EVANS Herald Staff Writer Now that George Bush has been elected president, many 'Americans are left wondering what impact that will have on country. But, according to one Brigh-aYoung University professor, it won't have a noticeable impact at all. m "There's a lot of hype, but the direction of the country is .'not fundamentally changed," .said Clayne Pope, who teaches .economics. "It is the nature of the political structure to move all the candidates to the dle. It doesn't change the of the country very much if we elect a Democrat or a Republican." However, another professor, during a panel discussion at BYU, strongly disagreed with Pope's opinion. Craig Peery, a family science professor, said the president makes a "huge difference", but it makes an even Digger difference if the president and the majority of Congress are of the same political party. "If we really want to find out the difference between Republicans and Democrats, we need to elect a Republican congress and a Republican president." Peery said the single biggest domestic issue in the next four years will be who Bush will appoint to the Supreme Court if that opportunity arises. Pope said the real issue the president should be concerned with is not the pledge of allegiance, the drug problem, foreign ownership of the U.S. or criminal penalties, but rather the "D" word the deficit. - The KBYUUtah Colleges Exit Poll, which surveyed a scientifically random sample of Utah voters on election day, reported 50 percent of voters surveyed were in support of a state lottery to fund education. In Idaho one such lottery was voted on and passed by a slim margin Tuesday. Only 43 percent of those surveyed in Utah disapproved of the lottery, while 7 percent were not sure. "While there is early support for the idea, this is not an indication that a lottery will pass," said David B. Magleby, associate professor of political D94701 itself."

They think there will be the same continuation of dialogue," Taylor said. :; The poll found a great di parity between members of different political parties. Re publicans would have defeated the lottery three to two, while Democrats and Independents would have passed it by a high : margin. was also an imporReligion tant factor in poll results.
