| Transcript | election 2000 A little humorous protesting to the election outcome could be seen around the University. Photo by Pin Lim choosing a candidate? Election 2000 was probably one of the most controversial elections ever. Results showed that the country was divided. But the talk on campus was not which candidate would win, but how the election itself was handled. The election was an ongoing battle for weeks, causing more tension between people as the days went by. If you drove down by the Galleria, you could see George Bush Jr. supporters standing on the corners protesting. Every night on the news, the people were seen protesting and raising more questions. The election left many students feeling that their vote didn't count because of what many saw as corruption behind the scenes. "The election really upset me because most college students don't vote anyway, and this discouraged them from ever wanting to voter junior James Patterson said. When Bush was declared President, some felt satisfied, while others felt cheated. "I don't feel that the election was ran fair for either candidate to declare one President over the other;' senior Carolyn Johnson said. The struggle for the White House was a polstudent Life The, Struggle, For tke White, House, Was controtrersial Awiong Students constant battle that left many voters upset. Even so, now that we a have seen Bush as President for a couple months, the country seems to have calmed down and is backing the President. Bush seems to be confident in pulling the country back together, and Gore is helping him make peace by supporting him. The month of November was a month of controversy not only between the country, but the different Democrat and Republican clubs. Both clubs were in full force backing their candidate. Each organization held rallies at the University Center and Satellite, and had various speakers that represented their party speak to the crowds to try to influence voting decisions. Even though students were angry with the government after the heat died down most forgot about the controversial election and are now starting to plan for the next election. "I am not angry anymore, accept the facts and move on;' senior Scot Buchanan said. -Amanda Yates Students gather in Coogs Cafe the night of the third presidential debate to watch the performance of the candidates.
