Joel Waller a A battle fo ouisiana voters will L have a tough decision to make this fall when going to the polls to choose the Bayou State’s next governor. Will the majority cast their votes for the grey-haired, sil- ver-tongued Cajun charmer, (alias former governor Edwin Edwards); or will the more conservative pick incumbent Dave Treen, a staunch Re- publican whose only fault, Baton Rouge reporters claim, is “being too honest for the job.” Both candidates have made several visits to the Monroe area. Governor Treen visited the Northeast campus shortly before his election in 1979 and was a commencement speaker for a 1981 graduation ceremony. He more recently traveled to Monroe to inspect flood damage and later met with President Reagan on his surprise visit to the Twin- Cities in early January. Edwards, a two-term gover- nor between 1971-1979, spoke Joel Waller The former governor created a media buzz when he suggested he and Treen run a no-cost campaign — no adver- tising, no fundraisers and no name calling. on campus last fall at the invi- tation of the Young Demo- crats. The former governor cre- ated a media buzz when he suggested he and Treen run a no-cost campaign — no ad- vertising, no fundraisers and no name calling. The only publicity would come from public speeches and debates. The plan was not taken se- riously to begin with, and as such, Treen declined the of- fer. Former governor Edwin Edwards (left), spoke on campus last fall to urge students to get involved in the campaign. Governor Dave Treen spoke to area teachers of the im- provements he will make if re-elect- ed. He and Edwards spoke at an edu- cator’s conference in Monroe in Feb- ruary. Paul Stillings r the governor’s race Issues in the gubernatorial campaign focused on the state budget and past business dealings of Edwards’. When Treen took office in 1980, the budget had a sur- plus according to Edwards. By early 1983 the state was run- ning in the red. - Edwards’ past involvement in deferred Compensation Corp. of Louisiana, a com- pany under investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office, was another major issue in the campaign. While Edwards maintained there was nothing illegal about his involvement with the company, voters nevertheless watched devel- opments in the case with in- terest. Polls taken in early Febru- ary indicated Edwards was ahead by 20 points in the race. Can Edwards keep his cam- paign going on the upswing? Will Treen turn the race around and pull ahead? Come November, we'll all know the answers. -by Sharon Harper Voting 25
