  • The^Xfestern Carolinian THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1978 Vol. XLIII, No. 19 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Raleigh meeting cooperative, favorable PVA meets NC officials State Board of Elections Secretary Alex Brock and Deputy Attorney General Jim Bullock met with five WCU students in Raleigh Friday. The five represented Promote Voter Awareness (PVA) and presented the results of a three-month SGA study on Jackson county voter registration policy to the state officials. As a result of the Friday meeting, the WCU students will appear before the State Board of Elections in Phillip Cates reports to Alex Brock and Jim Bullock Resolutions Bills start to come out of senate by EDDIE YANDLE Senate Reporter Several bills came before the senate Monday night including one instating a committee to study the Graham Infirmary and one which failed, calling for a more organized system of checking out books from the rental department. The committee to study Graham Infirmary was formed with several guidelines to follow in their investigation. The bill, sponsored by the Office of the President and former Sen. Al Lagano, was established to study the efficiency of the infirmary. President Patrick Murphy said of the bill, "We were wondering, myself and Al, if the infirmary met certain minimum standards set up by the North Carolina Student Legislature (NCSL)." According to President Murphy if the infirmary fails to meet some of these standards, the committee would "...make certain suggestions on how to improve it..." Another bill suggested a new system of checking out books from the rental department, providing each class with certain days to pick up their books. The bill, sponsored by former Sen. Al Lagano, was rejected by the senate because "it was written in a discriminatory manner," said Sen. Wanda Nelson. According to the bill, seniors would pick up their books the first day, juniors and seniors the second, sophomores and up the third, and on the fourth day, all students would be allowed to pick up their books. Sen. Tim Sikes said he was against the bill because, "freshmen wouldn't be able to get their books until about the third day." Two other bills passed through the senate Monday night that included merging the SGA Women's and Men's Affairs Committees into one because their goals coincided with each other. The other bill was one sponsored by Sen. Jeri Archer to allow easier access to gymnasium equipment except when a class is using the equipment. Sen. Archer said she spoke with a man who works at the cage who said he allows anyone to use the equipment who requests it. However, Sen. Archer felt the bill was still necessary because she had encountered a few problems in the past. A report by PVA Committee Chairman Phil Cates on the committee's progress was next on the agenda. Chairman Cates briefly went over what had occurred during their trip to Raleigh and said a much more comprehensive report would be given in two weeks. In his report. Chairman Cates praised the research sub-committee headed by Mark Wilkins. Vann Burgess and Vice-Chairman Mark Williams because their work "was what made this trip such a success." Raleigh along with representatives of the Jackson county board of elections. Ihe meeting will be held sometime in April, and attempts will be made lo reach an agreement on who can and who cannot vote in Jackson county. Patrick Murphy, Luther Hollingsworth, Gary Brown. Phillip Cates and David Jackson presented a three-hour presentation to Brock and Bullock which outlined problems experienced by WCU students in past attempts at voter registration. Examples of registration applications of WCU students were shown which indicate an apparent lack of consistency in the acceptance or rejection of potential voters, a major complaint of PVA. Another complaint presented to Brock and Bullock involved the attitude of the local board of election officials toward WCU students studying the problem and toother students in general. "We have continually maintained an atmosphere of courtesy and cooperation towards Jackson county officials, bin have been met with mistrust and suspicion." (ales said. "However." Cates continued, "in recent days, a more positive altitude has been demonstrated to us by certain influential patties in the county, favorable to what we plan. We look forward to their cooperation and success in this matter." Friday's meeting with Brock and Bullock was described by Murphy as "relaxed, with an air of cooperation and interest" on the part of the officials. Earlier, the group met with Executive Assistant Joe Pell, informing him of the situation to continue communication with Gov. Hunt, who had to cancel all appointments for the day. North Carolina Attorney General Rufus Edmisten and Chief Justice Susie Sharp also met briefly with the WCU students, both showing a keen interest in the situation. Chief Justice Sharp in 1972 presided over the Hall vs. Wake County case which serves as a basis for some of the legal aspects of both sides of the Jackson county situation. /^Inside today.
