  • Pa9e2 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN rUSIBENTIAL 4ANM.MTE* When students least expect it, it seems they are faced with making decisions which may affect their remaining terms in WCU. Students will vote Thursday for the candidates representing them as next year's SGA President and Vice-president. As a newspaper, The Carolinian is responsible for letting the students know the candidates and their platforms. Following are summaries of each candidate for each office. Jim Dills for SGA President statement of a president's responsibilities." Dills said that campaign promises insult the intelligence of the student. Issues like incorporation of Cullowhee and repairing of roads are "well beyond the scope of power of the SGA president," he said. Dills said he hopes to act as president "not as some nervous politician who offers everything and delivers nothing." Dave Lubinger for SGA President Next year is a year of decision for the students of this institution. It will be a year that requires experienced, active leadership moving in a determined direction. Within the next week the voters will be barraged with * issues. Lubinger wants to open SGA to all students. This, he feels, will enable students to see how and why things are the way they are. "I feel that WCU has a lot to offer and the only way we can get things rolling is for the students and their voice (SGA) to get together and make facts and ideas known to each other." Lubinger proposes a student committee to protect student rights in the event of unfair faculty decisions. He also feels that freshman should not be forced to park at Whitmire Stadium. Cafeteria problems, visitation and a lack of concerts are also minor issues with which he hopes to contend. Steve Sherman for SGA President Noting the difficulty of the president's job, Sherman stresses the need for an experienced candidate. However, just as many of today's issues were unknown in last year's election, many new problems and issues will arise, problems not now foreseen and discussed. "It is necessary then that next year's Student Government Pres- Registration examined Dills has served in SGA for the past 2 years in every branch: in the judicial branch as Attorney General, in legislative brach as a Senator and in the executive branch as President Assistant. Dills, however, does not view experience as the most important basis for selection of a candidate, "rather it is the candidates' concern for the problems of the student body for which he is president. "To propose vague campaign issues quite clearly is an over- From p. 1 Other Counties Students elsewhere are not subjected to the hassle they are in Jackson County. Bill Culp, executive secretary of the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections, said UNC- Charlotte students who want to register to vote are treated "just like everyone else." He said all the student has to do is to claim he is a resident of Mecklenburg County and present a valid NC drivers license. The drivers license by law must contain a person's current legal address. Dormitories cannot be used for that purpose. He said if he wanted to check up on someone's claim of residency, there are several ways, including tax records. But, according to Culp, each county has i§jl!JiD^^ CULLOWHEE TRADING POST AND RADIO SHACK | OPEN: 7 DAYS 293-J758 I black PowJcr Guns i Supplies Largcsi Selection of Fishing Tackle in Jackson County \Fishinq Tack/e T I Guns-Ammo J /or lradeN j Stereos C'bQws Livedait | 0 Track Tapes (original artist) 500 in Jed* 199 TV Antennas t Accessories the right to register voters in its own way. Ensley Ensley talked freely about student registration. Despite his statements to the contrary, he said, "We don't exactly have no set policy (toward student registration.)" He indicated his desire for students to vote elsewhere stems from the feeling that after they finish going to school, they will move back home or elsewhere to find a job. "I would prefer students to vote where their parents live," Ensley asserted. "If they get support (financial) from their parents," he claimed, "you know they don't intend to stay here." Ensley indicated that the court's decision to allow the Harrises to vote had not changed his opinion toward student registration nor had it changed the number of denials or approvals. But Pat Harris said he had conducted an informal survey and his results seem to indicate that after the date he filed suit, board members began granting more people the right to vote. Another informal survey by the Western Carolinian tends to agree with Harris. Several members of the university community who have had to answer to Ensley's examinations in the appeal session say he is extremely prejudiced. "Ensley is really biased," Janet Beaudry, a WCU student said. Ms. Beaudry's bid to register was initially turned down but she was finally allowed to vote by a 2-1 decision of the board. (Ensley was the dissenting vote). "Fortunately there are other people on the board with less extreme views,'' she said. Another student who applied for registration and who was turned down, agreed that Ensley is more prejudiced against students than other board members. One student who went through the process was disgusted with the lack of respect he was afforded. The student, who wished to remain unnamed, quoted one board member as saying "Well, we might as well get it over with now," when referring to a meeting of the board to hear appeals. The student, whom the board decided to allow to vote, said the whole process is typical of the dehumanization which bureaucracy perpetrates. Change?

Sherman worked one year in residence hall government, one year in the student senate and is presently SGA Vice-president. WaltTeague for SGA President Teague's experience in student organizations at WCU is extensive. He has served as President of UCB, student senator, as Chairman of Senate RU|es Committee and President pro Temp, has served on the Chancellor's Student Advisory Committee and has served on several other university committees. Teague "sponsored or in some way worked on 75 percent of all legislation in the Student Senate this year," through his service on several senate committees. Teague feels that by reduction of SGA's retained appropriation, more money could be used for clubs and organizations. Other issues include work towards expansion of intramural facilities, uniform pricing of cafeteria meals and allowance of students on academic probation to early register. Outing Activities There is no rival of springtime in the Appalachian Mountains and the WCU Outing Club has a slate of outdoor activities planned which would make even the most avid armchair enthusiast look toward the mountains. This weekend a two-day backpacking trip is planned to Standing Indian, in the rugged Nantahala Mountains. Anyone interested in going should be at Wednesday's meeting at 6:30 p.m. in Reid22. A trip to the Outer Banks is planned for the Easter holidays. April 24-25 is canoeing weekend with a two-day canoe trip on Sections Two and Three of the Chatooga River planned and canoe races at the Nantahala Outdoor Center. A two-day backpacking trip to Mt. Mitchell is planned for May Day weekend. For May 8, club members will help with the C-2 Championships to be held on the Tuckaseegee River. May 9 features a day hike to the beautiful Horsepasture River. A day hike on May 15 or 16 to Buff Creeek is planned and the weekend of May 22-23 features a bike trip to Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains and a day hike. A canoe trip on the Little Tennessee River is planned for May 29-30.
