Mock Election Reflects Workings of Political System This year the first Demo- cratic and Republican Conven- tions were held at Madison High. It all started last spring when Mr. Delp formed a Stu- dent Steering Committee made up of: Beth Shipman, Melissa Headley, Heather Hudgens, Barb Dick, Marge Matuscak, Paul Chilbert, Mike Berg, Donna Laird, and Beth May- hew. This committee was re- sponsible for making the plans and mapping out both conven- tions. The Democratic Convention was first. It was run by the chairwoman—Mary Seufer and Secretary—Mike Gagliardi. First the keynote address was made and the platform was given. Then there were two minority reports given: one on capital punishment and the other on amnesty for draft dodgers. These both passed. After lunch, nominations were made for the presidency and vice presidency. At the close of the convention, the Demo- crats had picked John McVey as the presidential nominee, and Mitch Torres as the vice-pres- idential nominee. The Republican Convention was run on the same format as the Democratic one. For the Republican Convention, the chairman was Tim Avel- lone and the secretary was Chuck Gagliardi. There were minority reports on the legal- ization of marijuana and abor- tion. The platform was against the legalization of marijuana and for the legalization of abortion. Both issues were voted down, so the platform stood pat. Again nominations were made. Rick Norris was the nominee for president and Lynn Pethtel was the nominee for vice-president. Then on November 7, every- one voted. Rick Norris and Lynn Pethtel were victorious with the final popular vote: Norris— 528, McVey—460.
