For the paSI few weeks, ,he Colgate community has been abuzz
about the midterm elections that
cook place on November 2. Another sect of the Colgate community,
,he univcrsicy's employees, however, has been talking about a very
different election.
On October 7, 25 Colgate
employee.s hailing from the library, mail services and Campus
Safery dispatch voted robe represented by Service Employees Internacional Union (SEIU) Local
200 in a vote of 14 co I 0, with
two ballou contested.
Currently, this vote has not
caused any immediate change,
but it has ·set in mot.ion a series
of evcncs that will eventually aJ.
te.r the conrncts of all 25 workers
involved in the election and trans•
form the way each interacts with
Human R.clacions (HR).
Neicher side, SEIU Local 200
nor HR, is sure of the timclinc
l~rl«ll:i.nd
for writing new conrrac1s. How•
ever, le•d Organiu:r of SEIU
Local 200 Shelley Ceravolo said
the next step after the vote will
be to have a meeting with all 25
employees and send out conuacc
surveys Defore any negotiations
with the Universiry can begin.
The election, which was ovc.r•
seen by che National Labor Relations Board, was a formal process,
which culminated a, 5:00 p.m. in
James C. Colgacc Hall.
Upon hearing the outcome of
the election, which was decided by
a simple majority, supponcrs of the
union were satl56ed.
..I'm so relieved," Ceravolo said.
"They ccally deserve it."
Ce~lo was referring to the
25 workers who would be joining
SEIU, some of whom wacched as
the ballot$ were counted.
One such employee, Campus
Safecy Dispaccher Judy Murphy pur
the clcccion in perspective.
"People want fair and equitable
treatment," Murphy said.

ch rough frcquenc rounds of applause
for Clinton's initiative.
Former President Clinton was
asked to deliver an hour-long speech
on the importance of leadership in
creating a more pc..-accfuJ world. He
was also asked to speak abou1 his

that I went out of my way to talk to my friend's parents bolstered our «lacionship because of the

Some say rhc voters were mad. Others blame the Democratic base that never mobilized.
Still others simply hate the President. Many chalk it all up 10 the economy. Maybe all of the
a.bovc. But one thing, the ouccomc, is ccnain: the United States House of Representatives has
swung overwhelmingly right.
Yet even as likely new Speaker of the House John Boehner promises repeals of key reforms
like healthcare, tax cut extensions a.nd (not or) a balanced budget, we must rcmcm~r that the
nation's 6rs't black president will now be forced co work wich chc nation's first orange speaker
(have you seen his tan?). The Democratic majority in the Senate, however narrow, will not
cooperate with these sw~ing plans. If, by some strange miracle, any of these iniciatives make
it out of conference committee and off Capitol HiU, President Obama will meet it fast and
hard with a veto.
In the short time since the election, Republican lcadenhip has already promised to act on
what it is &aming as a sweeping mandate. But Mitch McConnell and especially Mr. Boehner
must reconcile with the reality that the right-wing agenda that g,.ve Republicans a House
majority is a political impossibility. This is the gridlock that the founding fathm wanted when
they established a bicameral lcgislatun:. But with a right-shifted Howe in the GOP's control,
can we truly expect moderate compromises in the name of progtt,s? Or perhaps the I 12th will
prove that the opposite of pro is con, and the opposite of progress io Congress.
In any case, both parties att now at risk going into the 2012 elections. Democrau wiU
blame the hell-no-Howe as the reason for the imminent legislative stagnation. Republicans
wUI claim a mandate and argue that the Oemocrau are ignoring the will of the people.
Bue Republicans muSf be careful not to mistake their victories as a mandate. Polls sugges-t
that Obama is more popular than Congress. In Congress, both panics polled very poorly. This
suggescs an anti•incumbenc and anti-establishment anger more than any anger directed at any
particular party. Much in the same way that liberals were disappointed by the ultimately moderate agenda of President Obama, conservatives and Tea Pattie.rs may find themselves wonder·
ing where all the passion and 6re went if Mr. Boehner and his buddies deei!le 10 cooperate on
ea.s-icr, Auffier bipartisan issues like education,
President Oba.nu's agenda is in jcopudy. He will n<>t be able to deliver on big issues like
immigration, energy and climate ch.angc. &t Republlcans will not gee theh:, fwttplng ttpc~
of all things Obama eidicr. The GOP has promi$Cd 10 fundamentally change government and
Washington, but we can't really expect either party co deliver in these circ*mscances.
Change is a hot-button won! sitting on a bed of ice. The march of progress has been frozen:
die left will be unable to proceed forwud, and at least until 2012, the right will be unable to
take us back to the failed policies of a decade of decline. I hope everyone is comfortable where
we are, because nothing is going anywhere soon.
ContaetJama Bourne at jbourne@eolgatt.rdu.
For anyone who is unaware, yesterday's voling shook things up in Washington and
across the US. The Republicans arc now in control of the House, and have narrowed
the Democracic majority in the Senate, removing the Democ.rats monolithic presence
in the Senate chamber since the 2008 election. The majority of state governors arc now
Republicans, as well.
.
I'm not going to sit here and spout numbers at yo.u - that's something you can do
yourself. No, che concern of this article is not what has happened but what will happen now. There att some likening this event back to 1994, when Clinton found him•
self facing a Republican controlled Congress. The Republican majority in the Congress
effectively forced Clinton to move his policies to a more. moderate position, resulting in increased cooperation between the parties. Or at least that's what some would like
to believe.
The truth is that partisan bickering increased rwofold, with Cong...,.ional Republicans launching an all out assault on the Dcmocradc President (Gingrich's tantrum,
impeachment hearings - ring a bell anyone?) and the Pr..ident in tum, used the Congre,. as a foil to absorb the blame when things didn't get done. The point of this comparison is 10 ,how that a repeat of 1994 is exactly what we don't need right now. The
country has spoken, the people have spoken - it turns out that Hope and Change can't
6x the economy in a day a, promised, and they are turning to Republican leadership to
help straighten things out. Now, politic:& is politic, - I don't ex.pcct any kind of a handholding ,ing•a•long session 10 break out berween the President and the newly formed
Republican majority.
But the American people desire action, and rwo yean of gridlock isn't going to hdp
anybody, The burden of responsibility is ·now on the Republicans who made gaJns ycsten!ay. They muSt be able to differentiate berween policies pushed by the president that
would hurt our nation and one5 that could have the potential to move us forward. Like
a young tree, Republican leadership must be 6rm yet willing to yield to the breeze, in
this case the will of the American people. I, for one, am hopeful for the first time since
2008. Oh, the irony.
N. a short a.side, which·! onl)' ,mention as a concerned.native New-YQrker, I feel a deep
disappointment upon the election of Status Cuomo. Having lived in Ups~te all .m y life, I
see the people shifting under the taxes imposed to support corrupt unions, build baseball
stadiums downstate and construct power lines over our hou5CS. The state of New York has
become emetic to small businesses of every kind, and with this election I fear that many
people will have no choice but to conrinuc ,he current trend that is plaguing upstate New
York. Ultimately, ,hey will leave New York for a state that does not gouge its own people.

which is the more conservative factic>n. Just like the Democratic P,ny, they are going to have to figure

California is still fuirly socially oonscrvarive, which can som<.1:imC5 be a surprise to people.
Raymond: Wlw is the take-away message from the Mldterm deaion raultt this wKnynak: I would call it a correction. In 2008, we had the election of President Obama and
a Democratic Congress. They thought it was a mand.tte not only 10 6x the economy, but also 10
transform the country. The people really only understood it as a mandate 10 6x the ooonomy. The
rransforming of the country - meaning the expansion of the power of the fedml govm,ment
in health care, the financia1 indusuy, the automobile industry, possibly to the energy sccl:or with
cap and crade - the people have incerprc,ocl this co be unneoessary or, in some cases, bad for the
economy. So they said they wanted a correction. They said the whole expansion of government is
probably making things worse so let's drop the whole transformation of America and gtt back 10
die question of fixing die economy. In effect, diis means creating jobs ,o that the unemployment
problem can be solved.
There is also a deeper lesson. I think the Amcriright country, mThe government should be there as a safety net, not for cnticlcmcnt. The social values of Americans
are more traditional than those of Obama, Pdosi and the liberal wing of the Democratic party.
We need to restore America to the policies and value, ofa c,nter-right oountry. I'd oome back to
those cwo words with this election: correction and restoration.
R: Will a RepubliQUJ..a,ntrollod HoUIC and Demoaat..a,ntrollod Senate create a
Congreulonal gridlodt In which legulatlon will be lmposalble to pua!
Ki In the shon-tcrm, I think there will be a period of gridlock as both sides 6gute out their
sa21cgics. That's not n..,,...,;Jy a bad thing. One thing that Rand Paul said, which I diink he's right
about, is that part of the strategy for chccl10 continuously pass bills that ttquire more and more spending that w, don't hav<. Gridlock could
be understood as a principle for chcddng the growth of big government and the Rq,ublicans may
undcmand it that way. At the same time, gridlock might be a good sell for Democrats twO years
from now. It's almost like a poker game. We'll how the two sides play their hand.

Colgate arc best described as adventurous.

Ohio native said. "Colgate is so close to
the Adirondacks, which makes activities
like hiking so readily available.•
Callahan, a biology major, has rakcn
advantage of Colgate's scenic location
through hc.r active involvement in Out·
door Ed. The senior spccialiu.s in sea and
water kayaking, which she teaches as an
Outdoor Ed physical education class.
Callahan's love of nature also extends
to the laboratory. Under the direction
of Assistant Professor of Biology Catherine CardclUs, Callahan is cuncndy
invcS1igating the biodiversity of Church
Forests in Ethiopia.

laughed. "'l'm using the plant samples

Callahan's life at Colgate is not
merely restricted co her involvement
in nature. As the Vice Pres ident of
Chapter Development for Ocha Delta
Delta, the senior has found her second
major passion at Colgate.
"Due to Outdoor Ed training sophom*ore year, I wasn't ~ t involved in Tri

passed, I'm so happy I became more active.
My role as VP of Chapter Ocvclopmcnt allows me co help members with whatever issues they're dealing with, may it be finances,
grades or something else."
Callahan a lso cites her scudyabroad trip to Wales last semester as
an "unbelievable" experience.
"MoSt p<:oplcasked me why I was going
to Wales," Callahan said. "People think of
Wales :rnd imagine rain and sheep. But,
Cardiff' is an interesting place . It's the perfect jumping-off point for exploring the
continent. We spent every weekend either
backpacking around Wales or going to
different European countries.'"
Callahan hopes to rake this exploratory
spirit with her once she graduat"es.
"I currently don't have any plans for
after graduation," Callahan explained.
"'But, I thjnk it's liberating nor ro know.
I'm hoping to lead some Outward Bound
trips, for school-aged and at-•ris-lc youth,

Despite the open road ahead of her, Callahan knows ,he will be leaving behind a

Roider success rhar would define the rest of
the match, as Bucknell walked away with
a comfortable. 25-17 win. The game began with the Raiders suuggling to stay in
system. Dtspite the defense's _ability to get
touches on the ball, the execution was not
clean and the back row failed to support
the offense or to keep up with the fast pace
of the head referee.
Many of Colgate's points came from
tools off of the hands of the Bucknell block
and from Bison errors at the net on offense.
After a disputed touch on the outside gave
