t we rw Jock Kemp gm Robert Dole gm Mlchoel DUKOHS CDD About S10 million came from the 11 ma- jor candidates. Businesses, especially ho- tels and restaurants, did extremely well. Faculty members, and many Drake students were also actively involved with the political process. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, WHO, and ESPN were all in need of extra runners and Drake students found ample opportunity to get in- volved. Robert Woodward, professor of journalism said, The caucus process gives students an oppurtunity to work at the grass-roots level. It also gives them an opportunity to see and hear the candi- dates. Finally, it gives students the op- portunity to work in campaigns. Woodward said he also feels students are really interested the candidates in person. They like to meet the candi- dates with well-known names. l think that Drake students are drawn to the caucuses out of genuine curiosity, said Woodward. Student Body Pesident, Dave Cun- ningham, agreed with Woodward. The students were interested in the attention Jesse Jockson CD3 . ' - .g5ee sg. 'SSW vfswwsr .W .,,.,. ,,g ,.,. .irq .

Drake students, though not apathetic, were not extensivly involved with the political process. The reason students aren't as active politically is because there isn't a galvanizing cause, said Cunningham. Back in the 60's Vietnam gave students a reason to be active be- cause they were directly involved. Stu- dents aren't directly affected by deficits, farming, or even the Bork hearings. Similarly, the parties also have to galva- nize themselves. Cunningham believes many students benefited from their involvement in the caucus process. Students learned the process and mechanics of politics, said Cunningham. It also laid the ground work for future jobs as elected officials and administrators.
