By; Donovan Campbell The weather yesterday proved no different than usual for this time of year. It was cold, but that didn’t stop candidate Woody Quinn from his mission.

The other guys have been around and Woody Quinn outside the Walkup building everybody knows them; that’s why they don’t have to do this,” Woody commented. Woody’s campaigning over the past few months mostly entailed rallying students not only to his cause, but to vote in general. A good deal of effort was put into stimulating Montreat College stu dents to register here in Montreat and then to vote. “1 wouldn’t have registered or voted if Woody hadn’t been doing this,” stated freshman Kipp Cox.
