MFC delegates project Rockefeller nomination Delegates at the Mock Republican Political Convention nominated New York Governor Nel- son Rockefeller for President on the third ballot and later selected Illinois Senator Charles Percy as his running mate. Kansas Congressman Bob Dole presented the keynote address to the more than 1,300 student delegates, chairmen and offi- cers. An exercise in practical politics, MPC at- tempted to simulate a major party convention and to predict who wo uld be chosen as the 1968 Re- publican Presidential nominee. In order for votes to be cast accurately, stu- dents talked with other delegates and attended state delegate meetings. By becoming familiar with the candidates, procedures and issues, stu- dents were provided with an insight into the na- ture and workings of a national convention. As keynote speaker for the convention, U.S. Repre- sentative Bob Dole clarifies election year issues. 20 Confetti fills the air during a mass demonstration after students nominate Governor Nelson Rockefeller.
