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."

One aide said the campaign’s own polls showed the
national gap narrowing, and spokesman Dayton Dun
can added, “Our polling shows by an overwhelming
margin people are blaming Bush for this negative cam

“We will move forward not by succumbing to the
base temptations of division, fear and envy, but by fol
lowing, as Abraham Lincoln said, those better angels
of our nature,” he told a breakfast in Columbus.

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.
