Dr. Patterson said the “peti-
tions” which Cloninger spoke of
at the City Board meeting were
not actually petitions “but just
some pieces of paper with names
on them. We don’t know if they
were registered voters or not and
if they even lived in Kings
Mountain.”
Dr. Patterson said State Law
‘ requires that petition forms be
provided by the Board of Elec-
tions. The petitions, he said,
must contain the signatures, ad-
dresses and precincts of each
voter. He said the Elections
Board must verify that the
voters were registered within 72
hours after the petition was in-
itiated and that the petitions
must be returned to the Elec-
tions Board within 90 days or
they are ruled void. After their
return, the Elections Board must
determine the efficiency of the
petitions within 30 days and -
then set the date, which must be
no sooner than 60 days nor more
than 120 days after they are
received.

“The Board of Elections was
verifying the election on the
decision of the city board, except
for Norman King, and the
citizenry need to know that,” Dr.
Patterson said. “The commis-
sioners, except for Norman
King, have to shoulder the
burden.”
Dr. Patterson said he will not
serve as chairman of the dry
committee because he does not
live inside the city limits. “But,
many of my members live inside
the city and my children are
growing up here,” he said. “It’s
my town and I'll fight this.
“Those wanting the referen-
dum got what they wanted,” he
added. “A referendum by the ci-

The petitions signed were not in
accordance with the Alcoholic
Beverage Control laws. In their
heart I believe the commis-
sioners felt like they were voting
to send the petitions on to the

KM Students Chosen
For Choral Clinic
MARS HILL—Two hundred
and sixty-four of the state’s
finest high school singers will
gather February 4 and 5 for
. Mars Hill College’s 35th ‘annual
choral clinic. Established in 1949
by the late Elwood Roberts to
improve choral music in
Western North Carolina, the
clinic rapidly expanded to in-
clude all state high schools.
Directed by a guest conductor,
who this year is Dr. Albert
McNeil of the University of
California, each participant is
chosen through auditions con-
ducted by the college’s music
faculty during the fall. Over 700
auditioned for this year’s clinic.
The state is then divided into
zones and the participants
within each zone have several
rehearsals before arriving at the
college. This familiarizes them
with the music they will be per-
forming and frees the conductor
to work with the subtleties of the
music.
Dr. McNeil seems to have
more demands on his time than
is humanly possible to meet. He
is chairman of the Department
of Music Education at the
University of California at
Davis; where in addition to his
classes, he directs a 150-voice
concert choir. One day a week,
he commutes to Los Angeles to
teach ethnomusicology at the
University of Southern Califor-

nia. Over the weekends, he con-
tinues his 20-year position as the
choral director of the Congrega-
tional Church of Christian
Fellowship.
He is also director of the
Chorale, a
30-member group that performs
Mozart, Beethoven, and Hayden
with the Sacramento Symphony.
In addition to all of these ac-
tivities, Dr. McNeil has earned
an international reputation as
director of the Jubilee Singers,
which have been performing
locally since the late 1940’s and
internationally since 1968. Critic
Leonard Feather called the
Jubilee Singers one of America’s
greatest cultural assets and
stated that no other group has
brought more prestige and
dedication to the upholding of
black choral tradition. .
The music the high school
singers will be working with at
Mars Hill includes early classics
such as Mozart’s “Regina Coeli,”
and Victoria’s “Curia;” contem-
porary composers such as
Howard Hanson and Jerome
Jerry Williams of Morganton, a
Mars Hill alumnus; and modern
arrangements of spirituals in-
cluding “Poor Man Lazarus,”
“The Lily of the Valley,” and
“Talk About a Child.”
Mars Hill’s choir will serve as
host for the high schoolers and
will perform in a concert Friday
evening at 8:15 p.m. Their con-
cert will include works of widely
divergent styles ranging from the
Baroque texture of the Bux-
tehude “Magnificat” to the close
harmony of Norman Luboff’s ar-
rangement of the spiritual “All
My Trials.”
The culmination of the
weekend's work will be a concert
by the high school singers on
Saturday evening, Feb. 5, at 5
p.m. in Moore Auditorium. Both
this concert and the performance
by the college’s choir are open to
the public and are admission
free. :
Among those chosen to par-
ticipate in the Mars Hill choral
clinic are the following students
from Kings Mountain High
School: Laura Wright, Angela
Lyon, Clayton Ollis, and Angel
Allen. :

“This was a very disgusting
act on the part of the individuals
who committed the crime,”
Mayor Moss said. “Every effort
will be put forth to catch them.”
Moss said clean-up is already
underway and the city is in the
process of notifying families of
the “gravesites which were
