‘r?: FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER BDITOlt JOHN ANDERSON ■ TIP to visit as We had last week. He was I& Dean W. Cel wi iraMot of the Uni wnhy of North Carolina at Charlotte. He enjoyed playing beauti fal Glen Cannon Golf coarse, and "he was aMst impressed with the growth at Brevard College. Dr. Cohrard taught on the local campus in the nU Ms, and he said It was quite a •different place then. In fact, he was in charge of the form toe, and it was indeed a pleasure to hear him remi nisce. "I hear you’re going to tear my rock wall down,” he kidded us. We told him that we were trying t6 get somebody to do just that for the rocks. Then he told us about the struggles he had getting those rocks hauled from the French Broad river to the College by mule-drawn wagons. In addition to his duties at the College, Dr. Colvard served as water Inspector, milk Inspector, sanitarian and other jobs for the town and county. T remember I had to in spect the two dairies once a month. "The Glasener Dairy and the Osborne dairy, which I understand is stfll operat ing." He recalled that the College had one of the few tractors in the county. Instead of tires, it had metal cleats that soon wore out. Since his budget was limited, he wrote to Mr. Firestone himself and said .the College was inter ested in the new rubber tires for tractors. He didn’t even ex pect an answer. A few weeks later, however, factory representatives drove up with new wheels and tires. They were given with the compliments of Mr. Firestone, and Dr. Colvard said the new wheels and tires were probably worth a lot more than the trac tor itself. He said he would never forget meeting the Chairman of the Board of County Com missionera. It was his first day in Bre vard, and he decided to stroll up the hill and see the busi ness section. Half way np, he met a man driving a horse and wagon. He stopped. Hitched his lines to the brake, hopped down and asked: -‘You’re the new man at the College, aren’t you?” ‘‘My name is Allison and I’m chairman of the Board of Commissioners and I’m a NOW OPEN!

He deserved a few moments of relaxation because running that University is a terrific job. After all, it is the fastest growing University in the South! We’re also happy that Dr. Colvard is going to bring his Deans and their wives to Tran, sylvania this fall for a retreat. The red carpet is out. Borrowed . . .

The smitten young fellow telephoned his girl and she explained that her father wouldn’t let her go out again until she had brought her grades up. After an hour or ( more of billing and cooing 1 on the phone, the boy friend ■ made one last desperate try. ' “Darling, can’t you come out even for a few minutes?” 1 he begged. “I want to see you i to the worst way.” The girl’s father who had been trying to use the phone happened to lift the exten sion at that moment and said bitterly, “Well, young man, I suggest you come ov er before breakfast some morning.” Homecoming At Dunn's Creek This Sunday Homecoming will be observed at Dunn’s Creek Baptist church Sunday, June 20th.

On a recent day Sen. Henry Jackson, D-Wash, warned that Senator Jackson Warns of Dem defeat CUI, BBBUIUW IMUUU WAiniUI§V • • t w ■iwmyip ing to steal the Democratic pOrty from th* people.” While the hawkish Washington Democrat tempered his remarks by saying that no leate ing party leaders ore actual members of the “radical left-fringe,” he added: 'It is quite dear that some run the risk of marching te Its drums. “They are having trouble hearing the volte of the people because the noise from the ate solute left is so loud. I am afraid that bp wooing this faction, by apologizing for it, by excusing It and glorifying it, the Democrat!* Party can be dragged down to defeat.” The same day left-wing Sen. George Mte Govern, D-S.C., was charging that his fellow Democratic contenders were losing their crate ibility by talking' military budget cuts while voting: against tha reduction of U.S. forces in Europe. For the first time in his campaign be called names—Senator* Edmund Muskie, D-Maine, and Hubert Humphrey, D-Mlnn.— and asserted that they have suffered “a serious blow to aaf credibility they have." • • • • • MUSKIE OUT FRONT—Things are looking: good for tbfr Democrats in the polls, however. In California they show Muskl* holding: a slight lead over President Nixon in his home state. National polls indicate Muskie is well ahead of the Republican President And of possibly greater importance, early polls in presidential primary states give Muskie a commanding lead against other Democratic contenders. But the battle for the nomination has hardly begun. And tho months of intra-party fighting that lie ahead could do much tn collapse the now-promising challenge to President Nixon. Henry Jackson—Washington’s "Senator from Boeing," tha defender of the SST and U.S. military superiority—has next to no chance to win the Democratic presidential nomination. * • • • • SCARS AHEAD—But this political posture represents tho views of the so-called working man—long the backbone of tho Democratic party. If and when he launches a serious bid for tha nomination, his charges that the party is in danger of being captured by the radical left will leave the Democrats and their presidential nominee scarred. George McGovern — the defender of anti-war demonstrations and draft dodgers—has an out- McGovern side chance at best to win the nomination. But his . presence in the race serves as a constant source nc** of left-wing pressure on other serious contenders. Remote How, then, do you bring the forces of a Jack son and a McGovern together for a race for the presidency? Strange alliances have happened before in politics. But tha. general feeling here is that the differences that separate tha Democrats are too great for the kind of reconciliation that could produce a united party in 1972.
