or below you,” Buzzell said. “In a house, you only have to worry
about your roommates, and that’s something you can control in
your own environment.”
Another problem students living off-campus face is parking,
both at school and at home.
Of those responding to the survey, 29 percent said that at
least once a week they were unable to park in their housing
unit or designated area. They also raised concerns about park
ing lot lighting.
Overall, older students seemed happier with their living
conditions than younger students.
Graham attributed this trend to a growing sense of maturity
in older students and to older students having been away from
the comfort of their hometowns and parents longer.
Students returned 85 percent of the surveys sent. Graham
predicts the housing survey will be conducted every five years.
Crash

airport in the face of the rain
and snow.
“It stalled over my build
ing, winged over and went
straight into the ground like a
dart,” he said.
Johnson, whose office is
halfway between the airport
and the crash site, said the
airplane never got any higher
than 400 feet.
“I kept thinking, ‘Please!
Please get some altitude!”’ he
said. “It just went right into the
ground. I knew no one survived.
It would have been impossible.”
The plane took off at
8:25 a.m. after spending the
night here. The 4-foot-2,
brown-haired Jessica was so
short she needed extenders on
the plane’s pedals in cider to
reach them.
“It’s been a long day,” Jes
sica said after landing late
Wednesday. “I enjoyed it. I
can’t wait until the next day.
I can’t wait to sleep. I had two
hours of sleep last night.”
According to the plans,
Reid wasn’t supposed to touch
the controls except in an
emergency. Her father was to
sit in the back seat of the
Cessna 177B.

Jerry Olson said surface visi
bility was about five miles
and the temperature was 38
degrees, “right on the edge of
icing being a problem.”

voters don’t.
Asked, “Should the Republi
can platform support a constitu
tional amendment to ban abor
tion?,” 54 percent of GOP prima
ry voters said no and 40 percent
said yes — even though such a
plank has been in the party plat
form since 1980. The exit polls
were conducted by Voter News
Service, a partnership of The As
sociated Press, ABC, CBS, CNN
and NBC.
Despite the poll numbers,
many GOP strategists think the
abortion issue will be a winning
one for them in November.
In part, that’s because anti
abortion organizations plan to
target battleground states —
mostly in the Midwest — that
Clinton carried in 1992 but
where anti-abortion support is
strong. These include Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois, Missouri
and Pennsylvania.
Clinton’s veto angered many
Catholics, who have sizeable
numbers in these states. “If we
deny the humanity of a child as it
is being born, whose humanity
will be denied next? Thoughtful
Americans should keep this in
mind as they ponder their choices
on Election Day,” Cardinal James
A. Hickey, the archbishop of
Washington, said in a statement.
Democratic strategists pri
vately concede Clinton needs to
carry most of these states to be
re-elected and that opposition
from Catholics could be a signifi
cant problem.
But publicly, they assert Clin
ton’s veto won’t cost him many
votes, in those states or elsewhere.
“This is an attempt by Repub
licans to reframe the issue away
from the issue of ‘choice,’ where
they know they are out on the
edge, out of the mainstream,”
said Ann Lewis, Clintons
deputy campaign manager. “It
will not succeed.
The president did the right
thing in choosing to protect
women’s health.”
The abortion issue is one that
can cut both ways politically,
and analysts suggest polls don’t
always tell the whole story.
“People generally say, Train
favor of choice.’ But when yon
ask them about specific restric
tions, like parental notification
you see a fair degree of sup
port,” said pollster Andrew Ko
hut, director of the Pew Rf
search Center for the People
and the Press.
