three-week disappearance, drowned

his home in Raleigh, police said
Monday.
Major Tom Justice of the Raleigh
Police Department said he and a
police task force were satisfied that
no foul play was involved in Par
tridge's death.
"It doesnt look like a suicide, but
it could have been accidental,"
Justice said. uIn some cases, people
of disturbed mind may drown. I'm

Justice said a task force worked
on the case a total of 30 days,
beginning at the time of Partridge's
disapearance Jan. 25. 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.
"Anything could have moved the
body, and it wasn't visible until the
water level rose after the snowfall,"
Justice said.

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. If horse racing
is legalized, a new industry could be
created in North Carolina.
He said the industry would be
based on three tiers: breeding,
training and racing.

investigators said they thought
Partridge might have fled to Lub
bock, Texas, because he had heard
the town mentioned in a vision from
God while listening to the radio.
Partridge had been president of
Grimes Residence Hall and was
recuperating from a year of deep
depression when he disappeared.
York Morgan, a friend and hall
mate of Partridge, said memorial
services will be held at 4:30 Thursday
afternoon in Gerrard Hall, next to
the Campus Y building.
Morgan said the Rev. Al Trotter,
the minister from University Meth

before his disappearance, will speak

Andrews said he was trying to form

business people to increase the
strength of the CS A's proposal.

Terry said. Horse farms would

The field of applicants for the new
director of the Student Activities
Fund Office (SAFO) has been
reduced to eight, Dean of Students
Frederic Schroeder said Monday,
and he said he hopes a new director
will be selected by the end of March.
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. "WeVe had appli

roughbreds would create jobs and a
demand for feed and bedding, said
N.C. 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

the two industries should be

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. "We want some
body who is tuned into this kind of
job," he said. "Someone who can be
effective as a teacher and a coordi
nator and who's also a skilled
accountant."
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.

Williams, who helped write the
director's job description, agreed,.

Massachusetts governor

From Associated Press reports
BOSTON Massachusetts
Gov. Michael Dukakis
announced Monday that he
intends to become a candidate for
the 1988 Democratic presidential
nomination, saying he felt he had
the strength to run the country
although the odds against his
winning were "very, very long."
"With your help and with your

competing for the recreation dollar.
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. "Racing is not
based on chance, -it's based on
bloodline. But people will interpret
it as gambling if that's what they

board is aware of the needs of

"The director has to be able to

he said. He said he's confident the
board is using this as a basis for their
selection.
The Division of Student Affairs
and the Audit Board are working
together for the first time to find a
new director. Both sides said the
arrangement has worked out very
well.
"It has been very positive," said

to give time, money and prayer
to his possible presidential
campaign.
Robertson, president of the
Christian Broadcasting Network,
shuns the "television evangelist"
label, preferring to focus on his
Yale law degree, his business
experience at CBN and his con
servative roots.
Christianity, he said, is the
"bedrock" of American values.
He called for prayer in schools,

Andrews said the CS A's long
range proposition, if successful,
would include building a $65 to $70
million facility. He said horse racing
is a huge industry and introducing
it in North Carolina would be a
multi-stage process.
Terry said it would take from three
to four years to start a good racing
program.
Andrews said dog racing was
included in the package because it

"I feel like we're working with him.

Schroeder said that interviews for
