It also could mean Clinton can expect continued attacks on some of his key education programs, including the AmeriCorps national service program and direct lending.

"We could expect Republicans to be coming in with own proposals," he said. "In one sense, college students are in an advantageous position. Parties will be vying to see who will do things for them." In exit polls, young voters surveyed said Clinton is more in touch with the 1990s and has a better vision for the future. 1 "I like their plan for education," said 1 Ann Ruane, a political science major at 1 DePaul. "The one thing that will lead i this country is education." She also supports Clinton's position on abortion rights and welfare reform. "Tm happy," she said. "I think Dole is a very nice man-he's one of the better Republican candidates-I just don't think he's what we need right now." Lisa Sciarretta, a sophomore * i- iZ 1 J Ll : i. T^Tl 1 uiieiiiauuiuu iiiarKeuiig major ai ueraui, said the president could better relate to the issues that concern college students. "You're looking at a man who grew up in the '60s.

"I just had a little more trust in him because he has more interest in his own daughter's future." According to Sciarretta, the sharp attacks on Clinton's character-a key strategy used by Dole as election day neared-would not be quickly forgotten. "I'm hoping he'll try to do something better about his reputation," she said. "I hope, just because he's won, he won't put his feet up, and put his pen down and say 1 can kick back, Fm home free.'" Jessica Corcoran said she voted for Dole because the president lacks integrity. Corcoran, a communications major, describes herself as more conservative than liberal. She's disappointed that Dole was defeated "If you can't trust your president, who can you trust?" she said. "Oh well, another four years. There's not much you can do about it." Jeremy Wenger, a senior psychology major, said his vote for Clinton was a i last-minute decision. "I was going to vote 1 for a nobody, but I realized I didn't know i where they stood on things. I didn't want to f? up the country anymore than it is," he said. ( Although he's pleased Clinton won, 1 he added, "four more years of Hillary. 1 That's bad.

Historically, i college students have failed to turn out in large number at the polls. 1 Experts predicted that 1996 would \ not be a record year for young voter p turnout, largely because of an unexciting presidential race and a general disinterest t in politics. h Voters News Service, a collaboration \ oi the major television networks and t the Associated Press, projected that 49 percent of the voting age population y cast ballots, which would make it the y lowest voter turnout since 1924. r Richard Semiatin, an American i University political science professor, estimated that the youth-voter turnout r was down at least 8 percent since the 1: last presidential election. In 1992, a d record 46 percent of registered, young a voters turned out at the polls. The low turnout came despite record e numbers of registered voters, who signed v up to vote through electronic forms on the Internet or through the "motor n voter" law. ii "So, they're registered to vote, that a ioesn't mean they have an attachment r to voting," Semiatin said. ii "Young people are more likely to be affected by things that peak their interest," ii tie said. "Bill Clinton was not a new n product. He was an existing product, ii Ifoung people shop around ... if snmofVnnrT rlnccn'l r>a!r-V> fVioir ovo fhmr c JV/JlllVVllUlg UWU11 V VUW11 l/AAV-AA VJ Vj UliVJ %J don't vote." i: If voting were mandatory, that might p tiiake more people get out and vote, said Richard Hasen, an associate law professor F at the Chicago-Kent College of Law. While some governments-such as si Australia and Greece-don't heavily enforce h said Denver also suffers from a lack of h afficers to investigate questionable a classified ads. However, McCune said s most of the massage advertisements in v the classified section are questionable, t "It's a hit or miss deal, but usually u ive find prostitution," McCune said. There has been only one reported r case of sex for sale under the guise of ii massage in Boulder. In 1995, a woman responded to a v classified advertisement in the Colorado ti Daily that was hiring females to give a 'non-experienced" body massages. c According to the police report, the ousiness owner, a former CU student, i you rs. ik (*[im t O-iKlllP-1 :h with them' he law, people still follow it. But there's ilmost no chance of passing such a law n the United States, he said. "We've lived in this country for so ong [without a mandatory law] that it vould seem like a Mure to the democratic trocess," he said. The other possibility is paying people o vote. "They did that in ancient Athens," le said. "They would corral people to ote with a rope. Then, they later moved o paying people." Also, social pressure might force roung people into voting. "It used to be rou would go to vote, and people would ecognize their neighbors," he said. "Now t's much more anonymous." The issue of low, voter turnout must nove to the forefront, Hasen said. "We tave to talk about what we're going to lo about it. The less radical solutions ire not going to work." Mike McManis, a senior music ducation major, said he chose not to ote even though he is registered. "I woke up this morning and decided lot to vote," he said. "Neither party iterests me. Ifs a system based on power nd prestige. Politicians in this country eally end up looking out for their own iterests." He added, "From being a black man r\ o naunfwr T V\ htta ttinurn fUrtf oa?v\/\ i tins cuuiiLijr, a uavc vie wo uiat oumc night term extreme. I really stand indifferent now. Maybe it's youth." On the other hand, many college tudents said they were excited to vote n what, for most, was their first residential election. "It's an honor to be able to vote," tuane said. Sciarretta said she voted because he believes "if you don't vote, you don't ave the right to bitch about anything." lad the prospective employee perform massage on him and insisted that she exually stimulate him. He told the /oman that his employees were expected o give massages while they were nclothed, although sex was not allowed. After the interview, the woman eported the man to the police, and an nvestigation was conducted. The detectives found former employees /ho supported the woman's story, but he case was not prosecuted because of lack of evidence and poor witness redibility. ! 1 I 1 , . \ i \ lair int. j
