Viewpoint
- Voice opinions in voting booth (Observer Editorial )
On Tuesday, Nov. 7, months of campaigning by Governor George W. Bush, Vice President Al Gore, Ralph Nader and other candidates and interest groups will come to a close. However, recent polls of young voters ages 18-24 predict that months of campaigning will have had little effect on this group. The primary poll conducted by MTV and the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation shows increased apathy with only 50 percent of voters under 25 registered and only 46 percent of those registered planning to vote.

We would like to clarify a few issues raised in the Oct. 3 In Focus article about the Women's Resource Center. ("Women's Resource Center still feels probation's sting") Yes, the WRC was on probation for an incident which occurred several years ago. However, the WRC is not currently on probation; in fact, it has not been since early summer following the 1998-1999 school year. With the support of the Faculty Senate the probation was lifted a year early, and the WRC stands in full compliance with University regulations. The probation does continue to affect the WRC in various ways, one of which is the issue of censorship was discussed in the article. Out of respect for the decision made by the University is 1997, however, the WRC abstains from comment on these issues pertaining to freedom of speech. Anyone interested in the full story of the 1997 probation hearing is welcome to come to the Center to read an official incident summary for further clarifications.
