Anne Smith, a Tarboro senior honor student feels in a different way about the matter stated, “I think the Hawaiians deserve stat but not now. There are many Communists in waii and annexing the islands as a new state it the union might open a new door for Commu to enter America.” She cited the fact that sever: prominent Hawaiian leaders think that this the time to add Hawaii to the union. _, President of the Junior class, Bob Neilsen of Kinston, had this to say about the situation: “The islands have been colonial territory long enough. The islanders have proved themselves worthy of the privileges of statehood. According to what I have read the Hawaiians have bee? cooperative in forming a good government, prov- ing their capabilities. They bore the brunt of the Japanese attack against the United States in World War II, thus saving parts of the continent from devastation. I think the move to add Hawaii to the union is a good one.” He admitted the danger of Communist infiltration as a drawback, but thought, like John Joyner, that the benefits would compensate the encumbrances. * * * * verre er er ss MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1984 ere Are For President Charlie Kluttz Charlie Kluttz, a senior from Char- and Henderson, announced his r president of the Stu- Government Association in the g election. with his betterment of a great- arolina College.’ of the 1953-54 Home- was held last October so the president of the 1 Chapter of the Alpha aternity, musie director lina Collegians, presi- campaigning an and a member of .
