Harvard Watch, a Ralph Nader-sponsored watch group called for more student input in the search process which they termed "secretive and exclusionary." Nader came to campus for a rally urging openness in the search. More than 200 students attended, shouting slogans including "Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! This secrecy...
Many students are weighing the choice between Gore and Green Party candidate Ralph Nader, including some who hope to cast a "tactical vote," if Gore seems far enough ahead in their state. Given the unreliability of poll numbers and the vagaries of voter turnout, we warn students from casting this kind of electoral protest.

But the gentle program aimed right at the swing voters gets lost because they...
