              Politician Nixon Rallies "Silent Millions
55

Hurrlun*
The college students who come out to rallies for Richard Nixon, like those who work for Senator McCarthy, wear jackets and ties, cut their hair and shave regularly and smile a good deal. But for them, this involves no sacrifice .They were always like that and probably always will be.
When Nixon speaks in or near college towns, he draws large crowds of students. Even in a city like Madison, home of the “radical” University of Wisconsin, his audience was largely made of students or student-aged young people.
But they are quite different from their more publicized Democratic counter-parts.
The boys look like crew-cut 4-H Club alumni or football players, while the girls have the girl-next-door-cheerleader look. They are characterized in the current campus lexicon as the “straights.” One newsman, looking out on one such multitude, turned to another and whispered. “My God, they’ve finally mobilized: ‘straight’ power.”
Like their parents, they represent an electorally dispossed section of American society: middle-western, middle-class, basically conservative and Protestant. They make up a large part of the “silent millions” which Goldwater strategists knew existed in 1964 but were unable to mobilize.
In this campaign, however, they turn out in large numbers to see and hear a Presidential candidate with
whom they can identify completely. Nixon is one of them. And they know it. They see themselves mirrored in his eyes when they shake his hand.
By the same token, Nixon knows that they are his people. He sees in the crowd faces that might have been his parents, his friends, or even himself. He feels their enthusiasm even before he speaks and is charged with it. On such occasions, he often says to upwards of 1500 people that he will stay as long as necessary to meet everyone who wishes to speak to him.
In spite of the warmth and depth of response
Nixon calls forth in Wisconsin, it is strange to

UM President Henry King Stanford announced Saturday that head football coach Charlie Tate would assume the dual responsibilities of coach and Athletic Director, effective June 1.
Tate will replace Andy Gustafson, who will retire after 38 years as coach and Athletic Director at Pitt and Miami. Gustafson's record in 21 years at Miami (17 as head coach) was 93-65-3 and 115-78-4 at Pitt.
Gustafson also coached four Hurricane squads into bowl games, and moved up when Tate took over the grid duties in 1964.
Tate’s record since ’64 is 24-15, with a victory in the 1966 Liberty Bowl over VPI and a loss to Colorado in the ’67 Bluebonnet Bowl.
In addition, Tate’s Hurricanes upset six of the top ranked teams in the nation the past two seasons, including USC, Georgia and Florida (all in 1966).
Dr. Stanford also created a
new position — Assistant Athletic Director — and named present linebacker coach LeRoy Pearce to that job.
USG Investigates Code Discoli leni
Legislation to Investigate and revise the present UM Honor Code was introduced yesterday before the USG Council by Freshman Representative Bruce O’Boyle.
O’Boyle, who is seeking a seat as Sophomore Representative, urged that an investigating committee, consisting of seven students and two faculty-administrative members, delve into the “absence of the truth and integrity requested by the present Honor Code.”
In a recent questionnaire circulated by O’Boyle, the Honor Code was derided as “farcical" and failing in its | purpose to create a “framework of behavior which insures an orderly atmosphere on campus.”

YESTERDAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 3:30 in the afternoon, four workmen were repairing the radar-ball atop the Library. One of the workmen, as of yet unidentified, was loosening a screw, when the ball toppled to the pavement below, a drop of 11 stories. It was theorized by staff architects that the loosening of the bolt produced unequal stresses that caused a weakening of the structure
of the ball, and the vibrations of the workman’s screw-driver, as he removed it from the screw, caused It to come loose from its moorings. The total result of the faulty planning was that the ball fell to the pavement. No injuries were recorded, although Dr. Flipse in the student health center was reported badly shaken by the possibility.
