■ STUDENT LIFE Change: the buzzword of the 2008 presidential election. Change was the concept invoked above all others, the word repeated so many times by both candidates that it threatened to become meaningless. Pundits devoted news program after news program to it, arguing for hours about who, if elected, would bring about the most change, as well as what those changes would be. At the UA campus, however, change began long before anyone was elected, even before anyone had voted. Suddenly, students were actually interested in the future of politics. Democrat student organizations such as the Young Democrats recognized this shift in enthusiasm and capitalized on it by hosting presidential debate watch parties and voter registration drives in an effort to, in the words of the Young Democrats Web site, “turn our state and our country blue.” Their success was tremendous. The Young Democrats alone reported registering more than 500 new voters, Democrats and Republicans alike. Young Democrats PresidentTori Adams said she was excited by the fresh activism she saw on both sides. “People kept coming out of the woodworks,” she said.“I’m glad to see that they aren’t leaving it to the political science people anymore.” IF YOU DIDN’T VOTE, U CAN’T COMPLAlft -SHELBY GRAGjF Robbi Jones, a second-year law student, said that although most of his time was spoken for, he devoted as much time as he could to the Young Democrats, due to his belief that “the Democratic Party is one that works for the best America that it can be.” Andrew Roberts’ political passion led him to Congress, where he worked for the Democratic Policy Committee. In 2008, he returned to the UA to complete his degree while serving as President of the Arkansas Students for Barack Obama chapter of the Obama Campaign. Roberts expressed his hope that student interest in government would not end after the presidential election was over. “It is essentially our future that is at stake over the next decade, and I am a firm believer that the greater the involvement of those who are governed is, the more careful and calculated the decisions of those who govern will be,” Roberts said.
