  • Page 2 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Tuesday October 9, 1973 Editorial Comment f Voter Registration The Jackson County Board of Elections Office has been the scene of long lines and disappointed faces this past week as many WCU students have been denied the right to register in this county. For instance, a male student, a veteran, and his wife who holds a permanent job in the county were both turned away, because the husband was a student at WCU. With other married couples, the working husband is allowed to register while the student wife is considered ineligible. This type of discrimination is a grotesque injustice, first, for students to be denied eligibility because their parents do not live in Jackson County, and secondly, for women to be treated as dependents of their husbands. We don't know what the Jackson County Board of Elections fears. The small minority of students who consider Jackson County their domicile and the even smaller amount of these who would take the time to vote if they were allowed to register would probably not cause a great difference in the outcome of local elections. WCU students are affected by the laws of the county, however, and should be allowed to exercise our right to vote. . ■ The Potato Harvest The dragnet was thrown out over Cullowhee once again last week with the result that four WCU students and one faculty member were arrested on charges of possessing and selling marijuana. In addition, a number of cars were stopped and searched in the Cullowhee area on the night of the "Black Oak Arkansas" concert, bringing about the arrests of six non-students from Asheville. Even if the accused are found guilty, the SBI will have raked in only a few small potatoes. We wonder what the point was in expending eight months of public employees' working time and an undetermined amount of the taxpayers' money in this almost fruitless endeavor. With their limited resources, local law enforcement officials have no business "cracking down" on petty crimes in Cullowhee, particularly when these same violations occur more often and more flagrantly in Sylva and in that chemical capital of the Smokies, Waynesville. The sort of discriminatory enforcement we have seen here gives the public a warped picture of where crime is occurring and this case has served to give the University an undeserved bad name. We are not suggesting that the police should ignore their duty to enforce the law. But law enforcement must be done evenhandedly and with a sense of proportion. Hence, if, within a few weeks, it becomes apparent that no action is being taken against known trouble spots in Sylva, we will take the recent busts in Cullowhee as evidence of police malevolence toward people connected with WCU. And if such a police attitude does exist, voters connected with WCU and others interested in honest government should register their discontent at the polls.—JWB llrtEr Wf=5n=^y Oai^oLiMiaM Published twice weekly through the academic year and weekly during the summer by the students of Western Carolina University.

Mailing address, Box 66, Cullowhee, NC 28723. Subscription rates, $4.00 oer year. Dear Editor, This is to inform Messrs. Lewis & Greene (Feedback Oct. 2} that Bach and Beethoven were peacefully decomposing during Hitler's regime. Heni D. Cason P.S. Perish the thought of reviving the dear old masters on the football field. jcar Editor, My friends, scatter and do it without cuss For the great wrath of the coordinator comes down upon us From out of the cold north he came to work So sob all the residents who have felt the hurt Tough rules enforced with the old navy whip And if you fail it's a slap in the lip Walking stiff-chinned up the halls to counter lotter Pray you avoid paying 5 for a small squirt of water You tough, mean, creator of hate Is this military school discipline our final fate He says the treasury of the dorm is in desperate gloom So he charges 25c to those locked out of their room Oh you hard ass, can't you see the hate You have started over your Yankee mistakes Already you have between you and us a wide gap But please don't go as far as charging 10<? to take a crap We have reason to get upset and knock-it For is this money going into his pocket This university is scraping bottom I feel For with coordinators like this we should name it Mars Hill We play hardball in our lobby- on Friday with nothing else to do And the hard-chinned general comes down to press charges as we all knew. Stop, turn your hard-ass ways around before it's too late And you have to go back north to your inevitable fate. Name withheld by request for fear of facing the general's firing squad. Board Of Elections Alex Brock said, there is no simplistic answer. In refusing the 50 students who tried to register, the registars said that the students were not permanent residents of Jackson County, they had no intention to stay in Jackson County beyond graduation, and they were here only to get an education,: On the other hand, many students thought that the registrars' reasons were a bit presumptuous. Although Alex Brock could not comment on each specific denial that the local registrar had made, he said that the state policy of voter registration follows a Supreme Court ruling of last year that said that "students shall not be registered in counties in which they are tcmp- nrairlv residing." However, Brock did cite a court ruling in which two Chapel Hill students who were roommates took suit when they were not permitted to vote. The court ruled that one could vote and one could not. The crux of the matter comes down to the definition between "domicile" and "residence." According to Brock, if a student can prove his. residence in his domicile , he is legally- entitled to vote in that county. Buts a residence to him wasnotnecessairly thesameasa domicile. A domicile was seen as a permanent residence. Brock cited four major questions in proving that a students residence was his domicile: Did one leave his fathers' home for the temporary purpose of school, or for cutting loose from home ties? If one was to fail at the college or university or be forced to discontinue his education, would he return to his parents' home'.' ——Would one be living in the college town if school was not there? P'or what purposes other than education did one go to the college town? Brock emphasized that each individual question or all of them together would not be conclusive, but each would be a circumstance from which to draw the conclusion of a domiciliary. In effect, Brock was ruling out a possible . .... FROM Page 1 class action suit that some local students are hoping for. Brock said that both the state and federal supreme courts had issued decisions stating that each case would have to be viewed individually. However, the campus Political Science—law Association is hoping for a class action suit if the appeals fail to permit the students to vote. Steve Gheen, graduate student in history and president of the PS-LA, and Charlie Home, senior political science major, are coordinating the drive to register the students. They said that they had contacted several lawyers about taking the case if the appeal fails, but they are hoping that the American Civil Liberties Union will take the case. Ben Bridges, a Sylva attorney and an associate with the ACLU, said yesterday that the local chapter of the ACLUcouldnot take the case unless the state executive committee approves. Gheen emphaisized that the PS-LA was strictly- non-partisan on any issues that were coming up, such as the liquor by the drink referendum; He said that his group was interested only in seeing that local students who want to vote are allowed to register. He is working with the campus presidents of both the Young Democrats Club and the Young Republicans Club in the registration drive. "The people in Sylva are cautious about letting the students vote simply because there are so many of us over here, and we could be a swing factor," said Gheen. "I think their fears are unfounded. I think students will vote just like the other people of Jackson County. There won't be any block voting," he added. Student body president, Harold Rogers, is also backing the registration drive. He said that what goes on in Jackson C'ountv affects WCU students directly. He said, ' 'I still do all I can to see that the students get our complete support in their fight to gain the right to vote. He urged all students who have been unable to register to contact either him or Steve Gheen or Charlie Home if they needed help with their appeal.
