\"\"<\/a>In a change of events, Jerry Springer, host of \u201cThe Jerry Springer Show,\u201d has cancelled his planned appearance at Sinclair Community College.<\/p>\n

The reason for the cancellation was due to changes in his personal commitments outside of Ohio, according to an email from his publicist Sally Ford.<\/p>\n

Springer was going to speak to students about the Democratic Party with a secondary focus on encouraging students to vote early.<\/p>\n

Tom Roberts, adviser for the Student Government Association at Sinclair, said he was disappointed when he learned of the cancellation but is still encouraging Sinclair students to be politically active and to take advantage of their opportunity to vote early.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly from the point of view as advisor of Student Government, my goal is to bring in nationally recognized speakers to talk to the student body on a variety of topics,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cWe will continue to work on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roberts also said SGA will attempt to create posters or brochures that will summarize some of the political issues on the ballot so students can have a better understanding of the issues when heading to the polls. He advises students to pick up a Voters Guide, a free publication created by The League of Women Voters, in the meantime.<\/p>\n

Despite cancelling, Springer did speak to the Clarion. See page 3 for the exclusive interview with the controversial talk show host.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
