wo t em in any venture that will make theirs a better Beta Club."

Vicki's campaign for Secretary, beginning with registration yesterday morning, continues to attract supporters from Beta Clubs throughout Louisiana and from the sound of the clicking crickets that remind Betas to "Click with Vick," the campaign continues to grow.

"I'm deeply appreciative for the support and encouragement that I have been getting from Betas from throughout our state," Vicki stated, "and I want them to know that I will never forget the work they are doing, the effort they are exerting and the campaigning they are doing in my behalf."

She concluded, "It's a marvelous experience meeting so

A lot of people believe that almost everyone in the beautiful Cajun Country of Acadiana speaks French or at least can get along with French pretty well. But that is not true.

It certainly wasn't true for Vicki Reggie, candidate for State Secretary of Beta. The young lady from Notre Dame High in Crowley knew nothing about French until her Freshman year when she took French I. That year she made the highest grade in her class, even competing with many who speak French at home (The only average Vicki has ever made is a perfect A).

Then she went to the Choate School in Wallingford, Conn., President John F. Kennedy's alma mater, torl, special course in French dur-Eg the Summer Session which is coeducational.

Vicki pointed out that "today there is such a blanket indictment against everyone under 25 years old, because some small percentage of young people do things that aren't right or really American, but Thank God there are people like Betas who form a core of intelligent and thinking young Americans who will be the basis for tomorrow's problem solving."

"I wish those who say that all of

youth today is smoking pot, wasting a lifetime on LSD and burning the American flag would be here at this convention," she added, "so they can learn once and for all that we have a healthy, red-blooded Americar youth that thinks very seriously about the future of this country and about the other people of the world and who are willing and

She rated the highest honor grade in the school and returned to Notre Dame for more French.

Today, Vicki is fluent in French. She mastered the foreign language just as she has mastered every undertaking. She has earned a record that is seldom seen for outstanding excellence.

That is why her Beta Club so overwhelmingly endorsed Vicki for Secretary. They know the kind of quality Beta of Louisiana deserves and they know that she has the ability to give that kind of quality.

That is why so many are asking delegates from everywhere in Louisiana to be sure to "Click with Vick" and elect Vicki Reggie Beta Secretary today. Merci.

That slogan has been seen and heard a great deal 'at the Beta State Convention that got underway yesterday and which will wind up with election of officers today.

From the moment members of Beta signed in at the registration desk the electric feeling of excitement was in the air and the political fever began to pitch quickly and the sound of the clicking crickets that reminded Betas of the candidacy of Vicki Reggie for Secretary helped pick up the tempo that much more.

Last night Betas from throughout Louisiana met in informal gab sessions and invariably the subject turned to politics and who would be elected to every office, from President on down.

One name that continues to stand out front is Vicki Reggie, who has used a clever and enthusiastic campaign urging members of Beta to "Click with Vick."

Elections today were predicted

Excellence and teamwork are the hallmarks of Vicki Reggie, candidate for State Secretary of Beta. Her record proves it clearly.

Vicki has maintained a perfect 4.0 average for the 11 years she has been in school and, at the same time has participated in a full program of extra curricular activities in which she has taken

to show the largest number of votes ever at any Beta convention, based on record breaking convention enrollment. Some candidates talked up large school delegations, some time to mention the smallness of their school. Vicki Reggie made clear she was asking for the votes of Betas from all schools of all sizes

She added, "However, I pledge to do more than be a Secretary in the usual sense. I pledge to be a working State officer always subject to call for installations, new Charter ceremonies and other special events whenever I am called upon by any Beta Club in Louisiana, and it's this service to other Betas that I hope will justify the vote and trust I ask Betas here in this convention to place in me."

The interview had to end quickly, because Vicki wasn't taking anything for granted. She wanted to see.as many Betas as possible to ask for their vote and support in today's big election for Secretary.
