Not invited to see Hillary
Clinton? Join the club.
Hillary Clinton visited Penn State Harrisburg,
and your invitation got lost in the mail.
Relax, you are not alone. Only a few students
knew about the visit. If you were one who lifted
your head from the books for a moment to hear
the whisper that Hillary Clinton was visiting our
campus, then you were in a state of grace.
What was the big secret? As students, you all
should have had the opportunity to see Hillary
Clinton in person.
If you happened to sneak a peek at the first
lady, then you were lucky.
Only ten PSH students where allowed to attend
the luncheon and brainstorming session in the
Educational Activities Building. However, the
students could not get a word in edgewise about
their feelings on health care reform.
What most of the highly educated professionals
present failed to address was that health care
reform is, and will be, the responsibility of
college-age students in the future. If more
students had been allowed to attend the
conference, they probably would have made
significant contributions to the discussions.
I was among the lucky ones to have had the
chance to participate in the conference.
So, what was the big secret? Was a single PSH
figurehead to share the limelight alone with
Hillary Clinton? Or, maybe it was the Secret
Service who admonished everyone to secrecy.
!CORRECTION:
Last issue's editorial had stated that Bill Clinton was
our 52nd president. However, the editorial meant to
say that Bill Clinton is the United States' 42nd
president, and his inauguration was the country's
52nd inaugural.
