Meredith Students
Help With Project
On Registration
To boost the percentage of quali
fied Negro registered voters in Wake
County, a project sponsored by the
Raleigh Citizens Committee has
been under way for some weeks, to
register these citizens.
College students in the Raleigh
area have been participating regu
larly in the project each Saturday
afternoon from 2:00 until 4:30.
Since about' 25 per cent of the
qualified Negroes in Wake County
are registered to vote as opposed to
65 per cent of white registered vot
ers, the project is an educational
program for the Negro.
Students travel in pairs to the
homes of non-registered Negroes to
talk to them about the responsibility
of citizenship and the individual’s
participation in democracy. Mobile
registrars accompany the students
making it possible for Negroes to
register in their own homes,
A stated goal of this project, which
will continue until April, enables the
students who participate to become
involved in democracy, to get a first
hand impression of the community
and social problems in the area, and
to meet and know students from va
rious other colleges.
Colleges which have sent repre
sentatives to help in this project are
Meredith, State, Shaw, Peace, and
