^^degree in Elementary Education on December

15, 1999. She was born on Cherry Point Marine Base

in Havelock, NC. From there her

family moved to New Bern and

then to Greensboro, where she has

been li^g for the past 18 years. While at UNCP, Emily lived

in her own apartment and

commuted to campus until the Fall

1 999 semester, when she was doing

an off-campus internship. After

graduating, Emily planned to apply

to graduate programs in

educational administration.

A very intellectual person,

Emily was also strong willed and

determined to be successful. She

knew what she wanted in hfe and

worked hard for it. She was recruited to UNCP for

tennis and played for 4 years. She juggled tennis, her

internship, doing her portfolio, and working around

12-15 hours at the Texas Steakhouse in Lumberton.

She only worked on the weekends, though, because

she didn't have any time during the week.

Emily has always wanted to be a teacher. She

enjoyed working with children and used to be a

mentor at a school for underprivileged children;

she's also taught tennis and reading to children, and

she's worked in the classroom

before.

Emily felt that UNCP "gives you a lot of opportuni- ties." She said that Pembroke has given her a good academic foundation, the basic knowl- edge that she needs in the "real world," and made her more open-minded and more disci- plined. She recommends this school to people who like small classes and like to walk around campus and see familiar faces. "Everyone knows everyone," she said. The advice she gave entering freshmen was to keep your focus and to have fun. Enjoy your experience academically and socially It's good to have both. Her motto was, "Work hard, play hard," and most important, "Have fun!"

^""t^ kiimii ^Hnt\\diS lived in Robeson County J-^ for thirty- four years and described it as a \^ v/place where everyone knows everybody A very friendly person who always has a bright smile to greet you with, Rhonda gleamed as she talked about continuing her education at UNC Pembroke.

Rhonda commuted to school everyday and found many disadvantages, such as not enough parking spaces and having to stay on campus for your next class. Rhonda felt dorm life also had one disadvantage: there was no one around to push you to go to class.

Rhonda chose to major in Elementary Education "because I am a nontraditional student with kids of my own and feel 1 could be of service and make a difference in the community." While Rhonda did not agree with some of the rules and regulations required for her major, she felt the faculty was qualified.

When not in class, Rhonda worked at Omega Auto Mart, which is operated by her husband Jeff, doing clerical work about twenty-five hours a week

and said, "Sometimes you think there is not enough time to get done what you need to do." Although she was responsible for a husband and three children, she had enough time for the necessities and also to work with her church's youth group.

Rhonda chose UNCP because it was close to her home. She felt that the university had a good Education program, kept up to par with other universities, and was diverse in culture. She would recommend others to come to UNCP due to the cost and, more importantly, because professors know you on a one-to-one basis. Rhonda planned to get a job after she graduated and also hoped to go to graduate school. She wanted to stay in her community, teaching kindergarten through sixth grade. Rhonda stated, "UNCP has not prepared me for the 'real world'; I have been there, done that." The college experience has made her realize that obtaining a degree is important. Rhonda gave freshmen this advice: Give it everything you've got and do not take anything for granted. ^^^^ ^ 'BxlUrd

fnoKM 'hlmrxJi a committed senior, grew up in

Hope Mills and once attended Mt. Olive

University. He then decided to transfer to The

diversity of North Carolina at Pembroke for his

sophomore year and for all future

years of his education.

Jimmy has gotten a taste of

what it is like to live on campus and

off. He resided on campus until his

senior year, when he became a

commuter. Jimmy stated, "1 like

living on campus because it is

easier to get to class, and you can

walk anywhere on campus within

a matter of minutes." He did not

particularly want to commute, but

he had to because of his job

obligations. When asked what he

disliked most about commuting,

Jimmy stated, "I hate the drive."

Jimmy's future looked promising. He was a

Physical Education major because he would like to

coach baseball. He stated, "I have always wanted to

coach a baseball team at the high school level."

Jimmy has also done a lot of volunteer work,

including helping at the 1 998- 1 999 Special Olympics.

He also worked with Cub Scouts. Jimmy has never changed his major, which in itself showed he knew what he enjoyed, he knew what he wanted to do, and he was going for it. Besides his academics, Jimmy was involved in a number of things, including a job as a manager at the TLC autowash, where he was working fifty hours a week. Jimmy also played on a coeducational Softball team. After all this, he still made time for church and his friends. Jimmy was a busy yet determined individual.

When asked about leaving

UNCP, Jimmy stated, "I will miss a

number of things, including my

friends and routine." He feh as if

Pembroke had prepared him and

made him grow up, so to speak.

Jimmy had this advice he

would like to offer freshmen: "Don't be scared; it gets

easier You will start to understand how the system

works with time." His advice to other classes was,

"Cherish your friendships; the friends you make in

college will be friends for life."

-»— -y K^y ^.t'.'. was determined to join the Air 1 /J Force, even during his attendance at UXCP. \^ L' Andy has been Hving in various parts of the country, as his father was in the military for more than t^venty years. He planned to follow his father's footsteps and take a career in the military One of the main reasons Andy chose to attend UNCP was because of the Air Force ROTC program, but it turned out there were many more benefits from UNCP than he had expected.

Andy was active as an SGA senator, a CAB member, an ROTC color guard, and an Arnold Air Society initiate. "It made me get involved in campus activities, and 1 gained confidence in myselC'said Andy He gained many friends by being active, and he enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. He treasured his friends during his college years and commented,"\Vhat I'll miss most about UNCP is all the friends I've met."

Andy also liked the academic programs on campus, as the school offered small classes and close relations between students and instructors. "The

^jv j^/!7^^r

professors helped me out a lot whenever I had problems, and I could get more attention in class than going to those big schools," he said.

One of the most memorable events for Andy while he attended UNCP must have been his marriage with his wonderful wife, lessica, on October 5, 1999, in Fayetteville. The two have been seeing each other for a few years before they were married, and they decided to wear the wedding band while they were still young. Some might say they were too young, but the rest will say it's the most romantic thing that can happen.

Overall, Andy enjoyed life at UNCP and he never regretted choosing it. The good ROTC program, friendly people, and helpful faculty were onh' a few to name the benefits from UNCP His goal in life has always been high, and he expected to continue setting high standards for his life. One last advice that Andy gave to the underclassmen was,"Concentrate on study, and don't party too much." .Xff>S,iJt>

f^'~t^ "-'^l- Taylor was still recovering from the iX^effects of transferring to UNCP. Paul

s«/ experienced some culture shock when moving to Lumberton, but now he feels he has adjusted. "Pembroke is fairly small compared to my hometown," he said. "When I got here my first impression was all but delightful. I just knew this place was going to be the biggest bore, but now that I have adjusted, I enjoy the simplicity' of life around Pembroke. Here everyone isn't going full speed and more often people will stop and say hello."

Paul commuted from Lumberton everyday .\sked did he dread making the drive everyday, he replied, "I talked to many of my friends who are dorm residents and they say it's hard to sleep at night, so I guess my good night's sleep overrides the short drive." Paul took pride in being a senior and said, "I'll be in public somewhere and I might see a friend or someone my parents know and the discussion about school may come about. I let them know that I'm a senior now

and I can recognize the respect by their expressions."

Paul was majoring in Art and hoped to pursue

graduate school at NC State School of Design. Paul

enjoyed graphic and studio arts and hoped to design

and produce his own video games

and even Xi\ to produce his own

fihns. "Film making and studio art

is a very competitive industry, so

in order for me to be successful I

feel that I need to acquire aU of the

education possible. Pembroke has

helped me in laying that strong

foundation I feel I need for this

competitive industry," he said.

Paul felt he would miss the simplidt)- of life here and knew he would visit often once he has moved away He wanted to make sure freshmen realized that college life was conquerable, but you just had to study and stick with a steady routine. Do not be late to Professor Mark Thompson's history classes because you will be asked to stay after class. In the future look for Paul's name on some of the best seller movies because he's most confident that his name will appear on manv of them. ^^^ .^ 3^^^^

y,^\ iivi^ SuzaKKC TafwK, known to most ofher / J friends as Zanne, came to Pembroke from v_^ Fayetteville, where she lived all of her life.

Suzanne stated that Fayetteville had a "large diversity

of people." When she first arrived

here at Pembroke, she chose music

as her major. Eventually she

changed her major to Mass

Communications with a focus on

journalism. When asked why she

changed, Suzanne's response was,

"It was bad having to do what 1 love

for a grade." This didn't present

much of a problem; she simply

switched her major to her minor Aside from writing, she had

a passion for playing guitar and

piano. She also wrote her own

music and wrote for the school _

paper Suzanne was also a member

of the Cedar Creek Baptist Church in Fayetteville. She

chose to come to Pembroke because "It's too far to

commute, but close enough to visit.""One thing I like

about living on campus," she said, "is that if you're up

late at night, there's always somebody to talk to. It's

like a big support group. The downside to this is the

fact that people can be really loud when you're trying

to sleep or study." After she graduated, she planned

to move to somewhere like Raleigh or another big city

with more to do. She planned to take a break and then

later possibly go to graduate school.

"The best thing about

UNCK' Suzanne said, "is the fact

that it's small. You can get to know

people really easily." If she could

change anything it would be to

add more parking spaces and

extend the hours of the University

Center. "Parking has been a big

problem ever since I was a

freshman," she said.

"Being here has made me more independent," stated Suzanne. "The people that I have met here have helped me find myself It can be hard sometimes to adjust to college." If she could give any advice to entering freshmen, it would be to "start off slow and not try to do too much at once; pace yourself." She also wanted to tell the readers to "take advantage of as many opportunities as you can to have fun and do positive things." :^<tx2)«xx

^ J armrd yervntM 7a.nitr, also known as A yY "feoni," was a very outgoing senior in the ^y Kt^ Music Department. If you needed her tor anything she was right there to help. Veronica had lived in Dillon, SC, for all twenty years of her life. Besides raising eight cats of all ages, she worked two jobs while attending UNCP, one in the Music Dept. library and the other at a department store. She said that being a commuter had both advantages and disadvan- tages. The ride to school in the morning cleared her mind, but it was a long drive and the weather could be bad some mornings. She didn't get to enjoy all the campus activities because most of the in- formation was passed through the dorms, but she had a life outside of school.

Veronica chose to major in Music Education. She knew this was what she wanted to do when she was a child. UNCP offered the courses she needed, the classes were small and the teachers had a one- on-one relationship with the students. She hoped to

/

teach middle school children when she graduated and keep her job at the department store. She liked the small size of her department and the fact that everybody knew everybody, including the teachers. They were like family to her.

Veronica didn't think being a senior was a big deal. She was just glad that she survived the past years and didn't drop out or change her major She would recommend UNCP to others depending on their major If you were going into music and preferred a concert band setting, you got a lot of help from your private instructor. She also said that her higher-level core classes were preparing her for some real world situations.

Her advice to underclassmen conducting job searches was go out and do as many school observations as they could, go beyond the local scene, and get acquainted with the teachers. "It's a wonderful experience. Don't take it for granted. The effort you put into it is how much you get out of it," was her advice to entering freshmen.

some of their reflections in his address at the December, 1999,

graduation exercises.

"UNCP just grows on you," according to senior Ronnie Critelli, and many of his classmates felt that they, too, had grown during their college experience. Joseph Schlee commented that his time at UNCP had "forced me to become more responsible," and he also appreciated the fact that he had "made lifelong friends" here.

Melissa Prevatte said that her education "has changed the way I regard people" and given her "a new perspective." Derrick Pate noted that, while at UNCP, he "learned about my own culture and others" and came to appreciate "the uniqueness and value of every individual."

Graduate student Setrina Gainey reflected that UNCP had made her "more open-minded and well-rounded." She summarized the feelings of many of the degree recipients when she stated that her time at the university had been "a life-changing experience."

keabrook Jones was a junior at UNCP this year, majoring in Criminal Justice. Seabrooi< was

originally from Raleigh, NC. She enjoyed

living there because it was a nice city,

with many malls to shop at. In Raleigh

everything was very accessible, and she

had everything she

needed at her

fingertips.

Seabrook had

attended UNCP since

her freshman year

(1997) when she

came on a tennis

scholarship, playing

for the newly formed

UNCP women's tennis

team. Since then she

had lived on campus

in North Hall.

Seabrook said she

liked living on

campus, but there

were both ups and downs to dorm life.

She liked the fact that she was away from

home and had her own responsibilities.

In her freshman year living on campus

allowed Seabrook to meet a lot of people

and make some good friends. On the other hand, Seabrook said that the dorm rooms were small and some of her neighbors were annoying! She also complained about cold showers every now and then.

Seabrook gave up playing tennis to concentrate more on her studies and to get a job to make some money She went to work in Fayetteville as a cocktail waitress. She said it was hard work but the pay was very rewarding. Seabrook enjoyed working because her schedule was very flexible and she could work when she wanted.

Seabrook chose Criminal Justice be- cause she was interested in working with juveniles when she graduated. So far she has found the faculty very helpful, and she liked them because "they are all very

I ance Elliott Hagans wasn't / actually as shy as everyone c' ^ thought he was. Beneath his shy grin, he was an intelligent young man; he didn't have much to say, but when he did it was worth listening to.

Lance resided in Lumberton, where he had lived all his life. Being a commuter. Lance found studying at home a lot easier and quieter. He stated that he went to the library one night to study and "they made as much noise in the library as they do in the dorm. The night I went to study, they had the vacuum cleaner running." Even with the disadvantages of dorm life. Lance still planned to live on campus next year

Wanting to be a game warden, Lance was working toward a degree in Criminal Justice. The classes he needed weren't offered that often, so he had to take electives while waiting for those courses to become available.

Lance felt the faculty in the

Criminal Justice Department were great, preparing him well for his career as a game warden. When asked who his favorite professor was, Lance quickly responded, "Dr. Vanderhoof." Lance explained his reasons for feeling so by saying, "He gives a good description of the material in the course, though tests aren't given. He's there to talk with you if you're having a difficuk time."

These sorts of experiences are part of the reason Lance chose to attend UNCP. He liked the advan- tage of being "close to home,"as well as "hav- ing that one-on-one experience with the professors. It is a good college, just as good, maybe even harder, than UNC-Chapel Hill."

A member of Mt. Airy Baptist Church, Lance was active in various church activities. Though it seemed Lance had everything going for him, there was still one great void in his life — a girlfriend!

^^hrisha Lynn Dolan was busy f typing at a computer as the editor \^^ of The Pine Needle while being interviewed. Chrisha, who was a native of Fayetteville, North Carolina, described her hometown as being "crazy" and "hectic." "I love it, though," she said. "Most people don't."

Chrisha de- cided to come to UNCP because she wanted to become a veterinarian — that was until she found out she was allergic to cats and dogs. This made her decide to pur- sue a major in Bi- ology. She was

very concerned with the conservation of wildlife and would possibly like to work for the EPA.

Along with being the editor of the school newspaper, Chrisha was a member of the Biology Club and also worked as an assistant manager at Blockbuster Video in Lumberton. "I'm as busy as I

can get," she said. In her spare time, she went to plays in the Pembroke area, watched movies, and collected books.

As a commuter, Chrisha liked the fact that it was quieter and she had more room to herself in her apartment as opposed to living in a dorm. On the downside, "I have to be here at 8 a.m. if I want a parking space" and "I don't see as many people." But, she said, "I don't goof off as much."

Chrisha was satisfied with many of her professors at UNCP "They know what they're doing," she said. She was also pleased with campus security and the other support services. She didn't, however, agree with the attendance policy and liked to see students get more involved with the athletic programs — she felt they needed more work and funding. Her advice to students at UNCP was to learn to live with the small area around campus.

' /hailed from Ocean Isle Beach

V / where he had resided for nine

ypars. He said that it

was a very small town

For him, the

advantages of being

on campus included

close proximity to

classroom buildings,

the library, and

greater access to

computers. The only

drawback that he saw

was late night revelers

who made it difficult

to sleep.

Josh majored in Biology because he

had always been interested in it. The fact

that his father is a professional fisherman also helped him choose his field.

He said that he liked UNCP because of the smaller class size and because the faculty is more approachable. He felt that the athletic programs didn't get the recognition they deserve and were very underrated.

Josh was also a member of Pi Lambda Upsilon and felt that the experi- ence had changed him for the better. Aside from his frater- nity activities Joshua also liked to surf back at home at a se- cret spot.

^'~f'\ rian McKeithan had it all planned A^ out. He wanted to finish college U^^ and then graduate school, with a Ph.D. in child psychology. Brian wanted to work in Robeson County and give something back to his community Born and raised in Red Springs, he expressed his admiration for the quiet little town.

A campus resident, Brian often commuted back to his hometown to see family and friends. Brian said, "Campus living is convenient due to computer access and the experiences that are gained from living on your own." On the other hand, "It is hard living on campus if you don't have a job, because there are lots of expenses, and money is a necessity."

A psychology major, Brian had always wanted to be a counselor or child psychologist; he loved to work with children and hoped he would be able to help them overcome their problems.

Brian's favorite professor thus far was Dr. Jerome McDuffie of the History Department, whom he described as

"caring and concerned when it comes to helping his students. He always made time for each student and tried to do all that he could to assist them in the learning process."

Brian worked in the weight room

in the gym, checking students in and out

and maintaining the equipment. He said

his job "helped me with my studies,

because it offered me a chance to have

extra study time." He

was also active in the

AASO and the singing

group Diversity,

activities that allowed

him to practice his

communication skills.

After a hard

day of classes, Brian

would unwind by

playing a game of

basketball or just

chilling with the boys.

He tried to meet new

people wherever he

went, and he was very

friendly and outgoing.

Brian felt that if he set a good

example for others, they too would strive

to make the most of their lives. His final

advice was, "Have fun, make the most of

everything you do, and always strive for

perfection."

I eslie Gwyn Covington was better / known as Lulu to friends and c->' ^family. Leslie had spent a great majority of her life at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Her mother grew up in Red Springs and that was where she called home.

Being a Brave appealed to Leslie because it was close to home, economical, and small. She loved the fact that all of her professors knew her name.

Since being at UNCP, she had been very impressed at the many things students have access to and the safety on campus. For example, if she had a paper that was due and needed to type it at 2:00 a.m., she could go the 24-hour computer lab and not have to worry about someone following her. The campus security was located right there within the lab. She also appreciated the kind treatment that she received from the people that work at each of these places.

Despite the fact that Leslie was a commuter student, she felt that she did

not miss out on the wonderful things that happened at Pembroke. She still came to Pembroke, outside of her classes, to hang out with her friends and to check out some of the events that took place. Leslie believed that she was at an advantage commuting to Pembroke everyday She liked having a place of her own without interruptions as opposed to a naggy roommate. Privacy was a very important thing to her. She liked commuting because she had indepen- dence and she en- joyed being a home- body The only disad- vantage she men- tioned was that she had to maintain and take care of her car.

She planned to major in Mass Com- munications because ^^ it was very broad. She

was on the newspaper staff in high school. She was an English fanatic and loved to read and write. She showed interest in broadcasting, al- though it made her nervous. She thought it was a way to get past her anxiety in front of large groups.

^•^L ennis Decarlo Lowery, known / ^ also as "D," was a natural at talk-

J y ing to people. He was from the small town of Red Springs, which in his opinion was a boring place to live, but sometimes exciting things could happen. He had lived here all of his life. As a sophomore, he was a commuter and had been since his fresh- man year. When asked about the ad- vantages of being a commuter he stated, "I don't have to put up with drinking and peer pressure." It had not affected his expe- rience with school be- cause he continued to make friends.

He planned to major in Pre- engineering. He said, "I have always liked math and science related courses, and this career is full of them." He hoped to enter into an engineer-related career immediately after graduating from college. D worked in the shipping department at US Packaging, where he loaded and unloaded trucks. He worked 20-25 hours per week. During his freshman year, he

worried more about making money than his studies. In his sophomore year, he had learned the value of making better grades instead of more money.

Besides going to school and holding down a job, D also had personal time which he spent with his family, girlfriend, and friends. He also liked to attend church activities, and during hunting season he enjoyed hunting, especially rabbits. D chose to attend UNCP because it was close to home and at the time he was undecided about his major. He was impressed with the school and said, "It has been a great **""i««. experience so far, but

I wish my freshman year would have been better."

Also, he fek that campus security was not very effective when it comes to alcohol, because people under the age of 2 1 were bringing alcohol on campus. But he added, "They have a very good infirmary." He felt that UNCP also had a very good academic program.

V. /akisha Locklear said the only J\j thing she hated about UNCP \^ 5 was the parking. "It's hard for a commuting student to find a parking space and still have time to get to class before the professor does," she said.

Nakisha, known to friends and family members as "Kisha," has resided in Pembroke all her life and refers to the town as boring. Before attending UNCP, she was enrolled at Robeson Community College. Her reason for leaving was that you could get a job a lot faster with a four-year than a two-year degree. Even though her major was still undecided, she felt that UNCP would allow her to broaden her potential interests. Even though UNCP is a small school, Nakisha felt that the smallness was an advantage. She explained that she could get a closer relationship with the professor better here compared to larger universities. One of the disadvantages she cited was that it is a small school and therefore is not as widely known.

Kisha also stated that her first year at UNCP has allowed her to interact with many different people that have affected her and how she viewed Pembroke. She no longer saw the town as boring, but as a town with potential.

Kisha's spare time has been dedicated to her work at Food Lion, the local grocery store where she worked as a cashier. She said that going to school and working at the same time did have its disadvantages. It didn't allow her to spend as much time on her studying as she would like to and it didn't allow her to become actively involved around campus. Working twenty hours a week and going to school was a pretty tough load, but she felt that she could handle it. Nakisha explained that "going to school and working at the same time gives a person a personality, a sense of responsibility." Nakisha closed by saying that she felt at the end it would all be worth while.

^»*yohnathan Stewart Lovette was ' / born and raised in Lumberton and V / decided he could not leave his mmietown to attend college. That was one of the reasons he was at UNCP. Even though he referred to Lumberton as "bor- ing," he spent around fifteen dollars a week on gas commuting to UNCP just so he could stay at home.

Do not misun- derstand. He liked coming to UNCP and said, "Commuting re- ally hasn't affected my experience at Pem- broke, not in a bad way, anyway." During "^^^

his freshman year, he was just taking gen- eral courses because he hadn't chosen a major. He wasn't in any clubs at Pem- broke, but that was because he didn't have the time.

Lovette was working at Tomlinson in the mall in Lumberton. He was respon- sible for emptying trash, putting up hang-

ers, and helping customers on the floor. Lovette worked about twenty hours a week, and with homework on top of that, he didn't have time for clubs.

When asked how a job affected his studies, he replied that he had "less time to study, but I handle it OK." Lovette's favorite professor was Dr. Patricia Valenti, his Composition profes- sor. "I feel she will teach me a lot about writing skills,"he said. The one point of criticism that Lovette had about UNCP was the park- ing. He explained by saying, "They took a step in the right direc- tion when they put additional parking spots beside the science building. Now they need to do more of that." Lovette had just one more thing to say: "I like UNCR If I ever do decide to leave, it will be hard. 1 know I will miss it."

^ J aria Melanthiou was a A /y freshman who came from \^ Y t^ the Greek part of Cypress. She Hked living in the United States; however, she stated, "It is very different than my hometown." She was born and raised in Cypress for nineteen years and said, "This is my first time being so far away from home and it's hard trying to adjust to the American cuhure." One major adjustment was the food. "The food in Greece is very different from the food here," Maria said. "The food here is unique and it is very fattening. Everything in Greece is very rich and low in fat. I think I've gained a few pounds eating American food. "

Maria was a resident on campus. One advantage of living on campus was getting to know the people on a more personal note. She was also able to become more familiar with the English language. "So far," said Maria, "I've attended many parties, which has helped me meet many new people. Partying has

brought a little bit of life to the dull campus. In my spare time I also like hanging out with the girls on my floor. There is a never a dull moment on our floor." Maria described that the one disadvantage of living on campus was "being so far away ^^ from my family and friends. My phone bills are very expensive because it costs so much to call Greece."

Maria's major was special education, which she chose because "I desire to help children with special needs. The courses that are offered seem to be challenging but I'm prepared to face the challenge. I think it's amazing to see children with special needs learn things and I want to be the one that left a lasting impression on them."

"I chose to attend UNCP because 1 was awarded a scholarship. The campus is a lot smaller than I expected it to be, but that means more one-on one learning," said Maria in closing.

^"-f"^ uddy Currie was student who /< always had the welfare of ■JLJ children on his mind. In fact, he showed this by taking trips to visit kids at Duke Medical Center with hospice. He would also go to basketball and baseball clinics to help and coach younger kids.

Buddy said that he liked UNCP because "1 like the student-to-teacher ratio and how the teachers and students all try to help out with everything to make you satisfied." He said that so far his favorite teacher was Dr. Timothy Ritter because "he makes you laugh and gets you involved with his class

to make sure that you understand what

he is talking about."

Buddy has lived in Laurinburg, NC, all of his life and said that while he has to drive a total of sixty miles every day, the advantage to com- muting for him was he can drive to classes instead of walk.

Buddy felt that UNCP's student life could be improved if students had a designated place to party with regulations for drinking to make it safer than traveling off

campus.

Buddy's advice was to "make all

decisions wisely and don't rush into any

thing; think before you act."

^^mmie Fleury, an instructor in the f Department of Business v»^ Administration, has revolution- ized the way students learn at UNCP. She has given many other students the chance to work in real-world situations with businesses in the community, like bring- ing those businesses in so that students can work with them to help develop their business plan. She has also been able to able to organize, start, and advise a chapter of Students in Free En- terprise (SIFE), which has given the school recognition on a na- tional level through competitions that are held each year.

"Mrs. Fleury is the best teacher I've had so far here; she really helps you understand what she's teaching you," one student said about her.

In the future Mrs. Fleury saw the SIFE team winning the international

championship as an accomplishment to which she could point.

Mrs. Fleury started working for UNCP after graduating from the MBA program here. She started as the Assis- tant Director of the Small Business and Technology Center and gradually started teaching a few classes until she was offered a full-time position as instructor. Mrs. Fleury's hopes for the future of UNCP were for it to continue growing and for the gap separating the community and the University to dissolve. When not at school handling the many problems brought to her door by students on the SIFE team as well as in her classes, Mrs. Fleury enjoyed reading and spending time with her husband and two young children.

^/^ » j#ith the changing of chancel- //f ylors, so too was the Mass r \/ Communications Depart- ment changed with a new chair of the department, Dr. Randy Hines."Dr. Hines is an excellent addition to the new depart- ment and will take the department into the new millennium," said a student.

Dr. Hines came from East Tennessee State University, where he taught for eight years. Upon his ar- rival at UNCP, he no- ticed the campus was small and had a very inviting atmosphere. "The only drawback to the campus is that the sidewalks were constructed below sea level," he said jokingly

When he was asked his opinion of the university he re- plied, "The UNC system has a fine repu- tation." He also that Pembroke had been targeted for growth. Dr. Hines believed this growth could be reached with the proper resources.

When asked what he saw in the fu- ture for his department Dr. Hines felt that the Mass Communications Department was beginning a new identity for itself with the breaking away from the Commu- nicative Arts Department. The future plans for the Mass Communications De- partment could be summed up by the "three R's": recruiting, resources (such as more equipment and space), and revenue (such as "friends of the department" and scholarship fund for Mass Communication majors).

Dr. Hines kept himself busy in his spare time by coau- thoring a monthly media column syndi- cated since 1993 to 17 state press associa- tions. He had spent fifteen years teaching and was the hus- band to Cathy Hines and father to chil- dren aged 18 to 20.

"When I came to work at UNCP, I took advantage of the

opportunity to con- tinue my education," said Starnes. She holds a B.A. in Litera- ture, which took a while to obtain. "Overall, it took me 25 years to obtain my B.A. (with quite a time off in between)," she reflected. It only took her three years to get her M.A. in

"Like most educa- tors," said Chancellor Meadors,"! believe that education is a lifelong process. You never

want to stop learning. I value what I learned from the degrees I have accumulated."

He also valued the time he spent with his family; his wife, Barbara, and sons Tyson, 16, and Jarrett, 14. "Sup- porting your children and loved ones is the most important thing any of us will do,"he said. Among his goals were increased enroll- ment and diversification of the student body "We have a wonderful univer- sity," said the Chancellor in an interview five months after taking the helm. "I would describe myself as an involved manager," he added. "I stay busy, and I like to see everyone involved and, equally important, working smarter to make this university the best it can be."

^^^lancellor Allen C. Meadors was installed at the December 15, f 1999, Winter Commencement and promised to lead the \^^ imiversity with "passion" and "optimism." The universit)' medallion was given to Meadors in a grand ceremony presided over by UNC President Molly C. Broad and UNCP Board Chair Roger Oxendme, after which the Chancellor conferred 233 degrees to graduates, witnessed by a crow'd of 1 ,700 in the Givens Performing Arts Center

Opening remarks by President Broad, Mr Oxendine, and others were followed by an introduction by Dr Elson Floyd, who had been a colleague of Dr. Meadors at Eastern Washington State University Resident Chief Superior Court Judge Dexter Brooks, who administered the oath of office, said this new chancellor enjoyed a level of community support that even his predecessors did not have.

In his address, Chancellor Meadors read from the university's mission statement, promising not to forget the past. "Founded in 1887 to educate American Indians, the University now serves a student body reflective of the rich cuhural diversity of American society," he said. "Some may trivialize the whole concept of a mission statement, but let me say I have taken these words very seriously They will be the cornerstone of our chancellorship," Meadors continued.

"The information age has launched post secondary' education to the center stage of the public agenda," Meadors said. "When it becomes impopular to stand for value, qualit)', tradition, freedom of speech, human rights and integrirj', I sa\' it is better

to be unpopular." "i promise you that as long as I serve as chancellor of this university, we will be passionate about education," said Chancellor Meadors.

The 20th Century hss been ailed the century of change and the century ofw^r I feel both are^ood names for the century that set the sta^e for what is ahead of hunianitjy in the twenty-first century. In the twentieth centurjy we saw the rise and fall of i in Europe. We lived through two world wars and multiple other wars. A lot has changed in the past one hundred _years. Few if an^ people remember when carriages used to be dnwn by horses and many people jiist walked wherever the^ wanted to go. 5oon after then cars became the norm for transit, and mass transit itself has evolved. People used to dream of flying, and now people fly in pUnes everyday, all around the world. Kids who once dreamed of going to the nwon ma_y have grandchildren who will live in outer spa.ce soon.

The few geniLLses 3.round us have taken our race to new and exciting places and shown us new ideas that before were only drea.ms. Eitistein's theory of relativity took the worid of science by storm. Although it had the ill effect of making nuclear weapons possible, it also made clean and safe nuclear energy possible for millions. Segregation was demolished in the 50's and 60'sjust as the Berlin will came down in Dec. of 1989. While the degree to which racial equity h^s grown varies by whom you ask, the fact remains that in many ways our society is more mature and less biased because ofra.ce, religion, gender or sexual preference than at almost any time in history.

One great thing that huma>\s possess is free thought. We can think and decide that our behavior is wrong and then change it. While changing the past is so far impossible, we can try to make amends for the past by not allowing such horrible things to happen in the future. We as a "Human Race" miist keep our history in all its painful shame and glory and continue
