Politics and voting consumed on inordinate amount of student attention this year, and the ballot box seemed a permanent fixture in the UMC tbetowt.

And yet, the majority of CU students didn't appear to be very concerned with state potitics. Later on in the school year, in March to be exact, many students suddenly decided that they had better become concerned-fost.
