  • Friday, April 3, 1964 Page 8 News Briefs Lacy Thornburg To Speak To Young Democrats Wednesday Lacy Thornburg, incumbent candidate for the representative of Jackson County to the North Carolina General Assembly, will speak to a meeting of the WCC Young Democrats Club next Wednesday, April 8, at 3 p.m. in the Gallery of Hunter Library. Representative Thornburg played an important role in the 1963 session of the General Assembly, serving on the powerful Joint Appropriations Committee and as chairman of the Committee on Elections and Election Laws. His appearance is another in the the series sponsored by the YDC in bringing Democratic candidates for state or local office to the campus. Faculty and students are encouraged to attend this lecture. Methodists Sponsor Retreat Twenty-one members of the Wesley Foundation and sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Ferguson spent the weekend of March 20 at Hinton Rural Life Center in Hayesville. The purpose of the conference was to plan the Wesley Foundation programs for the school year 1964-65. Among the plans for next year are a mountaineer theme for Open House and a fall retreat for the purpose of studying and revising the constitution. As a future public service project, it was decided that a copy of Motive, the Methodist student magazine, will be placed in Hunter Library, Graham Infirmary, the Student Union, and Sossomon Library in Joyner Building. The programs for next fall quarter include an Open House on September 13; a lecture by Dr. Daniels on September 20 at the Wesley Foundation meeting; a program on "The Purpose of Wesley Foundation" on September 27; a pledge service on October 4; and a film, "The History of Cullowhee," to be shown by Mr. Harrison Reed on Homecoming weekend, October 11. Officers for the coming year were elected at the retreat. They include President, Larry Hendricks; Vice-President, Lou Ann Wilson; Recording Secretary, Sharon Henry; Corresponding Secretary, Bootsie Garrison; and Treasurer, Carol McKee. Voting Rule Is Clarified Drama Festival Here Tomorrow On Saturday, April 4, a drama festival will be held involving many of the high schools and colleges in the Western North Carolina area. This festival, to be held in the Little Theatre at Cullowhee, will feature throughout the day one-act presentations, with the winning groups in this competition going to Chapel Hill for the Carolina Dramatic Association's State Festival. Judges for the festival will be Richard Snavely, the Director of the Exhibition Room at Pack Memorial Library in Asheville, who holds BA and MA degrees in Dramatic Arts at the University of North Carolina, and Genty O. Crisp of the English Department here at WCC. The public is invited to attend this festival. The first play begins at 10:00 a.m. Wesley Group Hears Thomas Dr. Robert F. Thomas of Pitt- man Community Center in Se- vierville, Tenn., will be guest speaker at Wesley Foundation Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock. Topic of his lecture is his missionary experience during the past 38 years, both in this country and abroad. Some of his work, including that of his three-year mission service in Malaya, is presented in the book So Sure of Life by Violet Wood. Guests of the Student Affiliate members of Cullowhee Methodist Church at a social hour following Dr. Thomas' lecture will include their "parents away from home." The program is open to all interested students and faculty members. The privilege of every American citizen, the right to vote, may soon be undertaken by the eligible citizens of North Carolina. On May 30, the date of the state gubernatorial primaries and on November 6, the general election, each eligible person may vote for the candidate of his choice. With so many people reaching the age of 21, as well as meeting residence requirements, so few of whom actually know the letter of the voting laws, a clarification of North Carolina voting requirements is in order. Very few voters realize that anyone becoming eligible on or before the election date is also eligible to vote in the earlier primary election, provided they have fulfilled the other requirements, according to North Carolina law. One of the first requirements other than legal age is registration. The potential voter must first declare and record on the registration that he is affiliated with the party in whose primary he proposes to vote and that he is a member in good faith of that party. The regular registration books are kept open for the primary election just as they are for the general election. The residence requirements for a North Carolina voter are as follows: the person must have lived in the state and in the precinct, ward, or other election district in which he intends to vote for one year. This prerequisite fulfilled, the party becomes a qualified elector four months preceding the election. Moving from one precinct to another in the same county does not disqualify one from voting in the precinct from which he moved until four months after the change in residence. These qualifications are noted in The General Statues of North Carolina. There are probably many students and faculty members to whom these laws apply and to whom a clarification of the laws is welcome. They have been misinterpreted and unnoticed in the past and have long since needed understanding.

Culp, Jr., is a rising Junior from Sylva, N. C. He was born in Kannapolis, N. C, is 20 years old, a graduate of Lee H. Edwards High School in Asheville, and a transfer student fgom Gneensboro College. At Greensboro College he served as Treasurer of the Freshman Class, President of Men's Dormitory, and a member of the Men's Judicial Council. Here at WCC Culp has served as Program Director of WWOO, a member of the Wesley Foundation and YDC, and is active in campus Hootenannies. In reference to the elections Culp said, "The overwhelming reason I decided to seek the office of Vice-President is because I feel the students of Western Caro lina College are tired of a do- nothing Student Government. I know that the students of WCC want and deserve an active Student Government. I ask, and certainly need, the support of every student to make this a reality." Steve George is a rising Senior from Hendersonville, N. C. A transfer student from Wake Forest, George was a member of the French Club. As a student at WCC he has served as alternate Junior Senator, past Vice-President of Theta Xi Fraternity, a member of the Greek Council and SAM. He has also served as student representative to the Library Board, dormitory counselor in 1963, and works as a student assistant in the Library. His majors are Math and Business Administration. Concerning the elections George said, "Stated in the Student Handbook on page 53 are the duties of the Vice-President. They include the following: (1) he assumes the office of President in the absence of the President, (2) he presides over all Senate meetings, and (3) he is chairman of the Standards Committee. These are not all the jobs of the Vice-President, but these are the major ones, and as Vice-President these would be the prime responsibilities of anyone elected to the office. Being a student at WCC for almost three years, I feel that I am close to the student body and will strive to work for their best possible interest." Other dates for elections for campus offices will be announced by Conway Jolly, President of the Student Body, at a later date.
