Despife The recenf quieT in The cifies and on The cam- puses, don'T be Tooled info believing ThaT all The poverTy and problems have been Taken away, and ThaT These people are now conTenTed wiTh whaf They have. To The conTrary, The un- resT and disconTenT are sTiII presenf. lT would seem ThaT These people are now waiTing for The proper momenT before violence breaks ouT anew. No maTTer who They may be, whaT color, or whaT creed, people d-emand The same Things, perhaps in varying degrees, buT sTill The same Things. AT The momenT many people are being lefT ouT of The many Things ThaT we now Take Tor granTed. Things like medical care, educaTion, culTure, and good housing. Unless Americans sTop Their crazy Tear of someone else because Their skins may have a diTferenT color, or Their speech may be somewhaT diTTerenT or They are by an acci- d-enT oT birTh somehow deTor'med, iT will only be a maTTer of Time before These people begin To Take whaT has long been denied Them. Dennis Reed Democrafs Trounced On Wednesday, Ocfober 25, The American Governmenf class of Mr. Greg Mafhias held a mock elecfion. Given The resulTs of The November 8, l972, nafional elecfions, iT would appear ThaT The sTudenTs parTicipaTing in The mock elecfion were exfremely clairvoyanf in Terms of choosing The win- ning candidafes. However, when one compares issues five and six on The mock ballof wiTh The presidenfial candidaTes, inconsisfency is apparenT, especially since said issues were parT of George McGovern's plaTTom1. The candidafes and issues voTed on, wiTh resulTs, are lisTed below: I. Who is your choice for Presidenf of The U.S.A.? Richard Nixon-IO4 George McGovern-32 2.

Guesf ediforial . . . HOW DO I FEEL? How clo I, a McGovern supporfer feel? Presenfly I feel like recifing fhe American's Creed of fhe Declarafion of Independence. Why? Because I feel sorf of lef down, nof by McGovern buf by fhe people I falk fo, people who insfrucf me, people I know, and people I don'f know. I even fhink l'haf's sfrange, buf fhaf parf of me I can'f change. Everyday 'lhe problems of life poinf al' every individual, buf, yef, who wanfs fo realize fhe disfrusf, pollufion, hunger, crime, greediness, inflafion, war, jobless, confrol groups, in- jusfice, welfare, faxes, preiudice, immoralify, lack of pafriof- ism, hafred, and furmoil - all moving away from God. Each of us asks why buf no answers. George McGovern had an- swers. Sure, he was a polifician, and he cIidn'f have every answer, buf he did have an answer fhaf fends fo cafch one's affenfion - money, fo be used for America. I believed in McGovern, and I supporfed him fully. I saw him furned away, and I feel sad. Several 'limes I have heard people say fhal' each pres- idency is really fhe same, yef fhey say fhaf McGovern's ideas are so differenf fhan anyfhing fhey've heard. I fell' 'lhaf we should fry somefhing differenf. For an ever changing coun- fry, America needed and sfill needs somefhing differenf from fhe way if's been going during fhe pasf four, eighf, six- feen, even fwenfy years. Did you ever wanf fo see fhe ad- vanfages of McGovern's ideas? They were really very logi- cal and would have worked, in my opinion. I never wanfecl fo admif fhaf George McGovern would lose, I never lef myself fhink if. ls fhaf wrong? I don'f 'Ihink so. If makes me wonder how many people who vofed for Nixon have ever been for anyone, any idea, any feam who was fhe predicfed loser. Some people iusf don'f wanf fo be differenf from public opinion. Okay, so whaf can I say? l'm nof going fo say 'lhal' l'm glad if furned ouf fhe way if did. Why should I give up and accepf defeaf? I am nof going fo sfop believing whaf I feel- 'rhaf I wanf fo see America's problems solved. lnsfead, l'm going fo confinue 'lo be a parf of fhe loyal opposifion hop- ing 'rhaf Richard Nixon will solve fhe problems illuminafed by fhe George McGovern campaign.
