  • The^stern Carolinian THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1977 Vol. XLIII No. 15 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Ad Hoc Committee reports by EDDIE YANDLE Senate Reporter The Jackson County Board of Flections was found guilty of mistrust with WCU students, misinformation and ignorance of North Carolina voter registration policies, and possibly guilty of voter discrimination against WCU students by the Ad Hoc Committee of the SGA Monday night. These findings were put-forth to the student senate Monday night by Sen. Phil Cates, chairman of the committee. Sen. Cfttes read a seven page report to the senate that summarized what has taken place so far and possible avenues of action to change the voter registration policy at WCU. Three routes were followed by the committee at the outset according to Sen. Cates. including requesting County Attorney Crcrghton "/eke" Sossomon to come before the committee and "answer a few questions." An informal discussion was held according to the report between Mr. Sossomon, Cates, and Vice-Chairman of the committee Mark Williamson November 8. In the discussion Sen. Cates told Mr. Sossomon he knew of a form WCU students must fill our to determine their voting eligibility and asked, "...can we obtain a copy?" Mr. Sossomon refused, saying, "If students see the form, they'll know the right answers." A conlliet arose when Mr. Sossomon said it was possible to obtain the document by filling out another form requesting it. On the other hand. Chairman of the Jackson County Board of Elections Agnes Fisher said there was \w such form saying, "I'm not giving you Turn to Page 3, please. Although repairs were made to the Jackson County Airport a few weeks ago. these cracks have begun to appear next to the newly paved section of the runway. The cracks are not drainage ruts where water has rushed through but were formed by shifting soil. The ground has moved about two feet down the Savannah side of the runway in the last couple of weeks. Presently, a new terminal is being constructed across the runway from this site. DREW CLARK PHOTO Observer checks in to Jackson County politics The following article by Ken Allen appeared in Sunday's Charlotte Observer. Ken was in Cullowhee the night last week's Western Carolinian went to press and was able to follow up on the events which transpired after the Carolinian was already out for the week. The story was sent out by UPI and was featured by many NC newspapers including the Greensboro Daily News, Asheville Citizen, Raleigh News and Observer and the High Point Enterprise. Several radio stations picked it up, Pat Murphy appeared on WLOS-TV. and Phillip Cates was interviewed by WGHP in High Point. The best coverage perhaps came when the story was featured on the news portion of NBC's Today show Monday Morning. The telephone rang in Phillip Cate's Western Carolina University dorm room last Monday night. Cates. a 19-year-old freshman from High Point, picked up the phone and identified himself. "Then a man said. 'If you don't get your fat nose out of Jackson County politics, your --- is going to be dead." he recalled. Cates doesn't know who made the call, but he thinks he knows why it was made: he has tried to ease voter registration for the 6,500 students at this Jackson County university in Cullowhee. about 50 miles west of Asheville. He and others on his Student Government Association committee say county elections officials seemed to resist registering students and refused to tell what requirements students had to meet. The harder the students pushed, the more resistance they found. on officials, in turn, wanted to make sure the people eligible to vote on Jackson County issues had ties to the county. Thev were leery of allowing all b.500 students to register in a county that has only 12.450 Charlotte Observer's request'. Creighton Sossomon. registered voters. county elections board lawyer, talked with Alex Brock. That attitude frustrated the students. head of the state elections board. "What we've met so far is roadblocks and threats." Brock confirmed that Jackson County must open all (atessaid. its election records and requirements to the public. At least one roadblock was removed Friday. At The Tnrn ,„ ,»ast. ,„_ pk.ast. Exam Schedule exAMTlMfc M0MPA*V TUE6WW VlfcPMftPAfV Tuoes&w FR«?A£/ 8'.
