Politics

Public opinion polls, Students, Presidential elections, McCarthy, Eugene, Nixon, Richard M., Susquehanna University.

President Lyndon Johnson announced that he would not seek re-election in 1968 and in April of that same year a poll, sponsored by Time Magazine, was taken among college campuses to determine the most popular presidential candidates and the national issues students considered most pressing. Among Susquehanna students, Senator Eugene McCarthy was the most popular choice for president and the most pressing national issues were the suspension of bombing in Vietnam and government spending on education.

Vietnam

Simmons, Edwin, Vietnam War, Speakers, Seibert Hall, Susquehanna University.

The United States' involvement in the Vietnam War began in the early 1960s and reached a high level by 1968. Many Americans disagreed with the country's role in the war. In the spring of 1968, General Edwin Simmons of the USMC, who had previously served in World War II and Korea, presented a program in Seibert Hall, on the U.S. military's role in Vietnam. Notice the plug for the light-hearted comic opera "Pirates of Penzance" sharing the page with this most serious topic.
