PERSONALITY PROFILE Betty Jo Clary Chuck liar I man Of High Point ByLANEKERR A pair of effervescent, associated with High Point College will take on two important administrative jobs on a temporary basis this year. Miss Betty Jo Clary, who has spent most of her life in her native High Point, has been named to the post of acting head of the Physical Education and a Department at the college. Charles "Chuck" Hartman, head baseball coach at the college, has taken on the responsibilities of a i Director of Athletics for the year. For a number of years, both posts were held by one person. Both Miss Clary and Hartman have classroom responsibilities in addition to coaching.

Getting back to adjective in the first sentence: Effervescent. Mr. Webster gives two definitions in his case for proper usage of the English language. One would indicate a person who shows liveliness or exhilaration. Both Miss Clary and Hartman qualify for that.

Then there is a definition of effervescent; one that baseball umpires might, at various times, tend to apply to Hartman: To bubble, hiss, and foam, as carbonated water. Hartman looks after his boys on the diamond. When he thinks one of the men in blue might have boo-booed, Coach Chuck definitely takes an adamant stand and warns the umpire as to the error of his ways--not to mention his eyesight. "But I was only thrown out of two games this summer in Virginia," he boasts. Hartman is beginning his eleventh year at the college and Miss Clary joined the staff in 1962.

Both are assistant professors in the Physical Education and Health department. MISS CLARY, or as she is called by friends a i graduated from High Point Central High school and earned her bachelor's -degree at Western Carolina College. She received her master's from Woman's College, now the University of Carolina at Greensboro and has continued advanced work there. Before coming to HPC, she taught two years at West Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte. A fine athlete, as well as teacher, she was the regular second baseman for two years on the North Carolina State championship Softball team.

MISS CLARY, HARTMAN Spectator sports? Her eyes light up as a mystic's would when you mention ball especially professional football. "If there's a game on, you won't find me anywhere except in front of the tube," she said. Hartman, whose parents are about the only two persons he knows who still call him Charles, was born in Gastonia where he played baseball, basketball and football while in high school. He was captain of the baseball and basketball teams in his senior year. His interest in basketball has held over to the point where he is a regular member of the officiating team of Atlantic Coast Conference.

He received his bachelor and master's degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he played varsity baseball and soccer. He was named second a All Conference in baseball during his junior year. While in graduate school he was selected to coach both baseball and soccer freshmen teams. WHEN HE CAME to High Point he was a i assistant basketball coach and tennis coach. In 1959 he took on the job of head baseball coach--not a i i invitation for a young coach since the team had only won eight games in the three previous seasons.

His teams have never failed to quality for the Carolinas tournament which is made up of the top four teams in regular season play. In 1965 i a a i nship--the first baseball championship the college had won since the sport began on campus in the middle twenties. He i up the championship trophy again in 1967 and once more this past season he came back to the campus with with, the glitter and gold signifying No. 1. His over-all college record is 177 wins and 136 losses.

In 1967 and 1968 he coached the American Legion team in Greensboro for a two-year record of 41 wins and 13 losses. In 1968 his Legionnaires won the state championship and Hartman was named the outstanding Legion coach of North Carolina. This past summer coached a semi-pro team in Harrisburg, Va. to a 38-10 record in the Valley League. His team won the -season pennant and then went on to President's Cup, emblematic of the championship.

Now, facing the responsibilities of new administrative duties, both Miss Clary and Hartman are ready for another year. AN EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK The Law Benders By JENKIN LLOYD JONES The rhubarbs arising over President Nixon's effort to name Judge Clement Haynsworth Jr. to the U. S. Supreme Court illustrate what's wrong with the court.

We have come to look upon its members not as interpreters of the law, but as law benders. And whether we think a nominee will bend the law toward our prejudices or away from them governs our reaction toward the nomination. The court, of course, has always been made up human beings, and human beings are composites of experience, temperament and points of view. No man is totally judicious. In the 166 years since Marbury vs.

Madison, the case in which John Marshall made the court the official interpreter of the Constitution, lawyers have always tried to guess the proclivities of the august justices. But no Supreme Court in American history ever departed so far from tha narrow business of interpretation and ventured so boldly into deeper waters of manufacturing law as did the War- JONBS rcn Court. The Warren Court became the darling of the "liberals" because, regardless of what law or precedent might say, it generally imposed a "liberal" solution by quoting the First, Fifth or Fourteenth amendments. It appeared to be the attitude of a majority of the court that social justice was its function and that where law or old interpretations of the law fell short of social justice the court should find a remedy. After all, didn't the preamble of the Constitution say that government should "promote the general Whether the Warren Court advanced the general welfare naturally depended on one's beliefs.

The court, example, struck down practically all legislation imposing restrictions on Communists. This attitude toward Communists, treating them as though they were no more dangerous than members of an odd-ball religious sect, gave conservatives apoplexy, but many liberals hailed it as a magna carta for freedom of conscience and a final interment of "McCarthyism." Law enforcement became manifestly more difficult after the Mallory, Miranda and Escobedo decisions. Conservatives joined with police and prosecutors in pointing to the rocketing crime rates and the diminishing percentage crimes solved by conviction as evidence that the court had hamstrung justice. Many liberals, on the other hand, defended the court's novel conclusions on the grounds that it was trying to correct sloppy or brutal police methods in the interest of justice for ail. BUT THE essential fact was that the Warren gradually paid less and less attention to what the law said and more and more to what it believed the law really meant, or what the "true intent" of Congress must have been.

If we are going to have this kind of a court, it is quite natural that the background attitudes and biases of justices should assume more importance than ever before. There is a lot of difference between law interpreting and law bending. Thus, on Aug. 20 when AFL- CIO President George Meany announced that he would vigorously oppose Haynsworth's confirmation, he was probably not discounting the judge's legal ability or his honesty. He was merely expressing a fear that Judge Haynsworth's biases might not conform to the interests of the AFL-CIO.

The Capital Beat By LESLIE CARPENTER WASHINGTON world's foremost heroes of the century the Apollo 11 astronauts will likely find their two-month tour of the globe a greater physical strain than reaching the surface of the moon. Vacationers back abroad confirm what federal agencies the a Department, U.S. Information Agency and others have been saying: that the world is ga-ga over the astronauts and that the moon landing is the most spectacular American propaganda coup in history. On the basis of what has already happened, police may not be able to keep mobs under control as astronauts and their wives visit every continent. USIA became acquainted with hysteria over astronauts when the agency carried live telecasts of the moon landing on all the TV sets it could round up at various posts.

The agency's center iij Lome, Togo, in West Africa, had to close down because the police were unable to cope with crowds fighting for position to get to the TV sets. The place was a i damaged. In Buenos Aires, Argentina, a mob crashed through all protective barriers for better views of USIA's TV sets, again causing serious damage and sending many home with cuts and bruises. It was the same story in other cities. Moving quickly to take advantage of the most exciting picture story America ever had to show a fascinated world, the USIA is currently rushing 150 prints of the telecast from the moon in 30 languages to 110 nations.

More, in additional languages, will be sent as soon as they can be completed. In the Soviet Union and its satellites, USIA is not allowed to show films outside the U.S. embassy. They can screened there before invited guests. In other places, USIA will offer the film to local TV and to movie theaters.

The film has every promise of being seen by more people than any in history. I A a a professionally magazines and pamphlets on the moon trip, plus several million red, white and blue lapel buttons with a picture of the Eagle (the landing craft) and the word, "Apollo." Reports from Sweden are that the buttons go for $2 each on the black market, although. USIA gives them away. Their production cost is about one penny. Within USIA, the question of whether to add, "U.S.A.," to the button was extensively debated.

The decision was to omit it as both unnecessary and chauvinistic, since there is hardly anybody, even in the remote villages, not aware of which nation put men on the moon. Interestingly, NASA is, with President Nixon's approval, virtually by-passing the State Department and making all the plans itself for the Armstrong Aldrin Collins global good will trip which will cover most important places in the world except the Soviet Union and Red China. As things stand now, those two Communist giants don't want the Apollo 11 crew inside their borders. The State Department had not been consulted when Astronaut Frank a accepted an official Soviet Invitation to visit the U.S.S.R. That trip paid off at a critical moment later.

When Neil Armstrong and "Buzz" Aldrin were having difficulty making their moon landing, the control center in Houston was terrified that the Soviet satellite, also orbiting the moon, might smash into the Eagle. Borman grabbed a phone, placed a call to a top Soviet scientist he had met on the trip and asked if there was danger of a collision. Borman was told there was not.

High Point Enterprise, Sunday, August 31, 1969 5A SUNDAY ACCENT The lesson Of Woodstock The young people have fooled us again.

When over 300,000 of them poured into small White Lake, N.Y., for the Woodstock music festival, we expected the worst. Riots. Destruction of property. Disorders. Orgies.

Unbridled sex. Dope and LSD. The first news i bolstered the fervid expectations. Traffic was jammed for miles on the road into the small community. The hillsides and pastures of the farm where the festival was to take place swarmed with young men and women.

Their hair was long. The boys often were bearded. Boys and girls both were dressed casually. Sometimes, they were not dressed at all, and sometimes there was nude swimming in the ponds and streams on and about the farm. It seemed the corrupt young generation was in a bash to its gods of anarchy and sex.

But it did not happen that way. The 300,000 young people came together, from all over the country, drawn by a community of spirit. By ROBERT MARKS They came and listened and enjoyed themselves and departed. And it was all done with an innocence as beguiling as it is refreshing. The police were not called out.

The National Guard did not have to be alerted. There was no trouble. And when all those young people had departed, many others across the country felt a sense of i a i that their expectations of a debauchery were not fulfilled. We should consider carefully the lesson of Woodstock. For one thing, we are too quick to pass judgment upon the young people.

We look at the long hair, the beards, and the sometimes scraggy an outlandish clothes, and we assume the worst. We judge too quickly, and then we refuse to listen. What are they saying? What are the questions they are asking? What are they seeking? We cannot know the answers to these questions, we cannot really know the young people or understand them, unless we stop to listen to them. Then, perhaps, we can begin to know and understand ourselves, too. Woodstock was a community put together and taken apart in one weekend.

But surely Woodstock lives on in the spirit those young people showed in the time they were together there. It is a spirit of peace and love and sharing. It is a spirit of the realization of people as persons, here and there, and over yonder, now, everywhere, people becoming persons, breaking down into individuals who have thoughts and dreams and ambitions interesting to meet and know, if only for a short while. The young people do not have all the answers. They do not claim to have all the answers.

But they are asking questions, and they are seeking. They are filled with the innocence of love, but not of ignorance. They are trying to tell us something, about themselves, about ourselves, about the world, and it is time for us to listen. DAVIDSON DATELINE Anti-Poverty In Poor limes LEXINGTON The executive director of Davidson Community Action has resigned. The assistant director was fired.

The president of the board of directors was ousted Thomasville City Council chose not to reappoint him to the board. Now what? It appears that the county antipoverty program will wilt on the vine and rapidly die. There doesn't appear to be anyone ready to step forward and take over leadership in the program and fashion it into a workable organization. Even many members of the board of directors have not shown much interest in the program. Now executive director Garber Davidson Jr.

is leaving Sept. 15 to go to law school after firing Thomas Bailey weeks a i President Charles f. Lambeth, still vitally interested in DCCA, will be an outsider looking on without any official capacity. A remote possibility that one of the present directors, such as Rev. W.

Banks of Thomasville, will "take hold" and attempt to keep the agency going. Otherwise, the work and money, hopes and disappointments of the past two years will go into Davidson County history as an experiment that didn't work. By BOB BURCHETTE DAVIDSON WROTE to Lambeth in his letter of resignation: "The battle against poverty in Davidson County has begun, but it is far from being won. Change must be made not only in the allocation of resources, but in the minds and hearts of men. I leave Davidson County with the knowledge that the poor can in fact help themselves but that the total community must spend a vastly greater effort to change its i i i and consequently abolish poverty." THE CLERK of Thomasville Recorder's Court says he needs more help because business is so good (or should we say because people are so Only clerk Roy Westmoreland and assistant Earl Thompson are available for handling of the multitude of work, and they also must be available for 24-hour day calls to issue warrants.

Westmoreland would settle for some part-time help, but can't get it approved. District Judge Robert A. Collier also has recognized the Thomasville problem and has recommended more help be hired. It doesn't appear to be a matter of money because the court took in $18,000 more last year than had been anticipated. Sounds i business is good.

WE DIDN'T have time to rent a tux, but we helped a get married last week. The preacher assured the couple that he doesn't tie any slip knots and proceeded to get the job done. The bride smiled; the groom looked real serious and shifted from one foot to the other. We suspect he was nervous. He finally got the rings out of his pocket and they put 'em on their fingers.

Afterwards, a few of us had to sign a bunch of papers to help make it legal. One fellow wondered out loud about all of that signing and about where those papers had to be sent. We told him we didn't know. We hadn't had experience at that kind of thing. "I've only done this one time before, and I don't remember much about it.

"All I know is that when it's done, it's done." MISS PRIDE is complaining about kindergarten. "Those other kids won't let me play in the kitchen." She also complained, "The teacher told me yesterday I could be the leader, but I wasn't. She made me hold the door open." TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT Winthrop Is Political Underdog By ERNEST CUNEO North American Newspaper Alliance SEARCY, ARK. Searcy, seat of White County, is about 50 miles Northwest of Little Rock. Searcy a pretty prairie town which can get pretty hot, around 95 degrees, by mid-afternoon.

When at 8 a.m., an air-conditioned bus marked "Office of Governor Winthrop Rockefeller" pulled up in Searcy's picturesque courthouse square, there occurred a study in startling contrasts. For one thing, White County is the home of Congressman Wilbur Mills, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Almost revered in his home state, Mills is perhaps the decisive factor in how much money the U. S. government itself will get from Congress.

Since this runs to about $190 billion a year, the a of Gov. Rockefeller, brother of New York's Nelson Rockefeller, public and private, are by comparison a mere pittance. Further, the Republican governor is the political underdog, being surrounded by more Democrats than Gen. Custer was surrounded by braves of Sitting Bull. To add to the contrast, no one enjoys it more than the governor of Arkansas, probably the happiest warrior since Gov.

Al Smith of New York. He is six-feet-three with the huge grin to go with it. Like big Jim Farley, and equally incongruously, he has the delicate hands of a violinist and the feet of a dancing master. In Arkansas, he is credited with a photographic mind and an elephant's memory, the equal of Farley's legendary faculty. This is strelclung things a bit, though it is undoubtedly Rockefeller is as familiar a figure in the 76 counties of Arkansas as Big Jim is in the major capitals of the world.

Just as President John F. Kennedy's movements suggested Jack Delaney, the Bridegport flash, Gov. Winthrop Rockefsller emanates the physical power of Big Jack Sharkey, the Boston Sailor. The analogy runs further. Both Sharkey and Rockefeller could and did take terrific punishment.

Both got up off the deck and went on to win; But again by contrast, Rockefeller': deck was on fire and he was badly injured when he staggered to his feet. Nine out of 10 strangers looking at Rockefeller would guess he was a veteran combat infantry officer, and they would be correct. Nine months before Pearl Harbor, he entered the U. S. Army as a private, a position for which his training in the best eastern prep schools and Yale University adequately qualified him.

Previously, he had worked in Texas oil fields as a roustabout from which he quickly rose to the rank roughneck, which, of course, at once marked him as officer material. As Maj. Rockefeller, he led the first wave assault of the 305th Infantry, 77th Division, on Guam, This usually results in the award of a medal or a coffin he got the medal. He again led the assault when the 77th broke the Japanese flank at Leyte. He was awarded another medal, but narrowly missed a coffin at Okinawa, where he became an Army legend.

The troopship U.S.S. Henrico with the 305th aboard was nosing in for the attack when a Japanese suicide pilot crashed it with two 500-pound The blast killed 75 men and wounded 150, and hurled Rockefeller's sergeant into the ocean. With crushed legs, the unconscious man was slipping from his lifebelt when Rockefeller, though terribly burned himself, dived in and held the sergeant's head above water until rescued. Hauled aboard, Rockefeller was informed he was senior officer, all staff officers having been killed on the bridge. In the next 24 hours, Rockefeller earned the infantry's highest decoration, his statue in the infantry's Hall of Fame at Fort Benning.

Refusing the oblivion of morphine though badly wounded, Rockefeller took command of the ship, organized aid for the wounded, comfojt for the dying and the care of the dead. He remained at his post relieved, thus maintaining the highest traditions of the U. S. infantry..
