Time for Bush to
focus on home
Oh. what the heck — we didn't need ail that crazy
ol' money anyway!
In addition to the $2.5 billion in Soviet Union loan
guarantees approved earlier this year, our President re
cently agreed to hand over another $1.5 billion in food
aid to the strife-ridden country.
No problem! Except that it's getting a little tire
some playing party to these official games of "show
off.*' Should Bush actually check our balance sheet,
he'd see we haven't got the money he is so heroically
giving away.
OK, OK, so he's huving a little trouble finding his
way around Inc Oval Ut
ficc with those Ronnie
colored glasses on. but the
time for excuses is over.
We've got big problems at
home, folks, and it’s time
our fearless leader took a
hard look at them
We're the world's larg
est debtor nation for start
er.s. follower! up with
things like third world
conditions in our c ities, a
non-existent health care
system, underfunded edu
cation and housing pro

these brain lapses just come with the offu e.
It will do no good to s,i\ here- that Bush needs to
pav more attention to domestic affairs he's already
been reminded of this through even possible c hunnel
-- espec ially those omnipresent. omnipotent poll re
sults. (Though we all know those wild and c.ra/s {»o 11 -
sters never actually call anyone)
So how about just another generic “Shame on Bush
for saving the world before his country" statement?
Who knows, maybe tt'll finally break through at some
point.

elutions of ASt t) Vice I’rrsi
dent JuSonja W atson's shoplift
mg. failure to sfioiv up in i our!,
and failure to fulfill thr condi

of integrity and responsibility
At tile time of her shoplifting,
W atson \v as a member ol thr

lars of student funds And now
stir expet ts us to iielieve that
her ar lions don't reflect on her
i iiar.ii ter and ability to perform
tier toll' Of course iier actions
are a reflet lion on her i harat ter
and leadership abilities . and
those wtio say otherwise are
only fooling themselves
Watson has shown a total
lai k of ethics, honesty and
good judgment I know I am
only one of mam students who
is totally disgusted at her at.
thins Wi expel l .1 lot higher
standards from our elected
leaders
If \\ atsort wt re to (li t in the
best interests of the students
slit would resign mimed citeU
but I don't expect her to shut

How many people who were

How were the homeless lolks

Wouldn't it Irene!it the home
less more it OSl’IKt. supporters
