Thuis. October 9 olitics and marketing are not often thought of as similar fields of study or profession. Thomas Love got his degree in politics from the U and is now the president of Love Communications, a marketing firm that works on political campaigns. Love gave a lecture in LNCO on Tuesday about how his degree in political science helps him provide marketing for political campaigns. "[The U] helped foster my love of politics," Love said. "My classes with J.D. Williams were some of the greatest classes I've ever had." Cristi Wetterberg, development specialist from the Dean's office of Social and Behavioral Science, organized the event so students could understand how marketing goes into a political campaign. "We really wanted to just bring [Love] back to campus," Wetterberg said. "So students could really get first-hand experience from someone in the marketing arena as well as CARTOON BY RORY PENMAN political campaigns." Wetterberg said he thinks Love Communications has made a difference in elections. "Hopefully students will be able to see that they can get involved in many other ways," Wetterberg said. "Politics can be fun." TODAY T PRODUCE GET THE UP WITH SOME CHOCOLATE Or some caramels.

Love said the goal of the lecture was to offer students an alternative view of where they could take their degree from the U after graduation. "I hope they learn that if they get involved in politics, they've got a strategy or an angle that will make them better," he said. "No idea is silly — all ideas can be big." Love said he encourages students to get involved in elections. Brandi Johnson, a junior in strategic communication, said she learned more about marketing in politics, a subject she said she did not have much prior knowledge about. "I don't really know where I want to go with marketing, so [the lecture] definitely opened my eyes to different directions you can go," Johnson said. t.olsen@chronicle.utah.edu @Tyler Olsen14 ARE CORPORATIONS PEOPLE, TOO? BY KATRINA VASTAG /STAFF WRITER PHOTO BY KIFFER CREVELING SPICE YOUR Love focused his lecture on some of his recent campaigns, such as the Ben McAdams county mayor campaign and district attorney Sim Gill's re-election campaign. Love described some of the methods his firm uses and how they try to make their campaigns stand out from all the others. "You have to push the envelope to really break through and communicate:' Love said. Love said standing out is Love Communications' greatest difficulty. He also said the firm's strategy has been to sway voters who stand in the middle ground. Currently, the firm represents Doug Owens, who is campaigning for the 4th congressional district against Mia Love. Thomas Love also identified phrases and slogans his team created that have been imitated by other politicians. For Sim Gill's campaign, the firm used the slogan "Restoring the Public Trust." Love said Gov. Herbert and other politicians have since used this phrase in campaigns and public appearances. Mitch Tate, a senior in communication, said he found the lecture stimulating and thought-provoking. "He had some good insights," Tate said. "He was taking into account every little thing and every thought that people were possibly having he 31st annual Fordham Debate ended in a stalemate. Debaters argued Tuesday night whether a corporation should be considered a person under the U.S. Constitution. Kent Greenfield, professor of law at Boston College, argued in favor of corporate personhood. Jeff Clements, co-founder of Free Speech for People, argued against. Clements said corporations are entities and therefore should not receive rights specifically stated in the Constitution for people. "Every time we see the word 'people' in the constitution, it is used as a reference to human beings': he said. "Essential human activities of religion and speech should not apply to an entity" He said corporations are often seen metaphorically as people when operating under state law, such as when signing a contract. But he argued this can cause real harm to U.S. citizens, particularly through minimum wage laws. Greenfield said corporations deserve the rights laid out in the First Amendment, especially the freedoms of speech, religion and press. Organizations such as universities, publications and non-profit companies are corporations that Greenfield said need to have some constitutional rights in order to operate. Without constitutional rights, he said, the government could limit companies from printing unwanted press about political leaders and could control what information was released to the public. But he did concede that not all rights are applicable to a corporation. The personhood notion is a red herring:' Greenfield said. "Corporations cannot sit on juries, cannot vote, cannot possibly have all the rights of human beings': Jeff Schwartz, a professor in the U's College of Law, moderated the event and said he thought the topic was important and necessary to examine from both standpoints. "I think it depends on the situation and which rights are being applied to a corporation:' he said. "It's sometimes useful to consider corporations as people. I think not considering corporations as people at all is an overgeneralization." Around 275 people attended the debate this year, with an overflow room set up for those who did not fit into the auditorium. The debate was also streamed live on the College of Law's website. Thulasi Seshan, a freshman in physics, said she attended the debate because she plans to pursue a law degree after graduating. "I mostly came to be informed and hear what both debaters had to say": Seshan said. "Honestly, I don't think corporations should be seen as people in the Constitution. I think that's an original violation of the bullet rights.There's not a lot of getting around that" She said Greenfield had a point that corporations deserve protection against govern- mental power but does not agree that the solution is to consider corporations congruent to people. "Corporations do need their own rights:' she said. "But the Constitution's rights are for people, not institutions." k.vastag@chronicle.utah.edu @katrinavastag |
