10 Friday, February 5, 1993 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Coming February 7th 5:30 p.m. A conservative with a curveball tinguished commentary Continued from Page 1. Although Will is a conservative, he certainly is not afraid to slash at conservatives who do not uphold the moral standards he advocates. "Whether you like Will or not, the fact that his arguments are often historically and theoretically motivated gives him a credibility that a lot of commentators don't have." Beginning when Bush was vice president, Will played hardball with him in his columns, continuing into his presidency. In a 1986 column, Will chastised Bush, calling him a "lap dog" for conservatives. Although Cigler likes Will's critiques, George Bush did not. were staying up nights at the pool, after flarewaters. "Will said, Before the column appeared, Will had been an occasional guest at Bush's Houston home. However, when Bush read the column he withdrew his welcome mat. "His critique is of the disintegration of the social fabric of society," Cigar said. For Will, he explained, "Conservatism doesn't just mean making a buck. It means having reverence and respect for the past, and the importance of morality. Cigler said that Will differed in many respects from what most people thought of as conservatism and that he appealed to people of all political persuasions. He said Will questioned free market capitalism because he viewed it as lacking compassion for the less fortunate. "He was saying things about people that flat out weren't true," Will said. --- Although Will generally is heralded by critics to be one of the most articulate voices for the conservative cause, he was not always a conservative. Will was born in 1941 in Champaign, Ill. His father was a professor of philosophy and his mother was a high school teacher. Both were what Will describes as "academic liberals." There was no TV in Will's house until he was grown, which probably contributed to the development of his verbal skills. In 1958, Will left the Midwest for Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., where he study religion and served as sports editor and later editor of the "Radio probably made me into a baseball fan," Will said. "It was the connection to great metropolis like St. Louis and Chicago. But there was radio. VALENTINE GIFTS FOR HIM "If you wanted to learn the costs of modern politics — the mistakes of modern politics — you had to see the Berlin Wall. I was there shortly after a young man who tried to escape was shot and left to bleed to death, I actually helped a guy escape from East Germany before left Europe." Upon returning to the United States, Will entered Princeton University, where he earned a doctorate in political science in 1964. From there, he briefly taught political science at Michigan State University and the University of Toronto before Sen. Gordon Allott, R-Colo., recruited him to join his staff. After Allott was defeated for re-election, Will became Washington editor of the conservative publication National Review in 1973. The same year he began submitting articles for the editorial page of the Washington Post. Dickinson and the Washington Post Writer's Group liked what they saw and asked him to begin a syndicated column. He said the group knew from the beginning that Will's editorial articles would be marketable as syndicated columns.

"Will is a scholar as well as a columnist, and he believes in holding politicians to very high standards." "It is an extraordinary column in the But after attending Oxford University in England for two years, where he obtained a degree in political philosophy. Will quickly became a conservative. Observing Britain's "overbearing" socialistic government, and being introduced to disciples of Frederick von Hayek's free-market economic principles contributed to his conversion.

Sometimes Will's own standards come into question. While at Trinity, Will served as cochairman of Trinity Students for Kennedy in 1960. college newspaper. A liberal during his undergraduate days. Will admits baseball captivated most of his interest until later in college. He also concedes that his baseball experience was George F. Will For Will, writing is a labor of love, with the accent on labor. He writes everything, including his books, by hand with a fountain pen and a yellow tablet. Will said, "It dawned on me one day that if you write a column about nuclear war or disarmament, people will read it, nod, and go on to something else. If you write a column about your dog or your children's pets, those are the ones people cut out, and stick a little magnet on the refrigerator door to keep." His columns are not always gravely serious, nuts and bolts politics. Will said he tried to write a third of his columns about topics unrelated to politics. Besides baseball, a Will column might describe a movie, a family member or a pet. In 1980, he served as an unpaid adviser to Ronald Reagan during Reagan's presidential campaign. At the same time, he continued to serve as a political commentator. Many people thought that was a conflict of interest. Allan Cicler was one of them. "I thought there was a time in his career when his objectivity couldn't be trusted, but I think that time is over," he said. "The careerists in Congress won't even let term limits come to a vote," he said. "Ask yourself this. Poll after poll indicates between 70 and 80 percent of the country favors term limits. Every region, both parties, both sexes." --- "Can you think of anything else in this country that 80 percent of the people want, and Congress won't even allow to come to the floor for a debate and a vote?" Will said careerism was crippling Congress because politicians cater to special interest groups. In November, Will completed his latest book, *Restoration*, which in part is an argument for term limits for Congress. He is opposed to what he calls careerism, elected officials making politics their career. limited to the grandstand because he was not much of an athlete.
