"I think it does have some good points. There are positives and negatives to it, because it helps people out who would have otherwise had no chance. But it also may overlook someone who is qualified for a position."

Burton Williams,
2400 block Oregon Avenue
"I think we still need it, but there should be some restrictions on it. With college, it should be on what they know, because they are our future leaders."
