  • October Western Carolinian * vl s "ACLU," continued from 12 right to fair trial of the Scottsboro Boys. This was a group of adolescent black males who were accused of raping a white girl. Over fifty years ago no black people got fair trials in this country, the Scottsboro Boys were no exception. They also supported John Scopes, a teacher fired for teaching the theory of evolution. In another famous early case they fought against the State of Massachusetts when Bartelomeo Vanzetti and Nicola Sacco were unfairly convicted and sentenced to death for treasonous murder (the two were pardoned years after their execution). Anti-censorship is another one of the struggles they take on. They fought against the Customs Service ban of James Joyce's "Ulysses" and William Burroughs' "The Naked Lunch." During the Vietnam War era, they wanted full public disclosure of the Pentagon Papers. These documents were classified because the Department of Defense said that opening them to the eyes of the public would jeopardize national security. In the late 1980s the ACLU held their ideal of impartial representation over the consensus opinion of their members when they defended the right of the American Nazi Party to peaceably demonstrate in Skokie, Illinois. The city government of Skokie, a town with a high proportion of Jewish residents, went all the way to the U.S. Features ^ fr Supreme Court to fight the Nazi Marchers. The court ruled in favor of the American Nazi Party. The ACLU's defense of Nazis undermined some of their support, but true believers remain among their ranks. In The Guide to American Law writer Norman Dorsen speaks of the diehard commitment. "The ACLU has supported religious and racial minorities... and the right of labor to organize... The ACLU has participated in the civil rights and women's rights movements... The ACLU represented these groups not because it is always sympathetic to their cause, but because it defends the constitutional rights of all..." Often college students champion radical views and support controversial causes. Being politically active can often put one in the line of fire, especially in rural America where the "moral majority" has such a'strong foothold. The best way to keep from being the victim of unjust action is to be aware of your rights. Since the voice of one is weaker than the roar of many voices, the ACLU can help you put pressure on any institution, business, or public agency that infringes on your personal liberties. Justice Earl Warren once said,"it is difficult to appreciate how far our freedoms might have eroded had it not been for the Union's (ACLU) valiant representation in the courts of the Constitutional rights of people of all persuasion." Eoo't Be scared bg prhat'S ^ Behind th ^ John Rush StaffReporter As a general rule, students don't involve themselves in local or national politics. We just figure that the adults will make our choices for us. I don't know about you, but turning 18 really meant a lot to me. I have been going to the polls with my parents for as long as I can remember. At that time, I wished I could vote just because I wanted to pull all of the cool little levers. College students have always been known for taking active stands on their beliefs. Now is the time for your voice to be heard. If you have never voted before, I strongly suggest you try it this year. After making a well informed choice on a candidate, your concience feels much lighter. A good way to demonstrate your pride in being American, and making America a more ideal place to live in, is to get out and vote. Just in case you haven't been keeping up with the recent campaigns, the Congressional race is at the top of the ticket this November. As election day rolls around, b Curtain the advertisements for these candidates will increase drastically. And yes, they will get rather ugly around the end. Don't let this turn you off to the democratic proccess. Commercials are usually the most widely seen form of information that the candidates submit. Only the big runners, such as the Congressional candidates, can afford to run adds on the television. Office seats of less "importance" are usually lost in the blaze of larger campaigns. Jobs such as County Commissioner, or Chairperson of Natural Resources, are widely ignored. When voters arrive in the voting boxes, these obscure names are lined up all along the board. So many times, people just vote for certain people because they are members of a favorite party, or are a preferred race or sex. This is definately the wrong way to vote. Try to find out some information on the people that you are about to place into office. There will usually be a representative at each poll to distribute pamphlets and answer questions. Take the time to make an informed decision before you pull the curtain on November 8th.
