The 57-40 vote gave Clinton the first all-new program of his administration. The bill now goes to the White House for his signature. Clinton said the vote was "in the best sense of reinventing government." He praised the Senate action as "yet another opportunity for change for the American people." The program could be up and running by next June, said Eli Se gal, who heads Clinton's Office of National Service. The legislation goes into effect on Oct. 1. The bill was supported by 51 Democrats and six Republicans while four Democrats and 36 Re publicans opposed it. "On the one hand. President Clinton says national service will be the centerpiece of his ad ministration and on the other hand that he wants to reinvent government," Sen. Bob Dole, Kan., the Senate Republican leader, said in a floor speech. "Well, we think when we talk about reinventing government we're talking about less govern ment, less new programs." "The fact that our colleagues misstate facts time and time again ... may be persuasive to some people but it does not represent accuracy; veracity or truth," Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass, said. He said if the program did not work. Congress could scrap it. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R- Kan., argued that the bill is "fraught with ... overlapping pro grams, unnecessary legislative re quirements and cumbersome bu reaucratic structures." She called it ironic that the Senate was considering the legis lation a day after Clinton present ed his "reinventing government" plan to streamline the federal bu reaucracy and cut costs by $108 billion over five years. "We have lost a tremendous opportunity ... to lead the way in reinventing government," she said. "We chose to take the old tried and true way." Sen. Harris Wofford, D-Pa., countered that the National Ser vice program was an "innova tive public-private partnership" that is "part of a process of rein venting government, not by more government but by ignit ing citizen action and citizen re sponsibility." Under terms of the compro mise, students who complete two years of community service work can earn $4,725 a year to apply to ward college tuition. Clinton ini tially proposed $5,000 a year. Participants also would re ceive living allowances of at least $7,400 a year and health-care and child day-care benefits. The plan allows 20,000 partici pants in the first year, 33,000 in the second year and 47,000 in the third year, assuming an average annual cost per participant of $15,000. Spending would be lim ited to $300 million in the first year of the program, $500 million in the second year and $700 mil lion in the third year.

Shelton Continued from Page 3 such song, "Still Got a Couple of Good Years Left" shows a man's special feeling towards a favorite car, the family house and his wife. The beautifully crafted "Talking to God" is one to listen to over and over again. Anyone who loves to hunt, fish, camp and spend time in the great outdoors will relate to this touching message of seeing God in nature. Steel guitars and fiddles give "Heartache Big As Texas" the old Texas swing sound made famous by Bob Wills and the Texas Play boys. The only disappointing song found on "Bridges' 7 is the repetitious be-bop song, "Linda Lu." The song sounds a bit annoying and doesn't fit into the album's pace. A past winner of the Music City New Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the year, Shelton's earlier successes include the singles "Statue of a Fool," "Between the Lines," "Rocking Year" and "Back- roads." Unfortunately, "Bridges" is not as strong as some of Shelton's earlier work. However, the songs on this album such as "A Bridge 1 Didn't Burn," "Still Got a Couple of Good Years Left" and "Talking to God" make this album well worth the pur chase price and a definite purenase for Shelton fans.
