By Marvin McNetf Wanted: 527 voters who would agree to pay $4.99 for the privilege of voting in the state and local elections of Virginia. During the recent spring va cation, nine students and their advisor from the University were confronted with the job of finding and persuading 527 citizens of Charlottesville, Va., to pay the Virginia capi tation tax (state poll tax) and vote in the Virginia elections upcoming in July and Novem ber. All the 527 had voted in the Federal elections of 1964, and one purpose of the voter regis tration and education drive was to convince the 527 that they should pay the capita tion tax and vote in the state elections, as the direct way to improve their own condi tions. The University group in cluded Bob Bogott, Mrs. Jan Funk, Tony Bryan, Peggy Trumble, Collins Foxall, Gale Muller, Sharon Mundell, Jo Ellen Williams, Marvin Mc Neff and Betty Gabehart from the University YWCA. Besides contacting around 1200 Federal only or non-registered voters during . t h e j week, several members of the group said they thought the other major achievement was the arousal of concern and that hopefully such aroused concern would continue to be influential upon their return to the campus. Conducted in conjunction with the Charlottesville chap ter of the NAACP, the voter registration and education drive also had participating students or faculty members from New Rochelle College, in New York state, University of Illinois, St. Augustine's College Classified Ads WANTED TEACHERS WANTED. $5400. up.

At an end-ofweek critique ior me i member group, lo cal leaders for the drive listed two other tangible accom- pusnments which they felt the drive had achieved beyond the actual registration. They noted that th rrn,n - , . L o---r naa woreea as Negro-white teams door-to-door snrl item. onstrated to the entire Char lottesville community (many oi wnom naa not seen mixed groups in Charlottesville be fore) that the two groups coma wont constructively to geuier. The group had also en couraged members of the lo cal Negro community to m tinue their voter registration enorts and reassure the Ne gro community at large that others , were concerned with the problems of civil rights ana aiscrimmation. A prominent far vf Hf l Virginia which is lacking in iNenrasica is the historical or ientation of the oeoole. The people generally seem to have an unhealthy reverence for the "Golden Age" of Ante-Ballum 19th century Virginia and the traditions of Mr. Jefferson, whose home, Monticello, is lo cated just outside Charlottesville. Further indications of t h e "historical blinders" of the Virginians may be noted aft er a visit to Farmville. coun ty seat of Prince Edward County, which the Nebraska group visited mid-way during the week. As the Rev. L. Francis Grif fin, one of the local leaders for equal rights pointed out, people in the aristocratic south side of Virginia have never really believed in pub lic education dating back to pre-Revolutionary war times. Thus integration attempts in the early 1950's provided a legitimate excuse to close the public schools of Prince Ed ward County and they re mained closed until 1964, be cause the county board of su pervisors refused to levy taxes to support them. During the four year period schools were closed, "private" schools were set up for white children, and the state of Vir ginia provided tuition grants to white parents so the chil dren could be enrolled. The private schools are still oper ating. No public schools meant that many Negroes, who did not have relatives in other areas or the money to go away to school, had no educa tion at all. Tests conducted recently by a University of Michigan pro fessor for the U.S. Denart- ment of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) showed J that the IQ's of some students had been damaged from one to SO points, as a result of having no school. Three of the students tested had IQ's in excess of 150. Since children who have missed four years of public sohool need an immediate to tal remedial program, the American Friends Service Committee and other agencies will operate such a program in ranee Edward County this summer. An example of the problems which the program will at tempt to help correct are eighth and ninth graders, with average ages of 17 and 18, who are able to read only at the third grade level. The principal of one of the schools of the county e s t i -mated that seventyjfive per cent of such students will drop out of sohool, since the Vir g i n i a complusory educa tion law was repealed in 1959 to allow the counties to quit supporting public education. University of Nebraska stu dents who would like to work in the summer remedial pro gram, which will concentrate on improving reading skills, are urged to apply. A technique developed by Dr. Myron Woolman, of the Institute of Educational Re search in Washington, D.C. will be used. One teacher will spend six hours a day with no more than ten students for five days a week. University students should apply to Mrs. Pat K n i g h t , Virginia Council of Human Relations, 17 East Coory Street, Richmond, Va. The YWCA office at the Nebraska Union will also have informa tion. All living expenses during the summer project will be covered by the local sponsor ing organization. Lutheran Convention Honors Rev. Petersen Rev. Alvin Petersen of the University Lutheran Student Foundation, has received the annual award of the Central District of the American Lu theran Church for "having done the most for Christian higher education within the Central District during the year. Rev. Petersen has served at the University since 1946 and was cited for being one of the pioneers of the Lutheran cam pus ministry councils. Mrs. Petersen was also cited for her activities including alumni contact and discussion groups. The award .presented before some 400 Lutherans attending the fifth annual convention here, preceded a report by four University students and the Rev. Mr. Petersen about the work and activity in high er education by the church during the past year.

He said he had discussed them with professors and found them to be important projects that need to be put Into operation. Poppert ended by saying that Neumeister had brought ideas merely for ideas and that he made no mention of the by laws or other things that will be important in first making the new government work.
