VOL. LXI-No. 70 University of South Carolina. Columbia, S. C. 29208 Friday, March 26, 1971 President elect Harry Walker Spears calls election'novel' Mike Spears, outgoing president of student government, said yesterday that Harry Walker may be "one of the best president student government ever had." "It's novel to be succeeded by a black," Spears said. "I know that Harry is a strong, individual person, and he's going to need every bit of that strength in the upcoming year. "He is terribly inexperienced as far as student government goes, but he has the determination to stick it out." Spears said that Walker's ability, knowledge and poise "will be the things people notice--not the fact that he is black. "He must prove that he is president of all the students, not just the black students' candidate. People are going to be watching him." Spears also said that he thinks that the Board of Trustees would "tremendously fair" in working ..ith Walker. "They never impressed me as being terribly racist," he added.
