Cronkite: Changes
need to be made
in next campaign
AUSTIN (AP) — Veteran journalist
Walter Cronkite said Wednesday that
this year’s presidential campaign is one
of the worst he’s seen and recommended
changes for the future, including more
debates and limits on television ads.
“I don’t recall anything quite like this
year,” Cronkite told a news conference
at the University of Texas at Austin,
where he has been teaching a three-day
seminar. ‘‘It’s been, I think, a most un
fortunate year for the American people,
for our democracy. ’ ’
Issues — such as the deficit, educa
tion, foreign policy and defense — have
not been adequately debated and dis
cussed by Democratic presidential candi
date Michael Dukakis or Republican
George Bush, Cronkite said.
“It means that the winning candidate
will go into office next January without a
administration takes office. He said it is
proposed as a “crash program right on
the heels of the disappointment of the
American people expressed every
where.”
“The people generally across the en
tire spectrum of political belief are un
happy with the way this campaign has
gone,’’ he said.
For television and radio commercials,
Cronkite suggested a requirement that
they be at least two minutes long and that
the candidate appear.
“If you did that, they’d have to say
something,’’ he said. “You couldn't
package them like soap. If they want to
deal in a kind of below-the-belt, dirty
campaign, they’re going to have their
face hanging out there saying it ... it
would purify the process considerably.”
The following incidents were re
ported to the University Police De
partment from Oct. 10 through Tues
day:
FELONY THEFT:
• A student reported that someone
stole his 1988 Pontiac Firebird,
which was parked on campus.
• An automatic balance was sto
len from the Northside Parking Ga
rage construction site.
MISDEMEANOR THEFT:
• Five bicycles and three back
packs were reported stolen from va
rious locations around campus. One
bicycle reported stolen earlier in the
semester was found.
• A student reported that someone
stole her radio/cassette player from
the Animal Industries building.
• A student reported that someone
stole a check and two bottles of pre
scription medicine from her purse in
the System Administration Building.
• A student reported that he saw
two people take two sections of scaf
folding from the Sterling C. Evans
Library construction site.
ATTEMPTED BURGLARY:
• A student reported that soimuj
had forcibly entered his car. He a
he could find nothing missing.
FALSE ALARM:
• Someone pulled the firealanr-
Ramp E of Walton Hall ontwoc*

HARASSMENT:
• A student reported that she b:|

calls for about a month.

Cronkite suggested that interested
groups — such as those representing vot

— work together to begin a massive pub

deny it.
The call should be for at least six de
bates of two to three hours each, addres

dates should be allowed to take sides and
to have advisers present, he said.

The proposal to extend the t
must be approved by the City (
but five council members a
HL&P has had plenty of time tor
its problems with the deal, the
American-Statesman reported 1
dav.
AUSTIN (AP) — Saying local
property taxpayers are paying
enough, a legislator promised
Wednesday to propose a constitu
tional amendment requiring the state
to provide the money when it forces
local governments to undertake new
programs.
State Rep. Dan Morales, D-San
Antonio, vice chairman of the tax
writing House Ways and Means
Committee said, “Texas property tax
rates are now arguably among the
highest in the nation.”
Morales said he thinks most law
makers would agree property tax
rates around the state have grown too
high as the state government has bat
tled budget problems in recent years.
Morales said that during its 1.5
years of study, the Select Committee
on Tax Equity has heard repeatedly
that local property taxpayers are be-
bearing an “unresonably large por
tion” of the overall tax burden.
In recent months, the lawmaker
said, there has been an “unpreceden
ted” increase in property tax rates at
the local level.
“Municipalities, counties, school
districts and other local taxing juris
dictions have been forced to seek ad
ditional revenue due, in significant
part, to state-imposed mandates,” he
said.
Morales said 14 other states cur
rently have laws which require the
state to pay for programs it requires
of local governments.
At the present time, a number of
counties arc protesting that problems
with overcrowded state prisons have
forced them to house state inmates in
their county jails — but the state pays
nothing toward those costs.
Morales said his proposed amend
ment might address such a problem,
but he also said he’s not yet certain
what form that amendment would
take when introduced in the 1989
Legislature.
However, he predicted such a plan
would be approved by both lawmak
ers and voters.

Pick your company very carefully.
Or you might not like the break-in period
Companies have personalities. Just
like people.
Some are trendy, some are traditional.
Some find strength in established patterns, while
others like to mix it up with the new and different.
But each company expects its employees
tq fit in with its own particular style and philos- /
ophy. Some a lot more than others. /
At Chevron, we feel every employee f
represents a unique combination of talents
and experience. We individualize assign
ments as much as possible to take „ f
advantage of those strengths. We like creative, ambitious,
enthusiastic people. They work better. And they help us
work better.
Think about this before you choose. Do you want
the chance to make a real impact on your
»company's future? Or vice versa.
