EDITORIAL
Editor Gets Inside Look
At Odyssey of Chip Carter
There are certain advantages in being the editor
of a paper even a college one. One of the advan-
tages is being able to meet people. Recently I had
the pleasure of meeting James Earl Carter III
better known as Chip.
I found Chip Carter to be a very pleasant and a
very straight forward young man. When he speaks
to an audience he discusses his father's policies and
ideas but he seems to have ideas of his own.
He has very definite ideas about living in
Washington D.C.
"I have no desire to live in Washington or to be a
part of its society" Chip stated. "I do not want a
position in Washington I just want to take some of
the burden off Dad's shoulders if he is elected by
staying in Plains and running the peanut farm.
The experience of riding jn a limousine with a
police escort was a rather new experience for me. It
was rather fun watching the expressions of other
people when we passed them and ran through red
lights (legally).
While talking to Chip the subject of travel came
up. He stated that he had been to 107 cities in 37
states in one week alone and that he has been in 46
states in all during the campaign.
"traveling is fun" agreed Chip "but it tends to
get tiring you don't see much of your family and
sooner or later all the places begin to run. together
in youi mind." He laughed and remarked "I still
enjoy it though."
Looking back at that ride I'd have to say that it
was a lot of fun and certainly all too short. Kay

fact that the CHS Films Societv Drovides a m-oat
service to the city of Abilene. It offers films of the
best quality some that you would probably not
have the chance to see anywhere else.
Many McMurry students have and do attend the
movies which are held in CHS auditorium. I can
tell you from experience it is a lot of fun. If you
enjoy movies give it a try. Kay B.

and the McMurry campus
since the building of Radford
was built. Unlike an organ or
a piano tho player of the
Carillion must use his fist in-
stead of fingers. Attached to
each clapper inside the bells
is a lever and the levers take
the place of the keys on an
organ piano.
"The Carillion is a very dif-
ferent type of musical ex-
perience" commented musi-
cian Lynn King. "What holds

Lynn is a senior music
education major and prac-
tices on the Carillion every
day; usually in the early
evening. "Playing the Carill-
ion never gives the player a
chance to practice you're
always performing" com-
ments Lynn.
Hearing Lynn play would
suggest that he knows ex-
actly what he is doing due to
many hours of detailed les-
sons. But Lynn has never
