Robinson’s BBQ Opens Snack Bar

Staff Writer
The Snack Bar in Coltrane
Commons is open again this year, and is
now managed by Robinsons BB.Q.
Robinson’s Bar-B-Q has been
open now for nearly a month on a “Cash
Only” basis. At Robinson’s, a wide
variety of home-made food is served.
Last year the Student Union was
open to students so that they could use
their meal cards to purchase meals. In
answer to a petition recently circulated in
the dorms concerning a meal card
scanner, the Administration replied that
there might be one “sometime in the
future”.
Senator Dole Shoots For Oval Office
Jon Ostendorff
Editor
Senate majority leader Republican
Bob Dole is once again, running for the
presidential office. The last time he ran
was in 1988. His defeat by George Bush
in the New Hampshire primaries put him
out of the race completely. Now, in
1996, the Senator from Kansas has a 35%
majority placing him first over Colin
Powell’s 20% vote.
Dole attended the University of
Kansas, 1941-1943 and Wasbum
University of Topeka, in 19.52. He
served in the U.S. Army from 1943 to
1948 and was wounded in Italy in 1944.
Dole’s political career started in the
Kansas House, 1951-53. He was Russell
County attorney from 1953 to 1961.
From 1961 to 1969 he served in the U.S.
House and has served in the U.S. Senate
since 1968. Dole was the Republican
nominee for vice president in 1976. He
also sought Republican nomination for
president in 1980 and 1988.
Senator Dole at 71 years old is
certainly an experienced leader, and he
has also developed the essential skills of
pushing bills in the Senate. However, he
has not shown the charismatic articulation
or national vision that may be necessary
to win votes. Dole, unlike some of the
GOP members, is a small town
Republican who believes in fiscal
conservation. “He personifies what the
voters in 1994 rejected”, says Lyn Shaw,
executive director of the Kansas
Democratic Party. “Dole is absolutely the
insiders’ insider.”
Dole’s platform includes slashing
business regulations to increase economic
growth and requiring a 3/5 majority vote
in congress for future tax increases. He
also plans to scrap the federal tax system
and instate a flat tax rate that is theorized
to be efficient.
The New Hampshire primaries have,
in the past, accurately predicted the GOP
presidential candidate. With the majority
Bob Dole holds, he may have a shot at
the Oval Office this time around.

and open the box out in the field. The|
mice will then run away with no furtherl

All in all, something must be donejl
soon to make Jones a healthier place, j
Perhaps we can all come together andj
decide upon a way to rid ourselves of the
rodents in Jones Dorm and decide upon a J
way that can eliminate them in a healthy, |
decent, and humane way.
