The 1984 presidential election was a campaign of many ttfirstsf a mixture of the old and the new, a battle between the established and the emerging characteristics of the nation. Jesse Jackson gained the support of many students as an exciting candidate. As the first black candidate who had a chance at the presidency, Jackson came to represent, with his rainbow coalition, the idea that concern for humanity could overrule racial considerations and factionalism. Geraldine Ferraro emerged as the heroine of the Democratic party: the possibility that a woman could be president was taken from the theoretical to the actual and Ms. Ferraro was particularly popular on campus. ttMondale? Who needs him? Let Gerry run for president! The general concensus on campus, with a few notable exceptions, was that four more years of Reagan would be intolerable. Students rallied behind Mondale and Ferraro. Many spent the summer and fall registering voters to help gain democratic votes. Obies for Democratic Action was organized and tension was evident in the weeks before the election. A familiar sight was a T- shirt with the words uNo MoTRon.H On the nights of the presidential and vice-presidential debates, dorm lounges were crowded and Mudd A Level was packed with students who had gathered to watch the candidates spar. It seemed clear to many at the end of the debates that Reagan and Bush were even less qualified to hold their positions than had been previously supposed. The night of the election was met with fear and anticipation. Students watched and listened with ever growing disbelief as the results were tabulated. There was a certain sense of the inevitable finally occurring. The day after the election, supporters of the candidates had little to say about politics, merely expressing their bewilderment to each other. The excitement generated by the election evaporated and was replaced by a certain resignation to four more years of Ronald Reagan. 17
