Today's college student differs greatly from the student of the fifties. The student of those bygone days was running from the war, depression, and a whole array of personal and world problems. However, the student of the 1960's appears to be a new breed; he has begun to answer the challenges facing him. His voice and opinions have been heard and have become a force in society; they have produced a noticeable effect on the American people. On April 24, the voices of thousands of students will be heard again as the results of the nation's first National Collegiate Presidential Primary are tabulated. These results will influence the nation's thinking and the national candidates. Choice '68, as the program is called, was inspired by students, is financed by "Time" magazine, and will be conducted by students on 1500 college campuses across the country. In this area, Longwood and Hampden-Sydney will be participating. Campus coordinators, Mary Masse and Marcia Mitchell, Y-D and Y-R chairmen respectively, are making final arrangements for the primary at Longwood. They urge each student to study the ballot, to carefully consider her choice, and to vote in this primary on April 24. All information and results will have national coverage by "Time" and will be available to all media, both local and national.
