1972 was a national election year, the first that 18 year-olds had the right to vote. In this section the Savitar looks at three areas where this decision has changed the look of political campaigns.

l . hey call it Canvassmg November 4 was one of the first really chilly mornings in Columbia, the kind that stiffens up engine oil so a car strains to start and a cold dew collects on everything and urges people to strain to start. At 5 a.m. that morning, with the sun far below the hori- zon, a chartered, nearly empty Greyhound bus rumbled in front of the Memorial Union. Aboard were less than a dozen, sleeping souls, most of them from Stephens College. A passerby e had there been one - would have had no trouble knowing why the bus and the people were there. Dimly lit by a streetlight was a blue and white placard on the busts side: MCGOVERN-SHRIVER ,72. By mid-morning, the bus would take about 15 Columbia students to Kansas City where they would be knocking on doors for George McGovern during the last weekend before the election. They called it ttcanvassing. The trip wasntt news when it happened and it isn't news now. But it was a small, human facet of the 1972 campaign e the first in which 18 to 20 year olds could both campaign and vote. Canvassing was a big part for everybody involved with a particular candidate, even though Gubernatorial candidate Ed Dowdls son Doug may have been the only one who got headlines for doing it. Perhaps the story of one McGovern student telling about one street in one town in one state may not explain defeat at the polls three days later but it will give a glimpse of what the campaign meant to new voters, the footsoldiers of the campaign. When the Columbia students got to the Jackson County Democratic Headquarters in Kansas City, they met a larger group of students from Kansas who had begun work a day earlier. The students were from Kansas State, whose foot- ball team the Tigers were to play that afternoon. But nobody ever talked about the game.
