Mirror
Asks:
This year’s Presidential election will be
the first in which the newly enfranchised
18-21 year olds will have the opportunity
to vote. Some think the so called youth
vote will carry a lot of weight in the ele
ction, or will there be any such block vote
at all?
We asked students in front of Kings
Mountain High School one afternoon this
week what effect they think the 18-21 year
old vote will have on the outcome of this
year’s Presidential election.
Editor’s Note: This is not Intended as
an opinion poll, as each student would
probably have a different answer. No at
tempt was made to solicit contrasting op-

MICHAEL DYKE; "Young people should
use this privilege, and be informed before
they use it... It ^ould be used as a pri
vilege, and not as a wedge to get their
ideas into the government. "
LOU ANN ALEXANDER; " I think it wUl
come out a lot better. A lot' of young
people are more aware of the issues than
many older people."
JOHN PLONK; " I think the candidates
will try to nnake the issues go to say
they’ll help the 18-21 year old voters out."
JOHN BRIDGES; "Idon’tthlnklt’llchange
the outcome. I think Nixon will win any
way."
JEROME CASH; "I think the 18-21 year
old vote will be in fiivor of Nixon. He
is doing his best to stop the war - petals
will realize this."
