'WW WTO J i i i 3 4 ' 4. J. fj J V ? Vol. 80, No. 145 111 y erae by Pam Phillips Staff Writer The Orange County Board of Elections has refused to allow an on-campus registrar to register students for the May 6 primary, announced Richard Epps. student body president, Wednesday. Epps had appeared before the board at its Tuesday night meeting to appeal its previous decision which denied a registrar to the campus. According to Epps, the main objection to the on-campus registrar was voiced by Marshall Cates, chairman of the board. Traffic committee .Fees by Cathey Brackett Staff Writer A student member of the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Traffic and Safety charged Wednesday that certain expenditures of the campus Motor Vehicle Operations Trust Fund were in direct violation of N.C. law. Following debate on the fund, the committee moved at its meeting Wednesday that Chancellor Ferebee Taylor inform the committee on its area of responsibility and authority over the fund. Kobeft Wilson,astudent member of the committee, noted that the law requires that fees from student motor vehicle registrations "shall be used to torn ca by Ann Berman Staff Writer Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor has authorized that SI from the profits of the Student Stores this year for each cap and gown ordered by a member of the Class of '72 will be used for the support of the Molly Ellen Nicholson Scholarship. Lee Hood Capps, senior class president, was "very pleased that Chancellor Taylor authorized 20 percent of the rental cost for the undergraduate caps and gowns into the Molly Ellen Nicholson Scholarship in the name of the Class of 1972." The initial activity of the senior class to earn money for the scholarship was the mum sale at Homecoming last fall. This project, however, resulted in a $2,000 deficit. The class then solicited funds from honoraries and organizations on Fund to mr- lc-- 'W'rr-'.

Cates. however, told Lpps he had no proof for his suspicions. Last week, Lpps went before the elections board to ask for an on-campus registrar: at that time, he was refused. He called Cates to ask to appeal the decision. Cates told him the meeting on Tuesday was for the discussion of absentee ballots exclusively. Cates also informed Epps that an appeal was impossible because Epps had iisa ge develop, maintain and supervise parking areas and facilities and traffic control." The specific expenditures Wilson questioned included the purchase of two cars, payment for campus police over-time duty, repairs and installation of radio and antenna and consulting services fees. Wilson's motion that the committee look into the readjustment of the Motor Vehicle Operations Trust Fund in order that fees meet the regulations of the N.C. law regulating them failed to pass. In proposing the motion, Wilson said he, as a student, resented paying a motor vehicle registration fee that was used for purposes other thanjjipje required by the law. Opponents of the motion argued that the Traffic and Safety Committee, as an enefi own sa campus. King Residence College donated S350, and former Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson, SI 00. Last February, the class, in cooperation with the Order of the Grail, sponsored the Roller Derby. This project earned $600 for the scholarship. Capps said this would be the last major drive for funds for the scholarship this year. He emphasized that "all the money alloted for the scholarship from the caps and gowns will go directly to the. scholarship and not to liquidate the debt that remains." Members of the Class of 1972 who arc not going to buy caps and gowns, but wish to donate to the scholarship may mail their donations to Charlie Dean, chairman of the scholarship committee, at the Student Union. The cut-off date for ordering caps and gowns is April 15. P le Chapei Hiil, North Carolina, O . not requested one in a letter five das before the convening of the board. To confirm what Cates had told him. Epps called Alex Brock, state elections board executive secretary. Brock told Epps the Orange County board was not complying with the state regulations on two counts. The two inconsistencies of the Orange County Board of Elections were 1 ) the meeting was not held at the designated time of 10 a.m. Tuesday as agreed by the state board, and 2) the only time a written request must arrive at the elections board five days before its (jroestioneci advisory body to the Chancellor, does not have the authority to undertake such a readjustment on the proposed 1972-73 budget for the fund. Allen S. Waters, chairman of the committee, in presenting the new budget, had earlier stated that the fund's predicted income of $90,000 would not allow for any significant improvement in the present parking system and if major improvements were to be implemented. additional financing would have to come from an increase in student motor vehicle registration fees. Ben Loeb, faculty member of the committee, criticized the committee's r failure to come up with a specific plan toi loTve the parking problem. Loeb's criticism precipitated debate over the nature of the duties of the committee in administering the Motor Vehicle Operations Fund and in proposing parking plans. The result was the motion requesting the chancellor to inform the committee, in writing, of its responsibility in those areas. Lee Corum, student member of the Advisory Committee on Transportation, discussed a shuttle-bus system solution to the parking problem which is to be implemented on the University of Virginia campus. The plan, similar to the one Corum had proposed earlier for the UNC campus, calls for five buses to provide transportation to and from fringe parking areas with permits available at a flat fee. In addition to the fringe parking area, the Virginia plan calls for special restricted parking spaces and lots, with permits available for higher fees.

At the Tuesday night meeting. Lpps said he again asked for a registrar. Two of the three elections board members were in attendance, said Lpps. After he spoke. Epps said the two discussed his pica at length and then both voted no. According to Lpps. Cates feels that not only will students be perjuring themselves by registering to vote in Orange Countv. but also the results of the election will be unfair to bona fide Orange County residents. "Since Mr. Cates is going on the assumption that a vast number of students are perjuring themselves by registering in Orange Countv. and since the Orange County Board o Elections is not willing to go the last mile in placing a registrar on campus. I am urging as many students as possible who are legal residents of Orange Countv to register to vote." Lpps said. "It is obvious students aren't being trusted by their word by the Orange County Board of Elections." he said. Today is the last day students can register to vote in the May 6 primary. To register in Chapel Hill, students must show up at the Chapel Hill Municipal Building on North Columbia Street out Airport Road. Jury dismissed .Berrisaii Nun HARRLSE5URG. PLNN.
