to UK criticized

By DAVID A. HALL
Staff Writer

The University of Louisville
could be losing a unique advan-
tage it holds over UK if one state
senator gets his way.

Senator Jack Trevey, R-
Lexington, has introduced a bill
that would remove funding from
U of L’s equine management
program to fund the development
of a similar program at UK.

Trevey’s bill, which is similar
to the bill that passed in 1986 to
establish the U of L program,
would give UK a separate fund-
ing source to establish the pro-
gram.

Funding for the U of L pro-
gram is generated from it per»
centage of wagers made at Ken-
tucky‘s quarter, thoroughbred
and hamess racetracks.

In its first three years, U of L
had been given more than
$600,000 a year from the wagers.

The bill also would ask UK’s
president to appoint a non-
compensated equine industry ad-
visory commission. The commis-
sion would consist of five mem-
bers, three of whom would
represent Kentucky's equine in-
dustry.

The commission would make
recommendations to the presi-

 

 

Students to call
state lawmakers

By TOM SPALDlNG
Executive Editor

UK students will be asked to
join in the school’s lobbying ef-
fort next week by putting their
mouths to telephone receivers
and bending a few legislators'
ears in Frankfort.

Organizers say they’ll conduct
a phone bank at various locations
around campus from Feb. 26 to
March 2, allowing students to
call a toll-free number and leave
a message for their state repre-
sentatives and senators in support
of higher education.

The process will take only two
minutes. according to John Elder,
the event’s primary organizer.

Elder said that a two-minute
phone call can have a big effect
on lawmakers —— especially if a
lot of students call them.

“Legislators say they want to
hear from constituents, right now.
not next week. not next month."

the nation's only equinc~related business program. according to program
spokesperson Terry Burch.

Burch said that the three students that have graduated from the U of L
program have gotten jobs in the horse industry.

Robert Taylor, dean of the U of L Business School, said that when the
bill for the L' of L program was being considered two years ago, he didn’t
think there was concern over where the program was going to be placed.

Fixing leaks

Bush administration becoming more restrictive in dealing with White House press

By WALTER R. MEARS
Assocrated Press

WASHINGTON ~ In the taunt-
ing chatter of the dugout, they'd
call it “rabbit ears" 7— ballpark
slang for the way some players
seem to hear every boo and jeer, no
matter how long and loud the
cheers of the fans.

The condition now appears to be
afflicting a retired Ivy League first
baseriian.

But then, George Bush has com-
pany. among presidents as well as
ballplayers. They‘d like the ap-
plause to be unanimous. And they
keep going to bat anyhow.

So hours alter Bush said on the

ANALYSIS

The presidential pique apparently
stemmed from critical accounts of
his comments at No. 37, on Mon-
day, Feb. 12, which turned out the
next day to have been misleading at
best.

Last Wednesday, he said he
hadn‘t known that what he said
wouldn't survive a day‘s events.

On Thursday, irked, the president
said he was going to change his
ways and stop holding so many
questionand-answer sessions be-
cause he wasn‘t going to get burned
any more.

Bush has been holding presiden»
tial press conferences at a rate iie\er
approached in the era oI teleViscd
questions and answers. There’s been
nothing like it since the early years

Samples that

and many of his sessions were off
camera

Bush was supposed to have trou-
ble with communications — at
least by comparison with the
smooth old professional, Ronald
Reagan — and he has spent a year
proving otherwise.

And it's working.

Thirteen months into his term,
Bush has poll approval ratings far
beyond those of his predecessors
Reagan included. His job perfor-
mance is gaining the approval of
75 to 80 percent in the major pub«
lic opinion surveys. All those news
conferences have helped build that
standing.

But that constant exposure can be
wearing, even grating, especially
when it leads to adverse commen-
tary about the answers, some of
which have indeed been misleading.

Hence the rebuke, which wasn‘t
unusual, although such flareups
usually come when a president is
having political trouble. Bush’s
political stock is up, so there is
not likely to be a major shift in the
way he does business. communica-
tion included. It's working too well
for that.

Among the specific items on
which Bush comments have turned
out to be misleading:

~The president said Feb. l2 that
he didn’t think it was time for a
conference of the four allied powers
of World War II on German reunifi-
cation, “not at this juncture.” The
next day, the United States, the So-
viet Union, Britain and France
agreed on such a conference.

said no such plans were in the
works. He then said there would be
no set agenda for Malta, and went
there with 21 proposals to be dis-

~Shortly after the administration
banned high-level exchange visits
with China because of the military
crackdown on democracy demon-
strators, two Bush aides were sent
on a secret mission to Beijing.
They went again in December.
Bush took shelter in semantics,
saying he hadn‘t banned contacts,
only exchanges.

Episodes like those have led to
complaints that Bush and his aides
sometimes mislead the press and
