BREVARD COLLEGE, BREVARD, N. C„ NOVEMBER 8, 1968
Number 10
fiixon Wins;
Sweeps Campus
DpnuWican candidate for
p,S„t of the United States
Kiehard M. Nixton captured Vic
kies in votes cast Tuesday in
Mth the naitional scene and on
Z Brevard College campus.
In the national race, Presi-
w - elect Nixon narrowly
Pd-^ed out Democratic nominee
Hubert H. Humphrey by captur-
290 electoral votes to Hum-
i^teey’s 203. Third party candi
date George C. Wallace captur
ed 45 electoral vtftes out of the
270 needed to claim the Presi
dency.
President - elect Nixon won a
decisive victory over his op-
^nents in the Brevard elec
tion, also staged Tuesday. Vot
ing,'which was done, in the cafe
teria Tuesday morning and the
results released in a special
edition of the CLARION Tues
day afternoon, gave Nixon a
173 vote spread over his closest
opponent out of the 426 votes
cast by the student body.
The national Nixon victoir
was said to be as close as his
defeat to former President
John F. Kennedy in 1960. Proto-
atly the key to the victory for
Nixon this year was seven
states that west against him in
19S0 and voted for him in the
Tuesday election. These states
were Illinois, the state that
carried him over the top in elec
toral votes needed. New Jersey,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Delaware, Nevada and New
Mexico.
The Brevard College victoi^
for Nixon was probably his
largest of the day. The BC
students poured ouit 258 votes
for the winner. This was a win
ning mark of 60.56 per cent.
The students cast 85 votes
for Humphrey, 71 for Wallace
and 12 write'in votes.
President - elect Nixon has
urged the nation to greater
unity, and experts agree that
iiis will probably be the big
gest task undertaken by the
Nixon administration.
The new President will be
sworn into office in January and
will take over the reins from
President Lyndon B. Johnson.
