MOCK REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Initially conceived by the social science department during the summer of 67 , the idea of a mock political convention was introduced to our college for this impor- tant presidential year. The key to the entire program was the scheduling of an important speaker. The department was able to obtain the Honorable Gerald F. Ford, minority leader of the United States House of Representatives, for March 16, 1968. On this basis, the date of the convention was established. The steering committee, however, felt that a conven- tion with no preliminary speeches or rallies would not serve as an accurate representation of an actual political convention. With this in mind, a series of pre-convention activiti es were arranged which included state meetings for dissemination of information and the formation of strate- gy. Friday afternoon, March 15, E. John Bucci, public opinion pollster, and James Reichley, former legislative assistant to Governor Scranton, and associate editor of Fortune Magazine, participated in a seminar on The Republican Prospects in 1968 . Later that evening, Craig Truax, former state Republican chairman, former Secre- tary of the Commonwealth, and legislative assistant to the majority leader of the Pennsylvania General Assem- bly, held a pre-convention rally. With this program, 1,333 pseudo-delegates were attracted from 15 different colleges. 27
