Indians meet
Gardner-Webb 2
Saturday night
The Newberry College Indians
and the Bulldogs from Gard
ner-Webb College butt heads at
Setzler Field in Newberry Sa
turday night. The Indians won
the first encounter with the Bull
dogs last year 27-15, but it
could be anyone’s ball game as
new head coach George Litton
joins the Gardner-Webb staff.
Litton took over the leash in
early January. He was athletic
director and head football coach
at Lees-McRae Junior College.
He lost only two games his
last three years at Lees-McRae.
The Indians will be relying
on quarterback Gary Welchel
and tailback Donald Garrick to
spur the offense past the Bull
dog defense. Garrick broke two
school records in last Saturday’s
contest against Emory & Henry.
He rushed for 186 total yards,
one of which was a 90-yard
spring from his own ten. Coach
Herren hopes his offensive line
spurred by Mike Bodie from
N. Augusta, Tony Powell from
Stone Mountain, Ga., and Car-
roll Martin from North, S. C.
can keep the holes open for
backs Garrick and Jimm) Ful
ton.
Herren is concentrating main
ly on polishing the option play
that worked so well against
Emory & Henry. Defensively
Coach Steve Robertson is work
ing on discipline, reading keys,
and basic plays for Saturday’s
contest. Gardner Webb has a
strong team, according to Ro
bertson. They have a strong
quarterback in Ken Hannen,
who can run and pass very
well.” Robertson added. “Their
backs, Meredith Scruggs, Mal
colm Singleton, and end Ken
Reed will pose a challenge to
the Indian defense.” It will be
up to Indians Ken Pettus, Andy
Murtiff. Marion Waters, front
and safety’s Saylor Fox and
Danny W’orsley to match for
the passes.
Gardner-W'ebb held their own
against powerful Lenoir Rhyne
last Saturday losing by a score
of 27-14. Newberry will face
the Bears after the Gardner-
Webb encounter. This will be a
preview for them for the game
with their rival school.
Hightower is
Sertoma guest
R. A. (Ronnie) Hightower,
GOP Candidate for the S. C.
House of Representatives, ad
dressed the Newberry Sertoma
Club. Monday evening, as spe
cial guest of this civic group’s
monthly dinner meeting.
Roscoe Bedenbaugh. Sertoma
Club Program Chairman, in
troduced Harold Koon, New
berry County GOP Chairman,
who in turn introduced High
tower to the group.
Hightower said, “I have been
interested in Republican poli
tics since the early 1960’s and
now I find myself a candidate
concerned with the present is
sues in South Carolina and New
berry County. When I think of
the current issues, of how
South Carolina ranks lowest
where it should be highest, it
brings to mind a commence
ment speech that I heard while
in high school in Salu,da. The
speaker was stating that we had
to get South Carolina on top
and better our educational stan
dards and provide better, higher
paying jobs.”
“The issues being presented
to the people by the Republi
can party are not new ones,
but they are problems which
the Democratic party has had
ample time to do something
about. Of course, we all know
the one-party system has not
removed us from our previous
position at the bottom of the
totum pole. We are still 49th in
education, 47th in teacher pay,
and we are near the top of the
list in national rankings in the
amount that the people of this
state are taxed.
“I believe one of the most
important issues today in South
Carolina is what I call the Wat
son-West Issue. The people in
South Carolina have a once in
a lifetime chance of electing a
right-thinking man of integrity,
a man like you and I who really
wants to put an end to the petty
power-plays that dominate the
character of Democratic poli
tics.
Hightower continued, “To
bring about a real change in
South Carolina for the better
the only choice is Albert Wat
son for Governor. When I think
of Lt. Gov. West I am reminded
of how he gave his whole-heart
ed endorsement of Hubert Hum
phrey as the Democratic candi
date for President. West said
that he thought Humphrey was
‘the most qualified man in the
party for the job’. And just
prior to this Hubert Humphrey
was quoted on national televi
sion as saying ‘if I were black
I’d be rioting and burning too’!”
“I just can’t see how the
voter can do anything else but
vote for a man who even while
he was a Democrat openly sup
ported Nixon in 1960. He sup
ported Goldwater in 1964 and
Nixon again in 1968.”
Hightower pointed out the eco
nomic picture stating, “Our S.
C. Reserve Fund of $21 Million
is now depleted and we fund
projects such as the Tricente-
nial Commission with $5 Mil
lion per year. What makes this
a real problem is our duplica
tion of expenditures. The S. C.
Department of Parks, Recrea
tion and Tourism receives $2
million a year and the S. C.
Recreation Commission receives
1$ million a year. We need less
duplication in this area as in
many other commissions to bet
ter serve S. C. Taxpayers and
at less cost to our citizens.”
On the sales tax issue High
tower said, “Last year the 3
percent sales tax was increased
to 4 percent. I propose to intro
duce legislation which will
exempt medical costs and food
costs from sales tax. This would
help considerably our citizens
who must live on fixed incomes
and who simply cannot afford
higher taxes every year.”
“The people of Newberry
County need a representative
who will take a stand on issues.
They need a man who is will
ing to lay his political life on
the line for his decisions. I in
tend to do what I think is right
and if the people don’t agree
with me they can vote me out
of office.”
“The people of Newberry
need a man who will compro
mise on issues for the public
good, but at the same time be
a person who will not compro
mise the needs of the people.
I won’t be going down to Colum
bia to the General Assembly
with the thought in mind of
serving my eight years so I can
get a state retirement. As a
matter of fact, I believe it would
be a good idea to do away with
the retirement system for e-
lected officials altogether.
