Mickey Mouse Voting — it is the right of every American citizen, but the decision of who to vote for is an individual right. Two students, however will be glad to help you make up your mind. Ray Hatcher, Republican and Bill Phillips, Democrat have both been politically active since the age of twelve. Their political interest was quite evident in the past gubernatorial race on November 1977. The Democratic ticket of Henry Howell (Gov.), Chuck Robb (Lt. Gov.), and Ed Lane (Att. Gen.) ran against Republicans John Dalton (Gov.), Senator Joe Canada (Lt. Gov.), and Marshall Coleman (Att. Gen.). Although Bill has trouble admitting it, the Democrats did not fare too well at the polls. The Republicans recaptured the governorship, and for the first time elected a Republican Attorney General. Charles Robb, however scored a smashing victory over Senator Canada, winning nine out of ten Congressional Districts. On the local scene, Joan Jones (Demo.) and Vance Wilkins (Rep.) won the race for the Twelth House of Delegates District. In the Eleventh District, Joe Crouch upset incumbent Richard Elliott. Ray Hatcher started his political activities when his father was the Public Relations man for Vance Wilkins’ unsuccessful first campaign. He also worked for the Nixon campaign as well as for Senator Butler's election. Ray’s involvement came to a climax, when he served as a page at the 1977 Republican Convention. Among Ray’s duties were serving on the Speaker Arrangement Committee and chauffering the Governor's limousine. Recruiting volu nteer workers was a challenge, but the Republican Party was able to capture such students as Tommy Albertson, Bill Keggy, and Wendy Kaminski. Along with Ray, they became ‘‘Dalton Ringers”: telephone workers. On the cold, November Election Day, Ray worked the polls at Glass. He recalled that there were 385 votes that could not be accounted for because the machines were not completely Fooling around, Bill Phillips creates a little pre-election tension by pretending to tear up Ray cleared. Mickey Mouse, however received these votes. Being a Democrat is somewhat of a family tradition for Bill Phillips. Bill's Great-grandfather once said, “The only thing worse than a Republican is two Republicans.” Working for Senator Sprong’s campaign in’72 and Andrew Miller’s campaign in ’73 were his first political involvements. In the 1977 Governor’s Election Bill helped conduct a six page poll dealing with political knowledge and opinions. During the election, Bill worked polls from six a.m. on, after having passed out literature for Don Pendalton the night before. While in Washington, Bill once had the honor of meeting the late, great Senator Hubert Humphrey. Late last spring the Phillips family attended Jefferson-Jackson Day, and met the — Ahead by 385 Votes Hatchers’ ‘’Dalton for Governor’ bumper sticker. Democratic candidaties. They also attended the opening of Andrew Miller's state-wide headquarters. If Bill ever says, “Its Miller Time” don’t worry he is not referring to a beer, but instead of the Andrew Miller campaign for Senate. He already has made numerous phone calls for Miller. On April 15, Bill and another student, Palmer Stickley attended the mass meetings. Bill is now the nineteenth alternate for the Democratic Convention to be held on June 10. Bill stated that he would like to see more young people becom e politically active and aware. This November, both Bill and Ray will finally be eighteen and able to vote in an election. It must be exciting after all these years of working so close to the U.S. election process to pull the lever for the candidate of their choice! ELECTIONS 21
