Otis Bowen visits with an elderly voter, while he campaigns for governor. Weeks of campaigning ended for politicians on November 7 when thousands of citizens cast their vote in the general election. At the polls, balloters pulled levers representing favorite county officials, represen¬ tatives, court justices, presidential choices and other offices. Hoosiers also voted on five state consitutional amendments. Eighteen-year olds ex¬ ercised voting privileges for the first time in a national election. President Nixon retained the position of Chief Executive with a landslide victory over Senator George McGovern. Dr. Otis Bowen and Robert D. Orr were winners in the state gubernatorial race. Locally, Republicans topped the tabulations with the exception of State Represen¬ tative Craig Campbell, the only win¬ ning Democrat. In keeping with the campaign spirit, the Social Studies Department held “Candidate Days.” Area candidates voiced views on elec¬ tion issues and answered questions posed by students. Vice-Presidential candidate Sargent Shriver gives a confident wave to the crowd. President Nixon tries to better foreign relations by greeting new friends. 23
