The segment then aired May 6 and May 11. Sanchez asked the students questions about foreign policy, immigration, Iraq, race, pacifism, youth engagement in politics this year, patriotism, social issues and the presidential candidates. Also on May 6, the Chicago Tribune published a story about faith and politics at Goshen College featuring Beachy and Koontz, along with Jeff Hochstetler, a senior business and history double major from Orrville, Ohio, James Weber, a senior communication major from Reading, Pa., and Emily Miller, a sophomore social work major from Waco, Texas. Also interviewed were Professor of Bible, Religion and Philosophy Keith Graber Miller, President Jim Brenneman and Everett Thomas ’72, a member of the Goshen City Council and editor of The Mennonite.
