Poshard said he will discuss his plan and the haggling going on in the nation’s Capital. “I do think our moderate Democrat proposal is a more responsible approach,” Poshard said from his office in Washington, D.C. “It does balance the budget and it does save the Medicare trust fund, but it doesn’t do them in a way that puts the bur- den of a tax break on the back of senior citizens and children and education.” The plan received support from The Washington Post and The New York Times. Poshard predict- ed it will be the compromise that Clinton and the Republicans settle on. Along with his speech, Poshard will receive an honorary member- ship into Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honors society. Harvey Pettry, president Cross County Mall of Pi Sigma Alpha, said Poshard’s consistent work throughout the district earned him the honor.

Unfortunately, the game didn’t have a purpose since neither team was headed any- where but home after this game was over. But this Eastern team should have been going somewhere, specifically the Mid-Continent Conference Tournament this weekend in Macomb. After all, just a year earlier this team had an overall record of 12-3 and won the Western Division Cham- pionship of the Mid-Continent CHET PIOTROWSKI/ Staff photographer Conference.
