KEENE Staff Writer

The 2016 presidential election is in its final phase: the general election. Following the primary cycle, which saw harsh attacks from both sides of the political spectrum, the final two candidates are Hillary Clinton, for- mer Secretary of State, and Donald Trump, real estate tycoon and reality television star. With many voters feeling alienated by their respected parties, and two candidates who are astonishingly unlikable, according to the Huffing- ton Post, some voters feel that a third party is the best option. 55 percent of Doane University students are voting, and of that 12 percent are voting third party. Even with more than two party options, many students are completely absolving from voting this election cycle. Finally, 24 percent are not voting entirely, leav- ing the remaining 21 percent totally undecided. Voting is a vital part of the democratic process, without it democracy can not exist. Dr. Tim Hill, professor of political science, be- lieves voting is a key factor young people should PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY ASPEN GREEN| The Doane Owl consider each election cycle, he said.

SPB is split into various committees,” Christensen said. “Last year, the majority of Homecoming was planned by the Traditions Committee, while everyone else just showed up to events.

A “Blast-Off ” dinner was provided, there were free shirts for 250 students, and a photobooth and various games were available, Christensen said. SPB decided to call the first event of Home- coming “Homecoming Blast Off ” instead of “Homecoming Kick Off ” because this year’s Homecoming theme is “Journey to the Universi- ty”, Frushour said. “Now that we are a university, SPB really wanted to incorporate that huge accomplishment into the homecoming theme,” Christensen said.
