SA Students Denied Voter
Registration Privileges
BY LANI BALDWIN
After an appeal hearing be
fore the Scotland County Board
of Elections Monday evening
three St. Andrews students were
again refused permission to
register to vote in Scotland
County. Janie McLawhorn, Jeff
Neill, and Robert Williams had
attempted to register on
November 5, and had been
turned down by the Election
Board of Scotland County.
The three petitioners were
rejected on the basis of the
Board’s interpretation of the
North Carolina Election Laws,
General Statute 163-67(3). Sec
tion three of this statute states:
“A person shall not be con
sidered to have gained a resi
dence in any county of this
state, into which he comes for
temporary pupdse only, with
out the intention of making such
county his permanent place of
abode.”
It was the Board’s inter
pretation that a college student
does not Intend to stay in Scot
land County, is therefore only
a transient resident, and is not
eligible to vote. The purpose of
the hearing was to allow the
students the opportunity to esta
blish their intent to make Scot
land County their permanent
place of residence.
One-day Art Exhibit
& Sale Here Monday
Mr. Derek Myers, Chairman
of the St. Andrews Art Depart
ment, has announced that St.
Andrews College will sponsor
an exhibition and sale of ori
ginal graphic art by contem
porary and old master artists.
Arranged by the Ferdinand Ro-
ten Galleries of Baltimore,
Maryland, the exhibition will
be held on Monday, November
22, 1971, in the Vardell Build
ing gallery. The exhibition will
be on display from 10:30 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m.
Included in the exhibition will
be over 1,000 original etchings,
lithographs, and woodcuts by
artists such as Picasso, Cha
gall, Miro, Dali, Goya, Renoir,
Kollwitz, and many others in--
eluding contemporary Ameri
can, European, and Japanese
printmakers. Prices start at
$5.00 with the majority priced
under $100.
A well-qualified representa
tive of the Roten Galleries will
be present at the exhibition to
answer any questions the public
may have regarding graphic art
and printmaking.
Established in 1932, Roten
Galleries has one of the larg
est collections of graphic art
in the country. The firm op
erates its main gallery at 123
West Mulberry Street in Balti
more. Ferdinand Roten Gal
leries specializes in arrang
ing exhibition sales of original
graphic art.
Through its one day exhibi
tion and sale program, the Gal
lery serves as an extension to
art education programs by pro
viding students and other in
terested groups an opportunity
to view and purchase a variety
of fine graphics. Last year,
Roten representatives visited
over 1,000 schools and organ
izations, and sent over 400 spe
cial exhibitions to museums.
By selling originals at prices
students can afford, Ferdinand
Roten Galleries has been able
to introduce countless young
people to the joys of collecting.
The refunding is a result of a change in m erp
price freeze regulations. At the time of fa oo ’ .
latest advice from legal counsel of the Natlona
College Stores was to.“sell books at the publis er ® unked
as stated on the invoice”. The initial interpre a ion
the list price to the net bookstore price. However, xj-gij.
Living Council has since Issued specific Interpre
own, to the effect that pre-freeze list prices a„tiiallv be
regardless of publisher prices; thus bookstores wi
selling some Items below their cost.

-dove- BY MARIO AVATI, one of the printmakers whose
works are included in the exhibition.
Janie McLawhorn began the
proceedings by reading a brief
pertaining to all three petition
ers. In it, points established
included the fact that the resi
dency requirement is met by one
year of stay in the county; that
employment or lack of em
ployment is not a qualification;
that the students’rented dormi
tory rooms are no more an in
dication of transient status than
a rented room in a boarding
house; that the payment or non
payment of property status is
not a relevant qualification; and
that the prevention of fraud or
the fear of how students may
vote are no longer constitutlon-
ally acceptable reasons for
withholding the franchise. Also,
It was pointed out that In the 1970
census, students at St, Andrews
were considered residents of
Scotland County for the pur
poses of legislative apportion
ment, and the denial of student
voting rights would be a con
tradiction of the “one man,
one vote” principle.
Still, the only issue at stake
was whether the students really
intended to stay in the county.
Rob Williams, a 23-year old
ex-serviceman and a junior at
S. A., was then permitted to
read his personal brief. He
stated that he was born in
Winston-Salem. His parents
now reside in Wilmington in
New Hanover County, but he
has not lived for any length of
time in Wilmington, and there
fore feels no affinity for the
place. Rob stated that he had
been at St, Andrews the re
quired length of time, and wish
ed to participate in Scotland
County politics. The Board
members, in their period of
questioning, asked again for
proof of Intent. They pointed
out that Rob Is eligible to vote
in New Hanover County, and be
cause he had declared him
self Independent, would not be
able to vote until the general
election next November; that
North Carolina books would be
open for registration from how
until April. In answer to the
Citing of previous specific cases
by students, Mr. Ellis, the
coimty attorney stated that the
board and the students held two
different interpretations, and
therefore the board would have
different interpretations of
specific cases; the state
statutes do not give guidelines,
and therefore a specific case
does not establish a precedent.
Then, Tom Elkins, an S. A,
student who was previously
granted the right to register
after a similar hearing in Sep
tember, roseto speak. He point
ed out that other people in the
community do not have their in
tent questioned; reiterated that
the residency requirement is
one year, and that these college
juniors wUl be here two years
at least. He also added that
Orange County is registering
students.
Mr. Ellis then Informed the
group that the Supreme Court
