Students continued from page 1A Many woke surprised. Some contemplated the early election re turns, while others just longed to put the election behind them. “I went to bed with the impres sion that Bush was winning, but I woke up hoping that Gore had won,” said Annie Hummert, a soph omore women’s studies major. Hummert is just one of the many University students who voted in Tuesday’s presidential election only to discover that as of Wednes day, they still didn’t know the re sults. Final results are contingent upon the ongoing recount of elec tion ballots in Florida. Officials are expected know the results by 5 p.m. Eastern time today. “It is exciting because this is the first major election I have voted in,” Hummert said. Hummert supported Gore main ly because of his stance on women’s issues. “If Bush wins, I think I’m going to move to Canada,” she said jok ingly. Other University students are also awaiting election results with some apprehension. “I am surprised by how close it is,” said Beverly Ajie, a senior biol ogy major. “I voted for Nader, but seeing how close it is, maybe I shouldn’t have.” As of Wednesday evening, Nad er had received 5 percent of the vote in Oregon and 3 percent of the vote nationally. “I wanted to vote for someone different,” said John-Paul Dull, a journalism and English major. “That’s why I voted for Nader.’’The small number of votes that Nader Dan Brunell Emerald John-Paul Dull (left) and Edwin Prased discuss the presidential election in the EMU Wednesday. The recent general election is a hot topic among students around campus. captured nationally disappointed some University students.“I was really wishing that [Nader] would have gotten more votes,” said Mike Shuman, a pre-journalism major. “But the small margin between Gore and Bush made it very excit ing, a perfect way to have an elec tion.” Some students who watched election coverage into the wee hours of the morning may have de scribed the election as “frustrat ing” instead. “First they gave Florida to Gore and then they took it away, then they gave it to Bush and then they took it away, and now they still don’t knovy. It’s really annoying,” said,Katie Hultquist, aiine arts ma jor. “I think that they should get rid of the Electoral College and go with the popular vote.” But for some voters it was the constant projections - right or wrong - that kept the race exciting. “I think the projections by the media really kept the race sus penseful,” said Ehsan Seyedhossi ni, a junior bio-logy major. Another element that kept the race tense was the controversy concerning the closeness of the race in Florida. “I just think it’s a little suspi cious that Bush’s brother is the governor of Florida and things are going on down there with missing ballot boxes and everything,” said Morgan Hager, a fine arts major.
