CTWP “Best Prices In Town!" Super Fall Special XTTURBO Now! George Bush accused a hard-charging Michael Du kakis on Tuesday of basing his campaign comeback bid on an appeal to division, fear and envy. The Democratic presidential candidate said, "We’re just working hard and we’re going to win.’’ Bush, possessor of a solid lead in the polls, said in Ohio that Dukakis was an advocate for economic poli cies far outside the mainstream and resembling Euro pean socialism more than American free enterprise. Dukakis was campaigning on the ground in Califor nia and on television through a five-minute paid net work commercial and a 90-minute appearance on ABC’s “Nightline.” The most recent nationwide public opinion polls point to a big Republican lead with the election two weeks distant, and Dukakis awoke to headlines in the Los Angeles Times that he trails by 11 points in Cali fornia, the nation’s largest state. But aides to Dukakis were busy spreading the word that his recent Populist-style rhetoric and allegations of Republican campaign lies were scoring points with the voters. “Around the world, governments are abandoning socialism, moving away from socialistic, high control experience . . . and embracing the American model of low taxation, entrepreneurship and individual intitative.” — George Bush "far outside the mainstream of economic tW he’s broken with the American trii entrepreneurship and free enterprise."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Education Secretary Lauro Cavazos said Tuesday he sees his brief, four-month tenure as a platform to speak out on the need for get ting dropouts back in school and educat ing the illiterate, the handicapped and the dyslexic. “The basic question is how do you po sition America so it can deal with the is sue and how you bring it about — we must educate every person to their fullest potential,” Cavazos told the Hispanic News Media Association of Washington. Cavazos says he’s been asked why he would leave his job as a university presi dent to take on the complexities and challenges of education secretary when it’s for just a few months. Sworn in Sept. 20, Cavazos is the first Hispanic member of a president’s Cab inet and serves until Jan. 20, unless reno minated by the next president. “I see it as an opportunity, a platform so to speak, as you folks in Washington call it — a window of opportunity — to say something, to give some leadership to the things I’ve been saying all along as a university president,” Cavazos, who is on leave from Texas Tech University, said. In his first speech after taking over as president of the Lubbock university in 1980, Cavazos said he used the occasion to talk about the dropout rate, especially among Hispanics. In Texas, he said, 45 percent of His panic students drop out before finishing high school, while the rate for blacks is 32 percent and for Anglos, 30. “I learned long ago that people don’t necessarily listen to a university presi dent, and I’m not sure they listen to sec retaries of education, but we’re going to speak up,” he said. Principal issues, he said, include help ing the highly motivated student excel and move ahead; getting the dropouts back in school and into the mainstream of society; teaching the illiterate how to read; educating the handicapped to their fullest level of independence; and help ing the dyslexic overcome their learning disability. “That is the agenda of America: That you educate everyone to their fullest po tential,” he said. “If one person drops out, we’re all the poorer for that reason,” he said. He said he hopes to position the De partment of Education to “start thinking about these issues ... to start thinking about the future — where do you want this place to go, so regardless of who is secretary of education, the agenda is pre tty well laid out.” Choir sells pizza for Carnegie trip SILSBEE (AP) — The Silsbee High School choir is busy planning pizza sales, bake sales, garage sales and other kinds of fundraisers to get $40,000 needed in order to perform in New York’s historic Carnegie Hall. A New York City production com pany selected the 40-member school choir to sing in the famed 2,000-seat mu sic hall as part of the Big Apple High School Chorus Festival March 30 to April 3. Baylor University music professor Hugh Sanders, who became aware of the Silsbee choir during a workshop this past summer, recommended the choir to the New York production company selecting students to take part in the concert. But the choir first must raise the money to cover the expenses for the four-day trip. Sanders will conduct the Silsbee stu dents as they perform with a 275-mem ber choir made up of students from high schools all over the country. “It’s hard to comprehend that we’re going,” 14-year-old freshman Jill Nor wood said. “You think things like this don’t happen to Silsbee.” The school’s chorus room looks more like a warehouse these days as choir tea cher Susan Kilcrease and choir students sort through shipments of frozen pizzas they plan to sell to help pay for the trip. The students said the work is worth the chance to sing at Carnegie and see New York. The choir received a big boost this month when Temple-Inland Foundation in Diboll donated $6,000 for the trip. “Other people have made small con tributions,” Kilcrease said. “We hope to have a drawing for a pickup truck by the first of March.’’ Kilcrease said students already have raised $4,000 through various sales.
