Social Security focus of debate

ernment would lose $1 trillion
from the trust fund, making it
even more difficult to fund Social
Security, Nelson said.
“The issue is, when you take
money out of Social Security,
what happens?” he said in the
same joint appearance. "It brings
the day of reckoning on Social
Security’s insolvency just that
much closer to you.”
Nelson supports a plan he
calls “Social Security Plus.” He
would place the trust fund in a
“lock box,” so that those funds
would be used only for Social
Security.
Then, the government could
extend Social Security’s solvency
to about 2055 by taking 10-15
percent of federal budget sur
pluses and placing them in the
trust fund, he said.
In a fund-raising letter to
supporters on Sept. 8, Nelson
wrote that Stenberg’s plan would
make Social Security’s financing
problems worse.
“On Social Security,” he
wrote, “my opponent offers a
plan that will destabilize the
Social Security system by with
drawing an estimated $1 trillion
from the Social Security system
during the next 10 years. This can
only lead to higher payroll taxes,
lower benefits and higher retire
ment ages.”
Stenberg sharply criticized
Nelson for that statement, saying
Nelson misrepresented his posi
tion.
Stenberg said he did not sup
port raising payroll taxes, cutting
benefits or raising the retire
ment age, which is now at 65 and
set to slowly rise to 67.
None of those outcomes
would be necessary, he said,
because his plan would raise
investment returns.
With projected budget sur
pluses of $3 trillion to $4 trillion,
the government could pay for
promised Social Security bene
fits while preserving Medicare,
paying down the national debt,
increasing defense spending and
cutting taxes, Stenberg said.
“We can build more wealth
for our future with this
approach,” he said during a Sept.
21 debate. “I do not support rais
ing the retirement age, nor rais
ing Social Security taxes. I hope I
won’t be hearing that during the
rest of the campaign."
Responded Nelson: “You’ll
continue to hear that as long as
you continue to propose taking
money out of the Social Security
system.”
Both candidates have
accused the other of flip-flop
ping on Social Security, but for
now - as on several other issues -
they hold views that give voters a
clear distinction between them.
Mfume: Issues cut across race
SPEAKER from page 1
made this nation distinct in its
finest hours,” he said.
Some of those finest hours
have included rallied support of
college students, he said.
But, political support from
college-age voters is not consis
tent and has not been evident
since the civil rights movement
of the 1960s, he said.
"It might take 50 years for
that pendulum to swing back,”
hesaid.
Right now, 18 to 30 year-olds
simply do not participate in pol
itics, Mfume said.
“Yeah, your issues are
important - to you. But you're
looked at in many respects as
political chumps.”
Rowena Pacquette, a stu
dent assistant for Student
Involvement and Minority
Student Development at the
Culture Center, who helped
organize Mfume’s visit to
Lincoln, said she could tell by
the looks on people’s faces that
Mfume was making an impact.
"Our biggest fear was that we
wouldn’t have enough people,
so I’m just happy to have a good
turnout,” she added.
Stacey Goodlett, a sopho
more communications major,
was excited by Mfume’s words.
"We really need some more
black people to come and help
lead the black students on cam
pus,” she said.

Candidates hold debate, avoid attacks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DANVILLE, Ky. — Republican
Dick Cheney and Democrat
Joseph Lieberman disagreed firm
ly but politely Thursday night
about military readiness, tax cuts
and the future of Social Security in
a gentlemanly debate of cam
paign understudies.
Sitting a few feet apart around
a small table, the vice presidential
candidates agreed that President
Slobodan Milosevic should give
up power in Yugoslavia, but both
opposed the use of American
troops to force him out
In a debate that ranged broad
ly over campaign issues,
Lieberman, a two-term
Connecticut senator, said
Republicans want to “raid the
Medicare trust fund to pay for
their tax cuts.”
But Cheney said there was
more than enough money to go
around, and it is “totally reason
able” to give relief to all taxpayers.
The two men sparred as they
sat together for their only debate
of the fall campaign. The atmos
phere on a specially constructed
stage at Centre College was far
more relaxed than Tuesday night
when presidential candidates A1
Gore and George W. Bush met in
Boston for the first of their three
scheduled encounters.
Each man pledged at the out
set to avoid personal attacks.
Cheney took that one step further.
"I promise not to bring up your
singing,” he said to lieberman.
“And I promise not to sing,”
Lieberman replied with a smile.
But even good-natured com
ments reflected the widely differ
ing views the two men hold.
Pointing to a strong economy,
Lieberman said most people
would say they are better off then
they were eight years ago.
"I am pleased to see from the
newspapers that you’re better off
than you were 8 years ago too,” he
said to Cheney, a reference to the
multi-million dollar separation
package the former oil services
company executive received
when he left to join the GOP ticket
“And I can tell you, Joe, that the
government had nothing to do
with it,” Cheney said

Campus race relations
focus of discussion
RACE from pagel
Campbell, director of the
Campus Recreation Center and
panel member, “but also recog
nize our commonalties.”
The panel said most univer
sity students needed to be more
aware of racial issues.
“The students in the majori
ty don’t think it’s their issue,
when in reality it affects every
one,” said Minisa Chapman, a
graduate assistant at the Hewitt
Center and panel member.
After the panel discussion,
participants said they felt specif
ic action needed to be taken on
campus.
Changes in recruitment and
retention of students of color,
more emphasis on multicultural
events on campus and disburse
ment of international students
throughout campus residence
halls were needed, they said.
Olubodun and other people
at the dialogue said they felt
actions needed to be discussed
not only for the effect they
would potentially have on cam
pus, but also for the effect
throughout the community and
the state.
“The university is a place m
the state that people look up to
as a leader on issues like this,"
Olubodun said.
