Changing Constitution not justified for extra term for President Reagan A ? ? it I ~ ^ hi me aesire ot some to extend President Reagan's term of office, the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution is being questioned by legislators in the nation's Capitol. George Washington set precedent for the two-term presidency when he refused to serve a third term in office.

Republicans at that time pushed for an amendment because they wanted the party representation to change. The decision was also a good guarantee that America would never have to deal with rulers with too much power, M..1 - i ? - n ^ i uicrs wno mignt get out ot nana and monopolize the country. The question being debated in the Capitol building is: Has Reagan been outstanding enough to change the constitution? But, the Republicans seem to be contradicting this now. Thev sav Concress will ratifv an amendment rf?np?lino 22nd Amendment, if it first passes in the states, as the Constition mandates. Well, he certainly has been outstanding, but not always in a good light.

He is ready to prevent drug use, but not help drug users recover from their addictions. The deficit under his administration is larger than it has been in 200 years. He has taken away a privilege from a select group in requiring states to raise the drinking age to 21 or lose highway funds. He attacked a nation in retaliation when he bombed T M * I - ?

Legislators should be considering if he would be physically able to serve and survive a third term. At the root of the issue is whether Amendments should be changed back and forth to favor or thwart the current president in power. If the party in power can manipulate the Constitution to achieve party goals, it might become a flimsy, easily bent document. | # Vote Candidates urge students to vote, Rxnrp.ss their nnininn tn nnuprnmpnt www ? > VJWIIIIVII ? V Wllllfll/lll It's campaign time again, and where better to debate the issues than where there is a large concentration of voters: the USC campus. Candidates for governor and lieutenant governor of South Carolina made use of these grounds for publicity ^ Sept. 22 when they talked to students on USC's McBryde ^ Quadrangle.

They discouraged student apathy toward voting, as demonstrated by five Pi Kappa Phi fraternity members who painted a sign: "Can't drink, why vote?" They said it is important for college students to vote because they have the most invested in the future of the state. It's nice to be thought of by candidates. it is encouraging that they are showing interest in students' concerns. Hopefully, students will show enough 9 interest in their own problems to vote. Campbell and Hartnett's use of this campus should indicate to students that their votes are important. The Gamecock agrees. No matter which candidates you support in the gubernatorial race, make the effort to get out and vote. i ? jp con &i ffsss sibv| i i Write us a letter Tell us what's on your mind.
