I. With the upcoming Senatorial election looming near, students have been encour- aged by faculty, campus speakers and their peers to participate in voting. The sub- " s~antial turnout Tuesday in Cro to hear Ned Lamont speak, coupled with the enthusi- . ,i3-;smofgroups like CCDems and The College Hepubllcans, displays that political ,awareness at Conn-while perhaps not quite at a fever pitch-is certainly apparent. It is nothing new to hear the comparison between relatively low percentages of young citizens eligible to vote in the United States, and those that actually turn out when the . ,Polls open. What do these numbers mean? Are young registered voters.apathetic? Ignorant? Perhaps a widespread frustration generated by the current administration is to blame for these numbers. Whatever the reason, a decision not to participate on Ii November 7-and in any election on any scale-immediately nullifies one's voice in 'the issues at hand. <'Whether it's a question of who you want on the Judiciary Board, or who you would like to see take the Senate in Washington DC, voice matters. Students and young adults nationwide are constantly encouraged to voice their opinion on political issues-that this message is imbedded in everywhere in our culture is not a revolu- tionary claim. At Conn, it's heartening to see proactive efforts from all factions of the campus community in stimulating an awareness of important events taking place in Exp ICence Connecticut and the nation. The best-and easiest-way to rouse political awareness cult Fe n in any environment is to provide potential voters with ample information, options and e«: ideas. Even if you don't think yourself politically-savvy, having that information present ith u e tin gives you the chance to decide upon matters for yourself. 'ri AI. • :A.

"I've always found negative campaigning counterintuitive. It does not tell you a lot about a candidate. These candidates should try to come off as the way they are and as someone you might want to vote for rather than expressing the fault of the oppos- ing candidate. So when I start getting a lot messages on my voicemail about the cam- paign, it's irritating. The negative attitude is not the way you want to start off YOUf day."
Logan Zemetres '10 Southem,NH Undecided
"I think that politicians need to concentrate on their own issues rather than bash- ing other candidates. A candidate must present his/her own platform and look at both the positives and negatives. Instead, in the recent campaigning, the statistics have been twisted in order to attack opposing candidates. Negative campaigning does not tell you what a person stands for, and is not enough information to vote on. When a politician's message is "vote for me because I am not as bad as the other candidate," the candidate never really proves a point."
