ANALYSIS

By EVANS wm
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —— In the next few
weeks, Al Gore needs to prove what
Mike Dukakis demonstrated on
Super Tuesday —— that he can win
outside his home region, that he‘s
not just another favorite son.

And now Dukakis has something
new to prove — that he can win pri-
mary after primary across the coun-
try, become the front-runner and
build the momentum to clinch the
Democratic nomination before the
convention opens in August.

No one is conceding an inch to the

SAB considering new
recreation committee

By EVA J. W] .\'l\'l.E
Staff Writer

The Committee for the Preserva-
tion of Indoor Recreation appeared
before the Student Activities Board
last night to propose the integration
of an indoor recreation committee
by SAB.

The committee proposed that SAB
select a separate committee to be in
charge of the gameroom and its
tournaments. The gameroom is
presently under the guidance of Stu-
dent Center Director Frank Harris.
and is funded through his office.

Mike Bowling, SAB special activ-
ities chairman. moved to accept the
proposal, which was tabled for two
weeks pending further investigation
by the board.

James Calkins, chairman of the
indoor activities committee. said he
felt the organization would be able
to bring more students into the Stu-
dent Center, as well as generate its
own revenues.

“I believe this committee could
actually bring money in." he said.
“It would just bring everything to-
gether under one committee so we‘d
be able to run the tournaments bet-
ter."

John Herbst. SAB adviser. said an
indoor recreation committee existed
in the late 19605. but was absorbed

by the Special Activities Committee
in the late 19705 due to a decline in
interest.

SAB President Lynne Hunt said
the recreation preservation commit-
tee approached her before
Christmas about becoming part of
the board, because they felt their
needs were not being met.

She said a petition was then sent
to her in early February containing
about 70 names. many of whom
have said they wanted to apply for
the committee chairmanship.

Hunt suggested a committee be
established comprised of herself,
Harris. Herbst and a representative
from the recreation preservation
committee to investigate the specif-
ics of the proposal.

She also suggested the indoor rec-
reation committee, if accepted. be
placed on a one-year trial period, as
is customary with all new SAB com-
mittees.

Calkins. a second-year law stu-
dent, said the reason his committee
approached Hunt was to make the
proposed committee a “continuing
thing."

“A lot of times you get a student
who will run a committee or a club,
and then after so long the emphasis
falls out of it and the club falls
apart," he said.

Dukakis, Gore now need to prove electability

in the mega-states of Florida and
Texas on Tuesday.

The calendar should now give Du-
kakis a little edge. shifting from the
Southern accents of Super Tuesday
to some of the nation‘s toughest po-
litical battlegrounds — the big in-
dustrial states of Illinois, Michigan.
Wisconsin, New York and Pennsyl-
vania.

As the governor of a major North—
eastern industrial state with a
strong ethnic background, Dukakis
should have less trouble speaking
the voters‘ language in the upcom-
ing states than he did in the South.

Gore has exactly the opposite
problem — he just had the contests
in his best region and is now moving
to less familiar ground.

“What state is Al Gore going to
win in the North?" is how Dukakis
aide Leslie Dach posed the problem.

The Tennessee senator and Jesse

Jackson each won a goodly share of
the states and the delegates avail-
able Tuesday. splintering the stand-
ings among the Democratic hopefuls
with Dukakis.

That proved both are winners. es»
sential to continuing in the race.
even though the victories were on
home turf.

But Dukakis proved more he
won at home but also in the South. a
region critical to the Democrats
hopes of regaining the White House
He showed he could win in a variety
of regions of the country from
Texas to Washington

One big advantage Dukakis now
has is his bank account

"We’ve got $2 million in the bank
and $1 million more coming in fcdcr
al matching money." Dach said yes-
terday.

That. plus a \vellregarded cam

fight on.

Soap operas’ attraction part fantasy, psychology

By ROBYN WALTERS
Contributing Writer

It begins about 12:30 pm. each
day At first, they come in a few at
a time. Some bring their homework.
Others bring lunch. Others just sit
and fidget or talk quietly.

As the time draws closer, they ar-
rive in groups. They take a seat on
the floor or stand against the wall
and wait with bated breath for the
exact anticipated moment.

The clock hits 1 pm. and today's
episode of “Days of Our Lives“ has
begun.

it is one of the more remarkable
scenes on campus. What but a soap
opera could possibly attract more

le than ever show up for half of
the classes that are being held?

If you have ever walked through
the Student Center during the early
afternoon, you have probably seen
the group of people who crowd into
the tiny second-floor television room
in the Student Center.

People show up to the room each
day for a variety of reasons. Some

say they watch the shows to be in on
the “excitement," others to be with
friends and others just to pass the
time.

Undecided freshman Lori Willis
said she schedules her classes
around soap operas. She said she
isn‘t sure what attracts peOpIe to the
shows, but "as long as characters
like Steve Johnson continue to be
featured. i'll be watching."

Some may think only females
watch soap operas. but a large num-
ber of males turn out to catch their
daytime drama in the Student Cen-
ter.

Bininess 8r Economics freshmen
Jeff Marshall said he only watches
soap operas to kill the hour he has
between classes

Communications freshman Keith
Dierks said he made the mistake of
scheduling a class that conflicts with
his favorite soap opera and now he
skips a class each Monday. Wednes-
day and Friday so he doesn‘t miss
an episode.

the crowd watching soap operas covers the floor
and spills out into the hall.

"This could give kliti\\lctlgt‘.iblr~.
responsible freshmen the potential
and experience to be tutiirc lead

Price. also a HHSDUHNH‘ oi the
amendment.

Lohman said he was punter! by
the close vote on the anicndnu-nl be
cause there was very little opi-osi
tion voiced in debate

”I guess they don‘t think the
freshmen should he represented on
the senate. ” he said

Senator at Large Bryan Payne
said he voted against the .imcnd
ment because it unfairly lavors the
freshman class.

“To say they should get more rep
resentation as treshnien because
they couldn‘t vote the prcxiotis year
is to say seniors should get more
representation because they can't
vote the following year." Payne
said. “Two senators are enough to
represent them , "

“I think it‘s fine the way it is.”
said Business & Economics Senator
Mary Tripp Reed. who also voted
against the amendment “lt's qual~
ity. not quantity.“

Bill, to get

tax dodgers’

cash, passes

By MARK R. (‘HELLGREN
Associated Press

FRANKFURT — A bill to provide
an opportunity for tax dodgers to
settle their bills with the state was
approved by the House Appropria-
tions and Revenue Committee yes-
terday.

The amnesty program is an inte-
gral part of Gov. Wallace Wilkin—
son‘s budget-balancing exercise be
cause of the $10 million it is
expected to bring in.

But Rep. Bill Donnermeyer, D-
Bellevue, said the whole idea was
unfair.

“This smacks in the face of every
honest, sincere taxpayer in the state
of Kentucky,“ said Donnermeyer,
the only member to vote against the
measure.

“We need money but do we
need money that bad‘? " he asked

Commissioner Alex Rose of the
Revenue Cabinet said the amnesty
would apply to all taxes owed to the
state. Anyone who paid back taxes
during the amnesty period would be
able to avoid penalties and half the
accrued interest.

Only taxes due and payable before
Dec, 1, 1987 would be covered by the
amnesty. Any longer, Rose said.
would risk people delaying paying
their income taxes for the 1987 year.

After the amnesty period closed,
state enforcement efforts would be
increased as would penalty and in-
terest Clauses. Rose said.

The amnesty period would also
apply to the cabinet's accounts re-
ceivable of tax bills already im-
posed. but unpaid for some reason.

Total accounts receivable amount
to $211 million right now, Rose said.
But a more realistic figure of the
amount that might actually be col-
lected would be closer to $87 million.
headded.

Rose defended the amnesty as not
a one-time shot.

“The amnesty program will not
sacrifice one penny of tax." Rose
said.

He said that taxpayers now un-
known to the cabinet would be added
to the rolls for future collections and
the increased enforcement efforts
would ensure that more money
came in every year.

The bill was approved by a vote of
19-1 and now goes to the full House.

Bills would try juveniles as adults

By JAMES WEBB
Associated Press

FRANKFORT — A House commit-
tee yesterday approved two bills
that would make it easier to pros-
ecute juveniles as adults for serious
crimes such as rape and murder.

The bills also propose differing
changes in the restrictions govern-
ing where a juvenile can be de»
tained.

The House Judiciary Criminal
Committee adopted both bills as
committee substitutes. Both would
alter the juvenile code passed by the
1986 General Assembly.

Both bills would allow county at-

torneys to request that juveniles be
tried as adults if they are charged
with a serious felony crime such as
murder, rape or armed robbery,

The juvenile code currently pro-
hibits trial as an adult for a juvenile
who is a first-time offender, regard~
less of the seriousness of the offense.
A previous felony, or violation of a
court order resulting from a felony.
in the previous year was required

Both bills also address another
section of the code that restricts how
and where juveniles can be de-
tained.

Some judges have interpreted the
juvenile code as requiring that juve—
niles be detained in a separate build

ing, not just in a separate section of
a jail. That has caused problems
across the state where such facili-
ties are not available.

One of the bills would allow juve-
niles to be kept in many county
jails. in a section separated by sight
and sound from adult inmates. The
other bill would require a more
stringent separation, such as a sepa-
rate part or wing of a building con-
taining an adult jail.

Sen. Mike Moloney, D-Lexington.
who testified in favor of the stricter
separation. said it would require a
wall between adult and juvenile in-
mates, while the looser guidelines
would only require a locked door.

CHE renewing
pleas for more
education cash

Associated Press

FRANKFORT — The Council on
Higher Education is making another
appeal for the legislature to raise
the amount of money destined for
the state’s universities.

“The overall impact of the budget
that‘s coming forward is that it’s de—
pressing in that it slows momen-
tum," said council Chairman Mi-
chael Harreld.

He noted that a House subcommit-
tee has recommended taking $20
million from the governor‘s elemen-
tary and secondary education bud-
get and giving it to higher educa-
tion.

Harreld said the council appre-
ciated the action taken by the House
Appropriations and Revenue sub-
committee but “it‘s woefully inade-
quate."

The council‘s executive committee
agreed Tuesday to ask the General
Assembly to try again to find more
money for higher education, specif-
ically to make safety repairs at
some universities and to expand the
endowed chairs or centers of excel-
lence at the state‘s universities.

The council expressed frustration
about its inability to do more for
higher education.

When state officials are “locked
into saying they're not going to raise

taxes, there’s not much to do,“
council member Terry McBrayer
said.

The biennium budget appropria»
tion, even with the $20 million addi-
tion, still tells about $200 million
below what higher education
wanted, said Ken Walker, the coun-
cil‘s deputy executive director for fi-
nance.

The council had hoped to bring the
funding level at Kentucky universi-
ties to 94 percent of what similar
universities in other states receive
during the first year of the bienni-
um, and 100 percent the second.

Instead, Gov. Wallace Wilkinson's
budget would mean about 83 percent
and 82 percent those years. The sub-
committee‘s budget is only about a
percentage higher each year.

McBrayer predicted a special ses~
sion would be called next spring to
raise taxes and provide the revenue
that higher education needs.

Until then, “I think we've beat our
gums about all we can," he said.

He called on politicians to “throw
the polls away" and “do right.“

“Kentucky cries — cries for lead—
ership in the legislature and the ex-
ecutive branch to stand up and take
it on the chin. . . . We‘ve got to have
a tax increase.

 

Continued from Page 1

“if we had this as a centralized
thing, then we would be able to
have a lasting commitment in
this area."

Herbst said SAB members
would have to decide how the
committee would be funded, and
if its expenses would be incorpo-
rated by the board. He said that
student activity fees would not
necessarily have to be raised to
assist in the gameroom costs.

Bowling said he was going to
visit the gameroom to "get a bet-

 

OSAB pondering group

ter idea of what goes on” and to
gauge student interest.

"If it‘s a strong committee.
which from the signatures they
have it seems that they are, I
would suggest some type of trial
period for the committee,“ Bowl-
ing said.

Although Hunt admitted she
was “skeptical,“ she said it was
“worth giving a shot.“

“We're always open to sugges-
tions about how we can program
better in areas that we‘re not
serving," she said.
