Only Good Can Come Of Move

HIGHER AND HIGHER EDUCATION!

A Student Government Association representative from ECU was seated as a nonvoting member of the City Council last week.

Tim Sullivan, who is president-elect of the SGA took the seat and was welcomed by Mayor Percy Cox.

Cox said the representative will work jointly with the council in matters involving the university.

Sullivan commended the council for the move and the SGA for recognizing the need for city-campus cooperation.

Sullivan said he felt that citizens and students would benefit from the move and that the student seat would be taken seriously.

The move is believed to te the first in the state

involving a student representative sitting with toe municipal governing body.

We applaud the move. East Carolina University is a major part of our community in area, numbers of people and economically. The Student Government Association is a major governmental operation in itself, and the association administers large sums of money for student activities.

Hie ECU campus is intertwined with the dty and students shop and live within the city limits. There are many mutual problems and interests which need to be worked out between the city and student governments.

We think that only good can come of the move to seat toe student representative on the City Council.

Finding A Payroise In State's Deficit

Things are looking slightly brighter for a payraise for teachers and state employees with toe announcement last week by Gov. Holshouser concerning state revenues.

Holshouser said he and Democratic legislative leaders are working on an agreement for a budget plan to provide the raises.

THIS AFTERNOON

Businesses would send in withholding taxes monthly instead of quarterly as is the present practice, and the economic picture is also improving.

The six percent raise, which now seems likely, is not going to be satisfactory to everyone, but it will be a remarkable achievement considering toe recent ecdnomic picture.

By BILL NOBLITT RALEIGH Wherever problems are, only the involvement of people at the community level can bring about lasting answers, Lt. Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr., believes.

Hunt, in launching his bid for the Democratic nomination in the gubernatorial election, stresses the difference between executive decision-making and community involvement.

"People are upset, they've lost confidence, and theyve built up distrust of government and other institutions.

"We are not going to change that attitude in this state, or this nation, just because we get a new President, or a new governor, Hunt said as he relaxed following the hoopla of his formal entry into the race.

Whether the problem be local schools, the rising crime rate, industrial development, people have got to get involved in their own communities, with the people they know, in working out solutions to our problems.

A Catalyst

THE INSIDE REPORT

It has been proven that this approach works, and if Pm governor, I will not talk to people with the attitude that Well do it for you, but to have the office serve as a nerve center, a catalyst for involvement to mobilize citizens.

While Hunt takes a stand on issues, and generally embraces as central campaign elements the problems in education, crime, increased per capita income, and rising power rates, he insists that he "will not sit at the top and direct executive decisions,

One of his first orders of business should he win the race, Hunt says, will be to call together mayors, county commission chairmen, and members of his executive staff and cabinet.

And there, together, I will tell all of those involved that state government is here to serve you and to make it easier for your communities to accomplish the things which people in them want done ... all too often, state rules and regulations have stood in the way of such ef

forts locally, Hunt said.

As for the states move toward regionalization of government, Hunt thinks the Councils of Governments must be locally directed and oriented, rather than the imposition of another level of large government between state and local.

On capital punishment. Hunt says he would carry out the law, and is mulling the idea of a review panel to consider any last-minute changes in status before an execution is carried out.

He thinks a tax hike would not be necessary if government operates efficiently, and endorses a minimum five per cent pay raise for state employees including teachers.

On Crime

He favors increased training and pay for law officers, speedy trial legislation, and limited discretion for judges as steps toward bringing the crime rate under control, but insists that community involvement in prevention is still the most

workable solution.

A governor. Hunt says, should not try to be all things to all people and the super-leader, but should zero in on several important Tittle things and do them quite well.

For example, he suggests putting a push for "signicantly raising the ability of our children to read . . , measured by the output (student) rather than input (funds and programs).

Throughout his campaign in coming months will run the strongest them of all, however: community involvement.

North Carolina is a state of small communities. Perhaps many people do not understand this fact, and question the concept of getting people involved in their own communities in solving larger problems.

"But I believe that the rediscovery of that spirit of community involvement is the very thing it may take to bring back confidence in ourselves and the spirit of the people to improve their lives, Hunt thinks.

Jimmy's Enemies Emerg;

By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERT NOVAK

WASHINGTON-His narrow escape in Wisconsin so quickly flushed out a legion of eager enemies within the Democratic party scenting his blood that the limitation of Jimmy Carters presidential campaign became im

mediately clear: he is no stronger than his last

primary win.

Gratifying though Carters one-percentage-point win in Wisconsin was after being declared defeated by

television computers, it did represent a substantial decline from his own polls showing a comfortable victory over Rep. Morris Udall. More disturbing for him, election-day voter interviews give this ex

planation for his decline:

intense criticism of Carter for evasion on the issues, pushed hard in Wisconsin by Udall, is beginning to take hold.

Certainly the same tactics will be used for Pennsylvanias primary showdown April 27, where Carter must triumph or lose an essential momentum. The need for that momentum was shown by the joy with which both doctrinaire liberals and party pros seized on false notice of defeat in Wisconsin Tuesday night, proving that their apparent acceptance of the advent of Jimmy Carter was merely a grudging bow to grim reality.

The partys professionals rode a remarkable rollercoaster of emotions during a few hours Tuesday.

Wisconsin, Democratic insiders that afternoon began projecting Carter delegate totals. Their consensus: he would finally win between 1,000 and 1,200 delegates, within easy distance of the 1,504 needed to nominate. Ive given up, one party pro, fiercely committed to Sen. Hubert Humphrey, told us. Nothing can stop Jimmy.

That gloom turned to joy Tuesday night with the false Udall victory in Wisconsin. Some party old-timers ridiculously declared Humphrey nominated. The morning hangover that found Carter the winner after all, left the pros midway between their Tuesday afternoon low and Tuesday night high: no longer defeatist but far from certain Carters bandwagon was stopped.

Among both regulars and liberals, the presumption is that non-candidate Humphrey is the alternative. Liberals see Udall merely as a means of draining votes from Carter in Pennsylvania. As for Sen. Henry M. Jackson, April 6 was Black Tuesday. He ran more poorly than the worst expectations

in New York and Uhowed stunning unpopulanity in Wisconsin with a 7 pek^cent total.

With hope for Udall and Jackson crumbling, Humphrey efforts are being stepped up. Minnesota alliesSen. Walter Mndale, Gov. Wendell Anderson and wheeler-dealer Bob Short are starting a "Friends of Humphrey organization. Some 20,000 pro-Humphrey letters, signed by Reps. Bob Bergland of Minnesota and Paul Simon of Illinois, are being mailed to previous national convention delegates to dispute Carters inevitability.

Humphreys attractiveness to liberals was inadvertently enhanced Tuesday by Carters statement that he sees nothing wrong with communities trying "to maintain their ethnic purity. That is good general election politics, but it recharged all the doubts about Carter among liberalsincluding one Pennsylvania politician who had been on the verge of endorsing him. Im not a flaming liberal, he told us, but when I pick up this

Strength For Today

TAKE LOVE WITH YOU

The Bible is full of striking figures of speech. Sometimes important truths are presented to us in graphic and usual language which makes these truths stick in our minds.

For example. St. Paul tells his followers that they are to walk in love; not only to practice it and cherish it in I heir hearts, but walk in it. He means that wherever they go they are to take love with them. As they walk the streets and greet their

friends, they are so to have love in their hearts that men will be encouraged by their mere passing.

We all walk many miles each dayto and from work, about the house, through the mill, among customers, back and forth in the office. As we walk we are to take love with us. We should be aware that love is something God wants to see used out in the world as well as in the home, among business associates as well as among brothers.

Sets Tone Of Involvement

The Rhodesian Charade

The Rhodesian situation seems to be simmering un-certoinly these days, just keeping warm on the back of the stove. Before it heats up again, a few observations are in order. What we are witnessing is a nice joining of the New Morality and the Old Hypocrisy.

The New Morality wraps itself in lovely flags; democracy, majority rule, one man-one vote. The New Morality rejects all the old ugly vices: Racism,

colonialism, exploitation. For the past ten years, since Rhodesia declared her independence of Great Britain,

apostles of the New Morality have been preaching all these things.

We heard the preachments as to Angola and Mozambique, where the Portuguese boot was thought to trample on native rights. We hear the cries incessantly as to South West Africa. Freedom! Democracy! Nationhood!

Such allurements, as Secretary Kissinger knows well, are politically irresistible. The propagandists of the New Morality have done their work surpassingly well. Mr. Kissinger could not lift a finger in support of the governments of either

Other Editors Say Goofing Off

(TkeRsleigh Times)

The F acuity Senate) s role of parent bird pushing the fledglings from theacademic nestatN.C. Stats University is an admirable one

A situation that has been allowed to drift for too long has come to a head, as budget cuts and enrollment curtailment cause the universi^ to examine the work habits of students, many of whom are wasting space that could be better utilized by more serious and motivated students.

The faculty and administra don have cause for alarm Under a lenient policy adopted two years ago that allows a student to drop a course as late as nine weeks into the semester, the number of such drops has increased eightfold Such a policy encourages both laziness and indecision on students' pert and creates too-widely fluctuating class loads for the instructors.

Equally significant is the university's concern over the low class load students are carrying A class schedule of 18 hours per semester is geared to graduate a student in four years. At the end of the fall semester, however, B7 per cent of the freshmen and72 per cent of upperclassmen at State were taking less than 16 hours.

The student strike planned for Tuesday, in opposition to a Faculty Senate recommendation that would require a 16-hour load and would limit dropping a course without penally to the first four weeks, will merely emphasize to the public the need for the proposed changes The administiatiffii, if it is serious about Meeting an atmosphere of Academic realism, will tderate only limited demonstraoi of this sort

Although economic conditions that include job scarcity encourage students to remain in school, neither their state nor their parents can afford the expense of a prolonged education-period during which, asStatesChancellorJoab Thomas pointed out, many students run along at three quarters speed and take up space that someone else more willing and serious is being denied

The Faculty Senate in its welcome concentration on academic housecleaning is also recommending the return of the "D to the university grading system The latter should correct to some extent the grading largesse which, for example found last semester one of every four State students on the Deans List

Rhodesia or South Africa. The least friendly gesture hotward Salisbury or Pretoria would set the liberal wolf pack to howling. The United States cannot afford to be identified with the oppressors while the Soviet Union succors the oppressed. It is a pretty fix.

There is no satisfactory way out of it. But something may be gained, if only in terms of historic truths, if we strip from the New Morality its trappings of pretense and fraud. What stands revealed is the Old Hypocrisy.

The National Review Bulletin recently said what needs to be said: The black African nations do not object to the Ian Smith government because it is undemocratic but because it is white; the other nations of the world, from a variety of motives, are willing to help hide this fact that in truth is known to everyone. The Smith government is more accurately defined as a democratic oligarchy. One thing at least is certain: that if it goes, when it goes, it is not going to be replaced by democratic majority rule.

The editors of National Review took a look at the record. The Organization of African Unity is composed of 47 nations 44 former colonies that have gained their independence in the past generation, plus Ethiopia, Liberia and Egypt. Of the 47, at least 15 are open military dictatorships; 29 others are nominally civilian despotisms characterized by one-party rule. Only Botswana, Gambia and Mauritius retain a semblance of political pluralism.

The pending charade in Rhodesia fits exactly into this pattern. Let us suppose, to be grimly supposing, that Rhodesia is overrun by guerrilla freedom fighters," supporter by Cuban troops armed by the Soviet Union. Let us suppose that the new Communist masters of Zimbabwe have now seized all private property all the banks, mines, farms, stores, and the like. The 250,000 whites have been

Ford's

Tactics

Change

By FRANK CORMIER ;

Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - When President Ford resumes his campaign travels next week, he ] will try out a new tactic aimed j at encouraging increased new* i coverage of his activities. | Since the primary election ] season began, Ford has done most of his traveling on Fri-1 days and Saturdays a sched- ule compatible with the idea that his duties as President > keep him close to his White ! House office most of the time. The President and his strate- gists have discovered, however, ' that Saturday travel does not i yield as much news coverage j as they would like. Newspaper-* deadlines are early on Saturdays, and weekend television network news programs have far smaller audiences than those on weekday evenings.

The result is that Ford now plans to do his campaigning during the normal Monday-Fri-day work week, avoiding moat if not all out-of-town appearances on weekends. White House sources say.

Next week, for example. Ford will make a one-day b-lp to Indiana and Georgia, two states with upcoming primaries, prior to the weekend. The trip probably will be scheduled for Friday.

Then, on AprU 27-29, the President will make his second preprimary swing across Texas, after stopping enroute In Louisiana. This will be only his second three-day trip of the campaign.

Challenger Ronald Reagan, free of any official duties, obviously has been able to campaign far more extensively than the President. But some White House sources suggest Ford will be spending increased time on the road between now and the final primaries, including big ones in California, New Jersey and Ohio, on June B.

Should Reagan lop Ford in the May 1 Texas primary, where the President claims for himself an underdogs role, then Ford would have added motivation to do more campaign traveling.

Mrs. Ford, who has been making campaign trips on her own, has no encountered the Saturday news coverage problems that have troubled her husband. AH of her trips have come on weekdays.

40 Years Ago Today

April 13.1936

Plunging into the campaign wars after a rest at sea, President Roosevelt made final preparations today for his speech at a Democratic rally in Baltimore tonight.

New Deal supporters looked to the chief executive to indicate further the line the administration will follow in the big drive toward the November elections.

From this address, which will be made before the state young Democrats club, the party leaders are expected to take their cues for the campaign struggle.

Topping political interests tomorrow are the primaries of Illinois and Nebraska.

Although Chicago Publisher Frank Knox will oppose Senator Borah of Idaho in the Illinois Republican primary, Borah will be unopposed in Nebraska and Roosevelt will be unopposed in both states on the Democratic ticket,

Jersey City Turns Aggressive

By JOHN CUNNIFT AP Business Analyst

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) From the edge of this city of 262,000 people you can enjoy a grand view of the WaU Street *kylin*i 2,000 yards across the lower Hudson River, a three-minute subway ride aWay.

Several brokerage houses already have taken the trip to this, the second-torgest city in New Jersey, a city fighting to move ahead, eager to rebuild its Industry and image; and to utilize its proximity to New York.

Lower costs and an aggressive city administration bring the brokers here; where there are no stock or bond transfer taxes, and where space rentals are much lower than in New York. Some other taxes are lower too

But does Jersey Citys " prospectus," an imaginative promotional

folder designed to remind recipients of a stock offering, check out in all regard*! It doesnt seem so, but so far the critics apparently have been few.

Since last October, eight or more broker dealers have moved here, as well as the entire trading and sales operation of the big third market house, Weeden A Co About 16 are here now, and more might be coming.

Send for prospectua the ad advised The prospectus itself informs the reader thata firm with annual gross receipts of $5 million would incur operating costs in New York City of approximately $3.65 million compared to $2.575 million in Jersey City ... The conclusion apparently was drawn from a selected list of operating costs factors contained in an Area Development Council report published In 1973-1974, but the actual figures seem to have come from a late-1971 survey.

A spokesman for the Chamber of Commerce said a consultant chose seven firms in

each city, a smaU but "representative! sample, he main tained, and then went to work analysing operating costs as a per cent of total costs.

The tabulation shows 1.84 per cent of operating costs In New York were attributable to leased wires. Nothing was listed in the Jersey City column "This is exactly the way it came back to us, the spokesman said Postage amounted to 1.79 per cent in New Y ork, oniy .70 per cent in Jersey City. 1 can tell you thats the way it was reported to us, said the chamber spokesman Equipment rentals are shown as being one-fifth those of New York, in percentage terms.
