'Prince' ignores Nader '55 in Nov. 6 opinion package
By not including a statement in support of Ralph Nader '55's presidential candidacy in the Nov. 6 editorial section, the 'Prince' shows itself out of touch with the choices many students made at the polls yesterday. Political activity on campus has proven that the Nader campaign holds great appeal for Princeton students. Nader's speech Oct. 15 — his second this year — more than filled Richardson auditorium and raised the level of political dialogue on this campus. Also, your own Web poll — conducted and published at www.dailyprincetonian.com — showed that 72 percent of students believe Nader's campaign has benefited American politics. While most of these students are not likely to be Nader voters, they have at least expressed an interest deserving of more serious and inclusive 'Prince' election coverage. Curtis Deutsch GS
'Prince' ignores Nader '55 in Nov. 6 opinion package
It was very disappointing on the eve of this election to see that the Nov. 6 issue of the 'Prince' failed to include a statement on behalf of Green Party candidate Ralph Nader on its opinion page while including pieces on behalf of the other two candidates by professors at the University. Just as Nader has been excluded from the debates, so has he been given little attention in the press relative to the enthusiasm and passion that his campaign has aroused throughout the country in this election year. Nowhere is this more true than in Princeton, where dozens of unpaid volunteers have put countless hours into raising awareness about Nader's campaign and the Green Party both in the local community and on campus, where the Campus Greens organized a well-attended speaking visit by Nader last month.
To be fair to all the candidates in this election, the 'Prince' should have solicited a statement on behalf of Nader's candidacy from a member of the University community that would have appeared alongside the pieces in support of Gore and Bush. It is absolutely necessary that the views of all candidates be given equal voice in the student newspaper so as to ensure that students and other readers of the 'Prince' are able to make an informed decision at the polls on Election Day.
