End of the Speaker Ban law came, with an amendment and a court ruling unconstitu tionality of the amendment. The “Student Power” issue is very much at the forefront in Chapel Hill--but well contained by ju dicious administrative policies and the good judgement of stu dent government leaders. Long tradition of free speech and “open door” in cooperation be tween students, faculty and ad ministrators seems to behead ing student “protests” while excesses of activism are con trolled -- a practice that has won trustee congratulation. 16.

Pres ident William Friday has become president-elect of the Association of American Uni versities. An Interview With Mrs. Billy Graham (Editors Note: It was my pleasure recently to have a personal interview with Mrs. Billy Graham, at their home in Montreat. I feel that she is a very charming lady, with a warm and colorful personality toward everyone. It is an ex perience that will be long remembered. If you ever meet her, I’m sure you will feel the same way.) Mr. and Mrs. Graham met while going to Wheaton College, in Wheaton, Illinois. It resulted in a marriage that has lasted for twenty-five years of happi ness together. The Grahams have five chil dren, the youngest, 10 years old is still at home, they have two away in boarding school and two that are married. They also have 3 grandchildren. Mrs. Grahams hobbies are sewing, gardening, reading, writing, cooking and anything to do with the home. I asked Mrs. Graham when her husband decided to become an evangelist and she said, “I think that has been his ambition all his life. He preached for two years in the church after college, and then went into full time evangelistic work. When asked how she feels having a husband who does such a wonderful thing for his coun try and the world through his preaching and good will, she said, “I appreciate him for a person and what he means to me and his family. I feel that he is doing what God wants him to do and that is what is most im portant in a persons life.” Mrs. Graham does not ac company Mr. Graham on many tours or crusades, because her belief is as long as there are young children, her place is at home with them. Mrs. Grahams father, was a Medical Missionary to China and after they returned to the states they moved to Montreat. When Mr. Graham decided to go into evangelistic work and would spend a great deal of time away from home, she would spend a good deal of time with her parents. They later bought a home in Montreat and even tually built a home higher up on the mountain, that has a beautiful scenic view of the surrounding area. In closing the interview, I asked Mrs. Graham what we as Americans could do in a time of so much trouble and turmoil that our country Is going through. She said, “Each one should start with themselves and make sure we are the. type of person God would want us to be.” A good example that she gave was that after returning from a trip, Mr. Gra ham, brought home as a gift, a charming little puppet for the children. The children, In playing with the puppet were forever getting It tangled up and she would have to spend much of her time untangellng the strings and getting It straightened for them. The impressive point In this she said, “Jesus came Into the world to help us get straight with God. When we know we’ve been forgiven, we should do what God says. Read the Bi ble, put it Into practice and pray.” I think after talking with Mrs. Graham that her philosophy on life would be the “Golden Rule,” and she lives it to the best of her ability. Miss Hanlon Attends Tea Miss Joan Hanlon, guid ance counselor at Owen High Scholo, was among teachers from 22 schools in W.N.C., at tending a tea recently (jiven by Southern Bell.
