HEAR TERRENCE O'NEILL Vol. LIV Ward Plan Defeated In G'boro The modified ward plan was defeated in a Greensboro ref erendum last Tuesday. The unofficial vote totals were 11,231 against the modified ward system and 8,247 for it. Tuesday was the second time within a year that a ward system had come before Greensboro vot ers. Ward system proponents were encouraged by the closeness of the vote. Last December, the "Plan B" ward system was de feated by a ratio of over 2 to 1. Most of the city councilmen elected in recent years have been residents of precincts located in the predominantly white, wealthy northwest section. These pre cincts voted heavily for the pres ent system. BIACKS FAVOR WARD PI.AN Blacks in the southeast area of Greensboro voted heavily for the ward plan. There was also considerable support for the de feated plan among the predom inantly white, low-and middle income precincts. The proposed ward plan would have divided the city into eight wards, each electing a council man. A mayor and two additional councilmen would have been elec ted at large. The city manager would have been retained under the ward plan. Guilford College students and faculty, along with students and faculty members from other Greensboro colleges, were active in the Citizens for Representa tive Government, an organization formed to promote the ward sys tem. Other civic organizations which endorsed the modified ward plan include The League of Voters, and the Greens boro Chapter of the NAACP.
