NORTH CAROLINA- THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7. 196S Founded - February 23, 189: Humphrey Loses Narrowly -Nixon Pledges To Brim ericaii Peoiole Together Off AAA I RICHARD NIXON NEW YORK (UPI)-Richard M. Nixon, in his first speech as President-elect, Wednesday pledged that the major objective of his new administration will be to bring the American people together. Addressing about 500 supporters and newsmen from the stage of the grand ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, the 55-year-old Nixon said his administration will be an open one. "Open to new ideas, open to men and women of both parties, open to the critics as well as those who support us," he said. "We want to bridge the generation gap. We want to bridge the gap between races. "We want to bring America together and I am confident that this task is one that we can undertake and one in which we will successful." The President-elect was scheduled to leave New York late in the afternoon en route to Key Biscayne, Fla., for a few days rest. He planned a stop in Washington to visit former President Dwight D. Eisenhower who is hospitalized recovering from a series of heart attacks. Manors R Flvi ng WASHINGTON (UPI) -Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, former Gov. William Scranton of Pennsylvania, Lt. Gov. Robert Finch of California and former treasury secretary C. Douglas Dillon are rated good prospects for membership in the Nixon cabinet. Rockefeller, Nixon's strongest rival for the GOP nomination, would be a symbol of the party and national unity so highly valued by the president-elect. The New York governor has said he would not be interested in any Cabinet post other than secretary of state or secretary of defense. Scranton has been considered a-potential nominee, for secretary of state since Nixon tapped him during the camapign to tour Europe as his personal representative. Dillon has told personal friends he doesn't want to be secretary of state, but the consensus here is that he would serve if asked. Finch is one of Nixon's oldest and closest friends, and was a principal campaign adviser. He is considered a virtual certainty to be named to some cabinet post, perhaps attorney general. Also mentioned as possible candidates for attorney general arp F.velle Younger, district attornev of Los Nixon appeared nervous as he spoke. He rubbed his hands together and constantly shifted them from in front to behind his back. But he was happy and did not try to conceal his glee. Nixon held off making his victory statement until his Democratic opponent, Hubert H. Humphrey, had conceded. He said he had received a "very gracious message" from the Vice President congratulating him, and said he also spoke with him by telephone. "I congratulated him for his gallant and courageous fight against great odds," Nixon I said. "I admire a fighter, and hej proved himself to be one. He never gave up and he gave us a good fight. f 'I also told him that as he finished this campaign, that I Know exactly how he felt knpw how it feels to lose a close one. Having lost a close onp eight years' ago and having wcjn a close one this year, I can say this winning's a lot more fufi." Nixon won his second battle for the White House in Illinois, which gave John F. Kennedy his margin of victory' over Nixon in 1960. Its 26 electoral votes put the former vice president over the top after he had captured the 40 votes of his home state of California. With 93 per cent of all precincts reporting, the national popular vote was: Nixon 29,565,052-43 per cent Humphrey 29,539,500-43 per cent George C. Wallace 9,181,466-13 per cent The electoral vote was 299 for Nixon, 181 for Humphrey and 45 for Wallace, the American Independent party candidate. It takes 270 electoral votes to win. Contests remained undecided in Alaska, where Nixon was leading for 3 electoral votes, and in Maryland, where Humphrey was leading by 19,000 votes. Manland will count 35.000 absentee ballots on Thursday. The nationwide voter turnout appeared to be a record an estimated projection of 72 million persons. This bettered the 1964 record of 70.6 million. Nixon was beaten by the late President John F. Kennedy in his first trv for the presidency in 1960. Then in 1962 he suffered a galling defeat by incumbent Democrat Pat Brown when he sought the California governship. As his wife Pat, daughters Tricia and Julie, and Julie's fiance, David Eisenhower, stood beaming at his side, Nixon pledged to cooperate fully with President Johnson between now and his inauguration "in any activity that may be helpful in bringing peace to the world that we all (Continued on Page 6) "If one I J work'' P .

Bob Scott, who avoided any presidential coattails, claimed victory in the race for Governor Wednesday, but Republican Jim Gardner wasn't conceding. "Yes, I'm claiming victory," Democrat Scott told newsmen. "Results reported by the news media and our own polling show that we have a good margin." Gardner, however, noted the computer tabulation error which hit the news media midway through the vote processing, and said "There is no clear indication of what the final count will be." Gardner's- campaign' office announced he would hold a news conference in Raleigh's Carolina Hotel at 2 p.m. Thursday.

In other Orange County races, Hubert Humphrey claimed an easy win over both Nixon in second place and George Wallace in third place. Bob Scott ran up an almost two -to-one victory over Republican Jim Gardner in the Orange County gubernatorial race. Scott carried 21 precincts including the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area and virtually the whole County's Negro vote. In the race for the U. S. Senate, Democratic incumbent Sam Ervin defeated Republican Commissioner; Robert Morgan over Warren Collidge for attorney general; incumbent Henry Bridges over Theodore Conrad for state Auditor; incumbent Edwin Gill over Clyde R.

Scott had 793,209 votes to 716,622 for Gardner. What threw the outcome of the race into doubt was a flaw in the network election service (NES) computer in New York. Scott appeared on his way to victory and was planning a victory celebration when revised figures narrowed the margin. NES figures were inaccurate for several hours. , In., a statement. , issued . Wednesday morning, Gardner said the revised figures which narrowed Scott's margin from 80,000 to 20,000 in seconds were in line with his. "As of this morning, there has been no clear indication of what the final count will be," Gardner said. "I continue to be fully confident that the election will be in our favor." Scott said his "victory" was the result of "party unity," which developed after the primary. He urged his supporters and other members of the party to work together for the state in the months and years ahead.

However, if the offense has medical implications, the Judiciary Board (FASJAB) would handle the case. Students charged with drug offenses under the Jeffress act would be guaranteed all rights under the student constitution. If tried by FASJAB, the student would be granted the right to refuse to answer or testify in the grounds of self-incrimination, and would have the right to move postponement of his trial until after civil action.

For the charges of possession, those accused of possessing illicit drugs would be subject to action by the Honor (co-ed) Court. If cases of medical implications arise, these cases would be handled by FASJAB. Transfer is also considered an offense and cases falling into this category would be handled by the student courts if no medical implications are involved and by FASJAB in cases where medical implications are involved. The rights of the students in all areas of concern, (that is, rights under the Student Constitution, Right to refuse questions or testify, and the right of postponement) would be held in both the Student Courts and FASJAB. to 5,404.
