partisan politics for A new chapter began the next day with a televised debate between Governor Albert D. Rosellini and gubernatorial candidate Daniel J. Evans in Meany Au- ditorium. The topic: education. The re- sult: mud. The outcome: a draw. The Union ' s pre-election program closed five days before the election with a partisan, educational speech by vice presidential nominee Hubert Humphrey. Students put the cap on the election pro- cedure with last minute campaigning covered by press and radio with stu- dents playing the part of the profes- sionals. It was all over but the shouting, and there was little of that, for few were surprised by the outcome. After all, they had worked hard to make the elec- tion what it was. .

peace corps 24 There was a new breed on campus. They were a little older and consider- ably more serious than other students; they were Peace Corps Trainees. They came here from all parts of the nation for a 12 week training program. We only saw them at a distance: across the Haggett dining hall, to and from Health Sciences, or as a tight group carrying shovels under the 45th street viaduct. We met them in elevators, standing in lines, at social softball games, and in locker rooms. We found them to be real people and we envied their opportunity and their adventure. They lived a long day, from 6:30 in the morning to 10:30 at night, six days a week. Sunday was for doing laundry and seeing what the non-training-pro- gram world looked like.
