Over 90% of college students nationwide supported the use of air strikes
in Afghanistan when the boming began in October. Over 70% donated blood,
money, or volunteer time in response to the September 11th attacks. These
are just some of the statistics gathered by researchers from Harvard University,
who took the pulse of college campuses around the nation in the days and
weeks after the attack on the World Trade Center.
Unlike the Vietnam era, college students tended to more supportive of
military action overseas. This hour, Erin Ashwell, one of the researchers
from the Harvard study, discusses the mood on America's college campuses.
