by Yatefc Association v. in refusal of church Rejection of the Binkley Bap tist Church in Chapel Hill for membership in the Yates Baptist Association on Tuesday had no racial overtones, according to the church minister, the Rev. Rob art Seymour; The 150-member church, started two years ago with Association aid, has been under its watch care for successive erne-year pe riods. A 12-member study com mission recommended that the Binkley Church not be accepted because it did not require that all members be baptized by immer sion. The recommendation, made at the Association meeting in Durham, was accepted by a vote, of 133-7. AppHes to other denominations The Rev. Mr. Seymour declared yesterday “We do ask that all persons seeking members be bap tized. But we don’t insist that those who transfer from other denominations be baptized by im mersion.” He declared that the church ___*__ Membership “was not distress ed” by the Association action. “This was a witness we wanted to make. We knew we might have to suffer some conse quences.” As to the Yates Association's part in starting the Church, the minister noted that the proposed building site on the bypass high way was purchased for $7,000 with Association aid, but that the State Baptist Convention and the local church had paid a signifi cant share of its cost. Has Negro member r While the Binkley Church has had one Negro member and sev real other Negroes who worship with the congregation occasional ly. The Rev. Mr. Seymour said that this fact was not mentioned at the Association meeting in Durham and that he did not be lieve it figured in the Church’s rejection. ; Kids Halloween party The..lOth annual children’s party wllf b© Staffed -u ■■ ;■■■ . .■ .

A number of University students said this week that they would appeal their voter registration rejections to the Board of Elections. \ ,, However, each of those contacted sa*id they wou make another attempt to register before the voting hooks j are closed this Saturday. If they re ‘ turned down, they said, they’ll take their cases to the Board of Elections at a special meeting tentatively set for next- Tuesday in Hillsboro. _ Here only ‘temporarily’ Crux of the rejections is that the Board of Elections considers that students are here for only a “temporary" purpose, and thus cannot m^t the residence re quirements. ** The rejected registrants say they plan to appeal because their Chapel Hill home was their only home, they planned to be here several years, and could nr.t qualify for residence any where else. Prof. Clyde Carter, Secretary of j the Board of Elections, said that registrars had been directed to accept any potential voters who could satisfy them that they were yjot here temporarily. “We like to'see them in politics and we’ll be happy to help them vote in their home precinct and help tpom get absentee ballots, too, if necessary,” he declared^ Different interpretations Some of the confusion is result ing from the varying interpreta tions that different precinct reg istrars put on their directions from the Board of Elections. The result has been that stu dents in similar circumstances who are accepted for registra tion in one precinct have been turned drwn in another: Here, as related by four who were rejected and state they will appeal to the Elections (1) Dental student and wife who is public school teacher, living in apartment, each of whom turned 21 this year, declare they have no ether home anywhere, may stay in Chapel Hill permanently, but will be here at least three years.
