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

cited a search for gold and pte
Just 20 percent said a desire

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

The complaints center on proposals to havel

universities or hospitals, instead of the FDA.

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-

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.

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
