News From The
General Assembly
By Rep. Jaines D. Speed
RALEIGH ? The drive for
East Carolina College to be
come a university, separate
from the Consolidated Univer
sity, is probably settled so
far as the 1967 legislative
session is concerned; but the
seal's of the battle will remain,
and the ghost of East Caro
lina College will haunt many
politicians for two more
years.
The issue will be mention
ed many times by many people
before a new governor is
elected. All of the candidates
for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, during the camp
aign of 1968, will have to make
their pcsalons known long
before the primaries and
general election. Many leg
islators will also have to make
their positions known,
especially in the Eastern half
of the state, where there will
be no more fence-straddling
on this issue.
The depth of the incision
made on North Carolina poli
tics by the ECC fight will be
well diagnosed in the 1968
campaigns, and I predict that
East Carolina College will
become a separate university
soon after the 1969 session
convenes.
Further evidence of the tight
controls that have been ex
ercised by the Presidentofthe
Consolidated University, the
Executive Committee of the
Consolidated University,
Board of Trustees and the
Board of Higher Education has
been uncovered during the
East Carolina University
fight.
Several bills have been in
troduced to revamp the
membership of the University
Board of Trustees and to move
the office of the President
from the campus at Chapel
Hill to a more centrally
located spot.
These proposals will con
tinue to keep the heat on,
but the East Carolina Uni
versity supporters are show
ing little Interest in the pro
posed revisions. They will
continue to campaign for a
separate university on the
Greenville campus rather than
agree to come under the Con
solidated University's frame
work.
Last Monday night was the
technical deadline for intro
ducing local bills in the 1967
session and the result was an
unusually heavy flow of intro
ductions to beat this deadline.
Forty-six bills, mostly local
in nature, were introduced last
Friday and a total of 131 were
sent up in the House and Sen
ate on Monday night.
Although May 1 was the
deadline for Introducing local
bills I have cleared the way
with the committee on Rules
for the Introduction of several
additional measures pertain*
lng to Franklin and Warren
Counties.
A bill Is now being complet
ed which would make salary
adjustments for the elected
officials of Franklin County
and their staff. Little change
has been made In the origin al
ly proposed salary schedule
since the board of commis
sioners of Franklin County
along with many public citi
zens felt that the original bill
was fair and practical In every
respect. No one voiced any
opposition except the editor
of the Franklin Times. The
department heads of our coun
ty government who were af
fected by adjustment did ex
press a hope that the salar
ies could have been made
slightly more and also stated
that they felt there was no
discrimination as The Times
editor suggested.
Another bill Is being pre
pared at the request of the
Warren County board of com
missioners, superintendent of
Warren County schools and the
Warren County Board of Edu
cation to make a salary ad
justment of the members of the
Warren County Board of Edu
In addition, consideration Is
being given to a bill that
would add Franklin and War-,
ren to the list of counties
In the state which now make
It Illegal to abandon pets and
animals on the public roads
and highways.
