From the moment he sprinted ~ with more ease and
flair than O.J. Simpson ? across the old airport terminal
runway last Wednesday to greet an array of anxious
reporters? it was obvious that Jesse Louis Jackson was a
different kind of presidential candidate.
Jackson, who arrived in Greensboro in an old orange

blazer and gray slacks, was bringing his Rainbow
Coalition to North Carolina for a breath-stopping,
two-day tour that included stops in Greensboro,
Winston-Salem, High Point, Raleigh, Durham, Oxford,
Kinston, Greenville, Norlina and dozens of places in between.
He addressed college students, a handicapped audience,
guests attending a $100-per-person fundraiser,
greedy reporters and church groups, all with the same
easy-going style.
But to all of them, the message was the same. "Our nation
needs more than a new president," Jackson said. "It
needs a new direction. It needs new priorities."
And Jackson said he stands ready to accept the task.
Jackson's largest crowd of supporters during his whirlwind
tour gathered in Winston-Salem on Wednesday

night for what had been dubbed a political rally but was
hard to distinguish from a Wednesday night prayer meeting
complete with choirs, preachers and a collection
plate.
Jackson's hour-long sermon to the congregation of
5,000 included strong criticism of textile firms that have
left North Carolina for "slave-labor" plants in South
Africa, the "undeclared war" in Central America, the
plight of small farmers in Missouri, President Reagan's
swelling defense budget, the inability of women's groups
to get the Equal Rights Amendment passed, the present
administration's insensitivity to the rights of the handicapped,
toxic waste dumps, second primaries, and j
more.
In short, Jackson addressed a rainbow of topics.
"It's time for a change," Jackson said. "It's time to
make room for the locked-out.... It's time to fight for
justice at home and fight for peace abroad."

tidbits we've gathered while following the
campaign trail:
He hasn't paid the required $76 filing fee, but Pat
Hairston, now a candidate for county commissioner, is
strongly considering withdrawing from the commissioners
race and filing for the state House.
"A lot of people have come to me since the plan (Forsyth
County's new state House redisricting plan) was approved,"
said Hairston. "And running for the state
House was my preference in the first place."
Hairston said he will make a definite decision by next
week. I f he runs, he will compete in District 67 against the
incumbent, Dr. C.B. Hauser, who is out of the country
and has yet to re-file under the new district set-up.
Hauser, does, however, plan to file before the April 30
deadline.
Hairston said he wants people to know that he would
not be running against Hauser, but instead running for a
vacant seat in the 67th House District....
A three-judge panel has approved redisricting plans
for Forsyth and five other North Carolina counties. The
approval of the plan divides what was previously the 39th
House District, comprising all of Forsyth County, except
the Belews Creek arfd Salem Chapel townships, into three
