Changing Constitution not justified

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.

did not arise until Democrat President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt's four terms of 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,

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.
It took a major national incident, the cocaine-induced
death of Maryland basketball player Len Bias for him to

He then turned around and took money away from drug
rehabilitation programs. 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

Another issue is President Reagan's age. He is 75 years
% old. 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.

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

and the future of the drinking age, saying they would see
improvements in these areas if they voted wisely.
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.

Courses such as comparative literature,
philosophy, anatomy, accounting, etc., are
fine, but how will they help students who
haven't mastered the vital skills of surviving
the college experience? Students who want to
retain their sanity while living on campus
should demand that the following survival
courses be added to the present curriculum:
Advanced Campus Parking 229
A required course for all students who get
10 parking tickets or more during their first
semester with a car. No field work will be required
because of the limited number of park
ing spaces on campus.
Psychology 99
Topic: Getting along with a new roommate.
Instructors pair two basically happy
students together in a 14 by 9 foot cubicle.
The students who remain sane will receive a B
in the course and those who are still smiling
after 18 weeks get As.
Studying 101
Defines studying for those who have never
heard the word or serves as a refresher course
for those who have simply forgotten what it
means. Includes other definitions such as
books, classes and professors.
Time Management
This course stresses the concept of overcoming
the basic human needs for food and
sleep. Designed especially for students who
want to work, study and party.
