Choice 68
Begins
The nation's students have de-termined
the final ballot and
referendum issues of their first
nationwide collegiate presi-dential
primary, called CHOICE
68.
Meeting In Washington, D.C.
from February 10-13, the pro-gram's
student directors select-ed
a slate of fourteen candidates
for the presidency. They are:
Fred Halstead, Mark Hatfield,
Lyndon Johnson, Robert Kennedy,
Martin Luther King, John Lind-say,
Eugene McCarthy, Richard
Nixon, Charles Percy, George
Romney, Ronald Reagan, Nelson
Rockefeller, Harold Stassen, and
George Wallace.
The students also decided that
three referendum questions be
included on the ballot. Two deal
with the country's current In-volvement
in Viet Nam, and one
with the priorities of govern-ment
spending in confronting the
"urban crisis." Mr. Richard
Scammon, Director of the Elec-tions
Research Center, and Dr.
Howard Penniman of the Politi-cal
Science Department at
Georgetown University assisted
the Board in their efforts to en-sure
that the various questions
were properly phrased towards
achieving maximum clarity.
In addition, the Board resolved
several administrative ques-tions,
such as voter qualifica-tion.
It was decided that any
student currently enrolled in an
American college or university
will be eligible to vote in the
CHOICE 68 election. This in-,
eludes graduate, part-time, and
foreign students, as well as those
studying abroad in American
branch universities.
The Board announced their de-cisions
at a national news con-ference
held on February 13
which was covered extensively
by the major television networks
and press wire services.
C. U.B. Presents
The Dirty Birdies
The Dirty Birdies, one of the
newest and grooviest groups to
h^pen, will give a two hour
concert in Roosevelt Theater on
March 21, at eight o'clock. The
Dirty Birdies have performed
in Greenwich Village, the Gas-light
Cafe, the Bitter End, and
the Village Barn. They have also
performed at N.Y.U. and Mont-clair
State College. The Dirty
Birdies are a jug band, they play
the washboard, the jug, a comb,
a washtub plus other equally
weird instruments. Having per-
TOnally seen them play, I can
vouch for their excellence. Just
a few weeks ago, they won Ttie
Big Break Contest on WABC,
which enabled them to receive
a recording contract with Colum-bia
records.
Regrettably only Four Hundred
tickets will be available for the
concert, so to insure a seat, be
sure to buy your tickets soon.
Look for further notices as to
when and where tickets will be
on sale In WHAT'S NEW.

There's Another Side Says
Farmingdale Comm.
by Jim Nabach
The anti-Vietnam image which has struck many
as typical of American college students was re-cently
countered by Farmingdale Student Committee
in Defense of Vietnam.
The unjust image, which this
group feels has become the sym-bol
for many older people of the
American teenager, was the main
reason for the founding of the
Committee,
Ralph Richter, president of the
Committee stated, "We are bas-
Icly average students proud of our
country' and the action it has
taken." He stressed that too often
only the illegal or sensational ac-tivities
are publicized.
Another member stated their
purpose, "To make everyone a -
ware that there is another point
of view; another side to the story.
We want everyone to be conscious
of the issues. There are many
points about the U.S. involvement
in Vietnam that are hidd^ by an
opposing minotity."
Mr, Fanning, the group's ad-visor,
told us that he finds it-disturbing
that all references
to students are negative. He
stated a belief that the war in
Vietnam is the ' 'most moral war
the United States has ever en-gaged
in," His opinion, however,
is one which he presents to stu-dents
but does not force upon
them.
The group's most recent a-chievement
was the distributiori
of literature on Vietnam and the
presentation of a petition in sup-port
of Vietnam. This petition
is now in the hands of the Presi-dent
of the United States.
"Conservatism in America^^

Air Force veteran. Now retired as an o f f i c e r in the
Air Force Reserve, he has logged over 9,000 hours
of flying time in jet and conventional aircraft.
Barry Goldwater began his political career in
1949 when he was elected to the City Council of
Phoenix on a *'reform" ticket. In 1952, he launched
a hard-driving campaign to defeat the Democratic
Senatorial incumbent, then majority leader of the
U.S. Senate. In a startling upset, Barry Goldwater

widely read men.in America as the author of three
b e s t - s e l l i n g books, the latest of which i s *'Where

100 newspapers from coast to coast.
Barry Goldwater is a leader of courage and in-tegrity,
who takes a back seat to no man in his dedi-cationxto
this country's ideals and destiny.
Mr. uoldwater speaks his mind, calls the shots
£is he s e e s them, i s unafraid of any challenge. Yet,
his great attractiveness is his humanity, inspiring
enduring loyalty in his ardent followers.
