Harkin's populist message, aggressive approach falling on
Editor's note: This is the fifth article
in a continuing series profiling thepresi
dential candidates.
By Eric Lusk
State and National Editor
U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin's fiery mes
sage of rebuilding the American
economy and aggressive rebuke of Presi
dent Bush's domestic policies have
failed to incite populist sentiment among
many voters.
The Iowa politician sits in fourth
place in a highly contested Democratic
race, just two weeks before the Feb. 18
New Hampshire primary. Many politi
cal observers don't expect Hark in to
advance closer to the race's front-runners
as the first primary draws near.
"What Harkin brings to the race is a
sense of passion, a sense of fire and a
sense of commitment to Democratic
values," said Gary Nordlinger, presi
dent of Nordlinger Associates, a Demo
cratic media consultant firm.
"The problem with Harkin's mes
sage is that it's full of passion and fire,
but it has fallen on deaf ears," he said.
Harkin, who fashions his political
rhetoric after the give-'em-hell style of
December that they would begin to en
force a regulation prohibiting Odum
Village residents from providing home
day care.
"In order to assist in meeting the
child-care needs of Odum Village and
the general University community, the
day-care ban which prohibited individu
als from operating day-care homes in
Odum Village has been removed," the
memorandum states.
Anderson said, "(We want) to make
a commitment to improving day care in
Odum Village."
"I just wanted to take my time and
make the free throws, even though I
missed one earlier," Phelps said.
The Tar Heels brought an end to the
nation's longest winning streak at 23
games. North Carolina also snapped
Duke's Atlantic Coast Conference
regular-season winning streak at 1 1
games. No. 2 Oklahoma State also lost
Wednesday, leaving the No. 1 ranking
in doubt.
Instead of Duke taking control with
one of its patented scoring runs, it was
the Tar Heels (16-3, 6-2 ACC) who
opened the second half with 1 0 straight
points. Then, when North Carolina
needed its offense the most, it had to
rely on free-throw shooting, coming
through with 12 of IS in the last 9 12
minutes. The Tar Heels had no field
goals in the crucial stretch.
Meanwhile, the Blue Devils (17-1,
8-1 ) missed their first four shots in the
second half and committed five turn
overs in five minutes before scoring.
"We've had some strange ones with
Duke here and some over there," North
Carolina coach Dean Smith said. "But
they're going to be there at the end.
You know that."
After Phelps delivered and broke a
tie at 73, the Blue Devils tried to work
the ball for the last shot. Christian
Laettner missed an inside one-hander
over Eric Montross with 24 seconds
left, but Duke recovered and tried once
more. Laettner missed again and Phelps
came away with the rebound, drib
bling into the comer and preserving
the victory.
"They did a very good job of not
even letting me catch it," Laettner said
of the night in general. Normally a 64
percent field-goal shooter, Laettner hit
just 4 of 1 1 shots.
"The second from the last shot was
the easiest shot I took all night," he
said. "Everybody thought I was going
to take a three, then someone flew at
me, so I had to do something else."
The game's intensity was obvious,
as both teams had to be warned about
interfering with the ball after each bas-

President Harry Truman, has not ad
vanced in the polls despite recent adul
tery charges leveled at Democratic
leader Bill Clinton. Harkin, 52, gar
nered 10 percent of voter support in the
latest New Hampshire poll.
"He's always been a very hard-edged
politician, and he runs a very tough
campaign," said Peverill Squire, an as
sociate professor of political science at
the University of Iowa.
"But his personal behaviortums some
people off. I don't think he'd do well in
the general election, but he makes a
good primary candidate."
Firing constant criticism at President
Bush for concentrating too much en
ergy abroad, Harkin conveys a populist
message geared toward cutting defense
spending, focusing on domestic issues
and reinvesting money in the American
economy.

The new regulations will allow resi
dents of nine wing apartments to care
for as many as three children, including
their own.
Residents of other apartments can
care for two children in their homes,
including their own, because state regu
lations do not require day-care provid
ers with two or fewer children to regis
ter, the memorandum states.
Susan Ehringhaus, University legal
counsel, said the wing apartments had
additional exits which fulfilled state
regulations for registered day-care ar

Harkin would slash defense spend
ing by 50 percent during the next 10
years and would invest the savings into
efforts to reduce the budget deficit and
revive the economy, said Alex Sachs, a
press secretary for Harkin's Iowa cam
paign. "We spent about $160 billion a year
defending Europe from the so-called
Soviet threat, which is not there any
more," Sachs said. "The centerpiece of
Harkin'scampaign is a call for reinvest
ment in America to get our economy
back on track in the '90s."
Although Harkin has yet to announce
his specific plans for a comprehensive
health care package, the former U.S.
Navy pilot would "roll up his sleeves
and work on a plan" as his first order of
business if elected, Sachs said.
'Tom's emphasis would be on pre
ventive health care measures," he said.
"He thinks we don't need to spend more
on health care, but we need to spend
more wisely."
The National Journal, a Washington
publication, has voted Harkin one of the
15 most liberal senators presently in
Congress.

eas. Residents of these apartments must
register with the state under the new
University regulations, according to the
memorandum.
Boling said the new regulation was
part of a campuswide attempt to im
prove day-care services.
"The University is really trying its
best to enhance child-care services."
But Steve Wallace, a resident of
Odum Village, said despite student pro
test, no action was taken to change the
day-care policy until faculty members
complained about thepol icy limitations.
DO
candidate's populist approach to issues,
could turn voters away from Harkin and
toward more mainstream candidates,
said Paul Gronke, an assistant professor
of political science at Duke University.
"I don't think the American public is
going to endorse increasing taxes and
other things he has proposed," Gronke
said.
"I think Harkin is behind the times."
Born and raised near the coal fields
of Iowa, Harkin is the state's first can
didate for the White House.
But Iowa voters haven't thrown their
full support behind the home-grown
product, Squire said.
"Senator Harkin has always been
moderately popular here," he said. "I
wouldn't say it's necessarily an over
whelming enthusiasm. People were sur
prised by his candidacy."
Harkin supporters maintain that their
candidate has the ideas, the drive and
' the commitment to challenge for the
Democratic nomination.
'Tom Harkin is the one candidate
who has enunciated an electrifying
message about rebuilding America,"
Sachs said. "The U.S. is in dire need of
new leadership Tom is the choice."

"The University deserves a pat on the
back for getting (the new regulation)
done, but they deserve a kick in the butt
for what it took to get it done," he said.
The regulation was changed because
of complaints from students and fac
ulty, he said. "We got a lot of feedback
from people affected by it."
Anderson said the old regulation was
formulated in the 1970s because of stu
dent complaints about noise and traffic
concerns.

Recent meetings between adminis

new questions about the future site of
the black cultural center.
Michelle Thomas, Black Student
Movement executive assistant, said
Chancellor Paul Hardin implied in a
meeting Monday that the University
would not build a free-standing Sonja

Hardin said Wednesday night that he
was against new construction projects.
He said he also opposed construction of
a building for the Honors Program.
"I'm very concerned about new foot
prints," Hardin said.
"I am very, very supportive of the
BCC, and I am anxious to upgrade that
space," he said.
"I'm a little worried about paving
over more trees and grass."
