Students Meet Candidates The three candidates for Greensboro mayor met with city high school students on October 1 at an 8:00 p.m. GYC (Greensboro Youth Council) sponsored program. After an introduction by GYC Chairman Paul Mosko- witz, candidates Sol Jacobs, John Forbis, and Vic Nuss- baum were given approxi mately five minutes each to address some pertinent is sues, such as the ward systems, industrial growth, and housing and zoning laws. Then students, by school district, were given the floor for about 35 minutes for questions. According to GYC Records Director Lorraine Marca, this program was sponsored in order to give an “oppor tunity for high school stu dents to meet the candidates and see where they stand.” She believes that people at least need to know who the candidates are and need to become ‘ ‘more informed about city government.” In addition, Marca maintains that students need “some sort of understanding of issues facing the city.” Marca hopes that meet ings with this type of struc ture will encourage good questioning and promote some good debates. She adds that the GYC has tentative plans to hold other such informative meetings in the future. Such events will be open to all high school students.
