The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 14, 1994 - 7 Michigan's 13th Congressional District Pn OHN SCHALL, REPUBLICAN By SCOT WOODS Daily Staff Reporter The sixth of seven children in a large Catho- lic family, John Schall, the Republican candi- sate for Michigan's 13th congressional dis- trict, was born and raised in Livonia, a western Detroit suburb. Schall, who now resides in Ann Arbor, is a University alum, having earned a bachelor's degree with honors in political science in 1982. He took that degree, along with a prestigious Harry S. Truman scholarship, and entered Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School for Public Policy. He then entered public service. 0 "I worked in the budget office during the Reagan administration, as a civil servant, mind you, not as a political," Schall said. "I've always been a policy guy." Schall's career took a leap in 1988, when he received a call from a Bush administration who offered hiai a job in the White House as Domestic Policy Council deputy. Schall served for two and one-half years on the council, helping write Bush administration proposals on a variety of topics. "I had a broad portfolio in there: education issues, health care, welfare issues, drug-con- trol strategy. Basically the whole social welfare world, I guess I'd call it." Schall said. In 1991, Schall was moved to the Labor De- partment, serving as chief of staff until the end of the Bush administration. "I saw very clearly the Washington beast, the Washington mentality in- truding into every aspect of our lives, where it doesn't belong." Schall decided to run for Congress, expecting to take on Democrat Bill Ford in the fall election. But Ford retired, and state Rep. Lynn Rivers (D- Ann Arbor) won the Democratic primary. In general, the campaign has been issues- oriented on both sides, punctuated by only a few negative remarks. Schall, a staunch conservative, has tried to cast Rivers as an "ultra-liberal," but in so doing he has misrepresented her positions at least twice. In campaign literature, Schall said Rivers "wants asingle-payer sys- tem" for health care and claimed Rivers does not want to cut the con- gressional bud- get. But in an interview with the Daily, Rivers said she is open to a variety of health care plans, and is pained by the federal deficit, which she said is "sapping our strength." The two candidates agree on a handful of issues: They support the line-item veto. They both advocate a policy of keeping three-time violent offenders in jail for life. They both praised the federal government's switch to direct student loans. But John Schall's political beliefs are more conservative than his opponent's. His posi- tions on several key issues of the 1994 cam- paign follow, mostly in his own words Contract With America: "What we did was put a real accountability mechanism back into American politics. I didn't make a campaign pledge, I didn't make a campaign promise; people have been doing that for decades. I signed a contract saying what it is I'm for, what it is I'll work for. And if I don't, I signed the contract, get rid of me in two years. "What we actually did was turn politics on its head. What we did was tell the American people very clearly, in writing, six weeks be- fore an election, 'Here it is: what I stand for. Read it, study it, decide whether or not you support it.,,' Health Care: "The issue for the 1990s. I oppose Bill Clinton's attempt to move virtually every Ameri- can into a government-run health care system. One-hundred percent of the system isn't broken; for 85 percent of the people it works just fine. In fact, it's by far the best health care system in the world. There is a problem for 15 percent of the population. To me, focus those solutions on where the problem lies. "The fact is that 75 percent (of the 37 million uninsured Americans) have insurance at some point during the year. But for some months of the year, they're basically moving from job to job. The way to solve it is to make health insurance portable: You can take your health insurance as you move from that other job until you get to the next job. I proposed that in 1992." Implement tax-free individual medical savings accounts, Schall said, to encourage people to take individual responsibility. Schall supports medical liability reform, which he said will keep health care dollars from going to lawyers. * Schall wants to prohibit insurance com- panies from turning people away for pre-exist- ing conditions. "The thing is you can do that in a matter of three weeks. You don't have to be in this overall debate for a year or two about reform- ing the system from ground zero on up." * He wants to maintain federal spending on medical research. "I'm a budget-cutter, I'm a fiscal conserva- tive. (The National Institute of Health) is not a place to cut." Crime: "It used to be crime was in certain areas, like a bad part of Detroit. You knew where it was; you sort of avoided it. It isn't that any- more. Now people are generally afraid to go home to a dark house at night. "We do need more prisons, and some of that's coming on-line. To me the one big prob- lem in this system is prisoners being released early. Seventy percent of all violent crimes in this country are committed by the same 8 percent of the criminals.... On average, they're serving 31 percent of their sentences. I want genuine truth in sentencing to make them serve a minimum 85 percent of the sentence they justly receive in the court system. "There's 1.33 million people in the United States who are incarcerated, an absolutely huge percentage of our population, and maybe it is too high. But what I'm saying is that hard-core better be in there, and they better stay in there. I think what we did, somehow we got the worst of both worlds. We put a lot of people in prison, and because we had too many people in prison, we've started releasing people early, including the hard-core and probably some people who shouldn't go to prison in the first place. The Federal Budget Deficit: "The federal deficit is out of control. Forty years of liberal Democrats controlling the United States Congress, there has never been fiscal discipline. People want it finally to hap- pen. All we saw was taxes go up as they spent more and more money. Taxes need to come down, spending needs to come down; get the deficit under control. "The American people do want a balanced- budget amendment, they do want a line-item veto. I actually signed a contract with America that puts me on the record for supporting it. And it is a defining difference in my campaign. Yeah, I'm a fiscal conservative, I'm the one who does want to cut spending, who will get taxes down, who does want a balanced-budget amendment. And my ultra-liberal Democratic opponent is on the opposite side of those. Photos by MIKE FITZHUGH/Daily CHERRIN Continued from page 3 memorize. As Cherrin says, "Life is not a standardized test." He argues against relying heavily such tests as the California chievement Test. Instead, schools should focus more on learning and hands-on experiences of students in classrooms, he says. Cherrin believes in "lifelong education, because people are lifelong learners." He said he wants to give opportunities to others, espe- cially young people, because of the many opportunities he has had. _ One of Cherrin's main goals if elected is to "take time to find the issues behind the issues." Cherrin said he is concerned with "uniformed vot- ers and uninformed government," which he believes exists in Michigan and in Washington. Cherrin opposes "uninformed" elected officials votingonly along party lines. Ifelected, he pledges to vote in the state House for what's best for his dis- ;trict, than the state, not his party. Cherrin is a Democrat because, "I believe more in the ideologies of the Democratic party than the ideologies of the Republican party." Nevertheless, Cherrin says voters should "vote for the person, not the party." He believes voters are too concerned with labels. Despite the fact that elections are in November, and he graduates in April, Cherrin is confident that he could juggle college and holding an office in the state House. He noted that Gov. John Engler finished law school during the first part of his political career. Already Cherrin is proving his dedi- cation to his campaign because he goes home every day - a mere 45 minutes from campus - to go door to door for three or four hours on rollerblades. He has done this for three months, and he has been to more than 6,000 homes educating constituents on his campaign and reducing any confusion. NOTES Continued from page 3 However, police told Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity such action is illegal, despite a sign warning drivers of the policy. The fraternity used to charge driv- ers $15 to reclaim their plates. The local ordinances specify li- cense plate removal is a theft, and parking lots must have a sign telling drivers where cars will be towed if parked illegally. Hazen Arnold, president of Lambda Chi Alpha, said said the mea- sure was intended to prevent drivers from moving their cars before a tow truck arrives, as the fraternity is charged for the call. Washington State's Theta Chi fra- ternity often chains cars to cement blocks and charges $25 to unlock them. Police said this practice is also illegal. Campus environmental projects recognized College campuses around the country with innovative approaches to environmental protection are pro- filed in the "Campus Year in Re- view," published by the National Wildlife Federation. The University of Michigan is the focus of three of the 224 entries in the 190-page guidebook. One profile tells how undergradu- ate students moved 115 trees from the construction sites at the UGLi and Randall Lab to new homes. Another reports on ENACT's movement to get the University to purchase only recycled paperforcam- pus use. The third reviews a project from last spring that recycled 30 tons of waste from the student move out. "College students around the na- tion are taking action and coming up, with new, compelling ideas to ad- dress environmental concerns," said Nick Keller, spokesman for the Nas tional Wildlife Federation. w ANN ARBOR Public Schools- School-aged child care assistant for before & after school programs @ various schools.
