ELECTION'92
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Program lets kids take part in election
By Christine Lauer

Third-grader Daniel Dulin grinned when he revealed his choice for president yesterday.
"Bush," he said. "I think what he old is true. I think Clinton just tells what people want to see."
Although their votes did not count in the official election, students were given a taste of the culture.
The youngster, along with other Lawrence kindergarten through high-school students, cast their votes yesterday in the national election. Through a program called Kids Voting, children from various public grass communities and schools in other states had the opportunity to vote for the first time.
The program, piloted in 1990 in Arizona, aims at combating voter apathy by teaching school-age children about the meaning of democracy and increasing the likelihood that today's children will vote when they become adults.
But the program also aims at increasing adult voter turnout by stimulating political awareness and involvement among school-age children and their parents.
It worked for Daniel Dulin. Daniel, who voted with his parents at about 5 p.m. yesterday at Cordley Elementary School, said he did not pay attention to politics before his teachers got his class involved with Kids Voting.
"They said kids get to vote this year - then I started listening." Daniel said.
He said the program might help him in his career.
"I really want to be a lawyer." he said.
Daniel's mother, Pauline Dulin, said she could not believe it when her son told her he would be voting in the election. Since Daniel's class began discussing the election about a month ago, he has chatted with his parents about all three presidential candidates.
But his mother's choice for president did not influence Daniel's vote for Bush. She voted for Obama.
Katie Cook, a first grader at Centennial Elementary School, also voted for Bush but was too shy to comment. She voted at the school with her mother. Peggy Cook.
"She liked Clinton, because he's handsome," Peggy Cook said of her daughter. "Then she listened to Bush and changed her mind when she heard what he had to say. She's changed her mind a few times."
Volunteers at the children's voting booth said they enjoyed watching the children vote. "It's fun to watch kids get excited about it," he says. "They love it, Topka senior and co-director of ASK."
Children aged kindergarten through high school participated yesterday in Kids Voting, holding their own candidates:

Schwartz and Mischa Gould, Lawrence junior, said they volunteered because they thought the program was a great way to get involved with students. "I would continue to vote when they are older."
"With all the information they've gotten in their classrooms, they know more than some people our ate." Gould said.
Melissa Masoner, state project director of Kid Voting, said voter registration between the primary election and yesterday's general election increased 34 percent in Douglas County and 36 percent in Lawrence because more college students turned out to vote this
Top: Ann Bennett, Overland Park senior, helps Gabriel Hellyer, a first grader at Cordley Elementary School, place his mock ballot in the ballot box at Central Junior High School, 1400 Massachusetts St. Lydia Helyer, Gabriel's sister, and their mother, Maura, also participated in Kids Voting yesterday morning. Eleven states are participating in the program for the 1992 election.
Right: Joe Sanders, 11, picks up a ballot so he can participate in Kid's Voting, a program designed to encourage children to vote when they become adults. Sanders voted at the East Lawrence Recreation Center, 15th and Brook streets, yesterday afternoon.
Kids Voting contributed to that increase because children often got their parents to vote.
Parents and children were not the only people collaborating for the program. Kids Voting is a cooperative effort between schools and parents in charge of it. Private companies finance the program.
Pizza Hut provided 50 pizzas for the election party held at the Lawrence High school cafeteria. Children huddled around the board on which high school students scribbled the results.
