Several candidates pledged to
uphold the nghts of the average
Georgian rather than the monied
few. Senator Gambrell stated, "No
longer will campaigns be won by
the meeting of the rich in country
clubs, this one will be won on the
streets.**
*‘A candidate won’t be elected
just because he has a big pile of
money,** said Jack Dorsey. “It’s
what’s in all our hearts that counts.
We’re all for motherhood and apple
pie.”
“GEORGIA’S senators are
supposed to represent Georgia in
Washington, not Washington in
Georgia,” said former Governor
Ernest Vandiver. Speaking of
Senator Gambrell, Vandiver said,
"He has voted to put gags in the
mouths of such distinguished men
as Herman Talmadge.”
Socialist Connor quoted"
Anatole France, “So long as society
is founded on injustices, the
function of the law will be to
sustain injustices.”
Connor said she favors the end
of oppression of all minorities, such
as gays, blacks, and women.
“The school system in this state
is very, very bad,” Connor said.
“The quality of education for our
children is terrible.”
JACK DORSEY, political
cohort of Lt. Governor Lester
Maddox, said. "Busing is a racket.
The money used could be spent on
improving education.”
" The federal government’s shoe
which pinched the South's foot for
st> long is beginning to pinch the
rest of the country,” Vandiver said.
“Northerners called us bigots, but
didn’t realize that black parents
were just as opposed to busing as
white parents.”
Each of the candidates favored
equal legal rights for women but
only Connor and Russell agreed
that abortions should be provided
for women upon demand.

active campaign
WASHINGTON Edmund S. Muskie withdrew from
active campaigning for the presidency Thursday and pinned
his dwindling hopes of winning the Democratic nomination
on the chance that a deadlocked convention would turn to
him.
Muskie released the 136*A delegates he won in a
two-year struggle for the nomination to go their own way
or to stand by him.
Hubert H. Humphrey, the other “centrist” in the race,
was seen as the immediate gainer from Muskie’s decision to
quit fighting in the primaries still to come.
Muskie’s decision elevated Humphrey and George S.
McGovern to the front ranks in their battle with George C.
Wallace and Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington and a
’ andful of minor candidates still in the race.
Marching Moms protest busing
WASHINGTON Fifteen “marching mothers,” limping
with foot sores after protest walks from Michigan and
Virginia, delivered antibusing petitions containing
“hundreds of thousands” of signatures Thursday to
sympathetic congressmen on the steps of the Capitol.
An estimated 2,000 visitors, who had traveled by
chartered bus and car from a dozen states from coast to
coast, welcomed them and joined their protest against
forced busing.
The several armloads of petitions filled with signatures
called on Congress to support a proposed constitutional
amendment to forbid court-ordered busing to desegregate
public schools.

tennis streak ended
By BRUCE FINLAND
All good things must come to an
end, and sadly enough that was the
case for the Georgia tennis team
yesterday afternoon. Their home
court win streak of 76 matches was
broken by the Miami Hurricanes and
with the defeat ended Georgia's
hopes for their first undefeated
season.
To say the afternoon was a
failure, though, would be a grevious
error. The largest crowd in Georgia
tennis history showed up for the epic
battle between the South's top two
teams.
Although the Hurricanes came
away with a 6-3 win, very few of the
over 3,000 Georgia spectators went
home disappointed.
IN THE singles matches, Danny
Birchmore took on Miami's highly
touted Eddie Dibbs on court one.
Dibbs played up to his advance
billing, but had his hands full with
the scrappy Birchmore. In a match
hat its viewers will remember for a
long time. Dibbs edged Danny
7-5,4-6.7-5.
On court two. Miami's Ra/ Reid
beat Bob Tanis in straight sets
6-3,6-3. On court three, Miami won
again as Joachin Rasgado beat Carey
Browder 7-6, 6-2.
GLOBISC'H of Miami followed on
court four with a 6-4, 6-2 decision
over Gordon Smith, and Alvaro Fillol
put down Bill Kopecky of Georgia

match for the Dogs with a 6-2,6-4
