Babbitt tries image change on road to White House
By Rudy Klancnik
Daily Reporter
Editor’s note: This is the first in a
series of articles profiling the presi-
dential candidates for 1988. Friday’s
story will feature Republican George
Rush.
At the beginning of the road to the
presidency, Bruce Babbitt was thought
of as the most unlikely of the so-called
“seven dwarfs” to be the represen-
tative of the Democratic party in Nov-
ember's national elections.
Although the 49-year-old governor
from Arizona does not possess either
the television charisma or the fund-
*&iL{ '
Analysis;*
raising power of his opponents, his sol id
base of ideas on key issues and the
answers for those ideas has Babbitt
slowly moving up in most polls.
“Babbitt has made a move already
in the polls, especially in Iowa,” Billy
Rogers, Babbitt’s campaign manager in
Austin, told The Daily in a recent inter-
view. “He gives people answers.”
Babbitt is a graduate of the Harvard
Law School, the University of Newcastle
in England and the University of Notre
Dame.
Actually, Babbitt’s first career goal
was not politics but geophysics; he
wanted to be a geologist. However, after
a short time of working on rock forma-
tions in Bolivia, Babbitt decided to turn
his thoughts toward law and politics.
Babbitt was an attorney with the U S.
Office of Economic Opportunity from
1965 to 1967 before teaming with a
private law firm. Brown, Vlassis & Bain
of Phoenix. In March 1978 Babbitt
became the attorney general of Arizona
Willis prepares for primary
Library provides registration cards
By Lynn Frank
Daily Reporter
NT students, faculty and staff
members and Denton residents can get
voter registration cards from the Willis
Graduate
to aid cancer
researchers
By Steve Delafield
Daily Reperter
The Office of Cancer Communi-
cations of the National Cancer Institute
in Bethesda, Md., has given an NT
graduate a paid, six-month internship.
Eva Gay Osborne earned a master’s
of science degree in library science in
December 1987.
Osborne, who has a background in
therapeutic recreation and physical
sciences, will work for professionals in
cancer research, searching books and
magazines and major databases.
Margaret Irby Nichols of library and
information sciences said Osborne is
well suited for this because "students
in this profession have to be very people-
oriented.”
"Libraries are primarily about
people, and we use the books and
materials to support thier needs,"
Nichols said. "We are dealing with
people; we don’t just sit quietly and
read. That’s not our function.”
On completion of the internship,
Osborne expects to return to NT for
further graduate work, Nichols said.
Library in time to meet the Feb. 7
registration deadline for the Super
Tuesday primary.
“Right now we have about 600 cards
left and we have asked the Secretary
of State’s Office in Austin to send
more,” Melody Kelly, government
documents librarian, said Tuesday.
The NT government documents
facility on the third floor of the library
has given away 1,200 cards since Sep-
tember. Kelly said.
"We started to give out the cards
two years ago as a public service, and
there has been a steady demand for them
ever since," she said.
Those who wish to register for the
primary must be at least 17 years and
10 months old on or before the regis-
tration deadline. The deadline is 30 days
prior to the primary.
After applicants fill out the proper
information, they must mail the cards
to their counties' voter registration
offices, within 30 days a voter certifi-
cate will be mailed back to the applicant.
Kelly said that people who would like
to register but who are unable to obtain
cards may nave someone in their im-
mediate families register for them.
Although the librarians are not
allowed by law to assist anyone in filling
out the cards, an informative brochure
is available at the government documents
desk.
“We can give out the registration
cards and some limited information, but
we cannot actually register anyone."
Kelly said.
Those who would like more infor-
mation on the voter registration process
can contact the Secretary of State’s
Office in Austin toll free at 1-800-252-
Votc (8683).

and then became governor of the state
on Jan. 5, 1987.
Babbitt’s most noted achievement
while governor was his alternative
medicaid program, which he helped
bring to his state. He has been married
for 18 years to the former Harriet Coons,
an attorney in Phoenix, and they have
two children.
BABBITT’S VIEWS ON . . .
NATIONAL SECURITY. He would
move toward a conventional, non-
nuclear defense force for Europe. He
also proposes a 50 percent cut in offen-
sive nuclear forces and a complete ban
on testing or deployment of anti-satellite
or anti-missile systems. He favors con-
tinuing Strategic Defense Initiative
research, but he opposes deployment.
. . . CENTRAL AMERICA.
Babbitt strongly criticizes U.S. support
for the Contras and says that more
attention should be paid to the economic
problems of Mexico.
. . . THE BUDGET. He calls for a
$40 billion deficit reduction package,
half from new taxes and 25 percent each
from defense and domestic spending
cuts. Babbitt also plans to tie all gov-
ernment programs to need, including
taxing Social Security benefits for
higher-income recipients.
. . . TAXES. Babbitt would increase
revenues, and he has proposed a phased-
Babbitt
in 5 percent national consumption tax
that would raise $220 billion over five
years. He favors phasing out the second-
home mortgage deduction by 1990,
saving $1.3 billion over the next five
years.
, . . TRADE. He says he would
renegotiate current international trade
agreements to require countries to keep
their aggregate trade accounts with all
nations in balance or face across-the-
board tariffs. He opposes unilateral
retaliation as protectionist and says
Democratic candidate Dick Gephardt’s
amendment could trigger a trade war.
The Gephardt amendment would man-
date automatic U.S. retaliation against
trading partners failing to reduce sur-
pluses unless the president specifically
waives such action.
. . . AIDS. Babbitt supports increases
in research and education to about $1
billion this year. He opposes mandatory
testing except for prisoners and immi-
grants. He advocates explicit prevention
advice in public school, especially in
fifth to seventh grades, as well as in-
struction about abstinence and restraint.
Babbitt also advocates universal day
care, calls for the federal government
to lead the way in expanding preschool
progams, and calls for $20 billion in
new money for teacher pay and im-
proved public schools. Babbitt also
thinks workers should share more
equitably in the ups and downs of their
industries and play a more integral role
in their direction.
