Dole outlines plan of attack
Presidential candidate tells of debate strategy to Kansas City crowd
By Neal Shulenburger

Bob Dole vowed to take off the kid gloves at yesterday's rally in Kansas City, Mo.

Dole told the nearly 2,000 people who filled Barney Allis Plaza that he would go on the attack in Wednesday night's debate. He said he had been too soft on Clinton in the first debate.

Dole said he would attack the Clinton administration's amorality.
"In the last couple of weeks, people have been yelling at me what they used to yell to Truman, Give 'em hell hail," Dole said. "And you know what he said, I tell 'em the truth and they think it's hell. That's what I'm going to do in the debate on Wednesday night."
"About 30 people in this administration are already gone," Dole said. "They are in jail, or they are indicted, or they're out of there, and he talks about an ethical administration. He does not have an ethical administration and we're going to go after that on Wednesday night."
When discussing his chances to win, Dole again likened his candidacy to that of former president Harry Truman.
"We're just a few miles down the road from Independence, the home of former President Truman, and he won a come-from-behind victory in 1958 and I'm going to do it again in 1996," Dole said.
The Republicans' economic plan figured prominently in the rally as well. Speeches were sandwiched between renditions of Bachman Turner Overdrive's *Taking Care of Business* and a sign resembling a check was displayed above the podium. It read: pay to the order of your family $1,261 from president Bob Dole.
The check referred to the Republicans' proposed across-the-board 15 percent tax.
Dole said that the tax decrease was one of the biggest reasons to vote for him on Nov. 5.
"It's your money, it's not our money, it's your
money." Dole said.
Unlike Clinton, Dole said, the Republicans would keep their promise to cut taxes, referring to Clinton's promise to cut taxes for the middle class in 1992.
"Now anyone who got the middle class tax cut can vote for Clinton on Nov. 5, but nobody got it," Dole said. "What did you get instead? You got the biggest tax increase in the history of America. And now we're going to do the opposite."
To pay for the plan, Dole said the Republicans would increase federal spending only 14 percent during the next six years, which is less than Clinton's proposed 20 percent increase.
"We'll give you back the difference, give you back the 6 percent," he said.
Other Republican economic plans discussed at the rally included a $500 a child tax credit, capital gains tax cuts and the end of estate taxes for inheritance.
Ryan Kauffman, Overland Park junior and chairman of the College Republicans, said the Republican economic plan also should be emphasized at the final presidential debate.
"The fact is that Dole's tax cut automatically includes everybody, whereas under Clinton's plan if you're not buying a house or not going to school you are basically left out," he said. "I think that is an important advantage."
Dole will get a chance to put his new strategy to the test on Wednesday night at the final presidential debate in San Diego.
Columbus offends Native Americans
Exploitation makes the holiday tragic, some say
By Nicholas C. Charalambous
Kansan staff writer
Yet Columbus' discovery of America in 1492 has been a holiday recognized by the federal government since 1791.
Michael Yellow Bird, assistant professor of social welfare, said images of Columbus in malls and banks added insult to injury.
The legacy of Christopher Columbus is disease, death, enslavement and the dispossession of Native-American lands and culture, say many Native Americans. It's nothing to be proud of.
"To indigenous people that is akin to the Jews being forced to stomach the celebration of Hitler's birthday," he said.
Yellow Bird and more than 20 students and faculty gathered yesterday in front of Wescoe Hall to speak out against the myth that Columbus helped civilize a continent.
"People are celebrating colonization and the American dream," Yellow Bird said. "We use events like these as part of the decolonization of the American mind."
Native Americans held placards that read "Columbus didn't discover America, our ancestors discovered Columbus" and "Termination, acculturation, discrimination, but we continue to survive."
Elyse Towey, co-president of the
Native-American Students Association, said it was not a day of protest, but a day to celebrate the resiliency of Native-American people and the survival of their culture.
"We're trying to heal oursels," said Towey, Napa, Calif., junior. "We're not going to let ourselves be victimized any longer."
Native Americans have to get an education to make sure they get the resources they need from the government, she said.
Towey attacked the government for cutbacks in health and education services. Native Americans still are discriminated against, she said.
Cornel Peweardy, instructor in higher education, said he wanted to reclaim Columbus Day as a national holiday to honor Native American
heritage. Columbus Day raises awareness of Native-American issues and can be used to celebrate Native-American identity.
Peweyward said multicultural education, not violence, had been the tool he had been using to end oppression of Native Americans. To have learned the language of the oppressor was also to have learned the strategies of empowerment.
Andrew Perkins, Topea senior, said he understood the tragic results of colonization for Native-American people. But the historical significance of the discovery of America still should be understood.
"Regardless of whether people want to take the negative connotations of it, both things have to be recognized," he said.
