If elected, it's not certain if they realJy could bring
about the annihilation of ASUN. Their best bet would
be to remain in office, do nothing, and destroy AS UN's
effectiveness and credibility for years to come.
The Reach Party seems to have many concrete
examples on how they will "reach out" for student input.
They also seem to have a clear understanding of the true
purpose of ASUN, that being to act as a voice of student
concerns. However, one wonders how effective they will
be at using the ideas once they get them.
Matt Wallace, the party's presidential candidate,
seems stuck in the same groove as the Action Party.
The issues he addresses the firmest may not be as import
ant as the campaign has led us to believe. For example,
it's great that Reach is working toward moving the culture
center on campus. But hasn't that already been decided?
But Wallace's "town house" meetings and regular senator
office hours are steps in the right direction.
Larry Weixelman and his Students for Political Aware
ness Regarding Education is an idealist organtion if
there's ever been one. Despite this, SPARE seems to be
the only party that really hits the basic issue. ASUN
should be used as a political voice of the students in order
for them to have a tangible effect on legislative and
administrative policy. However, Weixelman seems vague
on how he can accomplish this ultimate goal. Sometimes,
ideas are not enough.
Tliis article has been very wishy-washy, and purpose
fully so. It's simply meant as the impressions and com
ments from someone who has become familiar with each
party and its platforms.
This next part won't be wishy-washy. VOTE. Whether
you write in "No Viable Choice" on your ballot, or vote
Action, Reach, Spare or Anarky at least show enough
respect for yourself and your education to take part.

Run net's stumble but the face goes on
They had been racing since 1945. Both were veterans
of World War II, and some argued that they were past
their prime. Still, they seemed to be everyone's favorites
and it was a sure bet that if one didn't win the race, the
other one would.
The distance of the race didn't seem to matter to
either of them. In the beginning, they raced for racing's
sake. After a while, they began to race because they
enjoyed the notoriety that comes with winning.
They both had similar ways of getting in shape. They
threw themselves into physical activity until some said
that they seemed to be near death. As they spent money
on training facilities, sometimes they forgot to take care
of their families. While they primed themselves for comp
etition their muscles grew, but they did not give enough
attention to intellectual growth and seemed to become
less concerned about the state of others. As long as they
had economic and social backing, they were satisfied to
keep competing.
When each had spent money on every known method
of strength maintenance, they began to develop their
own systems. Then, they each started to make systems

that made methods used by the other less productive.
Both had gone through various trainers, coaches and
managers. These helpers were responsible not only for
keeping the runners well groomed, they were also hired
to maintain the emotional support of the public. This
support was gained through the use of propaganda.
Sometimes they would point out the other opponent's
strengths in an effort to collect more revenue for their
maintenance programs.
The contestants entered races all over the world.
There were some in Western Europe, Turkey, Cuba,
South America, China, Poland, Vietnam, South Africa.
Races took place in the United States and the Soviet
Union as well. These two nations sponsored the runners.
Sometimes one of the runners would enter a contest
and find that the other wasn't registered. Neither seemed
to mind, though; instead they saw the competition as
a chance to warm up. It was an opportunity for more
practice before the two came into conflict again.
Although one or the other always emerged victorious
in individual races, neither one of them could boast of a
superior track record. When one came out on top in a
particular contest, he would talk of retirement. The other
contestant would usually persuade the winner to compete
again by insulting the winner's strength. Neither one
could quit when they were down and neither one was
allowed to quit when they were ahead. So competition
continued and their next race promised to be the biggest
ever.
When the day of the race dawned, supporters of both
sides lined up to place bets. Even those that didn't put
money on either side bet their lives.
The gun went off on time and the contestant from the
United States shot off like a missile. The runner from
Russia was quick to retaliate. Neither side wanted to
lose. It was a close race to the end, and fireworks greeted
the runners at the finish. As they approached the line
neck-to-neck, both of the contestants stumbled. They
looked at each other with sad eyes and embraced. For
the first time in their careers they understood each other.
The cost of their understanding was the death of
humanity.

NUCLEAR
FREEZE
QUIZ
1. Why does the nuclear freeze "survev" nive
only one choice to students even though
many alternatives exist to end the arms race?
2. Why are hundreds of dollars from off
campus sources being spent to put the issue
on the ballot and convince students to supp
ort it?
3. If the freeze group really wants an accur
ate reading of student opinion, why have
they chosen to spend so much to put the
question on a ballot and then campaign
for student support rather than conduct an
unbiased random survey?
4. Why does the survey call the freeze "veri
fiable" even though the lack of verification
is a major reason why many experts oppose
the nuclear freeze?
It doesn't take an expert to see what is
going on. 30YCOTT THE NUCLEAR
