"April 4, 1963
Commissioner's Court
County Court House
Bryan, Texas
Dear sirs,
During the March meeting of the Bryan-College Station branch of
the American Association of University Women, the following motion
was made, seconded and unanimously passed "Based on a belief in the
principle of the secret ballot and private polling, I move that A. A.
U W activmly support the campaign to secure voting booths for the
Bryan-College Station community "
It is with a feeling of urgency that we endorse this action.
Realizing that individual rights are not necessarily violated under
the existing voting conditions, we feel however that the individual's
freedom of choice would be maximized by providing private voting booths.
We respectfully submit this recommendation in behalf of the Bryan-ColLege
Station branch of the American Associatioh.of-University Women
Sincerely,
/a/ Mrs Joan Kyre
Mrs Martin Kyre
Legislative Chairman
/s/ Peggy K Shafer
Mrs Carl Shafer
Status-pf-Women Chairman."
The Court explained to the ladies present that plywood booths are being
prepared for use in the different voting precincts to insure privacy in marking the
ballots, and that same will be in use prior to the Primary Election to be held in 1964.
- . Motion adopted to approve all reports and to pay all bills which have been
properly filed and approved.
WHEREUPON, the meeting adjourned
