EDT Governor Holshouser, Liddy Dole, Dave Flaherty, distinguished officials and guests: It is great to get together with one of my family again, our third son, Steve Ford. I also wish to express my deep appreciation for the fact that an old and very dear friend of mine, Congressman Jim Broyhill, is here. For many, many reasons, it is a great privilege and a very high honor to be back here in the Tarheel State, and I thank you for the wonderfully warm and hospitable welcome. In Kansas City, I promised not to concede a single vote or a single State. I meant it, and let me give you where I have been to prove the point. Some people have said, well, I have been spending my time in the Rose Garden. Some people have been saying I have been hiding out. Hell, here is the itinerary. Today I was in Virginia, now in North Carolina, and later in South Carolina; last week in Oklahoma, Texas; the week before in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. I don't think that is hiding out in Washington, D. c. (Laughter) A couple of weeks ago I opened up the State Fair in Texas, but Jim Holshouser told me if I wanted to see a really big fair, I would have to come to North Carolina.

But before that vote took place, William Griffith, vice president for student affairs, told the legislature he had already de­ cided to house freshman athletes on West Campus with other freshmen by the fall of 1987. President Keith Brodie, athletic di­ rector Tom Butters and basketball coach Mike Kryzewzski had previously voiced their preference for such a move. "I feel that we will accommodate fresh­ man student athletes on West next year, and that other freshmen will be involved," he said. Griffith said earlier Monday that the Residential Life Task Force, an advisory body, will seek the best alternative for housing freshman in the spring.

In Grateful Memory R H B (-) R A D (-) M H R (-) J R S (-) W G S (-) So many friends and colleagues—from the faculty, from the sta, from the ranks of the alumni—have helped me during the writing of this History that I dare not even begin to list them all. I hope that they will forgive me if I do not mention them, one by one, but instead single out a few people whose contributions have been necessary and continuing. First, I want to acknowledge the authors of the een “In Retrospect” essays, all of them students during the Scales presidency. I hope that readers of this History will appreciate, as much as I do, their memories and observations as providing a perspective on campus life that I would not have been qualied to give. Members of the sta of the Z. Smith Reynolds Library have been unfailingly ready to assist me, but I must name, as having been particu- larly helpful, Julia Bradford from the University archives. I don’t know how many times she has opened the locked door of the sixth oor stacks so that I could explore papers and documents that I needed to consult.
