GOP leader to speak about
Republican Party’s future
By CAREY O’NEIL
The Red & Black
A strong, widely accessi
ble message is key for the
future of the Republican
Party, a Republican National
Committee member from
Georgia said Tuesday.
“What we need to do first
of all is define the message
of the RNC, because some of
the elected officials that
we’ve sent to D.C. have not
stayed on message,” said-
Linda Herren, who will
speak at the College
Republicans meeting
tonight.
Herren is one of 168
Republicans on the commit
tee, which will decide at the
end of this month the next
national Republican Party
chairman.
“We need to get our mes
sage out, especially to the
young people and the minor
ities, that we are the party of
fiscal responsibility and so
forth,” she said in a tele
phone interview Tuesday.

“Some people have said our
brand has become tainted
and people don’t know what
we stand for.”
Greg Wilson, a sophomore
from Marietta
and chairman
of the College
Republicans,
said explain
ing values is
important.
“I think
the role is
really to
rebuild the
party,” Wilson
said in a
HERREN
phone interview Tuesday.
“The values we have are
just fine, it’s just explaining
those values to people,” he
said.
Herren said she saw sev
eral areas where the
Republican Party needs to
improve.
“There were many factors
that contributed to our loss
es, not only in the White
House, but across the coun
try. One of those factors was
the technology issues. The
RNC just didn’t utilize what
it had.”
“We also need to reach
out to youth,” Wilson said.
“If the Republican Party
doesn’t start reaching out to
college kids, there will be a
gap in conservatives in my
generation.”
Matt Ralston, a freshman
and public relations director
for the College Republicans,
said this election is critical
because it will help define
the Republican Party over
the next several years.
“I think the [Republican
Party’s] role nationally is to
respectfully object to the
President-elect. We support
President-elect Obama, but
obviously we have different
ideas,” Ralston said in a
phone interview Tuesday.
“You may not like what
President Obama is trying
to push through Congress,
so here’s an alternative.”
The meeting is tonight at
7 in room 214 of the Miller
Learning Center.

This would not only
restore the aesthetic
touch of North Campus,
but create solutions
applicable to other land

the University’s labs
already have accepted
makeovers.

cool laboratory equip

Such actions have
saved the University an

month, Crowe said.
Energy conservation
is also important in
reducing water usage,

professor of hydrology
