t The results are in and the
' Deomcratic candidates won
» close but decisive victories over
a their Republican challengers in
> the 1980 A.C.C. mock election.
» The mock election held in
^ Hamlin Student Center on Oct-
I ober 22-23 is considered an
unqualified success as a record
breaking number of nearly five
hundred students and faculty
rushed to the polls to cast the
• deciding” vote. As the voting
booth closed and all the votes
were tabulated, it became ap
parent that the Democratic
candidates Jimmy Carter, Jim
Hunt, and Robert Morgan won a
tight and well contested battly
- over their Republican counter
parts Ronald Reagan, 1. Beverly
Lake, and John East.
The results were extremely
close between the presidential
candidates, Jimmy Carter.
Ronald Reagan, and John
Anderson as four hundred fifty-
three students cast their vote for
one of these contenders. The
Democratic nominee, Jimmy
Carter won with two hundred
and four votes or forty-five
percent of the student vote. In
turn, the Republican candidate,
Ronald Reagan received one
hundred ninety votes or as
shown in a percentage, 41.9
percent of all votes cast by
students. Thus the race was
extremely close in that only a
fourteen vote spread separated
the two candidates. John
Anderson running as an Inde
pendent received 56 votes or
12.4 percent of the student
vote. Three names were written
in, Barry Commoner, Ed Clark,
and Gerald Ford who each
received one vote.
Among the faculty of which
J_Lc.
forty members voted, the re
sults were also very close in the
highly contested presidentila
race. Again President Carter
won a narrow victory with 16
votes or 40 percent of the faculty
who voted. Governor Reagan
received 14 votes or 35 percent
of the faculty vote and John
Anderson won 9 votes or ap
proximately 22.5 percent. Again
Barry Commoner recieved one
write in vote.
In the gubernatorial race.
333 students voted and Demo
cratic candidate Governor Jim
Hunt won a landslide victory
with 269 votes to Republican
challenger 1. Beverly LakA 64
votes. In terms of a percentage,
Hunt won an overwhelming 80.8
percent of the vote to Lake 19.2
percent thus scoring a decisive
victory for the Deomcratic
Party. Among the faculty. Hunt
won 28 of 40 votes cast com
pared to Lake^ 12 votes. The
Morgan was not quite as great
between the candidates in the
faculty vote for Hunt achieved
70 percent of the vote to Lake's
30 percent. However, in both
votes the Democratic candidate
scored an amazing victorN’.
In the Senatorial race, the 326
voting students gave a victory to
Democratic incumbent Robert
Morgan over E.C.U.'s John
East. Morgan won 188 votes or
57.7 percent compared to East's
42.3 percent. Among the faculty
of which 39 voted in the Sena
torial race, Morgan won with 26
votes or 66.7 percent defeating
East who received 13 votes or
33.3 percent of the vote.
Thus, the students and facul
ty at A.C.C supported the
Dcnux'ratic candidates in all
three raccs. Although Carter
won by a narrow lead over
Reagan in both voles, the
gubernatorial race pr«ved to be
a huge landslide in favor of the
incumbent and obviously pop
ular, James B. Hunt, Jr. The
senatorial race also proved to be
very close, although students
w ere more prone to vote for East
than were faculty.
Both the Young Democratic
Club and the Republican Club
would like to thank all those who
undoubtedly made this election
a huge success by turning out in
record numbers to cast their
vole. Indeed, ti shows that
A.C.C. is active and that many
are interested in the election
process. Thank you very much
for your participation in (he 198()
A.C.C. mock election.
The Tachion Mums! Franz Liszt
The word “Tachion” is prob
ably a very strange word to most
of you. In fact, when 1 first
heard it, it was Greek to me
indeed. Actually, “Tachion”
means “to outrun” in Greek.
So, in case youy haven’t
guessed yet, the Tachion is a
race. It is the Campus Life
10,000 meter run held at 9:00
a.m., Saturday, Nov. 8 in
Raleigh. N.C. The purpose of
the race, to quote the official
theme is “For the one following
the principles of God’s Word for
Life’s pattern, the challenge set
is to outrun, in otherwords to
become the victor over anything
that would prevent or hold back
onefrom becoming Christlike
and rightly bearing the name of
Christian.”
This race will pit the track
teams that represent various
Christian organizations around
the nation. We at Atlantic
Christian College ought to take
pride in knowing that our own
Alpha Omega Christian Fellow
ship has entered a track team.
The team consists of Stefan
Dentzer, Joe Stallings. Bobby
Gardner, Steve Gray, Susan
Lamb, Colleen Cucchiara, and
Bethanne Ludeman.
This great race will start
promptly at 9:00 a.m. at the
Capitol Building on Hills
borough Street and end on the
Paul Derr Track at North Carol
ina State University.
This race also features the
Reverend Jeff Wells, the second
place finsishers in the 1978
Boston Marathon. It is spon
sored by Triangle Yough for
Christ.

Pianist Robert Guralnik. in
costume as Franz Liszt with full
set and lighting will present his
new one-man musical and
theatrical evening called "To
night, Franz Liszt,” on
Wednesday, Nov.5. at 8 p.m., in
Howard Chapel, on the Atlantic
Christian College campus.
A number of years ago the
New York director. Harold
Guskin. attended the Carnegie
Hall recital of Guralnik, The
performance ended with Liszt’s
“Transcendental Etudes.”
Guskin was so startled by
Guralnik’s virtuosity that years
later, after they had collaborat
ed on a new concept in one-man
shows. “Chopin Lives.” he felt
he had to write a theatrical
program based on Liszt for
Guralnik.
Happily, audiences were so
excited by "Chopin Lives,” that
they were more than ready to
see the new music-drama "To
night. Franz Liszt."
Guralnik portrays the aging
Liszt reliving great moments of
his life -- flaunting the Tzar, his
many love affairs, his great
successes, his failures, his in
fluence on Wagner, and much
more.
The performer plays many of
Liszt’s great piano pieces as
part of the drama. The audience
will understand why Guskin has
to write the program when they
hear Guralnik as Liszt play "La
Campagnella” early in the first
act.
The performance is sponsored
by the Concert and Lecture
Committee at Atlantic Christian
College. The event is open to
the public free of charge.

William Hilliard at the Univers
ity of Kansas.
Grants to support these
Newspaper Fund programs
came from Dow Jones & Com
pany, Inc., and the sponsoring
newspapers and wire services.
Salaries of the editing and
minority interns also were paid
by the newspapers that hired
them for the summer.
These internship programs
help students to become profic
ient in all phases of copyediting
and headline writing, and as a
result sharpen their skills for
professional news work. The
