Liberal, conservative
clash in annual debate
_ by Lea Gotch
Collegian Staff Writer
It was liberal against
conservative Saturday night
during the second installment of
Behrend's 1989 speaker series
A debate featuring William
Rusher and Morton Kondracke
was held Saturday evening in
Erie Hall as part of the school's
annual Parents Weekend.
Their debate, entitled "The
Bush Report Card," was presented
to a near-capacity crowd.
Kondracke, who calls
himself a cold-war liberal, is
currently the senior editor of The
New Republic and appears
frequently as a panelist on "The
McLaughlin Group," "This Week
with David Brinkley," and
"Point-Counterpoint."
Rusher, a conservative
Republican, has been the
publisher of National Review
since 1957. Presently, he writes
a column syndicated in over 200
newspapers worldwide and has
New office space: A new temporary office
building, located west of the Hammermill
Building, will provide office space for 10 faculty
members, most of them members of the Division
of Science Engineerinrand. Technology. - -
Spoken professionally across the
nation.
Kondracke, who won a coin
toss to see who would open the
debate, began with a 15 minute
discussion in which he talked
about the recent coup in Panama,
before moving on to his views
on Michael Dukakis and Ronald
Reagan.
Kondracke brought home
his liberal viewpoint with an
example to which his audience
could relate.
"If it were up to the
conservatives, most people in
this room would not be having a
college education," he said.
- He continued_by saying that
President Bush has been
neglecting the fundamental
problems of debt, the underclass,
and education.
Rusher began his
introductory speech by
suggesting Bush is a cautious,
rarely original president with a
relaxed touch.

over the weekend.

and underage drinking charges
were filed Friday against the
driver of a vehicle stopped in the

Underage drinking charges
were also filed against a
passenger in the vehicle. Records
indicate both the driver and the
passenger were Behrend students.
Numerous charges, including
driving under the influence,
underage drinking and resisting
arrest, were filed against the
younger brother of a student on
Sunday. The arrest was made by
Sanders after the driver was seen
leaving the Dobbins parking lot
at night without headlights.
The suspect attempted to
leave the scene on foot following
his arrest. After a brief scuffle,

learned that the suspect had
presented false identification.
A student seen entering an
unlicensed vehicle on campus
Suday was arrested for underage
drinking. Department files
indicate the vehicle's owner is a
part-time Behrend student. He
was ordered to have the vehicle
removed from campus.

Saturday. The suspects were
stopped after they drove their
vehicle into a restricted area.

A second case of reported theft
was closed when it was

that money was removed from a
vending machine in the Reed
Building. Further investigation
showed the machine had been
inadvertently left unlocked by the
vending company's service
person, and no money was
missing.
