UT students rally to hear Jackson AUSTIN (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson told a University of Texas rally Monday to “keep hope alive’’ for a Democratic presidential victory and de nounced the Republican ticket of George Bush and Dan Quayle. “We are going to take off the Bush- Quayle mask,” Jackson said. “We will not have Halloween November the eighth. We will not get the trick, while they get the treat,” he said to a spirited crowd of about 3,000 people at the UT campus. He urged the crowd, comprised of mostly students, to vote for Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis. “We can win Texas. We can win America,” he said. Jackson’s speech dovetailed with a move by Dukakis on Sunday to defend liberal traditions. Jackson said to the crowd that certain conservative values should be cherished, but that conservative politicians have stood in the way of progress in civil rights. He said, “And if conservatives had had their way, the sign on the Statue of Liberty would have said, ‘No room in the inn. You don’t have any property. You don’t speak English. You can’t come.’ But the liberal tradition said, ‘Give me your poor, your huddled masses.’” He said liberals have fought for Medi care, Social Security and housing for the poor. Jackson added that Bush runs a campaign implying that civil liberties are subversive. “We must stand for civil lib erties,” he said. Jackson said Bush was raising false is sues, such as the Pledge of Allegiance, while Dukakis addressed issues impor tant to the country. watch his lips; I say as these people march, using their right to vote, watch their hips,” Jackson said after reaching the courthouse. Dukakis, campaigning in Calfomia on Sunday, said he is a liberal in the tradi tion of former presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy. Supporters of Bush have used the image of the Massachusetts governor as a liberal to attract conservative and mod erate voters. “When he properly defines liberalism and liberation as expanding the democ racy to make room for the common peo ple, it is the highest and best tradition of Roosevelt and John Kennedy and (farm worker leader Cesar) Chavez and Martin Luther King and the Statue of Liberty,” Jackson said. In other developments Monday: — Republican Railroad Commis sioner Kent Hance announced that he had been endorsed by four former com mission chairmen, all Democrats. The first Republican to serve on the commis sion that regulates oil and gas and trans portation, Hance is seeking election to complete the term to which Gov. Bill Clements appointed him in 1987. Poll: Mayor’s tax support hurt career “The problem is not at all about salut ing the flag,” Jackson said. “The prob lem is that most Americans in the textile industry who used to grow the cotton or weave it, who used to make those flags now do not have their jobs. They have the Cotton Bowl once a year. They don’t have the textile industry the rest of the year. ’ ’ He blasted the current Reagan-Bush administration for economic problems and foreign policy disasters. Of the na tional debt and trade deficit, he said, “That’s not conservatism. That’s ridicu lous. “We’re becoming overdependent again on foreign oil, foreign capital and foreign energy with oilwells capped in Texas, Oklahoma and Lousiana,” he said. “Let’s uncap these wells. Let’s put America back to work”. HOUSTON (AP) — A controversial tax increase passed in September appar ently has caused some political damage for four-term Mayor Kathy Whitmire, a newspaper poll shows. In a survey taken Oct. 22-25, the mayor received a 48 percent favorable rating, while 41 percent viewed her unfa vorably, the Houston Chronicle reported Monday. Eleven percent said they were unsure. / I BRING TUS COUPON *3.99 \ l BIG ftEAJ. DEAL Get a 1/3 lb. Hamburger with French fries, large soft drink and a Super Sundae with your choice of toooinas.

SWEhsen^ In Edinburg earlier Monday, Jackson, wearing a red bandanna on his arm in support of the United Farm Workers union, led a march of about 200 students and farm workers from Pan American University about one-half mile to the Hi dalgo County Courthouse. The goal was to bring out early absentee voters for Du- kakis-Bentsen. Marchers chanted, “Keep hope alive. Vote.” “George Bush, as he wants to cut off housing and national health care, says A poll conducted for the newspaper in May showed that Whitmire — who is ex pected to seek a fifth term next year — was viewed favorably by 56 percent and unfavorably by 41 percent, with 3 per cent unsure. “There’s a lot of vulnerability there,” said University of Houston political sci entist Richard Murray, who directed the Oct. 22-25 survey of 391 Houston vot ers. “The tax increase has driven her image down, but the bad news has been in the off-season,” he said, referring to the year-long wait before her next re- election bid. “The downside of that ought to be gone by then. ’ ’ When asked if they wanted to see Whitmire re-elected or would prefer to see someone else elected mayor next year, 25 percent said they wanted her re elected, 56 percent preferred someone else, and 19 percent were unsure. The question traditionally brings a negative response for longtime incum bents, Murray said. But he added that the negative response in Whitmire’s case is relatively high. bitYAN 8Z3-012 6 .
