"Everybod> has been pleased with him."
Speaking t'oi Helms, Fuller said the senator
initially didn't know Allen is black. "He was
hired because he was qualified," Fuller said.
"His race had nothing to do with it. We don't
think in those terms."
A religious, soft-spoken person, Allen was
born in Philadelphia in 1960. His family later
moved to Washington and then to Raleigh. He
attended Sanderson High School and became
that school's first black student body president
in 1978.
Fellow conservatives have accepted him,
Allen said."l haven't received any negative
calls from conservative whites," he said. "And
~ T have gotten some positive calts fYom btacks.'^
Still, a number of students in Chapel Hill say
they have reservations concerning Allen's role
among the Helms forces.
' James Exum, a UNC junior from Charlotte
and a candidate for student body president,
charged that Allen was hired only^to be a token
on Helms' staff. "Claude has been ovetzealous
mi lining iu Lover up some 01 Helms'
positions," Extfm said. "(Helms) is a blatant
racist and his comments about King prove
that."
Last year, Helms opposed the creation of a
national holiday honoring Martin Luther King
Jr. saying King was influenced by communists.
Allen insists there is evidence to back up the
claim.
In 1982, Helms led the fight among conser;
vative senators against the extension of the 1965
: Voting Right Act, and he is also a long-standing
j Senate foe of court-ordered busing for school

Said a political observer from Raleig
"Claude is a nice fellow and has a brillia
future, but he is missing the boat. Jesse Heln
has done blacks across the state no favors sin
he was first elected as a senator in 1968 (tl
same year King was killed b> an assassin
bullet)."
But Allen said he will never regret his dei
sion to work for Helms. "1 can go through n
life saying that 1 did what I thought was right
he said. "I followed principles."
Allen could be the most famous pre
secretary Helms has ever had because Go
James B. Hunt Jr.'s bid to win Helms' Sena
-^seat has generated widspread medtfr cover ag
Both sides also expect a bitter campaign.
"We have not written off any vote," All
said. "We are going after the vote of Ji
Hunt's mom and dad."
Allen also said he was not hired to go aroui
the state and lobby blacks to vote for Helm:
implying that Ben Ruffin, special assistant
Hunt for minority affairs, was.
Ruffin, who is black, would not comme
specifically on Allen's statement, but did sa
"I'm not going to coerce anybody to vote Gc
Hunt. Blacks are going to vote for Hu
because they feel like they are part of his a
?ministration."
As for the much-discussed King holid
issue, Allen pretty much subscribes to Helrr
position. "King was instrumental in the ci
rights movement," he said. "It would be
disgrace to that holiday if it was proven that
was a communist. That would be an embarrai

h: Instead of a holiday for King, Allen proposes
nt the creation of a Civil Rights Da> to honor all
ns civil rights leaders such as abolitionist Frederick
ce Douglass and inventor George Washington
fie Carver.
i's Allen also favors using the mone> which
Helms maintains will be wasted b> the work
:i- stoppage on the King holiday to start a scholaris
ship program for black students in the name ot
the slain leader.
Allen holds many of the Helms' conservative
iss views. For instance, he praises the senator's efv.
forts to cut wasteful government spending on
ite social programs such as food stamps and
e. welfare^
"Fvervf hino Uolmc Hnac - I

en the free enterprise system helps blacks," All^n
m said. "It makes blacks more competitive in the
job market."
id Allen says he is a pro-life advocate and
s favors gun control as well as the death penalty,
to Abortion is genocide, he says, particularly
among blacks.
The media will exploit the race issue in this j
' election, Allen said, alluding to the campaigns
' of Chicago Mayor Harold Washington and
j Democratic presidential candidate Jesse
Jackson. "Here we go again with that black
~ and wfTile stuff again," he said. is'
44If Helms was for social programs, he would
vil be labeled as pro-black by the media," Allen
a'^said. "However, since he opposes many social he
programs, he is labeled anti-black," which,
ss- Allen said, "just isn't fair."
