Vets support Clinton
DearEditor
This is a country in very deep
trouble. Wfyeed healing and what
we are getting from George Bush
and Dan Quayle is a tearing at old
wounds.       I.
The core of the present nega¬
tive Bush campaign, the draft
question, is the Willie Horton is¬
sue of 1992. It has just as little
relationship to real issues. It ob¬
scures critical problems. It revives
old pain and trauma and divides
tbe country. .As Tama Adelman,
from Larkspur, CA put it for her¬
self and other Vietnam nurses,
"diey have noright to use our tears
or tbe blood on our hands," in a
political attack.
With respect tot rust, we can
only suggest that sending Dan
Quayle out to be the national
spokesman for patriotism, honor,
service and integrity,m .and to be
the moral judge of Bill Clinton, is
an act of extraordinary hypocrisy.
With the help of influential con¬
nections, Quayle, who stated that
he .strongly supported die war,
found a soft and very safe haven
from Vietnam, an action in which
he now takes public pride. Clinton
passionately opposed the war. As
veterans, we believe that the dis¬
tinction is crucial and that it has
been largely overlooked by the
media.
Our deepest concern is with the
real problems of joblessness, of
ihe grow i ng number of children in
poverty, of foreclosures and home-
lessness, of deteriorating cities and
growing social and economic bar¬
riers. We believe that this nation
desperately needs w hat Clin ton has
put at the center of his program;
the rebuilding of our country and
economy. We are concerned about
continuing polarization of this
country into warring groups as

Bear's wo«to m+nrXSmmTm
frustration breeds conflict and as
this administration uses, even
fosters conflict to maintain power.
A president who hasn't even been
aware that economic difficulties
exist is hardly fit to solve them.
We respect-Bill Clinton's
understanding and his intelligence.
More importantly, we .sense in him
a fundamental underlying human¬
ity and feeling for people. The
single greatest strength we see him
bringing to this nation is a deep
desire and an impressive capacity
to draw people together and bind
them in common effort for real
change. Wnat you cannot miss if
you watch him closely, is that he
cares for people, he listens to
people, be is open to people in
ways that are unique. He is a leader
who wants to heal rather than cre¬
ate wounds; to build community
where now we have chaos. That
kind of spirit and sense of commu¬
nity are absolutely essential if we
are ever to be mobilized to solve
our critical national problems.

to his superior, who will supposably
give him a written warning. I just
don't get it, students pay him then he
threatensus andhedoesn't get fired. If
this is the case, then I had it wrong
when I worked at Kinkos. For what I
should have done was threaten my
boss. Then, I, like Scott, would still
have my job.
The other incident that upset-me
was when an administrator of CSUF,

who was present at the dance, asked
us; "What we were going to do?" We
replied; That we were going to talk to
Scott's boss about firing him and
possibly write a letter to the Daily Col¬
legian." This administrator advised us
that; "If we took that path, that we
were punks for stirring up trouble." It
just seems to me that the reason that
we came to ooUege was to expand our
minds, to be able, to handle life on our
own in regards to what is right and
what is wrong.
Where as according to this CSUF
administrator, Ihe proper path to take
was to just let things be. Well, I have
one major problem with this way. with
his way. As an Artist I have built my
life on expressing my thoughts and
feelings through words and pictures.
-If you take that away from me then all
I have left is a world with no hope and
filled with lies, all created by people
like this administrator and USU tech¬
nician. Personally, I think the whole
thing is one big lying joke and I'm
tired of it all. Now I'm just expressing
my thoughts, and if it stirs up trouble,
well at least someone cared enough to
say that what happened at the Satellite
Union was wrong.
