LOCAL/STATE The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 15, 1996 - 13 ,DALE Continued from Page 1 generation. We should knowthis stuff." Dole, who has served as the Republi- can leader in the Senate for 11 years, called for "fundamental change," espe- cially in welfare reform, Medicare and a balanced budget. This change is critical to the future of' the country and to today's children, Dole id. The currenttrend is "robbing (chil- Wen) ofthe opportunities they can have." "If you have children, if you have a job, ifyoupay taxes, ifyou think there's too much government regulation, ifyou think there's too much power in Wash- ington, D.C, you ought to take a look at the Republican candidate," he said. But Luis Watts, a Haden project manager, said he thought Dole's bal- anced budget plan was not sound for the country. "I don't think it's good economics," Watts said. "If you lock yourself into something like that, you completely prevent utilizing positive fiscal mea- sures that stimulate the economy." Dole has made downsizing the federal government in favor of returning more power to the states a major campaign plank. To illustrate his point, Dole read the 10th Amendment to the Constitution, hich reserves powers for the states or g.e people,ifnot delegated to the national government or denied to the states. "This is what we're about," Dole said. "I think most Americans are tired of the bickering in Washington, D.C. They want us to do the right thing." Dole listed his beliefs on many issues facing the country: English should be the official language. Voluntary prayer does not offend him. And he will ap- point only conservative judges. "If you're a liberal, don't apply for e bench in the Dole administration," he said. Family values, a common Republi- pan campaign theme this election sea- son, also came up. "He stands for family values. That's what my family stands for and Jon's family stands for," said St. Mary's Col- lege student Christopher Calleja, refer- -ring to his friend Jonathan Hartzell. 0 Hartzell and Calleja came to the rally wearing paper crowns bearing Dole's name and other Dole signs taped to their shirts. Hartzell's shirt read "Dole can Break-Dance" on the back. "We're just joking around with all this," Calleja said. "We think he's genu- ine. He's compassionate, cool and he's interested in us." Dole emphasized his ties to Michi- gan throughout the speech. In 1945, he f ent time at Percy Jones Army Medi- l Center in Battle Creek undergoing therapy' for a World War 11 injury. "I think they literally saved my life," Dole said. BUCHANAN Continued from Page 1 He berated General Motors Corp. executives for sending what could have been local jobs to Mexican plants, and suggested implementing high-trade tar- iffs for foreign imports to provide do- mestic tax cuts. After the speech, Buchanan ripped into Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kan.), the GOP front-runner, and denounced his tax policies. "Dole is responsible for the stagnant wages of working men and women in merica," he said. Allen Park resident Therese Faletti said she is impressed by Buchanan. "He's consistent. When he says some- thing, you can trust him," she said. "He won't waffle like those other candi- dates." Gerald Wall, Wayne County's chair for the Buchanan campaign, encour- aged those skeptical of the candidate's beliefs to attend a rally Monday. "He's not anti-Semitic," Wall said. "Those comments you hear reported are taken out of context." "The gun rally on Monday is being hosted by Larry Pratt, a Jewish fellow," he added. "Look around, I'm sure you'll see many Jewish supporters here to- day." While she waited outside before the speech for the candidate to arrive, Sophia Murzin, mother of Walt Indus- *ries' chair Walter Murzin, said she is an avid Buchanan supporter. "I like his stands on abortion, homo- sexuality and trade," she said. "It's quite an honor to have him here, too. He's not liked by everybody, but that's everybody's privilege. "He's an outspoken fellow, but he tells it like it is." SCHOOLS Continued from Page 2. that Engler acknowledges the unique role of research universities. "(Engler) wanted to separate apart the three uni- versities," he said, regarding the pro- Buchanan talks about student issues, primaries With Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kan.) expected to win the Republican presidential nomina- tion, and with Steve Forbes out of the race, conservative commen- tator Pat Buchanan spoke to Daily Staff Reporter Stephanie Jo Klein yesterday, explaining his political views and rea- sons for remaining in the race. Daily: How do you think your pro- posals sit with the voters of Michigan? Buchanan: I think the voters in Michigan, like most Americans, object to two things. One is taxes. They're now taking 30 percent of family in- come. Second is unfair trade deals that continue to send their factories and jobs overseas. ... I hope the voters in Michi- gan will support me because I think I stand for them for lower taxes and no more unfair trade deals. D: What do you think will help solve the problem of unfair trade deals? B: I would tell Japan that we want the. same access and penetration of their market as they have of ours. In the last 25 years, Japan has bought 200,000 American cars and sold us 40 million. That's not free and fair trade. And that will stop if I'm elected president of the United States. D: What do you have to offer as a candidate to young adults and college students? B: What I would offer them is try to offer the next generation the same kind of opportunities to get jobs, both white collar and blue collar, that Americans had when I was growing up. That America was an industrial and manu- facturing powerhouse. Wages for col- lege graduates ... were tremendously high by historic standards. But now we see college graduates moving home to live with their parents because they can't find jobs to live on their own.... There are more Americans working in government now than in manufactur- ing. This is the trend we want to see reversed. It's part of my campaign. D: Where do you stand on academic financial aid issues? B: I'm in favor of student loans for qualified students who work hard and need a loan to complete their education. That's one part of the federal education program that I would keep at the federal level. But I do believe that primary and secondary education belong at the state and local level. So we would shut down the Department of Education and get the money in block grants back to the states. D: How do you respond to allega- tions that you have supported anti- Semitic points of view? B: (Laughs). I just ignore them, usu- ally, and reject them. There's no doubt about it, I've been critical of the Israeli lobby and I think sometimes it deserves criticism. And there's no doubt that I defended that convent that is located just outside the gates of Auschwitz but that convent deserved to be defended. And there's no doubt I've defended individuals who have been accused of horrible crimes during World War II. The only people I defend are people I believe are innocent. I would not de- fend a guilty man, a man guilty of mass murder. ... Because you take these strong stands, people who can't defeat you on the issues call you names. D: Do you think that once the prima- ries are over the party will be able to be unified? B: The name-calling has been so nasty and has been so extensive that I think the Republican establishment has itself crippled the chances for Republican ELIZAETH LIPPMAN/Gaily Republican presidential hopeful Pat Buchanan shakes hands yesterday with supporters at a Harley-Davidson plant in Taylor. party unity, because there are many of my suppporters who feel very angry and bitter about the kinds of names they've been called. And they're not likely to look with fondness upon those of them who did it. D: What do you hope to accomplish by staying in the race? B: Well, I think Mr. Dole is winning the battle for delegates, and I think we're winning the battle to shape the direction ofthe future Republican Party. We intend to open it up to working class folks, the people who have supported me, the Democrats who voted for me. Ir lOr r r rrrr lrrll rrrl rr I r Hey, it's that thoughtful guy. Wonder what's on his mind? There's a lot going on at Northwestern this summer. It's right on Lake Michigan. The campus has beaches, bike trails, and jogging paths. Northwestern has music groups, theatrical performances, arts and crafts workshops... That wine-tasting minicourse sounded fun. Intramural sports... Volleyball and basketball tournaments... Outdoor movies... Plus, Northwestern Summer Session organizes great off-campus trips. They even plan an overnight canoe trip in Wisconsin. Maybe I'll take a few courses Summer in the Windy City sounds like a hot time. Chicago has jaz- zfests, bluesfests, and gospelfests, Cubs and Sox games, some of the best museums and art galleries in the world, and ethnic festivals all summer long... I'd have plenty to do, and it's all just minutes from this summer; earn a little extra credit. Northwestern has smaller classes during the summer, and they even have intensive course sequences in physics, chemistry, and nine languages. With Northwestern intensives, I could earn a full year of college credit in eight weeks. 0o 0 t he Northwestern campus. 0 0 O 0 Northwestern has great summer study abroad programs: three or six weeks in Prague, Czech Republic, six or eight weeks in Alexandria, Egypt, or six weeks in South Africa. All three give me the chance to earn college credit this summer. Great ideas for this summer... Northwestern University Summer Session '96 r . ri m -a - - - - - U 1 111 *A 1 1 !
