F idaOcoe 3,92. 9 h ichigan*' * ,. Clinton focuses on 'youth of America' by Shelley Morrison Daily Higher Education Reporter Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, in a rush to target the "youth of America," has visited more than 50 college campuses since the Democratic National Convention, while President George Bush has only made eight stops to universi- ties since August. Darcey Campbell, assistant press secretary for Bush/Quayle '92, said Bush has visited fewer college campuses because of his presidential duties. "Bush is still the president of the United States and still has re- sponsibilities as president. This allows him less tine to campaign than Clinton, and people forget that," Campbell said. "Bush is stillvery concerned about speaking to the youth of America," she added. Ross Perot representatives did not return calls regarding inquiries about college campus visits. Political science Prof. Donald Kinder said Clinton is targeting college campuses to sustain sup- port from the younger generation. "The analysis I've seen sug- gests that young people dispropor- tionately support Clinton," Kinder said. "And candidates tend to go. where their support is greatest." Ethan Zindler, assistant press secretary for Clinton's headquar- ters, said Clinton accepts all invi- tations to speak at universities that are logistically possible for him to fit into his schedule. "We've had an overwhelming See VISITS, Page 2 Bush stumps to - Reagan Dems. in Macomb County SHROjUN MUSHERUaily President George Bush addresses a crowd of students and community members at Macomb Community College yesterday. Students shelve social ives or campaignin by Megan Lardner Daily Staff Reporter While Democratic presidential candidate Bill Clinton continued to push his "time for a change" message in Detroit yesterday, President George Bush poked fun at his op- ponent in Warren. "Change, change, change - that's all you'll have left in your pocket if Governor Clinton becomes president," Bush told an amused audience in a speech at Macomb Community College. At a noon rally at Detroit's Cobo Arena, Clinton told about 15,000 supporters that 1.4 million manufacturing jobs and 250,000 au- toworker jobs have been lost during Bush's term in office. "I want to be the job creator, not the job terminator," he said. Dozens of union jackets were visible in the largely blue-collar crowd, which persis- tently chanted, "Four more days." Clinton catered to the autoworker contingent, deny- ing charges that his support for higher gas mileage standards would eliminate auto jobs. "I. have never said, not one single time, that I will write into law a standard we can- not meet," he said. Bush also addressed employment issues. He said he hopes to bolster the economy with more small businesses offering jobs. The president also proposed less business regulation, lower taxes and control of federal spending. Bush attacked Clinton's record as Arkansas governor, citing the state's low na- tional ranking for education, criminal jus- tice, public protection and the environment. "We cannot let him do that to the United States of America," Bush told the crowd. The president criticized Clinton for "waffling" around the campaign issues and failing to be decisive. "You cannot be president if you try to be all things to all people," Bush said. But autoworker Roger Koromos, who at- tended the Cobo Arena rally, said he didn't agree with this characterization of Clinton. "I didn't hear any of that waffle-iron stuff the Republicans are talking about," he said, referring to Bush's charge that Clinton has flip-flopped on some issues. Bush repeatedly referred to vice presiden- tial candidate Al Gore as the "Ozone Man," because of his environmental policies. With Gore in office, the president said, Americans will be out of work and "up to our ears in owls." Steve Evans, a Macomb Community College second-year student, said Bush's chances are "very good right now." Bush will benefit from Perot's return to the race See CAMPAIGN, Page 2 Polls: Pres. race t still tightening EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) Democrat Bill Clinton led George Bush by 11.2 percentage points when the week started, but a volatile electorate might have shifted since then, Michigan State University pollsters said yesterday. The statewide poll found 42 percent of registered voters favoring Clinton, 30.8 per- cent backing the president and 19.1 percent listing independent Ross Perot as their choice. That left 8.1 percent undecided. The Institute for Public Policy and Social Research surveyed 732 voters by telephone Oct. 20-26. The poll had a margin of error of 3.62 percentage points either way. "I think it's tightened up even since See POLLS, Page 2 by Christine Young Daily Staff Reporter :Some U-M students have adjusted their social lives this semester, cutting out fra- ternity parties and bar-hopping, in favor of licking and stamping envelopes. "Campaigns are my social life," said Patti Lieberman, a U-M graduate student volun- teering for Rep. William Ford (D-13th District). "At 11:30 p.m., after the Clinton rally following the presidential debate, some of us went back to the office to do a mailing. That just shows how much we actually enjoy what we do," she said. For the past two months, LSA senior Adam Sank has devoted between 20 and 50 hours per week campaigning for Ford as well as taking nine credits at the U-M. "Trust me when I say that my job is chal- lenging," Sank said. "Sometimes it's physi- cally impossible for me to attend all my classes because I am constantly on the road. "Just the other day, I walked into my Spanish class and realized that there was a mid-term. I had no idea and didn't study for it but believe it or not, I did O.K.," Sank said. Sankbegan volunteering at the Democratic Headquarters in September and became -so involved that Ford's campaign team hired him. "I must say that I do get paid more than I would if I had a job (as a waiter) on campus, but the long hours and commitment to the campaign in a way make my job much harder," Sank said. See STUDENTS, Page 6 MSA parties lack students to fill slates by Robin Litwin Daily MSA Reporter With the deadline for candidate registration having passed, members of the Michigan Student Assembly are questioning the low numbers of students running as party-affiliated candidates in the upcoming November election. While the Conservative Coalition filled its eight-member LSA slate, the party has not found candidates for some of the smaller schools and colleges. The Progressive Party has re- cruited 10 candidates - five for LSA seats, one candidate to repre- sent the Medical School, and four candidates to fill Rackham graduate seats. Seats from other schools and colleges remain unfilled. LSA Rep. Nancy Eisenstein, a member of Conservative Coalition, said the problem stems from poor publicity on the part of both the parties. 0 "I don't think either one of the parties did a good job in letting peo- ple know that elections are coming up and that students could run on one of those two tickets," Eisenstein said. However, Election Director Alli- son Insley said that getting candidates for MSA seats does not seem to be a problem. "The numbers look excellent to me," Insley said. "We have far more people than we need running for each spot." She added there are a large num- ber of independents running in this election. Engineering Rep. Brian Kight, an independent member of the assem- bly, said that he sees the large num- ber of independents running as a sign that the parties have been poorly organized and managed. "If the parties were run better and were better organized then they would be recruiting better," Kight said. "When we've had more organi- zation, parties have had larger slates. But, in this election, there's been no organization - things have been done sort of last minute."

"There - is nothing right now to indicate that trouble is brewing," said Capt. Dan Branson of the Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD). "Halloween is always a busy time - the kids are always out, people have their parties, and there might be a little activity, but I don't see it being extraordinarily up." Branson said AAPD has assigned several extra officers to cruise neighborhood streets early in the evening andcampus streets later. "I expect the officers will be busy," he said.
