Hillary Clinton stumps in Lawrence
By KC Trauer
Hillary Clinton brought her husband's campaign themes to 6,500 people yesterday on the Campanile Hill for the University's largest election-year political rally since 1968.
Clinton stood on a platform in front of a large "Register and Vote" banner and urged the audience including a couple of small but vocal opposition groups — to make a difference in the election by voting.
The rally was organized by KU Students for Clinton and KU Young Democrats and was to encourage students to register to vote.
"All over this world people have been literally dying for the right to vote," Clinton said. "And all too often in our country we can't get off the couch after we've grumbled and numbed in front of the television set to get up and vote."
She quickly moved on to her husband's campaign issues, re-emphasizing his stance on economic policies, education and health care as a band of supporters in front of the stage periodically waved Bill Clinton/AI Gore signs.
Clinton said a president should challenge the United States' education system to produce students who can lead the world in math and science.
Bill Clinton would do this by fully financing Head Start and by ensuring that all students could afford a chance to earn a four-year degree, she said.
"Let's scrap the existing student loan program and substitute for it the National Service Trust Fund that my husband has proposed," Clinton said.
"Every young person could borrow to go to college, but they would have to pay it back," she said. "No more defaulting on student loans. You borrow
the money; you pay it back."
"It would not only be the best investment in your education, it would also enable us to solve the real problems that have been neglected too long," she said.
Under this plan, students would pay back loans by giving a percentage of their after-college income or by working two years for the government as teachers, police officers, nurses and home builders for the homeless, she said.
Clinton followed a parade of speakers, including U.S. Representative Jim Slattery, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Gloria O'Dell and Gov. Joan Finney, who was roundly booed.
Slattery said the crowd turnout reminded him of when Robert Kennedy spoke to a packed Allen Field House in 1968.
"I've seen big crowds, but none as impressive as this one, which swept up the hill to the magnificent tower. And the enthusiasm of the crowd was beyond my expectations." Clinton said after the rally.
The rally also attracted perennial protester the Rev. Fred Phelps and a small group of President Bush's supporters.
Clinton said the crowd impressed her.
LaRocco said she thought it was appropriate to protest Hillary Clinton, with whom she disagrees on everything.
Bush's supporters held George Bush/Dan Quayle signs and beckoned Clinton throughout her speech.
"In my mind she has her own ideas for having this country changed, and she will have an influence on her husband." LaRocco said. "Anone who's married knows that's true."
Rosemarie LaRocco, Lawrence graduate student, simply held up a sign saying, "Americans were on the ground."
But most of the crowd voiced support for the speakers on the platform who reflected on the change of political winds in Kansas.
Matt All, president of KU Young Democrats, said, "If this was a normal year in Kansas, we Democrats would be sweating right now with the luster of the convention worn off. But this is not a normal year."
Jason McIntosh, president of KU Students for Clinton, said he thought a Democrat could win Kansas for the first time since 1964, when Lyndon Johnson beat Barry Goldwater here.
After the rally ended, Clinton took a scheduled trip to Ye Olde Sugarsity Shoppe, a Riverfront Plaza candy store, where she voted in an informal jellbean noll for president.
She voted for Bill Clinton with a cinnamon-flavored bellbean.

Gore,Quayle clash in debate
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Dan Quayle and AI Gore collided in fierce, finger-pointing debate last night, the vice president attacking Bill Clinton as a man who "has trouble telling the truth," and his rival branding the Republicans as "blinded to the suffering" inflicted by a sour economy.
James Stockdale punctuated his outsider's status as Ross Perot's running mate with a sharp remark after one bickering Quayle-Gore exchange: "I think America is seeing why this nation is in gridlock."
The political imperative was clear for each of the running mates: boost the fortunes of the man at the top of the ticket in a race that has exactly three weeks left and shows Clinton with a solid lead in the polls.
It was the second of four campaign debates this fall, and the format — no panel of questioners, just Bruno — made it a lifelong affair. The debate ended with brief closing statements in which each man recapitulated his underlying theme for the evening.
Stockade said the United States is "in deep trouble," and Perot alone can "bring out the fire hoses" need to restore the nation.
"We've got to change directions," Gore said. "Bill Clinton offers a new approach. We are bigger than George Bush has told us we are as a nation."
Quayle stressed Bush's experience in times of crisis and then made one final attack on Clinton's credibility and character.
With those final words, the three men walked out from behind their podiums and shook hands, and their surrogates swiftly moved through the ranks of reporters with ritual claims of triumph.

Quayle goes on attack seeking to forget 1988
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Vice President Dan Quamey came on like a charging bull in last night's vice presidential debate.
Quayle repeatedly gestured and pointed angrily at Democrat Al Gore as he apparently sought to compensate for his passive 1988 performance.
Quayle went on the attack from the beginning of the 90-minute debate, seeking to paint Gore as an environmental extremist and Democratic nominee Bill Clinton as lacking in character.
"Bill Clinton has trouble telling the truth,"Quayle asserted.
ANALYSIS
In his opening statement, Gore
said, "I'll make you a deal this evening. If you don't try to compare George Bush to Harry Truman, I won't compare you to Jack Kennedy."
Quayle retorted: "This is 1992."
Quyle retorted "This is 1992." Even though he became less animated as the debate wore on, Quyle continued with a response from independent challenger James Stockdale that brought down the house.
Quayle: "Ihope America is listening very closely to this debate tonight."
Stockdale: "And I think America is seeing right now the reason this nation is in gridlock."
A suspected gas leak caused police and fire officials to evacuate Malott Hall for about an hour yesterday. Crews later uncovered one underground pipe to allow it to ventilate.

Professor will not instruct if found guilty or proceedings still pending, law dean says
See story, Page 3.
By Lynne McAdoo Kansas staff writer
Despite being embroiled in his own dismissal hearings, Emil Tonkovich, professor of law, is scheduled to teach four classes in Spring 1993.
Kansan staff writer
Bob Jerry, dean of the law school, said that if the hearings were still pending next semester, or if the professor was found guilty of the charges, Tonkovich would not teach in the spring. Tonkovich could teach if he is found innocent of the charges.
"There was no implication one way or another." jerry said.
Jerry said the curriculum was still being worked on and that he did not know yet who would replace Tonkovich if he was unable to teach.
Tonkovich has been on paid leave since Fall 1991.
"We will have other people covering the courses." Jerry said.
Some students said they thought not scheduling Tonkovich to teach in the spring would be unfair.
Gregory Glass, third-year law student,
said, "The hearings are over yet, it would
be hard to tell."
Kate Rainbolt, first-year law student,
said: "I think maybe it's to show that he is innocent until proven guilty."
Jerry Rank, a first-year law student, said he thought that if the law school did not keep Tonkovich on the schedule to teach the courses it could imply that the school assumed he was guilty.
"They are not going to make a decision until they find him guilty," he said. "He is part of the faculty and they have got to give him support."
Tonkovich is scheduled to teach Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Criminal Procedure Review and Criminal Justice Clinic. Both Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure are required courses for first-year law students.
Chancellor Gene Budig requested Tonkovich's dismissal for violation of the faculty conduct and moral tupi.
Tonkovich's classes
Emil Tonkovich is scheduled to teach the following classes during the spring semester:
■ Law 862 Criminal Law
■ Law 842 Criminal Procedure
■ Law 931 Criminal Justice Clinic
■ Law 933 Criminal Review Review
tude in Fall 1991. He was accused of sexually harassing female students.
rne hearings for Tonkovich's dismissal are being held every Thursday before the faculty committee on tenure and related problems and will convene tomorrow for the eighth day.
