Can we believe we're hearing the truth when a presidential candidate addresses the public? The answer is a resounding no. Considering all of the poorly planned and low down stunts President Bush has pulled while in office, the courageous stunt I pulled off last week was well needed and planned. I con vinced the second shift janitor at Michigan State University to let me handle his duties on the night of the last presidential debate. I told him I was an inspector from the public health department who needed to work undercover for a night to investigate complaints of health code violations. He fell for it. My plan was working. Now all I had to do was whisk through the janitor's chores for the evening, saving the bathrooms for last. At 9:33 p.m, President Bush, Ross Perot and Bill Clinton enter a bathroom labeled VIP. They had just finished partici pating in a heated debate, aired live on national television and spent 30 minutes answering questions from the media. Bush promised no taxes, Perot promised not to spend the taxpayers money on fringe benefits and Clinton promised to rescue the economy. Well, I'm here to tell you that's not what I heard as I cleaned up the VIP rest room. The candidates conversed so freely around me, it reminded me of how the slaves must have felt when their master talked about sleeping with their wives. If it weren't for the janitorial uniform, the conversation might Open- minded education One would think that he what writing is all about and have been different.
