Bcchill .Mary Ellen Mason Student Vote » Imperiled? (Continual from I’atjc One') graduates of Princeton university, who have been barred from voting in the coming elections on the ground that they are not residents of the city. “Recrimination for discrimination. No vote —no trade,’’ read posters distributed about the campus after the election board refused to register 100 undergraduates, who appeared at a registration office. Graduate and semin ary students were allowed to register. The contention of the students' that they are entitled to vote is upheld by President John Grier Hibben and Dean Gauss. # ■* * According 1 o W. 15. Dillard ,county clerk, all students who have registered in accordance with the two laws ((noted below will be permitted to vote without interference from him. The first quotation is from the United States Constitution, Article 11, Section 2: ‘In all elections, not otherwise provided for by this con stitution, every eilizen of the United States, of the age o! Twen ty-one years and upwards who shall have resided in the State (hiring the six months immediately preceding such election, and ing the six months immediately preceding sueh. election, and Vho shall be duly registered prior to such election in the man ner provided by law, shall be entitled to vote; provided, such citizen is able to read and write the English language.’’ # # # # The second is from section 4056 of the Oregon Laws: “Every elector may be registered without charge by personally appearing in the office of the County Clerk and stating the following facts, which the clerk shall enter in permanent writing or typewriting upon the official regis tration cards; Full name of elector, postcffice address, name and number of precinct, residence of the elector, which shall include, in the country, the section, township and range, or in the oity, the street and number, the room and floor if there be any, or such other information as may definitely locate the electors residence; place of birth, par ents full name, whether naturalized; if naturalized, the time place and court of naturalization, as evidenced by the final citizenship papers or a duly authenticated copy or certifi cate thereof, made by the elector; and the name of the poli tical party with which the elector affiliates, unless he re fused to name his party preference, in which case the clerk shall enter the word ‘refused.’ ’’ Tim next move is for the “brotherhood” to make- If it is wise ami sineere. it will realize that it lias attempted to solve its problem in the wrong way, and will back up. What The Gazette-Times Thinks About It A poll being taken by the Oregon Emerald, stiulont publi cation at Eugene, shows Ilia! the students are f> to 1 in favor of opening the theatres there on Sunday. It would seem to one having no prejudice in the matter that the Eugene pastors would take note of this sentiment and let up on their opposi tion. Suppose the ministers win. Suppose they are able to exert politieal tyranny sufficiently to enforce their unfair de mands that every business he (dosed on Sunday but theirs. They will not succeed in making tin1 students go to church. They will not succeed in keeping them from the picture shows. They will go to Springfield. Salem and other towns just as Corvallis students do every Sunday by the hundreds. All the ministers will succeed in doing will he to alienate the respect the student might otherwise have for the churches. They will simply make these five out of six students sore so that they will stay away from church more than ever. The students will fed the gross injustice done them. They will realize that the politically strong are merely imposing their will upon the politically weak and establishing thereby a union of church and state that is contrary to the spirit of religious liberty as well as against common sense1. The students will resent it, and rightly, and the churches will lose the respect, and at tendance of tin1 very people they seek to interest. Corvallis tiazette-Times. Anil Just a Little More Polities Since the Kmcrold has boon forced by incidents outside ils control to take cognisance ol tin1 Eugene political situation, and since as a result of that fact student voters on the campus probably will take a greater interest in the coming election than a in other in tin1 history of the city, the Emerald tools it only just to point out to the students what they mas expect to find in the coming election. Mayor Williamson has always, when there was occasion, manifested an attitude of aloofness from the university and sometimes of hostility toward it. It was on the initiative of Mayor Williamson that the raids on student serenades wore made a year or so ago. It was Mayor Williamson who sat in a conference of business men called to consider the impending effort afterwards successful to recall the auditorium bonds, and all hut thumbed ids nose at the university and all its works, lie led and supported the campaign which resulted in the recall of the auditorium bonds, 11. E. Wilder, candidate for mayor against Williamson, is a university graduate with a sympathetic understanding of student aspirations and ideals, lie is opposed to the eltort to disfranchise the students, and last night expressed himself def initely opposed to the stand o the federated Church .Brother hoods in a radio address over KOKE. He favors a city adminis tration which "ill show the university and its students fair consideration and the apprceiitiou of the city at having the university and its students in the city of Eugene. Hoover or A1 Smith “Why am J for A1 Smith?” said Mr. J. K. Hornor, assistant professor of English. . “Because the Republicans have deliberately made an issue of reli gious intolerance. They have done it in a subtle manner. Openly they i have repudiated it. But many things are more effectively accom plished in an indirect manner. In this case it is the use of negative suggestion. There is not a psycholo gist in the country who does not recognize negative suggestion as a powerful device. Tell tin* child not to touch the radio and that’s the j first thing on its menu of things to be done. Tell the American public. ■ it must not drink and thousands j who never thought of it before ac quire a sudden thirst. Likewise, tell the people—deliberately suggest— that they must not indulge in reli gious bigotry and immediately they recognize it as just so much political T. N. T. They take the cue and begin throwing it. In his accept ance speech Herbert Hoover tipped ! off every fanatic in the country to get busy and do his dirty work for him. I want to see if this country really says what it means and means what it says about equal rights and liberties. “Because the Republicans have > given us eight years of talk and no j action in the ease of farm relief. Despite their talk we have no rea son to believe they will do better in the future. We have had eight years .of four-flushing. With no program at all but a favorable atti tude on the question, A1 Smith is a better bet than Hoover. “Because Smith is honest and fearless in his stand on prohibition. Disregarding the issues of modifiea tion, he has shown himself ready to risk the loss of the highest office in the land for the sake of an honest eonvjetion. Sueh integrity in poli ties is not to be despised. “Because Smith’s record shows liini to be an executive as well as a constructive statesman and not merely a politician. “Because Smith could not be dominated. Hoover would be domi nated by every Babson, statistician, W. T. U. worker, and political soothsayer from the Bronx to Pago Pago. “Because Smith can at least stand up on his t wo hind feet and make a speech, lie does not. write and read statistical essays. “Because the Republicans have employed such a political niuck 1 raker as Mabel Walker Willcbrandt. “Because, if the Republicans are j so afraid of electing a man with modification views, it must indicate that there is really something wrong.” ‘Theaters MCDONALD Lust chance, “The Legion ot' the Condemned,” starring (iniv Cooper and Kay Wray.

"The whole thing centers in what construction the courts would give to the word ‘residence.’ If they do not get too technical, then all the students will lie permitted to vote. If they do, a few will lie deprived of their vote, but a great majority | of them would still be permitted to exercise their constitutional right as statistics from the registrar’s office show that almost half the students 1 on the campus are self-supporting, and these students make Eugene their permanent residence. No flaw could be found as to their fulfitl 1 meat of the residence requirements. " Pile students are legally regis tered and may vote. Their vote may lie challenged. If it is. the courts will have to be the arbiter.” Mr. W ilderman said that, person ally, he is not interested which way the election goes on the Sunday movies. What he was concerned about was the protection of the stu dents’ votes. Because, however, of his position ,.s publicity man for the assoi iated students, which necessi tates his departure from the campus until titter the election, he will not I represent the associated students, should it become necessary to em ploy legal action to protect the stu dents’ right to vote, .Toe McKoown, president of the student body, said. Onthank Gives Views “We have taken all precautions to advise students regarding their registration as legal voters in Eu gene and Lane county, and after questioning many of them, are of the opinion that none have regis tered here who are not entitled to do so,” Karl Onthank, executive secretary of the University, speak ing for Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president, declared. Just how the names of the alleged illegal student voters will be erased from the registration books, and just how the county will lie able to prevent them from voting is a ques tion that is being discussed among the more puzzled observers of the case. It is pointed out that the elec tion is only two weeks hence, and that plenty of emergency work will need to be done to clear the situ ation. That a large percentage of regis tered student voters are not legally entitled to the ballot is a statement made by Attorney Husband' in his findings which will be read at a meeting of the church brotherhoods to be held Friday night. Actual habitation and intention to remain are the two main elements necessary to acquire such legal residence, ac cording to the attorney’s opinion. Students Arc Eligible Husband pointed out that 22 states, Oregon included, have either the following constitutional or statu tory provision: “for the purpose of voting, no person shall be deemed to have gained or lost a residence by reason of his presence or absence' while a student of any seminary of learning.” The Morning Register, Eugene daily, backing the rights of the stu dents, will say in an editorial this morning: “This newspaper hopes that after full consideration the Eugene Fed eration of Church Brotherhoods will decide not to make an effort to pre vent regularly registered students of the University of Oregon from, voting at the coming election. We “Everything within our power will be done to See that the students are not deprived of any right legally theirs,” Joe Mc Keown, president of the assoc iated students said yesterday, in answer to the step taken by the Federated Church Brotherhoods. “An attorney has been appoint ed to give legal opinion and the student council will meet today to consider his advice.” fool profoundly that such an effort would be most unfortunate, both in its effects upon public opinion and upon good relations between the city of Eugene and the University and its student body. “Tiie practice of allowing quali fied university students to vote in the cities wherein they abide during nine months of the year for four years is a generally recognized prac tice. To forbid it would bo in ef fect to disfranchise the majority of students from out of town. Few of them would vote by mail. There never has been until now any ques tion raised against the practice here. It will hardly be denied by anyone that the reason the question is raised now rests solely on the basis of an apprehension by those who oppose Sunday theatres that the student majority will vote for Sunday theatres. "To attempt to deprive several hundreds of potential voters—many of them first-time voters—of the ballot for such a purpose as this could not fail to implant in student I minds generally a most unfortunate [impression of our political institu tions and the political franchise. Bo I with all due respect to the men of : the church brotherhoods the Register j hopes they will decide not to carry through a policy which it believes to be mistaken and very harmful.” -- ..... ...— ..._ Classified Ads FOR RUNT Two light housekeep ing apartments vacant .November 1.

The contribution box is in the lobby of the main library. Though the source is somewhat obscure, it is had on reliable auth ority that the students of the Uni versity of Oregon will soon be asked to do their studying outside of the city limits of Eugene. This action is the result of a recent straw vote taken on the campus designated to determine student opinion on the matter of open libraries on Sunday.! The results conclusively showed the open Sunday was favored. It is thought that such a condi-' tion would be detrimental to the best interests of the city, since the students would have no time for anything but studying while at the university. The opinion was even expressed by those seeking to prevent the Sunday law passing, that in all prob ability the success of such a law would ultimately lead to Sunday de bates, seminar discussions, and even an open Y. M. C. A. where games might be played during Sunday school hours. (Overheard at the Pangborn domicile.) Arden X.—Now see here m’dear, you haven’t darned my socks yet.

They wish to have all legally qualified voters vote, but think it would be most unfortunate for both the Uni versity and the city if, through a misunderstanding of the law, any considerable number of students i should vote illegally in the city elec ! lions. The University will be se verely criticized if an illegal stu dent vote should decide any highly controversial issue in Eugene, whether it be the election of a mem ber of the school board, the issuance : of University auditorium or other j bonds, or the perennial question of an open Sunday. Everyone who is entitled to vote ! should register and cast his ballot ' according to the dictates of his own conscience. If a student is a legal resident of Eugene he has just as much right to vote in city elections 1 as anyone else. Not merely is it his 1 right but it is his duty as a good citizen to vote. But if he is not a legal resident of the city he has no , right to vote here, but should vote in his home precinct either person ally or by mail. It is my belief that those students who have registered in Eugene but are not legal voters within the meaning of the law have done so through a misunderstanding, and when the facts are correctly placed before them they will refrain from voting in city matters. To my mind there is one rather simple anil obvi ous test which can be applied in the case of a student voter and if would probably settle the question correct ly in nine cases out of ten. Every student when he registers in the University gives both a permanent and a Eugene address. If these are different, he clearly is not entitled to vote in Eugene. If they are the same the:, may still be some doubt n the minds of others but they will not be disposed to question the good faith of the student who votes. A. E. CASWELL. “BOYCOTT” HAS POWER ro the Editor: While the Eugene federation of •hureh brotherhoods, for obvious political reasons, holds up the stu dent vote they should consider among other things that “boycott” is a strong word with a world of power behind it. Would our min isters help us wash away our sins ; by antagonizing us? BILL EDDY. CHURCH AND POLITICS ro the Editor: The church should not meddle in politics. How many good Republi cans and true the past few months have said that? It has been one of the old standby arguments against A1 Smith, who, they say, should not l)e president because the pope would move his toothbrush and slippers into the White House. But it seems that Eugene’s churches are quite interested in politics and have gone so far as to hire a stripling lawyer to advise them just how far they could carry their politics and prevent their side from losing by taking away the stu dents’ vote. The church brotherhood, thanks to the Emerald’s straw ballot, found out that they would not poll very many votes in favor of keeping out Sunday movies. So their next move, which reeks of good old-fashioned politics, was to stop their opponents from having any say in the question, if possible. It hasn’t been very long ago that the newspapers were loud and long in their wails beseeching the people of the United States to get interest ed in their country and vote. And now comes along a petty, ambitious group which would stop the younger generation from voting, just at a time when it should have every en couragement to bring it to the polls. It is none too eager about politics, anyway. What it needs is anything but a ban on voting. The officials of the University are against Sunday movies, coat, collar and tie, but the students have shown.themselves in favor of it by their straw ballot. To the church brotherhood: If you see your cause defeated by the student vote,, take the be.atiug and be American citizens. Forgfct vour little local issues! The students want to vote for president as well as you do. I believe there is such a word as “duplicity.” It seems that the churches are very eager to add the students to their membership rolls while they are in Eugene. Now they’re getting selfish and trying to keep tjiose who never go to church anyway from enjoying them selves on the dreary Sunday eve nings in Eugene.
