Off-year candidates visit Creighton It is important to remember that congressmen not only cast votes but that they also represent people and are responsible to them whether they are students, farmers or senior citizens. Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) addressed a large audience of students when he made an early Sat- urday morning appearance at Creighton. He was here to campaign for Dan Lynch, the Democratic candidate for Nebraska ' s 2nd Congressional District seat. Kennedy and Lynch were only two of the political figures to visit the campus during the year. Lynch ' s opponent. Congressman John Y. McCoUister, also campaigned here prior to the November election. One of Nebraska ' s three gubernatorial candidates appeared at Creighton. State Senator Richard Marvel, the Republican candidate for governor, spoke to an audience of about 50 persons. His opponents, Demo- cratic incumbent J. James Exon and State Senator Ernest Chambers did not appear due to other commit- ments on their schedules. Two of the Kennedy brothers, Edward (in 1974, below) and Bobby (in 1968, right) have appeared at Creighton. ■ r f
