Open Monday - Saturday www.umversitycommons.com e’ve got sp at www.dailyemerald.com Chuck Kennedy Knight Ridder Tribune Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., addresses a crowd at Georgetown University, in Washington, D.C., on April 7, KERRY continued from page 1 economic policy that's seen us lose three million jobs, which is the great est job loss in the history of the coun try since Herbert Hoover was presi dent," Kerry said. "I think it's a pretty stark choice and we want students to begin to recognize their power in helping to decide the outcome of this election and have an impact on their own lives." Kerry criticized Bush for not help ing states with their budget problems, proposing a $25 billion aid package to states as well. Kerry also addressed concerns about a new military draft, saying he would not support it. "(Increasing military forces) will be done by having a more sensible foreign policy where young people don't feel as if their leadership is making irresponsible decisions based on their presence in the mili tary," he said. "If we have a more rea sonable approach to our relation ship with the rest of the world, I don't think you'll have any problem at all fulfilling ... those positions." Kerry suggested a new program to provide young people who do not serve in the military with an option to commit two years to local community service in exchange for four years of college tuition. Kerry said his other priorities in clude the future availability of Social Security, affordable health care, creat ing new jobs and developing renew able energy. He also wants young voters to be come more actively involved in the political system. "Young people have this enormous power and they really have to under stand it and embrace it and go out and use it," Kerry said. "What we need to do is make some of the issues that matter to people voting issues again." The session was the latest part of Kerry's Change Starts with U Campus Tour 2004, a series of trips to univer sity campuses to meet with students. Sophomore Jonathon Hogate, treasurer of the University College Re publicans, said Kerry often tries to damage Bush's reputation while ad vocating costly programs. "It appears that he wants to do a lot of financial things," Hogate said. "However, he seems to be kind of backing himself into a corner saying he doesn't plan on raising taxes dra matically. How does he plan on creat ing a $25 billion dollar aid package to the states if he doesn't plan on raising taxes significantly?" Hogate said he also opposes Kerry's service program. "I think that the country will be put ting more money into it than it will be benefiting the country as a whole," Hogate said. "Therefore, I think it will be draining funds from a country that's already running in a deficit." Senior Kevin Curtin, chairman of the University College Democrats, said he is generally pleased with Ker ry's campaign priorities. "I'm glad that it seems like now he's making higher education a big issue," Curtin said. "I hope that higher education doesn't get put on the back burner."

He old them that 20,000 men have lots their lives needlessly since Nixon took office and they applaud. He told them that 300 millionaires paid no taxes last year and they share his silent frown. But Kerry's real message was, "We must get out and canvass for George McGovern if we want to reclaim our country," This message was not as s passively accepted by the audience, a group geared to take to the streets. A man in the back shouted his sup port for the "revolution of today." Ker ry let the man spit out may excited ac cusations, then patiently painted him into a comer. Suddenly the student said, "All right. I'll cut my hair and knock on doors for your man." If the campaign meeting had been more slickly organized, one would strongly suspect the back-of-the crowd heckler of being a plant. But with the informal disorder of the gathering, the conversion was written off as just one more odd occurrence during a week full of such happen ings. After leaving LCC, Kerry headed on to the University for yet another speech in the seemingly endless pa rade of them. When he finished, the remainder of this day was given to such things as taping a interview for a radio station in Klamath Falls and lec turing local McGovern campaigners on the techniques of canvassing. But for a handsome young Yale graduate seeking to get ahead in the often mad race of electoral politics, such tasks are necessary. Every tomor row brings a new state of the same.
