Road 1000 East Denton, Jennifer, 205 Wicker- Former Continued from Page 1 tries, Kimberling helps countries set up or improve their election process. With the political events in Eastern Europe and the spotlight once more on Latin America, the commission has perhaps never been in more demand since it was formed 15 years ago. The commission does not impose an electoral system on a country, Kimberling said, but works with that nation to find the system that will fit its needs and work the best with a country's history and culture. In some countries, that has meant getting leaders of as many as nine different political parties to sit down together and write an election law. Particularly with countries that have a history of fraudulent elections, the political parties need to be included in every step of the process, Kimberling said.

Then the parties will spread the word that this election, unlike the previous one, is for real, he said. But the most important part of the election process is not necessarily the actual election day, but all the events leading up to it, according to Kimberling. Making sure there is a real opposition to the group in power, that all sides have an equal opportunity to campaign, and monitoring who will oe allowed to vote constitute the first step. That's what has Kimberling worried about the Feb. 25 Nicaraguan elections.

The opposition parties have nut had equal access to television channels and have been denied use of other essential items, such as a hall for its convention, causing the party to use a "godfor- saKen little barn." he said. Also, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega was "dragged almost kicking and screaming into the registration procedures He wanted an almost minimum effort to register people." Early polls show opposition leader violeta Barrios Oe Chamorro neck and neck with Ortega, Kimbeling said, which helps explain Ortega's actions. "It's clear to me that he doesn't want this election," Kimberling said. Members of the Federal Election Commission have already been in Nicaragua in the months preceding the upcoming election. Kimberling himself will travel there next month and will visit the polling places, look for signs of intimidation, such as troops stationed outside the polling places, and watch the ballot counting system.

But Kimberling's final assessment of the elections will be taken guardedly by the Organization of American States and others because of President Bush's administration's open opposition to Ortega. In this election, he will not serve as an impartial, international watchdog, but his will be one of the many evaluating the proceedings. Being in the midst of the election process one of the most politically charged and thus potentially explosive events in a country has put Kimberling in some interesting situations. "My first trip to Nicaragua put me on edge," he said. "I had given up smoking for three months.

I was sitting with our ambassador and I heard what sounded to me like Chinese fireworks. And I said 'My God, it's an unusual time in the year for a fiesta' and he said, 'Haven't you ever heard machine gun fire "So I reached for a cigarette. I continued smoking and there was a 'woomph, I looked at him in alarm and he said, 'It's only mortar and they're not aiming at So I reached for another cigarette, and I've been smoking ever since." Elections are controlled public conflict, said Kimberling, who likes to tell Latin American countries that they have the conflict part down pat but they have to work on the control. "It's the finest job in the world," he says. "You have a front row seat to the passing political parade, but you don't have to take sides." And Kimberling says with a laugh that he always wins the office pools predicting the outcome of an election.

"But when I come back to Kokomo, I realize what the whole thing is about," Kimberling said. "Never have so many people lived so freely and happily under a system of government as we accomplished in the United States. When you fly from coast to coast, and you look down on the towns and villages, that's what it's all about. To allow these free people to choose what they want." sham Drive W.

United Continued from Page 1 similarly large population, but our electoral system ties us together while the Soviet Union's system is dividing up the country. Kimberling predicted that the different factions just within the Soviet Communist Party will begin to function almost like two separate political parties. That may serve a transition to a real multiparty system, he said. "I used to joke with the Soviets that when you have 99 percent of the people vote and they all vote the same way, it's just a little hard for me to But no system even ours is perfect, Kimberling emphasized. Each process can always be improved.

In fact, there is legislation pending in Congress that should do just that. The law, if passed, would make it easier for citizens to register and to stay registered. It would also give an incentive for states like Indiana to have a centralized computer listing of all registered voters in the state.

Weather elsewhere The state The region INDIANAPOLIS Hightlt necessity and benefits of such a system namely, to allow the state to redistrict in a matter of minutes and to be able to generate a list of all voters by streets, alphabetically, by ZIP code and other means. Unfortunately, Kimberling said, although 18 states already have a centralized system, those that don't see it as a partisan issue. Political parties don't want to see the opposition having access to a complete list, although it would be an equal access. The federal legislation should also address the biggest electoral issue in the country.

Some groups are complaining that the system makes it difficult for the poor and minorities to register, which helps explain the low voter turnout for those groups. Kimberling, however, says there is no evidence to suggest that registration constitutes a serious barrier to anyone wanting to vote. Although most Americans might have some surface cynicism about the electoral system, deep down, Kimberling said, few have genuine doubts about the process. To those who believe their one vote doesn't make a difference, Kimberling says: "You're right, it probably won t. But it isn't just your vote.

It's you and like-minded people. If you want your views, which are probably shared by lots of people, to be represented, then you better get out there and vote the politicians are gong to pay attention to those people who vote, not just to those who have a tantrum in the streets. "And in fact that's the alternative isn't it. If people want to sit home and not vote, the (issues) are going to be resolved by the people who take to the streets. I don think that's a good alternative." temperature in for 14 noun en ftmperiturc for 11 hour, ending 7 a.m.

cdv mimiHi -11 at cdv cdy Kissinger says U.S. must back reunification WASHINGTON (AP) Former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger says the United States will have to support reunification of the two Germanics, despite hopes to the contrary on the part of Soviet leaders. "The secret dream of the Soviet Union is that we will prevent the unification of Germany," Kissinger said in a interview taped for airing today on NBC television's "John McLaughlin's One on One." The German-born Kissiner said he personally would have been satisfied if the reunification issue "had not come up in my lifetime." "But it has come up, and it has come up in a way that makes it unavoidable, and it makes it important for the United States to get behind it, or else German nation- alism is going to turn against the United States," he said. Kissinger said "visible major steps will be taken within two years" toward German unification.

After upcoming elections, East Germany is likely to follow Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland in requesting withdrawal of Soviet forces from its territory, Kissinger said. He urged demilitarizing East Germany and creating a nonaligned military status like that of Austria for "former satellite states." Kissinger predicted that a unified Germany "economically will tilt West," while militarily the new situation will require complex arms talks.
