The Scott Hall Council held a mock
presidential election last week and a
total of 400 people voted. The results
were as follows:
Carter—178
Reagan—144
Anderson—74
Ed Clark—2
Walter Cronkite—1
Mickey Mouse—1
A detailed breakdown of the vote
showed most Anderson supporters
were either Democrats, Independents
Or Republican females.
Carter garnered most of his support

gained a good level of support from

to North Vietnam to talk with Presi

Toure is still an activist. He des
cribes inactivity as a crime against
the people. A major goal of his tour of
Amercan college campuses is to
stimulate interest and understanding
of African history. Since a visit to
Africa in 1968, Toure has been a pro
ponent of a free Africa unified under
scientific socialism.
“To have freedom, one must at all
times be rigorously thinking,” Toure
told his audience. Such knowledge
can only come through struggle. Col

Toure, have a responsibility to those

have traditionally had about can

Reagan got most of his support
from registered Republicans. Eighty
of his 144 votes came from this
source. His support was split evenly
between males and females.
The remaining candidates,
Cronkite, Clark and Mouse, got all
but one of their four votes from
Republicans. One vote for Clark came
from a declared Libertarian.
Of the 400 voters, 223 were female,
175 were Democrats, 120 were Rep
ublicans and 104 were Independents.
The vote was a follow-up to a
political forum held earlier.
who sacrificed for freedom in the
past. This responsibility is two-fold.
First, the student must understand
the history of his people. “Either you
are Africans or you are Americans —
it’s as simple as that,” Toure stress
ed. The second responsibility of the
student is to organize the people. The
weakness of the movements in the
sixties, as described by Toure, was
that the people were mobilized but
not organized.

The “U” building of Phase III

himself, nor will he until the people
are organized. He feels the party
system would use his vote against
Africans. “Until the people are
organized, oppression will continue,”
he said. To be a revolutionary, Toure
told his audience, is to tell the truth,
to live the truth, to continually strug
gle for change. “There is no middle
