I have some pride. I would strap a bomb on myself and blow myself up as a suicide bomber rather than call myself an American.

“They altered parts of the story to make it a scare tactic. This whole thing is a fraud,” said Daniel De Rosa, Penn College Democrats campus issues director. “Eighty percent of Penn is going to go towards Kerry. … The only group that would stand to benefit from this … would be Republicans.”

Because of editing errors on several levels, the Oct. 29 edition of The Daily Iowan contained a front-page story on the UI chapter of College Republicans with an erroneous headline. As Editor in Chief, I take full responsibility for the headline “UI Republicans work hard at preserving their delusions” and want to clarify that the story’s writer, DI reporter Nick Petersen, had nothing to do with the error. I offer my sincerest apologies to the UI College Republicans and the entire university community for this misrepresentation.

The timing of the mistake was particularly unfortunate because of Tuesday’s general election, when Americans will choose several officials ranging from county supervisor to president of the United States.

It is no secret that the DI’s Editorial Board leans Democratic, but we have put forth a strong effort this year to show a political balance…
