Democrats Report Strongr Campaign 1 r
The States' Rights Party has been carrying on a vigorous campaign here at Longwood under the able leadership of Barbara Tyre Ward chairman. An impressive campaign speech .11 assembly the day after the States Rights Parly was boi r. in Richmond. Virginia. Since then, pictures, posters, and stickers have adorned the whole school. The partywas also represented In the recent Circus parade by a decorated car. Since this party was "born" only a couple of weeks ago. the organization has just started and the campaign has not had time to spread throughout the nation. In fact, Andrews will not be on the ballots of many states lb will be on the Virginia ballot, however: and he will probably net most of his support from Virginia since Richmond and Prince Edward County are the strongholds of the States Rights Party
The Democratic campaign is well under way. reports Nancy Quarles. campaign manager for the Democat Party. Supporters of the Democrat ticket have been busy preparing for the 1956 Mock Election at Longwood.
The States Rights Party is really more a cause than a party. Because the party has just been organized and is not nearly as strong as the two major parties, it realizes that Andrews has a lesser chance of winning the Presidency. This is not even its purpose. Its aim 111 eiicourauiii" the public to vote Itr Andiews Is to influence the partv that wins the election. The in .ie people who vote for Andrews. •.lie more influence his platform will have on the candidate who becomes
propriately represented. An automobile was colorfully decorated, and various campaign slogans were put on the car. Nancy recently talked with a student from the Norfolk Division of the College of William and Mary concerning their recent mock election. It was found that in their campaign and election, Stevenson and Kefauver were strongly supported by the Student Body.
Due to the absence of Anita Heflin. Jackie Harnsberger was found wearing an Ike pin and knei-diK p in posters serving as Longwood's Republican campaign manager. Jackie, a junior, is a Home Economics major from Luray, Virginia. The Republican campaign has consisted of posters, pictures, buttons, and stickers obtained from National Republican Headquarters. S'ate Headquarters, and several counties. Posters have been placed over the campus, and the smiling face of Ike can be seen everywhere. These range in size from small to more than lifesize. The Ike buttons are being worn by a large number of students. The buttons are also found in a great variety of sizes. Many of the students for Eisenhower have placed stickers en their doors which illustrate the idea that there will be peace and prosperity with Eisenhower.
The Democrat Campaign was given a vigorous kick-off by the political speech given by Eleanor Stradley, during Assembly on Tuesday, October 16. The speaker was avidly applauded by students who carried posters and pictures of Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver. the next President.

"Our Test ts Time!" The State Democrat Committee has offered a great deal of assistance in the Democratic campaign at Longwood, for which everyone is very appreciative. The State Democrat Committee is very Interested in the outcome of our election; as they feel that It will show a trend of the young people in Virginia. Above all else, the student body is encouraged to come out and vote on election day.

One of the reasons thai Eism hOWOr has made such an i-xcell. nl showing on the Longwood campus is that he is vitally Interested In the youth of today.

Jackie's dual comment is. "I hope that all Longwood girls who are eligible to vote in our national election this November will not only exercise their right to do so, but will take an active part. I am interested to see if our election will indicate the trend of the nation "
One of the highlights of the parade Saturday was the convertible trimmed in red, white, and blue in which our personal images of Ike, Dick, and Mamie rode. There was a large poster depicting the idea that both green and white and red and white classes were in favor of Ike. In the campaign assembly given by the government classes, there was a large ovation given for Ike as Margie Algood and Pat Burdette gave some of the background

Campaign Managers Enlist Party Supporters For ten months now Americans have been observing our biggest and most expensive "show", a presidential campaign. The national Conventions in August and the hectic campaign this fall ha\e helped to build up an intensity of interest in politics which is unequalled to any other time. How should we observe a national election so that it means something In terms of the realities of the American process of government? The election system can mean something only if looked upon as
one of a number of processes through which representative government is made to work. Elections permit us to have some say as to wh'ch leaders aud what political party shall be given governing power. It is our privilege to take part in and learn from this election campaign. The Presidential Mock Election ol Longwood College will be held Thursday. November 1. The po]:> will be opened from 12:30 to 15:00 p.m. and the returns will be announced at dinner.
The voting precincts will be in the same place that the register tables were located. There will be a list of Registered Voters at each clerk's desk. Only registered voters will be allowed to vote.

The Case for the Republicans Tomorrow the students of Longwood College will <;ist their votes for their choice of President of the United States of America. Will they elect the candidate best qualified to guide our country'.' If so, they will elect Dwight D. Eisenhower, who during the last four years has led the count r.\ into a period of peace accompanied by prosperity. According to minority leader, Joe Martin, "the real issues of this campaign are tin- record of the Eisenhower Administration and the promise that record indicates for the next four years." Then, what is the record of the Republican Tarty since 111527 The Kisenhower Administration has brought peace to our country and our hoys home from Korea. For the first time in many years the federal budget has been balanced, and a 1.7 billion dollar surplus was applied to the national debt this year. Not only is this fact significant in itself, but at the same time there has been a ten per cent tax cut. This administration will l>e remembered as the one which re-
stored the soundness of the American dollar. The Democrats place much emphasis on their claim of being the friend of the little man, and they accuse the Republicans of neglecting the lower income groups. Is this criticism justified? Employment has reached its highest peak in the nation's history; wages at an all time high. Millions have benefited from social security adjustments and the era of labor peace; the American farmers will soon reap the rewards of the Republican's long term farm program. The office of vice-president has become an important part of the present administration. President Eisenhower has called Richard N'ixon, "the most useful vice-president in American history." What is the main issue of the campaign? It is this: Can the Democrats oust the administration which has Laid the floor plan for many years of peace and prosperity? The best case for the Republican Party is the case of America from 1952-56. Jackie Harnsberger
The Case for the Democrats The Democrat Party has long been and is today, the party for the people. Pounded over 150 years ago by Thomas Jefferson, it stands for equality and justice for all Americans and favors no particular race or class. Throughout the years the Democrat party has had the interests of the average citi/en, the farmer, the laborer, the white collar worker, in mind and has diligently worked to improve the living standard of the United States. Evidences of this policy are the Wagner Act. federal Aid to Public Housing Programs, the Social Security Act, and Parity for farmers. T. V. A. is a direct re.ult of the concern of the Democrat Party for the citizen as was the plan for Rural Electrification which was urged so strongly by franklin I). Roosevelt. Today we are living in an era of prosperity and progress, however it is also an era of crisis. 'The laborers are crying out for better salaries to meet the ever rising
cost of living. The farmer can scarcely exist on the income which is now his. In many parts of our nation there are people without jobs, and above all else we see with horror a racial crisis of such momentum that we fear for the unity of our nation. These issues are critical, they demand attention. We, the citizens of the United States, must meet these problems, we must find a solution. How are we to find an answer to the issues which face us? We are already on the way. In 1954 we, the citizens, elected a Democrat Congress, this was our first step in the way toward a secure future for our nation. Now we find ourselves facing the election of the next President of the United States. Surely, after considering the record of this party, the platform that it supports, and the candidates which it offers, we as thinking citizens must vote for and elect, Adlai Stevenson, ESstas Kefauver, and the Democrat Party. Nancy Quarles
The Case for States' Rights 'Third parties have long been an internal part of the American political scene. A new political party, the States" Rights
Party, was officially born Monday, October 15, in Richmond, Virginia. It is aimed at putting more conservatism into the two major parties rather than at putting its 1966 presidential candidate into the White House.
for many years a substantial number of people throughout the United states have been in disagreement with the trends i" both of the dominant national parties. 'These people haVS been drifting ill loosely
oi anised groups, but now they havi a chance to combine their thoughts and principles under a leader. for this leader, the states' Righten have chosen T. Coleman Andrewi of Richmond, Virginia, ami as his running mat-, ThomII U erdel of California. In the pivsance of Mr, Andrews' name, manj voters will find opportunitj to express their griev aiices against the political parties that are moving toward centralization of governmental power. 'The States' Rights part] ed their unity of purpose and being of the people through pressive platform. Included
has announcgeneral well a strong, imin this plat
form is the belief that government power should be limited by the people and that all forms of centralized power, be they Socialist, Communist, Eascist or others, be de-
nunciated. It is the party's belief that the heart of American government is Local Self-Govsrnment, and it is the duty of the several slates to protect this right. The party holds that constitutional principles should determine and control all practical measures. The question of taxes has long been in the air. 'The States' Rights party believes that taxation should be for the sole purpoae of securing revenue-for the expense of a constitutionally limited government and the defense of the county. They also believe that in Foreign Policy, the sovereignty of the United State* and the rights of its citizens should never be subordinated through treaty, executive agreement, or alliance to the interests of any foreign nation or to any combination or association of nations. The platform affirms that the National states' Rights movement is the first defense of American Constitutional principles ami is unalterably and forever oppoaed to the major party merger which now confronts us.

Geographic Group Publishes Bulletin: Society To Confer At Richmond YEA The Geographic Section of the Virginia Education Association will meet Friday. November 2. in Richmond. Meredith F. Burnll. from the Department of Interior since 1940, will discuss the subject, "Terminology of Virginia's Geographic Features." "There is no such thing as a fixed vocabulary in a living language, and one need not be surprised at the variety of terms which have grown up in English for designating geographic features." says Charles P. Lane, president of the Virginia Geographical Society Dr. Lane, professor of geography at Longwood. has served as president of the Geographical Society for the past four years. "The Bulletin", the October issue published by the Virginia Geographical Society, has recently been completed, according to Dr. Lane. Over 300 bulletins will be distributed to members of the society. The current issue of "The Bulletin" features the historical geography of Virginia. "It Is hoped that the articles in this issue of 'The Bulletin' dealing with geographical influences 1 n American history will offer suggestions and Ideas for building other units of study for classroom use. If history is to be meaningful, the reographic elements must receive their due emphasis." writes Dr. I..mi' in the president's paragraphs Introducing "The Bulletin " "All historical problems ought to be studied geographically and all geographic problems must be studied historically," adds Dr. Lane. The Virginia Geographic Society publishes two bulletins annually.
When compared with bulletins published in other states, the Virginia bulletins stand out as being much more extensive, including colorful maps to clarify the articles. The present issue features articles written by one present and four former Longwood students who have studied Virginia's geography. The growth of Jamestown as imflurnced by geographical factors is discussed by Barbara Tyer Ward, of Richmond. Another article, "Navigation on the Appomattox and Willis Rivers." was contributed by John M. Austin, a senior from Parmvllle. The article, "Geographical Influences on Fredericksburg—Past and Present," Is contributed by Dale Brothers, of Suffolk Shirley Kemp, of Hampton, discusses the development of Hampton and Newport News.
