ERNEST L. PAR
RISH, a retired fireman,
views, the- extension of
Ae east-west expressway
and. an additional run
way at RDU as the major
problems A facing
Durham. He also favors
separate fircfighting and
police units; "Human
relations, I don't see no
decline," Parrish said.
JOHNNY "RED"
WILLIAMS, an energy
auditor, perceives hous
ing and downtown
economic growth as the
main issues. He favors
the construction of hous
ing for ' the needy and
revitalization of exisiting
structures. "A hotel
civic center can't do it
all," Williams said as he
called for the complete
revitalization of the Cen
tral Business District. In
creased mingling among
the race will aid
understanding, thereby
improving relations
Williams noted.
JOSEPH A.
MORGAN, SR., cited
the city's low tax base
and water problems as
chief concerns, He said
new businesses and in
dustry downtown will ex
pand the tax base, and .
extending water service
will aid economic
development. While race
relations can be improv
ed, Morgan says, there
has been no decline.
WARD 1
MS. JUDY HAR
WARD, an at-large
councilman, said hous
ing and the low tax base
are pressing matters. She
said the city should assist
and encourage private
investment to improve
housing' conditions, and
to create small businesses
downtown. "I do see a
decline in relations, '
especially in the political
arena. ( would, propose ,
an dWjofvVommUtee i
so that we can begin to
look at each other as in
dividuals and people,"
she said.
' TOM CAMPBELL, a
book store owner, views
community divisiveness
and the need to protect
neighborhoods as the
concerns he warjts tp ad
dress. "Racial divisions
have been a negative in
fluence on the city's
growth. People need to

be more conciliatory and
sensitive to others," he
said.V Neighborhoods '
should be protected from v
"unwarranted - commer--'
cial intrusion", : in
residential areas, and the
city's housing i' code
should ; be ;; enforced,
holding landlords ag
countable ? for
maintenance, Campbell
said. '' ,'
WARD 5
MS. SYLVIA 1 KER
CKHOFF, 5 ' cites
economic development
and housing as the most
pressing concerns. She
said the development of
downtown , ' must y go '
beyond a civic center, to
include more v small
businesses and housing."
She favors scattered low
income housing, but not';
large project complexes.
Human relations are bet
ter than in the sixties but
have declined in the last
year or two, she noted.
STEWART
PICKETT, JR., said in
creasing the tax base and
improving unity among
citizens are the two main
needs. Pickett, an at
large councilman, said
efforts have already
begun to entice investors
to Durham and that he
will continue those ef
forts. He said all citizens
should participate in the
expected growth of the
city. Relations among
different segments of the
community have not
declined but could be im
proved, he commented.
WARD 3
JOSEPH C.
SPAULD1NG, JR.,
NCCU student, cites
housing conditions and
unemployment as the
two major problems. He
favors the city encourag
ing private investors to
build more housing for
the poor and elderly as
well as renovating ex
isting structures. . To
reduce unemployment,
he favors economic
development by firms
that wil guarantee the
hiring of a certain
percentage of the locally
unemployed. On human
relations, Spaulding said
the issue is between the
"haves and have-nots."
The commercial growth
of , Durham should
enhance the welfare of
all citizens, he said.
RALPH HUNT, , in
cumbent, said increasing
the tax base and improv-.
ing human relationships
are the major concerns.
He said the council has
made strides . toward
developing K ' , , the
downtown area and
future development ' is
promising. He favors the
city, encouraging private
investment downtown.
Open land owned by the
city ; should ' also - be
developed to increase the
tax base. All segments of
the community ' should
cooperate in improving
the quality of life for all
citizens. Hunt said race
relations have
strengthened somewhat
recently because hardline
blacks and whites and
have begun to mellow.
"We are beginning to
realize that we are not
going to do this thing
split. We must sit down
blacks and whites
and develop a better
working relationship for
the good of all, he said.
MAYORAL
HARRY
RODENHIZER, incum
bent, said the low tax
base and the city's water
problems are the two
major problems. He said
over the last two years,
the council and other
groups have initiated
programs to stimulate
downtown development.
He cited the renovation
of the Kress Building,
the conversion of a Main
Street warehouse into
shopping areas and the
progress that tias been
made in getting a hotel
civic center downtown.
He said he will continue
to pursue programs
already initiated. He said
the impoundment of the
Little River reservoir and
the operation of another
sewage plant will also aid
the city's growth.,
Rodenhizer said race
relations are at' their
"best" and there has
been no decline.
CHARLES
MARKIIAM, NCCU
law professor, said the
main problem confron
ting Durham is its pre-:
sent leadership,' He said
a mayor in a council
manager .form v of
municipal government
is, except in rare cases,-:
basically powerless. He
said about all the mayor
can do is use the office as
a "bully pulpit" to raise
the aspirations and to in
spire ihe ; people a
role he said, the "in
cumbent Isn't ' filling' .
He said sound planning
and effective leadership
are necessary to solve the
community's problem.
On human relations, he
said, - "yes, we have a
divided community." He
said he leaches at the
most ; integrated law
school in the U.S., and
has support from all
segments of the city.

says that both candidates
are attractive and he has
been unable to choose
between the two of them.
Marcus, who has spent
a record half million
dollars in this campaign,
claims that his former
thirteen-year experience
in the Georgia State
Legislature can help him
get j financial support to
hclri , put Atlanta's
unemployed to work.
Young campaigned on
the need to bring private
investors into the city
and says that his ex

him in securing private
investments for the city.
Presently, both Young
and Marcus arc quietly
mounting support for
what many blacks see as
crucial election for the
city of Atlanta.
