Not likely In the last weeks of the campaign, presidential candidates George Bush and Michael Dukakis have fo- cused their attention on the quality and availability of higher education, each attempting to stake out a, position as the 'education president.'

The politicians turned the conventions into finely-honed TV com- mercials, long on "spontaneous celebra- tion" and short on political debate. For their part, the networks gave the con- ventions prime time news coverage, a fact that should have made the political conventions extremely enlightening for the general public; however, due to the emphasis on hoopla and glitz, the national conventions hindered the vo- ters' efforts to form sensible political judgments." - Don Langham, The Crimson White, U. of Alabama CALIFORNIA "Dukakis is giving me no reason to vote for him. I know what alarms me about a Bush victory - more conserva- tives on the Supreme Court, continua- tion of our Central American policy, further separation of society's haves and have nots - but Dukakis gives me no reason to feel motivated, or even in- volved, in the Democratic cause." - Craig Anderson, The Daily Californian, U. of California, Berkeley Instead, the voter would get a 'classist education president,' only useful to peo- ple who could afford Yale or Swar- thmore. More proof for the potential of a 'clas- sist education president' is provided by The American voter will be getting a 'classist education president' who is only useful to people who can afford Yale or Swarthmore. Charles B. Saunders Jr. Saunders, an executive vice president for the Amer- ican Council of Education, said that Bush and Dukakis, in their education papers, "foster the misleading notion that the central federal role in student aid is to guarantee educational loans." He said, "Neither mentions the critic- al importance of increasing grant aid for the neediest students, so that they will not have to rely so heavily on loans to obtain an education." What the American people are left with are two candidates who are more concerned with middle- and upper- class, college-bound students. And why not? The poorest of the poor, the ones who need the most help, are the ones who are least likely to go to college and can almost be counted on not to vote. If only Bush or Dukakis could make a campaign stop at one of America's less affluent urban high schools where gangs, not teachers, are in charge; where contests are held to see whose urination creates the most steam on the radiator; where students are more like- ly to aim for a street corner to sell crack than a state university to store knowledge; where students go to bed hungry and don't benefit from school meal programs; and where attendance is another word Johnny can't read. It's unfortunate Bush and Dukakis will not take a close look at these stu- dents, because in this year of campaign rhetoric, it's these students who need 'an education president' the most.

Mark The Massachusetts Daily Collegian U. of Massachusetts, Amherst An education president? Hard to believe, but George Bush and Michael Dukakis have made education a top election issue. Dukakis suggests the vice president was silent while the Reagan adminis- tration slashed federal aid to public schools and higher education in the 1980s. "Where was the man who now says he wants to be the education president? He was playing hooky, he was nowhere to be found," Dukakis said in a California campaign stop. Dukakis is correct. Bush has 'played hooky' as the Reagan administration cut financial aid to students and public school lunch programs, and nearly eli- minated the Department of Education. But Dukakis is not one to talk about education either. He says the election is a contest "be- tween those who see education as a life- time commitment and those who see it as an election-year strategy." I am left wondering who's who. It isn't hard to believe the two have better education records with private schools. Let's not forget Bush attended Yale, and Dukakis attended Swar- thmore. Both schools are private. What this should lead the voter to believe is that neither would be the 'education president' Americans need. Semester in Spain, Ltd.

He has committed himself to working for improved education, AIDS research and putting honesty back in the White House. Let's make the White House a symbol of commitment of our government to the American people once again. Let's end the Reagan era." - Sharon Stout, The Daily Campus, Southern Methodist U., TX Curry Continued From Page 21 "For the folks that are concerned as to whether or not we have a greater drug problem than other institutions, I know exactly who has a problem because of our testing system," Curry said. "So we don't want anybody to be concerned that there is some grave problem in the prog- ram. There is not." If an athlete is discovered, through random testing, to have used a drug, he or she must go through an intense drug education program. The program in- volves lectures, reading and writing assignments. On the second offense, an athlete must call his or her parents and admit a drug problem with an athletic official present. The athlete is then counseled, either by on-campus professionals or at off-campus centers. On the third offense, the athlete is suspended and must undergo intense dependency treatment, possibly as an in-patient, at a professional's discre- tion. When the doctors feel the athlete is ready, he or she is given one more chance. Another positive test results in permanent suspension from the team. The program that is in place is essen- tially the same one Curry created at Georgia Tech with his in-state rival from U. of Georgia. "We got tremendous cooperation from Vince Dooley and his medical people in Athens," Curry said. "Vince and I don't agree about many things, but this is one thing that we were dead serious about." Report Continued From Page 1 the bill was drafted. Robert Atwell, president of the Amer- ican Council on Education, told the Chronicle of Higher Education he ob- jected to the bill because, "this is an area where we in higher education must police our own act." Bradley pointed out only one in 10,000 high school athletes ever has a professional athletic career. "To Quayle's credit, he is a proven and energetic campaigner. He will press a lot of flesh for George Bush. And the only difference between him and demo- cratic vice presidential nominee is, to steal a joke, 'Quayle has a pulse.'" - Editorial Staff, The Daily Athenaeum, West Virginia U. t
