  • PAGE 6/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/APRIL 13, 1978 Wants to change world NCSL always takes a stand The North Carolina Student Legislature, a group with a reputation of wanting to change the world, returned to Old Capitol Building on April 5 after a banishment ot I 7 years. The group was "kicked out" of the Capitol and banned from other state buildings in 1961 because it chose to discuss and debate controversial topics that startled then state officials. "They debated some wild subjects—subjects that (lew right in the face of the sentiment of that time," Secretary of State Thad Eure recalled last Wednesday as the 41st session of the student legislature opened. "It was primarily race issues, such as intermarriage between whites and blacks," he said. Many of today's state leaders—among them Governor James Hunt—were active in that student group of the early 60's. Tom Gilmore, a former state representative and now in the state department of Human Resources, was a member of the student legislature that was kicked out.

WEDDING BIRTHDAY CAKES 82 East Main St. Call ahead for decorated cakes Uilmore recalls that they debated whether to integrate schools, to establish a 75-cents-per-hour minimum wage, to allow 18-year-olds to vote, and to allow the governor a second term and veto power. 1 Kept for veto power, the other matters have been made law. Founded in 1937, the student legislature is one of the oldest organizations of its kind in the United States. It is composed ot students from North Carolina colleges who gather once a year to consider state issues and conduct a mock General Assembly. Results of the sessions are passed on to the real General Assembly as suggestions. The group placed itself in jeopardy in '57 when it passed a resolution calling for a repeal of North Carolina's laws against interracial marriages. Governor Luther Hodges questioned the usefulness of the Student Legislature and acted to restrict it, but its annual sessions were not discontinued. Among its members at the time were Hunt, Kenneth Harris (mayor of Charlotte), and John Brooks, now Secretary of Labor. After the '61 ban from state buildings, the group began meeting in Raleigh motels. But, on the recommendation of Samuel Townsend, administrator of the Capitol and the Capitol Area Visitor Center, the students were allowed to convene their 41st annual session once again in the Old Capitol in a new approach to use of the Capitol for educational IS THERE LIFE AFTER COLLEGE NOTHING beats fashion from the Varsity Shop and ceremonial events. About 250 students from 25 North Carolina colleges attended the session which ended on Sunday. Included in the group were members of the WCU delegation of the Student Legislature. Carrol Acuff, chairman of WCU's delegation, said, "Western has been involved in NCSL for about four years now and has really gained as much respect as these member schools that have been around fro 35 to 40 years such as NCSU and UNC at Chapel Hill. Our delegation has introduced many thought-provoking resolutions at the monthly Interim-Council meetings of NCSL including the abolition of the death penalty and a resolution calling for the end of status-quo and affirmative action programs in the North Carolina University System. Our delegation is young but I was extremely proud of their efforts this year. Not only have they represented WCU in a favorable light, but the educational benefits they have gained and experienced are invaluable to them individually." NCSL is still not shying away from controversial subjects. A gun control bill was introduced by the Duke delegation. Greensboro College called for the repeal of statutes prohibiting prostitution, leaving such a choice to county vote. Western, with its first bill, authored an act that would provide a state-funded program for crime victims' compensation. The bill passed by consent in the Senate and by acclamation in the House. Those attending the 41st session of the NCSL were Greg Lytle, a junior from Cary, Roger McKinney, a sophomore from Spruce Pine, and Carrol Acuff, delegation chairperson. Ms. Acuff, for her contributions and involvement of three years in NCSL, was nominated for the Carlisle Award, a distinguised merit award given by NCSL's alumni association. Membership for the WCU NCSL delegation is open for WCU full-time undergraduate students at all times.
