The day West Virginians choose a new governor is . JUST LIKE lWJ. just a weekend away. But even with Election Day so · 'fOKOONO_OOY ... close, nobody is saying for certain who will win. The decision West Virginians face is tough. Democrat Charlotte Pritt shows enthusiasm for the job. Republican Cecil Underwood has the experience for it. Personality­ wise, the candidates are polar opposites, yet in opinion polls, they have West Virginians evenly divided. Pritt would be a new face in the Governor's Mans.ion, and she is full of new ideas. She seeks affordable / health care for" all, which is vital in a state full of labor­ ers, and even more important to college students who will soon enter the job market. Her program for educa­ tion would emphasize the technological programs .for which the university is at the forefront. And Pritt seeks to create "think tanks" which would involve faculty, stu­ dents and staff in university decisions. · Unfortunately, her campaign has been filled with unre­ alistic goals, most notably her call to phase out the food tax without saying how she would replace the money in the state budget. And Pritt went against her party in 1992 to run against incumbent Gaston Caperton on a third-party ticket. When West Virginians did not support her then, why should they now? · Underwood's constant theme in his campaign has been technology. He would encourage high-tech busi­ nesses to start up in West Virginia, thus creating more jobs. He also would promote the technological programs .on campus, and has given his support to the university's leadership. He retains the name recognition from when he was governor two generations ago.

"We're still rebuilding." This year the 34 entrants will line up at 6 p.m between Marshall Stadium and the soccer field. The parade route will begin at Marshall Stadium and move up 3rd Avenue tu Hal Greer Boulevard, then come down 5th Avenue to 20th Street, circling campus. "Student Senate chose this route hoping to get more student involvement," Moore said. ''The parade used to J go through downtown Huntington, but having the parade near campus increases student participation."
