Governor Sarah Palin speaks at Elon University
Toby Shearer
Staff Writer
It felt more like a summer festival
than a political rally when
Gov. Sarah Palin spoke at Elon
University earlier this month.
Parents brought their children
in spite of the peculiarly warm
autumn afternoon; people selling
Palin paraphernalia lined the
walk ways leading to the Walter
Latham Baseball Park where a
crowd of thousands gathered to
listen to bluegrass covers by the
Wells family Band from Clayton,
N.C., and a brief set by
Hank Williams Jr. in anticipation
of hearing the vice presidential
nominee speak.
Thursday, Oct. 16 was Gov.
Palin's second visit to North
Carolina in as many weeks and
it echoed Sen. McCain's visit to
Wilmington earlier that week.
Palin's rally was aimed at boosting
the McCain/Palin ticket in
North C?rolina, which has come
to be considered a "toss-up" state
according to close poll numbers
between McCain and Obama.
North Carolina is one of "several
important swing states. The.
15 Electoral College votes representing
the state could push
either candidate in the right
direction.
The crowd was a mixture of
Elon University students and
families nearly filling the entire
Republican vice preside11tial candidate Gov. Sarah· Palin spoke at a campaign rally at Elon University in Elon, North
Carolina, on Thursday, October 16, 2008. (Chuck Liddy/Raleigh News & OberverjMCT) I " \ . .
baseball field with an ecstatic
energy. Many snuck in homemade
Palin signs and. .the crowd
was awash in slogan T-shirts,
like one woman whose shirt was
emblazoned with a pug in lipstick
saying, ''Support Your Local
Hockey-Mom." · . .,_
North CarolinaSenators Elizabeth
Dole and-Richard Burr were
. on hand to express their support
for Palin. "You know why you.
think you know her? Because
· she's ene of us," Burr said of the
Alaskan governor to uproarious
cheers from the crowd.
Framed by two large banners
behind her exclaiming her tour's
slogans, "Victory in North Carolina"
and "Country First", Palin
spoke for 24 minutes outlining
in a polished speech the McCain/
Palin ticket's combined proposed
policies. Echoing the presidential
debate the night before, she said,
"Last night everyone in America
got a clear look at the choice we
face. It's the choice between a
politician who puts his faith in
government, and a true leader
who puts his faith in all of you."
·Palin focused heavily on what
she felt to be her missions; energy
independence through the
all-of-the-above development
of alternative energies, national
government · spending reform,
and looking after special needs
children. Her soil Trig was born
with Down Syndrome in April of
this year.
Gov. Sarah Palin, as a mother
of five, is a direct reflection of
the middle class,. and it is this
similarity that drives interest in
her. Linda Patelli, a local mother
in attendance with a group
of friends said, "As a mother of
three girls to see someone doing
what she's doing, and still having
a family and being a good
mother, I think that's fantastic."
Jan Wilson, a local mother in attendance
with a group of friends
said, "She>s just an American
mom doi.Qg the same thing we're
all doing."
·Even foJ those sypp<?_rting_ ~
· Obama, Palin holds a special in:
terest. Makeda Young, a sopho- ·
more in attendance at the rally,
and a professed Obama supporter,
still spoke highly of Palin,
"Most people can relate to her.
Now the other side gets to see
what somebody just like this can
do," she said.
Early voting is ongoing all this
week. Election day is Nov. 4.
Echaveste speaks .,on hU-11!~n rights
Jennifer Hasty
Staff Writer
On Oct. 14, Maria Echaveste
visited UNCG as part of the Office
of Multicultural Affairs' Human
Rights event.
Echaveste is one of seven children
born to Mexican immigrants.
After her family moved to
California, she received a Bachelor's
Degree in Anthropology at
Stanford University and a law degree
from Berkeley's law school.
She became the White House
deputy chief of staff during the
second Clinton administration.
She appears frequently on PBS'
"To The Contrary" and is also the
co-founder of the Nueva Vista
Group, along with many iilore
acclaimed positions. ·
At the beginning of Echaveste's
lecture, she stated that after the
2000 census, which highlights the

a sense of alarm about the-aging
America, increase in the Hispanic
population and/or .the d~cline in

inspired her main topic of discussion:
Is this something that
Americans ··should be worried
about? She -asked, "Does it matter
that increased racial and ethnic
diver~ity strikes fear in some
Americans?" -
After she. asked this question,
. she focused on public education
while using California as an exClfllple.
California, which is the
has the largest minority population
of any state in the U.S. and
is a place she grew up in, allowed
a child of farm workers with
minimal education to educate
their children, she stated. At the
time, her graduating year being

California has dropped to

why California had started
to make such bad decisions and
considered what has shaped California
is what the nation is now

Her first explanation ofCalifornia's
poor decisions was about life

A few easy tips to redur.t?. your energy use
and help protect our environment!
Save Energy, Drink Responsibly ... Water, that is!
In 2006, Americans used over 50 billion water
bottles and sent 38 billion of those to the landfill,
the equivalent -of 912 million gallons of oil.
Americans could power 190,000 homes with
the energy we waste using bottle w~ter.
A better solution: Try a Brita Filter!! The average
Brita pitcher filters 240 gallons of water a
year for only about 19 cents a day! How much
would you spend on a bottle of water a day?
A Halloween Tip: Buy your pumpkin from a
local market or famers market, and remember
to save your seeds for an easy snack!
