POLITICAL WEEK Timed to coincide with the national elections, OU ' s political week touched off many heated arguments in dorms, cafeterias and classes. Students were confronted with windows full of posters and various styles of soapbox oratory. When the signs were torn down and the handbills swept away, the seniors had elected Charles Krauskopf their president; the juniors, John Meeks; the sophomores, Pete Winter, and the freshmen, Jay Hornsby. The national parties were represented, too. Senator Nixon spoke to a crowd of 5,000 gathered at the Athens depot, Assistant Secretary of Labor Robert T. Creasey presented the Democratic viewpoint, and a mock ballot gave Ike and Nixon a landslide victory. 21
