While some AU students spent Tuesday evening with campus political groups in the McDowell Formal Lounge or the Ward Building, others spent election night watching television coverage with friends or staying glued to the Internet, while still others avoided the news with homework. Sophomore Sara Farizan, who said she is an Independent who voted for John F. Kerry, roamed the sixth floor of McDowell Hall when election returns started coming in around 7:30 p.m. Farizan said she hoped to watch more coverage as the night progressed, but was unsure as to what channel to turn to.
