Jackson leaves Continued from page A1 No one should question whether Jesse Jackson has any thing valuable to say, or whether or not he deserves to be heard. HBy whom?" is the real ques tion. Who is it that really needs to hear his message now? Who are the souls that need to be saved? Who ait the real sinners among us? Jackson is one of the most articulate and insightful people you will ever meet. He has an extraordinary mind. He understands better than George Bush what the true implications are of a "new world order." He has the uncanny ability to listen to what you just said, and then say it back to you, in a way that makes you wish that you had said it that way in the , first place. His impact on the platform of the Democratic party, indeed. Democratic party politics in general, is indelible. To this day, many of us remain convinced that America made a serious mistake by elect ing Reagan instead of Jackson, during the 1984 election. But that was then. This is now. And I say that it makes good sense, for the Right Reverend to move to the Republicans party now, and begin to work his magic on the other side of the aisle. Think about it If you are a conservative white republican, right now your second greatest fear is George Bush, who is so much in the middle that he is forced to wear a girdle. But your greatest fear is that what happened to the Democrat ic party could happen to the Republican party. If Jesse Jackson makes his mind up, he can do what no other political leader in this cen tury has been able to do. He could deliver seven million vot ers to the Republican side of the political equation, thus creating a situation where each party would be forced to deal with his agenda right square in the middle. This would be an incredible feat! Jessie Louis Jackson would have been responsible for bring ing the Democrats back from their earlier right ? winged fringe, and by now joining with the Republicans, would also draw them farther away from their tendency to be right winged as well. Only one man in America can do this. The question is, is the Reverend Jackson ready to preach to the other side of the church? If Jackson really wants to have the kind of impact on American politics ? indeed world history ? that he so des perately craves ? (deservedly) he ought to let the Democrats go right now ? before sundown. Is Jackson up to his greatest challenge? Candidates Continued from page A1 ence at WSSU for being the biggest turnout they've received. All of the candidates were in favor of supporting black colleges and universities. "I'm the product of a black college," said Earl Jones. "And we know they only exist because we have a racist society. So there's a need for them and we have to support Thenn^ Little said: "How can we say we are- having a war on education when only $150 mil lion is spent to enhance histori cally black institutions and $2 billion was spent to produce one B2 bomber? That's asi nine." George Jones said: "Drug revention will be the hallmark of what we need to do. We need to work with youngsters on what is necessary to stay away from drugs and crime." Earl Jones criticized the government, saying that if America was serioii? about stopping crime and drugs that it would invest more money than it has. "America is not serious about stopping drugs. They were serious about Saddam Hussein and they stopped Sad dam Hussein," he said. Candidates were in agreed ment on rebuilding the infras tructure of the inner city and seeking welfare reforms. Watt said he was opposed to capital punishment but in favor of the Bardy Bill that will "keep guns out of the hands of our communities." Smith said the foruift g?ve the people and opportunity to "really see what areas the can didates were familiar with." She said she was, however, dis appointed with the lack of knowledge the candidates had on the "State of Black Ameri ca," a report produced and pub lished by the National Urban League. WSSU Chancellor Cleon Thompson said he was pleased with the student participation and with the candid comments made by the candidates. "It was interesting how they had different approaches on some issues but were in general agreement on issues such as welfare reform," he said.
