People marvel at the courage d athletic ability of the riders. The group of one-wheel bikers was started at the beginning of the Tool year when Preston Mayo, an Elon freshman, brought his unicy- : to ride to and from classes. ”I got started five years ago,” Mayo said. “Someone stole my bike, d my uncle bought me a unicycle as a prank. I first attempted to le it, then gave it up for two years. “Then I thought of a new way to pick up girls: unicycling! Bingo!,’ e said. Darryl Hines, a junior, and Sam Walker, a freshman, became in rested in learning to ride the contraption and received instruction am Preston. The two students later purchased their own unicycles, j Hines said, “I got envious of Preston riding, so I asked him if I See Unicyclists, page 3 POLITICAL SPEECH: President Reagan, introduced as speaker at Broyhill-fbr-Senate rally in Raleigh, is flanked (from left to right) hy an unidentified Secret Service agent; Stuart Epperson, Republican congressional candidate from Winston-Salem, and Gov. James G. Martin. Photo by Robert Smith Reagan stumps for Broyhill By Kirk Mom’oe Special to The Pendulum RALEIGH-President Reagan came to the state capital last week for two hours and 20 minutes, which he used to boost the can didacy of U.S. Sen. Jim Broyhill, R-N.C., who is running against Democrat Terry Sanford. Reagan spoke for 27 minutes to a crowd at the Civic Center. Afterwards he posed for photographs with more than 100 people, who paid $1,000 each for the privilege. Doug Haynes, press secretary to Brcyhill, said the ral ly raised $40,000 to $50,000 for the senator’s campaign. Earlier this year Broyhill was appointed Gov. James G. Mar tin to the Senate vacancy created by the suicide of Sen. John East, R-N.C. Reagan had attended another campaign rally for Broyhill last June in Greensboro. Haynes told The Pendulum that news media coverage of Reagan’s visit “has been and will be tremendous. We could not buy this kind of advertising. Sanford doesn’t have anyone who could draw as many people as this.” A pre-rally program was emceed by Carl Venters, a retired Raleigh broadcast executive who coached the crowd to chant “Broyhill—Reagan.” The Enloe High School Band and the Meredith College Choir also per formed. Much of the balcony was occupied by elementary school students. Broyhill himself did not attend the rally because he said he need ed to be in Washington to vote in the impeachment trial of federal judge Harry Claiborne. A brief message from Broyhill was broad cast via satellite on two large TV screens in the Civic Center. At 11:40 a.m. Gov. and Mrs. Martin came onto the platform where local GOP candidates were and Mrs. Broyhill joined them. They were greeted by a crowd waving American flags and posters of Broyhill, which had been passed out by the senator’s staff. Reagan opened his speech by mentioning the Iceland summit meeting with Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev, which Reagan was to begin the next day. During his remarks, he poked fun at Broyhill’s opponent, Sanford, a former governor of North Carolina. Sanford, Reagan said, “was a pro at raising taxes; he was rais ing taxes back when I was still making movies.” The president thus reiterated one of Bruyhill’s campaign themes, that Sanford in stituted a tax on food during his term as governor in 1961-65. The Sanford campaign has responded that the tax revenue was used to improve public-school education in the state.
