frequently They all also agree that they are very disappointed In Campaign 73 for what they have seen of It Cindy cotter Leslie Jewell Sue Peer Chris Green Cameron Robinson Mike are all nevertheless shaping future opinions about what elections and campaigns are all about If you cant find anyone who believes in treating others with respect whats the sense of voting for anyone concluded Leslie Jewell after the groups brief encounter with politics The seven students decided to get on insight Into what these campaigns they have heard so much about are really like They read the platforms and backgrounds of each of the three local can didates Then they attended the All Candidates Night held last week by the Georgetown and then followed that by seeing arid hearing both Premier Davis and Liberal leader Nixon as they made their flying visits to the area over the weekend Nobody seemed to want to talk the issues commented Chris Green They were all calling each other and the other parties names It was really childish if you ask Perhaps what proved to be their bitterest pill came when they attempted to approach one of the leaders to ask him why he wasnt talking about the issues instead of per sonalities Managing to Inch their way through the Jostling crowed of wellwishers and hand shakers the students finally managed to confront him with their question Ho an swered that he didnt start It recalled Leslie When we asked him whether that made It right somebody with him shoved us out of the way and told us Why dont you children get out of the way Upset to the point that they had to talk to someone to air their beefs about their han dling they visited The Herald office where they agreed that their brief encounter with election was far from what they expected If we hod looked like we were 13 we probably could have got decent answer But It was a rotten way for anyone to treat anyone else added Leslie CunUudcd Sue Peer- Youd think they would know you can get a lot further If
