Torch, Fall 2004

14 TORCH / Fall 2004 TORCH President Bush Rolls Through Cedarville W hile campaigning in southwest Ohio on Sept. 22, President George W. Bush and his entourage passed by campus along State Route 72. Hundreds of onlookers armed with Bush-Cheney signs from the College Republicans Club (CRC) crammed the parking lot of the Apple Technology Resource Center and nearby sidewalks to catch a glimpse of the president. He was seen waving from his bus and could be heard greeting the crowd. Matt Shiraki, this year’s CRC president, said, “President Bush’s ‘visit’ to Cedarville was truly exciting. By driving through a small town like Cedarville instead of taking the usual and quicker interstate routes, the campaign showed that they do care about even us supporters who live in the most rural areas.” news c a m p u s n e w s c a m p u s n e w s campus
