lazardous speculation to assume
xjt Dr. Humphrey will be able to
M the wounds of bitterness
kefore November. However, it
#ould be somewhat less
Ijj^ardous to predict that George
Wallace gained millions of
fence-riding votes as a result of
(lie inability of the Democratic
leadership to.maintain order at
their own convention
ard,
the
-fo complicate Humphrey’s
nosition further, a CBS news cast
reported that he had sanctioned
Qiief Justice Earl Warren, a man
nften characterized as “soft” on
crime, as Eisenhower’s best
political appointment. FBI
Rector, J. Edgar Hoover’s recent
warning that widespread attacks
on educational institutions this
fall ate being planned by the
radicals who laid seige to the
Democratic Convention in
Chicago, simply added fuel to the
gte. Reports of this nature
facilitate the efforts of both the
Republican and the American
Parties. This fact is underscored
hy George Meany’s statement that
thousands of AFL—CIO members,
hitherto loyal Democrats, will
likely desert the party in favor of
Wallace’s plank on law and order
in the coming election.
In a day when the Gallop Poll
shows that nearly seventy per cent
of the American people believe
that the courts are too “soft”, one
would think that a staunch liberal
and a Warren admirer like
Humphrey would be whistling in
the wind to seek the Presidency.
Yet many hopeful Democrats
point to the Democratic victory in
1948 when Truman faced a third
party and was tagged for defeat.
Also there remains the possibility
that Humphrey can unify the
Party with or without McCarthy,
and pull out a victory in
November.
The Vietnam situation will
continue to be a factor until the
last vote is counted. However,
should anoter Tet offensive cause
a severe U.S. setback, Nixon
might well be swept right into
office. There is also the reality
that a few more “Clevelands”,
“Chicagos”, “Newarks”, and
“Watts”, combined with a close
Republican-Democratic race,
could do the impossible. Yes, it
could bring George Wallace the
victory which he has for a year,
spent over $60,000 a day to
achieve. Inconceivable? That
seems to be the most appropriate
term for this election year. After
all, who would have believed that
LBJ could have, or would have
bottled his ego, swallowed his
pride, and pulled out of the
Presidential race? What soothsayer
envisaged that McCarthy could
have started with no funds, no
>hly organization, and little support,
land built such a mass loyal
following? Thus caught in his own
5{{s (wake, he was left no choice but to
(advance uncompromisingly upon
(the Democratic Convention,
opening Pandora’s box of
dissention, divisiveness, mistrust,
and bitterness. What Democrat
would have dreamed that the
most liberal bastion of democracy
in the United States- the
Democratic Party- would be
dealth perhaps a moral blow by
those whom it sought to defend?
And what prophet gave even a
second thought to the possibility
that the liberal landslide of 1964
would, in only four years,
backslide in the wake of a
Republican two-time loser and an
Alabama reactionary?

Gold Diggers To All
In the
1968-1969
the
one
publication of
GOLD DIGGER,
of the most important features
was ommitted, through no fault
of the editor or staff. The
ommission was the Student
Responsibility clause which, due
to an agreement among editors,
has been traditionally included on
the inside back cover of THE
GOLD DIGGER. The clause
appears below and is well worth
the effort to remember it.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
EACH STUDENT IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
PROPER COMPLETION OF HIS
ACADEMIC PROGRAM, FOR
FAMILIARITY WITH ALL
REQUIREMENTS OF THE
UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE
UNDER WHICH HE INTENDS
TO GRADUATE, FOR
MAINTAINING THE GRADE
AVERAGE REQUIRED, AND
FDR MEETING ALL DTHER
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS,
INCLUDING ATTENDANCE AT
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
AT WHICH HE WILL RECEIVE
HIS DIPLOMA. HIS ADVISOR
WILL COUNSEL HIM, BUT THE
FINAL RESPONSIBILITY
REMAINS THAT OF THE
STUDENT.
A STUDENT IS REQUIRED
TQ HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF
AND O BSERVE ALL
REGULATIONS PERTAINING
TO CAMPUS LIFE AND
STUDENT DEPORTMENT, AND
TO BE FAMILIAR WITH THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED
IN THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER.
HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
MAINTAINING COMMUNICA
TION WITH THE UNIVERSITY,
BY KEEPING ON FILE WITH
THE RECORDS OFFICE AT
ALL TIMES HIS CURRENT
ADDRESS, INCLUDING ZIP
CODE, AND TELEPHONE
NUMBER.
EVERY STUDENT, WHILE
HE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
UNIVERSITY, IS EXPECTED
TO COMPORT HIMSELF IN
CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY
LIFE IN A MANNER THAT
WILL REFLECT CREDIT UPON
THE UNIVERSITY.
To restate and update the
language employed in the clause,
the Journal suggests the
following:
Look out for your own class
standing and q.p.s. and know all
tire rules. Once you’ve learned the
rules, don’t break them. You have
to pretty well look after yourself-
until you make a mistake. Once
you make a mistake, yop won’t
even have to search for help -
somebody will already know it.
This year’s GOLD DIGGER is
available to all students. Those
who have not yet received their
copys yet may pick them up at
the Union information desk. THE
GOLD DIGGER is an SGA
publication.
ROGUES ‘N RASCALS, will be
made during the week of
September 23-27 in room 215 of
the University Union. Boys are
requested to wear a coat and tie;
blouses will be provided for
thegirls. Students do not need to
have an appointment to have their
pictures taken. However, they
must come to be photographed at
a time convenient to them on the
day set aside for their particular
class. The following schedule will
be observed:
Monday, Sept. 23-Sen-
iors-12:00- -6:00
Tuesday, Sept. 24-Juniors-
9:00-12:00. 1:00-6:00
Wednesday, Sept.
25—Sophomores—9:00-1 2:00,
1:00-6:00
Thursday, Sept.
2 6- - F r e s h me n - -9 ;00-1 2:00,
1:00-6:00
Friday, Sept. 27-Freshmen-
-9:00-12:00. 1:00-6:00
The yearbook staff can make
special arrangements for those
unable to have their pictures made
on their appointed day.
Due to the financial state of the
yearbook, a $1 sitting fee must be
charged. This $1 fee guarantees
the student a yearbook with his
picture in the class section. It does
not obligate him to purchase any
of his class portraits.
It is expected that a large
percentage of the total number of
student enrolled will turn out to
have their class portraits taken
this year.' the pictures are being
made by Smith Studio of Raleigh,
the same photographers that made
last year's class pictures. This is a
reputable company that does
superior work for many colleges
and universities in this area, and
the yearbook staff is confident
that the student body will be
pleased with their portraits.
Students are encouraged to make
every effort to have their class
pictures made during the coming
week.
ON
THE
LIGHTER
SIDE
Inconceivable, impossible,
perhaps insane, but nevertheless -
indisputable. What will result
from the murky mystery which
surround America’s parliament of
political paradoxes? Who will
survive the coming November
storm? Certainly it is too early to
answer such questions, but a guess
now might well be as good as a
guess the day before the election
in this election in this turbulent
year of consistent political
miscalculations.
The Cotswald Civitan Club is
interested in forming a Collegiate
Civitan Woman’s Service Club.
Any interested women on campus
should contact either Dean
Donald M. MacKay in the
University Union or Dr. Darryl
McCall in the English Department.
