“Yeah, a little because it’s going to affect everybody next year. As far as what happens, it’s going to involve all the people who vote, so they should make an educated choice and vote. And when they vote they should be sure it’s going to be someone who is going to do a good job. … We need to make sure the new president represents the students’ well being.”

“Not really. I’m not really interested and I’ve never followed stuff like that. I just read what’s in the paper; it’s something to do when you’re bored. I don’t really get into it.”

“Sometimes. It’s very informational and keeps you up-to-date with student government, political topics and what’s going on with school.
“Some especially important topics are women’s and minority issues and funding. I like talking about anything that has to do with money.
“Next year I hope the things with Catt Hall get taken care of. A lot of people running say they will promote more programs and I hope they do, to improve our school.”

“Well, I’m paying attention to it, but I’m also running for an engineering senate seat. I’ve paid attention to GSB from the beginning, and I know some of the people running.
“You look at some of the things that went down this year like Big 8 and BSA funding, and those things are important.”

“No, not really. No particular reason, I guess I’m not really interested.”

“No, I don’t have time. I just don’t know much about it. It’s not well publicized — I could care less about all the candidates running … who they are and what they promote.
“I think candidates should be outside in front of the library in between classes telling what they promote.”
