More Input From the College Press


"There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down."


Buffalo Springfield


As we approach the eve of the election, more college newspapers are standing up and expressing their preference in the presidential race.

I'm pleased to see more and more college newspapers promoting democratic activity. Young people have a lot at stake in every election.

I've seen one of those newspapers that supports the candidacy of John McCain:But most support Barack Obama and his message of change:The Flyer News of Dayton University declined to endorse a candidate. But it encouraged its readers to vote.

"[C]hoose for yourself and exercise your right as an American," the newspaper said. "Be a part of 'The Year of the Youth Vote.' Now that's a movement we'll endorse."

So will I.
