Homecoming Dance
Politicians Visit Campus
By Eddie Tadlock
On Wednesday, October 3, at
11:00 a.m., representatives of the
Democratic Party, including
State Representative Jim
Crawford, will hold an open
forum and discussion with in
terested students in Dunham
Auditorium. Democrats,
Republicans, Independents, and
“undecideds” are all invited to
attend and present questions to
the Democratic representatives.
On Wednesday, September 19,
the Student Government Associa
tion sponsored two Republican
speakers, Bill Ives, a candidate
for State Representative, and
Fran Waser, a candidate for re-
election.
In a brief lecture they discuss
ed some national political issues
ranging from nuclear arms to
voter registration. They also
gave a few comments along the
lines of political apathy displayed
by today’s younger generation.
Later the floor was opened for
questions and discussion.
For those students who attend
ed, it was a rare opportunity to
hear and discuss political issues
without the distraction of the
rigamarole associated with a
political campaign.
Eddie Tadlock, President of the
SGA, said, “By sponsoring these
political speakers and giving the
students a chance to expand on
their political awareness,
hopefully when the national elec
tions come up in November a bet
ter understanding of politics and
the democratic process will
simplify one’s choice at the polls.
