Jr., Chancellor of Fayetteville State University chats with former President, left, Dr. Rudolph Jones at a recent reception honoring the retiring academician and administrator.

Others retirees honored' were Dr. Theodore Boushy, professor of history and political science; Mrs. Lillian Gainey, resident assistant,; and Dr. Stanko Guldescu, professor of history and assistant football coach. The event was held in the FSU Student Union, named in honor of Dr. Jones. (FSU Photo by John B. Henderson). Micfiaux, lloyall file For Re-election coffer, attended the Univ ersity of Virginia Law School, and Wake Forest. While some patients drop ' out of treatment for high blood ' pressure because they worry about the cost, they should keep in mind that the bill for a major illness later on is much higher, according ; to Albert A. Carr,0 MD, of the Medical College of Georgia i. in Augusta.' , ' ; Dr. Carr estimated that a patient ... with mild high .. blood pressure might expect ' to pay an . average of $193 a year for medication, physi ' cian fees and related medical , expenses. A person with severe high blood pressure would 1 likely pay $590 a year. I On the other hand, a person suffering a stroke as a result of untreated high blood pressure can expect a bill of $5,000, Dr. Carr said at a recent medical symposium. The bill, he said, does not take into consideration the income a wags earner would lost if the itroke were disabling. Dr. Carr is . chief of the Division of Hypertension and Clinical Pharmacology at the Medical College of Georgia. His remarks were, to physicians attending a Medical Horizons symposium, part of a postgraduate education series - sponsored by C1BA Pharmaceutical Company for doctors. Two Durham legislators H. M. Michaux and Kenneth C. Royall Jr., have filed for re-election in the house and senate respectively, making them the second and third members of the Durham dele gation to seek another term. Michaux, who has served in the house since 1972, said that he felt that his experi ence over the past two sess ions would put him in a "good stead" which would make him more effective in serving the people of the county and state. The 45 year old Durham native, who has served on 14 committees in the House, which included the Finance and Appropriations, said of the legislative session that ended last week, "I feel that we did the best we could with what we had. J was certainly disappointed that we were not able to give more of a raise to people that deserved it." ' He felt that the legisla ture would have a mandate to look at the pay structure for all state employees to make a more equitable scale once they reconvene in 1977. Michaux, who is also a member of the Criminal Codes Commission, said that he would like to see a more uniform system of sentencing which would not necessarily be a more rigid formula. The North Carolina Cen tral Law School graduate, who is married to the former Joyce Winston, is presently the executive vice president of Union Insurance and Realty Co., executive vice president of Glenview Mem orial Park in Durham and executive vice president of Apartments in Raleigh. Michaux is also a mem ber of the Durham Comm ittee on the Affairs of Black People and chairs its housing committee. He serves on the board of the United Durham Community Development Corp. After graduation from law school he was in private practice until 1969, when he became an assistant Durham County solicitor. He returned to private practice in 1972. He belongs to. the firm of Michaux, Michaux & Willis. Royall, 57, represents the 13th Senatorial district which is composed of Durham, Person, and Gran ville counties. He has been serving on the Legislative Service Comm ission, which handles legis lative business between sess ions. He also served as chair man of the Senate's Human Resources Committee, vice chairman of the Appropria tions Committee for Human Resources and several other committees. The Southern Govern mental Monitoring Project has listed Royall as one of the five most effective legislators in the General Assembly Prior to election to the Senate, Royall served three consecutive terms in the house which followed a ten year service on the Durham County School Board, eight of which he served as chairman. Royall, who is married to the former Julia Zolli- . LEGISLATIVE DAY i:CCU Debates Hade NX.
