REPUBLICANS IN TK

While politics may not be
the biggest tiling on college
students' minds right
now, there are potential
consequences to the Republican
takeover that could affect
many, most importantly the
enforcement of cuts in education
costs on a national level, according
to South Carolina Honors
College Dean Peter Sederberg.
"The thing that will affect
students significantly are strict
and demanding cutbacks within
the social services in an effort
to balance the budget," Sederberg
said. "On the federal level,
the student loan program would
be vulnerable, and on the state
level, higher education would
be more vulnerable than sav K
12. The result would be higher
tuition and greater difficulty in
getting federal loans."
However, junior broadcasting
major Jason Puhlasky, a
member of College Republicans,
said "every government program
is on the table for cuts...defense.
education, welfare, the space
program, and will have to merit
standing up to par" when the
actual cuts are made.
"I don't think students will
be hurt as long as everything
currently being done is merited,"
Puhlasky said.
History doctoral candidate
David Brown said students will
be affected to some extent, "but
not as much as other people with
more urgent needs." He said he

believes it really doesn't matter
who is in charge, however, be
cause every party is eventually
after the same thing.
"I think it's the flip side of the
coin," Brown said. "Republicans,
democrats, liberals or conservatives,
all these people are working
within the same system and
want the system to continue."
Sederberg said one could be
optimistic and hope the state
and federal economies will grow
to offset the budget but doesn't
expect much change on the state
level in terms of overall policy.
"We've had a republican governor
for eight years and he always
worked well with the state
legislature," Sederberg said.
So why have the Republicans
been so successful of late? Brown
said it is an extension of Clin
tun ? l anyuig viy ? uiiuuge.
"Congress has been in the
control of the Democrats for 40
years, there's your change,"
Brown said.
At the state level, Puhlasky
said the reason stems from generations
of failure by the Democrats.
"Democrats have been in control
of the House and Senate and
governor's mansion since reconstruction,"
Puhlasky said.
"As a state we're ranked last in
education, illiteracy rate and
crime. Literacy rates in 1957 for
blacks were higher than now
and schools were still segregated.
A lot of older people fear a
moral breakdown, and many

"They've l \y J 7
been able to /WK
have bills put on 1mm
the table or voted on," Puhlasky
said. "The Republicans
haven't even been able to have
their policies voted on for 40
years. People were willing to
give them a shot for four decades.
Now we realize we have some
problems we didnt have 30 and
40 years ago."
"People are sick and tired of
the same old tradition of De
mocrats being in Congress," said
Caroline Massey, a junior art
education major. "They wanted
a change."
Puhlasky said he expects this
change to lead to the eventual
downfall of President Clinton in
1996.
"I think there will be some
kind of welfare reform, and the
White House may veto a lot of
things," Puhlasky said. "Clinton
will probably be looking for
a job in two years."
