Bob Scott addressing the annual North Carolina School Board Members convention here Thursday morning, promised "exciting times" in N.C. educational affairs if he is elected governor. The Democratic candidate, speaking in the confident, even tones of a man already elected, spoke before an estimated 500 ; school officials in Hill Hall. His Republican opponent for the governorship, Fourth District Rep. Jim Gardner," cancelled his anticipated afternoon appearance before the convention due to traveling difficulties. Scott said he is looking forward to working with Dr. Craig Phillips, Democratic candidate for Superintendent of Public Schools, in reforming the educational process. "Dr. Phillips and I will go into office together with the same philosophy and aspirations for our schools," Scott said. "I've learned in my four years as lieutenant governor that government is not a one-man show. Thus I anticipate a good working arrangement with Dr. and the various pduratinnal agencies, I promise full-time co-operation with, and accessibility for, all these co-workers." Scott outlined a'seven-point program for improving the public schools:' increase teacher salaries to meet the national average; provide kindergarten for pre-schoolers; more flexibility in school regulations; , expanded vocational and W allace Offers Debate Terms Accuses Nixon Of 'Credibility Gap' DURHAM (UPI)-George Wallace, having offered to step aside so Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey could meet in a televised debate, twitted Nixon Tuesday for not taking him up on the offer. "Really, Mr. Nixon didn't mean what he said, which is so often the case," Wallace declared. He accused the GOP candidate of creating a "credibility gap" with his statements regarding debates. "You've not going to get Mr. Nixon to debate," Wallace said. Wallace made his debate Va., then StudenfB JL 0 Get emonstrutors: 'Law And Order 9 By EVIE STEVENSON DTH Staff Writer Students from UNC and Duke, attending the Wallace speech in Durham on Thursday morning, felt the effects of "unrestrained law and order," according to Bob Lock, an SSOC organizer. "SS0C members," said Lock, "who were there to hand out leaflets and discuss the issues, were confronted by security guards who severely hampered any discussion." Several students at the speech said Wallace supporters sprayed mace, v a chemical similar to tear gas, into the crowd of students without justification. "There were hecklers within the groups, but this was not enough to justify using mace," said Arlene Wanderer, a UNC coed. The police, according to Miss Wanderer began to push the students back to separate them from the Wallace supporters. "First they pushed us back with billy-clubs. We didn't resist. "Then they (police) started swinging their clubs at us. I was struck across the bridge of my nose. A boy beside me was hit on the shoulder." Howard Lipton, also a member of SSOC, said the policemen's blows were not enough to really hurt the students. "The trouble was that this caused the students to panic. "The people on the sides tried to get out of the way, but they couldn't. When they thought they were going to be trapped beside these policemen, they panicked. Several girls were knocked down."

Ask for :j: Bate-A-Date Service on second floor. j: At one point before Wallace delivered his speech, placard sticks and signs were thrown in the crowd by both Wallace supporters and students. A UNC law student said he was threatened by a Wallace supporter with a raised three-foot stick in his hand. "I asked a policeman to arrest him (the Wallace supporter), but he replied indifferently, 'You got a warrant?' There were reports that students , were jabbed in the back and neck when they were unable to back away. "The police were hitting below the belt in many cases," said Lock. Lock said he passed out leaflets among the Wallace supporters. "A security agent approached me and grabbed one of the leaflets. He read the first sentence and then said it was okay. "I continued handing them out until three men grabbed me, jerked away the leaflets, and pushed me back. "They told me to 'Get the hell outa here,' " said Lock. After the speech, police formed two lines to push the students out of the parking lot. Lipton said, "The students seemed to get compressed between the lines. The police were holding us back on one side and shoving us with clubs on the other. "Later, they realized what was happening, and one line dispersed. We were pushed away from the lot." offer in Roanoke, Wednesday night, and moved on Thursday to North Carolina, where he feels he is running neck and neck with Nixon. Later Thursday night he will address a rally in New York City's Madison Square Garden. ' - ' ' - - V - Ah enthusiastic crowd of about 10,000 turned out to hear Wallace at Durham. They cheered him wildly when he spoke out against some schools banning the playing of "Dixie" by their school bands, and added: "We appeal to the soul of the south help save our country." 200 demonstrators About were in the Durham audience, gathered in a parking lot behind the police station, but they were too far back in the crowd to disrupt Wallace's talk. There was some brief scuffling when the demonstrators and Wallace ypprters started throwing placard sticks at each other, but police quickly put down the disturbance. CBS said Nixon had accepted an offer to appear on "Face The Nation" Sunday night, but apparently for a solo interview by correspondent Martin Agronsky. The other two candidates have previously appeared on the program. industrial arts programs designed to combat the high dropout rate (45 per cent of those who begin first grade do not graduate from high school); reduce size of classes; reduce non-classroom responsibilities of teachers; lower overall school fees and eliminate some of the Phillips more expensive fees altogether. On the last point, Scott noted it was not possible to wipe out all fees by diverting State funds. "But we must keep costs down, because the high prices in such courses as business education are a contributing factor to the number of dropouts," he said. The lieutenant governor, in a swipe at Housing, Education And Welfare (HEW) expressed opposition to "federal guidelines" in education. "I don't think any one agency should have the power to hammer us in line," he' declared. "I am for more authority and flexibility at the local level." Scott said his administration will be keyed to the future in education "the quality of the future depends on the quality of education today," he commented. "What we eventually want to do is keep most of North Carolina's home-grown brains in the State. Right now many of these most talented young minds get only a basic education here and then go somewhere - else for their secondary schooling." Although acknowledging it was "mighty hard" for a candidate to stay away from political discussion with the election only 12 days off, Scott restricted his remarks to education and fired only one vague verbal missle at Gardner, without mentioning the Republican's name. ii ji r f I DTH Staff rhoto By Grant McCtintock Lieutenant Governor Bob Scott . .

The movement was organized by Teddy O'Toole, former vice-president for educational affairs for the National Student Association (NSA), and Ray Appleton, former central and southern regional coordinator for Youth for Rockefeller. Organizations have been formed in thirty-three states and the District of Columbia, with contacts in seventeen other states. There are presently local coalition groups formed on about 250 individual campuses according to O'Toole. O'Toole cited the following goals and policies of the coalition: First, the group is basically opposed to the war in Vietnam and supports the minority plank. "For this reason, we strongly endorse the Vice-President's latest statement with regard to the bombing halt, and we urge him to go further in that direction. We call on Richard Nixon to immediately remove from television the commercial in which he shows haggard GI's in Vietnam, and claims that he will bring them home. We demand that Richard Nixon state a precise position with regard to issues involved in Vietnam. The only statement we have to date is his 1954 statement that 'American boys' be sent to Southeast Asia. Secondly, the group is committed to justice and equality for blacks and other minorities. "One of our strongest allies during the civil rights educational opportunity to Nixon state plainly every potential college student Larry Reynolds and Mike he welcomes or including significant Cross, Diane Gooch and the participation by the students in Small Mainstreet. university decision-making. The Cafe is being moved "Again, Hubert Humphrey from the YMCA building, has been the sponsor of just where it is usually held, in an movement was Hubert Humphrey. One of our most powerful enemies during that movement, Senator Strom Thurmond, is now one of the strongest supporters of Richard Nixon. We demand that Richard whether repudiates the support of those elements which George Wallace is appearling to. Humphrey has made his stance on this issue more than clear." Thirdly, the coalition is committed to solving the economic and social problems of the cities. "Our candidate has established himself as one of the strongest leaders of this effort for the past twenty years." Fourthly, the group is committed to establishing relationships with the Eastern Europe communist bloc and Red China based oti practicality. t "Humphrey has made clear his desire for detente with these powers. If Richard Nixon is no longer 'Mr. Cold War,' then we demand that he stand up and say it." Fifthly, the group is committed to the expansion of l J. courses to 32; 2) the institution of a minimum allowance of eight pass-fail courses during four years and a move toward pass-fail courses in all but the major courses; 3) allow 48 semester hours in the major field instead of the limit now of 30 hours. A meeting is planned for next Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., in 201 Murphy Hall. Scott Hosts Crossroads Friday Night Scott Residence College will host the Crossroads Cafe this Friday night from 9:00-12:30 in Teague's social room. The musicians appearing will be about every major educational bill during the last twenty years, and has recently appealed to college officials to recognize the ability of college students to participate in d e c i s i o n - m a king in universities."
