PSy<;hology Student Observes Other Side of Politics you were there. " Part of the excitement for Billingsley involved seeing and (continued on page 21 8) For some people , politics was a dirty word. They thought of politicians as corrupt , hypocritical individuals who were only out for themselves. Senior Cindy Billingsley used to think that , too. But she said that this summer , while attending the Republican National Convention August 23-26 in Dallas, she discovered that that viewpoint wasn't always so. Politicians could, in fact , be people who honestly cared about others, "I see them now as real people who have a real interest, a genuine interest , in the good of other people ," Billingsley said. Billingsley, a systems analysis and accounting major from Leemoore , Calif., and the treasurer of the University's College Republican chapter, attended the convention as a guest of the Arkansas delegation. Going to the convention , she decided , was "one of the best things I've done for myself to understand politics. " She added that now she was glad she became involved in politics. "It's a positive thing," she explained. "You're all just working together for what you believe in_" She compared the political party to the church: "You're together with a bunch of people who believe in pretty much the same thing, and they're going in the same direction _" Billingsley decided last spring to attend the convention after Mike Johnson, a UniverSity student and vice-chairman of the Arkansas College Republicans , told her that he had guest passes available for the convention. Johnson attended the convention as an alternate delegate. As a guest , Billingsley was given passes for each session and traveled back and forth between the hotel and the convention on the delegation buses. She said they were guarded carefully , and the security at the convention center was very tight. She noted that because of the security and traveling on the delegation buses , she did not really see any of the protesters who also converged on Dallas for the week. Although she missed the protests , her week was still full of excitement. She said there were signs at the convention center saying, "GOP-Dallas- '84, The best party ever. " "And it really was," she said . "Everyone was so excited. You felt the eRergy the whole time Being Prepared.
