Reagan's purported angle on Mondale is that the former vice-president is a Figure of the past and that he won't stray far from the official party platform in the future. Yet, Reagan's campaign tactics seem ironic considering Reagan's own past record as movie star and California governor haven't been without fault. Reagan would rather not dwell on his past, however, with the bloated defense budget higher than ever and unemployment at an al! time high. While Reagan may criticize Mondale for being a part of the Carter administration's shortcomings. Reagan has nobody to answer to but himself, and that alone should be his biggest concern. According to Republican campaign strategists. Reagan hopes to get four million new voters through a voter registration drive to take place in 23 U.S. states, and he is prepared to dish out the funds for it. As it stands, the SI6 million needed to ride out the campaign trail itself has already been raised and is just waiting to be spent. Reagan's exact campaign schedule has yet to be determined, but there should be no shortage of funds for both the campaign and the registrati Reagan's target publics are all planned out: Hispanics, so- called independent voters, 25 to 40-year old voters (the post- Letters Policy The Daily Collegian welcomes expressions of all views from readers.

World War II "baby boom" generation), and women and blue collar workers. Reagan has not traditionally had good rapport with these groups of people, but you can't blame the guy for trying just the same. Reagan hopes to appeal to those voters who are left cold by the platforms of Mondale, Jackson and Hart, and at the same time, being careful not to "offend" any loyal party supporters —quite a task in itself. Reagan himself also plans to concentrate on more future-oriented issues like exploration in space, hoping the public, in the meantime, will have forgotten his foreign policy (or lack of one) concerning the Beirut, Grenada and Central America issues. Reagan is presently more involved in obtaining funds for covert aid to various Central American countries than ever before in his own past. It seems that the Reagan campaign machine is all set for a Mondalc-Reagan confrontation, but the Republican party would be wise not to forecast the future in that regard because anything can happen between now and November, and the last thing that the Reagan campaign needs is for something unexpected to occur. As far as Reagan's highly-polished campaign plans against Mondale are concerned, it's a good thing that the president is dwelling on the past of one of his opponents rather than on his own. Reagan's past is full of empty campaign promises left over from the last presidential election. In the long run, Reagan's own past failed policies in government will do more harm than Mondale's could ever do. Just ask the few remaining members of Reagan's original administration about the past. It has a way of coming back to haunt you, especially in elections. Opinionated?

It's sad to think with all the things CSUF does for Fresno, that Mayor Dan. wearing the same type of white Vintage Days committee polo shirt that l myself was wearing, could only think of liquor sales.
