Department of Health and Human Services is attempting to abolish rules and regulations that allow health care workers to refuse to perform abortions or other medical procedures because of moral objections. A variety of Catholic organizations. including the Catholic Health Association. which represents over 2000 Catholic health care sponsors, systems. hospitals, long-term care facilities, and related organizations have strongly criticized this proposal. The Catholic Church hierarchy has stated plainly that any attempt to force Catholic health care professionals to perform medical procedures contrary to Catholic moral beliefs will cause them to seriously consider closing all Catholic hospitals in the United States. If such closures were to actually take place. it could cause a catastrophic decline in health care availability across the country. especially in some of our inner cities where Catholic hospitals are the only health care facilities available. it is estimated that about on-third of all hospitals in the US. are af?liated with the Catholic Church.

The airwaves were saturated with political ads denouncing politics as usual and promising a bright new direction for the nation. Unity and bipartisanship were guaranteed by the two campaigns. Mr. McCain stressed his experience. especially in foreign policy matters. while Mr. Obama stressed his commitment to a new direction for the country. His at times soaring rhetoric captivated much of the nation. and his fresh. youthful approach to politics endeared him to millions of everyday folks, eSpeciaiiy young people. Regardless of your personal opinion. the eight years of the Bush Administration left most Americans hungry for change. The war in Iraq. whiie ?nally taking a turn for the better, the corruption on Wall Street. and the sagging economy were just a few of the problems Republicans faced in November of 2008. The President suffered from the worst approval ratings since the Truman Administration. The results on Election Day were a stunning repudiation of the past eight years. Republicans lost across the board at every level and Barack Obama became the ?rst African-American President of the United States. even carrying three states of the ?old south.? Now that President Obama is in the White House. he will have to actually govern. ?Campaign rhetoric". as he himself calls it. must give way to public policy and the harsh realities of governing the greatest and most powerful nation on earth. Already. there are signs that President Obama is going to be different than candidate Obama. There has been llttie movement to withdraw troops from Iraq. very little is being said about ?xing heaithcare. and the federal government is facing trillion dollar de?cits for years to come. To the dismay of many in the far left of his own party. President Obama?s potential cabinet is full of Clinton era personalities. Are we witnessing the politics of the future? Is this the kind of change that was promised during the campaign? Will political realities allow President Obama to follow through on being a post- partisan president? How will President Obama both reach across the aisle to govern with Republicans and keep from alienating the constituencies that got him elected? Will Americans hold the President accountable for making good on his promises? Should they hold him accountable?

Below is an excerpt from the President's speech on September detailing the events that have led us to this point. ?For more than a decade. a massive amount of money ?owed into the United States from investors abroad because our country is an attractive and secure place to do business. This large in?ux of money to U.S. banks and ?nancial institutions. along with low interest rates. made it easier for Americans to get credit. These developments allowed more families to borrow money for cars. homes. and college tuition. some for the ?rst time. They allowed more entrepreneurs to get loans to start new businesses and create jobs. Unfortunately. there were also some serious negative consequences. particularly in the housing market. Easy credit. combined with the faulty assumption that home values would continue to rise. led to excesses and bad decisions. Many mortgage lenders approved loans for borrowers without carefully examining their ability to pay. Many borrowers took out loans for larger than they could afford. assuming that they could sell or re?nance their homes at a higher price later on. Optimism about housing values also led to a boom in home construction. Eventually. the number of new houses exceeded the number of people willing to buy them. And with supply exceeding demand. housing prices fell. and this created a problem. Borrowers with adjustable-rate mortgages. who had been planning to sell or re?nance their homes at a higher price. were stuck with homes worth less than expected. along with mortgage payments they could not afford. As a result. many mortgage-holders began to default. These widespread defaults had effects far beyond the housing market See. in today's mortgage industry. home loans are often packaged together and converted into ?nancial products called mortgage-backed securities. These securities were sold to investors all around the world. Many investors assumed these securities trustworthy and asked few questions about their actual value. Two of the leading purchasers of mortgage-backed securities were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because these companies were chartered by Congress. many believed they were guaranteed by the federal government. This allowed them to borrow enormous sums of money. fuel the market for questionable investments. and put our ?nancial system at risk. The decline in the housing market set off a domino effect across our economy. When home values declined. borrowers defaulted on their mortgages. and investors holding mortgage-backed securities began to incur serious losses. Before long. these securities became so unreliable that they were not being bought or sold. investment banks. such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. found themselves saddled with large amounts of assets they could not sell. They ran out of money needed to meet their immediate obligations. and they faced imminent collapse. Other banks found themselves in severe ?nancial trouble. These banks began holding on to their money, and lending dried up. and the gears of the American ?nancial system began grinding to a halt.? The plan being discussed would focus on using taxpayer money to buy bad mortgage-related investments from banks. pension funds, and government. The goal of the plan is to free up cash so that banks can revive their lending abilities and continue to provide credit to businesses. individuals. and other banks. Who is responsible for the crisis we now face and why? Do individuals bear any responsibility for making poor decisions and over-extending themselves by borrowing too much money to buy homes and other goods they couldn't afford? Are the banks to blame for lending the money? Or is it the governments fault for encouraging banks to make these loans to the people that the banks knew were credit risks. Do you believe the crisis is as bad as many are saying? Does the government need to get involved? is there a point at which the government needs to rescue failed businesses? Should taxpayers be forced to pay for the poor investment decisions of businesses? Do you favor or Oppose the bail out? Why or why not? Do you think the plan that Congress is considering will adequately address the problems that our ?nancial industry is facing? if this plan doesn't solve the problems. what alternatives does the government have to address this crisis? Have either of the Presidential candidates shown proper leadership on this issue? Which candidate has a better plan to address the nation's economic woes?

Charges and counter charges, especially from surrogates in the two camps, have become more intense, as well as more personal in nature. The most recent charge, from James Carville, that New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (who served in President Bill Clinton?s administration) is a Judas for endorsing Senator Obama, comes on the heels of very controversial remarks made by Clinton supporter Geraldine Ferraro and Obama supporter (and former Pastor) Jeremiah Wright. Obama supporters accuse the Clinton campaign of playing the race card and Clinton supporters question how Senator Obama could not have been aware of the incendiary comments of his former pastor. Senator McCain has also had supporters express ?politically incorrect? views. Are the publically stated views of candidates? spiritual leader relevant in a Presidential campaign? Are the comments of surrogate speakers an accurate expression of the candidate?s thoughts? Do you think race will play a big role in the remaining primary contests? How about during the general election in NOVember if Senator Obama is the Democratic nominee? Why or why not? What about gender if Senator Clinton is the nominee?

Thursday Tuesday January?s Question: Although acts of terrorism are not new to the civilized world, they seem to be much more commonplace than in years past. The debate on who or what is the main cause for this increase in terrorist activity seems to center around, at least in the United States and Western Europe, ?militant Islamic terrorism.? Many people claim that Islam is an inherently violent religion. They site all of the current terrorist acts committed in the name of Islam as proof of this. Others say this is totally false, that Islam is in face a very peace?il and loving religion. They also point out the long history of violence committed throughout the ages by Christians in the name of Christianity. Do you think it is fair to characterize Islam as a violent religion? Why or why not? Who do you think should be held responsible for the ever increasing acts of violence committed by extremists in the name of Allah? Why? What role do you think American foreign policy plays in the attitude of much of the Islamic world toward the United States and the non Islamic world in general? February?s Question: There has long been debate in the United States regarding the criminal justice system and whether or not it is administered fairly. Many people believe the poor in general and minorities in particular were given the ?short end of the stick" when it came to the administration of justice. There can be little diSpute that historically poor people and persons of color often fared fare worse than their wealthier or white counterparts charged with similar criminal offenses. Today however, most people believe these inequalities have been largely recti?ed. Some people even believe the system now favors the ?have nots? in society. They cite the very tough sentences being handed down for ?white collar" crimes and the seemingly lesser jail times often handed down now for crimes of violence. Do you think the criminal justice system is now applied more fairly than it used to be? Why or why not? Do you agree or disagree with those who believe the system now favors the ?have nets" in society? What do you think is a fair sentence fro someone convicted of ?insider trading" in the stock market? What about rape, murder, or other violent crimes? Has anyone ever perpetrated a crime or an act of violence against you or anyone you know? If so, how did you react to it? Was the criminal justice system administered fairly? March?s Question New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is the latest in a long line of public of?cials to ?fall from grace" because of personal behavior problems. Within the last two years alone, several high pro?le elected of?ce holders have been forced from of?ce for reasons ranging from corruption, such as bribery, graft and money laundering, to inappropriate sexual misdeeds, adultery, and prostitution. In the case of Governor Spitzer, his detractors have made much of his public persona as ?Mr. Clean? who made a career of bringing down the ?bad guys" while he was Attorney General of New York. They point out his hypocrisy and moral indiscretions as reasons why he should not continue as Governor of New York. He may also be guilty of criminal misconduct as a result of his involvement with prostitution. Should the personal lives of elected of?cials be subject to public scrutiny? Why or why not? Should public of?cials be held to a higher standard of ethics and morality than the general pepulation? Why or why not? Do you think sexual misconduct by an elected of?cial, such as adultery or soliciting for prostitution, should be cause for removal from of?ce in the way that corruption such as graft, bribery, or money laundering usually are? Why or why not? As you have been traveling to some of our nation?s most historic sites, how do you think some of our nation?s earlier heroes would have stood up to the scrutiny of the 24-hour news cycle and the gotcha politics so often practiced by today?s media and political pundits? 9123/2008 bk September 27 Thursday September 27 Thursday October 8 Monday October 8 Monday October 22 Monday November Thursday November 1 Thursday November 13 Monday Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Autumn Quarter 2007 ?Kasich Question of the Month" for First Year Mount Scholars Discussion with Students - September?s Question Mount Leadership Society Communication 614 Issues in Political Communication Professor William ?Chip?

They have been seen and heard for as long as there have been campuses. The appearance of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia University last week is a perfect example. Those who support inviting highly controversial Speakers like the Iranian President to speak on campuses across the country claim that academia is a ?marketplace of ideas that must be kept unfettered.? Others claim Speakers like Mr. Ahmadinejad provide no real academic value and are strictly ?show business." To complicate matters further, there appear to be no real established standards at our institutions of higher learning regarding the kinds of Speakers that Should be invited to Speak on campus. Regardless of your personal opinion of Mr. Ahmadinejad, do you think inviting him to Speak at Columbia was a good or bad idea? Why? How important is ?free Speech" to you, both as a student and a citizen of the United States? Should free speech by extended to those who are not US. citizens? Does he Speech include the right to in?ame passions that might lead to violence or the destruction of preperty? Why or why not? Can there ever be a time when the opinion of an individual is so offensive to the vast majority of those hearing it that it should not be permitted to be spoken? Should it matter if there iS no real ?educational value" to having a particular speaker invited to campus? November?s Kasich Question of the Month: With the 2008 presidential election fast approaching, the time has come to start thinking about the candidates in both parties and where you stand regarding them. After eight years of the Bush Administration, an unpopular war in Iraq, rising fuel prices, and worry over health care, most pundits are predicting a good year for Democrats from the White House to the courthouse. Others say not so fast. There have been no more attacks on the United States, the economy continues to grow and we are ?nally making some positive progress in Iraq. Do you consider yourself a partisan Democrat or Republican, or do you consider yourself a true independent? Are there any candidates that you particularly do not like? Why? What factors are going to most in?uence your decision when you go to the ballot box both next March in whichever primary you vote and next November in the general election? If the election were today, which candidate would you vote for and why?

Lazenby Hall 3:30 pm - 5:18 pm lung-.? I. - - April?s Kasich Question of the Month: in recent years it seems to have become very fashionable In our increasingly secular society, eSpeclally during the Christmas and Easter seasons. to debunk. mock or denigrate Christianity in general and practicing Christians in particular. The success of books like the Da-Vmci Code, and the plethora of anti Christian movles like Dogma. and The Last Temptation of Christ are a few examples of the sort of treatment given all things Christian in some circles today. Televislon personalities like Bill Maher, George Carlln and Rosie O'Donnell. to name some. take deiight in Christianity. Humor is often the vehicle used to mock all things Christian. but sometimes the attacks are bitingly vicious and personal. Many new and sometimes "recycled" archaeological "discoveries" are perennially dragged out at these times of year attempting to cast doubt on long held Christian beliefs. These storles are zealously pursued in the media perhaps because of the ratings that they generate. Whether or not you are a Christian. do you think the deeply held religious beliefs of practicing Christlans should be fair game for books, movies and late night television? ls Christianity being unfairly singled out? Do you society would ?nd the placing of a Star of David or a depiction of Muhammad in a jar of urine as an acceptable expression of art. or is it only acceptable when it is a Christian Cross or an image of the Virgin Mary? What do you personally think about this type of art? Do you think there is a double standard when it comes to being "politically correct"? Do you think these examples are part of a larger effort to discredit Christianlty, or are Christians being too sensitive to this kind of art and entertainment? 3/20/07 kg January January 6 Saturday January 22 Monday January 22 Monday February February 5 Monday February 6 Tuesday February 19 Friday March 1 Thursday Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Winter Quarter 2007 ?Kasich Question of the Month? for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society January?s Question: Live production of ?From the Heartland with John Kasich.?

January?s Question: Having just celebrated Martin Luther King Day. it seems appropriate to think about his legacy in more detail. especially as it pertains to the age old question of whether or not "bad" or "unjust" laws should be obeyed. Throughout history mankind has struggled With the answer to this question. St. Augustine declared that unjust laws need not be obeyed. The list of names of those who resisted injustice or unfairness in the law is extensive. in the United States alone the civil rights movement of the 1950's and 60's provides us with a long list of citizens who chose to engage in civil disobedience rather than obey laws that discriminated against persons of color in this country. Rosa Parks and her refusal to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery. Alabama led to the now famous bus boycott that ultimately ended with the integration of city buses in . Montgomery. Mrs. Parks was just one person who had the courage to resist injustice in the law. There were many others who risked jail. abuse and even death to bring about equity in the law as it pertained to race. Have you ever talked to your parents or grandparents about the civil rights movement of the 50's and 60's? How important do you think the civil disobedience of people like Dr. King and Rosa Parks was in ending Jim Crow laws in this country? Are there any laws on the books today that you would be willing to go to jail to change? if so. what are they? Can you envision any future laws that would cause you to seriously consider going to jail rather than obey? Have you read Dr. King's letters from a Birmingham jail? if so. what did you think? February?s Question: More than 3000 Americans have lost their lives in iraq to date ?ghting a war that has become widely unpopular throughout the country. While this seemingly endless con?ict commands a great deal of attention in the media, it often pails in comparison by the attention given to, and the excitement generated by, any news regarding the icons of our nations pop culture. Americans' fascination with the private lives of celebrities in our country is nothing short of phenomenal. Madonna adopts a baby from Africa and controversy over the details ?lls the airways for weeks. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie create the same sort of media frenzy with their foreign adoptions. The marriage of Tom Cruise to Katie Holmes and the birth of their child was headline making news for weeks as well. The ongoing war of words between Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell continues to titillate and excite the general public. Now. the sudden death of Anna Nicole Smith seams to have become the big news of the day. The list goes on and on. What causes this fascination with the private lives of the "rich and famous"? Do you think people are really interested in these kinds of stories. or do you think the interest is created by the entertainment industry? Should the media cover these types of stories?

While virtually all citizens of the United States condemned the attacks on New York City and Washington. DC, there has never been uniformity from the general population on how best to deal with the possibility of future attacks. Just how far should government be able to go in order to protect the country from new acts of terrorism? The latest "hot" debate on the subject centers around the question of wiretapping. President Bush strongly defends the legality and necessity of the National Security Agency's (NSA) domestic eavesdropping program. which he authorized in 2002 to permit some wiretapping without court warrants. In 1973. Congress passed the Foreign intelligence Surveillance Act it requires intelligence agencies to obtain a warrant before snooping on communications involving persons." Claiming he has broad war making powers conferred on the president by Article 2 of the Constitution and by a post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing the use of force to combat global terror, President Bush repeatedly authorized eavesdropping without warrants on about 500 Americans a day. This admission by the president has stirred a huge hornets nest among liberals and civil libertarians regarding privacy issues. Should the president have the power because of national security interests to spy on American citizens without a court order? Do you think the president's actions will have a lasting impact on the checks and balances set forth by the constitution to protect the individual rights of American citizens? Do you support the president's position. or do you agree with those who say he has clearly violated the law? Are you willing to sacri?ce some of your constitutionally provided liberties in order to feel more safe? if so, which ones? Why? What might be some of the long term consequences of giving up constitutionally guaranteed liberties in order to be safe from terrorism? Will doing so really make us safe from terrorism? Tell us what you think. February?s Kasich Question of the Month: "Pork barrel spending" is a long standing. cherished practice in both houses of the US. Congress. it is widely practiced by both Democrats and Republicans and has no "liberal" or "conservative" ideology. Brie?y de?ned, "pork" is any "ear marked" expenditure of money for projects designed to bene?t a particular State or Congressional District. Many times, these add-ens have nothing lo do with the legislation originally proposed. and are referred to by Members of Congress as "bringing home the bacon." Of course. those Members of Congress who successfully manage to include add-one to a bill claim it is not "pork." but essential legislation that benefits many people in his/her state or Congressional district. Legislation dealing with military construction and the Department of Transportation is by far the most likely to include massive attempts by members to add on "ear marks" for particular states or districts. For ?scal year 2006. the appropriations committees themselves claim at least 17 billion dollars worth of programs were earmarked by Members of Congress in various appropriation bills. Other sources put the number at closer to $29 billion. With de?cits and federal spending at all time highs, do you think members of congress should show more restraint when spending tax dollars on pet projects for particular states or districts (even on projects)? Or do you believe elected representatives of the people should continue to do everything they can for the bene?t of their states and districts regardless of the costs and higher de?cits? Why or why not? Where do you draw the line on legitimate government spending versus "pork?" Should Congress spend money on museums. parking lots, bridges, tourist attractions, . landscaping, graffiti elimination and ?lm documentaries. or would these types of prejects better be funded by state and local governments or private enterprise? Why?

The city of New Orleans and the plight of its citizens have gotten the bulk of the press coverage world wide. The blame game and ?nger pointing have been under way for some time now. Who really Is to blame? First, one needs to know that New Orleans is below sea level and is protected by a series of levees and canals from the surrounding Gulf of Mexico, Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain. The levees were constructed to withstand a category 3 hurricane. Katrina was a strong category 4 hurricane. Studies by the Corps of Engineers predicted, with certainty. that the city of New Orleans was a disaster waiting to happen if steps were not taken to strengthen the levees. The New Orleans Times Picayune ran a series of stories in 2002 detailing what would happen to the city if such a storm ever occurred. It did occur. The devastating results have been biblical in scope and questions abound: Why were so many people unprepared for this storm? Normally, local authorities are the ?rst responders to disasters like Katrina. followed by the state and then the federal governments. Why weren't local of?cials prepared to take immediate action to help the poor evacuate the city? The city had a plan on paper. but for some reason it never get fully implemented. Why did the state government fail to send in the National Guard as soon as the seriousness of the situation became known? What took the federal government so long to become engaged? Why did FEMA fail so badly in carrying out its responsibilities? Some people have charged that President Bush would have acted more quickly and with more vigor had the city of New Orleans been less poor and less African American in its make up, that the poor always get less attention than affluent areas during dif?cult times. Do you believe this to be true? Why or why not?

January?s Kasich Question of the Month: Once again, scandal has attached itself to the football program at Ohio State. This time, star quarterback Troy Smith is the focus of an investigation that not only involves players, but also a wealthy booster of the Ohio State football program. According to an article in the December 28th issue of the Columbus Dispatch, Robert Q. Baker, the booster in question, has apparently engaged in similar gift giving to student athletes in the past. All student athletes are well informed of NCAA and university rules regarding the taking of gifts. There can be no ambiguity in the minds of athletes or boosters concerning these rules, yet violations of these rules continue to be uncovered at institutions of higher learning throughout the land. They have become part of an ever growing national and international scandal involving sports at virtually every level ?'om Little League to the Olympic Games. Who deserves the blame for the violations attributed to Troy Smith and other student athletes caught in similar situations? 15 the athlete in question solely reaponsible for loiowingly breaking the rules? What about the booster who tempted him? How much blame should be placed on the booster? Is one more guilty than the other, or are they equally guilty? Does the university share any responsibility for not keeping tighter control over student athletes? Is the athletic department, especially the football program, too easy going when it comes to enforcing its own regulations regarding players and boosters? Should criminal penalties be imposed on boosters and alumni who knowingly violate these rules and regulations? Where was the leadership that should have prevented this abuse from ever having taken place? Tell us what you think. February?s Kasich Question of the Month: First the Columbus City Council, and on November 2nd the people, voted to ban smoking in public places of business in the city of Columbus. While most citizens of Columbus applaud this decision, some folks, especially smokers and many bar and restaurant owners, bitterly oppose this ban as an in??ingement on their constitutional rights to smoke or allow smoking in their establishments. Even some peeple who don't smoke have reservations about denying citizens the right to smoke as long as smoking itself is not illegal. 0n the other hand, some smokers support the ban. Clearly, smoking has been proven to be a health risk for those who smoke. Second hand smoke may also be a serious health risk How do you feel about the smoking ban? Should owners of bars and restaurants have the right to permit smoking in their establishments if they choose to do so? Why or why not? Should non- smokers be able to determine whether or not smokers should be able to "light up" just becauSe they are the majority of the population? Should one persons right to breathe smoke free an? while having dinner in a restaurant trump the right of another diner to enjoy a smoke in the same restaurant? And what about the philosophical questions involved - should the government be telling people what they can and cannot do in general? 15 it a good precedent for the majority to impose their will on the minority? Tell us what you think. March?s Kasich Question of the Month: One of the "hottest" and most controversial political issues in the country today is the future of Social Security. Nearly everyone concedes the program is in need of "shoring up" at the very least. Many people, including President Bush, believe strongly that unless steps are taken now to the problem, the system will be unable to remain viable after 2024. The President, and others who share his view that SS is going bankrupt, want to allow participants in the program to invest a small portion of their SS taxes in the stock market. They believe this will permanently guarantee the solvency of the program as well as provide a much greater return on investments then is currently the case. People 55 and older would be exempt from this new system, and there would be absolutely no change in the way they receive their bene?ts. Most opponents of the private investment proposal for SS argue that while some changes in the program are inevitable, the President's idea to privatize a small portion of the money paid into the system through SS taxes would undermine and jeopardize the entire system. Instead, they argue for adjusanents in the system like raising payroll taxes on the wealthy, reducing bene?ts for some recipients, or raising the retirement age for bene?ciaries. Some strong supporters of the current system do not favor any changes at all. They argue that the system is solvent until at least 2040 or more, and any "tinkering" with it would cause irreparable harm to future recipients. What do you think about the future of Social Security? Are you confident it will be here for you when you reach retirement age if no changes are made in it at all? What do you think of the President's proposal to allow younger Americans the opportunity to invest a small portion of their payroll taxes in the stock market in order to have a "bigger-pot" to draw from at retirement? Do you think this is the answer to the "problem" of SS, or do you think this is a dangerous and unworkable solution? Have you ever talked to your parents or grandparents about their feelings (fears) regarding Social Security? Even though current "seniors" would be exempted from the Bush proposal, polls show overwhelming opposition to any changes in the system by older Americans. Why? Do you think they understand the President's proposal and just don't like it, or have they been "brainwashed" by groups like What changes, if any, would you make in the current system? 4/ 12/05 bk October October 16 October 19 Tuesday October 19 Tuesday October 25 Monday October 25 Monday October 28 Thursday October 28 Thursday Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Autumn Quarter 2004 ?Kasich Question of the Month" for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society October?s Question: Election opportunity, procedures, and practices Live Production of ?From the Heartland with John Kasic Public Policy and Management Students attend taping of television show to get ?rsthand knowledge of TV production and the opportunity to interact wIJohn Kasich.

In this hotly contested race, both sides are bracing for a potential ?ght to be waged in the courts. The campaigns have teams" of lawyers and political operatives on-call, ready to move into battleground states to shape public perception and challenge every voting irregularity. One Kerry aide said there will be 10,000 lawyers out in the battleground states on election day." Democrats are saying that Republicans in some places are trying to suppress the vote. Republicans say they only want to be sure that rules are being followed. Both sides say they want to be sure everyone gets a chance to vote and get their vote counted. Even here in Ohio there have been problems. Secretary of State Blackwell has been criticized for his directives concerning provisional ballots which have prompted a Federal Judge to say that Mr. Blackwell's actions amount to a "failure to do his duty." There have also been legal skirmishes over voter registration and the voting methods many counties use. There is little doubt that no matter what the outcome on November 2, both sides will have ample ammunition to mount a legal battle to stake their claim to the highest of?ce in the land. Do you agree with the statement "everyone should have the opportunity to vote, and every vote should be counted?" Why or Why not? In an election that many believe will come down to voter turnout, do you believe that there are systematic efforts on either side to suppress votes in certain precincts? Should Americans be willing to turn their elections process over to teams of lawyers? If this election is as close as the election in 2000, do you think the Supreme Court will be the ?nal arbiter again? If so. what would be the long term impact of such a litigious end to two consecutive elections? Tell us what you think. November?s Kasich Question of the Month: Now that President Bush has won reelection to a second term, many of his supporters are calling on him to push a more conservative agenda during the next four years. They cite his clear majority of the pepular vote as well as Republican gains in the House and Senate as proof that the country has given him a mandate to pursue the things he promised while campaigning. Among the more controversial promises was his commitment to appoint more "strict constructiomsts" to the Federal Courts. There could be as many as four vacancies on the Supreme Court over the next four years. If the President nominated "strict constructionists" to these potential vacancies, and the Senate con?rmed the nominations, there is a good chance several court decisions from prior courts could be overturned or modi?ed. Among these are Roe v. Wade, Miranda, and some Af?rmative Action decisions to name just a few. Liberals and civil libertarians argue that decisions like those above are long established precedents and should not be tampered with. They say that to do so would undermine civil liberties and reverse the hard fought gains of minorities, women and the poor. Conservatives counter that many of these precedents should never have been established to begin with; that they were brought about by judges who were creating laws rather than interpreting the constitution. They also cite Plessy v. Ferguson, the 1892 Supreme Court decision establishing the doctrine of separate but equal, as a long standing precedent (and a very bad one) that was not overturned until Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. With the country as seemingly divided as ever over our national leaders. should the president appoint "strict to the Federal Courts, or should he appoint judges who will continue to maintain the status quo as it relates to the previously mentioned court decisions?

However, Canadian courts recently ruled that ?le sharing was not illegal under Canadian copyright laws. And now, a recent study by two economics professors (one at Harvard Business School at one at the University of North Carolina) analyzing the e?'ect of ?le sharing on record sales, claims that the negative e?'ect on sales is statistically zero. Do you believe electronic ?le sharing of copyrighted material is illegal? Do you believe it should be illegal if it is not? And even if it is not illegal, does that make it morally right? A?er all, the artist records the music to sell, not to give away. Or is ?le sharing a practice akin to photocopying a few pages ?our a book at the library, and only the technology is dtferent? Kasich Question of the Month May 2004 Recent allegations of American soldiers in Iraq torturing and humiliating Iraqi prisoners, has made headlines across the globe. There seems to be widespread agreement that some sort of abuse did in fact take place. The only question appears to be how bad and how extensive was the misconduct. As Americans, we have always prided ourselves on the claim that our military forces never engaged in this sort of disgusting behavior. The repercussions of these actions by a few soldiers, has already been felt around the world. Anti-American sentiment, already high in the Arab world, has "gone through the roo if the charges prove to be true. what action should our government take to correct the problem? How should the soldiers involved be punished? To what extent should these soldiers? commanders be held accountable even if they were not aware of this conduct? What can the United States do to regain the high moral ground in our relations with other countries, especially countries with large Moslem populations?

Kasich Question of the Month January 2004 With the Iowa Caucuses less than two weeks away and the New Hampshire primary only a month the 2004 presidential election is well under way. In truth. the 2004 presidential contest between President Bush and his yet to be named Democrat opponent started almost immediately after the bitterly contested 2000 election ended For Republicans, this year's primary season is pretty much a forgone conclusion. But, for Democrats, the race has been anything but forgone or dull. The national media has been covering the Democratic candidates extensively for the better part of two years. Initially the coverage seems to be all about money and each candidate 's?mdraising prowess. Then the polls start. Virtually every day there are new polls telling all of us who is leading, who is in second place, who is poised to strike, who does not have a chance, who is thinking of getting in and who is thinking of getting out. Listening to the various media outlets, one might begin to wonder why we are even going to hold these primary elections. Without a single vote being cast to date, the media seems to have anointed Governor Dean as the Democratic nominee. In addition to this, the primary season is so front loaded with "must win states that by March, the entire selection process will be over, making the rest of the primaries and the party conventions virtually meaningless. Do you think media coverage so far in advance of the early caucuses and primaries is excessive? Is it fair that less than 100, 000 caucus voters in Iowa and fewer than 15 0,000 voters in New Hampshire will probably determine who the Democrats nominate president before voters in other states even go to the polls? What do you think of a national primary day where all of the states hold their presidential primaries on the some day? Tell us what you think. Kasich Question of the Month February 2004 The Ohio Legislature just passed legislation banning same-sex unions. The bill is modeled on federal legislation approved by Congress in 996 in which declares marriage is between a man and a woman. However, the Ohio legislation goes beyond the federal act, and most of the defense of marriage acts passed by other states, by denying state benefits to domestic partners of the same or opposite sex. It also prohibits the state ?'om recognizing any ?joublic act, record or judicial proceeding" from any jurisdiction that extends the benefits of marriage to non-marital unions. Supporters of the ban say the legislation is needed to preserve the traditional sanctity of marriage as an act between a man and a woman. They argue that recent court decisions in Texas, Canada and Massachusetts have made a mockery of marriage and will lead to moral decay in society (flex? unchecked. They also argue that the courts have no legitimate jurisdiction in this matter, that they are attempting to legislate their liberal social agenda ?'om the bench and that the people of the country are overwhelmingly against legitimizing homosexual marriages. Those who support legalizing gay marriages, or same-sex civil unions, argue that homosexuals should have the same legal rights as heterosexuals to marry and enjoy all the legal bene?ts that married men and women enjoy. they also argue that in today's society, the traditional definition of marriage is old fashioned, archaic, discriminatory and bigoted; that in today's more enlightened society, people should be allowed to marry or live together as a "family" regardless of their sexual orientation without being punished for it by discriminatory laws. What are your views on this subject? Do you believe marriage should remain an act between a man and a woman? If so, why? If you believe gay couples should be legally allowed to marry, why? Regardless of your views on marriage, should "couples" living together be granted all the legal bene?ts enjoyed by a married man and woman regardless of their marital status or sexual orientation? Tell us what you think Kasich Question of the Month March 2004 Note: this question was handed out to the scholars during the Washington DC trip. It was not sent to the entire ?rst year class. Senator Kerry claims he has the support of world leaders in his quest to become the next President of the United States. The election results in Spain are hailed by the political left throughout the world (including some in the United States) as proof that support for American foreign policy is so unpopular in Europe that any government that dares to support it will be toppled. Millions of people around the globe demonstrate against the United States on a regular basis for a myriad of reasons ranging from gay marriage to global warming to the war in Iraq. Some Justices of our own Supreme Court are encouraging their colleagues to take their cue ?om foreign judges when rendering decisions. American nationalism is mocked and belittled world wide as selfish, adventurous, arrogant and dangerous. What has happened to our relations with longtime allies such as France and Germany? Should American foreign policy be dictated by American interests and self preservation ?rst, or should we have to get approval ?'om other nations, some of whom have their own political agendas, before engaging in overseas actions of any kind? Is the rising tide of anti? American feelings around the world, especially in Europe, based on righteous indignation with American foreign policy, or is there an element of resentment, jealousy and petty hatred of America and Americans by many people just because we are the world's only superpower today? How concerned should we be as citizens of the United States that so many people and nations around the world dislike us so much? George Neumayr, managing editor of the American Spectator, recently asked the question, "Do Americans want their elections shaped by Spanish socialists and their jurisprudence shaped by Danish judges? 5/28/04 bk September 13 Saturday October October 20 Monday October 20 Monday October 20 Monday October 22 Wednesday November Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Autumn Quarter 2003 ?Value of Grass Roots Lobbying and How to Make It Most Effective?

What?s going on in the world of Sports? Even here at Ohio State, long recognized for its no nonsense sports programs, recent events on and off the football ?eld have generated less than desirable headlines. The entire Maurice Clarett saga has been most unfortunate for both Mr. Clarett and the football program at Ohio State. Add to this the latest incident at the Ohio State/Wisconsin football game, and it would appear that things may be going ??om bad to worse. Are these just isolated incidents or are they systemic problems that need to be addressed by high schools, universities, and professional sports? Has winning at any cost become the hallmark of competitive sports? What impact does the boorish, imprudent behavior by one player have on the rest of the team and fans? 13 an apology and a one game su5pension punishment enough for choking a rival player during a very emotional football game? November?s Kasich Question of the Month: Opposition to US. policy in Iraq has been increasing steadily for some time now. Polls show a steady decline in support for President Bush and his Iraqi policies, and some opposition party leaders have begun denouncing the Bush Administration for "deceiving" the American peOple regarding the seriousness of the original threat from Iraq. Supporters of current American policy in Iraq counter that the threat was real, that Iraq is far better off now than it was under Saddam Hussein, and that it will take time to pacify and ultimately democratize the country. Do you believe the president deliberately misled the American people about the seriousness of the threat from Iraq in order to win support for going to war, or do you believe opponents of the president and his policies are playing politics with American security in order to gain support in next year's presidential election? Did US. intelligence agencies provide faulty or incomplete intelligence to the Administration, or did the government manipulate the information to suit it's own goals? Whether or not you supported the original invasion of Iraq, do you think the growing loss of American lives is a price we must, unfortunately, continue to pay in order to ultimately bring peace and stability to the pe0ple of that country? Do you think Iraq has become a haven for terrorists from around the world? Ifso, how should our government deal with the situation? 12/30/03 bk April May May 10 Saturday evening May 13 Tuesday May 13 Tuesday May 14 Wednesday May 14 Wednesday May 14 Wednesday evening Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Spring Quarter 2003 ?Kasich Question of the Month" for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society April's Question: freedom of the press and freedom of speech ?Kasich Question of the Month" for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society May?s Question: foreign policy Hosted four Mount Scholars at taping of his show ?From the Heartland" to watch live production at studio.

Now that the United States and its allies are engaged in war with Iraq, a great amount of debate has arisen throughout the country over just how much freedom the press should have and how much free speech citizens should exercise. For example, some people believe the press has a right to report every detail of every aspect of the war it can, even it might cause damage to the war e?ort. Some folks think it is OK to include hearsay and anti- Anterioan rhetoric in news stories. Others argue that while the press may have a right antler the constitution to report war news as they see fit, they also have a responsibility to be cognizant of the possible damage "irresponsible reporting may be to the war effort as well as to the safety of our soldiers in the ?eld. Some people argue that ?the liberal press is undermining? the war e?'ort and in doing so may actually be "aiding our enemies "l What are your views on these issues? What do you think of the media coverage you have seen on the war up to this point? Do you think the press has been evenhanded in its coverage? Does the press have a responsibility to be careful of what it prints or shows on the airways? May?s ?Kasich Question of the Month" Now that the war in Iraq appears to be over, some people are suggesting the United States should go after other ?rogue? nations such as Syria, North Korea and Iran. Do you believe it should be US. foreign policy to topple governments that are undoubtedly ?bad Under what circumstances, if any, should the United States intervene militarily in another country? If there is hard-core evidence that one or more of the above named countries is actively engaged in activities that could harm the United States or any of its interests, does the United States have a moral right to take whatever action it deems necessary to prevent that harm from taking place? 7/30/03 January January 23 Thursday February February 11 Tuesday February 13 Thursday February 18 Tuesday March 12 Wednesday Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Winter Quarter 2003 ?Kasich Question of the Month" for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society January?s Question: reintroducing the draft Meeting with President Karen Holbrook Don Thibaut and Richard Stoddard also in attendance 205 Bricker Hall 2:00 pm 2:45 pm Meeting with Herb Asher and Richard Stoddard Don Thibaut also in attendance 100 Bricker Hall 3:00 pm 3:30 pm ?Kasich Question of the Month" for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society February?s Question: af?rmative action PPM 834 Public Budgeting and Spending Decisions (1 of 2 sections) Professor Douglas Jones Adjunct Professor Lee Walker School of Public Policy and Management (Of?ce 306A Fisher Hall) Bolz Hall, Room 313 12:30 pm 1:45 pm PPM 834 Public Budgeting and Spending Decisions (2 of 2 sections) Professor Douglas Jones Adjunct Professor Lee Walker School of Public Policy and Management (Of?ce 306A Fisher Hall) Schoenbaum Undergraduate Program Building, Room 212 5:30 pm 6:48 pm Political Science 517- Legislative Politics Associate Professor Janet Box-Steffensmier Department of Political Science (Of?ce 2062 Derby Hall) Smith Laboratory, Room 1009 9:30 am? 11:18am Roundtable Discussion with Faculty and Students Political Science, Public Policy, and Others Professor Bert A.

Those who favor this idea believe the current all volunteer army is unfair and has resulted in a disproportionate number of lower income and minority members in the armed forces. They say patriotism and duty to country should be the responsibility of all Americans, not just the less fortunate. Those who support the all-volunteer army respond that volunteers make better soldiers precisely because they are volunteers and because they knowingly choose to become members of the armed forces. They also point out that we have the best equipped and best prepared ?ghting force on earth and that morale is high because of the professionalism created by the all-volunteer army. The Pentagon strongly supports the all-volunteer army as well. As a young person, you could be profoundly a?ected by any change in current law regarding the draft. Knowing this, what is your view of the proposal of reintroducing the draft? Do you support the idea or do you like the current all-volunteer army concept better? if the draft were to be reintroduced, should it exclude women? Should there be any exceptions to it? Why do you feel the way you do about this subject? February?s ?Kasich Question of the Month" A ?'irtnative action Quotas Diversity Preferential Treatment These are just some of the terms used to describe policies currently in place at most colleges and universities throughout the United States in an effort to bring about equal opportunity to facial and ethnic minorities historically discriminated against in this country. The Bush Administration ?5 recent decision to file a brief with the Supreme Court arguing against the constitutionality of the University of Michigan ?s admissions policy has revived interest and heightened debate on college campuses. Many people believe ?diversity is just a code word for preferential treatment, a form of "reverse discrimination. Others believe just as passionately that affirmative action practices have been a great equalizer for people who otherwise would never have the chance to receive a college education. As a student at a major university in this country, what are your views regarding this issue? Have you bene?ted personally ?'ont a?irmative action policies?

A 1974 Ohio State graduate, Kasich served in the State of Ohio Senate before being elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1982. Originally from Pittsburgh, Kasich has created his own politi? cal success through hard work and determination. Grassroots campaigning and holding true to his values, helped to generate Kasich?s success as a politician and public speaker. In 1994, Kasich became chairman of the House Budget Committee where he took on the Pentagon's spending, headed the House Committee that wrote the 1996 welfare-refonn law, and helped to design the ?rst balanced budget in over a genera- tion. In I999, he announced his candidacy for presidency and left two decades' worth of success and history-making in Con- gress. Although his presidential explorations in 2000 were not successful, Kasich says, ?There's no secret here: I?d like to run again. But I don't know if that is going to work out. In the meantime, good things are happening.? And, good things are happening. In addition to holding a position at SPPM, Kasich also holds appointments at the University of Annenberg School for Communication and Texas George Bush School of Government and Public Service. He has just signed a three-year contract extension with FOX Network to continue with nine editions of Heroes With John Kasich, a show inspired by his book Courage is Contagious. He also ?lls in for O'Reilly on The 0 ?Rer?lly Factor. Kasich has recently established The New Century Project, a political action conunittee that aids Republican candidates at the state and local levels. He is also a director for three public companies: Worthington Industries; Instinct, a New York?based electronic stock trading company; and Ivacare, the Leveland- area home health-care product-maker and supplier, and is on the board of A5an Aerogels, a Boston company specializing in advanced materials. Since arriving at SPPM, Kasich has been a guest lecturer in the PPM 730 Public Finance class and the PPM 834 Public Budgeting and Spending Decisions class. He has also given several talks to SPPM stu- dents and faculty, medical students, undergraduate students in Public Rela- tions and the Mount Leadership Program, as well as to students in the new Fisher College of Business Entrepreneurship Program.

Kasich Question of the Month January 2004 Mt}: the Iona Caucuses less than two weeks army and the New only a month of: the 2004 preridentt?a! election is well under way. In truth. the 2004 presidential contest between President Bush and his yet to be named Democrat opponent started almost immediately a?er the bitterly contested 2000 election ended. For Republicans. this year?s primary season is pretty much a forgone conclusion. But. for Democrats. the race has been anything but forgone or dull. The national media has been covering the Democratic candidates extensively for the better part of two years. initially the coverage seems to be all aboat money and each aandr'datetsfandroising prowess. Then the polls start. Virtually every day there are new polls telling all of us who is leading. who is in second place. who is poised to strike. who does not have a chance. who is thiang of getting in and who is thinking of getting out. Listening to the various media outlets. one might begin to wonder why we are even going to hold these primary elections. Without a single vote being cast to date. the media seems to have anointed Governor Dean as the Democratic nominee. in addition to this. the primary season is so front loaded with 'must win states that by March. the entire selection process will he orer. making the rest of the primaries and the party conventions virtually meaningless. Do you think media coverage so far in advance of the early caucusa and primaries is excessive? ls it ?sir that less than 00.000 caucus voters in lawn and fewer than l50.000 voters in New Hampshire will probabe determine who the Denocrats nominate for president before voters in other-states even go to the polls? What do you think ofa national primary day where all of the states hold their presidential primaries on the same day? Tell us what you think. Kasich Question of the Month February 2004 The Ohio Legislature just passed legislation banning same-sex unions. The bill is modeled on federal legislation approved by Congress in l996 in which declares marriage is between a man and a woman. However. the Ohio legislation goes beyond the federal act. and most of the ddense of marriage acts passed by other states. by denying state bene?ts to domestic partners of the same or opposite sex. it also prohibits the state from recognizing any ?public act. record or judicial proceeding'from any jurisdiction that extends the bene?ts of marriage to non-marital unions. Supporters of the ban say the legislation is needed to preserve the traditional sanctity of marriage as an act between a man and a woman. They argue that recent court decisions in Texas. Canada and Massachusetts have made a mockery of marriage and will lead to moral decay in society il'lefl unchecked. They also argue that the courts have no legitimate jurisdiction in this matter. that they are attempting to legislate their liberal social agenda from the bench and that the people of the country are menuhelmingly against legitimizing homosexual marriag?. Those who support legalizing gay marriages. arsarne-ses civil unions. argue that homosexuals should have the same legal rights as heterosexuals to marry and enjoy all the legal bme?ts that married men and women enjoy. Ihey also argue that in today's society. the traditional de?nition of marriage is old fashioned. arrhalc. discriminatory and bigoted; that in today's more enlightened society. people should be allowed to marry or live together as a 'jiismily' regardless of their sexual orientation without being punished for it by discriminatory laws. What are your vim on this subject? Do you believe marriage should remain an act between a man and a woman?I b" so. why? if you believe gay couples should be legally allowed to marry. why? Regardim of your views on marriage. should ?couples? living together be granted all the legal bene?ts enjoyed by a married man and woman regardless of their marital stem or sexual orientation? Tell us what you th inlt Kasich Question of the Month March 2004 Note: tlus question was handed out to the scholars during the Washington DC am. It was not sent to the entire. ?rst year class. Senator Kerry claims he has the support of world leaders in his quest to become the next President of the United States. Ihe election results in Spain are hailed by the political le? throughout the world (including some in the United States) as proof that support for American foreign policy is so unpopular in Europe that any government that dares to support it will be toppled. Millions of people around the globe demonstrate against the United States on a regular basis for a myriad of reasons ranging from gay marriage to global waning to the war in Iraq. Some Justices of our own Supreme Court are encouraging their colleagues to take their one from foreign judges when rendering decisions. American nationalism is mocked and belittled world wide as selfish. adventurous. arrogant and dangerous. What has happened to our relations with longtime allies such as France and Germany? Should American foreign policy be dictated byAmerican interests and self preservation ?rst. or should we have to get approval from other nations, some of whom have their own political agendas. before engaging in overseas action! of any kind? Is the rising tide ofanti- American feelings around the world. espea?ally in Europe. based on righteous indignation with American foreign policy. or is there an element of resentment. jealousy and petty hatred qumerioa and Americans by many people just because we are the world's only superpower today? How concerned should we be as citizens of the United States that so many people and nations around the world dislike us so much?

What's going on in the world of sports? Even here at Ohio State. long recognized for its no nonsense sports programs, recent events on and off the football ?eld have generated less than desirable headlines. The entire Maurice Clarett saga has been most unfortunate for both Mr. Clarett and the football program at Ohio State. Add to this the latest Incident at the Ohio football game. and it would appear that things may be gomg from bad to worse. Are these just isolated incidents or are they systemic problems that need to be addressed by high Schools, universities, and professional spans? Has winning at any cost become the hallmark of competitive sports? What impact does the boonsb, imprudent behavior by one player have on the rat of the team and fans? is an apology and a one game suspension punishment enough for choking a rival player dunng a very emotional football game? r4 November?s Kasich Question of the Month: Opposition to US. policy in iraq has been increasing steadin for some time now. Polls show a steady decline in support for Presrdent Bush and his Iraqi policies, and some opposition party leaders have begun denouncing the Bush Administration for "deceiving" the American people regarding the seriousness of the original threat from Iraq. Supporters of current American policy in Iraq counter that the threat was real, that Iraq is far better off now than it was under Saddam Hussein, and that it will take time to pacify and ultimately demoeratize the country. Do you believe the president deliberately misled the American people about the seriousness ofthe threat from Iraq in order to win support for going to war. or do you believe opponents ofthe president and his policies are playing politics with American security in order to gain support in next year's presidential election? Did U. S. intelligence agencies provide faulty or incomplete intelligence to the Administration. or did the government manipulate the information to suit It's own goals? Whether or not you supported the original invasion of Iraq. do you think the growing loss of American lives is a pace we must, unfortunately, continue to pay In order to ultimately bring peace and stability to the people of that country? Do you think Iraq has become a haven for terrorists from around the world?

Kim Jong ll. have revived talk in this country about reintroducing the drafi. Those who favor this idea believe the current all volunteer army is unfair and has resulted in a disproportionate number of lower income and minority members in the armed forces. They say patriotism and duty to country should be the responsibility of all Americans. not just the less fortunate. Those who support the all-volunteer anny respond that volunteers make better soldiers precisely because they are volunteers and because they knowingly choose to become members of the armed forces. They also point out that we have the best equipped and best prepared ?ghting force on earth and that morale is high because of the professionalism created by the all-volunteer army.

"Partners" may not jointly adept children under Ohio law (other than married couples. only one person in a relationship (whether homosexual or heterosexual) may legally adopt a child). There is now a movement in the state to prohibit any and all homosexual persons from adepting children in Ohio. Do you support this move to deny gays and lesbians the right to adopt children. or do you favor the law as currently written? Why or why not? Do you believe, as supporters of the proposed ban do, that it is unhealthy for children to be raised by a gay parent? Also. do you believe that unmarried couples should be allowed to jointly adept children?

"Partners" may not jointly adopt children under Ohio law (other than married couples, only one person in a relationship (whether homosexual or heterosexual) may legally adopt a child). There is now a movement in the state to prohibit any and all homosexual persons from adopting in Ohio. Do you support this move to deny gays and lesbians the right to adopt children. or do you favor the law as currently written? Why or why not?

January?s Kasich Question of the Month: The threat of terrorism and how to deal with it has been hotly debated in the United States ever since September 11. 2001. While virtually all citizens of the United States condemned the attacks on New York City and Washington. 0.0., there has never been uniformity from the general population on how best to deal with the possibility of future attacks. Just how far should government be able to go in order to protect the country from new acts of terrorism? The latest "hot" debate on the subject centers around the question of wiretapping. President Bush strongly defends the legality and necessity of the National Security Agency's (NSA) domestic eavesdropping program, which he authorized in 2002 to permit some wiretapping without court warrants. In 1978, Congress passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). It requires intelligence agencies to obtain a warrant before snooping on communications involving persons." Claiming he has broad war making powers conferred on the president by Article 2 of the Constitution and by a post 9111 congressional resolution authorizing the use of force to combat global terror. President Bush repeatedly authorized eavesdropping without warrants on about 500 Americans a day. This admission by the president has stirred a huge hornets nest among liberals and civil libertarians regarding privacy issues. Should the president have the power because of national security interests to spy on American citizens without a court order? Do you think the president's actions will have a lasting impact on the checks and balances set forth by the constitution to protect the individual rights of American citizens? Do you support the president's position. or do you agree with those who say he has clearly violated the law? Are you willing to sacri?ce some of your constitutionally provided liberties in order to feel more safe? if so, which ones? Why? What might be some of the long term consequences of giving up constitutionally guaranteed liberties in order to be safe from terrorism? Will doing so really make us safe from terrorism? Tell us what you think. February?s Kasich Question of the Month: "Pork barrel spending" is along standing, cherished practice in both houses of the US. Congress. It is widely practiced by both Democrats and Republicans and has no "liberal" or "conservative" ideology. Brie?y de?ned. "pork" is any "ear marked" expenditure of money for projects designed to bene?t a particular State or Congressional District. Many times, these add-ens have nothing to do with the legislation originally proposed, and are referred to by Members of Congress as "bringing home the bacon." Of course. those Members of Congress who successfully manage to include add-ons to a bill claim it is not "pork." but essential legislation that bene?ts many people in his/her state or Congressional district. Legislation dealing with military construction and the Department of Transportation is by far the most likely to include massive attempts by members to add on "ear marks" for particular states or districts. For ?scal year 2006. the appropriations committees themselves claim at least 17 billion dollars worth of programs were earmarked by Members of Congress in various appropriation bills. Other sources put the number at closer to $29 billion. With de?cits and federal spending at all time highs. do you think members of congress should show more restraint when spending tax dollars on pet projects for particular states or districts (even on projects)? Or do you believe elected representatives of the people should continue to do everything they can for the bene?t of their states and districts regardless of the costs and higher de?cits? Why or why not? Where do you draw the line on legitimate government Spending versus "pork?" Should Congress spend money on museums. parking lots, bridges. tourist attractions, landscaping, graf?ti elimination and ?lm documentaries, or would these types of projects better be funded by state and local governments or private enterprise? Why? Tell us what you think. 7/31/06 bk October October October 11 Tuesday October 13 Thursday October 24 Monday October 24 Monday October 24 Monday November Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Autumn Quarter 2005 ?Kasich Question of the Month" for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society October's Question: Blame After Hurricanes Live Production of ?From the Heartland with John Kasich?

The city of New Orleans and the plight of its citizens have gotten the bulk of the press coverage world wide. The blame game and ?nger pointing have been under way for some time now. Who really is to blame? First. one needs to know that New Orleans is below sea level and is protected by a series of levees and canals from the surrounding Gulf of Mexico, Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain. The levees were constructed to withstand a category 3 hurricane. Katrina was a strong category 4 hurricane. Studies by the Corps of Engineers predicted, with certainty, that the city of New Orleans was a disaster waiting to happen if steps were not taken to strengthen the levees. The New Orleans Times Picayune ran a series of stories in 2002 detailing what would happen to the city if such a storm ever occurred. It did occur. The devastating results have been biblical in scepe and questions abound: Why were so many people unprepared for this storm? Normally, local authorities are the ?rst responders to disasters like Katrina, followed by the state and then the federal governments. Why weren't local of?cials prepared to take immediate action to help the poor evacuate the city? The city had a plan on paper. but for some reason it never get fully implemented. Why did the state government fail to send in the National Guard as soon as the seriousness of the situation became known? What took the federal government so long to become engaged? Why did FEMA fail so badly in carrying out its reaponsibilities? Some people have charged that President Bush would have acted more quickly and with more vigor had the city of New Orleans been less poor and less African American in its make up. that the poor always get less attention than af?uent areas during dif?cult times. Do you believe this to be true? Why or why not? And what about the press. . .did they act irresponsibly by reporting so much negative news. much of which was later found to be untrue and sensationalistic in nature? And now we face questions about how to rebuild. As you read this question, the Corps of Engineers is rebuilding the breeched levees to withstand a category 3 storm. even though they know they should be constructed to withstand a category 5 storm. The Louisiana congressional delegation has asked congress for more than 40 billion dollars to repair the levees, even though the Corps has stated the levees can be built to withstand a category 5 hurricane for 2.5 billion dollars. Why? And how much money is too much money to spend to rebuild a city that will still be below sea level and will still be sitting right on the coast in a hurricane prone area? Tell us what you think. November's Kasich Question of the Month: The recent nomination of Harriet Miers for a vacancy on the Supreme Court, her withdrawal. and the subsequent nomination of Samuel Alito by President Bush have led to a great deal of debate on the whole question of how Supreme Court nominees should be chosen. Supporters of President Bush argue that a president should have the right to appoint whomever he chooses to the highest court in the land. They argue further that any president should have the right to nominate candidates to the court who share the same general philosophical views as the president. They point out that liberal presidents have traditionally nominated liberals to the court, and conservative presidents have traditionally nominated conservatives to the court. President Clinton appointed two liberals to the court with virtually no opposition from Republicans in the Senate, so why should President Bush be denied the same right to nominate candidates who share his conservative views? Opponents of Ms. Miers' appointment to the court argue that she was unquali?ed to serve on the highest court in the land. that her nomination by President Bush was one more example of the kind of cronyism that has come to be expected from this administration. and that so little was known of her judicial temperament and personal views on so many subjects that to ask the Senate to con?rm her would be foolish. It must also be pointed out that it was the conservative wing of the president's own party that led the attacks on Ms. Miers' nomination. allowing liberals in the Senate who opposed her on philosophical grounds the rare opportunity to "lay in the weeds" and let conservatives do their work for them.

January?s Kasich Question of the Month: Once again, scandal has attached itself to the football program at Ohio State. This time, star quarterback Troy Smith is the focus of an investigation that not only involves players, but also a wealthy booster of the Ohio State football program. According to an article in the December 28th issue of the Columbus Dispatch, Robert Q. Baker, the booster in question, has apparently engaged in similar gift giving to student athletes in the past. All student athletes are well informed of NCAA and university rules regarding the taking of gifts. There can be no ambiguity in the minds of athletes or boosters concerning these rules, yet violations of these rules continue to be uncovered at institutions of higher learning throughout the land. They have become part of an ever growing national and international scandal involving sports at virtually every level ??om Little League to the Olympic Games. Who deserves the blame for the violations attributed to Troy Smith and other student athletes caught in similar situations? Is the athlete in question solely reSponsible for knowingly breaking the rules? What about the booster who tempted him? How much blame should be placed on the booster? 15 one more guilty than the other, or are they equally guilty? Does the university share any responsibility for not keeping tighter control over student athletes? Is the athletic department, eSpecially the football program, too easy going when it comes to enforcing its own regulations regarding players and boosters? Should criminal penalties be imposed on boosters and alumni who knowingly violate these rules and regulations? Where was the leadership that should have prevented this abuse from ever having taken place? Tell us what you think. February?s Kasich Question of the Month: First the Columbus City Council, and on November 2nd the people, voted to ban smoking in public places of business in the city of Columbus. While most citizens of Columbus applaud this decision, some folks, especially smokers and many bar and restaurant owners, bitterly oppose this ban as an in?'ingement on their constitutional rights to smoke or allow smoking in their establishments. Even some people who don't smoke have reservations about denying citizens the right to smoke as long as smoking itself is not illegal. On the other hand, some smokers support the ban. Clearly, smoking has been proven to be a health risk for those who smoke. Second hand smoke may also be a serious health risk. How do you feel about the smoking ban? Should owners of bars and restaurants have the right to permit smoking in their establishments if they choose to do so? Why or why not? Should non- smokers be able to determine whether or not smokers should be able to "light up"just because they are the majority of the population? Should one persons right to breathe smoke the air while having dinner in a restaurant trump the right of another diner to enjoy a smoke in the same restaurant? And what about the philosophical questions involved - should the government be telling peOple what they can and cannot do in general? Is it a good precedent for the majority to impose their will on the minority? Tell us what you think. March?s Kasich Question of the Month: One of the "hottest" and most controversial political issues in the country today is the future of Social Security. Nearly everyone concedes the program is in need of "shoring up" at the very least. Many people, including President Bush, believe strongly that unless steps are taken now to "fix" the problem, the system will be unable to remain viable after 2024. The President, and others who share his view that SS is going bankrupt, want to allow participants in the program to invest a small portion of their SS taxes in the stock market. They believe this will permanently guarantee the solvency of the program as well as provide a much greater return on investments then is currently the case. People 55 and older would be exempt ?'om this new system, and there would be absolutely no change in the way they receive their bene?ts. Most Opponents of the private investment proposal for SS argue that while some changes in the program are inevitable, the President's idea to privatize a small portion of the money paid into the system through SS taxes would undermine and jeopardize the entire system. Instead, they argue for adjustments in the system like raising payroll taxes on the wealthy, reducing bene?ts for some recipients, or raising the retirement age for bene?ciaries. Some strong supporters of the current system do not favor any changes at all. They argue that the system is solvent until at least 2040 or more, and any "tinkering" with it would cause irreparable harm to future recipients. What do you think about the future of Social Security? Are you con?dent it will be here for you when you reach retirement age if no changes are made in it at all? What do you think of the Presidentis proposal to allow younger Americans the opportunity to invest a small portion of their payroll taxes in the stock market in order to have a "bigger pot to draw ?ow at retirement? Do you think this is the answer to the "problem" of SS, or do you think this is a dangerous and unworkable solution? Have you ever talked to your parents or grandparents about their ?elings (?ears) regarding Social Security? Even though current "seniors" would be exempted ?om the Bush proposal, polls show overwhelming opposition to any changes in the system by older Americans. Why? Do you think they understand the President's proposal andjust don't like it, or have they been "brainwashed" by groups like What changes, if any, would you make in the current system? - -. -n - 4/20/05 bk October October 16 October 19 Tuesday October 19 Tuesday October 25 Monday October 25 Monday October 28 Thursday October 28 Thursday Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Autumn Quarter 2004 ?Kasich Question of the Month? for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society October?s Question: Election opportunity, procedures, and practices Live Production of ?From the Heartland with John Kasich?

In this hotly contested race, both sides are bracing for a potential ?ght to be waged in the courts. The campaigns have teams" of lawyers and political operatives on-call, ready to move into battleground states to shape public perception and challenge every voting irregularity. One Kerry aide said there will be "10,000 lawyers out in the battleground states on election day." Democrats are saying that Republicans in some places are trying to suppress the vote. Republicans say they only want to be sure that rules are being followed. Both sides say they want to be sure everyone gets a chance to vote and get their vote counted. Even here in Ohio there have been problems. Secretary of State Blackwell has been criticized for his directives concerning provisional ballots which have prompted a Federal Judge to say that Mr. Blackwell's actions amount to a "fai lure to do his duty." There have also been legal skirmishes over voter registration and the voting methods many counties use. There is little doubt that no matter what the outcome on November 2, both sides will have ample ammunition to mount a legal battle to stake their claim to the highest of?ce in the land. Do you agree with the statement "everyone should have the opportunity to vote, and every vote should be counted?" Why or Why not? In an election that many believe will come down to voter turnout. do you believe that there are systematic efforts on either side to suppress votes in certain precincts? Should Americans be willing to turn their elections process over to teams of lawyers? if this election is as close as the election in 2000, do you think the Supreme Court will be the ?nal arbiter again? If so, what would be the long term impact of such a litigious end to two consecutive elections? Tell us what you think. November?s Kasich Question of the Month: Now that President Bush has won reelection to a second term, many of his supporters are calling on him to push a more conservative agenda during the next four years. They cite his clear majority of the popular vote as well as Republican gains in the House and Senate as proof that the country has given him a mandate to pursue the things he promised while campaigning. Among the more controversial promises was his commitment to appoint more "strict consbuctionists" to the Federal Courts. There could be as many as four vacancies on the Supreme Court over the next four years. If the President nominated "strict constructionists" to these potential vacancies, and the Senate con?rmed the nominations, there is a good chance several court decisions from prior courts could be overturned or modi?ed. Among these are Roe v. Wade, Miranda, and some Af?rmative Action decisions to name just a few. Liberals and civil libertarians argue that decisions like those above are long established precedents and should not be tampered with. They say that to do so would undermine civil liberties and reverse the hard fought gains of minorities, women and the poor. Conservatives counter that many of these precedents should never have been established to begin with; that they were brought about by activist judges who were creating laws rather than interpreting the constitution. They also cite Plessy v. Ferguson, the 1392 Supreme Court decision establishing the doctrine of separate but equal, as a long standing precedent (and a very bad one) that was not overtumed until Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. With the country as seemingly divided as ever over our national leaders, should the president appoint "strict constructionists" to the Federal Courts, or should he appoint judges who will continue to maintain the status quo as it relates to the previously mentioned court decisions? Is it a President's prerogative to appoint individuals who share his political beliefs or should a President seek balance in his appointments? Which way do you think recent Presidents have acted on this question? Who (or what type of person) would you advise the President to appoint if you had the opportunity to do so?

Kasich Question of the Month January 2004 With the Iowa Caucuses less than two weeks away and the New Hampshire primary only a month the 2004 presidential election is well under way. In truth, the 2004 presidential contest between President Bush and his yet to be named Democrat opponent started almost immediately after the bitterly contested 2000 election ended. For Republicans, this yearts primary season is pretty much a forgone conclusion. But, for Democrats, the race has been anything but forgone or dull. The national media has been covering the Democratic candidates extensively for the better part of two years. Initially the coverage seems to be all about money and each candidate 'sfundraising prowess. Then the polls start. Virtually every day there are new polls telling all of us who is leading, who is in second place, who is poised to strike, who does not have a chance, who is thinking of getting in and who is thinking of getting out. Listening to the various media outlets. one might begin to wonder why we are even going to hold these primary elections. Without a single vote being cast to date, the media seems to have anointed Governor Dean as the Democratic nominee. In addition to this, the primary season is so front loaded with "must win states that by March. the entire selection process will be over, making the rest of the primaries and the party conventions virtually meaningless. Do yott think media coverage so far in advance of the early caucuses artd primaries is excessive? Is it fair that less than 100, 000 caucus voters in Iowa and fewer than 150, 000 voters in New Hampshire will probably determine who the Democrats nominate for president before voters in other states even go to the polls? What do you think of a national primary day where all of the states hold their presidential primaries on the same day? Tell us what you think. Kasich Question of the Month February 2004 The Ohio Legislature just passed legislation banning same-sex unions. The bill is modeled on federal legislation approved by Congress in l996 in which declares marriage is between a man and a woman. However, the Ohio legislation goes beyond the federal act, and most of the defense of marriage acts passed by other states, by denying state bene?ts to domestic partners of the same or opposite sex. It also prohibits the state from recognizing any "Public act, record or judi cial proceeding from any jurisdiction that extends the bene?ts of marriage to non-marital unions. Supporters of the ban say the legislation is needed to preserve the traditional sanctity of marriage as an act between a man and a woman. They argue that recent court decisions in Texas, Canada and Massachusetts have made a mockery of marriage and will lead to moral decay in society if lejt unchecked. They also argue that the courts have no legitimatejurisdiction in this matter, that they are attempting to legislate their liberal social agenda from the bench and that the people of the country are overwhelmingly against legitimizing homosexual marriages. Those who support legalizing gay marriages, or same-sex civil unions, argue that homosexuals should have the same legal rights as heterosexuals to marry and enjoy all the legal bene?ts that married men and women enjoy. They also argue that in today's society, the traditional definition of marriage is old fashioned, archaic, discriminatory and bigoted; that in today's more enlightened society, people should be allowed to marry or live together as a ?family" regardless of their sexual orientation without being punished for it by discriminatory laws. What are your views on this subject? Do you believe marriage should remain an act between a man and a woman? t'fso, why? If you believe gay couples should be legally allowed to marry, why? Regardless of your views on marriage, should "couples" living together be granted all the legal bene?ts enjoyed by a married man and woman regardless of their marital status or sexual orientation? Tell us what you think Kasich Question of the Month March 2004 Note: this question was handed out to the scholars during the Washington DC trip. It was not sent to the entire ?rst year class. Senator Kerry claims he has the support of world leaders in his quest to become the next President of the United States. The election results in Spain are hailed by the political left throughout tlte world (including some in the United States) as proof that support for American foreign policy is so unpopular in Europe that any government that dares to support it will be toppled. Millions of people around the globe demonstrate against the United States on a regular basis for a myriad of reasons ranging from gay marriage to global warming to the war in Iraq. Some Justices of our own Supreme Court are encouraging their colleagues to take their one from foreign judges when rendering decisions. American nationalism is mocked and belittled world wide as selfish, adventurous, arrogant and dangerous. What has happened to our relations with longtime allies such as France and Germany? Should American foreign policy be dictated by American interests and self preservation ?rst, or should we have to get approval from other nations, some of whom have their own political agendas, before engaging in overseas actions of any kind? Is the rising tide of anti- American feelings around the world, especially in Europe, based on righteous indignation with American foreign policy, or is there an element of resentment, jealousy and petty hatred of America and Americans by many people just because we are the world "s only super power today? How concerned should we be as citizens of the United States that so many people and nations around the world dislike us so much? George Neumayr, managing editor of the American Spectator, recently asked the question, "Do Americans want their elections shaped by Spanish socialists and their jurisprudence shaped by Danish judges? 5/28/04 bk September 13 Saturday October October 20 Monday October 20 Monday October 20 Monday October 22 Wednesday November Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Autumn Quarter 2003 ?Value of Grass Roots Lobbying and How to Make It Most Effective" Presentation to Medical Alumni Associates and Board of Governors for Medical Alumni Fred San?lippo 9:30 am 10:30 am ?Kasich Question of the Month? for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society October?s Question: behavior in the World of Sports Political Science 612 -- Politcal Leadership ?Leadership On the Economy: Tax Cuts and De?cits in Historical Perspective?

What?s going on in the world of sports? Even here at Ohio State, long recognized for its no nonsense sports programs, recent events on and off the football ?eld have generated less than desirable headlines. The entire Maurice Clarett saga has been most unfortunate for both Mr. Clarett and the football program at Ohio State. Add to this the latest incident at the Ohio State/Wisconsin football game, and it would appear that things may be going from bad to worse. Are thesejust isolated incidents or are they systemic problems that need to be addressed by high schools, universities, and professional sports? Has winning at any cost become the hallmark of competitive Sports? What impact does the boorish, imprudent behavior by one player have on the rest of the team and fans? Is an apology and a one game su5pension punishment enough for choking a rival player during a very emotional football game? November?s Kasich Question of the Month: Opposition to US. policy in Iraq has been increasing steadily for some time now. Polls show a steady decline in support for President Bush and his Iraqi policies, and some Opposition party leaders have begun denouncing the Bush Administration for "deceiving" the American people regarding the seriousness of the original threat from Iraq. Supporters of current American policy in Iraq counter that the threat was real, that Iraq is far better off now than it was under Saddam Hussein, and that it will take time to pacify and ultimately democratize the country. Do you believe the president deliberately misled the American people about the seriousness of the threat from Iraq in order to win support for going to war, or do you believe opponents of the president and his policies are playing politics with American security in order to gain support in next year's presidential election? Did US. intelligence agencies provide faulty or incomplete intelligence to the Administration, or did the government manipulate the information to suit it's own goals? Whether or not you supported the original invasion of Iraq, do you think the growing loss of American lives is a price we must, unfortunately, continue to pay in order to ultimately bring peace and stability to the people of that country? Do you think Iraq has become a haven for terrorists ?'om around the world? If so, how should our government deal with the situation? 12/3 0/03 bk April May May 10 Saturday evening May 13 Tuesday May 13 Tuesday May 14 Wednesday May 14 Wednesday May 14 Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Spring Quarter 2003 ?Kasich Question of the Month" for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society April?s Question: freedom of the press and freedom of Speech ?Kasich Question of the Month" for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society May?s Question: foreign policy Hosted four Mount Scholars at taping of his show ?From the Heartland" to watch live production at studio.

Now that the United States and its allies are engaged in war with Iraq, a great amount of debate has arisen throughout the country over just how much freedom the press should have and how much free speech citizens should exercise. For example, some people believe the press has a right to report every detail of every aspect of the war it can, even if it might cause damage to the war e?'ort. Somefollts think it is OK to include hearsay and anti- American rhetoric in news stories. Others argue that while the press may have a right under the constitution to report war news as they see?t, they also have a responsibility to be cognizant of the possible damage "irresponsible reporting may be to the war effort as well as to the safety of our soldiers in the field. Some people argue that ?the liberal press is undermining the war e?'ort and in doing so may actually be "aiding our enemies "l What are your views on these issues? What do you think of the media coverage you have seen on the war up to this point? Do you think the press has been evenhanded in its coverage? Does the press have a responsibility to be careful of what it prints or shows on the airways? May?s ?Kasich Question of the Month" Now that the war in Iraq appears to be over, some people are suggesting the United States should go after other "rogue nations such as Syria, North Korea and Iran. Do you believe it should be US. foreign policy to topple governments that are undoubtedly "bad"? Under what circumstances, if any, should the United States intervene militarily in another country? If there is hard-core evidence that one or more of the above named countries is actively engaged in activities that could harm the United States or any of its interests, does the United States have a moral right to take whatever action it deems necessary to prevent that harm from taking place? 7/3 0/03 January January 23 Thursday February February 11 Tuesday February 13 Thursday February 18 Tuesday March 12 Wednesday Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Winter Quarter 2003 ?Kasich Question of the Month? for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society January?s Question: reintroducing the draft Meeting with President Karen Holbrook Don Thibaut and Richard Stoddard also in attendance 205 Bricker Hall 2:00 pm 2:45 pm Meeting with Herb Asher and Richard Stoddard Don Thibaut also in attendance 100 Bricker Hall 3:00 pm ?3:30 pm ?Kasich Question of the Month" for First Year Mount Scholars Mount Leadership Society February?s Question: af?rmative action PPM 834 Public Budgeting and Spending Decisions (1 of 2 sections) Professor Douglas Jones Adjunct Professor Lee Walker School of Public Policy and Management (Of?ce 306A Fisher Hall) B012 Hall, Room 313 12:30 pm 1:45 pm PPM 834 Public Budgeting and Spending Decisions (2 of 2 sections) Professor Douglas Jones Adjunct Professor Lee Walker School of Public Policy and Management (Of?ce 306A Fisher Hall) Schoenbaum Undergraduate Program Building, Room 212 5:30 pm - 6:48 pm Political Science 517- Legislative Politics Associate Professor Janet Box-Steffensmier Department of Political Science (Of?ce 2062 Derby Hall) Smith Laboratory, Room 1009 9:30 am- 11:18am Roundtable Discussion with Faculty and Students Political Science, Public Policy, and Others Professor Bert A.

Those who favor this idea believe the current all volunteer army is unfair and has resulted in a disproportionate number of lower income and minority members in the armed forces. They say patriotism and duty to country should be the responsibility of all Americans, not just the less fortunate. Those who support the all-volunteer army respond that volunteers make better soldiers precisely because they are volunteers and because they knowingly choose to become members of the armed forces. They also point out that we have the best equipped and best prepared fighting force on earth and that morale is high because of the professionalism created by the all-volunteer army. The Pentagon strongly supports the all-volunteer army as well. As a young person, you could be profoundly a?ected by any change in current law regarding the draft. Knowing this, what is your view of the preposal of reintroducing the draft? Do you support the idea or do you like the current all-volunteer army concept better? If the draft were to be reintroduced, should it exclude women? Should there be any exceptions to it? Why do you feel the way you do about this subject? February?s ?Kasich Question of the Month? A?irmative action Quotas Diversity Preferential Treatment These are just some of the terms used to describe policies currently in place at most colleges and universities throughout the United States in an e?'ort to bring about equal opportunity to facial and ethnic minorities historically discriminated against in this country. The Bush Administration ?s recent decision to file a brief with the Supreme Court arguing against the constitutionality of the University of Michigan ?s admissions policy has revived interest and heightened debate on college campuses. Many people believe ?diversity? is just a code word for preferential treatment, aform of ?reverse discrimination. Others believe just as passionately that a?irmative action practices have been a great equalizer for people who otherwise would never have the chance to receive a college education. As a student at a major university in this country, what are your views regarding this issue? Have you benefited personally from affirmative action policies? Generally speaking. do you think these policies have achieved their desired goal? Should a?irmative action policies be continued or not? 3/25/03 bk September 25 Wednesday October 9 Thursday October 10 Thursday November November 4 Monday December 2 Monday Schedule for John Kasich The Ohio State University Autumn Quarter 2002 Met with Dr. Fred San?llippo, College of Medicine Met with Dick Stoddard, Of?ce of the President, to discuss Mount Leadership Program and schedule PPM 801 Public Policy Formulation and Administration Professor Bert A.
