Students crowded around a
wide-screen television set in the
Old Student Center yesterday to
witness the beginning of a new era
as the nation's first Baby Boomer
was sworn in as president.

Some students said they were
filled with optimism and others
with dread, but almost all had an
opinion about Clinton‘s self-
proelaimed season of renewal.

“His (inauguration) speech was
outstanding.“ said Greg Ousley, a

LOUISVILLE, Ky. —— Barely
scraping by month to month to af-
ford school and support his two-
year old daughter, University of
Louisville student Chad Montrie
wondered aloud last night where the
priorities are for higher education
officials.

“While we're going to build a
domed stadium to bring in a better
football team, you're asking me if I
can afford a tuition increase," Mon-
trie told the state Council on Higher
Education last night, referring to U
of L's plan to build a new football
stadium.

Montrie was one of more than a
dozen students who demanded that
the council not raise tuition, as re-
quested by the state imiversity presi-
dents.

 

At the end of the council's No-
vember meeting, university presi-
dents recommended tuition rates,
already set for next year, be raised
and that the Council set tuition an-
nually.

Currently, the council determines
tuition rates every two years.

The council is considering
upping next year's tuition by as
much as $60 per semester at the
community colleges, $130 per se-
mester at regional universities and
$180 at the doctoral universities
(UK and U of L).

The Student Government As-
sociation wants to lmow how UK
students feel about the possibility
of a tuition increase and pro-
posed restructuring of proce-
dures and departments at the
University.

On Feb. 2 at 7 pm, SGA will
hold an open forum in the Stu-
dent Center for students to ex-
press their views about these two
issues.

SGA President Pete November

 

SGA to hold open forum
on tuition, restructuring

said he believes students still
are in the dark about the recom-
mended restructuring and the
student forum will serve as a
good opportunity for student
government members to gather
more input about tuition costs.

“I decided to do this because
of the possible tuition increase.
and students may still have
many questions.

“Students will get a chance
to see what has developed
(from the restructuring) at this
forum," be said.

WASHINGTON — William
Jefferson Clinton was inaugurat-
ed the 42nd president of the
United States yesterday in a sun-
splashed ceremony at the Capi-
tol, ushering in a new generation
of leadership and pledging to
“face hard truths and take strong
steps."

Inheriting a weak economy, a
$4 trillion federal debt and a gal-
axy of tieklish foreign-policy
crises, Clinton called for nation-
al renewal but acknowledged.
“it will not be easy; it will re—
quire sacrifiee." He specified
none in his inaugural address.

Students gather to watch
swearing in of president

eating throughout his campaign.
He pointed out the country's prob-
lems and the solutions to those
problems."

David Remley, a telecommuni-
cations junior, said Clinton has a
way of connecting with the peo-
ple.

“I think Clinton really got
through to the people when he said
that we should take care of the na-
tion the way a family takes care of
their children."

And psychology sophomore
Dawnita Agnew said Clinton will
be a great economic asset for mi-
norities.

CORRECTION:

Because of a reporter's error. a
story and headline in yesterday's
Kentucky Kernel stated the
incorrect amount UK will save
through changes called for in its
restructuring plan. UK will save
$2.6 million.

UK has lost $26.7 million In
budget cuts the past two years.
The restructuring does not make
up for those cuts.

ABC newsman gives local address

 

By Nicole Heumphreus
Staff Writer

 

On the eve of Bill Clinton‘s presi-
dential inauguration. ABC corre-
spondent Sam Donaldson told at
Lexington audience that Clinton
needs to recognize his weaknesses
and emphasize his strengths.

“If he has a weakness. it is that
old expression that someone htmg
on him in Arkansas years ago -—
'Sllck Willie.‘ " Donaldson said
during a smch at the Lexington
Horse Center Tuesday night

“i think it is unfair. but it is the
thing that people worry about in
himThatis—whatdoeshestmd
for? What really does he care
about?"

Donaldson, who was ABC‘s
White House correspondent during
the Carter and Reagan administra-
tions, said the American people
need to understand what direction
Clinton is going to take as president
so they can feel confident follow-
ing him.

He also said Clinton lacks a spe-
cific goal, unlike former President
Reagan.

“in Ronald Reagan‘s ease — and
l disagreed with Ronald Reagan
muchofthetime—hebadgreat
political strengths because you
knew what he stood for." Donald—
son said. “He could articulate it in
very simple terms.

"The woblan with Bill Clintm
is tint people weren‘t sure if he had

. m. nethmvfiw‘;\mrflv m

a very strong set of political impera-
tivesandifhelmewwherehewas
going. Yes, he wants to reform
medical care. That‘s fine. But
those are just generalizations.

“How are you going to do it? The
devil is in details.“

Donaldson advised Clinton to put
meaning behind his words and to
stop backpedaling on his promises.

“Since election day, on promise
after promise Bill Clinton has
said. ‘Well, that‘s all right i really
didn‘t mean it.‘ “

The speech. which was followed
by a question and answer session
with the audience. is part ofthe Dia-
logues Speaker Series sponsored in
put by WUKY-FM, UK‘s public
radio station.

ABC correspondent Sam Donaldson spoke Tuesday in Lex-
ington as part of Dialogues Speaker Series.

Not all students‘ reactions.
however, were positive.

Many were pessimistic and
more than ready to voice their
opinion about the change taking
place.

“It’s ridiculous how much
money he's spending on all the
parties." said physical therapy
freshman Jennifer Schott “He's
made his inauguration into a cir-
cus show. It seems like he's
throwing big parties for himself
while we are at war (with

Freshman Mike Scott agreed.

FRANKFORT. Ky. - Most
state agencies. including UK. were
informed yesterday of an “allot-
ment deferral" in their appropria~
tions, but officials insisted the ac—
tions were not a budget cut.

The effect however. is much the
same. Agencies are prohibited from
spending 2 percent of their annual
budgets as a result of the action.

The agencies had been notified in
October to prepare for such a cut

Cabinet Secretary Kevin liable
said a deferral still holds out hope
that tax revenues will meet projec-
tions before the fiscal year ends on
June 30. If there were a formal bud»
get cut agencies would not be al-
lowed to spend the money even if it
came in. he said.

“i think we're trying to address
the budget situation with some
thought." Hable said.

The orders from the Office for
Policy and Management come less
than a week after Gov. Brereton
Jones insisted that a budget cut was
neither imminent nor inevitable.
During a news conference last
Thursday. Jones downplayed the
problems of the state's fiscal
health.

"I would not overstate the prob-
lem as it exists right now." Jones
said.

Jones was in Washington yester-
day for the inauguration of Presi-
dent Clinton. and the orders to
withhold spending originaod with
Hable.

Tuition

Last night's crowd of newly 50.
made up mostly of students. was
raucous at times, applauding loudly
dining many remarks. including
Montrie's.

The crowd showed particular
support for U of L sophomore
Scott Stem who win so unsatis-
fied with the options suggested by
the council that he made his own.

Stewart handed council members
a paper listing U of L's administra-
tive costs versus its spending on ac-
ademic areas and proposed that
“the president should be taken out
and every administrator taken out
and replaced.“

Also adamant lmt night was for-
mer U of L student Tom Pearce.
Pearce said he was forced out of
school three years ago by rising nli-

 

  

tion costs and is still bitter.

“I’ve got a memory like an ele~
phat. and l'm gonna remanber
everybody along the way who
stubbed my toe," he told council
members while pounding his index
finger on the wooden podium and
fighting a threatening stream of
tears. “One of these days students
will organize."

UK Student Government Associ-
ation President Pete November
also addressed the CHE in opposi-
tion to higher tuition. November
immediately laid blame to the Gen-
eral Assembly and not the council
or university presidents for the pos-
sible increase, but he insisted the
panel answer three questions be-
fore approving the hike.

November asked that if there is
an increase. that scholarships and
financial aid keep pace, that there
beacapontheincreaseandthat
the money be spent on students
and their needs.

Company bans hickeys

Associated Press

Show a hickey, lose a day's pay.
That's the new policy at a Southern
California medical company that
has banned those telltale marks of
passion as unprofessional.

Why kiss off workers branded by
love bites?

Beeause colleagues and patients

“They were visible and no effort
was made to cover them." said Dia-
na Tamez, personnel manager for
the llS-employee fum ill Imperial
County, near the U.S.—Mexico bor-
der.

Hickeys long have been fodder
for teen-age teasing.

The Fox TV series “Beverly

November's comments drew near-
ly a half-minute ovation. mostly

tors he brought with him.

One student who spoke said he
was in favor of a small tuition in-
crease. Though he said he knew his
Opinion would be “unpopular," U of
L senior Kanhik Chandramouli said
the universities are ill desperate need
of more funding.

“The bottom line is, if you have a
university with 25,000 students but
no services, then you have an empty
shell," he said.

Jefferson Community College
President Ron Horvath said he
would hate to see a tuition increase
but that he sees no other choice for a
community couege system that's
hurting.

“I'm not going to enthusiastically
support an 8 to 15 percent increase,
but I'm not going to vigorously op-
pose it because we're too desperate
for funds," be said.

‘,-M~-. , .

Horvath called the increase a
“foregone conclusion," which he
said disappoints hint.

“This is certainly going to hurt
some of our students," he said. “It
may he the turning point for those
students to decide not to (attend
school)."

U of L President Donald Swain
reiterated his endorsement of the
increase, saying “we can't continue
to provide a dollar's worth of edu-
cation for 80 cents, like we're do-
ing now."

Swain, who spoke first. left a few
minutes later, prompting at least
one student to question his dedica-
tion to students.

“As you ean see, our university
president got up and left right after
his little speech." said U of L senior
Christine Jones, gesturing the coun-
cil members' eyes to Swain's emp-
ty chair. “That's what he always
does. Is be here to hear our grie-
vances? No."

UK President Charles Wethington

didn't attend last night's hearing or

either of the previous two. Vice
President for Administration Don-
ald Claw and Chancellor for the
Community College System Ben
Carr attended last night but did not
wsufy- Clapp said Wethington's
written letter to the CHE endorsing
the tuition increase spoke for itself.

Last night's forum was the third
hearing sponsored by the CHE. The
first was held last Thursday at East-
ern Kentucky University and the
second was held Tuesday at Owens-
boro Community College. The se-
ries of hearings will be wrapped up

“1 think he is allowing an outra-
geous amount of money to be spent
on his inauguration when he could
be helping other causes. He could
have shocked the nation by chang-
ing things from the start."

Most students said they are eager
to see what Clinton ean do.

Even those who aren’t Clinton

supporters are hopeful that he will
make a change.

“I don't trust Clinton. and I never
would have vowd for him. But I do

their new home at the White
House.

Outgoing President Bush, denied
a second term by a restive electo-
rate demanding change, watched
stoically as Clinton was sworn in
by Chief Justice William Rehn-

quist. Suddenly an ex-president.
Bush stepped forward to shake his
successor's hand.

Afterward, Bush flew home to
Houston, ending a quarter century
of public service and 12 years of
Republican rule in the White
House.

At 46, Clinton is the nation's
third youngest president and the
first of the postwar Baby Boom
generation to sit in the White
House.

Bush, perhaps the last president
of the World War [1 generation,
was the fourth oldest chief execu-
tive when he was sworn in at 64.

In his speech, remarkable for its
brevity at 14 minutes, Clinton salut-
ed Bush but lamented the state of
the nation.

“Raised in unrivaled prosperity,
we inherit an economy still the
world's strongest but weakened by
business failures, stagnant wages,
increasing inequality and deep divi-

sions among our people," Clinton
said. He deaied the high costs of
health care. the scourge of crime
and the hardships suffered by mil-
lions of poor children.

But the mood was anything but
solemn around the new president.

Cheers. whistles and applause
swelled from the 250,000 people at
the Capitol, bathed in bright sun-
shine irl a winter chill. Around the
world, countless millions paused to
watch the ceremony.

“We haven't cut the budget yet,"
Hable said yesterday.

A formal cut would require the
state to follow a specific set of in-
structions laid out in the budget
passed by the General Assembly
last year, including the spending of
budget reserves and surpluses.

There are two exceptions to the
order yesterday.

One is general state funding for
local schools, called the SEEK pro-
gram. it is the largest single appro-
priation in state government, total-
ing more than $1.7 billion this year
out of a General Fund budget of
$4.6 billion.

Hable said another exemption
was made for the state appropriation
to load prosecutors — county and
commonwealth's attorneys. Hable
said Attorney General Chris Gor-
man convinwd hint local law en-
forcement would suffer irreparably
if funding were lost.

Jones had said earlier he wanted
to save universities from any budget
cuts, but they have not been spared
to this point. Nevertheless, the chief
financial officer for the Council on
Higher Education said the plan fol-
lowed by the administration has let

universities plan for potential cuts.

“1 think this reserve approach is a
reasonable way to proceed," said
Ken Walker.

Universities. like all state agen-
cies, were left to their own devices
how to cut 2 percent from their an-
nual spending.

And, like most agencies, universi-
ties chose to put off some spending
rather than make cuts in payroll or
other permanent measures. Instead,
universities proposed deferring
equipment purchases and construc-
tion projects, delaying hiring and
cutting travel.

UK shouldn't have to cut any
more from its budget, since it has
been saving 2 percent since Octo-
ber, said Vice President for Admin-
istration Ed Carter.

He said most of the rest of UK‘s
2 percent will be saved by postpon-
ing expenditures.

The difference between a budget
cut and what the Jones adminisua-
tion announced yesterday is that “ill
this ease, they are holding open
the possibility that those funds
could flow to the institutions be-
tween now and June" if budget pic-
ture improves, Carter said. The fi-
nancial crunch was prompted by
lagging receipts for Kentucky's
General Fund, which grew by only
0.8 percent for the first six months
of the fiscal year. Growth must be
nearly 3.9 percent to meet revenue
needs and ensure a balanced budget.

Clinton now must deliver on hold declaration

 

By Tom Raum
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON —- President
Clinton's inaugural address was the
easy part. His next step is to deliver
on his declaration that “to renew
America, we must be bol ."

Clinton will find, as other presi-
dents have, that being bold takes a
lot of work — no rrratter how noble
the oratory. But he starts with a
clean slate and has an advantage ac-
corded no other incoming president
for 16 years: both houses of Con-
gress controlled by his own party.

In a 14-minute address that drew

from Thomas Jefferson, John F.
Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr.
and Ross Perot, the new Democrat-
ic chief executive reprised the ma-
jor themes of the campaign that
propelled him to the White House.

‘Raised in unrivaled prosperity,
we inherit an economy still the
world' s strongest, but weakened by
business failures, stagnant wages,
increasing inequality, and deep di-
visions among our people," Clinton
said.

True to the word ofa candidate
who called fixing the economy his
No.1 priority, Clinton dwelled
mostly on domestic challenges.

the nation's infrastructure and job
skills. universal health insurance. a
national youth service program.

But. in a nod to the foreign policy
crises that clamor for attention,
Clinton said: “When our vital inter-
ests are challenged, or the will and
conscience of the international com-
mtmity is defied, we will act —
with peaceful diplomacy when pos-
sible. with force when necessary."

That was. primarily. a message to
Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, from
the first president to take office with
U.S. forces in harm's way since

Richard Nixon in I969.

"The brave Americans serving
our nation in the Persian Gulf, in
Somalia, and wherever else they
stand are testament to our resolve,"
Clinton added.

With the exception of Harry TnI-
man, who assumed office in 1945
while World War II was still raging.
“Bill Clinton is inheriting the
biggest batch of foreign- -policy con-
fusion in my memory,“ former

WASHINGTON — Excerpts
from President Clinton's inaugural
address.

“When our founders boldly de-
clared America’s independence to
the world and our purposes to the
Almighty, they knew America, to
endure, would have to change. Not
change for change’s sake, but
change to preserve America’s ideals
— life, liberty, the pursuit of happi-

“The urgent question of our time
is whether we can make change our

“Today, a generation raised in
the shadows of the Cold War as-
sumes new responsibilities in a
world warmed by the sunshine of

  
 

freedom but threatened still by an-

US. military keeping close watch

 

By Robert Burns

WASHINGTON — As the nation
saw a new commander in chief take
the oath of office, a skeleton Penta-
gon crew kept watch yesterday on
simmering military crises that Presi-
dent Clinton has inherited in Iraq
and elsewhere.

The new secretary of defense, Les
Aspin, was confirmed by a voice
vote of the Senate three hours after
Clinton assumed power.

And, to place him quickly in the
military chain of command, he was
sworn into office two hours later in a
small ceremony in the hearing room

of the House Armed Services Com-
mittee, which he served as chair-
man.

Aspin will repeat the oath of of-
fice later in a ceremony at the
White House. But he is now offi-
cially in charge of the Pentagon.

“That will be for show, this one's
for dough; this one counts," Aspin
said just before he took the oath
from David 0. “Doc" Cooke, the
Pentagon's director of administra-
tron.

The nation‘s military structure —
from the Joint Chiefs of Staff on
down — remained ready to respond
to their new president‘s command.

"There was absolutely no break"

handed off to Clinton, said Gen.
Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs.

“We were pleased as members of
the armed forces to say goodbye to a
great commander in chief and to
welcome a new one," Powell said in
an interview with CNN.

We must do what America does
best: offer opportunity to all and

mistaken.

“I think President Clinton is most
certainly up to the task, and you
can be sure the armed forces of the
United States are ready, willing and
able to support the president in any
decisions he might have to make,"
Powell said.

Powell added that Saddam, for
the moment, “has chosen not to try
to challenge us, which I think is for
a moment wise on his pan."
