"(There were people who) died in this state to make it possible for us to be here today and we must not let their death be in vain, so we have to go to the polls Tuesday like we've never gone before." Political activist Dick Gregory, who participated in a tour of Hattiesburg despite a broken toe, said that during the civil rights movement there was "a type of intergrity, bravery and force" that has never been captured (in movies or books) to show people today how things really were. and Pre 7 p.m. outlook MIAMI The 1983 Atlantic hurricane season's second tropical depression took shape at mid-ocean Saturday, developing out of a weather disturbance that formed just off the African coast.

The depression had winds of 35 mph, just shy of tropical storm strength, and conditions favored slow development, according to forecasters at the National Hurricane Center. federal official who is now director of education programs for the American Association for the Advancement of Science, said the whole process of producing the next generation of teachers has collapsed. "The nation has not produced them, not even for the bright kids," Rutherford said, "and we are not producing physics teachers or math teachers in the quality or the quantity that it takes to do the job." According to the National Science Teachers Association, some 60,000 of the approximately 200,000 science and math teachers now employed in the schools are not qualified to teach in those fields. Also, there has been a mass exodus of able teachers from those I fields into better paying jobs in industry in recent years, and the production of new qualified teach-J ers in the sciences and' mathematics has dropped off to almost nothing over the past de- cade. win runoff votes from those who had backed losing candidates, and observers noted that she has taken a soft approach when talking of uuiei Ldiiumcuea.

At 62, Miss Gandy, a native of Hattiesburg, has served as state representative, treasurer and insurance commissioner in addition to holding the lieutenant governor's office in 1976-80. Allain, 55, a Natchez native now holding his first public office, concedes he has waged a consumer-oriented campaign. He has called the primary a referendum on his fights against utility rate increases and legislators serving on boards in the executive branch of government. Sturdivant, 55, said his business successes he reported taxable income of $1.7 million last year has helped him rather than hurt him because backers see it as proof of his ability to provide jobs.

He is making his first political bid. Johnson, 35, a two-term legislator from Pearl, has campaigned as "the taxpayers' friend" and said he opposes implementing a 1982 education improvement program because some $100 million in new taxes are needed to finance it. He has also promised to replace Public Safety Commissioner Sidney Berry, whom he has accused of trying to convert the highway patrol into a state police force. Billy M. Davis, 45, of Laurel, is a former teacher and inactive lawyer who describes himself as a "broke farmer from Laurel." He has criticized Paul Volcker, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, and said Swiss banks have directed Volcker to ruin the economy through inflation and high interest rates.

In another development, two newspapers reported they were giving their editorial endorsement to Sturdivant on the final weekend of the campaign. The announcements came from the McComb Enterprise-Journal and the Greenwood Commonwealth.

He was an original founder and first chairman of SNCC. When he traveled to Mississippi in 1961 as a Freedom Rider to help blacks register to vote, he was beaten and jailed many times. "In 1961, we didn't have black sheriffs, state troopers and members of the police force giving us an escort into the city.

In 1961, (law officers) escorted us straight to Hinds County jail." "We struggled and we went to A fl MISSISSIPPI FROM page 1 A Based on National Center for Education Statistics, there are now about 200,000 teachers of science and mathematics in the nation's classrooms, but most analysts agree that the nation's schools need about 600,000 additional science and math teachers to replace those who are unqualified or minimally qualified and have been hired on emergency waivers. Between now and the mid-1990s, when the shortage is expected to reach its peak, some educators say that schools may need as many as 300,000 additional science and mathematics teachers. As a result, 22 states have enacted or are considering legislation to provide financial incentives, including "forgivable" loans and scholarships (loans and scholarships that are repaid by having the individual teach for a specified period of time) to prospective teachers of mathematics and science. Also, 27 states have passed or are GANDY FROM page 1A stands. He fought for black rights before it was popular and they know that." In Corinth, Allain called on opponents to eijd mud-slinging "and return to the issues." He said while he had been talking about his record and program, his foes had been "buying radio and television time to spread misinformation." He said he was the only candidate who had stood up for the people and he expected the vote next Tuesday to show that they realized it.

State Rep. Lonnie Johnson, another Democratic candidate, said his foes' polls showed his strength was gaining. "I've had a 400 percent increase in popularity," he said. "Sturdivant has me with 4 percent. Miss Gandy's poll that came out four days ago had me with 1 percent.

I don't know of any politician that's gaining that fast, especially since I am not listed on the poll." Miss Gandy, in Saturday speeches, said she would be ready with a plan for job development from her first day in office. She said she would throw the full resources of the governor's office into the effort. Miss Gandy, a veteran state official who lost a runoff to now-Gov. William Winter four years ago, adopted a new hair-do, new eyeglasses and a more aggressive approach for her second race for the state's top political office. To underscore a shift from her gracious Southern lady image, Miss Gandy has talked about toughness and her 35 years of governmental experience.

However, she has sought to retain her traditional appeal by expressing concern for the elderly, disabled and dis Joseph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) said that he thinks the spirit of the 60's is being renewed through voter rallies such as the one held in Hattiesburg and that blacks are standing on the threshold of new political activism. In addition to encourage blacks to vote, Martin Luther King III, the son of the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King was also in town to urge blacks to attend a March on Washington, D.C. on August 27. "It's the 20th anniversary of the considering legislation to underwrite programs to retrain teachers in other subjects to teach math and science, and to upgrade the skills of those already teaching in those fields. In addition, 31 states have acted on or are considering raising high school graduation requirments, including those for mathematics and science.

Some states are also considering establishing specialized boarding high schools, patterned after North Carolina's High School for mathematics and science, for their most talented students. A number of legislatures are supporting summer institutes and special school-year programs for math and science students. In about 45 states, statewide commissions, task forces, and study groups are examining all aspects of the situation in science and math education and how it effects their economy and the quality of their public schools.

Unless one candidate rolls up a majority in the first primary, the two top vote-getters will enter a runoff on Aug. 23 and the winner will meet Leon Bramlett, a Clarksdale farmer-businessman who is unopposed for the Republican nomination, in the November general election. Secretary of State Ed Pittman's office forecast a turnout of 690,000, which would be less than half of the estimated 1.5 million registered statewide. It would compare to the 737,131 who voted in the first primary four years ago. The voters will cast ballots on state and county races from governor to constable, except in about a dozen counties where contests for supervisor and constable were postponed by federal courts because redistricting plans were not approved in time.

Polls in the 2,070 precincts across the 82 counties will open at 7 a.m. CDT and close at 6 p.m. A three-way battle for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination was predicted from the outset, and pre-election polls showed Miss Gandy, a 62-year-old lawyer, as front-runner, with Allain second and Sturdivant pressing him for a place in the runoff. With the major candidates all supporting industrialization efforts and such education improvements as public kindergartens authorized by the 1982 Legislature and expressing concern about utility rates, the campaign involved mostly claims about who could do the best job and complaints about opposition tactics. Miss Gandy lost her 1979 gubernatorial bid when she was unable to March on Washington where my father delivered his 'I Have A Dream' speech," King said.

King, who is a fund raiser for the MLK Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, said that he's not under any extreme pressure to follow in his father's footsteps, but that he enjoys doing work similar to his. "I enjoy it. There's a sense of accomplishment in doing these (get-out-and vote) kinds of things. You feel like you are really accomplishing the goals you set out to accomplish." 60S STRUGGLE FROM page 1 A day's Democratic primary elections. In a a speech to a crowd of about 150 people at Rowan Center, Lewis said: "It's a pleasure to be here in this city because my old organization, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), spent a great deal of time in this town and took a great deal of interest in what happened to Clyde Kinnard and Vernon Dahmer.
