Students enter into campaign 484 a tllig alot ln the future f Their decision was final. I Voters turned out at the polls, Nov. 6. For some, it was their first opportunity to affect the path of their future by voting in a national election. fi '?'I'woke up at 5:30 ta.m.l, and then I had to wait in line outside for 20 minutes at tlje' polls. It was great, though, knowing that I was old enough to vote and gagzticipate in the election process, said Debbie Lange, senior. students, however, were not old enough to vote, but they participated in campaign '84 in other ways. I worked so hard campaigning against the changes in the blue law. I was upset that I wasn't old enough to vote it down, said Celena Curenton, senior. Whether they were 18 or not, all stu- dents had a chance to vote in Quill and Scroll's mock election, Oct. 23. Presi- dent Ronald Reagan came out on top with 137 votes to Mondale's 97. In the actual election, Reagan received 525 electoral votes and Mondale received 13. The popular vote was Reagan 43,428,357 and Mondale 36,930,932. Besides determining the President, voters also decided the fate of two state constitutional amendments - the state ,Zi ., .3 . iff, Congressman Young gets publicity, Oct. 24, as Etevin Patterson, senior, puts up a sign endorsing HTL Before entering the auditorium lobby, Nov. 6, voters receive literature on MondalefFerraro C' . . 1-om Khleber Van Zandt, junior, and Carrie Jae- SCF, Sophomore, to inform them about the Democrat's policies. 10 - Elections lottery and parimutuel betting. I'm a strong Democrat and the ma- jority of my party backed the lottery, but I'm against any sort of gambling. Despite the party's views, it's against my religious view and what I believe, said Amanda Patton, junior. For some students, participation in campaign '84 fulfilled requirements in social studies classes. Kevin Patterson, senior, had to work a minumum of 10 hours for credit in his first hour political science class. I worked for Congressman Robert Young. I mostly put out signs and an- swered phones, but I also worked at the polls, said Patterson. l liked help- wlrinumpj 1 9 3-1.'-est 5 5 ,ww . -W-Wi if-5 at at . K ing out Young and getting involved in the campaign. It was great knowing that I had, in some way, helped my candi- date win his position one more time. Young did win the congressional race against lack Buechner, his Repub- lican opponent, despite NBC's projec- tion that Buechner was the probable victor. I worked 15 hours on the Buechner campaign, and when I went to sleep, I thought that he had won. When I woke up and found out that Young had come from behind and won, I was disap- pointed. I felt sorry for the guy IBuechnerJ, said john Tucker, junior. Even though it was not part of a class requirement, Roger Moore, senior, spent 10-15 hours working for Reagan and Buechner. Moore also attended three Republican political rallies. I guess I got so involved because it gave me a chance to utilize my free- dom of choice and try to influence oth- er people even though I'm not old enough to vote, said Moore. X ff i X 1
