Tuesday, February 28, 1984/The Battalion/Page 3 Neeley, Lewis discuss issues am nt By KAREN WALLACE Staff Writer Richard Smith and Neeley .ewis, the front-runners in the fetrict 14 state representative’s race, faced questions on crime, education and the Permanent University Fund Monday night ala debate sponsored by MSC Political Forum. Hloth candidates answered the planned questions similarly, but disagreed on a question brought up by a member of the audience. IlLewis was asked why he said only a Democrat could rep resent Texas. ■‘I never said that,” said Le wis. a Democrat from College Station. Lewis said that past Demo crats have had a good record in Austin. “The Democrats are strong in Austin,” he said. “I think the record speaks for itself.” Smith disagreed with Lewis. “Effectiveness can’t be be stowed on somebody by his pre decessors,” said Smith, a Re publican from Bryan. “That is a phony issue in this campaign that has been exposed.” The first debate question dealt with crime in Texas and changes in the Texas Depart ment of Corrections. Both candidates agreed that the prisons were too crowded, but disagreed on how to solve the problem. “Not everyone who is sick has to go to the hospital,” Lewis said. Therefore, not everyone who commits a felony needs to go to the TDC, he said. Smith said the main problem is a lack of a management train ing program at TDC. “Good management skills are greatly lacking in the Depart ment of Corrections,” Smith said. On second question, which dealt with the educational sys tem, Lewis and Smith agreed there should be an increase in teacher salaries. Teachers should be paid higher so they will stay in the classroom and not have to go into administration to support a family, Smith said. “We don’t need to move ex perienced, long-term teachers out of the classroom,” he said. Both candidates said they fa vor the passage of House Joint Resolution 19, which would keep the Permanent University Fund for Texas A&M and the University of Texas. “If you don’t do anything else, get out and work to get HJR 19 passed,” Lewis said to the audience to stress his sup port. Smith said he will support Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. Lewis said he hasn’t thought much about who he will vote for.

The Battalion re- :„sXVf ,uheim p |ication - Ralph A' Dept. ofCh el, ’ l! believed to have moved into sec ond place in the closing days ahead of Sen. John Glenn of Ohio. Glenn, who finished a dismal fifth in the Iowa caucuses, said he would not drop out of the race regardless of his finish in Iowa. “I’m in this for the long run,” he said. “We’re not down and out.” The other contenders — civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, for mer Sen. George McGovern, Sens. Alan Granston of Califor nia and Ernest Hollings of South Carolina and former Gov. Reubin Askew of Florida were all seen as trailing the oth ers. For some, New Hampshire could be the last of the political race. But the independent Yankee voters of New Hampshire have a habit of surprising the experts and hurting front-runners. And another unknown was the drive by a conservative group backed by the New Hampshire’s only statewide newspaper, the Manchester Union Leader, to get Demo crats and independents to write in President Reagan’s name on the Democratic ballot. The newspaper has written three consecutive front page editori als endorsing the idea. After a dawn appearance at a Manchester shoe factory gate, Mondale flew back to Washing ton for a fundraiser, leaving the final campaigning to an army of 500 volunteers and 200 staffers in the state. “I’m not taking anything for granted,” he said in Boston where he was endorsed by Mayor Raymond Flynn. “I think Tm going to do well. I think the reason I’ve done well is that Tm a person who has kept his promises.” In Portsmouth on the New Hampshire seacoast, Hart said he felt there was a “very strong movement” of voters toward his candidacy and said he was con fident of his prediction he would finish second. “I don’t mean to be brash,” Hart said. “There a fine line be tween confidence and brash ness. I hope I haven’t crossed it." Cranston said he would con tinue in the race even if he does poorly. “I intend to go on to Maine where I think we have a good chance of doing very, very well regardless of what happens in New Hampshire,” he said. Maine holds caucuses Sunday. Jackson campaigned in the northern part of the state on the morning after he admitted using an ethnic slur to describe Jews. He apologized for the re mark Sunday night and said he hoped his comments would open a dialogue between blacks and Jews. lUt LONCrSLE'eVEr T-brnrs a ^ re! ; give up 1 ^ la does t to n. proud ofM kid orano Vew Hanf to P^ a ' a ONE EXTRA DAY THIS YEAR TO ENJOY A FRESH HOT CHANELLO’S PIZZA DELIVERED TO YOU AT HOME OR WORK! 20 Thick Crust LEAP PIZZA 39 SUPREME or FAVORITE reg. 19 42 incl. tax TWO LOCATIONS: Southside — 696-0234 Northgate — 846-3768 PECIAL OFFER One Week Only Free — Offer Expires 3/4/84 Good on any Pizza SAVE s 4 42 now $ 15 00 Incl. tax Expires 3/15/84 only one coupon per pizza LEAP PIZZA 16” SUPREME or Thick Crust FAVORITE reg 13.11 NOW M0 5 ‘ incl. tax Expires 3/15/84 only one coupon per Pizza Extra Cheese Upon request LEAP PIZZA $1.00 OFF PIZZA OF YOUR CHOICE Exp. 3/15/84 Only One Coupon Per Pizza j| policy unity scr '*„ opn “ cgc s ' a 5*< rc those ot Jnistr^ rs ° t 1 feS! ofCo^y onccrflfflB 1C cdit° r ‘ FAST FREE DELIVERY NOW UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP!
