Reform Party Draws Few Students

But Rhoads says he thinks the labels attached to Buchanan have been completely unfounded.

"It's reminiscent of a grade-school word-fight," he says. "It's just unsubstantiated name-calling."

Rock the Vote?

Lenora Fulani, a prominent reform party member and Buchanan supporter, does not believe supporters have to agree with all of Buchanan's views to support the Reform Party.

"I have no interest in a campaign based on social conservatism," Fulani says. "I think Pat's a populist and I am interested in his base."

Fulani says she feels Buchanan can be accommodating to an array of voters, and she stresses the importance of the youth vote.

"Young people are right now at the base of the support that we would like to be able to reach out to," Fulani says. "[They] are not as connected with the two party establishment."

But while the college Reform Party organization will be actively campaigning cross-country this summer for the student vote, canvassing county fairs and parades, it might be a lost cause.
