FALL LECTURE SERIES 7 'lQ HALEY BARBOUR DAVID BOWEN fPicturedJ October 23, 1984 The format for the October 23 forum involved a debate of sorts between David Bowen and Ha- ley Barbour. Arguing the Democrat's view was David Bowen. Bowen was elected in 1972 to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served five consecutive terms. He is now co-chairman of the Mississippi branch of the Mondale-Ferraro campaign. Republican Haley Barbour is an attorney in Yazoo City, Mississip- pi. ln 1982, he ran unsuccessful- ly for the U.S. Senate. Barbour was also a delegate to the 1984 Republican Convention in Dallas. Both men addressed the issues which are prevalent in this 1984 presidential campaign. Bowen pointed out the need to cut governmental spending and balance the budget. He also brought up the issue of Social Se- curity cuts and environmental protection when speaking about Reagan's policies. Barbour countered by remarking that today's economy is in the best shape it has been since the advent of Reaganomics. Barbour also indicated that the problems Reagan has had to deal with were caused by the Democrats who preceded him. Both men were given equal time to speak and respond to the audi- ence's questions.

There was no filing system in the state auditor's office, and he found Mississippi way behind in its audits. As state auditor, he plans to bring the audits up to date. He has already recovered 35400000 in state money that was misspent, stolen, or other- wise misappropriated. Also as state auditor, Mabus has pushed for state educational re- form. Through his efforts, kinder- gartens and compulsory educa- tion were instituted, an unprecedented step to upgrade Mississippi education. Mabus claims that the hardest opposi- tion in Mississippi to reform was well organized apathy. Known for his straightforward determination, Mabus quoted the motto he has modeled his work after, Make sure you are right, then go ahead. Kelsey Green my - XQ7, 11: - -I . I l 9? wg..

Michael Manley is the former prime minister of Jamai- ca and a member of the Peoples National Party. He is presently the leader of the opposition party to the government in Jamaica. Manley commented that the pre- sent nature ofthe Third World is a result of modern imperialism. The modern imperialists bring under control large areas of land and then use it to produce a product that their country does not use. This type of imperialism brought about the development of the plantation system. The planta- tion system was inefficient, and it bred an elite class who used the natives as slaves. Also, the plan- tation system did not encourage a capitalistic spirit. This created a special problem when coun- tries became independent, as they realized that political stabil- ity did not mean economic stabil- ity. Manley concluded that the future of Central America is deter- mined by future U,S. policy. He questioned whether or not Cen- tral American nations could de- velop a policy that could hold up under the present US. economic dominance, Kelsey Green 4, U, ISSACHAR KATZIR November 13, 1985 lssachar Katzir, new Consul Gen- eral of lsrael for the Southeast- ern U.S., addressed the relation- ship between the two sister countries of democracy, stat- ing, 'fEighty percent of the coun- tries in the United Nations are dictatorships. Only 20 percent is left for the democracies, lt is a battle, if you will, between qual- ity and quantity. Katzir defined two reasons for the peaceful relations between lsrael and the United States, He cited first the moral aspect of the Jewish-Christian heritage, which provides a respect for the dignity of the human race. Second, there was the practical aspect, which focuses on the military-strategic point of view, After the tragedy of the Holo- caust, which claimed over six mil- lion Jewish lives, lsrael invited survivors to her shores. These survivors are primarily responsi- ble for the existence of the strong Israeli nation today. As long as you educate chil- dren, you will have respect for human life. he said. Our desire for peace may be translated as weakness by outsiders. but we will overcome this problem. We can manage, given time. Peggy Kissinger Universityl:orum 21 'D' C 3 il.
