this project forward.
Members of this special
committee are J. R. Moore, Jr.

late Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Cockrell
of Nashville, and that construc
tion is now under way on six
new tennis courts.
MAINMEN

9:30 p.m.
Area Student Leaders
Urge Impeachment
Student body presidents
from Duke, UNC-CH, UNC-G,
and State announced plans to
make a “statewide coordinated
student effort” for N. C.
congressmen to urge that
impeachment proceedings
against President Nixon begin
immediately. .
In a statement endorsed by
all four student body presi
dents, Paul Price, coordinator
for the movement, gave two
reasons for the student
campaign.
“One, we believe that
Richard Nixon should resign
because he can no longer
pvern effectively,” Price said.
“Two, we believe there are
more than sufficient grounds to
impeach the President should
be refuse to resign.”
Price listed 12 reasons why
impeachment proceedings
should begin: (1) the Presi
dent’s authorizing the bombing
in Cambodia and the subse
quent cover-up, (2) the
President’s authorizing the
burglary, wiretapping and
surveillance of political dissi
dents, (3) the President’s
“plumbers” group as a secret
police corps, (4) the “suspicious
settlement” of the ITT case, (5)
the grain sale to the Soviet
Union (6) the dairy industry’s
campaign contributions follow
ed by an increase in dairy
products, (7) financing of the
President’s California and
Florida residences, (8) im
pounding of congressional
appropriations, (9) offering of
the FBI directorship to the
judge presiding over the Daniel
psburg case, (10) the
question of impropriety”
concerning Bebe Rebozzo and
Howard Hughes, (11) the
President’s dismissal of Archi
bald Cox as special Watergate
prosecutor, and (12) the
President’s “interference in the
pursuit of justice” in the above
allegations.
North Carolina’s represen
tatives must make a definite
positive stand on this impeach
ment issue,” Price said.
Failure to do so will give us, as
student body presidents, no
recourse but to consider action
in the up-coming congressional
elections.
Price said that in addition to
the student body presidents
assembled, support had also
come from Wake Forest,
UNC-Asheville, and Western
Carolina University. Plans for a
state-wide rally were also
discussed, with Sen. John
Tunney (D-Calif.) and Ramsay
Clark mentioned as possible
speakers.
Duke Chronicle
Tricks & Treats
at Lou. U.
Halloween night arrived at
Louisburg College, and with all
the ghosts and goblins that
terrorized the campus, it is a
night that will not soon be
forgotten, at least not for those
poor unfortunate souls with
8 o’clock classes on Thursday.
The fun began in mid-after
noon at a little gathering
behind Pete’s Pizzaria. Several
unidentified flying (?) objects
were sighted in the area, and
several members of the Brady
Bunch were reported to be in
the vacinity.
Now, back to the campus for
a delicious meal, so delicious
that several students decided
to share their food with their
friends. Result: Hamburgers,
French Fries, desserts, and
even some plates begin to fly
across the room. End Result:
Dean Settle pays a late visit to
the cafeteria...
While most students return
to the same activities they filled
their afternoon with, the more
civilized ones journey to the
theatre to watch the Players
put on Our Town (which was
excellent).
As an end (???) to an
invigorating evening, most
students gathered in the
cafeteria to dance away their
hostilities to the music of St.
Elmo’s Fire. After that, even
some of the girls who had an
extended curfew for the night
were too pooped to stay out
until 12:30, and retired for the
evening.
Things were held down to a
dull roar afterwards, allowing
most students to get to l^ed at a
decent hour, and another
Halloween night had passed
without any serious damage to
the campus. However, I’m sure
the janitors didn’t enjoy
Thursday morning very much,
either.
