The new Kent Political Union is “all about expression of different viewpoints,” said interim President Steve Dunwoody.

Dunwoody said the new group is non-partisan and open for students to discuss politics in a “civil manner.”

“(The group) will help motivate the younger crowd,” Dunwoody said. “In four weeks from that time are the elections.”

The group will hold its first meeting from 4 to 6 p.m. today at the Student Center Governance Chambers.

Justin Buchler, professor from Case Western Reserve, will speak at the meeting. Dunwoody said Buchler is an expert on elections and Congress.
