GSBA Newsletter

In case you missed it, the GSBA Newsletter was released on December 3. It included an article about our club on page three:

As an issue-advocacy group, the Campus Libertarians avoid spending their resources on campaigning for individual candidates and instead focus their efforts upon spreading the information about the ideals and policies advocated by libertarian thinkers to students at Gonzaga.

Early in the year, the Campus Libertarians' presence was reflected by appearances in the Gonzaga Bulletin. President Jonathan Dingel lamented that neither George W. Bush nor John Kerry favor limited government in a September 3rd opinion piece. In an October 8th story on a local Libertarian Party meeting, the Campus Libertarians' campus activities were noted. And the October 15th edition of the paper had extensive coverage of a debate between the Campus Libertarians, College Republicans, and Young Democrats about the US government's conduct of the War on Terror.

That debate was the first of three in a series sponsored by the three political clubs in an effort to raise voter awareness for the November 2nd election. The Campus Libertarians held their own in these exchanges and succeeded in forcing some students to reconsider their beliefs in light of an opinion not locked into the Republican/Democrat binary.

Gonzaga students tired of the bipartisan consensus will continue to hear fresh ideas from the second-year club throughout the school year, as the Campus Libertarians continue to highlight flaws of the political status quo.

Happy Holidays from the Campus Libertarians

Five members of the GU Campus Libertarians volunteered at Habitat for Humanity on Saturday morning. That event concluded the fall semester for the club. Thank you to those who came out to help.
The Campus Libertarians will return to action when school resumes in 2005. Look for us at the club fair during the last week of January.
Happy Holidays to all.
