UNIVERSHY ARCHIVES AND RECORDS CENTEREAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITYJ. Y. JOYNER LIBRARYGREENVILLE, N. C. 27834EBONY HERALDoctober 1984 The Minority Publication of East Carolina University~THE34Page 1Hunt vs. Helms: The Great DebateBy PATTI HINERStaff Writer .U.S. Senator Jesse A.Helms and Gov. Jim HuntJr. are in a tete"a"tete -head"to"head _confron-tation on political issues.As important as thepresidential. election andjust as fiercely competitve isthe election for senator ofNorth Carolina. There areprobably very few peoplewho donTt know about thecompetition between can-didates Helms and Hunt.Therefore, in this national*election year where onemost enthusiastically hearsthe universalmessage--~~Register to voteand get involvedTT--people~ need to be informed so thatthey may make an in-telligent choice. Finallycitizens are -beginning torealize that their vote doescount.Surprisingly, despite both- candidatesT questionablecampaign tactics andstaunch opposition, Huntand Helms do agree on~some common goals. Ac-~cording 4o Sunday October7 article in the News andObserver these include: thereduction of the federal.deficit, opposition to tax in-creases, and the construc-tion of a strong defense.Yet they differ on issues likespace-based missile defensesystems and federal aid toeducation.Concerning the federaldeficit in the News and.Observer article whereHunt was interviewed headvises that cuts should be .drastic and immediate. ~~Inmy first year in Senate, ITmprepared to cut spending bysome $40 billion to $50billion, and to vote for taxreforms.TT Some of his pro-Senator Jesse Helms and Governor Hunt are involved in themuddiest Senate race in the history of the United States. Whowill emerge the victor and reputation intactposed cuts would includereductions in the Medicareand Medicaid budget, in thecost of mismanaged farmprojects, in the waste andoverruns of defense con-tracts, and the Synfuelsprograms. In the area of-tax reforms Hunt proposesrepealing CongressTrollback of the windfallprofits tax, which involvestaking away the loopholefrom oil companies andrepealing oil and gas deple-tion allowances.Since Helms refused to beinterviewed by the Newsand Observer his views arederived from second"handsources. A 10 percent cutfrom the budget of federalagencies except the military,Social Security, andMedicare, was proposed byHelms earlier this year. Ac--cording tocampaignliterature Helms does favora balanced budget andreduced federal spending.He voted Yes to ReaganTs25 percent tax :cut and toReaganTs budgets cuts, butNo to $217 billion tax in-crease.Dealing with the questionof racial discrimination.The News and Observer wasunable to account HelmTsviews. Yet in reference tohis opposition to a MartinLuther King Jr. nationalholiday Helms stated that itwas not raciallymotivated. Additionally,he has expressed his sur-prise that. many black peo-ple have told him,*~Senator, you are exactlyright on this thing.TTTo diminish the effects. ~ofracial discrimination Huntbelieves that public leadersmust appeal to the best inall races, and secondly thatefforts for equal employ-ment and economic oppor-tunities for minorities mustbe emphasized. The basicelements necessary to insureopportunities are a goodbeginning in life, adequatenutrition, health care, andeducation. Fair employ-ment and training forpotentially talented peoplein high management fieldsmust be established. Huntadditionally emphasizessupport and encouragementof black and Indian enter-prises.According to campaignliterature Hunt supports theVoting Rights Act and anindependent Civil Rights ~Amendment.Furthermore,he intends to continue sup-porting the proposal for theratification of the EqualRights Amendment andequal pay .for women.Hunt apointed the firstblack Supreme CourtJustice in North Carolinaand the stateTs first blackCabinet Secretary. Hisrecord states that he hashired more blacks than allof North CarolinaTs formergovernors combined.On the issue of federalaid to education Helms saidin the Sept. 9 debate withHunt that the federalgovernment shouldnTt beinvolved in the educationsystem, and he attributedthe decline of schools topeople who ask for govern-ment funding without con-sidering the controls .whichaccompany it. ~~I havevoted against funding for.various federal educationprograms...those bills Ivoted against also allowedthe federal government toexpand its control over ourlocal school system...thequicker we get the federalbureaucracy out of educa-tion the better chance wehave of increasing the quali- ©ty of education.TT Helmsfavors a return to fun-damental American_ valuesand a return of voluntaryprayer to the publicschools.Senator Jesse HelmsConversely, Hunt sup-_ ports the present level offederal aid in education.Additionally, he continuesto favor a new intiative forimprovement in math-science education withspecial funds for teachers inthis field. Further in-vestments in public schools -will be possible, says Hunt,when the deficit is lowered.He sees the development ofAmericaTs schools as beingvital in worldwide economiccompetitiveness. ~~Other-wise, weTre going to con-tinue to see AmericanT jobsexported to foreign coun-tries.�TIn. reference to. HuntTscampaign literature he willsupport federal educationprograms like Head Start,vocational education andcollege loans to deserving_ students.It can be eonfasay foracitizen to wade through thecampaign defense tacticsand arrive at the true stance«of each candidate on these~important issues.

Key CongressionalPanelsOctober 1984Page 3Lose Their BestCostbusters: Departures Are Not Going To Be PositiveWASHINGTON, D.C.(CPS)--College programsmay be more vulnerablethan ever to budget cuts inthe next year because |several key congressmenwill be missing from House~education committees,sources say.T The missing congressmenall played important roles instaving off many of Presi-dent ReaganTs proposedStudent aid cuts in the lastthree years.They are leaving theircommittees, moreover, asCongress considers theHigher EducationReauthorization Act of1985, a cruciallysimportantlaw that will set federal col-lege policy for the rest ofthis decade.Missing will be Rep. CarlPerkins (D-Ky), chairman |of the House Education-Labor Committee, who~died this summer; andT Rep.Paul Simon (D-I1), chair of:the House Subcommitteeon Postsecondary Educa-tion, who is running for theSenate against Charles Per-cy.Two other House educa-tion committee membersare retiring this year. 7oPerkins was probablythe person most responsiblefor holding the line againstbudget cuts Reagan hasproposed since 1980,TT saysDallas Martin, head of theNational Association ofStudent Finanacial Aid Ad-ministrators.~*It was clearly his strongleadership on that commit-tee that refused to go alongwith some of the (cuts).
