| Transcript | Clintons Round Returning to the White House for another four years, Bill Clinton celebrated his second inauguration amidst family, friends and the m American people. Clinton became the 0P3F W first American president not to collect more than 50 percent of the vote in either election. I'm glad that he was elected again, because he was the best candi- date for the job. He did a good job his first term, so I didn't see why he wouldn't remain president;' said freshman political science major Kelsi Walker. As president, Clinton strength- 2 by ened federal programs that helped stu- Don LeGrand dents and families defray the cost of education. His 1998 budget to Congress requested an 11 percent increase in funds for the Department of Education. He planned to raise the Pell Grant maximum award to $3,000, a $300 increase that would be the largest in 20 years. "He has taken an initiative toward volunteering and especially education. I believe he is doing a good job which is why I voted for him," said senior psychology major Dawn Clintons views on issues appeared more popular than those of Republican opponents Bob Dole and Pat Buchanan. Clinton said he did not believe in denying social services to illegal immigrants and supported major tax proposals. Hillary Rodham Clinton also took an active role in public service, such as chairing the Task Force on National Health Care Reform in 1993. This year she won a Grammy, the first First Lady to do so, in the Best Spoken Word of Nonmusical Album category for her book, "It Takes a Village:' "I am proud that Hillary Clinton is taking an active role in helping her husband. She is a standard for all first ladies to follow and a strong role model for everyone to look up to',' said junior architecture major Lea Anne Leatherwood. Daughter Chelsea, in high school at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., received driving lessons from her father at Camp David and sometimes brings a companion along when vacationing with her parents. "Her father is under a microscope and that places her under public scrutiny as well. Its hard enough trying to be a teenager, much less having the whole country watch you;' said sophomore communications major Darrell Williams. Since the private living quarters of the White House did not have an informal place to gather for meals, a serving kitchen on the second floor was converted into a family kitchen for the Clintons, where they gather to converse like any other family in the country. Hillary Clinton addresses the delegates at the Democratic National Convention. This year, she added to her list of accomplishments by becoming the first flrst l.ady to win a Grammy.
