Many have the feeling that the public meet ings are just a show to pacify the taxpayers, and that the Board has already made its de cision. The public may not partici pate in. meetings, but it will under the cloak of secrecy, participate at the ballot box when the time comes. Jimmy says WKDK conduct ed a survey Which indicated that people of the county were concerned about education. The survey failed in not asking, “HOW concerned?” STILL A DOLLAR Some National Guardsmen went down to Columbia to get their National Guard license plates for 1970 and found they still had to pay an extra dollar. They thought, as I did, that the bill to eliminate the charge had been enacted into law. Just goes to show that I didn’t follow activities in Columbia as close ly as I should. Anyhow, knowing this was Sen. Bob Lake’s pet project, I called to find out what happen ed. “I got it passed in the Sen ate without any trouble,” Bob said. When it got to the House side, it came up for first and second readings. Before third reading, there was some ob jection to the bill—no doubt from the Highway Department and it was never brought be fore the House for third read ing. The Senator, of course, can’t go over to the House and get the bill on the floor, but he feels that Rep.

Indians said to be shaping up Working on a practice field which has been periodically soaked with rain, the Newberry College Indians have continued to sharpen their offensive and defensive skills in preparation for the season’s opening game at Gardner-Webb, September 20. The Indians, under the watch ful eye of head mentor Fred Herren, have recently been at work on their kicking game, which relied on Roger Hazel in the punting department. Hazel’s punting average last season was an impressive 43.5 yards. Kicking for field goals, points after touchdown, and kick-offs is senior Joby Castles, who ac cording to Herren, can be quite accurate from the 25 yard line on in. In making defensive prepar ations for the opener with the Boiling Springs, N. C. school, sophomore tackle Andy Mur- tiff has been doing an except ional job, along with Danny Worsley who has been effective in helping to contain running and passing attacks. Wade Ni chols has also shown constant improvement on defense thru two weeks of practice. Offensively Joby Castles and A1 Granzow, both seniors, have been blocking extremely well on the line during early work outs making the Indians ground game more consistent and giv ing the quarterbacks more throwing time to hit sophomores Johnny Dawkins, Lamar Pros ser and Martie Pearson. Herren says that the tribe will continue rough work through this week and next week will begin putting on final touches for the opening game.

The name change became ef fective following approval by the board of directors, stock holders of the bank, and var ious governmental agencies.
