No organization is faultless,
but the staff at the West Library
is anxious to provide help when
ever asked Every effort has been
made to make the material in
the Library as accessible as pos
sible, but if patrons cannot locate
what they need, they should seek
assistance from the Library staff
before complaining of inadc
quacios
Sincerely,
Douglas M. Ferrier
Dean of the Library
Lazy voters?
It seems that all I've heard
through the election campaign is
that people are really apathetic
concerning the presidential can-
didates. I keep hearing the same
thing over and over again, “I
know George Bush is a nice guy
and that Michael Dukakis has
balanced ten state budgets in a
row, but where do they stand on
the issues?” Folks that I know
and have seen or heard on vari
ous news programs have all
shared similar thoughts. It occurs
to me that it’s not the candidates
that are buried in rhetoric, but
the voters.
tunately, the candidates have
been able to spend most of their
TV time answering the other can-
didate's accusations Maybe this
isn't what we need to hear from
our candidates, but America is
hardly a virgin to mudslinging
At their respective rallies, the
candidates are able to talk about
the issues — where they stand,
where the opposition stands The
issues, however, don't make it
onto the evening news. The mud-
slinging docs because that's what
the voters seem to want to see.
The truly interested, active
voter can find the issues very
easily. Read a newspaper If you
can’t find what you're looking
for, call the candidates' head-
quarters. The headquarters of a
candidate are always starving for
interested voters. Here one can
find information on the candi-
dates' platforms and where the
candidate stands on the issues.
I've heard a lot of talk In this
campaign that there are not any
issues. We as college students
08-25 years old) have plenty of
issues to be concerned about.
Our parents are spending and
spending. We have a deficit of
at least two hundred billion dol-
lars and it’s not getting any
smaller. Who gets to pay for
cut the guts out of the student
aid program. Anybody up in the
financial aid office will tell you
that Seventy-five percent of the
students on this campus are at-
tending with the help of some
form of financial aid. Take that
aid away and very few would be
able to attend this institute. This
is an issue that concerns not only
the student, but the faculty and
the administration because with-
out students, Texas Wesleyan
wouldn't be able to pay its teach-
ers, office and maintenance staff,
or the mortgage on our $10 mil-
lion library.
We who are embarking on our
adult life of a career and a family
need to be desperately concerned
with affordable housing. My pa-
rents bought a house in 1960 for
$12,000. A comparable house to-
day is valued in excess of $85,000.
These are issues that concern our
generation.
Call your candidates' headquar-
ters and make sure that they
have your best interests at heart.
Call the other guys and get a
different angle. Don't be a lazy
voter. oVte your mind, not the
warm feeling inside that you get
from the candidate’s commercials.
Thank you,
Aron Head

said, “The video has a racial
undertone. Every furloughed in-
mate shown is a black man.” She
said the purpose of the video is
to scare people into thinking
that Dukakis wants to free all
murderers and rapists, and that
he has no concern for the safety
of law abiding citizens.
Almost all states have prison
furlough programs, as does the
federal government. The Massa-

was offered to encourage a public

Young Democrat Kenworthy

public forum is a meeting for
discussion and opposing views.
There was no way to discuss op-
posing views because all the Re-

the showing, she said.
