Debates: Government role separates candidates ■ Continued from Page 1 designed to scare elderly Ameri cans. “I am trying to save your Medicare, just as I rescued Social Security,” Dole said. The former Kansas senator told the viewing audience, “If I could not cut taxes and balance the budget at the same time, I would not look you in the eye tonight.” Dole was the aggressor throughout the night, asserting time and again that Clinton’s con servative election-year rhetoric about curfews, school uniforms and welfare reform was at odds with a liberal record of giant tax increases and a giant government takeover of health care. “I wouldn’t want to be a liberal either — Mr. President — but you are stuck with it,” Dole said. Clinton shook his head at the label and called it the “golden oldie” of Republican presidential Oregon daily emerald worldwide http://darkwing. uoregon.edu/~ode campaigns. He said that given his record of deficit reduction, paring welfare rolls and supporting the death penalty, “I just don’t think that dog will hunt this time.” For all the sharp exchanges, there were several moments of laughter. “You can probably tell we like each other, we just see the world in different ways,” Clinton said. And indeed they did. “I trust the people. The presi dent trusts the government,” Dole said. Clinton said he trusted the peo ple, too, but that the government had a critical role in areas such as protecting the environment, putting more police on the street and regulating tobacco sales to keep children from smoking. Dole said the economy was not growing nearly as fast as it could, and that millions of Americans were feeling an economic squeeze. “Americans are working harder and paying higher taxes,” he said. “ ... I want the govern ment to pinch pennies for a change instead of the American families.” With answer after answer, Clin ton sought to portray Dole as bent on cutting or gutting vital govern ment programs such as Head Start and student loans. He also criticized Dole’s proposal to elim inate the Education Department. “I think my ideas are better for the future,” the president said. Dole was equally determined to shed any suggestion he was hard hearted, referring obliquely to his own struggles overcoming grave World War II wounds and mak ing the case that his school choice plan would allow poor in ner-city children to go to better schools. “I’m not some extremist out here,” Dole said. “I care about people.” Reaction: Rennie’s Landing hosts debate party ■ Continued from Page 1 winning the presidency. Many students said the de bates were an obvious media blitz that didn’t offer them use ful information. “I wish there was some way to get the straight political opin ion, without the jargon,” said Melissa Berwind, a senior in history. "This is a media move ment where they are trying to promote themselves. ” Harrison Lynch, former chairman of the College Repub licans at the University, said al though Clinton is a better speaker, Dole has more to offer students. “The conservative message is to allow you to do things for yourself,” he said. “If students listen to that, they will realize it gives them greater potential to overcome obstacles.” But Lynch admitted that Dole needs to polish his speak ing skills. “If it had been [Ronald] Rea gan with the same data, he could have killed Clinton,” he said. And some students were pleased to see their presidential choice shine. “Bill’s doing really well and Dole’s getting more and more nervous,” said Trina Brink, a junior in psychology. “Every one knew Bill was a better de bater.” The next presidential debate will be Oct. 16 in San Diego, Calif.
