The Michigan Daily - Thursday, November 8, 1984 - Page 3 Mondale retires from polities From AP and UPI ST. PAUL, Minn. - Walter Mondale, standing in the rubble of a massive Reagan landslide, said yesterday his presidential candidacy was scarred by Democratic infighting but he lost because his campaign message "didn't take." 4Solemn, but showing flashes of humor, Mondale wished President Reagan well at a post-mortem news conference, but predicted Reagan will eat several "meals of crow" during his second term on the budget deficit and other issues. MONDALE ALSO said he is "satisfied with that judgment" of selec- ting Ferraro for his ticket, although the campaign lost "seven or eight precious days" during the controversy over whether her husband, John Zaccaro, would release his income tax returns. During the news conference, Mondale rejected the notion that Reagan's overwhelming victory - 59 percent of the popular vote and the biggest Elec- toral College tally in history - signals a realignment of the major parties. He said he has no plans to run for president "or any other elective office again," and intends to return to his Washington law practice as soon as he and his wife, Joan, return from a Virgin Islands vacation. AFTER A LIFETIME in politics, he told reporters, "I think the time has come to pursue some certain economic necessities, among other things." Mondale, seemingly at peace with himself, said he was confident of a favorable verdict about his election campaign effort. "I did my best," said the defeated Democratic nominee, who was buried in an avalanche of votes that reached historic proportions. "I worked my heart out." The Democratic candidate - declaring he wants to be nothing more than "a Democrat in America, an American citizen that wants the best for our nation" - met the press before flying back to Washington for a reunion with his running mate, Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, whose contribution to the ticket he praised. Before leaving St. Paul, Mondale was asked if he felt like the late Adlai Stevenson, also a losing candidate, who once said, "I am too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh." "There is a little bit of that," he said. common denominator ISATURDAY BRUNCH 2 Eggs, Bacon or Sausage, Hashed Browns, Juice & Coffee ; 10:00 A.M. -12:00 NOON $2v49 PRESENT THIS AD FOR A FREE DONUT U * The main bus stop WITH PURCHASE OF ANY BEVERAGE t on North Campus SATURDAYS ONLY.

Many students seemed to share Tanasijevich's sentiments about who would win the election, but not all of them agreed that Reagan's foreign policy is very effective. Hillary Straus, a junior in LSA, said she disagrees with Reagan's approach to diplomacy because "he blames the Russians for everything." Straus also had reservations about Reagan's sup- port for issues like school prayer because "I don't think he has any right to bring religion into government." LSA JUNIOR Karl Christiansen agreed with Straus. He said that Reagan tries to make the Soviet Union look like "an evil source," but doesn't consider the flip side of the coin. "(The Russians) are just as concer- ned about survival as we are. I think Reagan has got to learn that we have to cooperate, "Christiansen said. Students seemed to support Reagan's economic programs nearly unanimously. And those who had reser- vations about Reaganomics conceded that they may actually work out for the best. "If (Reagan's economic e surprises program) eventually works, it's not as bad as it seems," Straus said. HEATHER Huston, a freshman in LSA, was pleased when she heard about the Reagan landslide. "I was happy. I'm very much for Reagan," she said. "I pretty much agree with everything he says." Huston had mixed feelings about Mondale's choice of a woman for his running mate. She said she wasn't sure if Rep. Geraldine Ferraro was qualified for the number two position and that "she ran for the wrong reasons." Most students seemed to think that Ferraro didn't help the ticket very much since voters who would be most none impressed with having a woman on the ticket were already going to vote for Mondale. Straus said she appreciated the move, but added that "I don't think it helped the ticket at all." 7 HAIRCUTTERS * NO WAITING DASCOLA STYLISTS Liberty off State...... 668-9329 Maple Village........ 761 -2733 I-THE UNIVERSITY CLUB EATERIES & COMMONS rlTE DINNER CLUB A NON-DISCRIMINATORY, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER _ f t t d 1 t s F 4 i i t rt , Student input (Continued from Page 1). short speeches on the code are given by Shapiro, Prof. Martin Gold, and Eric Schnaufer, chairman of MSA's code committee.
