The Campaign for Young Voters last
weekend launched a statewide drive to
register young people to vote and named
a UNC student as state coordinator at a
meeting in Greensboro.
Charles Jeffress, the coordinator, said
the group also adopted a charter and
prepared plans for its local registration
drives.
"We already have drives underway in
Charlotte-Mecklenburg, where a
liquor-by-the-drink referendum is coming
up in November, and in Davidson
County, where there will soon be a bond
referendum." Jeffress said Monday.
Jeffress has received reports from 10
local organizations already setting up
drives "We have representatives in foe
other areas where things will be
happening in the next tew months." he
added "The main emphasis in the drives is
on registering to bote." Jeffress said and
added. "The local groups can decide what
the important local issues are and then

Chapel Hill Mavor Howard Lee refuted
Monday a wire service report naming him
as a possible candidate for the 2nd
District Congressional seat.
Unite Press International reported
Monday that Lee "revealed during a
Democratic Party fund-raising at fair at
Atlantic Beach during the weekend that
he is considering a bid tor Congress."
Lee said he did not mention anv
intentions to run for Congress at the
meeting. He added that it is still loo earlv
to make any definite decision on his
future political plans.
Lee admitted he has considered the
seat but has some reservations.
"Like most people. I wish we were still
in the 4th Congressional District. Lee
said. "If we were. I would be much more
interested in a congressional seal. Any
candidate will have a hard time
mobilizing forces in the 2nd District.
"As I have mentioned a number ot
times. 1 have a number of options open to
me." Lee continued. "I am still strongly
considering the position of Commission
of Labor. I still feel I have a month or so
before I must make a decision."

Broyhili. now in his fifth term in the

a complete revamping of our welfare

education."
He said telephone canvassing will be a
big part of the registration drives. "We
will be canvassing from the university
campuses, getting lists from local high
schools and working within the
community." Jeffress said.
Locally, the campaign hopes to get
Orange County registration books on
campus sometime in October, the
coordinator said.
Jeffress said Campaign for Young
Voters will be using radio public service
announcements and posters to advertise
its campaign.
Local groups hope to organize
transportation to elections board offices.
"I he local groups will be setting up
target dates by which time they expect to
have a certain number of young people
registered." he said.
The registration group will assist the

the Organized Crime Control Act and the
Comprehensive Drug Control Act.
In the future, he said, there is also a
need for more substantive environmental
programs, an end to inequities due to
race, religion, sex and economic position
and a solution to the U.S. drug problem
"which not only rehabilitates drug users
but also seeks to identify deeper reasons
why such a sizable segment of our society
turns to drugs."
As part of the Carolina College
Republicans' annual membership drive,
Broyhili encouraged the audience to work
in voter registration drives and to
persuade young people to register
Republican.
"You might say, 'Where do I begin?
What can 1 do?' As a starting point," he
said. "1 would remind you that there are
7 5 0.000 potential voters in North
Carolina between 18 and 21 years of age.
These young people share many of your
views, goals and ideals.
"You can identify with them, talk
with them, answer their questions about
the Republican Party and encourage them
to register as Republicans."
Broyhili suggested that the UNC
chapter begin a grass roots campaign,
establishing political organizations on
campus similar to city and county
precincts with leaders in each dormitory
working to organize registration drives.
In saying the purpose of politicians is
defining the common good and
organizing the community to achieve that
common good, he encouraged young
people to become involved in politics.
"View it as the creative, meaningful,
moral and responsible sphere that lies at
the center of what America believes, what
she has achieved and what she stands
for." Broyhili said.

Rep. Ike Andrews ( D-Chatham ). who
also presented the plan at a weekend
caucus, could nct be reached for
comment.
Ihe plan not only would keep the
Consolidate L'nuversity untouched but
also would strengthen and rename the
Board ot Higher I ducation. A group ot
University trustees endorsed the measure
m a closed session Sunday .
Burney said he had sought no support

not they want to ;ncreae student tees.
tr.ghsh said his next course will be to
distribute petitions among the students
and submit the signed copies to the Bo..:d
of Trustees at each ur.iverv.tv .
He said the proposal will then go to
the individual student legislatures for
consideration.
The Oregon State University graduate
said similar organizations set up in
Oregon and Minnesota have worked "very
well" and Nader's forces are planning to
have consumer groups set up in 2 5 other
states by the end of the ear.
"The function of such a group is to be
a funnel through which participants can
identify with problems in the
community." Fnghsh said. "It will serve
as a dry sponge of sorts to pool as man;,
human resources as possible into s lvmg
these problems."
He said the reaction from student
leaders at each campus he visited was
"very positive."
"The only problem is that everyone is
concerned whether or not they can get
the approval of their trustees," Fr.glish
said. "For a long time trustees and
politicians have emphasized working
through the system and basically this is
an effort to do such."
He added it is uncertain whether state
schools can legally collect funds tor the
organizations, but similar problems did
not affect the Orecon and Minnesota
organizations.
English said student fees intended for
the consumer group should be collected
by the local board of directors and
shifted to the regional board for control
"I also believe a provision should be
made whereby after two or three weeks a
student would be able to get his miney
back if he wants." Fnglish said. "That
would provide a more solid economic
basis for the group to work with."
Fnglish said he is merely setting the
groundwork for the organizations that
it is the students who must really do the
work.
