seb eeee CN ey ay te err ee Attitudes About Presidential Election Range From Apathy to Passion by Betty Dishman | WCnewsmagazine Attitudes about the 2004 presidential race among Western Carolina University students range from apathy to passion passionately pro-Bush or anyone but Bush. Brad Clements, a junior majoring in communication, says hes passionate about the race and plans to vote for President Bush. I just like Bush a lot. | think hes the first president who's had balls in a long time, Clements said. Another communication major, senior Kat Kestler, also plans to vote for Bush. She says her brother is in the Army and it terrifies me to have anyone but Bush as commander-in-chief. | just agree with Bush on everything, Kestler said. On the other side, Chavis Gash says hes planning to vote for presumed Democratic nominee John Kerry, even though hes not that intrigued with the Massachusetts senator. Gash, who is also a communication major, doesnt like Kerry's tax plan because he believes it punishes people for making money. However, he wants to see Kerry get in the White House because Democrats tend to be involved with average people. Republicans run the country, but they are not really involved with people, Gash said. Democrats are more for the regular, blue-collar people. Some students are nervous about the election. Senior computer science major Daniel Huss says the country needs a new president because Bush has caused a lot of problems for the U.S., such as war and recession, and he took a balanced budget and gave tax cuts to his rich buddies. Huss says hes not yet registered to vote, but plans to register as soon as he graduates. m amazed by how the country wanted to impeach Clinton for getting oral sex in the White House and then lying about it; yet, no one even thinks about doing anything to Bush for sending many, many of our best men and women to their deaths, just so he and his oil buddies could be a little richer, Huss said. It takes a very naive person to think that the war was about these weapons of mass destruction, like everyone would have you believe, and not about oil. Huss adds that his one vote will make a difference and that hes voting against Bush, not because hes a Democrat, but because hes just anti-Bush. Graduate student and English major Erin Casey says shes not passionate about the race. Caseys lack of excitement is not because she doesnt care she just doesnt believe things will get any better. Registered as a Democrat so she can vote in the primary, Casey says her political beliefs are actually more closely aligned with the Libertarian party. Libertarians dont have a presidential candidate this year, so Casey says, I cant even vote for who | want. | like a lot of things about Nader, (the independent candidate), but he doesnt have a prayer. When it comes down to the actual election, Casey says she'll vote for Kerry because she doesnt like President Bush. Shes disgusted with Bush because hes gotten the country into a war in Iraq, has weakened environmental regulations and has never come through on abortion. Casey believes Bushs interests can be summed up in one word oil. Its not hard to figure out where he stands, Casey said. Some students like Jeremy Keller dont believe their one vote will make a difference. Keller, a junior communication major, says he has absolutely no interest in the race and believes the Electoral College process is not explained well, especially to young people. Although registered, Keller says he doubts hell ever vote. The long controversy over which candidate won Florida in the 2000 presidential race has contributed to his attitude, Keller says. He also doesnt believe theres a candidate who targets the under-30 crowd. No one appeals to this generation, Keller said. Theatre major Garrick Ortman says he isnt that interested one way or the other. Ortman, a freshman, says he is registered to vote, but not sure if he will because he doesnt know enough to make an informed choice. College Republicans Past President Dustin Elliott says he sees those students who are polarized either they like Bush or they dont. Elliott, who is also administrative vice chair of the state College Republicans organization, says theres somewhat of a statewide problem with student apathy. A lot of people just dont care, because they dont think it affects them, but when they see how the issues affect them, and then they start to get interested, Elliott said. Although he believes theres always going to be apathy, WCU College Democrats Past President B.J. Pendry says he is seeing some excitement among WCU students. Pendry, who is majoring in both political science and history, says most college students dont have a lot of time to devote to keeping up with the election, but they do sometimes catch a political newscast and start talking about it. Pendry said the College Democrats has made an effort to get students registered to vote, and theyve debated the College Republicans. Pendry agrees that the problems with Florida in the 2000 election have impacted young peoples views of the political process. He says the country needs a president who will talk to college students. Pendry says President Bush has frozen Pell Grants and done away with many other educational grants, all of which affects todays young people. Both Pendry and Elliott go on to say that, overall, they think todays college students are more conservative than their parents generation. Elliott says hes not sure why. Pendry thinks many WCU students are more conservative because they tend to come from rural areas where theres a lot of government leave me alone types. Some of the most recent national college polls may show a slightly different story, Elliott says, because Bush is trailing Kerry by about 10 points. That's not that much, though, Elliott says. He adds that professors seem to be much more liberal these days, noting that all but one political science professor at WCU is a registered Democrat. : : Kerry Picks NC Senator for VP Slot The much anticipated decision has fi- nally been made: John Kerry announced on July 6 his pick of John Edwards as his Vice President. John Edwards-D is a North Carolina Senator. He was born in South Carolina, but raised in the small town of Robbins, NC in the southeastern part of the state. He was the son of a mill worker in Robbins, and grew up ina lower to middle class setting. He was educated in the NC univer- sity system, as he obtained his undergradu- ate degree at North Carolina State University, and earned a law degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After serving one term in the Senate, Edwards announced his run for presidency. On July 6, 2004, presidential hopeful John Kerry announced that he had chosen John Edwards as his Vice President.
