More than 800 Vanderbilt employees and friends of the university enjoyed old-fashioned politicking under beautiful blue skies and sunshine during the Sept. 25 Meet the Candidates picnic on Olin Lawn. Those in attendance consumed more than 2,000 hot dogs, 750 ice cream sandwiches and a thousand cans of soda while listening to the 30 candidates or their representatives make their case for election on Nov. 4. Live Dixieland jazz added to the festive atmosphere.
