If I were president, the first thing I would do is take money from the prison systems and the space programs and apply it towards public education. The children of America are America's future, and they deserve to have a GOOD education, with text books, computers, small class sizes and good teachers. I do not believe that prisonners of the USA should be receiving more funding for their institutions (since they ARE criminals) than the children of America, the innocent, promise of future in our country.
Secondly, I would make voting more accesible. It is very hard for college students to vote, being that most of them go away to school. Many students do not want to go through the hassle, or merely forget to send away for an absentee ballot. If voting were made available ON college campuses I feel that the elections would be more representative of our country's voting population as a whole. Student's opinions are important, and they deserve a just as much of a chance to be heard.

Amanda,
On larger campuses you CAN vote right on campus. That is absolutely something you can fight to have set up.
maybe i'll think of brining that up for my group project for dr johnson's class
so you think because they are criminals they don't deserve resources?
not more than the future of america deserves. im not saying take away all the money that the prisons are receiving, i just think that they shouldn't be getting more than the people who really deserve it. if i had to pick to give money to a student or a murderer, i'd pick the student.
