Gerry Cohen, chairman of the Rules
Committee of the UNC Student
Legislature, has been working with
Bowles' aides and the UNC governing
body to get the bill introduced.
"1 am very glad that Sen, Bowles is
helping us (students) get our right to
vote," Cohen said. "He has always shown
great concern for students."
Cohen said the bill,, if passed, will
allow students to register at home and
vote absentee in the May 2, 1972
presidential primary and to register in
Chapel Hill and file absentee ballots for
the May 23 runoff primaries.

Orientation fo
most freshmen ever
by Norman Black
Staff Writer
The largest entering freshman class in
the history of the University will go
through orientation next August provided
; the necessary quata of student counselors
' is met, Orientation Commission Chairman
Steve LaTour said Tuesday.
'The Admissions Office is now
projecting a class of 3,100 freshman and
ijl ;1 00 junior transfers, for a total of
; 4,200 new students."
The original projection of new
students was 3,700.
-'"Because of the increase in new
students, as well as the early starting date
"for next year, we have run out of
'counselors," LaTour continued. -n
l All students interested in becoming a
counselor, including applicants who have
y'not been to a training session, are asked
Ho come to room 205 in the .Union for
''one of the three sessions scheduled this
week.
The first will meet Wednesday 7-10
p.m. The second will meet on Thursday
night, at the same time. On Friday, a
session will be held between the hours of
10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
. "The purpose of Orientation Week is
to show new students how we live at
Chpelu Htfl;, .only experienced t students
cardtfte, best Job,", commented Larry
, men's coordinator for Orientation.
,'. Orientation will-consume a full week
this year, making it two days longer than
' it has been in the past.
Since summer pre-registration has been
canceled, entering students must take
their placement exams during orientation.
Counselors for freshman would have
' to arrive in Chapel Hill on Aug. 24, and
; junior transfer counselors must arrive on
'.: Aug. 26.
Orientation will consist of
approximately. 10 seminars, including
talks . on drugs, consumer protection,
dorm living and educational alternatives.
All activities will be optional with the
exception of the Honor Code
explanation.
"We just want the students to keep
moving and take an active part instead of
hibernating in their rooms for a week.
This is perhaps the counselor's chief
responsibility," Reid said.
Efforts are also being make to make
Orientation more attractive for the
conselor.
Counselors will be able to pick up
their registration forms early.
LaTour explained he is working with
the administration in an effort to enact
visitation and self-limiting hours for
eligible students during orientation.
allowed to register to vote in Chapel
Hill," he said.
"It shouldn't be up to the state to tell
a student where he lives (by law, a
student legally resides where his parents
live) when any other adult is given the
chance to choose his place of residence,"
Cohen added.
Bowles said North Carolina allowed
absentee balloting in primaries 28 ysars
ago, but the General Assembly voted to
prohibit absentee voting in primaries for
all North Carolinians except servicemen.
"It appeared at that time that absentee
ballots were being misused and the best
thing to do seemed to be to forbid
absentee ballots in primaries altogether,"
Bowles said.
-"However," he added, "today I am
convinced we can control our election
machinery so as to prevent misuse. I am
confident the only fair thing to do is
allow all our voters the opportunity to
participate in the nominating process."
Kirk said the bill is needed at this time
because the General Assembly has
changed the primary election day from
Saturday to Tuesday.
"It will be very difficult for students,
traveling salesmen, sick persons and other
highly mobile citizens to vote in our
important primaries if we do not pass this
important legislation," he said.
Bowles said that over the past few
years, state government has done much to
insure "true equality and fairness" in the
electoral process.
"If we are genuinely dedicated to
needed electoral reform, then we must
take this additional step to insure to all
North Carolinians the opportunity to
vote in the primary regardless of where
they may be on election day," Bowles
said.

The local walk was part of the national

amount turned in thus far, but indicated
there were many people who had not yet
turned in their money.
The. YWD coordinator urged all
walkers to turn in their pledge cards and
donations at the campus YM-YWCA ; in
person or by mail as soon as possible, z
"The faster the money is collected, the
faster it . can be put to work for the
projects," Ingalls said. I
The Inter-Church Council for Social
Service is a local project which will
receive 42.5 per cent of the Hunger Walk
funds. -
The Council will use a portion of its
Walk money in its Loan and Grant Fund,
which provides financial assistance for
low income families in emergency
situations.
Ingalls said the remainder of the local
funds will allow the Inter-Church Council
to devote more staff time to
developmental assistance for the poor.
The walk's foreign project, the
American Friends Service Committee
will receive 42.5 per cent of the proceeds.
"The committee will use its share of
the money for its Agricultural
