What this boils down to is
the fact that the cafeterias are

that not everyone will be satisfied since it is only normal for

* "He Left A Nolc Saying lie Thinks Very Highly Of Yon"

Clouding The Issue
It was bound to happen. In
Kentucky, a state where campaigns
for the governorship last the better
part of three years, someo.ie just
had to inject politics into the nonpartisan issue of whether or not
to vote for a revision of the state

constitution.
The problem arose last week
when Secretary of State Thelma L.
Stovall accused Gov. Edward T.
Breathitt of distributing 30,000 "illegal" applications for absentee

ballots.
Apparently, the controversy
came about in this way: Breathitt
requested, from Mrs. Stovall's office, about 30,000 absentee voter
applications to distribute to college students. Mrs. Stovall refused
the request because state law authorizes her to supply the application forms only to county court
clerks.

The Governor's office then contacted the court clerk of Franklin
County, asking for 30,000 of the
forms. When the clerk discovered
he did not have a sufficient number on hand, he requested an additional number from Mrs. Stovall. The Secretary of State said
the Franklin County office did
not need this number, and refused
the request.
Then the Governor's office requested that the Finance Department reproduce 25,000 application
forms identical to ones used for
a number of years by state Democratic headquarters. That's where
the trouble started.
Prior to 1964, only students
and government employes were allowed to vote by absentee ballot.
When this was changed, a new
form was drawn up. The 25,000
copies printed by the Finance Department followed the old form,
and this, Mrs. Stovall asserts,
makes them illegal.

Safne Basic Guideline
Not everyone in Frankfort
agrees. Attorney General Robert
Matthews said it was the substance of the application that determines its legality, and not its
form. If this is true, both the old
and new forms follow the basic
guideline, that the person applying to cast his absentee ballot is
signing an affidavit that he is a
qualified voter and that he will
not be present where he is a registered voter so as to cast his vote.
Under KRS 126.160, it is stated
"the application shall be substantially" in a prescribed form, as
stated in the statutes. It seems
the legality of those applications
run off at Breathitt's request would
hinge on the word "substantial."
Taken in a fairly broad sense,
which is how county clerks generally take them, it would seem
the old form, in substance, is virtually identical to the new form.

Politic

Breathitt,

the

probably

strongest advocate of the revision
proposal, was making a special effort to get applications in the hands
of a group he knew probably would
favor his views.

The old forms legality was
backed almost immediately by one
of the Governor's cohorts, the Attorney General.

Both Waited Too Long
There are some questions that
should be answered:
Why did Mrs. Stovall wait

until the application deadline to
file her complaint? It seems obvious
she hoped to have the older forms
declared invalid at a time when
students could not reapply, thus
destroying thousands of votes favoring the revision.
Why did Breathitt wait until
days before the deadline to begin
worrying about the shortage of application blanks on campuses if,
in fact, there was a shortage at
all? On most campuses Young
Democrats and Republicans groups
supplied the forms and even mailed
them for students to the county
clerks. Obviously, the Governor
felt the attempt to pass the charter
revision should be milked to the
last vote.
10

Letters To The Editor

How in the world could the
political brains in Frankfort make
such a thoughtless mistake as to
duplicate a retired application
form? To this we have no answer.

Right Of Due Process
To the Editor of the Kernel:
The University has finally publicly stated its position with regard
to students' associated in one way
or another with narcotics and hallucinatory drugs. Yet when we face
this statement which the University "has been prepared to make for
a long time" we are forced to admit
that it has neither moral nor legal

A Petty Squabble
Students using the older forms,
and these will likely be few since
they were distributed so late, apparently will remain eligible to vote
since both the old and new application forms are in substance the
same.
What is frightening is that some
students may have been deprived
of their constitutional right to vote
because of a petty partisan squabble.

Students wishing to obtain application forms on campus could
easily have found them. It was
not necessary that the Governor's
office supply them in the first

justification.
That students will be dismissed
or suspended upon arrest is a certain admission by the University
that it will abdicate all responsibility in the face of any threat to
its image. The University has
clearly shown itself to be inconsistent in the use of its doctrine
in loco parentis. Futhermore, the
University is surely flaunting the
right of due process as guarenteed
by the fourteenth amendment and

Editor's Note: President Oswald
Friday clarified the University's
original policy statement concerning the disciplinary action to be
taken if UK students or employes
are arrested on narcotics charges.
Oswald said established University

students. However, such policies as

other cities have groups already
