Ross Perot's announcement yesterday that he would rejoin the presidential race inspired reactions of disappointment among Harvard students, whose emotions toward the Texas billionaire's antics ranged from anger to indifference.

Generally, students thought that Perot--who never explicitly said he was a candidate before dropping out of consideration in July--was not a serious political contender, but a few expected his most recent action to adversely affect the race.

Most student anger yesterday was directed at Perot's reversal of opinion. Some undergraduates thought he had planned such a routine from the beginning.

"I think he's a fascist," said Harmony Fusco '94. "He's completely trying to bypass the democratic process."

Fusco argued that through his late entrance and his temporary departure, Perot missed the most intense periods of media and public scrutiny.

Haneen M. Rabie '95 of Adams House agreed that Perot was manipulating the public.

"I don't think it's fair of him to play with the mind of the voter," Ra- bie said.

A few students complained of Perot's treatmentof his supporters at the time of his dropout inJuly.

"He left his supporters high and dry," saidChris W. Brechtel '96.

Matthew A. Holian '95, who said he hadsupported Perot last spring, agreed, saying hiscampaign actions reflect on the type of presidenthe would be.

"What kind of president would Ross Perot be ifevery time Congress disagrees with him, he quits."asked Holian.

The issue, according to many students, iscredibility. Weihsueh Chiu '93 wondered why Perotever dropped out "if it was completely up to thevolunteers from the beginning."

"It just seems less credible," Chiu said.

Student politics, too, criticized the Texan.

"I think he's an egomaniac," said Gregory S.Chernack '93, head of Harvard/Radcliffe forClinton/Gore. "I think he's lost all credibility.

And on this issue, at least, there isbipartisan agreement.
