Presidential election pits
Yale Class of ‘66 against ‘68
By Diane Scarponi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW HAVEN, Conn.
This year’s presidential election
vs going to be a class war: Class
of 1968 versus Class of 1966.
“IfYalies were going to vote
based on who’s an alum, you’d
have to tlip a coin,” said sopho
more Alissa Stollwerk, secretary
of the Yale College Democrats.
President Bush and
Democratic rival John Kerry
graduated from Yale University in
the 1960s. a time of upheaval at
Yale and campuses across the
country. Both shied away from
the radicalism of the day but
joined the same secret society and
followed similar pursuits, their
paths diverging after graduation.
When Kerry graduated in
1966 with a degree in political
science, opposition to the
Vietnam War was building.
Yale still required students to
wear jackets and ties at dinner,
and no female undergraduates
were admitted.
By the time Bush earned a
degree in history in 1968, Yale
was simmering with activism
against the war and in favor of
labor unions and other causes.
Dinner jackets were gone, and
female undergraduates arrived
the following year.
Both men were chosen to
join Yale’s top secret society —
Skull and Bones. Each year, 15
seniors are tapped for the 172-
year-old club, which owns a
windowless crypt on campus
and a private island in the St.
Lawrence River.
The experiences ami influence
of Bonesmen. as members are
known, have reached mythic pro
portions. Their rites and member
ship arc supposed to be secret,
although initiations reportedly
include lying in a coffin and con
fessing personal sexual secrets.
Candidates cross paths at Yale
At Yale University in the 1960s, President Bush was a bom Yalie
and Sen. John Kerry was a jock and political junkie. Both were
members of the secretive club - Skull and Bones.

Presidents Tuft and George H.W.
Bush were members.
Classmates remember Kerry
as a big man on campus who
played several sports, including
junior varsity hockey. As a
freshman, he also dated
Jacqueline Kennedy’s half-sis
ter. Janet Auchincloss.
“He had a lot of demands on
his time, and for him to play
hockey in winter and play j.v.
— that was a fair amount of
dedication to the sport, and he
played hard,” recalled Gordon
Walker, a classmate who man
aged the team.
Kerry, whose father worked
for the State Department after
graduating from Yale, as
involved in politics from the
moment he arrived in New
Haven. He w as head of the Yale
Political Union, a college debat
ing society, and joined the Fence
Club, which was popular with
preppy, blue-bkxxf students.
Bush w as a bom Yalie as well
as a legacy. His grandfather.
Prescott Bush, the future senator
from Connecticut, graduated
from the Ivy League school. His
father, the fomier president.»as
a student when he was bi
there. The line continues iliis
spring when Bush’s daughie:
Barbara, earns a Yale degree
“He was congenial, gregan
ous. relatively unremarkable ini
sense.” recalled a classmate am!
fellow team member, Jim
Latimer. ”1 enjoyed knowing
him. He w as entirely pleasant
Despite the legacy, Kern is
more popular at Yale, his politics
favored by the liberal-leaninc
student body.
When Bush accepted an hon
orary degree and spoke at Yale's
300th graduation ceremony u
2001. many graduates carried
signs or wore emblems critical
of Bush. Some turned their
backs on him w hen he spoke.
Yet Bush won over other'
with his self-deprecating humor
He congratulated ihe honors stu-
dents, then added: "To the C
students, 1 say. ‘You, too. can be
president of the United States."'
