Among those in attendance were gubernatorial candidate Dan K. Moore, members of Congress, the Council of State, and a large number of state representatives and Senators. In his keynote address, Gill predicted that the Democratic ticket would receive an overwhelming majority in North Carolina. In a call for party unity he said, "It is the nature of the Democratic Party to have its primaries in which conflicting views are presented, but it is also the nature of our party, after a majority of the Democrats has spoken, to close ranks and go forward against our honorable, but often misguided, opposition." The WCC-YDC sponsored one bus, and other students drove to Asheville. Some served as marshals and all took part in the WCC cheering section is now a traditional part of political gatherings throughout the state. "L. B.

The two students pleaded guilty to their charges and were suspended from this instiution for a period of one quarter. This sentence handed down by the Student-Faculty Judiciary Committee is upholding the new general policy pertaining to alcoholic beverage on the W.C.C. campus. Commenting on his suspension Hampton stated, "As a student I feel that there was no students interest in the matter. Also I feel that counsel should have been given to the charged persons." Wyatt stated, "I was not given information as to whom I could see about counsel." Hampton and Wyatt stated that they were not receiving their punishment now but that their punishment would come when they returned to school next quarter. "I do not feel that I have been punished, but that my education has been hampered and a whole quarter's work will be wasted. Work hours would have been better punishment for such an offense," commented Hampton. On Tuesday, October 7, three students were found not guilty by the Student-Faculty Judiciary Committee to its charge of "aiding and abetting taking an automobile without permission." These students were Frank Bla- lock, Bill Smart, and Ken Smith. Their charge stemmed from the recent incident when a car driven by one of these students careened from River Road and plunged into the Tuckaseigee River.
