Ohio State could host '92 presidential debate By KEVIN NAFF Collegian Staff Writer The 1992 U.S. presidential candidates may square off at a Big Ten school, due to a proposal from student government officials here. Undergraduate Student Government President Mark Stewart, at a Big Ten meeting in July, suggested one of the schools host a presidential debate next year. While Penn State is no longer under consideration, two other schools may benefit from Stewart’s work. Both lowa and Ohio State submitted applications to the Federal Commission on Presidential Debat es. Ohio probably stands the best chance of being selected, Stewart said. Penn State did not apply to the commission for several reasons, including insufficient hotel space, lack of a major airport, and inadequate convention space, Stewart said. The commission needs at least 2,500 hotel rooms, while State College has about 1,700, he added. With a $500,000 price tag, cost also blocked Penn State’s efforts to apply. Though the University is out of consideration, Stewart is still helping the cause by seeking corporate funding for the event. “I’m really excited about it, I think both the lowa and Ohio schools have a good chance,” Stewart said, adding that he is somewhat disappointed at Penn State’s loss. Stewart sent letters to more than 40 large com panies seeking donations and has so far received eight rejections.

The commis sion should announce its decision in early October. Ohio officials are hopeful of their selection. “I think Columbus stands a chance,” said Greg Brown, a manager in the Ohio State public relations office. “The debate fits well within our educational mis sion.” The city and university are strongly behind the Columbus effort, Brown said. No public funds will be used to cover costs, so city groups are seeking donations, he added. “We are representing the Big Ten; without (stu dent) support the debate wouldn’t happen,” Brown said. Officials at lowa State could not be reached for comment yesterday. Ohio State stands a better chance than Penn State because of its location in downtown Columbus and access to transportation, Brown added. Kern outside entrance Pattee underpass .

But Thomas himself crit icized one of the ads, which blasts the ethics of three liberal senators. “I deplore such viciousness and condemn such advertising in the strongest terms,” Thomas said yesterday in a statement released by staff members for Sen. John Danforth, R-Mo. The ads are highly critical of Democratic Sens. Edward Kenne dy of Massachusetts, Alan Cranston of California and Joseph Biden of Delaware. White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater called the personal attacks “reprehensible,” adding that nei ther Bush nor his aides had any thing to do with the ad. “The White House disassociates itself from any advertising cam paign related to the nomination of Judge Clarence Thomas that per sonally attacks members of the U.S. Senate,” Fitzwater said in a statement, “This is a shot across the bow,” L.

It was sponsored by Bozell’s Conservative Victory Committee and another group, Citizens United. “We wanted to put the liberal leadership on notice, a straight forward message to the left,” Bozell said. That message: Conservatives are ready to play as rough as the liberals who four years ago helped sink the Supreme Court nomi nation of Robert H. Bork. Senate confirmation hearings for Thomas, a black federal judge nominated by President Bush to replace retiring Justice Thurgood Marshall, are to begin next week. To date, no anti-Thomas advertise ments have appeared. The 60-second ad asks how many of the “liberal Democrats” expected to oppose Thomas “could them selves pass ethical scrutiny.” The ad says Kennedy was sus pended from Harvard for cheating and that he left the scene of a 1969 car accident at Chappaquiddick, Mass., where Mary Jo Kopechne died. The ad shows a headline that reads “Ted’s Sex Romp” as the narrator adds, “And this year, Palm Beach,” referring to rape charges filed against Kenne dy’s nephew, William Kennedy Smith. The ad says Biden was “found guilty Graduation Date The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Sept. 4, 1991 — of plagiarism during his presi dential campaign.” And about Cranston, it says: “Implicated in the Keating Five S&L scandal.” Thomas said in his statement that he had been treated fairly by the Senate and by Biden, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. “It is my hope that private groups with an interest in my nomination would conduct themselves with a proper respect for the important role and responsibilities of the Senate, with respect for senators, and in a way that brings credit on this nation’s processes of constitutional gov ernment,” Thomas said. Danforth described yesterday’s ad as “the worst kind of sleazy advertising.” Meanwhile, a $300,000 national ad campaign will be launched Friday by the conservative Citizens Com mittee to Confirm Clarence Thom- Most of the money will be spent for a 30-second ad that praises Thomas and labels his opponents as “the liberal special interests and the soft-on-crime crowd.” “I didn’t see any reason to attack senators by name,” said Citizens Committee chairman Gary L. Bauer, who worked at the White House when in 1987 liberal groups mounted an effective ad campaign against Bork’s nomination.
