Clinton wins informal student survey

In an informal poll of 100 students on campus, 44 students said they were voting for President Clinton, 25 said they were voting for Bob Dole, three said they liked Ross Perot and 28 were undecided.

In the dying wake of this election, the drama has unfolded. A lot has happened in the last week. The democratic party has been accused of illegal campaign contributions and the 73-year-old Dole vowed to campaign for 96 straight hours last week.

In addition to the climaxing aura in this election, Reform Party leader Ross Perot has gained a couple of points in pre-election polls and is seemingly trying to make President Clinton's life difficult.

According to the L.A. Times, President Clinton will finish up his campaign visiting New Hampshire, Ohio and Kentucky.

Republican candidate Dole, now with 24 hours left on his 96-hour "Non-Stop Victory Tour," has fought feverishly for victory in California and Colorado.

His attacks on Clinton have focused around financial support by taxpayers for illegal immigrants and campaign contributions the Democratic Party has received, the Times said.

Conversely, on the front of Clinton's strategic bullet is the outlining of campaign reform ideas.

According to the Times, Perot's stock is rising and his attacks on President Clinton are also growing stronger.

"Wake up," Perot said. "If I broke my word to you again and again, as (Clinton) has, why in the world would you even consider me as a candidate for county coroner, much less the most important job in the world?"

Perot and Dole both have expressed their discontent with Clinton's alleged intake of illegal campaign contributions.

President Clinton has answered by invoking campaign reform ideas that will be enacted if he is re-elected.

"The President says he's done nothing wrong, I believe him," said psychology major Jose Hernandez. "Who else is there (in the election), really?"

"I think most voters are not really concerned with this side of the election," said economics major Bill Adley. "Clinton has helped our economy."

Perot doesn't agree, according to the Times. "Do you want a commander in chief who will put our armed forces' lives at risk in exchange for $15 million for his presidential campaign?"

All in all, Election '96 has progressed into a heated furnace of drama and debate which will end tonight after the votes are in.
