Freshman Eva Evers takes time to look over the Democratic possibilities. Election Fever Runs High at MTSC . . . This was the year of the national elections and our campus was far from being untouched. The fervor felt for Goldwater and Johnson was reflected in the placards appearing suddenly on the campus bulletin boards and other space ordinarily used for other purposes. The assets claimed for each of the two major candidates became inter- loping topics in some classes, for the professors chose sides, too. The impetus from television, radio, newspaper, maza- zines, and the sound tracks brought the campaign to Mid- dle Tennessee State Colle ge. Then there was the time that the Band of Blue, the Sam Davis Drill Team, and an army of partisans greeted LBJ at the Nashville Airport and escorted him to the speaker ' s platform at the War Memorial Building, just a hop and skip from the Capitol. There were those who touched the President ' s hand and kept the memory alive by refusing to wash the spot away until days afterwards. The College Young Democrats were there enmasse. Almost lost in the things national was the sparkling Veteran ' s Club Talent Night capped by the beauty contest. Lovely Freshman Gail Weaver received the crown and sceptre before a pleased and applauding audience.
