ter will be a facilitator.

issues and to hear the “public voice”
through discussion They will learn
to practice politics through a pro­
cess o f working toward a public
choice and involve and empower
people to participate actively in their
government.

Thoughts
Sources Say He C an’t Take the
Political Mudslinging
Colin Powell may not have the
stomach for politics, according to
Washington insiders, who say he’s
upset by attacks from the right
wing of the Republican Party on
his moderate stands on abortion,
gun control and affirmative ac­
tion.
“Dole would like Powell as a
running mate,” one insider told
Parade magazine columnist Walter
Scott, “but the right wing thinks
that would be a disaster, since it
would give Powell the inside track
on the Presidential nomination four
years from now if Dole wins.
Powell, as a military man, isn’t
used to all this mudslinging, and
he doesn’t like it.”
In fact, Powell would prefer to
