followed by bonfire benefit bash
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Mas
sachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis lec
tured Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore to
“get your facts straight,” but six
Democratic presidential hopefuls
generally were in harmony Sunday
in supporting sweeping arms control
agreements and an end to military
aid to Nicaraguan rebels.
The sharp exchange between
Gore and Dukakis came during a
two-hour debate before an arms
control group that featured mainly
sharp attacks on President Reagan
and gentle jabs among the Demo
crats who said they were struggling
“for the direction of the Democratic
Party.”
Gore and Dukakis began their
feud at a similar debate last month.
Gore was demanding an increased
amount of specifics about Dukakis’
economic policies. On Sunday, Gore
accused Dukakis of advocating the
withdrawal of American troops from
South Korea.
Dukakis retaliated by claiming
that he never said he wanted the
troops withdrawn.
Gore later branded any proposal
to withdraw forces from Korea as
“wildly unrealistic” and Dukakis con
tinued to insist after the debate he
never suggested such a thing, in
sisting he only wanted to push for
the
more Democratic freedoms
country.
The exchange came as the Demo
crats called for arms control
agreements far beyond one ex
pected to be signed this fall and all
six opposed continued military aid
to the Nicaraguan rebels. Only Gore
was willing to back any proposed
funding for the Contra, supporting
unspecified “humanitarian” assis
tance.
“It’s not the technology that’s the
problem, it’s the willpower.”
Dukakis said, “I want this nation
to be tough and strong and involved.
But I want this nation to be tough
and strong and involved for the
right reasons.
“There are important signs the
world is coming to its collective
senses. We’re beginning to under
stand we can’t operate like a lone
some cowboy anymore.”
“I want this nation to be tough and strong and in
volved. But I want this nation to be tough and strong
and involved for the right reasons. ”
— Michael Dukakis, Massachusetts governor
Jesse Jackson expressed luke
warm support for the agreement be
tween the U.S. and the Soviet Union
to eliminate intermediate-range nu
clear weapons in Europe, calling it “a
short step for mankind and a giant
step for Ronald Reagan.”
Accusing the administration of
operating within “an atmosphere of
suspicion and paranoia,” former
Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt said, “I
would go beyond the agenda of deep
missile cuts.
While all six had sharp criticism
for the Reagan administration. Gore
and Missouri Rep. Richard Ge
phardt worried that Democrats have
suffered in past elections from being
seen as opposed to strong defenses.
“We have got to maintain deter
rence,” Gore said. “Our party must
be strong on national defense.”
Gephardt suggested that Demo
crats use a version of Reagan’s 1980
campaign question when he asked
voters if they were better off tha
four years before.
“Are we safer than vve were2tri
lion dollars ago?” Gephardt asket
“1 think it’s time to indict this admit
istration.”
Illinois Sen. Paul Simon said,1
ought to be sending down physidat
and teachers and peace corps worl
ers.”
While all the Democrats suppon
bilateral ban on underground m
clear tests, Gephardt also has sal
the L’.S. and Soviet Union shoil
seek to negotiate a ban on a
tests of missiles.
Gore complained that someDem
ocrats were using the proposal as
“litmus test,” which tended to pusi
all the candidates to the left
damage their hopes for beim
elected.
' 1 his contest is partly a struggli
for the future of the DemocraiK
Party,” Gore argued. “Foreign polio
is too important fora litmus test.”
Sunday’s debate was before a:
arms control group called STAR
PAG, or Stop the Arms Race Politic
Action Committee.
Colorado Rep. Patricia Schroedt:
is scheduled to announce her inlet
dons for the race today. She was in
s ited to Sunday’s debate andiniti
accepted, but withdrew last week.

a
Islamic group threatens retaliation
if 7 convicts are executed in Tunisia
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — A pro-lraman
Shiite Moslem faction holding foreign hostages
in Lebanon on Sunday threatened to kill Tuni
sian government leaders if seven fundamentalist
convicts are executed in that North African Arab

nation.
The threat came in a typewritten Arabic
statement issued by Islamic Jihad, or Islamic
Holy War, and delivered to a Western news
agency in Beirut along with a photograph of
American hostage Terry A. Anderson.
The black-and-white photo showed Anderson
in a dark striped shirt looking straight at the cam
era. The picture was similar to five other photos
of Anderson released in November and Decem
ber of 1986 and January and February 1987.
Anderson, 39, chief Middle East correspon
dent for the Associated Press, is the longest-held
hostage among the 23 foreigners missing and be
lieved kidnapped in Lebanon. He was abducted
March 16, 1985.
Islamic Jihad, which claimed responsibility for
Anderson’s abduction, also holds another Ameri
can and at least three Frenchmen. The group's
statement made no threats against the hostag< s.
Apparently, the release of Anderson’s picture
was to authenticate the statement.
The Islamic Jihad’s statement said, “Wecob
sider this step as a declaration of war on Moslem
not only in Tunisia but throughout the world
“Unless the Tunisian regime reverses its iib
just sentences and releases all the imprisoiiH
strugglers, it will bear the responsibility fortki
step which will only end with the uprootingaik
elimination of the reinme.
The statement said “The price for the execu
tion of our struggling brothers will be big heads
of the leaders of the Tunisian oppressive re
gime.”
“Either fit
which we wil
place.”

Tunisia’s state security court on Saturday
passed death sentences on seven Shiite Moslem
fundamentalists accused of trying to overthrow
the Tunisian government with Iranian help. But
Two defendents were sentenced to lifeimpris
onment. One is Rachid Ghannounchi, head
the Islamic Tendency Movement, a group tk
the Tunisian government said has links wii
Iran’s fundamentalist Shiite regime.

The latest intramural sport to hit the streets is Ultimate Frisbee. For the first time an Ultimate
Frisbee Tournament is being held as an intramural event. Entries close for this event on Tues
day, September 29. Entry fee is $10.00 per team.
This unique sport is different from most other team sports in that the sport is self-officiated
According to the Ultimate Players Association Rules:
It is assumed that no Ultimate player will intentionally violate the rules; thus there are noharsii
penalties for inadvertant infractions, but rattier a method for resuming play in a manner which
simulates what would most likely have occurred had there been no infraction.
The rules are very simple in this non-contact sport. Each team consists of seven players.
The disc may only be moved by passing and the thrower is not allowed to take any steps. Any
time a pass is intercepted, incomplete, is knocked down or contacts an out-of-bounds area, a
turnover occurs resulting in an immediate change of possession. The object of the game is to
pass the disc to a teammate in your opponent's goal area while defending your own goal.
Everyone is encouraged to enter this tournament and try this fun, new sport. For more infor
mation about this tournament, call Paula Opal at 845-7826.
