CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES VISIT MANOR UNOFFICIAL RESULTS Daniel 92,444 Jenkins 59,476 Congressman Bob Daniel Prior to the November election, the incumbent Fourth District Congressman Bob Daniel and his opponent Cecil Jenkins visited Manor to present their views to the students. A selected group of Seniors were chosen to question the candidated on specific issues. Bob Daniel has been a U.S. Congressman for eight years and has created a reputation as an intelligent and hardworking representative. Dur- ing these eight years, he has acquired the ability to understand and speak out on the issues which will affect not only the Fourth District but the nation as well. He agrees that government spending must be controlled and taxes lowered. Daniel sets National Defense as a priority for America. The U.S. must protect the security and interests of the American people. He has taken a special interest in environ- mental, historic and neighborhood conservation issues. His campaign slogan reminded the con- stituents of his accomplishments while in Con- gress: YOU KNOW HE WORKS FOR YOU. Cecil Jenkins, presently serving on Chesapeake City Council believed the Fourth District needed a real representative. His stand on the issues showed a deep concern for the welfare of the peo- ple in the Fourth District and the Nation. He felt, as does Congressman Daniel, that government spending must be controlled in order to end the high rate of inflation. However, although, Jenkins Mr. Cecil Jenkins views were similiar to those of Daniel, Mr. Jenkins did not have the experience needed to defeat Dan- iel. The citizens of the Fourth District have seen the results of Daniel’s hard work as a Congress- 16 man and know he’ll continue to work for them.

Ww 4 4 RESULTS OF MOCK ELECTION Carter Reagan Anderson eerie a —— A agi Once again, Manor held a mock election corre- sponding to the national presidential election. Yes, the Manor tradition of choosing the loser as our school winner remained unbroken. Since 1974, when the first schoolwide mock election was held, the can- didate selected by the Mustangs, lost the official election. A different technique was used in casting ballots this year. Instead of having mock polls on the com- mons, during lunch periods, all students voted in homeroom. The dirty political techniques used last year such as stuffing ballot boxes and bribing offi- cials, were responsible for this change. Mrs. Yearby, election supervisor, felt in order to give the candi- dates a fair chance and to acquire the most acurate results of the students opinion, it was necessary to change the procedure for student voting. Of the 905 votes cast on November 4th in the mock election, 680 students voted for Democrat Jimmy Carter, 177 for Republican Ronald Reagan and only 48 for independent John Anderson. The Seniors were required in U.S. Government classes to campaign for the candidate of their choice. Posters, buttons and candy favors were distributed among the faculty and students prior tothe election to create enthusiasm. The main point of this assign- ment was to express the importance of being in- volved. One particualr slogan, supporting Ronald Reagan, in tune with the Dr. Pepper song was: I’m for Reagan, He’s for Reagan, She’s for Reagan, Wouldn’t you like to be for Reagan too? MANOR’S ELECTION
