she said.
Hoffman emphasized that her opinions
had nothing to do with the choice of
candidates.
"Even if it were a different candidate, I
would object," she said.
Public outcry against the university's
implied endorsement of Bush's candidacy
has prompted officials at PSU to begin
working on a policy regarding visits by
political candidates to the campus.
"The University Senate Officers have
decided that we will be working with the
University Senate Committee to establish
a firm policy on visits by political
candidates," said Jacob Deßooy, associate

"We are planning to contact other
universities with respect to entertaining
political candidates," he said.
Deßooy said that university officials
did not sanction the rally.
"Bush was invited by PSU's Student
Republican Organization. It was a student
activity," he said.
Deßooy also added, "President Joab
Thomas did not appear with Bush on the
same platform."
Then there is the issue of free speech.
"It's very important that everyone have
academic and political freedom," said

"The university has not always been
open to open speech," he said.
Cathy Himes, a graduate student in
mechanical engineering, said, "I thought if
Paterno wanted to endorse Bush, he had
every right to. It was like Bush going to a
home team. I think everybody over
reacted."
Some of the concerns go beyond
damaged public image.
"I am less concerned with the impact
on the public, than about the impact upon
the university," Hoffman said.
"The endorsement means something to
me because we are the university. That
logo shouldn't have been used in a partisan

she said.
Young said, "Paterno is an institution
at PSU, and as such, he represents more
than himself. He has to decide where his
personal and public personae end."
The remaining questions is, was it

"I don't think Patemo's endorsement
will get Bush a single vote. It just doesn't
translate (into votes)," Young said.
"For presidential races, endorsements
don't mean very much, " he said.
