  • October 20, 1994 Western Carolinian Features Congressional Candidate Lauterer Visits WCU John Rush Staff Reporter "Remember who you are," Maggie Lauterer says to a small crowd at Grandma's Pancake Barn on Thursday morning. This is her battle cry for all faithful Democrats to get to the polls and make a difference in the political direction of Western North Carolina's 11th district. The congressional race will be at the top of the ticket, so it will receive a great deal of attention from the public. This particular race is a milestone in this district because of the fact that Lauterer is a member of the ordinary middle class society, which makes up over 75% of the American population. She is also a woman, and it is no secret that the government has always had a substantial lack of the American female's voice in important issues. 51% of America's population is made up of women, but 89% of the representatives in congress are men. Lauterer feels that if we are to accomplish a true a balance in decision making, we must fill up this gender gap with intelligent, socially aware, hard working women. The campaign then moved to the second floor lobby of the University Center, where Lauterer delivered a small speech expressing her main concerns about the problems in Congress. "The main reason why nothing gets done in Washington is because most of the Republicans are to proud to talk to the Democrats. So naturally, a huge communication gap forms between the two parties." Lauterer believes that the two parties should quit bickering about small moral issues, and get straight to the facts. The assault weapons ban was welcomed by Lauterer's family because of the tragedy of her father's murder just five years ago. But she is also tired of people saying that she will take their guns away. The only stand she takes on guns are banning guns that are clearly meant for the battle field, not the American streets. Her largest concern for Western North Carolina is bettering the education system. "Education is our future-it means everything. We must take our educational system and make it better. Our children must be ready for tomorrow and beyond. They need all of us to work together towards this goal." "The plan" that Maggie Lauterer has is a simple three step process. (1) 'Ensure that children will be safe and free from fear in our schools." (2) "Provide students with access to high-technology learning experiences at school and in the community." (3) "Establish clear lines of accountability for educational outcomes and fiscal management." After putting two kids through public schools, Lauterer has seen the problems in out current educational system firsthand. "One in every five congressmen are millionaires, including our very own," says Lauterer. "Charles Taylor is also the biggest land owner in our phat Scott Did ThiS Peek: vanBuiun Repair Really BllCkS A feature column by Scott "Scoop" Francis "Your first angry letter!" Blake smiles at me. Two days later, my answering machine says: "Hey Scott, this is Earle. I'm up here at the paper and you have yet another letter about Electro-lux." In the September 22 edition of the Western Carolinian I wrote an article about a band I saw at Bailey's. This band was named Electro-lux. Before the band played, I asked some of Bailey's patrons if they had heard of the band. They seemed to be under the impression that they were there to see a local band, but the band that played was from Charlotte ... or somewhere near there. When I wrote the article I referred to the local band, the one people thought they were there to see, as imposters. Because of my assumption that a band from a big city (like... oh, say Charlotte) might be more established than a band from Cullowhee, I apparently pissed off Electro-lux and one of their fans. The truth is that Electro-lux has been around for quite a while. A letter from the band's drummer, Neil Stephens, stated that they were formed in the Spring 1989 by Mike Cook and David Lamanno. According to Mr. Stephens: "Electro-lux is a three-piece, down and dirty rock 'n' roll roots band." In addition to their originals, they play some Elvis tunes, and covers by the Velvet Underground and the Cramps (Hey! You must be the guys the bouncer spoke of. See WC Sept. 22) A letter I recieved from their fan, Juanita, says that "fans of the REAL Electro-lux are accustomed to vacum cleaner worship, polyester and velvet combos, fine original tunes and wacky rockabilly covers, great Halloween parties, and a sense of humor about their music." Sense of humor? You should read the letter I got from them. Well, I hope that I have rectified the situation I caused by wrongfully informing the public that the Electro-lux of what they call the "Cullowhee music scene" are imposters, and the band from Charlotte is the "real" Electro-lux. I don't know who came first. I don't care, but I do hope that this has pacified the "real" Electro-lux. I'm not sure if the campus based Electro-lux has copyrighted the name. If not, I would advise you to do so before the real-imposters beat you to it. If they already have, I would like to extend a peace offering by suggesting a couple of new names you could use... just in case. How about Dirt Devil, or the Hoovers perhaps? district." Lauterer is also outraged by many of the bills that Taylor has voted against, such as the Family Leave Act, the Education B ill, the Brady act, and many environmental bills. "Charles Taylor just votes however his majority leaders tell him how to." says Lauterer. "We do not need that, we need good, honest representation for a change." After concluding her speech and answering all questions, Lauterer proceeded to the lobby of Stillwell with a CNN-TV crew capturing her every move. The cameras attracted many students who wanted to meet the candidate and ask her questions about her issue stances. Most student were suprised to hear that Lauterer pro-choice. There was a table with registration forms, flyers with her education views, and a good amount of bumper stickers. Many students were impressed that a political candidate would visit a small college to hear what the people of WCU have to say. Because of this visit, many students who wouldn't have registered otherwise recieved the opportunity to fill out a voter's registration form.
