Voter Registration Drive
EDITORS NOTE: The fal
lowing article was written
by a student participating
in a voter registration drive
conducted in Charlottesville,
Va.
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

lottesvllle, plus three high
scnooi students from Char
lottsville.
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

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.

projects were not "a lot of
wild ideas" as someone had
suggested early in the debate.
He said he had discussed
them with professors and
found them to be important
projects that need to be put

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.
Besides the two presidential
candidates, the three vice

To All University Seniors:
In oppreciation of our fine association with the University and student
body, we are designating the period of April 26 through June 10 as "Senior
Days."
During "Senior Days," you can drive out a new or used automobile and
make no payments until after graduation in June.
In our New Car Department, you have a choice of 39 different models to
choose from, with hundreds of variations to "custom build" your new car.
Our Used Car Department of which we are very proud, has many fine se
lections in good late model cars, and they are always willing to find that
car "especially for you."
We also have a complete finance and insurance department with finance .
rates lower than most banks, and an association with several of the larger
auto insurance companies to mee your every need.
Hope to see you during "SENIOR DAYS!"
