Anyone acting in behalf of a candidate, or against a candidate must register with the county elections board as a political action commit tee, according to Brock Once registered, all func tions of this committee must take place openly and under its registered name. And this is where the "Frazier ballot" situa tion gets fuzzy. Frazier says the second ballot was his idea, but in small print at the bot tom of the "Frazier ballot" were the words:; "Paid for by Committee to Reelect Allen." At the top of the ballot was this phrase Committee recommends the follow ing." The only difference between that phrase and what was on the ballot distributed by Lovett's group were the words: "..ion the Affairs of Black People." ' So the questions are the following: Was Frazier, in this political ploy, acting as The Durham Commit tee;: and, if he was,' is thai group properly registered? Did the Committee to Reelect Allen act under another, unregistered name on Tuesday? According to Brock, someone would have to ask the local District At- them walked by into the poll ing place.

Tuesday's confronta tion between Frazier and the Durham Committee was not the first time the outspoken NAACP president and the long time local group have crossed swords.

Later the Durham Com mittee endorsed the pro ject as well. But, as Lovett noted Tuesday night, Frazier's efforts in the runoff raise even larger questions.

Transfer students who work and who maintain ed a "B" average while in college will be admit ted. Former students of Durham College will be accepted only if they maintained a a. average while in atten dance at that institution. According , to the pro spectus, the initial academic program at the college will include courses in business ad ministration, computer technology, management have two years of college and computer science.

Jacobs Attorney at Law ' 3-31 RALEIGH "Where there is" Peace, there is Justice" is the motto of a newly formed and well organized Pre-Law Club at Saint Augustine's Col lege. These 24 students are pursuing a career in the field Of law, major ing in pre-law in the Poitical Science depart ment. . The goals of this law oriented organization are to seek a better understanding of the poitical - and ' judicial system on the local, state, and national level. During their stay at the college, they will visit law schools in the area, including North ; Carolina Central Univer sity,,School of Law, The University of North Carolina School of Law, and Campbell Law School. These on-site visits will enable these students to obtain first hand knowledge concer ning the necessary skills they must bring into a school of law. On the local level, these students keep in close contact and sometimes work' with politicians, lawyers, and others in the political and judicial system. One of the pre-law students had this to say, "Interac ting with law practi tioners and other persons involved in the political process aids us tremen dously' in bur prepara tion for the law profes sion. As a result, we have a clear understanding of the hard work and sacrifices involved." These remarks . came from Michael Bridges, a sophomore, pre-law ma jor of Raleigh. On the state level the organization par ticipated in a Govern ment . Awareness sym posium and a city coun cil forum. They were also involved in a Black Awareness march held in Raleigh last semester. The highlight of the year was jAeirJnvolve ment in government on the national level. The members of the organization were expos ed to congressmen andi senators. They were in volved with other Pre Law organizations from various colleges and universities across the United States. In the future the Pre Law organization will observe a Pre-Law Day. This special day will be celebrated by attorneys, political activists, judicial members, and pre-iaw students. 3 Officers of the Pre law:. Club at Saint Augustine's College are: Brian Lewis, president; Dennis Lyons, vice presi dent; Ms. Alice Hardy, secretary; and Michael Bridges, treasurer.

The . activists are gone.' t The question then becomes, , can NBIPP revive the movement and White Voters (Continued From Front) disbelief . and shock' tine. Covered many of their faces.' . . They had assumed that in the runoff tljey would pick up some of the vote of , the third place finisher, Roxboro attorney Jim Ramsey,, .and that those votes, along with their own would lead them to vic tory. But such was not the case. During .the June 29th primary, Ramsey receiv ed 24,062 votes, while Valentine received 34,247, and Michaux garnered 46,538. Yet, with only about 45 per cent of the vote, Michaux was forced into a runoff since he did not win fifty per cent of the' vote. The strategy of the Valentine camp from the very beginning was to force Michaux into a runoff. The Durham lawyer, himself, as well as his chief aides, had' hoped to avoid one. . Unlike previous runoffs, a low showing of black voters was not determinative. Here is what derailed the Michaux effort creating a new political term in North Carolina, "whiteballing." In Durham County, for instance, Michaux received 15,540 votes this time. Valentine received 10,750. In the June primary, Valentine received 5,418 votes and Ramsey received 5,830. It appeared that the Ramsey voters simply switched their votes from one white candidate to another. Results from within Durham County were even more illuminating. During the June 29th election, Michaux receiv ed 799 votes at the Holt School Precinct and Valentine, 173. This time, Valentine picked up a sizeable number Of the 206 voters who had cast their ballots for Ramsey, giving him a total of 332 while Michaux dropped to 762. Valentine received 276 votes this time at the Forest Hills Precinct while Michaux receive, I 231. Michaux had wo: the earlier contest then by picking up 228 vote . to 143 for Ramsey and 95 for Valentine. At Durham Higl' School, Michaux receiv ed 164 votes, while Valentine received 136. During the June primary, Michaux had received 190 votes while , Ramsey received 95 and Valentine received 71. At the West Durham Community Center, Michaux received 203 votes,? while Valentine received 461. During the first primary, Michaux received 237 voles there. Valentine 254, and ainscy 25 1 . Once again, appeared that .the white voters all switched from Ramsey to Valcn- repface the activists? 4 Ms. Arnwine: wonlt, f sajryes-crjo, but she . does say thaTwliatever , happens will take time, "Nothing like this oc curs instantly," she said. "What went wrong with, many of the black mnvpmrntt nf thff nat i' that people expected tns tant cures to social ills '.that had . been perpetuated for cen turies. When the cure wasn't instant, they, became disillusioned and gave up the struggle." To that extent, NBIPP is different, because its ' cimtvwforc hvm . disillusioned and started a new struggle. . At about 10 p.m., Tuesday evening, one Michaux campaign aide said to another, "I think ;we lost." It appeared 'from looking at results that a pattern of whites leaping from Ramsey to Valentine had developed across the district and that Michaux was getting little, if any, of the Rox boro lawyer's first primary election Vote. At 10:30 p.m., with 85 per cent of the district's precincts reporting, Michaux was down' by nearly 10,000 votes and there was no hope. A calm, relaxed, candidate put on his jacket, and : left his political "war jroom" to face the cameras. "I am con ceding this election," he said. Then the crying really began. Michaux sup porters and workers who had knocked on doors and visited churches throughout the district since last October cried alone and in each others arms. . It was reminiscent of the early 60's when blacks and whites who had worked together, i cried together at rallies, church meetings, or funerals. Michaux went about telling his supporters and workers not to be sad and thanked each of them for their assistance. He did not cry. He had a look of incredulousness on his face. One aide said, "I . think we placed too . much faith in the judge- ment of some of the voters. When it came time for them to show thier true colors, they really did. I just don't believe this is happening." Michaux refused to be critical of anyone. His downtown headquarters was packed. He told7 a gathered crowd that. "this was just the begtri-V ning of something that could not be stopped. We are on a high roll. The state has not heard the last from us yet," he told them. Visibly shaken was Michaux's younger brother. Eric. For a brief momct 1 they looked directly at one another and Mickey told Eric to ! "hold on. This is just the ' beignning." ; i "The voters of the 2nd district had a ureal on- v - v portunity to send -a message to the likes of Jesse Helms and to the nation," one Michaux supporter said as the crowd was leaving the i . .t . . blew it this time. What the voters did was to tell Helms that he's okay: and that we are sending somebody from the se . cond (Valentine) to Washington to join his political side show which is anti-progress and anti black." . . ... 7:00 P.M.
