Bentley Dislikes f/trA Student Senate Hosts
New Voters Bill Regional Meet April 23-24
By RONALD TAYLOR
“Our state is plagued with the possibility that the Voter’s
Rights Bill will pass Congress,” Jimmy Bentley, Georgia
comptroller general, said in his address to the Independent
Men Monday night.
“There is not a single county
in our state where a person
wishing to vote can’t do so,”
Bentley said. "In fact we have
several counties in which the
Negroes registered to vote out
number the whites registered.”
he added.
Bentley expressed the opin
ion that the Voters’ Rights Bill
would allow people completely
unqualified to vote.
"One provision in the new
hill is so stated that the only
qualification for voting
would Is- that a person be

informed," Bentley said.
When questioned concerning
our state's voting requirements,
Bentley said, “I think our stan

Load Zones 9
— Van Vleck
Students have been warned
not to park in the campus
loading zones by Marvin Van
Vleck, director of traffic and
security at the University.
“The two biggest prob
lems now are the unregis
tered cars on campus and
students who park In the
wrong zone," said Van Vleck.
Van Vleck explained that
these zones are used by the
service vehicles, and that keep
ing them clear is necessary.
“Cars parked in the loading
zone prevented an ambulance
from reaching a boy in Tucker
Hall. He had to be carried out
to East Campus Road in order
to be put in the ambulance,"
Van Vleck continued.
Van Vlock said that the
$3 fine has not been very
effective and reminded stu
dents that “cars are subject
to being towed away and
impounded. It will cost the
student $10 to have them
removed,” he added.
He said that some of the
current problems will be
cleared up when all the ve
hicles are registered.
