The Michigan Daily - Thursday, September 15, 1994 - 7 Dems distance campaigns from Clinton, incumbents SPEED Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON - When New York Rep. Louise M. Slaughter's Republican challenger assails her as a tax-and-spend liberal, she changes the subject. Instead of discussing national is- sues, the hard-pressed Rochester, N.Y., Democrat points to the rewards she has helped her town win from Washington: an airport expansion, a new high-tech research facility and ,harbor improvements to protect against the ravages of Lake Ontario. The contest between Slaughter and GOP challenger Renee Davison illus- trates the head-on collision between the overall political strategies being pursued by the two major parties in the November election, in which nearly 500 House and Senate seats are at stake. Mindful of the widespread voter discontent over national issues, Re- publicans are trying to make this cam- paign a referendum on the party in power. Democrats, putting their faith in the old axiom that all politics is local, are striving to define each race in terms of what it means for each individual political battleground. "Nationally there's an anti-incum- bent mood, and a mood against Presi- dent Clinton," says Slaughter's me- dia consultant, Joe Trippi. "If you get enmeshed in that, you lose." To avoid debacle, many Demo- cratic candidates are trying to dis- tance themselves from Clinton and his sagging poll ratings. But Republicans have no inten- tion of allowing that to happen. GOP candidates will find ways to "attach the local incumbent to President Clinton," predicts pollster Bill McInturff, whose firm counsels about 60 GOP House and Senate candi- dates. Democratic strategists contend that the Republicans are exaggerating Clinton's impact on the election. "I don't think this election is about the president per se," says pollster Mark Mellman, who counsels 18 can- didates around the country. "Clinton is only part of the background for the campaign. In the foreground are the individual candidates, and the results will depend on how people evaluate them against each other."

Los Angeles Times EUREKA, Calif. - Joan Chang sits at her desk in the front row, listen- ing carefully and taking notes. With her baseball cap and book bag, she looks like any 8-year-old student - except this is college calculus and she is here against the law. Joan, like her brother and two sis- ters, is trying to get a college educa- tion without the bother of graduating from third grade. But this semester, she has been officially barred from community college and threatened with arrest if she keeps attending class. In her second year at College of the Redwoods, the pint-sized scholar has become a college drop-in, ex- plaining that she loves calculus but didn't much care for her year in el- ementary school. "The kids were mean," she recalled. The case of the four Chang chil- dren, who range from ages 6to 13, has touched off a heated debate over what is the best education for brilliant youngsters - studying differential equations or learning how to get along with children their own age. John Chang, a Taiwanese immi- grant, is determined to get his chil- dren a college education. He was once arrested and hauled off campus in handcuffs. College administrators, however, contend that cash-starved community colleges should not take the place of the beleaguered public school system. "This is a test case of statewide policies restricting enrollment in com- munity colleges," said Cedric A. Sampson, College of the Redwoods president. "The bottom line is, we're full up and we can't become an alter- native delivery system for K-12." Neither of the Changs has a job or other visible means of support. They devote themselves to teaching their children at home. For the most part, the youngsters keep to themselves. But there is no argument that they are bright. The two older children began their college studies by the age of 10; recent IQ tests of the two younger children place them in the gifted to genius range. The Changs were so intent on plac- ing all four children in community college that the family moved here from Chico after nearby Butte Col- lege refused to admit the three girls. At first College of the Redwoods, just south of Eureka, accepted all four children. They completed at least three courses in academic subjects during the fall 1993 semester, including Joan, who got an A in algebra at age 7. This year, the college admitted the two older children - 10-year-old Mimi and 13-year-old Matthew - because they had shown their ability to study at the college level. Sampson, however, refused to re- admit Joan and her 6-year-old sister, Karen, this fall. He said he had not seen proof that the youngsters met the college's entrance standards or that the local school district could not pro- vide the courses they need. Last month, when Joan and Karen began attending math classes any- way, Sampson sent the girls letters warning them they could be arrested for trespassing. "This is a very closed society," Chang said. "They worry that my children are doing better than their children. TEACHER NEEDED in accredited pre- school program. Experience/education preferred. 30 hrs./wk. $6.50 - $7.00/hr. Call 663-9753.
