Presidential Campaigns Are Taking Shape Preisidenitial campaigns are progressing with full vigor here at B.C. The participants of each party are working hard to stir up imterest and support for their individual candidate. Their means of winning voites include posters, pamphlets, and verbal exailitation of their candidate. Soime of the organized cam paigns are even reaching out side the sphere of Brevard Col lege and helping the local can didates in town. In the Republican pool, A1 Horay has been appointed chair man and John Hurst assistant chairman. The oha-irman for Humphrey advocates at B. C. is Rick Hoffman. Third party threat finds able support under Bruce Armes, the chairman for the Wallace camp here at Bre vard College. All three political camps have been holding organ izational! meetings quite fre quently and competition for votes is high to say the least. The mock elecltion. sponsored by the History Department, has become a real interest on cam pus and has given Bre’/ard Col lege a taste of the political zeal ith-at acwmpanies every elec tion year. As electicn^ day draws near, the tension will un doubtedly rise. The political fervor should come to a head on the night before elections when each political camp will send two representatives to a debate before the college. Polls will be opened here at Brevard on the same day as they will be across the nation, butt they will close early in the afternoon End the results will be publish ed in the Clarion to allow stu dents to see beforehand who would be our next President if left i p to the individuals at Brevard College. Thus, the mock election here at Brevard sihould provide us with an interesting election year and an idea of how the young think in rela tion to politics.
