CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS—The North Wood High School Student Council would like to collect one million pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. Ronald McDonald House is a place for parents to stay when their children are ill and being treated at Riley's Children's Hospital. The special house is solely funded by generous contributors—the public, and receives no government support. The student council is asking everyone to participate by saving pop tabs from aluminum cans. Area residents and students are welcome to deliver them to any Wa-Nee Community School. Or bring them to the North Wood High School boys basketball home games and drop them off at the coat check. The student council thanks you for making life easier for all the parents of these sick children.

dous responsibility. I am proud of my deep roots in this community, and I take the challenges Os being a public servant seriously. 1 look forward to an exciting and invigorating campaign.” Roemer discussed several major themes he hopes to emphasize during the election campaign: balancing the budget, boldly reforming education and simplifying the tax code. “Now that the budget is nearing balance, common sense suggests that we should not turn around and start digging ourselves into a fiscal hole again,” noted Roemer, a longtime proponent of balancing the budget through efforts such as the Balanced Budget Amendment, the Line-Item Veto and cutting porkbarrel spending. Roemer, who is a member of the House Education Committee, also hopes to play an important role in education reform, including efforts

to prohibit social promotion (so students can read at the appropriate level before reaching the next grade), placing more qualified teachers in the classroom, giving every child an opportunity to learn early in life, increasing support for charter schools, expanding the ability of students to pursue higher education, and improve training for workers so they can meet the challenges of the 21st century. Roemer also noted that simplifying the tax code should be a top priority. “It shouldn’t take two days and two accountants to file your taxes. The tax system does not work for American families—who need and deserve a break. We should have a tax code everyone can understand —one that is uncomplicated and serves working families.” He also said he plans to run a campaign that focuses on how best to meet the challenges of the next
