the GOP setting the agenda, it could
mean more of the same bitter, partisan
gridlock that twice closed down the
government last year.
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.
The fact that Clinton and Congress

of legislation as the election drew closer
is a good sign, said Merkowitz, who
predicted both parties will likely be
jockeying for the high ground on
education.
"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."

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. (

5 'more in touc
to care about the political system." t
That might best describe the attitude a
on many college campuses. 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

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

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."

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.
