When Repre- sentative Broyhill came, he was challenged by an aggressive audience who felt they were not receiving straight answers. Miller was challenged in the same manner, but attempted to help the students understand his campaign. Many students wanted to have both can- didates at one assembly, but Rep. Broyhill wanted to avoid a debate after publicly stating that he would stay away from confrontation with his opponent. All four speakers were enthusiastically received by the students who attended the as- semblies. The social studies department hopes to continue the program in future years. To introduce and promote student interest in the national elections, the social studies department arranged to have the candidates for representative from Virginia’s tenth district speak to the student body. Volunteers from the U.S history and government classes formed a panel to deliver questions to the speakers. Some questions were prepared in advance by the history classes. Others came spontaneously from the audience. Unfortu- nately, all four assemblies had to be arranged during mods 3-4 in the morning, so only a select group of students was permitted to at- tend. The first two speakers to address the students were youth co-ordinators for Harold Miller and Joel Broyhill. These amateur speak- ers could only provide biased Mr. Harold O. Miller. 24
