Attorney General Morgan
Talk: At UNCG Workshop
“The people can not support
me and my committees unless
they know what I am trying to
do. This is why I feel the news
field is vital.”
North Carolina’s Attorney Gen
eral, Robert Morgan opened his
Saturday, Jan. 28 press conference
by praising the Mass Media. The
press conference was held at the
luncheon of the Second Annual
Journalism Workshop on the cam
pus of UNC-G.
Morgan said that he felt the
consumer laws in North Carolina
were “adequate, but not strictly
enforced.” In response to a ques
tion concerning the legalization of
Marijuana, Morgan said that he
feit that it should not be legal
ized. He also added that it was
entirely different from prohibi
tion. “Liquor was a part of
American life, where Marijuana
can still be controlled.”
Robert Morgan's main concern
is the doctor-patient ratio in N.C
We now have 103 doctors to every
10,00 people. Morgan stated “Hu
man life is much more important
to me than education. N.C.’s edu
cational system, while not in the
top ranks, it is adequate.” Mr.

ball and football. She thinks
Grimsley is a fine school though
it is not totally new to her as
she did her student teaching here
only a short while ago. Miss Ro
land is from Warrensville, N.C.
“a small village in the Blue
Ridge mountains,” and graduated
from UNC-G.
Mrs. Joyce M. Parker teaches

Though Grimsley is the largest
school in which she has worked,
she is very impressed with it and
thinks the students are friendly
and eager to learn. She enjoys
cooking, sewing, reading, and has
currently taken interest in foot-
bali.
Grimsley is also familiar to Mr.
Fritz Carrier who attended GHS
as a high school student. A teach
er of reading and EOC, he finds
the atmosphere of Grimsley very
enjoyable and lists as his hob
bies motorcycle riding and re
storing antique automobiles.
