Clinton's speech, while favorably received by all but the AIDS demonstrators, was endorsed by one group of supporters conspicuous because they held a sign reading "Republicans for Clinton-Gore."

The group, comprised of senior citizens from Concord, N.H., supports Clinton because "he sees how important it is to work together, while [the Republican candidates] can't get out of the process of thinking 'conservative, conservative, conservative,'" according to Gail Church.

"I am a modern Republican and I firmly believe that there is more that binds us than separates us," Church said. "Bill Clinton is inclusive, not exclusive."

Her husband, Herbert Church '44, said he agrees but offered a slightly different reason.

"Who else is there?" he asked.

The event in Manchester marked the culmination of an effort by the campaign of Clinton and Vice President Al Gore '69 to involve college students in the re-election bid.

According to a press release from the College Democrats of America, students from the Northeast, Middle Atlantic and Midwest raised their own funds to visit the president in New Hampshire last weekend.

"The president has worked for students and now students are working for the president," said Kevin Geary, president of the College Democrats of America. "[W]e're excited about re-electing Bill Clinton, and we want to make sure that these events are accessible to college students."
