Every candidate sees a different future for the United States, and each thinks he can take it there. As tomorrow's leaders, students must have their own vision and become involved in selecting the people who will guide us toward the new millennium. The 1996 Presidential election is quickly approaching, yet many students don't know even the most vocal candidates' opinions. How does Patrick Buchanan envision our country's future? What is his stand on immigration, affirmative action and abortion? Does Robert Dole support the National Endowment for the Arts or benefits for gay couples? If elected, does Dole THE ITHACAN'S VIEW intend to balance the budget, and if so, what programs will be cut? If Clinton is re-elected, will he push to allow homosexuals in the military, continue to support AIDS research and keep American service people involved in the Bosnian peacekeeping effort? Students who can't answer these questions need to get educated. They cannot remain ignorant. By not supporting the views they advocate or actively opposing those that make their stomachs turn, students may find themselves faced with an unpleasant future.
