May 1, 1994 — LION’'SEYE — J Sift 5 cid ? Opinion LY Review ‘It's the Trust Thing, Stupid!’ By John Tunstall You can call Bill a lying, pot smoking, draft-dodging adulterer, but please under any circumstance, call this ex-Yippie a “sellout”. All the issues that have been raised due to our first baby-boomers, like marijuana and things that go bump in the night, are just kids' games compared to most recent allegations. Now we're down to the serious issue. Everyone loves to talk about other people's money. Money-makin' and money-shakin', when Bill and Hillary talk money people listen. First there was Whitewater where Bill swears he lost money but had to pay a capital gains tax. Go figure. Then Hillary, the proclaimed “best female lawyer in the land”, just may have made a few mistakes in handling the property and claims. An honest mistake. Later we find that Hillary turned a $1,000 stake into $100,000 of pure bull in the commodities market. It is so much fun when a closet socialist is exposed as a closet capitalist. The Sixties generation was anti- everything, and one of its most important stances was anti- "Our President is a liar and a lousy one at that.” materialism. But who really cares how anybody acts or talks when they are 19 and 20? What is so irritating is how Clinton to this day is so critical of the Reagan years and the money-grubbing ‘80’s. Mr. and Mrs. “Let's change the World” trashed others when they lined their own greedy pockets. Hypocrisy has a funny way of destroying credibility. Wanting to make money and lots of it is quite admirable and very motivating. To expect Hillary Clinton to be saint in her financial dealings would smack of the double standard of male/female roles. But shouldn't those who claim their goal is to change the world live up to a higher standard? Or can you cut corners on that also? Money will always be a sensitive subject of the Sixties generation. Wearing a tie-dye tee shirt in the place of a business suite, like Ben and Jerry in Vermont, does not make one socially conscience or politically correct. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting or being lucky enough to make make money. But to continually trash and berate those who do want to make money, while you greedily practice in those same terms, is. The do-good couple will continue to remind you of the great financial sacrifices they had to bear for the cause of public service. Seek your icons of virtue elsewhere; the Clintons are no different then the rest of us. This is about character and ideals that really mean something to each of us. The fact that President Clinton smoked a joint in college is irrelevant to his ability to administrate a government today. The reality is that the Clinton's abuse their power by continually abusing our trust. Our President is a liar and a lousy one at that.

Photo by: WES TOMLINSON A Not-So-Modest Proposal By Martyna Sliwinska Oh yes, the summer definitely has its drawbacks. The lack of snow for one. Now the notorious editor of The Lion's Eye cannot offend quite as many people complaining about the snow and the campus maintenance staff. Consequently, I would like to speak out on the issue of snow. Now that it is gone, my life has lost its meaning. I just cannot seem to function properly as a part of the campus without being crude, ill-informed, and offensive. So, how about them air-conditioning units in the classrooms? No, better yet, how about the sun itself? There must be something the maintenance staff could do to stop it from shining so bright. And the heat sure gets to us, too. I mean, we are paying to go to college, we should be guaranteed a sweat-proof, excessive sunshine-proof, worry-free environment to study in. So maybe next time the maintenance guys are just putting around, maybe they could make an effort and make us comfortable the way we should be. Amazingly, The Lion's Eye has acquired a bad reputation for printing an editorial as bluntly inconsiderate as "A Modest Proposal” (March issue). I want to apologize for all the feelings hurt but not for one word written. The editorial wasn't meant to offend anyone and that it got blown out of proportion by some was not the fault of The Lions Eye. In case someone forgot, we are a newspaper - we report the news, we don't make news happen. In conclusion: I have had fun being the target of more or less creative threats and comments. Iam in no way, shape, or from discouraged from doing my job, from being a reporter. Asa matter of fact, all the commotion has sent me to a reporter's heaven - it showed me that people do, in fact, read our articles. For that I thank you. I also promise that I will always abide to one advice given to me by a slightly enfuriated member of the staff; I will always keep my sense of humor!
