P' There was the thrill of campus elections in the carnival atmosphere of blaring loudspeakers, dixie-land music, campaign posters and cards, seemingly unending stream of victory-minded campaigners through the dorms. Enthusiastic political rallies carried on the spirit of the election, and stirring campaign speeches reveal- ed the platforms upon which the candidates based their hopes for success. Rock and roll combos and free cold drinks played the equally important roles of influencing the minds of the undecided voters and coaxing their votes toward particular aspirants.

These leaders, and their elected count- er-parts, set their sights toward attempting to make this school vear an outstanding chapter in the annals of .Xrkansas State College history.
