Elections
Turn NT Campus Into Sea of Signs, Posters
It's the night before election and the
campus lies quiet in the gathering dusk. Suddenly it is
eight o' clock and a rush of students descend on the area
of campus in front of the UB. Boys shimmy up trees and
try to hang banners in the most advantageous position.
Girls in Bermuda shorts and toreadors wire posters to
trees and place signs along sidewalks. Soon the peaceful
campus is covered with a thousand billboards shouting
"Vote for me!"
When election time rolls around, candidates
vie for the attention of voters by using new gimmicks
and signs to put a name across to students. North Texans
turn out in heavy numbers in all campus elections. Students
enjoy all the ruckus and vote for the candidates of their
choice.
