Age 18
DURHAM-Chapel Hill Mayor
5“ ward Lee told apolitical sci
ence class at North Carolina
Central University Wednesday
that “18-year-olds are going to
have the vote in the state of
North Carolina.
The black mayor, who is vice
chairman of the Democratic
Party in North Carolina, told
members of Joseph Aicher’s
class in municipal government
that the 18-year-old voters
would participate “in every e
lection, not just the national e
lections.”
He said he could see no rea
son why the 18-year-olds should
not also hold office.
Lee implied that the drive
to give full political power to
voters above draft age would
reac k full force in the 1972
state Democratic convention.
His remarks come after he de
scribed how a coalition of the
supporters of Reginald Hawkins
for Governor and Eugene Mc-
Carthy for President was beaten
back ir. 1968’s convention but re
turned in 1970 “with more or
ganization and more en
thusiasm*’ to gain significant
power in the state organization.
The young mayor, who as yet
has no opposi t ion in May's
municipal elections in Chapel
Hill, urged the students to gen
erate enthusiasm for political
activity, but warned them to a

to the drive for elected posi

is purely by elective meas

Memphis, Tennessee and was
the culmination of over four
years of hard work and a dream
that began many years ago at
the National Business League.
Speaking at the festivities

Memphis Shopping Plaza,
“Tangible proof of what a sin

“The need for inner - city
residents to become involved
in the economic development of
their communities has become
vital to the *otal development of
the minority community” said
Burrell. He exhorted the com
munity to continue to invest in
themselves. “Metro Memphis
Shopping Plaza had addressed
itself to this problem through
the creation of 200 new jobs
and providing new goods and
services to the community,”
added Burrell.
