Duke focuses on issues As the 1988 presidential campaign began to reach a fever pitch, Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis made a late August cam- paign stop in Lebanon,Tn. Dukakis ' speech focused on the issues in which he feels the Republican party has not been dealing with effectively. In his speech, Dukakis states My friends, this election isn ' t about meaningless labels and it is not about fancy economic theories, it ' s about jobs and schools and health care and a clean environment in which we all can live. Dukakis also didn ' t pass up the opportu- nity to take jabbs at George Bush ' s running mate, Dan Quayle from Indiana. Quayle ' s service in the National Guard during the Vietnam War was largely questioned by the press. Dukakis states of his running mate, I ' m glad no one has questioned the qualifi- cations of Llyod Bentsen . □ staff Wayne Cartwright Wayne Cartwright Dukakis emphasizes a point to an estimated crowd of 1,300 people that gathered to hear him speak.

Records fall, registration tops 12,400 Closed classes and schedule changes were commonplace as a record 12,400 students registered for fall classes. We expected an increase, but not this much of an increase, said Cliff Gillespie, Dean of Administration and Records. Students were met with long lines and a sea of red denoting closed classes in the card bank which created tension and stress for some students. It was a nightmare, said senior Kelly Marlin. I spent half of an hour in the card bank getting cards and taking cards back trying to get my schedule to work out. On Thursday alone, 5,879 students regis- tered which was an average of twelve per minute. □ by Ken Salter Sometimes two heads are better than one. Several students try to work out their schedules during the hectic second day of fall registration. Classes filled up fast as over 12,000 students registered during the first two days of registration. A student looks over the class listings to see if any of his choices are full.
