Retail: 845-2696 The Battalion Classified: 845-0569 NEW YORK — The reputation of Christopher Columbus remains relatively untarnished 500 years after his arrival in the New World, an Associated Press poll shows: About two in three Americans regard him as a hero. The anniversary of the Italian navigator's first voyage across the Atlantic has brought renewed scrutiny of the explorer's effect on the natives of the land he mistook . for "the Indies." Columbus robbed, brutalized and enslaved Indians and started centuries of destruction of their cultures. But only 15 percent in the poll said they agreed with those who call Columbus a villain. Sixty-four percent said he is a hero. Nine percent said he is both. A majority, 56 percent, said they would like to see Columbus Day observed as a celebration, while 32 percent wanted it to be a solemn day to reflect on the past. The rest were not sure or wanted it observed both ways. The poll was taken Sept. 30 to Oct. 4 among a random sample of 1,001 adults by ICR Survey Research Group of Media, Pa., part of AUS Consultants. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3 percentage points. History has recorded that Columbus was devoted to — perhaps obsessed with — the idea of sailing west to reach "the East." He spent more than seven years preparing and getting the backing of the Spanish monarchs for his 1492 voyage. Those polled were more likely to see Columbus as motivate! a quest for knowledge thai greed. Six in 10 cited his curie about the world as a motivj;*. Half agreed that he * motivated by a sense adventure. Forty-four pern tfonda] cited a search for gold and pte Just 20 percent said a desire fame was one of the motivatrai Men were slightly moreli than women to mention fame; profits. Those who considei Columbus a villain mostoj saw him as motivated bjj search for gold. Eighteen percent ofmea only 12 percent of won considered Columbus a vill While a majority of those vilify Columbus wanted holiday to be solemn, a thu them still wanted ittoh; celebration. Report attacks administration FDA plan THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Bush administration's plan to change how the Food and Drug Administra tion approves new drugs would undermine the agency's ability to make sure medicines are safe, a House committee report says. The report, approved by the House Government Operations Committee, is a 27-page attack on Vice President Dan Quayle's Council on Competitiveness and its call for altering the FDA's operations. "The Quayle Council's recommendations strongly resemble the 'wish list' it received at a secret meeting with the drug industry last year," the report says. "The Quayle Council's initiatives may well slow down drug approvals, while exposing consumers unnecessarily to dangerous drugs." A confidential copy of the report, approved 24-14 by the committee, was obtained by The Associated Press. The committee recommends that the FDA junk Quayle the ideas of the Quayle comdj Quayle spokesman Jeff Nesl rejected the committee'strifi c * sm - ■ B Lg p The committee's compliis i ^ c came from an investigationtii p er this year by its humann | sources subcommittee,wkisf chairman, the late Rep.l Weiss, D-N.Y., said Quaylei’J the White House hadtwisig arms at the FDA to genii changes adopted. The complaints center on proposals to havel FDA have private contractors review new drug a: plications and have the companies submit applia tions for clinical trials to special boards, usuallyi universities or hospitals, instead of the FDA. The report also criticizes pfans for acce/erafa/f proval of new drugs, saying it should be limitedt treatments for serious or life-threatening conditio D ar Debate Continued from Page 1 supporters of each man. Bush began the debate by say ing that he felt the most important issue separating the candidates was experience. But Perot was quick to ridicule the notion, ob serving tartly that he had no expe rience in "running up a $4 trillion debt" or in overseeing "a gridlock government" or presiding over a crumbling education system. Perot said: "If it's time for ac tion, I've got the kind of experi ence that counts." Then, speaking up for Clinton, he said that it was important to measure when an in cident occurs. "As a young man, time passes.” He said mistakes as a senior government official were far more serious. Bush, criticized throughout his campaign for paying too little at tention to domestic affairs, promised to name Baker as his domestic coordinator. It had been thought that Baker was interested in returning to his former post as secretary of state. On taxes, a subject of conflict ing television commercials, Clin ton said his economic proposals would shield all households with income of less than $200,000 from tax increases and "restore some fairness to the tax code." "We've got to have no more trickle down," he said. Bush, who has charged that Clinton's plan would raise taxes on the middle class, said, "You end up socking it to the working man." Over and over, he charac terized Clinton economics as a tax-and-spend program. Perot said his own economic plan included a period for "shared sacrifice," and defended his proposal to raise the gasoline tax by 50 cents a gallon. "I know it's not popular ... but the people who will be helped by it the most will be the working people who will get jobs created by this tax." He said a Perot victo- U1 ry would be unique andwi him the momentum and to enact his economic remefc Clinton and Perot M — pledged to get cracking ately after the election witkp posals for introduction inratii ately after the January inauguiil The president said he was a Li Dicke Or gies ; est pi Rea ciatec e president sai . . ious to work with a "brandnei team Congress" next year, thought tirn ^ s is no guarantee that he wouldtf more successful with the lineup than with the old. Bush insisted that thenafa problems are not so seme; Clinton portends, saying," country's not coming apart al seams," at ted that the United Sli i q had recovered fromworstpir lems than the current ones. But Clinton bore in, and.% too. Clinton said that Ametii wages have declined in theiasi years of Republican rule in White House. Perot said into tional competitors are doingl* ter than the United States, business and governmentnd' ing hand in hand. Ship Continued from Page 1 Hamburger Supper on Oct. 19, Burns said. Students are going to recreate both the Spanish court and the port where the ship was docked, she said. The students are going to research what life was like at that time and create scenery based on that. The students' ship has a frame made of wood and chicken wire covered with brown sheets. Burns said. The back will be a raised quarterdeck, and the decking will be the floor of the ship. They plan to use plastic PVC pipe for the masts. The classes are building the ship in such a way as to show what it was like to spend six weeks on a late 15th Century ship. In addition to working on this project, the students are being taught about Columbus from a different active, oner perspe ing the fact that not all oil celebrate Columbus as a hero, "Not everyone celebri Columbus Day, and we wants give students the informations make that decision (of whete 1 not to celebrate the holiday),"® Burns. The sixth grade teachers arei excited about this project andlm| py they had the chance. "This is an opportunity show how education shot work," Burns said. Continued from Page 2 Whatever the final tally, scores of College Republicans have been handing out registration forms since the summer: at football games, grocery stores, the student union, even door-to-door. "If you look through the whole community, we were the major ones putting out the effort" to reg ister voters, Meuret said. "Here at Texas A&M, the con servatives are activists, which is different than most universities," he said. "They get involved in the political process. That's what makes this campus different." Democrats also recognize the effect GOP student voters could have on down-ballot races. Some local Democratic candi dates already have made a pitch to the Republican club, explaining their stance and trying to convince the Bush-Quayle supporters not to vote a straight ticket. "They're concerned. If we're able to register that many student voters, that totally changes the outcome of any election in this county," Meuret said. Students made the difference in electing the local sheriff during his first campaign, a narrow win in 1984, Brazos County GOP chairman Lewis said. And state Rep. Steve Ogden, a Republican from Bryan, said Aggies took him to the Capitol for his first term in 1990, too. "I think the students at Texas A&M are a major force in any po litical race in Brazos County, peri od. Their support of my candida cy had a lot to do with the margin with which I won," said Ogden, who is unopposed this fall. "They loved Ronald Reagan, and they love (Sen.) Phil Gramm, and they generally respond very positively to the standard Repub lican arguments, particularly when you use the Republican phi losophy to appeal to what they want, which is opportunity. And if you talk about the Republican philosophy that appeals to less government, more economic op portunity to pursue their dreams, you'-re hitting them right in their heart," Ogden said. The students also provide a ma jor source of campaign volunteers, Ogden said. "The political grunt work in this county is done more and more by those students, and they do a wonderful job," he said. "They are an incredible re source of worker bees. And I can tell you, as a candidate in this county, if the students are for you, your opponent's in big trouble." State Sen. Jim Turner, a Crock ett Democrat whose district in cludes College Station, said he be- ex lieves more and more turn to the left this year - cally, for the same reason Oj® cites: economics. , "In the past, I think theA^' campus has certainly had a rf(* tation for stn ight-ticket voting 1 the Republican side, and that 1 very frightening for any do* 1 ballot Democrat," he said. "If you're in a situation wh® y^lLA' you're down-ballot, and know there's going to beaKj^ group of voters who primarily* 1 ^ interested in the national race# they don't care too much t ^ e whdt's going on below that,f| ahoma can lose a lot of votes, Iup L a r said.
