At CMOSO Meeting
Arab, Israeli Students Clash
“Speak to Nixon,” an Innovation in Presidential campaigning, sampled student opinion at UM last week.
Students were invited to tape-record questions or comments which will be sent to Washington, D.C, Written replies will be returned to the students.
Jeff Laird, program chairman, said the program is designed to stimulate interest in campaign issues, register the pulse of American thought, and insure Americans that Richard Nixon is
of the American people by the government.
Other interesting questions included: "How does Nixon propose to unite the various factions in the United States today?” What is Richard Nixon’s definition of law and order and does the definition coincide with justice?”
“Speak to Nixon” has visited Cornell, Syracuse, Duke, and Virginia Universities. Of all these schools, Laird said Miami students posed more serious questions and gave fewer wisecracks than other university students.
