WIT: 'Crossfire' co-host says Kerry will win
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
On foreign policy, Carville said Bush acts alone whenever he can and praised presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) by saying he did the complete opposite of that.
"I've got news for you change is coming in America," he said.
Carville said several times throughout the night that he was confident Kerry would win the election in November.
He said one reason for his bold prediction was that Al Gore actually won the popular election in 2000 by about 500,000 votes, and that in the years since then, Bush has turned off a lot of his own voters.
"When was the last time you heard someone say, 'I voted for Gore in 2000 but I'm so impressed with Bush that I'll vote for him in 2004," he said.
was about the upcoming election.
"I want to believe him, but I don't know if he should be that certain," he said.
Zach Stolz, a Wichita secondyear law student, said he was surprised at how assured Carville
Bush wasn't the only one Carville attacked. He aimed one his most colorful criticisms at presidential candidate Ralph Nader.
"I said I wouldn't urinate down his throat if his heart was on fire," he said, causing the audience to erupt in laughter.

FEES: Students unsure of what they're paying for

be approved by the chancellor and then the Board of Regents.
Senate's influence over the fees means that students have an avenue to change fees that they disagree with.
Sarah Glavin, Kansas City, Kan., senior, didn't know how much the fees were, and when she saw the list she was surprised by the Student Health Fee. The fee, which goes to operate Watkins Memorial Health Center, is the highest at $90.50 per semester.
Glavin said the amount seemed high because she usually ended up paying fees after each Watkins visit.
"I've always paid at Watkins." Glavin said. "The first thing they do when I go there is ask about
my insurance."
The Student Recreation and Fitness Fee is the next largest at $62. Erica Edwards, Wichita junior, said she thought that fee should be optional.
The health fee entitles students to routine check-ups by doctors or nurses and reduces some charges on lab tests. Other services, such as prescriptions, ex-rays or physical therapy are paid by students or their medical insurance.
"I don't use it, these hills are enough for me," Edwards said. "That $62 could buy me a book for class."
Edwards said she would rather see more money go to the Campus Safety Fee.
"Walking from the scholarship halls to Naismith is really scary at sundown and having blue lights
really help." Edwards said.
The $2 safety fee was set to expire this year but Senate recently voted to extend it for at least another three years.
After seeing the list of fees, Flores said he had a greater appreciation for Senate's ability to distribute the nearly $600 a year that each student pays.
Kyle Johnson, engineering senator, said that if students had concerns about their fees they could join a Senate committee or contact their senators.
"They can just get ahold of the Senate Office and give their perspective," Johnson said. "If enough students ask for something we can probably get it done."

Kerry says Bush weak on economy
The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — John Kerry lashed out at Vice President Dick Cheney yesterday, accusing Cheney of distorting his Senate record on taxes as the Democrat sought to shift the debate to President Bush's stewardship of the economy.
"This administration has one economic policy for America—3 million jobs lost and driving gas prices towards $3 a gallon," the presumptive Democratic nominee told students at a jobs training center in Sacramento.
Hours after Cheney called him "one of the most reliable pro-tax votes in the Senate," Kerry delivered a sharp rebuke, faulting the Bush administration for waging a campaign of "half-truths."
"They found Dick Cheney in an undisclosed location and brought him out to attack me," Kerry said at the start of a town hall meeting at the Charles A. Jones Skills & Business Education Center. "That seems to be his designated role, not to create jobs, but to attack John Kerry.
Two weeks ago, Kerry and Cheney engaged in a crosscountry, rhetorical fight over national security and the Democrat's credentials to be commander in chief. On Monday, they sparred over taxes and the economy.
