The event, part of the Colloquium of Scholarsseries, wasopenedbyDr. Russell Stockard of the communication arts professor as he congratulated Tierney on his book. Tiemey spoke a bit about his book and about moral education. He said he feels thatsociety has becomedisillusionedwith itsideas. He said,"Wehavenewideas,but nonehavesufficientconvictionbehindthem to serve as a model for our society." The professor developed a concept of imagination in ethics thatwas notamatter ofprinciples, but a matter ofideals. He defined idealism as "the concrete structuralism of the self." "Ideals are a medium ofour understanding, they're not simply fantasies," Tiemey said. Part of his book is devoted to trying to uncoverthefactthatpeoplewanttodothe right thing.

Is thatthekind of change weare looking for, a return to the time when only the rich and well-to-docouldaffordan education? Such a change would be a regression rather than a step forward. Abrams and Porter also advocate the line-item veto, supposedly because itgives "America back to the people me bylimitinggovernmentalcontrol."Isitjust ordidthese two miss a few too many days ofAmerican history? The line-item veto would break down the separation of powers, effectively giving the president the power to override congressional action at their whim. In writing the Federalist Papers, our founding fathers had tremendous foresight in giving us this separation of powers. To undo it would be catastrophic. Clearly, the Republican Party is looking toward the 19%presidential election, for a line-item veto, if passed now, would give President Clinton the ability to override this illustrious GOP Congress. Itis no coincidence that such a proposal is coming now andprobablywillnotbepassed untilveryclosetothe 1996 election, ifand when the GOP has won the election.
