The investiga tors combed the Raleigh area and all 50 states, but Partridge's body was not found for more than three weeks. "The body was mud-caked when we found it," he said. ln my opinion, it was underground when we combed the area the first time around.

Before finding Partridge's body. ina Sports Association, a pro-racing lobbying group directed toward N.C. legislators and prominent business people. The CS A is developing a bill to present to the General Assembly that would legalize horse and dog racing. Horse and dog racing is an "agri business" that would strengthen North Carolina's economy now that the state's tobacco program is declining, Terry said.

Ike Andrews. Andrews said he was trying to form a statewide committee of prominent business people to increase the strength of the CS A's proposal.

The search for a new director, being conducted by Schroeder and the student audit board, which oversees SAFO, is necessary because of the pending retirement of SAFO director Frances Sparrow. Originally, 40 to 50 people applied for the position, both from the University and from other places, Schroeder said.

Department of Agriculture spokesman Glenn Petty. He said realtors would also benefit because the new industry would increase the demand for housing. Petty said the state legislature is mixed about horse and dog racing. "There's no question that horse racing would be good for the horse industry, and it would filter down to being good for the whole (state's) industry," Petty said. Horse and dog racing has been compared to a lottery system, but Terry said the differences between the two industries should be and private accounting firms as well as from the University," he said. The director has to meet the qualifications stated in the job description, but the group is looking for other characteristics as well, Schroeder said.

Audit Board member Russ McEl roy said the director should have the ability to work with people and students, and should also meet the technical qualifications of the job.

A lottery generates $200 million through a voluntary tax, and is considered a form of gambling, he said. Horse racing, however, is a job and economic program that would generate $25 million annually. "Racing is a catalyst for creating economic development," he said. Andrews said some people would consider horse and dog racing as pure gambling. "Gambling means a game of chance," he said.

He said he thinks the board is aware of the needs of student organizations. "The director has to be able to work well with adults and students," he said.
