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.

Broyhili. now in his fifth term in the House, said the President '"has also taken some bold and imaginative steps to deal with the serious domestic problems facing this nation. "lie has taken the initiative to propose a complete revamping of our welfare system," Broyhili said. "He has not been content, like many politicians, just to say. 'Our welfare system is a national disnrace.' concentrate on individual voter 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 nghsh proposed a S 1 .50 per semester increase in student fees to hire a full-time s t a t f of lawyers, scientists, environmentalists and people "trained In virtually every problem that effects the sviciety as a whole." The staff would be directed by a regional board of student directors reform 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. A former executive with Broyhili Furniture Industries in Lenoir, Broyhili is the ranking minority member of the House commerce and finance subcommittees. He has also been active with the Lenoir Chamber of Commerce and has served with the North Carolina Development Association and the Hardwood Research Council.

Ben to chairmen of the House and Senate higher educat ion committees. 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 tor the plan and had presented it only a! the request ot a group of legislators ., , , tvtn ti m PK elected from similar bourd -i Students would be able to vote ;n a campu-w;de referendum on whether or 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. "... n -i - -V ,i -.' - u- U" ms - - III 1 No. it s not the FBI.
