CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — Rudy Giuliani looks mildly irritated when a young professor at the University of Northern Iowa asks what he would do to motivate her disillusioned students.

The students don't vote, she says.


Presidential hopeful Rudolph Giuliani campaigns last week at the Village Inn on West Broadway in Council Bluffs. The former New York City mayor has been running third in the GOP race in Iowa.


Giuliani doesn't feel her pain, or sympathize with the students sitting nearby.

"Here's what I would do about their disillusionment," he says, clapping his hands fast and loud, jolting more than a few in the campus ballroom crowd of about 200.

"Wake up! Look at America! No, really, take a look," he says. "You are living in a country that is the greatest country in the world. You are so lucky. People who lived before you never had this kind of freedom. People who lived before you never had this kind of opportunity."

"If you don't like something about this country, which you have every right not to like," he adds, "go fix it."
