‘Choice ’6B ’ Offers Students
Presidential Primary Vote
West Georgia College students
will vote with 5,000,000 other
students across the nation on
April 24 in the first national col
legiate presidential primary,
Choice ’6B. The election, under
written by “Time” magazine, is
the first to give students the op
portunity to air their views on
presidential aspirants, the Viet
nam conflict, and the urban crisis
in the U. S.
“The purpose of Choice ’68,”
states George Edwards, presi
dent of the History-Political Sci
ence Club and chief organizer of
the event, “is to provide the op
portunity for college students to
have a voice in the national gov
ernment. It is true that some of
the voters will be ineligible to
participate in the November elec
tion; however, you can’t ignore
5,000,000 votes.”

tion are participating in Choice
’6B including most of Georgia’s
larger institutions such as the
University of Ga. and Ga. Tech.
