4 THE COURlFR-JOURNAL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1938 LOUISVILLE AREA DEATHS 'Wet' and 'dry' forces in Murray are waging a semi-sober campaign ered non-residents of Murray, historically have pushed the issue and can vote in the referendum if they declare themselves residents. But permanent Calloway County residents who live outside the city may not vote; the petition calling for the referendum, brought by the wets, restricts it to Murray. Those residents argue that they would be more affected by alcohol sales than students. Although the drys have raised four times as much money as the wets, the wets contend they have a broad base of support beyond MSU. They blame the 1985 boycotts of Pagliai's and Dakota Feed and Grain restaurants along with" threatening phone calls and incidents like the hole in The Campus Coffee Shop Dell window for the decision by many members of the Committee for a Progressive Murray to band in anonymity behind an MSU student and teacher, who speak publicly for them.

An advertisement for the committee in the Murray Ledger Times shows three people with sacks over their heads. It says: "It's OK to hide your face! (But we must have your help NOW)." Gilbert Gough, pastor of Green Plain Church of Christ in rural Hazel who is not Involved with the Dry League, decried any sort of physical or verbal abuse by dry supporters. But he said people have a right to make their views known. "As a citizen of Calloway County, if I knew that a man was backing the wet issue, I wouldn't feel at all right in supporting him. I would boycott somebody," he said.

He said he wouldn't organize his congregation politically, but "I get up and preach God's word and let the chips fall where they may." The issue got even hotter in August at MSU's registration for fall classes. The wets had been signing up student voters since spring, and members of the Dry League passed out fliers saying that registered voters are considered residents of Murray and must pay city and state taxes. The fliers said students could declare themselves non-residents by taking their names off the voter-registration list About 25 have done so. Nathan Yancy, a student leader for the wets, said the fliers "blatantly tried to discourage students from voting." Students are not required to pay taxes before voting, a point the drys say was made clear. But those who register to vote declare themselves legal residents, and such residents are subject to a city sticker tax if they own a car, city and county officials said.

MSU students who consider themselves temporary residents or nonresidents must pay the tax only if they own a car and work on or off campus, City Clerk Jo Crass said. Lois Green, a Dry League member who passed out the fliers, said it was simply an effort to inform students that with their votes comes By FRAN ELLERS Staff Writer MURRAY, Ky. If the organized "wets" and "drys" in this university town had their way, the latest battle over legalizing the sale of alcohol would be waged on a cerebral plane, not an emotional one. But a hole shot last month in the window of a campus hangout where a "Vote Wet" T-shirt was hanging suggests that won't be the case. Murray residents will vote Sept 27, for the second time in three years, in a local-option referendum.

The dry forces narrowly prevailed in 1985, after winning by a landslide in the early 1970s. While many of the issues remain the same economics, drunken driving, morality they've been complicated by more recent events: Rand-McNally's 1987 ranking of the Murray-Kentucky Lake area as the nation's No. 1 retirement haven although It got low marks for restaurants. A heightened awareness of Kentucky's drunken-driving problems because of the collision in May that killed 27 people on a church bus. And the boycott three years ago of two Murray restaurants whose owner was associated with the wets.

Representatives of the Committee for a Progressive Murray the organized wets and the Murray-Calloway County Dry League have engaged in reasoned debates about the economic effects of going wet Armed with statistics, they have sparred over whether the streets would be safer from drunken drivers. They've even agreed, after a fashion, that the morality of drinking alcohol shouldn't be an issue. Nevertheless, the exchange has become heated at times, with each side accusing the other of twisting the facts. The emotional undercurrents run strong. The Dry League invited Don Tennison, pastor of the church whose bus caught fire in the Carroll-ton wreck, which involved an alleged drunk driver, to speak on the wet-dry issue Sept 6.

At the meeting of more than 400 people, Tennison called on Murray to remain dry, as a photograph of the gutted bus was projected behind him. Lee Williams, who lost his wife and his two children in the crash, also addressed the crowd. John Dale, a Dry League leader and pastor of Seventh and Poplar Church of Christ said the league has tried to steer clear of emotionalism and moralism. But he said he recognized that some would feel the Sept 6 meeting exploited people's emotions. "It is emotional to lose your wife and children," he said.

Another kind of tension exists between Murray State University students and many city and county residents. Students, who are generally accorded temporary status and consid Agnes Afcbing, 79, of 113 Lyndon Lane, died Sunday at Klondike Manor Nursing Home. She was a native of Ankum, West Germany.
