As Bush Nears New England, Students Begin Campaigns

"We're just getting people together...and brainstorming right now," said Students for Bush member Erin L. Sheley '02. The group has not yet planned any campus-wide events

"We've done some postering and door-dropping, and we plan to go to New Hampshire this Thursday when George W. Bush arrives there," Sheley said.

The group has few ties to the College Republicans, but uses that organization's e-mail list to recruit members and publicize its events.

"The Students for Bush receive no financial resources from the College Republicans," said Anne L. Berry '01. "They mostly make use of informational and networking resources."

Sheley said she had not heard about the College Democrats' George W. Bush Education Campaign, but said she hopes that it does not become a personal attack on the presidential candidate.

"As long as it's handled tastefully, I have nothing to say about it," Sheley said.

According to Sanberg, the campaign would focus on the issues of the campaign and Bush's actual policy proposals.

"This is absolutely not a mud-slinging campaign," he said. "We've found that people at Harvard respond to issues, not sound bytes."
