Robert D. (Bob) J)arden, Jr.. is a corporate drop-out. At the right time he had the insight and guts to go backward in order to mpve forward.

rnc'oFor regret , to follow an earlier dream . '

"I always "wanted to study

law," he explained one Yecent noon aher classes in the University of North Carolina Law School here.

We felt we had reached the point where our economic situation made it possible.

Then, too, we were finding the rewards of corporate life at thaf level just4idflot seem to us to warrant the price."

Darden made the decision while president of Consolidated Furniture Industries of Lenoir, the furniture manufacturing subsidiary of Magnavox Corporation. His business background included the presidency of a Virginia luggage company, and rapid upward movement on the executive ladder in the furniture industry.

What Others Thought

His departure did not surprise close friends. If any thought him foolish, they did not tell him so. Some of his business contemporaries were openly envious. One grapevine report quoted an associate: Bob just isnt enough of a s.o.b. for a company president.

I may be the oldest student enrolled in Law School. Its not a statistic Im anxious to check on, he chuckled.

He almost certainly is the only one with two sons away at Woodberry Forest prep school, one a senior who will alter college next fall, and a nine-year-old daughter at home. He likely is the only one offering for sale a (me-quarter interest in a jracht, a symbol of the affluence that accompanied his former position. .

Darden speaks ' of the transition in the firsrpaw / plural, an indication of the familys close involvement.

nieir encouragement has been trememdous, he said.

Man, thats cool, the sons said admiringly when he told them he planned to go back to school!

Law classes were part of courtship days for Darden and his wife, Lynn, a native of Houston, Texas. He was a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a

degree in : mdrstnal

management working for Champion Paper Company by day and attending tl Univrsity of Houston by night. A complicated schedule, he recalled.

Marriage and chilch^n, and three years stateside service with the U.S. Navy during the .Korean Conflict shunted asicle the study of law. Out of the Navy vdth a family to support, Darden entered the furniture industry.

So you see what we are doing now is putting into operation the plans we abandoned in 1953, he explained.

Darden, born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Charlotte and Asheville, diose the Law. School here after talking with friends among attorneys and exploring possibilities. His father now lives in Wilmington.

He look^ on the financial sacrifice as no big deal. Sure, he gave up a salary in the middle of the five-figure range; the house they bought south of Chapel Hill is smaller than the one in Lenoir; the scale of living is simpler, the entertaining less extensive. Mrs. Darden works for a real estate firm with serious intentions for the field.

Still, the economics are sound, Darden said. It is an investment of capital over the two years required to get the law degree; it will begin to pay dividends when he ' returns to employment.

So much now depends on the states financial situation as the budget fof 1971-73 is drawn up. The decisions will have to be made within the next couple of months. ------------

City Plonflt Cautd_ Be Of Great Benefit

The city has filled the new position of city planner and this can be of great benefit in preparing for orderly growth here.

Dillon Watson, who has been executive secretary for the Ayden Economic Council was named to the new position.

Greenville has a great number of projects underway now. There has been, considerable planning done by the city manager and other city officials, the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission.

It has been evident for some time that a full time city planner was needed to coordinate all this work. The move has been made now and the city should benefit.

To avoid trouble in the House, the White House needs to uphold the veto in the Senate (where Republican leaders support it). But 16 Republican Senators voted for the bill of Sept. 23, and they may not be easy to turn around.

(Kinston Free Press)

A majority of the voters in the November 3 General Election "7n Ndfffi Caaxdma Fjctd propsa a prerequisite for voting in this State. With only about 400 {xecincts yet to be tabulated the total was 209,830 votes to abolish the tests and 266,769 votes to retain them.

The tests had been suspended in some 61 affected counties by a federal court.

A three-judge panel last week ordered North Carolina to cease enforcing the literacy tests through August 6,1973. The State can and no doubt will appeal this ruling and seek further support for literacy tests in the light of the voters action. The 1965 Civil Rights Act had previously nullified the practice in 39 N.C. counties.

What the vote results show is that there is a deep-seated Teeling among most citizens that some sort of competency test is in order for voters. While it is not racial and is not aimed at any (me gmip^ of vMers die practice igigrade the

The present situatibn will have to be r^blved in thecburtsW^ doubt, but th,e outcome of the vote on the constitutional amendment last Tuesday, is furtiier evidence that North Carolinians give up constitutional prerogatives reluctantly. We hope by the time the legal hassle is over that all voters who register will on their own upgrade their standards to the level of reading aqd writing the constitution,.whether is It required or not.

majority report as a whole: What the American people do not know, say the dissenters, is that the scanty and manipulated evidence contained within this rep(mt is wholly inadequate to support the conclusions and sustain the recommendations. And like good theologians, they cite chapter and verse.

For one example, they direct attention to a study undertaken by Martin M. Propper of 476 young male offenders, aged 17 to 21, who were divided into two groups those having a low ex-posure to pornography, and those having high ejqposure? The figures suggest a clear correlation between the extent of exposure and the level of deviant sexual conduct.

. Another study, along the same lines, was undertaken by K. E. Davis and G. N. Braucht. The researchers dealt with a carefully chosen sample of 365 persons', in-

cldTg~ Jail inmates, Mexican-American conservative Protestant students, and Catholic seminarians. They found that xposfr to pbr^^^^ is the strongest predictor of sexual deviance among the early age oj exposure subjects.

It should be noted, says the Hill-Link statement, that this research was contracted and financed by the commission, was in the hands of the commission staff for many montiis, is referred to many times in their report but not a single mention is made of these negative finds.
