Maybe those folks in Washington, D.C., could learn something from Matt Van Vossen and Ryan Melchin.
Van Vossen, 20, president of College Democrats at the University of Illinois Springfield, and Melchin, 21, chairman of the College Republicans on campus, are juniors who have been friends since freshman year, and they live in the same on-campus four-person townhouse this year.
“We mostly get along,” Van Vossen said. While they’ve done some arguing in their time in school together, he added, “We know where we stand by now on most issues.”
Van Vossen and Melchin were featured in a April 13, 2010, article in the State Journal-Register.
