Meredith Herald Voh4m€6,Number8 October 17, 1990 1990-1991: CelebratingMtredUb's Charier Centeruial Gantt on Campaign Trail, Appeals to Students by Kym Spell An entou* rage of stone faced men in suits and dark glasses made their way through the crowd of jubi lant college students. They surrounded a man that has become one of the most rec* ognized faces in North Caro lina politics to day. Blue and white balloons, soul- stirring music, and an enthusiastic crowd of young voters set the scene for yet another senatorial campaign rally. The place was N.C. State University and on October 1, college students from across the state gathered to hear a man who they hope will become the next U.S. Senator, Harvey Gantt. Former governor Jim Hunt began as the first speaker by saying, “It is lime for a change in this nation.” Hunt aitidzed the state for slipping in its commitment to education and reiterated that Gantt is talking about education because “that’s what really matters.” When Gantt approached the podium, the crowd responded with enthusiastic cheers and a “Harvey, Harvey" chant. Gantt stressed that North Carolinians want a change. He told the crowd he would deal with the important issues of providing adequate healthcare, AIDS research and support, and compassion for people. He said he wants to see youngsters on the front side get a chance and that in North Carolina today some students are Herald Publishes Abbreviated Edition Welcome back from Fall Break!

These students cannot compete with the worid market and Gantt says it must change. Other issues Gantt discussed were the importance of continuing student loans, cleaning up the environment, passing the Clean Air Bill, solving the problems of the homeless, and reducing the high infant mortality rate. Gantt stated that these issues affect Democrats as well as Republicans. “If you believe in the future and life in a higher plane, then we in America can deal with these issues and solve them if we have the will.” Gantt closed his speech by saying that in the last 36 days before the election he needs help from the students by acting as “truth squads,” and by helping educate other people about the untruths in opponent Jesse Helms' television ads - which Gantt referred to as “Junk Food Ads." Mr. Gana concluded by telling the group that the senatorial race could be as close as a few thousand votes and he would love to be able to say that the young people are the ones who made the difference.
