GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES BROWN AND NIXON Governor Edmund G. Pat Brown was guest speaker of the Trojan Democratic Club just prior to the November elections which made him No. 1 man in the state of Cali- fornia again. Governor Brown ' s speech, which was given in Bovard Auditorium, was on the theme of preserving and enhancing the quality of life in California. Before he started his campaign speech, he urged his audience to have faith in President Kennedy ' s Cuban blockade, which had begun only two days before. After delivering this plea, he launched into an eight-point program for bettering the most dynamic state in the Union. The governor ' s main points included harnessing the state ' s growth and spon- soring legislation for a State Development Plan to evolve the highest possible standards for beauty and design in public works. The incumbent also favored giving higher priority to the state ' s recreation and conservation programs. Among other TDC speakers was James Roosevelt, son of the late president. As a result of efforts by the Trojan Young Republican Club, use was visited by Pat McGee, Republican State Senate hopeful, and John A. Busterrud, Assembly candi- date. Speaking for gubernatorial candidate Nixon were Ronald Reagan, host and occasional star-performer of his General Electric Theater television show and Mrs. Rich- ard Nixon. Mrs. Nixon, a graduate of the University, was present at a reception given in her honor at Town and Gown Foyer. 19
