Despite this. students and other taxpayers are

6W proiessor details Lewinsky, Tripp relationship

By Matt Berger
The I l/Irrltrr

\VASl llNG'lK )N ~— The rela-
tionship between Linda Tripp and
Monica Lewinsky was “like a big
sister and little sister," according
to a former Pentagon official in an
exclusive interview with The
George \Vashington Hatchet

W'illiam Blacklow, an adjunct
professor in the Elliott School of
International Affairs and former
deputy assistant secretary of
defense for public affairs—commu—
nications. was Trip 's immediate
supervisor at the entagon and
said he spoke to Lewinsky on a
daily basis.

i

Lewinsky served as assistant to
Ken Bacon, assistant secretary of
defense for public affairs—commu-
nication, and worked in the same
office as Blacklow.

“All of us in the front office
were aware (Tri and Lewinsky)
were friendly," glacklow said. “In
terms of spending spare time
together. no one had any.”

He said the two women would
lunch together and talk in the
office. Blacklow said their common
experiences brought them together.

“Kec in mind that these are
two refugees from the White
House." he said.

“Both had the same background,
which gave them a certain kinship."

 

 

 

Tripp claims to secretly have
taped conversations in which
Lewinsky spoke of an affair with
President Clinton. Blacklow said
he was stunned when he heard the
women's names at the fore of the
scandal.

"It never struck me that their
friendship was anything less than
genuine, Blacklow said.

He said Tripp, who worked in
community relations under his
supervision, had access to taping
equi ment. But he said he never
saw er tape a conversation with
Lewinsky.

The women's paths crossed in
the sprin of l996, when Lewinsky
was hircdzafter serving as an intern

and staff member at the “hire
House. Tripp had been at the Pen—
tagon since the summer of I‘M-I.

According to a source close to
the Pentagon, Tripp was hired
there uni er orders from the
“'hitc Hotise.

Tripp appeared in Newsweek
in August 1997 claiming Kathleen
\Villey, a \Vhite House volunteer.
told her the president kissed and
fondled her in his private office.
The story ran two months after
Blacklow left the Pentagon.

Blacklow said he knew Tripp
was under pressure at times. includ—
ing when she spoke to the Senate
about “'hitewater, after bein one
of the last people to see \ 'hite

l louse deputy counsel Vince l’oster
before he committed suicide.

lilacklow said he knew both
women on a professional basis. He
said he would speak with Lewin-
sky about (Ilinton in relatively
vague terms.

“She was a young person who
was fascinated by politics," Black-
low said. “\Ve did talk about peo-
ple we know.“

He described Tripp as “apoliti—
cal." Blacklow said he did not know
the circumstances of l.ewinsky's
hiring, but that she told him her she
took the job to advance her career.

“She said the “hue House was
quite an interesting place to
work," Blacklow said. “Anyone at

that age. working at the \Vhite
l louse. it's a chance of a lifetime."

But according to the Pentagon
source. Lewinsky had a tendency
to be a name dropper.

She “dropped names" that
seemed inappropriate for her rank at
the “hite House, the source said.
“She had a tendency to exa gerate."

Blacklow said he (lies not
believe he will be subpoenaed b
independent counsel Kennet
Starr. who is investigating whether
Clinton encouraged Lewinsky to
periure herselfin a deposition.

“I'm a bit player," Blacklow
said. “I don‘t think I have any
information that can contribute to
the independent counsel."

Patience, good
passing keys
against Vandy

By Jay G. Tate

.S/ml‘h lit/[fur

l’rior to Vanderbilt‘s trip to
Rupp :\rena last month, the (Join-
inodores felt good abotit their
chances against L'K.

'l‘hey boasted an 11—2 record.
with their only losses coming to
tip—start St. Louis anti No. 1
Kansas.

They had a matchup zone
defense that had placed them
among Southeastern Conference
leaders in scoring defense.

But all that changed after
Vandy. which starts two players
taller than (i-foot-B, was badly
out-rebounded by the (Eats. S7—
IH. L'K used that margin to feed a
shooting slump that allowed L'K
to shoot just -ll percent from the
field. Big Bltie averted disaster by
putting up it) more shots and
won. Tl-(iZ.

.-\s Vandy comes into tonight‘s
”1‘0 game against No. 7 CK,
rebounding ~— or a lack thereof ..--
has continued to seize the spot-
light for the Commodores.
Though the team starts two play—
ers over (i—foot-S, the (Join-
iiiodores (145) are the Sl‘iC's
poorest rebounding team at just
{2}) per garlic. 'l‘hotigh \'andy
head coach .Ian van Breda Kolff
said he would like to see his team
rebound more effectively tonight,
he knows it won't be easy for two
reasons.

L'ls' (Iii—2) is the conference's
top rated rebounding squad. .»\nd
L'ls' head coach Tubby Smith has
a history of being finicky about his
teams‘ performances on the glass.

“Playing his team at (ieorgia.
(Smith‘s) teams were rebouding—
oriented," van Breda Kolff said.
“\Vhen we played them in the
past. and one ofotir players would
get an offensive rebound off one
of their bigger players. (Smith)
would make a qtiick substitution."

Though the (Tats get strong
rebounding from the usual sus-
pects inside. the rebounding effort
CVliililtCtl by the Big Blue back-
court has emerged as one of the
(:ats' keys to success

(Ionsider that the (Iats have
out-rebounded their opponents in
each of the team's 30 games this
season.

In addition. they lead the Sl".(I
in rebounding margin at (+113)
and they enioy more than 1;
rebounds per game from their top
guards and small forwards.

“\Ve know got to
rebound collectively as a team."
guard (Iameron .\lills said. “It's
not (the frontcotirt's) responsibili—
ty to get all the rebounds. It's
something (the guards) have really
concentrated on. liveryonc real—
i/es that to keep this streak going
of (llllil‘t‘lititiiitlliig otir opponents
going. e\cr_\onc is going to lime
to rebound."

Smith agreed that he demands
strong rebounding from every
player on the floor. He cited the
two teams' last meeting as l'ixhibit
.-\ for the power of team rebound»
ing.

“\Vc needed any rebound if I
remember correctly." Smith said.
“\Ve didn‘t play particularly well

w c lust rebounded and got a lot
of second sliots.”

\gamst \Hmdy's match—tip

may prove to be the most impor-

\Vayne 'l'urtier said. “Once we
started getting patient and got the

Smith said the confusion stir—
rounding \“andy‘s [one defense
has led the (ionimodores to the
top of tlic Sl‘ifi‘s team steals
charts.

“lheir pretty quick at the
perimeter and their system allows
them to play the lanes and go for

Sinitb said. “It gives you the illu—

MM" summit", columnist

uppose a professor walked into your class—
room and calmly explained an abortion—
rights petition that he or she supported.
Then suppose the professor suggested that
any supportive students sign up to show their

support.

\Vould you feel even the slightest bit of
coercion to ptit your name on the dotted line?
\Vtitiltl you wonder what the professor thought
of you if you didn't sign up? What ifit's a less
explosive topic like construction of a

to walk a fine line so that students (a captive
and vulnerable audience) don’t feel unduly
coerced.

It may seem harmless to bring up a local
issue like the proposed arena for a few brief
moments, but if a single student signs a peti-
tion that they would have ignored otherwise,
then something needs to be done.

We would feel more comfortable if profes-
sors sought student support outside of the

classroom, perhaps at the Student

new basketballarena?()rdoes thespe— IN OUR 0P|N|0N (Ienter, Free Speech Area or the

cifie topic even tnatter?

These questions arose last week because
some faculty chose to bring them up during
class time. \\'e understand that the right to
speak freely in one‘s own classroom without
fear of reprisals has long been regarded as a
sacred right in academia and thus has been
protected by tenure to a large degree.

\\'ith that in tnind, we would never suggest
that professors be gagged about their political
viewpoints, but we do feel that professors need

library. Further, we share the concern
of faculty members that the arena issue may
overshadow academic concerns. Unfortunate—
ly, it seems that it’s the professors who are let-
ting the issue interfere with the classroom
rather than the Athletic Association.

The arena issue would have quickly blown
over with little impact on the educational mis—
sion of UK; however, activities such as these
only stoke the fires and make the arena a
greater distraction than it would have been.

Martin Luther King Day is
something that is for everyone,
even though it directly affected
the lives of African Americans.

The civil rights movement has
inspired many other people to
stand up to the ills of America.

Not only did African Ameri-
cans fight and die for their rights,
but people ofother races did this
as well.

Although both “'ashington ,Letters ouldbeapproxi-

Cloning won ’t be
the disaster that
many foresee

hysicist Richard Seed has
caused an amazing amount
of controversy with the
recent announcement of his
intention to clone human beings.

Uncharacteristically, altnost the
entire scientific community and
the general public have joined
together to denounce this effort
as impractical and unethical.

This is a bu e mistake. Aban-
doning researc will cause
the human race to lose out
on a golden opportunity,
both to learn and to
improve the quality oflife.

The paramount con-
cern among scientists is
the ethical considerations
which are inherent in
cloning. Many have com-

Partial cloning could potential-
ly allow the growing of bodily
organs and limbs for transplanta-
tion without the risk of rejection.

Great minds and great athletes
and those with other gifts might
perish, but their abilities could be
carried on indefinitely through
their genetic makeup.

Imagine a mind like Albert
Einstein's, reproduced every gen-
eration and iven access to ever-
improving efucation and technol-
ogy, capable of making new
insights and discoveries with each
new incarnation.
