Carolina Review
ANDERSON lndependent
presidential candidate, John
Anderson was barred from the
N. C. November ballot last week
on a state constitutional
technicality.
The technicality (N. C.
General Statute 163-213.6) was
used as a vehicle by a number of
prominent state Democrats and
the National Democratic
Committee to keep Anderson
out of the November election.
Many Democrats feel An
derson’s candidacy will (or
would) drain more votes away
from candidate Carter than
candidate Reagan.
Anderson, however, might
find problems drawing votes in
North Carolina regardless of
how he runs or shows up on the
ballot. Recent disclosures by
Anderson suggest that he might
“reevaluate his candidacy”
should Ted Kennedy snatch the
Democratic nomination from
President Carter.
Already, the Republicans are
going to vote for Ronald
Reagan. And the Democrats
consider association with Ted
Kennedy almost as a kiss of
political death in this state.
Anderson’s original con
stituency in North Carolina
consisted of moderates who
could not vote for Reagan but
were dissatisfied with Carter.
Still, they could never align with
Ted Kennedy.
Meanwhile, Anderson
backers in North Carolina are
appealing the decision by the
Board of Elections.
CIRCUS—The triple murder
trial and eventual conviction of
Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald that
could almost be called a circus
(if not for the terribly tragic
circumstances surrounding it)

A three-judge panel of the U.
S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled 2-1 in Richmond, Va., to
overturn the conviction of
Chickadees and nuthatches

MacDonald reached in Raleigh
eleven months ago.
MacDonald was convicted in
federal court of brutally
stabbing his wife and two
young daughters to death in
their Fayetteville apartment on
Feb. 17, 1970.
MacDonald at that time was
serving as a Green Beret
doctor. He also suffered
multiple stab wounds during the
incident which he said occured
at the hands Os a group of
drugged hippies.
The jury in Raleigh decided
that the wounds were self
inflicted.
The court overturned the
conviction because of what is
called the “unwarranted
bureaucratic delay” in bringing
MacDonald to trial. That delay
(the entire case covers a ten
year span) according to the
court was in violation of the
doctor’s constitutional right to a
speedy trial.
The decision had nothing to do
with North Carolina’s version of
the Speedy Trials Act enacted
by the N. C. General Assembly
a couple of years ago.
The case is certain to remain
in the courts for some time to
come with appeals and counter
appeals likely.
TOBACCO—Most tobacco
farmers and N. C. Agricultural
Commissioner Jim Graham
were highly optimistic that high
prices this year would over
come the “soft sales” suffered
by North Carolina farmers last
year.
But in spite of record prices
paid on opening day last week in
Border Belt markets, growers
were disappointed and. as the
week drew to a close, the
disappointment in some cases
had turned to near panic.
Farmers are saying that even
good prices are not high enough
to keep pace with staggering
production costs in the tobacco
fields today.
Buyers are saying they don’t
have the markets.
At least one independent
expert has said that some of the
farmers are not sorting and
cleaning the tobacco like they
use to before bringing it to the
market.
Most agreed that it was too
early to tell just how good the
market would fare.
CONFERENCE Gov. Jim '
Hunt is attending the National
Governors Conference in
Denver, Colorado this week. He
is serving as the Chairman of
the Committee on Criminal
Justice and Public Protection
as well as the Chairman of the
Sub-Committee on Small Cities
and Rural Development.
Last week the governor was

CARDBOARD BOATS THAT REALLY FLOAT—Jim Gallucci, an instructor of art at the
University of North Carolina at Greensboro, gave his Design II art students an unusual
project this summer: to design and construct a boat out of cardboard, masking tape, glue
and wax that they could actually sail in. Dianne Babb, a junior from Edenton, shown, is 1
sailing in Gallucci’s second annual Cardboard Boat Race on UNC-G’s Piney Lake. Her craft
is sealed with four pounds of wax and required 50 hours to build. (UNC-G News Bureau

Boat Builders Test Skills
GREENSBORO-Art
students in Jim Gallucci’s
class at the University of
North Carolina at Green
sboro not only had to build a
boat this summer- but they
had to build it out of card
board.
Moreover, they had to
build it well enough to sail in
it themselves in what
Gallucci called his second
annual Cardboard Boat
Race.
In addition to cardboard,
the students also could use
marking tape, glue and wax.
The key to it all, the students
said, was liberal use of the
wax.
The final exam in in the
course was simple: Gallucci
carefully stepped into each
boat out at UNC-G’s Piney
Lake. If the boats supported
Chesapeake, Va.; and two
sisters: Mrs. Helen Juanita
Shean and Mrs. Thelma
Evans, both of Edenton.
He was a member of St.
Paul’s Episcopal Church.'
Graveside services were
held at 2 P. M. Friday in
Beaver Hill Cemetery with
Rev. Raymond Storie and
Rev. C. L. Brewer of
ficiating.
Pallbearers were : Melvin
Baker, David Jethro, Jim
Dail, James Dail, Albert
Ward and Oscar White.
him, the project was suc
cessful.
Gallucci said the boat
building project tested his
students’ skills in three
areas-design, construction
and resourcefulness.
“It’s a real education in
itself just finding cardboard
large enough and thick
enough to build a boat out
of,” he pointed out.
Using cardboard con
tainers that appliances
come in and the cardboard
tubes that carpet stores use,
the students taped and glued
their boats together and
sealed the crafts with wax.
“It would be easy to build
a sea-worthy boat out of
conventional materials like
wood or plastic,” Gallucci
said. “We wanted to show
the students what they could

The sermon topic selected
by Rev. Richard R.

morning worship service at

United Methodist Church is:
“Living the Christian Life.”
The text for this message is: (

As for this year’s second
annual Cardboard Boat
Race, seven of the eight
vessels went the 300 yard
distance, propelled by
students wielding self-made
cardboard paddles. Karin
Wruck edged out Harry
Hart at the finish line to win.
Gallucci has used card
board constrtucion in his
Design II classes before,
giving his students such
projects as making cars and
furniture out of the paper
product.
Now that the students
have made boats, Gallucci
is already thinking of new
challenges. “Maybe we’ll do
airplanes in the fall, when it
gets windy enough,” he
said, with a twinkle. “I keep
looking skyward...”
