Over the summer, it was announced that President Thomforde would be retiring in the spring of 2013. I sat down with him one rainy afternoon to discuss his last year as president, his experiences at Moravian, and his prospects “To be a good president you for the future. must really love the place...” To be a good president you must really love the place, Thomforde told me at one point during my talk to him, in a matter of fact way. Indeed, it was his love for Moravian College that drew him here in the fall of 2006. He was first attracted by Moravian’ s rich heritage – specifically the way Moravian in the past and present Street, he gets to enjoy the atmosphere as well as the decorations put up “provide service to the periphery of society”. In the past, Moravian for Christmas. accepted women when few others did, and currently strives for But his most treasured memories here at Moravian are during diversity in the student body – no doubt an admirable quality. graduation, where he has the distinct “privilege of shaking the hands of Additionally, the mission of the college also resonated with him.

He also plans on plays, and student exhibits.

Page 2 October 2012 opinion Page 3 Opinion photo courtesy of inthecapital.com Rock the Vote! by: Nolan Warner Reporter What exactly determines voter turnout has long been a matter of study and debate for political scientists and there are numerous theories as to why turnout has steadily declined over the last several decades, both in the U.S. and in other established democracies. But while voter turnout is a problem in all age groups, it is the youth voice that is heard the least at the polls. Democracy, it would seem, is sadly undervalued by today’s college-aged youth. More specifically, voting, a right for which many access to information than any before it, with tools such as the internet in the world are still fighting and dying, is often neglected by citizens available to answer the questions of an inquisitive mind. It’s practically between the ages of 18-24, more so than any other age group. With the impossible to spend a day or two during campaign season without complexity and importance of the issues at stake in 2012’s presidential seeing at least one ad, sign, bumper sticker or Facebook post without a photo courtesy of newsfeed.time.com election, ignorance and indifference among the ranks of the millennial political message. Furthermore, the two approaches being presented to generation is a major problem. the American people are radically different, both in their economic and There is no shortage of excuses made by those who don’t vote. social merits. That said, there’s no good reason not to know what’s going Among them are “I don’t really know the difference between the on. Whether it is easily seen or not, the political issues in play today candidates,” and “My vote doesn’t matter.” Neither of these are good have a profound impact on the life of every American. From student reasons not to get out on Election Day. Yet, there are plenty of smart, loans to women’s rights, every policy debated on today’s political stage, competent young people who make one of those claims or some other both economic and social, will affect millions of Americans. Everybody equally unreasonable excuse. This generation has access to more has something at stake. To deprive oneself of the knowledge with which information than any before it and will inherit the economy and social they can vote for their interests is to deprive oneself one of democracy’s atmosphere determined largely by the upcoming election. As such, it’s greatest merits: self-determination. both shocking and saddening that only 49% of Americans between 18- In Syria and other struggling countries around the world, people 24 showed up to vote in the 2008 presidential election. are still fighting for their right to have a say in the destiny of their nation. Perhaps the most destructive notion believed by many of today’s For American youth to ignore that right when they mustn’t even sacrifice young potential voters is that their vote does not matter. While it is anything for it, save for a bit of their time, is a shame. If one truly supports true that no election is determined by just one vote, the mentality that democracy, and truly appreciates freedom, then he or she must vote. one’s vote “doesn’t matter” serves only to falsely trivialize the value of To enjoy the advantages of the democratic system while refusing to an individual’s vote. It is often said that “your vote is your voice,” and it’s participate in its most fundamental foundation is inexcusable. true - the more people vote, the better the system works, and the more Fortunately, the low turnout of youth voters in America is as people’s interests are considered. If everybody harbored a negative view fixable as it is unacceptable. By discussing the issues over a cup of coffee, about the impact of their vote, democracy would die. Voting, then, is an tuning into the presidential debates coming in October, registering to important means by which every American can act as a vanguard of the vote, and showing up on Election Day, young Americans can support photo courtesy of rawstory.com democratic process, while simultaneously having their say in things. democracy and be a part of history. That’s a beautiful ability and all that How one can be unaware of the differences between the two one needs to do to vote is a little bit of free time and an opinion. Both are main candidates in this election is a mystery. This generation has more worth it when it comes to the fate of the nation.
