July Fourth
continued from page 1
Elliott agrees with the impor
tance of remembering those who
gave their lives for America.
“I think it is important to re
member those who are dead, no
matter what holiday,” he said.
Even though Elliott identified
himself as a patriotic citizen, he
added that he can still see the na
tion’s flaws.
“I believe that we are the freest
country and the most corrupt
country,” he said.
Some University students said
the Fourth of July puts too much
emphasis on celebrating the birth
of a corrupt country. Regardless of
their position on patriotism, stu
dents found a variety of ways to
celebrate.Senior women’s studies
major Nikki Fancher celebrated
the Fourth of July by going to an
“anti-Fourth of July” party.
“Fourth of July has typically
meant relatives forcing you to cele
brate a holiday that you don’t be
lieve in,” Fancher said. But she does
“We are celebrating our
national pride day by
swimming and drinking
beer... to forget about
school or work and come
together and relate to each
other as Americans.”
Josh Waldman
sophomore, undeclared
enjoy eating food and drinking beer
with those that she cares about, re
gardless of the significance of this
holiday.
“It is mainly a holiday based on
myths and lies,” Fancher said.

Athea Vichas, a junior biology
major, agreed with the idea of shar
ing the holiday with friends in
stead of family.
“Fourth of July is about party
ing with friends instead of setting
off crappy fireworks in your cul
de-sac,” Vichas said. Her defini
tion of this holiday is “not the
typical nationalism. It basically
gives us a free day off from school
and working.”
Undeclared sophomore Josh
Waldman and junior history and
political science major Andy Brans
ford enjoyed the day off as well.
“We are celebrating our national
pride day by swimming and drink
ing beer,” both said. Waldman
thinks the Fourth is a time “to for
get about school or work and come
together and relate to each other as
Americans.”
Bransford agreed and added,
“Be happy that we have this free
dom.”
