Hello, Campus Police?
There's a bomb in Grogan
Hall and it's set to go off
around 2:00. That call, which
was received by the Campus
Security office Friday
morning around 1:30 ajn.,
prompted the girls of Grogan
Hall to brave the elements for
a walk to the cafeteria,
bundled in blankets and
winter coats. There they
stayed until after police could
search the dorm.
Approximately six
Greensboro squad cars, plus
two from Campus Security,
responded to the call. They
waited until after the time
that the alleged bomb was
supposed to go off, and
proceeded to search the
building.
One city patrolman said
that they "didn't find any
bomb, but we sure did find a
lot of other stuff you'd
be amazed at what the girls
leve laying around when they
have to get up and leave at
1:00 in the morning."
The dormitory was
reopened approximately an
hour and a half later. No
further details were available
from Campus Security.

The North Carolinians for
Impeachment, held their
state-wide rally yesterday
afternoon in Memorial
Auditorium in Raleigh,
addressing themselves to the
question of the impeachment
of President Nixon.
Among those speaking for
impeachment were Michael
Curtis, a Greensboro
attorney, Wilbur Hobby,
President of the North
Carolina AFL-CIO, Larry
Littly, Coordinator of the
North Carolina Black Panther
Party, and Ford Runge,
Student Body President of
UNC-Chapel Hill. The rally
was moderated by Sarah
Evans Boyte, a part time
professor at UNC-G
Curtis said that there was
no question in his mind that
the President could be
impeached, and has in fact
"done more than any
President in history to
subvert the Constitution and
the guarantees of the Bill of
Rights." Curtis stated, that
from a legal view, the
President may be impeached
for failing to "excercise his
constitutional duty to control
his appointees and agents,"
and added that whether or
not he should be removed
from office "will be for the
Senate and ultimately for the
American people to decide
when it weighs the evidence
against him."
Hobby said that our
country is in a state of crisis
and that we must have a
President that can command
the respect of the American
people and of the Congress.
Hobby added that he believes
that President Nixon does not
know how. nor will he ever
be able, to regain this respect.
Hobby also said that
impeachment is a "fair and
honest trial where he (the
President] can prove his
innocence or guilt,. . .only
this will restore the
confidence of the.American
people in the Constitution
and in the President."
He also claimed that the
President was "obstructing
justice by calling members of
Congress to the White House
to hear him personally plead
his case." It would be the
senate's responsibility to
either acquit the President or
remove him from office.
Hobby charged the
audience that it was ihcir
responsibility lo restore
honesty in government. This,
he said, could be done
through a letter writing
campaign lo their
Congressmen expressing their
sentiments about Ihe
impeachment of the
President. He also said that
the AFL-CIO was working on
a letter writing campaign to
enable evejy union member
to express their sentiments lo
their Congressmen. The
AFL-CIO has asked for the
President to either resign or
be impeached.
Hobby concluded by
saying that he hoped Nixon
would have "his day in
court .. . and if he has his
day in court, justice will de

Dr. Florescu presents: Dracula the hero
This is the last paper for
the semester. We wish you
Merry Exams & Good
Christmas.

"Where are you, Dracula,
now that we need you?"
So goes the complaint of
the Rumanian peasants, even
today, for the Dracula
prototype, a fifteenth
century prince named Vlad
the Impaler, is still revered in
Rumania as the father and
savior of his country. Dr.
Radu Florescu, a noted
Dracula scholar and
Rumanian historian, said in a
lecture given in Aycock last
night that Vlad is
remembered as a Rumanian
George Washington even
though he killed more people,
proportionate to the size of
his country, than did Hitler
or Stalin.
Vlad the Impaler was
named, according to Dr.
Florescu, after his favorite
method of execution: he
impaled his victims on high
pointed stakes. This novel
device he applied widely and
with great success. When he
defeated an invasion of
Transylvania by the Turkish'
army (thus earning himself
the 'George Washington'
sobriquet) he impaled those
Turks he took prisoner.
To bring the nobility into
line he impaled them. He
impaled those unpatriotic to
Transylvania, the country's
indigent, those he believed to
be lawbreakers, ambassadors
who annoyed him, and
sundry others. This policy
created a condition of peace
in Transylvania and an
honesty in its inhabitants that
the country had never seen
before and perhaps since.
Vlad placed a golden,
jewel-studded goblet at a
stream so that weary travelers
might drink. It was not stolen
during all his reign.
'Vlad was known as
'Dracula,' which means *Son
of the Devil' in the old
Rumanian tongue, but there
are no indications, said Dr.
Florescu, that he was a
vampire.
Vampire myths, common
worldwide, according to Dr.
Florescu, are especially
prevalent in the Balkans.
There the native folk still
hang garlic over their lintels
and send naked virgins on
virgin horses into the
graveyards to hunt out
vampires. It is believed that
the horse will stop at a
vampire's grave.
It was the Anglo-Irish
author Bram Stoker who first
united these two
Middle-European legends and
created the Dracula known in
the West today, says Dr.
Florescu.
Florescu first lectured on
his work, then presented a
film based on IN SEARCH
OF DRACULA, a book
co-authored by himself and
Raymond McNally, an
expert on vampirism. He said
that his search for the
historical Dracula grew out of
a homesickness for Rumania,
where he was bom.
