Students may vote
at campus precinct
Students may now vote where they attend school, providing they
intend to make the locale their place of residence. This decision by
Oregon Attorney General Lee Johnson has substantiated what
Secretary of State Clay Myers has been doing since the 26th amend
ment was ratified by Ohio.
That amendment enfranchised some 11 million new voters between
the ages of 18 and 21. Myers had issued directives to Oregon county
registrars to register all persons who certified they had met the usual
six-month actual residency requirement.
Myers interpreted this to mean that college students could register
at the colleges they attended. Now Attorney General Johnson’s
decision has made Myers’ guidelines official.
Johnson said “The key to the individual’s voting residence is his
intent,” referring to the oath persons take when they register. Johnson
indicated that students should be treated as other members of the
community.
Those students who wish to regard their parents’ address as their
residence may register there. Though some county clerks may raise
questions about a voter’s eligibility, Johnson said it was “pretty much
up to the individual.”
Lane County Registrar Ralph Honey said they have been registering
all persons who sign their residences as being in Oregon. “We take it
at face value,” he said.
Those persons desiring to register can do so at the Lane County
Courthouse, fire stations orU.S. National Banks.
OSPIRG rapped for collection system
A student group plans to attack
the Oregon Student Public In
terest Research Group’s
(OSPIRG) present system of fee
collection at the State Board of
Higher Education Meeting
Mondav in Klamath Falls.
The group—Students for an
Informed Republic (SIR)—is a
loosely-knit non-profit
organization that was formed at
Southern Oregon College (SOC)
in response to protest at the
campus after the shooting of four
Kent State students by the
National Guard in 1970.
Chapters of the organization
exist at SOC and Mt. Hood
Community College. SIR
Executive Information Director
Gerald Swibies said most action
in which the organization par
ticipates is in response to
spontaneous issues at various
colleges.
On many student campuses in
Oregon, including the University,
students pay a flat incidental fee
which subsidizes OSPIRG. along
with several other campus
organizations. Recently,
OSPIRG offered a refund to any
student who wished to get his
$1.00 back.
Swibies, a Portland State
University student, says SIR
opposes the system of mandatory
funding of OSPIRG.
Swibies told the Portland State
University newspaper “The
Vanguard” that the refund
“plays on student apathy,” and
questioned how many students
were motivated enough to seek
their refunds.
At the State Board meeting,
SIR will ask the board to have
students voluntarily pledge
money to OSPIRG instead.
Swibies questioned how many
students were motivated enough
to collect the refund once tuition
and fees were paid and classes
had already started. SIR
currently has attorneys studying
OSPIRG’s fee system to deter
mine whether it violates the
constitutional rights of students,
according to Swibies.
SIR also objects to OSPIRG’s
proposed plan to observe certain
Oregon industries to see what
role they play in American
defense production. Swibies fails
to see how this research is related
to the two main concerns of
OSPIRG, ecology and consumer
protection.
But the important issue with
OSPIRG, according to Swibies, is
“whether or not it is the scope of
a public institution to act as a
collections agency or financial
supporter of a student
organization with state money.”
“SIR is not anti-OSPIRG,”said
Swibies, but it does object to
OSPIRG’s method of obtaining
funds for its operations.
A long-range project of SIR
involves pushing for local boards,
elected by the public, to govern
the state institutions of higher
education.
