  • 10 Thursday, October 241996 Op-Ed ®ln> Uestem Carolinian The Real Choice in 96 TONY J. TAYLOR EXECUTIVE EDITOR It's not easy being the editor of a newspaper during an election year. Every Congressman, Senator and state legislator will send out countless pieces of propaganda to every paper they can find with the hopes of receiving favorable news coverage. Fortunately, most journalists recognize slanted PR when they see it, and those press releases never find their way to the news pages. The political coverage that does make it onto the news pages of respectable papers is balanced and thorough, which is why it's so frustrating listening to my fellow twenty-somethings bitch and moan about not having a "real choice" for president. According to the Jackson County Board of Elections, there were 18,768 registered voters in Jackson County during the 1992 elections. However, only 10,823 of those eligible to vote did so. A mediocre 57 percent. Those numbers are lower for young voters, since most of them are not registered. In North Carolina, for example, there are five candidates on the ballot for president. That list includes liberal third party candidates such as Libertarian candidate Harry Browne and Natural Law Party candidate John Hagelin. Despite the variety of choices we have for president, only two of the candidates have a chance of winning: Bob Dole and Bill Clinton. Most college students do not take the time to adequately inform themselves of the complicated world of politics. Instead they rely on commercials with soundbites from candidates sandwiched in between episodes of "Home Improvement" and "Roseanne." Those commercials showcase the negative aspects of both candidates, and all of the commercials are slanted. That causes most voters to feel alienated— and as a result, most of them decide not to vote. It's easy to blame television for low voter turnout. But it's not easy to explain why so many young Americans fail to take the necessary steps needed to make an informed, intelligent decision regarding the presidential election. I was talking to a friend the other the day and he said that he was considering not voting at all. When I asked why, he said: "I don't have a clue about what's going on, and I don't want to vote for the wrong guy." It was then 1 realized that he had unlocked the mystery of voter apathy among young people: We're too lazy to follow current events, so we refrain from making a decision to change them. During some past presidential elections that may have been necessary. However, in the '96 election campaign it is not. We have two diverse and competent candidates. One is a master politician and campaigner, the other is a tough legislator and experienced deal-maker. Both have very detailed agendas for our country, which are as diverse as the candidates themselves. Both candidates have came from modest backgrounds and fought numerous obstacles to get where they are today. Bob Dole is a WWII veteran who sustained a near-fatal injury and made it through law school, and has had a successful career in politics despite losing the use of one arm. Bill Clinton was raised by an alcoholic stepfather in rural Arkansas before going to Yale Law School and becoming a Rhodes Scholar. He had a remarkable career in state politics, and his first four years of office have been eventful, to say the least. Clinton and Dole are both tireless workers who have shown that they will work hard to implement their ideas. It's your responsibility to discover whether or not their ideas are compatible with yours. The only way to discover that is by reading good newspapers like the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Atlanta Journal. If all students spent one hour a day reading good political coverage in one of the aforementioned papers, they would be more confident when they cast their vote for president. The '96 election is only two weeks away. Get informed and choose, or stay uninformed and lose. The choice is yours. Wqz Wzsizxn (Earoltntan Tony J.

Box 66 Cullowhee, NC 28723 Keep our campus and our planet clean] Please recycle your Western Carolinian., Why Satanism Isn't Cool lAnymore) ARCH STANTON HEAD I guess I could've titled this "Why devil-worship isn't as cool as it was in the late '80s," but that might have turned readers off from an otherwise titillating subject. The fact is, yet another fad can be officially laid to rest. I'm not talking about the organized forms of Satanism (The Church of Satan, The Temple of Set, or the Sinister Sect of Set and Satan). I'm talking about that kid who sat behind you in your high-school biology class—the one who always wore the same Slayer shirt and constantly pounded out heavy metal drum rhythms on the back of your chair. I'm talking about the group of kids who stood up on the hill and smoked before first period, wearing menacing and cultlike jean jackets with Ozzy patches embroidered on them. I'm also talking about the slew of talk shows, tabloids, TV specials, PMRC crusades and pulp paperbacks that once infested this nation of ours. Geraldo once devoted a whole year of programming to one line from a Suicidal Tendencies song. There used to be a "Kid smokes first joint, Gets ab ducted by Satanists, Father comes to rescue" movie on ABC every month. And what happened to Tipper Gore, and for that matter, what happened to W.A.S.P.? Let's not leave out role- playing games (or, as the kids like to call them, RPGs), the insidious game marketed to teenagers, where they could play the roles of valiant knights slaying evil dragons and then go kill themselves because they were smart or bisexual or both. And speaking of suicide, what happened to all those suits? I mean, no one ever sued Robert Smith, and he's probably responsible for 45 percent of the teen suicides in the world (the other 55 percent goes to Morrisey). It was the heavy metal, spiked bracelet in your face rock-and-roll hipster that caught the imagination of America. It was Vince Neil dancing around in absurdly tight pants in front of a big pentagram. It was Michael Jackson turning into a werewolf. It was Madonna having sex before marriage. Maybe we were all so innocent then, and those things we attributed to the Horny Beast (and the worship thereof) was the product of a mass "New Coke" hallucination. But that can't account for the sudden disappearance of Devil stuff in the world. I mean, kids still go on crazy rampages, but they do it listening to Filter. Most of the RPGs today are in based in futuristic space worlds instead of demon- populated pre-Pope Earth. Geraldo has now devoted an entire year of programming to O.J. Simpson. Tabloids are more concerned with diets and prophecy than long-haired teens. The world has turned away from Anton LeVay and has tuned into Scully and Mulder. The biggest mystery, however, is Tipper Gore. She's still around, and she still presides over the PMRC, the mass mind-controlling agency that DARED to slap stickers on albums (thereby increasing their sales, ironically). As a matter of fact, one would assume that she would be using her political connection—that is, her husband VP Al Gore—to throw out more advisory stickers than a pro-lifer can shoot bullets. But her silence remains ominous, lurking, brooding... what could the reason be? Bill Clinton. Yes, folks, all the evidence is there, pointing towards the possibility that Bill Clinton is not only the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces, but of the Satanic Army as well! His liberal maneuverings are a well-construed plot to throw us all into the servitude of Satan. He is responsible for the current quietude of Devil Stuff. He is luring America into a feeling of comfort so that he can shear and slaughter us like sheep! So there you go, folks. Let this be a lesson to you: Devil- worship isn't cool. It's a plot of the Government to get you to buy more head-cleaning tapes. If you believe in human freedom and the right not to have your pets slaughtered by the neighborhood kids, vote Bob Dole in '96!
