we chose winners They left the MPC to think, to question, perhaps to work on a campaign during the summer. Many Washington candi- dates based their campaigns on work done by University students. A few did important public relations, some ran minor campaigns, most acted as leg men. In the fall they returned to find a Po- litical Union program outlined to help create a University community of in- formed voters. In 17 days the union sponsored as many speakers: ranging from candidates for state representative to Senator Hubert H. Humphrey. The slate of speakers opened with two conservatives, Representative W. K. Stin- son and former State Representative A! Canwell. Canwell spoke on campus the same day as Henry Winston, a member of the United States Communist Party. The Winston speech was the first test of the University ' s revised speaker ban policy.

Three days of exciting, unique, interest- ing, and educational political activity. Some left AAeany to take up positions with real campaigns. A few got their start in politics at the MPC. Others went home just a little better informed. No one went home without a change, a thought, a different mood, an awareness. 19

Canwell and Winston left the podium to be followed the next week by a series of candidates and incumbents. Included in the entourage that crossed the campus were Senator Henry M. Jackson; Representative Thomas Pelly; 1st district democratic candidate, Dr. Ed Palmason; 7th district candidate, Brock Adams and Senatorial candidate Lloyd Andrews. A debate on issues, perhaps the only one, anywhere, was held between L. Brent Bozell, former editor of the Na- tional Review and Dr. Giovanni Costi- gan, professor of history. The topic: Liberalism vs. Conservatism. This chapter in political activity for the campus closed with a Model Election. We picked a slate of winners: Johnson, Evans, Adams, Pelly and Jackson. They won on campus; they won on Nov. 3.
