A correspondent told me no one was going to read this political issue. That statement crushed me. Not because my ego will be bruised if people don't read my paper, but because I really believe students want to know more about this election. Students tell me they don't care because the candidates don't relate to them or they simply don't think their vote will count. I will acquiesce to the non-political junkie that this election may not be the most exciting, but it is important.
Every election is important.
Naturally, students actively involved in a campaign have made a firm stand on issues. People are not boxes, we should not have sides. While covering presidential debates, I tried to conceal my personal political beliefs. Perhaps, I concealed them too well. I want to thank the people who took the time to write the editor about the perception that our paper favored a certain candidate.
