A person identifying himself only as
Mystery Politico walked unmasked into
Suite C Tuesday, apparently to reveal his
identity to Elections Board Chairman Rick
Harwood.
However. Dave Bruton, the masked
presidential candidate's campaign manager
and bodyguard, said the person was not the
real Mystery Politico and threatened the
person he said was an imposter.

Stewart (D-Gaston) formed the base for the
ECU expansion. It was amended to include
proposals by ECU backer Rep. J.P. Huskins
(D-Iredell).
The motion directs the UNC Board of
Governors to double the size of the entering
class at ECU from 20 to 40, and to expand
the current one-year curriculum at ECU to
two years.
Huskins, chairman of the Medical
Manpower Study Committee, presented a
bill earlier in the session with a timetable to
advocate immediate expansion of the East
Carolina medical school by 1975-76. The
mscuss
change
currently in the state treasury to state
colleges and universities for student aid
based solely on need. Present aid grants are
based on need and scholastic abilities.
"Since these schools are public institutions
they should serve the entire public, Scher
said. Also, he said that current state funding
is inadequate.
Public colleges, Scher said, presently
receive $5.50 per student in aid. While there
has been no increase in this figure for several
years, the cost of tuition and fees in those
years has risen 89 per cent for in-state
students and 205 per cent for out-of-state
students, he said.
"Next year," he said, "Tuition and fees will
increase by $7, and estimations show that
room rent could increase by as much as 14.5
per cent. These funds would help offset this
rise.
Scher said he has also contacted U.S.
Senator Sam Ervin about the possibility of
matching the state funds with federal funds.
He said that someone in Ervin's office told
him they were "very impressed" with the
proposal and are contacting HEW about the
possibility.
Scher will also meet with Lieutenant
Governor Hunt and possibly Governor
Holshouser concerning the proposal, he
said. He said that both Moore and Hunt
were very optimistic about the bill.
"The best part of this bill is that it will
benefit the entire state, not just one part,"
Scher said. "Whether or not I am elected, I
will still follow this through. It will benefit
everyone."

Politico first arrived at the DTH office and
showed a reporter a notarized statement
saying he was Mystery Politico. Three
reporters followed him to Suite C where he
expected to find Harwood.
Harwood was not there and the
unidentified man waited in Harwood's
office while one of the reporters called
Bruton and Geoff Hulse. another Mystery
Politico campaign manager, to see whp. they
knew about the situation.
One of the campaign managers said on the
phone, "If he's over there when I get there'
he's in big trouble. I'm going to kill him."
The alleged imposter left the room and
disappeared when told what Bruton said. He
has not been available for comment since
then.
Bruton came to Suite C minutes later and,
speaking very forcefully, accused the DTH
and several other candidates of setting up the
alleged imposter to disrupt Mystery

second year was to be added by 1976-77.
This timetable was removed, as Huskins
deferred to the Scott-Stewart proposal.
The Committee's recommendation was
incorporated into the state budget, which
will be presented to the Assembly near the
end of the session. If legislators decide to
fight the ECU appropriation, they will have
to wait until the budget is delivered from
committee, and then "rip the budget apart,"
according to one legislative reporter.
After a two-and -one half hour debate
between ECU proponents and Board
supporters, the Scott-Stewart compromise
bill passed 49 to 28.
One of the amendments passed by the
committee called for ECU to make special
efforts to recruit minoirities for the
expanded medical school.
The Chapel Hill and ECU medical schools
were also directed to "work cooperatively
toward full accreditation" to enable ECU .
medical school graduates to transfer freely to
other areas of the university system in an
amendment by Sen. Thomas Strickland, (D
Wayne). Scott said that his compromise bill was to ,
remedy "a case of the Board of Governors
failing to respond to the needs of the people."
Many legislators have viewed the
controversy over the ECU medical school
expansion as a test of the Board's authrotiy.
The Board was charged with the
responsibility of setting policy for higher
education in North Carolina when the
University system was restructured in 1972.

At one point he slapped a pen out of a
reporter's hand.
"Mystery Politico will not reveal himself
unless he is elected," Bruton said. "If he (the
imposter) maintains he's the Mystery
Politico," he said, "he's in big trouble."
Harwood agreed when Mystery Politico
filed to keep the candidate's legal identity
confidential.
Notary public Joseph Augustine said
Tuesday he signed the first Mystery
Politico's nickname notification, but he
could not remember the candidate's legal
name. He said anyone could approach a
notary public and have his legal nickname
made Mystery Politico.
However, Harwood said Tuesday the only
Mystery Politico who will be considered a
candidate is the one who fi'ed a notarized

Elections Board Chairman Rick Harwood
said Monday he will make a decision soon on
whether to consider as a campaign expense
an "alternative newspaper" by a candidate
for Daily Tar Heel editor.
The DTH Alternative was distributed in
dorms Monday night and was published
under the editorship of Cole Campbell.
Campbell is a candidate for DTH editor in
today's election.
If Harwood rules the publication of the
newspaper as a campaign expense, the
expenditure would probably put Campbell
over the limit for expenses under elections
law.
Campbell "reported to the DTH Monday
his expenses to date were $104.99. The figure

Contacted Monday night, Campbell
denied that the newspaper was a campaign
expenditure and said it was a completely ,

Campbell said he was unsure of the cost of
publishing the newspaper. DTH Alternative
Advertising Manager Michael Whitley
would not comment on the cost.
Under election law, candidates must
submit an itemized list of all campaign
expenses seven days after the election. The
limit for expenses in the editor's race is $200.
If a candidate spends more than is
allowed, Harwood said, the election will be
ruled invalid and the candidate will be fined
50 per cent of the amount spent over the

would be allowed to run again.
Harwood said he may not make a decision
on Campbell's expenses until the financial
statement-is filed.-but said he will -call a
meeting of the Elections Board to discuss the
Campbell expenses soon.
"It's a difficult decision," Harwood said.
"What it gets down to is whether that (the
newspaper) will be considered a campaign
expense."
He said a key question is "would he have
printed it if he wasn't running" for editor.
Copies of the newspaper were distributed
door to door in campus dormitories. Dean of
Student Affairs Donald A. Boulton said
Monday only bona-fide student
organizations" registered with his office are
authorized to distribute material door to
door.
Campbell's newspaper, he said, was not
registered with his office. Late Tuesday
afternoon, however, Boulton said Campbell
had contacted him and indicated he plans to
register with Boulton's office as a student
organization with a faculty adviser.
Without official recognition, Boulton
said. The DTH Alternative could only be left
in drop boxes on campus.
Boulton said if the newspaper was
considered campaign literature, there would
be no complication in distributing it door to
door.
"I am not in a position to decide what is
campaign literature," he said, "but I told him
my opinion."
" He can deny it is campaign literature, but
the timing certainly makes it look like it is."
Boulton said.
