The College Republicans returned to the SUB after a Sen. John Kerry rally Tuesday, but they weren't campaigning.
Instead, the group joined other students to view "Farenhype 9/11," an analysis of "Fahrenheit 9/11" and its creator Michael Moore.
"We want people to take two sides when they go to the polls," said Jeremy Landrum, activities coordinator for the College Republicans.
Dick Morris, former adviser to President Clinton, told moviegoers to add up the points in any way. Vote for Kerry, vote for President Bush or stay undecided, he said.
"This is not what this is about," Morris said. "Know the facts."
The movie revisited people who appeared in Moore's documentary. Many said their comments were taken out of context.

Soldiers said they had never met Moore, families said he had no insight, and one woman said it was degrading to have her nephew's funeral on film.
"You could tell he was driven by his opinion," UNM student Celena Cottrell said.
She said she watched both movies and "Farenhype 9/11" was more respectable.
"It brought to light some of the fallacies I thought were presented but really wasn't sure how," she said.
After the second plane hit the World Trade Center, Moore said in his film that it took seven minutes for Bush, who was reading with children at an elementary school, to react. "Farenhype 9/11" stated it was five minutes. While Moore said Bush spent his first eight months as president on vacation, "Farenhype 9/11" listed the duties the president performed during those eight months.
"If you're going to watch one, you should definitely go watch the other," Cottrell said.
