The Horse Is In The Running,
Doesn't Care Who Gets Credit
By Richard Creed
The Horse, alias Bill O'Sullivari, is doing at last what every red
blooded member of the equestrian strain should do.
He's getting up off his hairy haunches, where he has sat musing all
his natural life, and he's running
a race.
But the Horse won't be run
ning at Pimlico or Hialeah, nor
at the county fair. It has come
straight from his friend (or, at
least, associate) Roger Will Coe
that he is in the field of 62 running
for student Legislature.
Besides being a horse, the Horse
has another distinguishing char
acteristic. He's old enough to be
the sire of any of the solons now

Heel columnist said in way of ex

"I've noticed thefe seems to be

said "If a good bill comes up we
should pass it, no matter whether
its sponsored by the UP or the SP.
he continued. "I think it would be
nice if we had an arbitrator for
both sides."
Commenting pn the recent UP
SP struggle over who should get
credit for setting up a student
faculty-evaluation system, he said,
"We want the students to get the
cash. We don't care who gets the
credit."
The Horse trotted up the steps
of South Building for the first
time four years ago. He came as
a veteran and a special student.
"But since that time," he said, "the
government has decided that I

"Yes."
"There's a package that looks

Would you please come and see

"Oh, my God!" said Gardiner.
A few moments later the six-foot-six

new dean of the University of

Dr. Luxon gave his views on
journalism training to members of
the Eastern Carolina Press Asso

group's fall meeting. It was his
first public speech since he re
cently took over as dean replacing
Oscar J. Coffin, who retired.
"There is just as much reason
for . professional education in
journalism as there is for any
other profession," Dean Luxon
declared. "If I didn't have confi
dence in professional journalism
training, I wouldn't have spent 25
years in it and I would not have

Wallace's doctor said yesterday
that Jim's condition is "greatly im

to improve ; he should be out by

Dr. Luxon, who cme to North
Carolina from Ohio State, said
all teachers in professional schools
of journalism should have news
paper experience, preferably in an
executive capacity on a large 6r
small newspaper. "This teaches
them to make decisions," he ex
plained. He urged cooperation between
journalism schools, press associ
ations 'and newspapers. He sug
gested that journalism teachers
should continuously engage in re
search, and spoke in favor of using
campus newspapers as a labora
tory for journalism schools.

Student government leaders, a
football player, and the chairman
of the faculty athletic committee
got together yesterday to air their
views on a proposed new scholas
tic requirement for athletes.
Up for discussion was a Joel
Fleishman-sponsored student Le
gislature bill requiring athletes to
maintain an overall grade of "C"
or higher.
General agreement was reached
by the group, which included Dr.
A. W. Hobbs, chairman of the
faculty committee on athletics, and
Marshall Newman, Carolina quart
erback, that passage of the bill as
it was written would constitute
discrimnation against athletes;
members of such other extra-cur-riculars
as the band and the pub
lications staffs are not required
to have a "C" average. Candidates
for elective positions must have a
C average to be eligible for elect
ion, but are not required to main
tain the average.
Fleishman, a Student Party
member who introducted the bill
independently, agreed to rewrite
the bill to include all extra-curricular
activities. He wll be as
sisted in the rewrite by Phin Hor
ton, University Party member who
pledged his support to a rewrit
ten proposal.

Dr. Leslie's informal discussion

"When such people wake up one
