Higher Education Capital
Improvement Bond in the

13 of the 16 institutions of the

J buildings.
Four of those schools
receiving money include
Elizabeth City, Fayetteville
State, A&T State and
Winston-Salem State University.
The other nine will
receive money as needed.
Three other schools, the
N.C. School of Arts, East
Carolina University and North
Carolina Central University
will not receive money

they have already received
some.
According to William Eagles.
director of research at
Winston-Salem State, the
proposed new building will
substantially address the
University's need for academic
space. It will house the
Computer Center, making it
more accessible for instructional
purposes, the Educar

Also, it will house the
Enrich Center, which provides
supportive skills building
services and tutorial services
to students; the foreign
language and speech laboratories;
and a lecture room with
a seating capacity of 370
people and 12 smaller capacity
classrooms.
The $43.2 million bond
passed by a vote of 16,013 to
12,010 in the county.
Had the bond referendum
failed, it probably would have
been years before the
Legislature would have been
able to finance new buildings
for the smaller schools out of
the general fund.
It has been stated that there
would be no tax increase if the
bond referendum was passed.
A state spokesman said that
the-older bonds are just about
paid off and that the money
that formerly went to those
bond holders can 3e used
to pay off the higher education
bonds.

Voter - turnout throughout
the city was smaller than
expected during Tuesday's
presidential primary.
Especially the turnout at
North Elementary School.
.At the end of the^day; out of
a total of 788 persons whose
names appear on the books,
only 77 had voted. .
However, the registrar
stated that about 35 or 40
persons had been turned away
due to a mixup about their
voting places.
Some of the people were
either at the wrong voting
place or they had registered
and the Forsvth Countv Rnarri
of Elections had not bothered
to put their names on the
books.
One lady in particular had
been to four voting places.

somewhere down the line, the
Board of Elections had her
listed as being "dead.**
She dropped her head and
finally left.
Another lady who wanted to
vote at North stated that she
had been to the Government
Center to register and couldn't
see why her name had not
been sent to the school.
Try as they might, her name
_ could not be found anywhere
on their books.
While North was not the
only voting place that seemed
to be having difficulty in
finding persons names on the
books, they, however, did
have the highest percentage.
Thomas J. Keith, chairman
of the Forsyth County Board of
Elections stated that under no
condition was a registrar to let
a person leave a voting place
without first checking with the
elections board.

Keith also stated that
sometimes when people have
failed to register, they use the
excuse that the elections
board had failed to list their
names on the books.
"In any case, the registrar
is instructed to always try to
call our office first. If that
doesn't work, we try to get the
individual to come to the
office," he stated.
