Practice Politics . . . r 2 ,udp Centennial students enjoyed a sneak- preview of what their futures would bring as they stepped behind the voting curtain and cast their ballots. The voting process culminated two months of researching, campaigning, and organizing by Contem- porary Issues students whose assign- ments were to produce a mock election. Heated debates were held as those seek- ing office sought to influence and im- press their constituents. Students adopted the roles of candidates in an effort to rep- resent more accurately a true election. Harry Hughes and J. Glenn Beall found representatives in Andy Middleton and Chris Liggett. Tom DeSantis and Steve Shaffer became candidates for county executive by representing Hugh Nichols and James Ansell. After speeches had been given and the campaigning had come to a close students faced the most difficult task be- fore them. They had heard the candidates stands on issues been versed in the work- ings of the political system and been in- structed on how to register. Finally they voiced their opinion by voting. The results of the mock election concurred with that of the real election. Having been pre- pared for future voting students awaited the time when their votes would truly count.
