UBE hopes to raise voter participation

By Valerie Clemens | January 28, 2011

The University Board of Elections is now promoting the student-wide election held in February. The ballot, created and distributed annually by the UBE, will consist of candidates running for leadership positions among the University's student governing bodies, as well as any referenda being proposed by these bodies. In the past, the UBE has seen low voter turnout, UBE Chair Ricky Zein said, adding that on average, about 30 to 40 percent of students cast a vote. "This year, I am hopeful that we can surpass 50 percent of the student voting population," Zein said. The UBE hopes that candidate endorsements from other student organizations will help to increase the number of students who participate in the process. "Any [contracted independent organization] can endorse a candidate, and their endorsement is communicative throughout the general study body," Zein said.

Hurt responds to Obama

By Caroline Houck | January 28, 2011

Traditionally, members of the opposing party respond to the president's speech with statements of their own, explaining their party's and their own perspectives on the issues covered in the address. In his response, Hurt noted that "it was encouraging to hear President Obama address the pressing need to create jobs, cut spending and get our fiscal house in order," but added that he "was disappointed by [Obama's] renewed commitment to pursue more stimulus-style government spending." Obama's speech focused on the nation's need to strive for bipartisan cooperation; endorse research, innovation and education; and facilitate small business development. "We need to out-innovate, out-educate and out-build the rest of the world," Obama said.
