Voters: Men underrepresented in phone polls
Continued from page 1
The more politically active students
are the more likely state legislatures are
to listen to their concerns, and being
registered to vote is key to being politi
cally involved, Petkun said.
Future lobbying efforts with state
legislatures will bring “anecdotal evi
dence” of the registration drive’s suc
cess, Petkun said.
“The reason we do this is so we
can have victories elsewhere,”
Petkun said.
ASUO Federal Affairs Coordinator
Ashley Rees said the voter registration
drive’s success is just the beginning of
a major effort by student leaders to
make sure student voices are heard.
“Student issues in general will be a
priority,” Rees said.
Christina Swartz, who helped co
ordinate campus get-out-the-vote ef
forts, said the success of the registra- ,
tion drive will have long-lasting
effects on students.
“What happens when we turn 40
and still aren’t voting?” Swartz said.
“What do we do then?”
If citizens become politically active
at a young age it can ensure strong
political participation from them for
the rest of their lives, Swartz said.
Get-out-the-vote efforts focused on
contacting all newly registered stu
dents and reminding them to get
their completed ballot in before the
Nov. 2 deadline. Petkun said more
than 4,000 phone calls were made in
just two days.
Though there is no way of know
ing how many of the newly registered
voters at the University actually vot
ed, Petkun said it was clear to those
making calls and knocking on doors
that most students had either already
voted or were planning to do so.
“There was definitely a buzz on
campus about the elections,”
Petkun said.
Nationwide exit polls show the
same percentage of 18-29 year olds
voted in 2004 as did in 2000. Though
more young people voted in this elec
tion, University Political Science Pro
fessor Joel Bloom said the ratio of
young voters to voters over the age of
30 is still the same because more peo
ple voted overall.
Bloom, a research associate for the
Oregon Survey Research Laboratory,
directed the exit polls in Oregon, but
said the numbers the polls give may
be unreliable, particularly for the 18
29 year old age group.
Because Oregon uses a vote-by
mail system, exit polls in the state
take the form of telephone polls. This
can be problematic because some
people, particularly men, are hard to
reach via telephone and even harder
to involve in participation.
Bloom said his poll calculated 18
29 year olds made up 13 percent of
Oregon voters but the number would
probably be closer to the nationwide
number of 17 percent had young
men not been underrepresented.
Petkun said the numbers given by
the exit polls are not the end-all,
tell-all of how successful get-out
the-vote efforts were because they
don’t capture the level of excitement
and increase in political activism
that emerged on campus this year.
“Even those numbers can’t com
pletely quantify the success that we
had in our youth vote drive,” he said.

Blood: Donors in high demand for holidays
Continued from page 1
County Memorial Blood Bank
spokesperson Kristi Henderson said.
“In the United States, someone
needs a blood and transfusion every
two seconds and the holidays are a
time when blood is needed in blood
banks the most,” Sandi Lesch, Ameri
can Red Cross event coordinator, said.
The Lane County Memorial Blood
Bank has coordinated with SARB to
give students the opportunity to do
nate on campus monthly this year.

Blood bank officials said the blood from just one donor, such as this student
in the bloodmobile at the EMU, can help save three lives.
