Page 2A-THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Wednesday, March 29, 1989 [Deaths | STUDENTS WELCOME SENATOR-JJ Warlick, left, Senator Terry Sanford , Lisa Lund and Jay Hendricks chat at Kings Mountain Senior High School during the Senator's visit last week. Sanford Speaks At KMHS By MARTY HOHMANN Of the Herald Staff U.S. Senator Terry Sanford was greeted warmly by students, faculty and local dignitaries at Kings Mountain High School on March 22 when he made a brief stop to address the student body. For about 800 sophomores, junior and seniors, it was an opportunity to question the Senator about issues of concem. And for Sanford, it was a chance to hear what is on the minds of North Carolina's youth while putting forth principles of the Democratic party. The 71-year-old Senator, who was elected in 1986, said he likes to stop at one school in every county and added, "you get a lot done by talking to students. And the students of Kings Mountain High School were on- ly too willing to oblige with questions on everything from the national debt to abortion. With the bicentennial of the Constitution being cele- brated, Sanford spoke on the importance of the Constitution and he said it is a document that means, in part, that Americans should care about the welfare of others. "Welfare has become a word sort of like 'liberal'," he said. That is something Sanford hopes to change. "The philosophy of this country is not a self-cen- tered philosophy," he said. "Wherever you go, you still have to be a part of this Constitution. You've got to be a good citizen and you've got to care about other people.” Sanford encouraged students to be a paw: of the governmental process and to make the Consgitution work. "We can't run this government the way the Constitution foresaw unless we have everybody take '64 Class Reunion Set part,” he noted. Running the government was a topic of great inter- est to students. The Senator, when asked about the na- tional debt, criticized the Reagan and Bush administra- tions for trying to hide from the issue. He said that the debt can only be reduced by raising taxes because pro- grams such as welfare entitlements and farm subsidies can't be cut. "If you put a padlock on the White House and shut down the government, you would still have a debt," he said. When asked about the Tower nomination and the scrutiny public figures receive from the press, Sanford said, "If you want to be a public figure, your personal life ought to be a part of the examination. Any one of you would have agreed with me that we could do bet- ter than Tower." On the issue -of the possibility that the Supreme Court may overturn Roe versus Wade, the landmark decision that gave states the ability to legislate abor- tion, Sanford noted concerns. "If the Supreme Court overrules that case, then we are going to be back in a state of controversy and tur- moil that the case resolved," he said. The Senator received enthusiastic applause for his answer to a question concerning the Congressional pay raise. "Well, everybody would like to have a raise,” he said. "But I'm against it until something is done about the budget and the debt." Before his departure, Sanford also made a presenta- So of an American flag to student! council members J. Warlick, Jay Hendricks and Lisa Lund. The flag had been flown over the Capitol on March 17 in honor of the school by Sanford's request.
