Yeah, like a newspaper article, or something? You never mentioned it was
your dad.

The first election I was old enough to vote for was '88. I was a sophomore
in college. One of my professors was very adamant about voting and one day
several weeks before the election (plenty of time for registrations to be
processed) she got voter registration applications from a poli sci professor
to give in her classes to those who weren't registered. I wasn't registered
yet, so I filled it out. She turned them all in to the poli sci professor
who promised to send them for processing.

A couple weeks before the election we asked her about it since no one had
received their voter registration cards yet.

Turns out the whole batch from all her students got "lost" after she turned
them in to the poli sci professor, and they got "found" after she asked
about them. By that time it was too late to process them before the
election, when I finally got mine after the election it was dated the day
after the election. Needless to say she was livid.

This is the interesting part....the professor who encouraged us to register
was a music professor, and the poli sci professor who promised her she would
take care of it was running for a local election under on the Republican
ticket. I never had any proof but I suspect since all these came from the
music school, someone in the poli sci department might think they would have
all voted Democrat, so the applications convienently got "lost."

I guess the first-time voters couldn't be trusted to vote either. I got over
it, your dad will too.

Before anyone goes on about a left-wing pinko university, know that this was
Belmont University, known at the time as Belmont College, which is a central
college of the Tennessee Baptist Convention. When I attended there were no
Greek organizations, men's and women's dorms were separate and across campus
from each other and off-limits to students of opposite ---, alcohol
consumption was strictly forbidden, and mandatory chapel attendance every
Wednesday at 11:00 for all students or you didn't pass. Now there are Greek
organizations (but IIRC no fraternity/sorority houses), there are two coed
dorms (coed by floor, opposite --- still off limits), still no drinking
allowed and chapel is still mandatory.

Never trust a poli sci professor?
Don't send your kids to Bible College, or they'll turn out radical?
