NUMBER TWENTY-ONE
After two years as Dean of
Men and resident counselor at
Atlantic Christian College, Jack
Stelljes is moving on. In a recent
interview with The Collegiate
Stelljes talked about his job here
and his reasons for leaving.
The main impetus behind the
Stelljes’s decision to leave ACC
was the fact that as part of the
job they were required to live in
a dormitory. Stelljes said that he
has been here two years and that
he wants a job that will enable he
and his wife to live off campus.
According to Stelljes this was
the sole reason behind his
resignation although he later
added that if the college would
permit him to live elsewhere, he
would still leave at the end of
this year.
Next year the Stelljeses plan
to move to New York state
where he
hopes to be
involved in a
college situa
tion dealing
with counsel
ling and or
student
vities.
When
whether
not his
acti-

asked
or
youth
was an advan- STELLJES
tage or a disadvantage here at
ACC Stelljes felt that in working
with the students his youth
enabled him to relate sincerely
to the students. As far as the
faculty and administration are
concerned it is varied whether or
not his youth could be considered
an advantage.
Generally Stelljes felt that he
has not been frustrated in his
role as Dean of Men although he
pointed out that the job is not
without disappointments and
frustrations. He added that if he
could move the calendar back
two years knowing full well the
problems involved with the job,
he would come here again.
As for the slow rate of change
here, Stelljes said he felt that in
two years he has noticed a
number of changes but added
that he thought the drinking
regulations need changing very
badly.
Stelljes said he did not know
who would follow him as Dean of
Men but suggested that we can
anticipate a young couple with
no children who plan to stay for
about two or three years.
Demos Seek
Young
Delegates
Why will the 1972 Democratic
National Convention be different
than the last one?
For one reason, young people
will be represented as delegates
and alternates, taking part in the
Presidential nominating
process. Of course 18-year-olds
can vote in state primaries and
precinct caucuses. But some of
them will also be able to vote at
the National Convention in
Miami Beach.
Democratic National Com
mittee reform guidelines
adopted last year require each
state’s delegation to the National
Cenvention to include 18- to 30-
year-olds, with vote, in
proportion to their numbers
within the state.
YOUTH CAUCUS ’72, an
organization of students and
young working people, has been
formed to insure that this
mandate is carried out. Working
within the Democratic Party,
they are looking for young
people who want to run for
delegate and alternate positions.
They are proving a
clearinghouse service for state-
by-state information on how to
become candidates for delegate.
They are putting young potential
delegates in contact with the
various Presidential campaigns.
Equally important, YOUTH
CAUCUS ’72 maintains com
munication with Democratic
State Chairmen, informing them
of youth within their states who
are interested in seeking
delegate and alternate slots. It is
these State Chairmen on whom
the burden lies to insure that
their delegations are blanced
with respect to age.
YOUTH CAUCUS ’72 is calling
for 29.4 per cent of the National
Convention delegates and 29.4
per cent of the alternates to be-30
and under. To reach this goal.

Bowles: Compensate
Crime Victims
Democratic candidate for
Governor Hargrove “Skipper”
Bowles said Saturday night that
if elected he will recommend to
the General Assembly that it
make plans for compensating
innocent victims of crimes.
In remarks delivered to a
Bowles-for-Governor rally the
former state senator from
Greensboro said, “We find in our
great American society that we
think almost nothing of spending
half-a-million dollars to conduct
and investigation and lengthy
trial of a murder suspect, but
nothing is done by the state for
the family of innocent victims of
the crime
“Congress has toyed with the
idea of providing payment to the
families of these innocent vic
tims, but like so many other
good ideas nothing concrete has
yet been developed on it.”
Bowles told the supporters at
the rally that in recent years
there have been “entirely too
many cases of beating, shooting,
or crippling of the lone operator
of a grocery store or a service
station or other small business.
“Probably without exception
the person who was injured or
killed provided the sole source of
income to an entire family. The
family of the victim could look
forward to nothing but financial
ruin while the breadwinner
recuperated if he was lucky
enough to escape being killed in
the encounter. And, if he was
killed, the compensation to the
family was nothing more than
whatever insurance he might
have had. All too often the man
had no insurance.”
Bowles said that six states are
providing compensation for
innocent victims:
Massachusetts, New York, New
Jersey, California, Hawaii and
Maryland.
“Here, again, is an op
portunity for North Carolina to
lead the South. ” Bowles said.
