The BANNER Final '88 Edition Volume XXXII California Baptist College April 29, 1988 Jackson, a candidate to consider by Mike 0 (CPS)~ Sueyuna Dorosey isn't just working on a presidential campaign. She's on a mission. Her candidate, Jesse Jackson, isn't just a candidate, either, He is a "milestone," said the University of Colorado senior. "This is history." So it is for an impressive cross section of students, who ascribe to Jackson all sorts of historical and even "healing" attributes infrequently discussed in mainsteam American politics.

The band is directed by William Chunestudy, Assistant Professor of Music, and will play light favorites. "It's AWESOME," shouts Univer- sitey of Pennsylvania supporter Tra- ci Miller in a phone interview. "AND I'M PART OF IT!" While other Democratic candidates- particularly fallen frontrunner Gary Hart and now, at a lower decibel level Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis-have attracted essential cores of student support, Jackson seems to have evoked a passion on campuses unseen among liberals since the 1968 campaigns of Robert Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy. Like McCarthy, whose followers agreed to "Clean for Gene" by cutting their hair to be more effective politically among older voters, Jackson's campaign has prompted students to exchange their jeans for suits. One supporter calls it getting "Unmessy for Jesse." Some campaign officials claim "thousands" of students are now working on the campaign. "This," explained recent University of Massachusetts grad Caroline Murray, who now works on Jackson's national staff, "may be the only chance I get to work for a candidate I believe in." "Jackson is saying a lot of things that students can relate to," said Rachel Cohen, the editor of the University of Wisconsin Daily Cardinal. "All the other candidates seem to be wishy-washy," added Wisconsin freshman Mary Cook. "He's talking about things that matter. He got right down to the nitty gritty." Cook, for one, became a supporter after hearing Jackson speak. "He really sold me. I'm going to work for the guy." Much of Jackson's campus support, however, seems to come not from newcomers like Cook, but "veterans" long active in liberal causes like the South Africa divestiture movment, efforts to ban Central Intelligence Agency recruiting on campuses and oppsition to the Reagan administrations's Central American policies. "Jackson's been there," said Mur- ry. "He's been working on these issues all his life." "What Jesse is doing is giving all the campus 'antis'- the anti-Reagan crow, the anti-CIA crowd, the anti- involvement in Central America crowd- something to be for," said Stuart Levitan, who represented student district on the Dane County (Wisconsin) board for 3 terms. The Jackson volunteers, however, maintain the candidate's campus support has broadened beyond college leftists. "Students are aware of the bad economy of unemployment," Colorado grad student Larry Johnson asserted. "These students are concerned about jobs and about their future. These peopjejire working, on degrees they want to use in the economy. They're not activists." And although Johnson admits it's often easier to get students excited about contra aid than financial aid, Jackson's student aid promise-he, like Dukakis and apparent Republican nominee George Bush, had adopted the American Council on Education's call to decrease students' dependence on loans by funding more grants-has attracted support. "When (students) graduate with loans," said Johnson, "they realize thev won't be able to buy the big ticket items, like a house, that's part of the American Dream." Students, Cohen added, also are engaged by Jackson's preachings to return to old-fashioned values that even conservatives like North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms embrace. "He's not just talking about the budget or the economy," said Cohen. "He's talking about drugs and the family and things that really matter to students." But something more than students' agreeing with issues-Jackson's positions on them are not all that different from his opponents'-seems to be fueling the students' passion. For instance, many campus supporters credit Jackson for helping black students' leadership on issues like campus racism, Miller reported, and black students are more willing to step forward to lead, "It's a wonderful thing," she said. see Jackson, page 4 Currently in his fourth year here at Cal Baptist, Dr. Russell R. Tuck, seated at his conference table in his newly redecorated office, reflects over the accomplishments of the past year and considers the tasks set before him for the coming year. Among his major accomplishments this year have been the establishment of the 30 Year Plan, the initiation of several major fund- raising campaigns (all of which, to date, have reached or exceeded their goals), the reinstatement of the Communication Arts Major, and the inception of a Men's Junior Varstiy Lancer Basketball Team. A man "inclined towards action as opposed to inaction," Tuck's short term goals for the coming year are headed by the launching of an English as a Second Language Institute on campus.
