The conference was held by David Eisenhower, who was speaking at the State Fairgrounds on behalf of Albert Watson, Republican gubenatorial con didate. The Gamecock and WUSC were not invited to attend, but both sent representatives. Jerry Calabrese and Ben Baggott from the Gamecock and Troy Davis from WUSC were denied admission to the conference by Gay Suber, an official from the state Republican headquarters. Suber said a security agent for Eisenhower told him not to admit any more press because the lun cheon room was full. After the USC newsmen sent a telegram to Eisenhower, an in terview was arranged at Columbia Airport. Eisenhower spoke briefly with the trio. When questioned, following Eisenhower's departure, about his actions Suber commented, "I don't want to discuss this afternoon."

Broadwai on camp Hy CHARLES FELLENBAUM Staff Writer Black gubernatorial candidate Thomas Broadwater spoke in the Common's Room Monday on education, law enforcement and his campaign. Broadwater said that if he was governor, he would call for the resignation of anyone who wastes taxpayer's money. "The money must be spent to get the best trained individuals for our teachers," he said. He cited several cases where money was not being used properly in schools. "'The white and black children are being penalized," he added. Broadwater also criticized overcrowding in South Carolina schools. He quoted someone who said "if all the kids in the state went to school, there wouldn't be room for them." Broadwater also said that "There are more children out of school in South Carolina than any other state." One of the problems he has promised to work on is the lack of adequate education for blacks in the state. "Eighty-five per cent of the people who graduated from S. C. State in the last 10 years aren't even in the state. If black boys are being used for machine gun fodder, the least we can do is educate them so they will know why they are dying." Broadwater also charged that black people have been in timidated so that 'today in 1970 they are afraid to even go in the courthouse to register." He cited evidence that a black man was arrested for disorderly conduct while trying to register and then shot for resisting arrest. Broadwater also said that a conflict has been discovered In the state's election laws. A brief has been filed that could cause the Nov. 3 election to be postponed, he said. ~1 makes tment reflects the law school's assump tion of a greater role In the area of law development and reform through research employing faculty and student resources and the anticipated expanded law library, according to Dean Foster. In the area of development, the School is establishing new clinical programs in which students are given the opportunity to work with Indigent clients. McCullough holds a B. A. degree from Erskine College and a J. D. from Tulane University Law School. Myers received a B. A. degree from Marshall University, an L.L.B. from the University of Virginia School of Law; and an L.L.M. from the Columbia UniversityScoo ofa a. )fficers, lecided No qualified candidates were nominated from nursing or from Districts 18 or 26. In addition to these elections, the Student Senate sponsored a "straw poll" 'n the same ballot. In the mock race for governor, John West received 443 votes; Thomas Broadwater, 351 votes; Albert Watson, 313 votes; and "Red" Bethea, 35 votes. Bob Bender tallied 956 votes and John Foard 180 votes in the mock race for Richland County Solicitor. Candidates in today's run-offs are: Homecoming Queen Betty Lumpkin, Dot Manigault and Kathy Watson Freshman Class President Sam Barber, Kendall Kiser and Larry Stroud Freshman Class Vice-President ter comme Wrgn, issue In reference to his opposition, Broadwater said, "What could Watson do as governor that Mc Nair or West haven't done? "There's not a dime's worth of difference between them," he said. "We must eliminate the double standard of law enforcement," Broadwater said. "There are sufficient laws to deal with criminals if only they were en forced." He said that if he were to make a speech which caused people to become emotional and do something violent, he would be jailed for inciting a riot. He cited the Lamar case when Republican candidate Albert Watson spoke there and school buses were later overturned by a mob of white people. "Someone who makes a speech and causes people to become violent and turn over school buses, that man should be prosecuted as much as a robber should," Broadwater siad. Bethea: E ByHiARRY HOPE Staff Writer "I will tell you what's on my mind and I will be straight with you." So Indepenidemn candidate for governor A. W. Bethea began his discussion with students in the Commons Room Tuesday. Bethea also criticized The Gamecock for calling him a "racist" Instead of segregationist in its interview. "I am not a racist, I'm a segregationist, and I'm proud of it. "There are two big families in my home country--the black Betheas and the white Betheas, and we like each other a lot. I am not a racist." Several times during the discussion Bethea stated "I ca'n't tell you why I believe in segregation. I just do, and I won't change." Bethea also stated he would be honest with students, and that he knew they would disagree with him. "I was born and raised with nigras. But I think a lot of nigras are losing their identity becpuse of the Eastern liberals. I don't want the groups mixed under certain circumstances. "As long as I am able to sleep at night and my conscience is clear, I'm all right," he said. When questioned about the dual school systems, Bethea stated, "It will cost more to maintain the dual systems. But we have a right to say we don't want to do it. "If they don't bus the children of the powers that be in Washington, they shouldn't bus them down here. I'm sure there is nothing in queen today James Hardy and Jan Stampien Freshman Class Secretary Linda Khoury, Ellen Poole and Deborah Stackhouse Freshman Class Treasurer Kelly Hamm, Lynn Horsey and Russell Truluck SENATE Freshman on Campus At Large Sam Barber, Koger Bradford, Gene Faillard, Howard Hertzberg, Mark Ross and J.

"I don't ascribe to the kind of things that happened last May. If students here went out and actively campaigned, there would be a 180 tUegree turn in legislation concerning students in two years," he added. Broadwater also said that he thought that the "In loco parentis" policy of this university was "good." He said that "parents are relieved to get the responsibility off their hands, they are glad to let the university make their child a woman. There are also many political implications that people don't realize," he added. Broadwater said he feels that drugs are more a mental health problem than anything else but that he was in favor of cracking down on pushers. He also said if elected, he would ask the legislature to appropriate money to study marijuana. egregation the Civil Rights bill that say you have to bus to integrate." Bethea said concerning the Lamar situation last February that "in circumstances like that, you should do every single thing you can do to prevent it. "If I had been at Lamar, I would have been after those damn news media, I like children no matter who they are." Bethea also said that out-of state students at state supported colleges "are literally given $4000 by the taxpayers of this state." He said he would like the number of out-of-state students limited to about 15 per cent. He stated that he was not against out-of-staters, but that "I want to educate our own students first. "I want out-of-state students to stay in this state and help us make a good state. "There should be a reciprocal agreement between states to send equal numbers of students to each other's schools. If ten boys from New York come to Clemson, then ten South Car'olina boys should be able to go to Cornell for the same price." Bethea also stated he wanted to see a set of rules made up by a committee of students. "If some of you boys or girls caused trouble, you would be out of here in ten minutes." The Independent candidate called the recent backing of Watson by the Wallace Porum "grandstanding." He also said that the United Citizens Party candidate 'Thomas Broadwater "has every right to be on the ballot. And I'llbe the first to say that he has thake toen.
