The predicted
From all sides of the politi
cal spectrum, diverse opin
ions are being voiced.
Because there is no great I
enthusaism for either political
party by the younger genera- j
tion. opinions were sought
from an abstract rather than
from ;i philosophical view I
point.
These questions were |
posed: “What is your reaction
to the nominees for Republican j
President and Vice-President?
Who do you plan to support in
the general election?”
Kelley Lindsley. a senior in
marketing from Gainesville,
Ga.. says, “It’s the best they
could do as far as Nixon is I
concerned. Nixon is an indi
vidualist and uncommitted in i
many fields. Agnew is not as |
conservative as Reagan nor as ,
liberal as Rockefeller. I’ll vote I
for Nixon. ”
A graduate student in educa

says, "I was disappointed in
the platform. It was much
more conservative than I
thought. I'm really undecided as
to how I’ll cast my vote "
Ensign James Coker of Lit

Jackson said. "There is no
more fitting a theme for this
time than Law & O r der.’’ He
said his opponent. Herman
Talmadge. refused to debate
the topic because of fear or
prejudice* and because he said
he would never debate* against a
Negro
Jackson discussed the dif
ference between “crimes
against society and
crimes.” He said, "the criminal j
nature of a minor, for exam-
pie. is created by surround

In analyzing the problems of

His "pilot project" would
consist of four major offices
to investigate citizens com
plaints against law officers. A
second program provides for
educating policemen in dealing
with citizens, especially minor

“When Talmadge uses the
words law and order’ he is
misusing the English lan
guage. said Jackson He con
tinued by pointing out that Tal

“primary law offenders "
“The King of Hams." refer
ring to the junior Senator,
“went on television defying all
law and order in his positions
against integration while he
was Governor," said Jackson
"Law with justice, law with
humanity, and law with human
justice does create civil or
der." Jackson added
"I’m not running as a Negro
but I’m running as a Georgian
and a citizen of this country.”
The essence of law and order
lies in faith, said the Atlanta
attorney.
After the speech, he enter
tained a few questions from
the floor In answer to a ques
tion on Viet Nam and Foreign
Affairs, he said. “We should

In conclusion, he made ref

anti the* fact that he believed the
Senator had failed the state by
not casting a vote on five ma
