  • The Western Carolinian The Voice of The Students Thursday, July 10,1980 VOL XVL, NO. 35 Gudger Speaks To Sylva Audience Last Tuesday night eleventh-district Congressman Lamar Gudger addressed local residents and members of the Jackson County Shooting Club at the Community Services Building located in Sylva. The evening included a speech and a film, "How Our Laws Are Made," by Gudger, and a "grassroots" question and answer session. Rep. Gudger attempted to bridge the gap between the politician and the average citizen by answering questions in an informal way. "Working for the people of Western North Carolina is the highest calling I can attend to," says Gudger. According Gudger, he represents the people of his district, not the lobbyists. Rep. Gudger serves on both the Judiciary Committee and the subcommittee of courts in Congress. Some of the activities of the Judiciary Committee have been rewriting the Criminal Code and rewriting patent laws. Concerning reinstatement of draft registration the congressman stated, I "I don't see anything wrong with it. Do we follow it up with the Draft? I don't think so." Sometimes referred ' to as a "Hawk' in foreign defense Rep. Gudger expressed concern about the United States' current level of military preparedness. Sidetracking in a light-hearted manner; he recalled a story told to him by a fellow congressman. This person had had a dream that Jimmy Carter had died and gone to heaven. There, he meets former president, Teddy Roosevelt. Mr. Roosevelt said, "President Carter, you've got the This aerial photograph entitled, "Escape Route From Cullowhee" is one of the many photos courtesy of our own Rick McDaniel. Rick's artwork can be seen on pages 6 and 7. job that I used to have years ago. What's goin' on down there?" "Well," says Carter, "We've got 53 of our people over there in our U.S. Embassy in Tehran." "Well, did you send the Marines? Did they go in to rescue? "No sir. We made an appeal to the U.N. We also called on the World Court." "Well, is there anything else going on down there?" "The Russians invaded Afghanistan." "What did you do? Did you send in the Marines, the Army, the Navy, everything you got?" "No, we withdrew from the Olympics." Whereupon Mr. Roosevelt supposedly said, "Well the next thing you'll be telling me is that we've given away the Panama Canal!'' On the Rare II issue. Rep. Gudeer stated,"i will turn to page 8 please. Anderson: A Force To Be Reconed With By Don Womit k Staff Writer There are several Americans who are disenchanted with the choices offered by the major parties. There are a few other possibilities; however, if you look a bit closer. So if you can't stand the thought of four more years of Carter and the mention of Reagan's name sends chills up your spine, look at the rest of the options. Should you be conservative minded, you may vote for Barry Commoner of the Citizens Party. And for the anarchists there is the Libertarian Party who features Ed Clark. Or there is John Anderson. While Commoner and Clark are truly minor candidates, Anderson could turn out to be something else; that being the next president of the United States. The possibility is remote but it is there. Public disenchantment with Carter and Reagan is running high. This same dischantment provides the basis for the Anderson candidacy. Anderson left the race for the Republican nomination in late April when it became obvious that Reagan had the nomination sewn un .Since.Jhen, in several states his supporters have collected two or tnree times the number of signatures required to get his udiue orl i the ballot in November. According to an ABC Harris poll taken in June, 23 percent of the nation's voters support Anderson, while Jimmy Carter draws 33 percent and Reagan 39 percent. However, the same poll shows that 55 percent dislike the Carter-Reagan choice; and if voters think Anderson has a reai chance ot winning, they give Reagan 35 percent. Carter 31 percent and Anderson 29 percent. Also, in the nation's eight most populous states, which account for 216 of the 270 electoral votes needed for election, the results are Reagan 34. Carter 32, and Anderson 29. Then, those polled should be asked how they would vote if Anderson had a chance to win the scores switched to Anderson 36, Carter 32, and Reagan 31. Still, where does Anderson stand on the issues and what type of individual is he? First, he is a loner and a devout evangelical Christian. He also considers himself a political outsider while viewing backroom politics with distate. On the issues Anderson has taken tough and sometimes unpopular stands. For instance in energy, he proposes a 50 cent-a-gallon tax on gasoline to'cut energy waste. Anderson proposes to use the tax money to reduce Social Security payroll taxes and to increase benefits. Though conservative on economic issues, he is a social liberal; he is pro-abortion and pro-handgun control. The former Illinois congressman also is a Tum to page 8 please.
