18—The Daily Collegian Thursday, Jan. 30, 1986 Wachob -- Continued from Page 1 Clinger, R-Pa., and came within 6,000 votes of defeating him for the 23rd district's congressional seat. Accord ing to Wachob, this campaign will differ from the last in that he will win Wachob said the closeness of the last election led him to believe he could win the seat. But this time Wachob will have the support of the national party. The Democratic Con gressional Committee for an Effec tive Congress has called it the "top challenge race in the nation." "In some ways in 1986, in State College, Pennsylvania, these are the best of times. We are a nation at peace," Wachob said. "But in so many ways for all of us here, it is indeed the worst of times. Our gov ernment tells us that there are 4,700 of our people who desperately want to work, but cannot find a job." In a speech . before about 200 people who paid $25 for a fundraising dinner, Wachob told his supporters that some who sit in Congress have forgotten their constituents. "The special inter ests are now their masters. We tax payers, to them, represent a mere annoyance that must be faced only at election time." John Shemick, Democratic party precinct chairman, called Wachob "a bright young man." Shemick, attend ing a private reception in Parliament Square outside the Sheraton's ban quet room, said Clinger is not usually available to talk with his constitu ents. Members of the Penn State College Democrats turned out in full force to support Wachob, who received a bachelor's degree in political science from Edinboro University and a mas ter's degree in governmental admin istration from the University of Pennsylvania. Bill Patton (senior-political sci ence), who worked on Wachob's last campaign, said Clinger is a good man in Congress for Reagan, but "what's good for Reagan is not good for the 23rd district." "I don't think the race will be as close as last time," he said. "Clinger is on the run now. Everyone knows Wachob's name . . . we'll win by a bigger margin."

Clinger for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Sweet: We By MEGAN O'MATZ Collegian Staff Writer State Rep. David Sweet, a Washington Coun ty Democrat, is expected to announce his candidacy for lieutenant governor this morning in the state's Capitol Rotunda. "I've learned a lot in the House, accom plished much, and feel it's a good jump and a logical one," Sweet said of his bid for lieutenant governor during an interview yesterday. "If I went into the position of lieutenant governor there would.be some benefit certainly from the 10 years of legislative experience I have." Sweet said the state must elect people who understand the challenges ahead. "We've got a difficult set of economic cir cumstances in Pennsylvania," he said. "An awful lot of young people are being forced to leave Pennsylvania because there are no eco Co•Aegiao isoveiitves need an active lieutenant governor nomic opportunities available." Sweet will face Dauphin County Commission er Larry Hochendoner and state Sen. Mark Singel in the Democratic primaries in May. Also during these primaries, former state Auditor General Robert P. Casey, former Phil adelphia District Attorney Ed Rendell and Hollidaysburg developer Jules Patt are ex pected to run for governor. Sometimes it is difficult to elect a lieutenant governor because much attention is given to the gubernatorial, senator and state congres sional races. "The lieutenant governor risks getting lost in the shuffle, and it's harder to raise money for the campaign," he said. "Good loyal Demo crats need to focus on the lieutenant governor race and make sure we have an honest, credi ble candidate. If you don't it creates tremen dous problems for the fall election." .--wk\ , ).',. C _3. Sweet said the lack of focus in the 1978 primaries on the lieutenant governor's race, when there were 14 candidates, led to the victory of Robert P. Casey, a Pittsburgh high school teacher, whom voters mistook for the former auditor general of the same name. "We never really recovered from that," Sweet said. "From the first day we were apoligizing for this accident that happened in our primary. And for that political reason it's important to have a good candidate." Some say the lieutenant governorship is ineffective because its duties are limited. Eight states, including New York and New Jersey, do not have a lieutenant governor. Instead, the state Senate majority leader or an elected secretary of state fill in for a gubernatorial vacancy.

Sweet, who said the lieutenant governorship has not been used effectively by the governor in the past, would like to see its responsibilities expanded. "This administration, quite frankly, has cho sen not to give the lieutenant governor many assignments," he said. "I think Lt. Gov. Scran ton and the governor, when they were initially elected and through their entire term, re garded each other with a sort of respectful suspicion." If the Democrats win the gubernatorial elec tion, Sweet may have the duties he desires. The representative said all the Democratic candi dates for governor have expressed an interest in having an active lieutenant governor. FINAL CLEARANCE SALE.®.
