As the 2008 election season draws to a close, CNN has been sharing stories of voters across the United States and their observations on the race for the White House. The cable news outlet included comments from Elon senior Olivia Hubert-Allen, featured Oct. 29, 2008, as part of an online student digest on CNN.com.
Hubert-Allen leads The Pendulum student newspaper this fall as its editor in chief. In the CNN story, she expressed concern about the economy, and how she is trying to stay optimistic about finding a job after graduation.
“Everyone knows [the economy] is dismal, and everyone talks about howawful it is… but I don’t know many students, at this point, that feelpersonally affected by the economy,” she said.
