publican candidate would have
won," Kormylo said. But this
probably would not occur because
the Libertarian Party draws equal
ly from Republicans and Democ
rats.
Ross Perot, on the other hand, is
a special case because he doesn't
represent a party and has virtually
unlimited funds.
"His is a person-based rather
than a policy-based candidacy,"

with two years of service in the

Clinton's education plan, as
printed in The New Democrat, a
political magazine written by the
Democratic Leadership Council,
includes:
• Preparing children for school
by helping disadvantaged parents
build a learning ethic at home and
fully funding programs like Head
Start and the Women, Infants and
Children (WIC) program that save
taxpayers several dollars for every
one spent.
• Overhauling America's pub
lic schools with tough standards

Wiggins characterized the
change in media objectives when
he said "Where would Ross Perot
be without Larry King?"
Tomlinson agreed with Wig
gins in wanting the candidates to
appear on "traditional" news
shows, including "Meet the Press"
and "The McNeil-Lehrer Report,"
the latter of which all three pan
elists believed to provide the
best coverage of the presidential
race.
Tomlinson said candidates pre

media, for as Tomlinson said, "lo-

Edwards said.
Edwards said Perot probably
will not receive a higher percent
age of the vote than George Wal
lace did in 1968, which was 13.5
percent.
Jim Raatz, Bryan-College Sta
tion coordinator of the Perot cam
paign, said he believes the Ameri
can people are so angry about the
national debt, Perot will win.
"People are so mad, the polls
won't amount to a hill of beans,"
said Raatz.
As for media influence on third
parties, Edwards does not believe
the media have a negative influ
ence on third parties.
Edwards compares the situation
to the presidential primaries. In a
six man presidential primary, the
candidates who are doing poorly
are not going to get as much cov
erage as the front runner, said Ed
wards.
If there is a third party candi
date who looks like he is doing
well, he will get media coverage,
and Kormylo said the fact that the
media gives little coverage to Lib
ertarian candidates hurts their
party.
Most Americans agree with us
on the issues, but we don't have
the name recognition to get the
votes, Kormylo said.
"They (the media) have been a
great boon to Ross Perot because
they have given him a tremen
dous amount of coverage," said
Edwards. "Perot has gotten much
more coverage than his support
would lead you to expect."
Raatz said the media has a neg
ative opinion of Perot.
"The media hates him (Perot)
because they don't own him," said
Raatz. "Nobody owns Ross Per
ot."

Initiative" to help ensure a posi

• Giving dropouts a second
chance by giving them a chance to
develop skills and learn self-disci
pline through a Youth Opportuni
ty Corps.
• Developing a national ap
prenticeship program that brings
business, labor and educators to
gether to offer non college-bound
students valuable training.
• Giving every American the
right to borrow for college by es
tablishing a National Service Trust
Fund, maintaining Pell Grants and
scrapping the current student loan
program. Students will repay
their loans either as a small per
centage of their income after grad
uation or by going home to do
community service as teachers,
counselors or police officers.
Patrick Gendron, president of
Aggie Democrats, said he just
hasn't seen any action from the
"education president."
"Sure, short term, Clinton's
plan will cost money," Gendron
said, "but the long-term benefits
outweigh the costs. We absolutely
have to have a more skilled work
force to compete in a global econ
omy.
"Plus, it's (the loans) going to
be paid back. Clinton will have to
start the system, but then it'll be
self-perpetuating."
Gendron said also that Clin
ton's National Service Trust Plan
would allow students with un
tapped potential to attend college.
Consequently, more students
would earn degrees, and they
could then be hired to implement
Clinton's plan to improve the
American infrastructure.
"Just imagine all of the Aggie
engineers that could be employed.
And some of them would proba
bly be students that wouldn't
have bad the opportunity to at
tend college without the National
Service Trust Plan," Gendron said.
"Many of Bush's ideas come
from Education Secretary Lamar
Alexander, a former Tennessee
overnor. Alexander and Clinton
oth chaired the National Gover
nor's Association's five-year edu
cation-reform effort and worked
together to establish national
goals."
cal reporters tend to be consider
ably younger, consequently less
experienced, less knowledgeable.
more impressionable, and more
eager to 'touch the cloth.'"
Tomlinson explained "touching
the cloth" as the need for journal
ists to be a part of the media circle
involving the candidates.
As part of that desire to be in
contact with the candidates,
younger journalists tend to give
more favorable press to the candi
date they interviewed.
The debaters did agree on a
number of topics, including the
overall fairness in media coverage
about the three major candidates
and the emphasis on issues voters
care about this year, such as the
economy, the federal deficit, and
creating new jobs.
The panelists did concede,
though, that "big foot" journalists,
media members from major news
organizations, because of their ex
perience and other factors, usually
put their beliefs more in their
writing than newer members of
the media, who usually worry
more about not offending oth
ers.
NABJ treasurer Sharon Mays
said the debate helped inform the
audience as to how to interpret
the messages being received from
the various media outlets, and
hopes that all young voters will
try to be informed so their vote
will be based on issues, noton
what polls or friends say.

Perot be without
