When voters are deciding whether to approve or reject the amendment, they will only be able to read the first sentence of the amendment on the ballot.

Historians saw the names of artists as "signifiers of ethnic identity and geographic origins of the object's creator," Danielson said.

The Elon University women's tennis team recently had the opportunity to volunteer at Kopper Top Life Learning Center, an organization that specializes in therapy for disabled individuals. The nine girls on the team and their head coach, Elizabeth Anderson, spent three hours one Saturday feeding the horses Kopper Top uses for therapeutic and recreational horseback riding. The girls had expected to work with some of the children who receive therapy at Kopper Top, according to Anderson, but instead they worked to feed the animals with the expired produce Kopper Top gets from stores like Costco. "It's a great organization," Anderson said.
