For the past few months, there has been an endless bar- rage of media hype about November 8th, a day that will soon be upon us. Unfortunately, as it becomes more difficult to separate the real issues from the blabber, there is a great temp- tation to tune out completely, and ignore the decision which will affect our world. Relating the issues to our smaller world, CLC, sharply defines how crucial our participation on Elec- tion Day is. Before mentioning anything about the national elections, we had elections of our own here at CLC last Spring* We ex- perienced firsthand a pathetic turnout, both in the number of students interested in running for an elected position, and in the number of students who voted. The USG elections perfectly illustrates a lack of student involvement and con- cern for the CLC community. We should not allow ourselves the same apathy in our national elections. We students continuously state that we want to be treated as adults. Well, voting is an adult privilege. Back in 1968, when 18 year-olds were being shipped off to fight in a war, they had no voting rights. It took that generation to bring the voting age down; and now only twenty years later, too many of us don't even bother to excercise this right. Whether you're a freshmen, senior, or student/parent, the next president's policies will directly effect you. Will the next president have a clearly defined educational agenda to remedy the lack of incentives for. dedicated and qualified professors in our universities, as well as one which addresses the decreas- ing level of federal funding for Pell Grants? Without a policy to insure a strong economy Which will provide jobs, how are students going to payback then* loans after graduation? For the United States to remain a leading economic force in the 21st century, the next president is going to have to have an effective long-term course of action. A service economy without a solid educational foundation will be disastrous to to our future. The issues which confront us are serious. Don't be persuad- ed one way or the other by the powerful imagery of TV com- mercials, or the campaign trail one-liners intended to sway your opinion. Listen to what the candidates really say, and if you don't think they're saying anything, take a look at their literature and their professional records. Many elections have been won and lost by the narrowest of margins. Don't think your voice doesn't count. It's your fujture. Be responsible. Make a conscious, well-informed choice, and exercise your perogative. VOTE! CLC OBSERVER Letters to the Editor EDITORIAL BOARD Unsportsman-like coverage? editors are all well aware of this fact.

The Top Of My Head: Manto's Memos

By Salvatore Manto Kirk Gibson is the National League's Most Valuable Player. And although he may not have the stats you might expect from a M.V.P., he makes up for it with his heart. Where would the Brooklyn Dodgers be without him? Oops that slipped out. I meant the Los Angeles Dodgers. If it weren't for Gibson and pitcher Orel Hershiser, the Dodgers would be at home watching the World Series instead of playing in it. Since Hershiser is going to win the Cy Young award isn't it just to award Gibson the M.V.P.? Sure Darryl Strawberry had better stats than Gibson, but was Strawberry as important to the Mets as Gibson was to the Dodgers? I think not. The Mets would still have won the Na- tional League East handily but the Dodgers would have finished out of contention. The only person who has a reasonable shot at beatingout Gibson is Andy Van Slyke of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was almost as important to the Pirates as Gibson was to the Dodgers'., Mind you, I am not looking at statistics, but rather leadership qualities as well as impact. If anyone else wins M.V.P. Wayne Gretsky: It's good to be a "King"! other than Gibson and Van Slyke, it will be an injustice and will prove once again that I can't predict didley-squat. N.L.C.S.: What happened? The Mets were supposed to han- dle the Dodgers handily on their way to their second World Series in three years. But they didn't. Did you hear somebody coughing? 1 think somebody is choking on something. There are two reasons the Mets lost to L. A.: I .Kirk Gibson 2.Orel Hershiser. Any ques- tions? Game 1 was all about Met "magic" and "Ya Gotta Believe" when Gary Carter hit a two out bloop single off of Jay Howell in the last inning to edge L.A. 3-2. Hershiser: Orel over the Vs. Game 2 was all Dodgers 6-3. David Cone, after writing in his article that Howell reminded him of a "high-school pitcher," was rocked for five runs in the first two innings. I guess that makes Cone a grade-school pitcher. Game 3 was entirely Mets baseball. The final was 8-4. In this game, Howell was thrown out for "substance abuse." The umpire found pine tar in Howell's glove and ejected him. Howell said he used it to get a better grip on the ball. A. Bartlett Giamati, National League President, suspend- ed Howell for three games but later reduced it to two games. One snjall note on Game 3. Keith Hernandez did a lovely ballet step on his way to third base in the sixth inning. Didn't he? Game 4, oh Game 4. How it hurts to write about this (yeah, right). Dwight Gooden let a" 4-2 lead get away from him in the ninth when he walked John Shelby and surrendered a homer to Mike Sciosia. Then in the 12th inning Kirk Gibson crushed a Roger McDowell pitch in the stands to give the Dodgers a 5-4 win. In this game Greg Jefferies twice failed to bunt runners over to. scoring position and it cost the Mets a chance of winning the game. In Game 5, Gibson hit a three-run homer to lead L.A. to a 7-4 win. Cone redeemed himself in Game 6 giving up just five hits and just one run in a 5-1 Mets win. In Game 7, L.A. scored six runs in two innings thanks to errors by Jefferies and Hernandez. With six runs that's all Mr. M.V.P. Hershiser need- ed. And that's all she wrote. A.L.C.S.: The Oakland A's had the best record in baseball. The Red Sox won the Eastern Division with 89 wins. That's 19 less than what Oakland had. The A's had Jose (40-40) Canseco and Dennis (45 saves) Eckersley. Boston had lost 8 of their last 9 games. Mismatch. Oakland swept Boston in four straight games. Eckersley saved all fourgames and won M.V.P. while Canseco hit three homers. Game 1 had Eckersley striking out Wade Boggs twice with the bases loaded to preserve a 2-1 win (You could hear Gastineau: Leaves his Mark on the Jets. McGwire: Saves the A's from a Brooklyn sweep. them moan in Boston.) Canseco hit his first home run. Game 2 saw the A's jump out to a 4-0 lead as Canseco hit his second third player in history to win M.V.P. in both the N.L.C.S. and Atlanta Falcon David Croudip died of a cocaine overdose. The blast and Eckersley held on to a 4-3 lead in the ninth. Game 3 World Series in the same year.
