| How involved are students in the presidential campaign? | |
 |
|
| "I don't think we are disinterested. I
really think it is hard for students to gain a lot of insight into the
election when we have so many things going on with school. It is also
really hard for us to vote when we aren't registered in this area. We need
to be better informed of how to go about such things."
—Emily O'Brion, junior |

|
| "I do think people our age seem less
interested in what goes on in the political world. There are so many
things to do already, not everyone has the time or desire to worry about
what's happening outside of school and work."
—Taunee Sellers, senior |

|
 |
|
| "I agree people our age are disinterested
because until we get out into the real world and the election affects us,
no one will care."
—Andy Pollock, freshman |

|
| "I think the media is right with a
stereotype of youth not caring about the political process. I think people
of America don't understand the government or don't care to hear the
sugar-coated speeches of the candidates. I think if the youth was educated
more and the candidates were straightforward to the youth, more of the
American youth would get involved."
—Jon Rasler, sophomore |

| "Yes, there are a lot of disinterested
people our age, but these people need to realize that you cannot complain
if you are not involved. There are many issues that affect us all, even if
we aren't in the 'real world.'"
—Bradon Lantzky, sophomore |
