RIGHTS Continued From Page 1A choices of "incriminating them selves. lying on their applications or not voting." The suit states that these restrictions violate the plaintiffs’ Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. "No one should be compelled to testify against themselves." Davis said The issue, according to Davis, is whether "compulsion" to incriminate oneself in order to vote is enough to justify a change in state and lo<al law. The case is made more difficult because there are no previous cases to support the plaintiffs' claim. "It’s great if you can argue log it: in front of a judge, but it's flut ter if you can argue precedent," she said. Counsel for the city, state and county maintains that residence addresses are required to insure the accuracy and integrity of the ballot. State elections director Colleen Sea lock told The Register Guard last week that the addresses are needed to prevent people from voting in whichever precinct they wish based on local issues and candidates. Because the suit will not got to trial for several months. Davis filed a motion Wednesday for a temporary restraining order that would allow the plaintiffs to vote using only their mailing address es. The motion was defeated because the precinct in which the plaintiffs live is a split precinct. Two school districts are within the precinct, and since the elec tion board does not know exact ly where the men live, it cannot determine which ballot they should receive. Davis Piled an appeal with the Oth Circuit Court in Son Francis co If accepted, the order would allow the men to vote tomorrow on a restricted ballot that would not include school measures. In addition, counsel for the defense has said that the plain tiffs' fear of prosecution from their voting records is unfound ed. City defense attorney William Cary told the court Wednesday "we're not going to aggressively enforce the ordinance by obtain ing information through voter records or in any other way." However, according to the min utes of an Oct. 19 City Council meeting. Director of Public Safe ty Dave Whitlow told the Coun cil that while the policy's intent had been to issue warnings for the first violation of the camping ordinance, the police department intended to begin "stricter enforcement" of the ordinance as it related to street crime. Violation of the prohibited ramping ordinance is punishable by fines not exceeding $500 or up to 100 days in fail. Whether or not the police use the voter records to pursue home less people is not the issue, Davis said. 1km a use the police still have the legal right to use the records if they want. Musselwhite and West said the camping ordinance, not the vot ing restrictions, is the main protv lorn. It is an example of how homeless people are discrimi nated against in this society, they said. “IThe ordinance] attempts to outlaw misery." Musselwhite said. "An $80 camping ticket would drive most homeless peo ple out ol town, and 1 think that's the point." Musselwhite is a 44-year-old Vietnam veteran who has lived in Eugene since 1978 He said that the camping ordinance is a way of keeping homeless people invisible and powerless. Over turning it, he said, would leave the city no option hut to deal with the problems of affordable housing and the "economic mar ginalization" taking place in this country. "There are more and more peo ple earning less and less money." Musselwhite said. "At the same time we have the loss of industrialization and increasing costs of shelter, we have a decreasing population that Turn to RIGHTS, Page 6A STUDENTS • FACULTY • STAFF ‘/(u Vaccination Influenza vaccinations will be given at the Student Health ('enter every Wednesday. / /tursday atui Friday from 8:00am to ^IMkim beginning Wednesday October 26th.
