Hate speech

to be t0pic
of UK forum

By Rob Thorne
Contributing Writer

 

The social limits of free speech
will be discussed today in the Old
Student Center Theatre in what
Dean of Students David Stockhani
described as “an open and tree—
wheeling debate."

Tire i’orutn, titled “Hate Speech
vs. The First Amendment." will be
an open discussion oi hypotheticals
and basic ideas that underlie tree
speech.

Douglas Boyd, dean oi the (‘ol-
legc ol‘ Communications and one
of the events' sponsors. said. while
he doesn't belieye l'K students are
“predisposed to use hate speech." it
is something that has concemed the
college for quite some time.

Stockham said he believes some
hate speech occurs at [K but
thinks it has not become as much
of a problem as on other campuses.

"The potential always exists.“
Stockham said. “This may teath
people to deal with their feelings iii
a more constructive manner."

Boyd pointed to increased ratiai
violence on the University of Mas
sachusetts campus and the harsh re-
action a Harvard student received
after hanging a Confederate flag in
her window as examples ol‘ how
hate speech is an important campus
topic.

The forum will begin at noon
and last until about 1:30 p.nl.

Jobs

Continued from Page 1

search, foresees growth in the ser-
vice sector with, for example, retail—
ers. “If the economy keeps moving
along. I think those would be good
places for jobs."

Crouch said that small businesses
have picked up some of the slack in
the job market where big businesses
have left off.

PERQT

Of all the candidates, Haywood
said Ross Perot‘s plan to create jobs
is the most sound.

The Texas billionaire is encour-
aging investment in small business-
es by proposing tax incentives, in-
cluding no capital gains tax on
investments in small businesses that
are starting. The independent candi-
date also is calling for pools of cap-
ital to be created to spread the risk
of a new venture failing across sev-
eral businesses.

QLLNIQN

The Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton
favors ending tax breaks for US.
companies that close down to move
overseas for cheaper labor costs.
and tightening the tax code on for-
eign companies doing business in
the country.

Haywood says those steps are
necessary, but that Clinton must be
careful how far he goes. “I
wouldn‘t want to see it to the point
that you would keep out companies
who are going to bring jobs to the
US.”

Clinton wants to require financial
institutions to reinvest in their com-
munities to ease the credit crunch.
Along those lines, he supports an
investment tax credit and a 50 per»
cent exclusion for individuals mak-
ing long—term investments in new
businesses.

He also favors creating jobs
through renovating the nation‘s
highways. bridges and railroads. He

wants to provide jobs in low—
income areas rebuilding low-
income housing.

Haywood said Clinton should
avoid anything reminiscent of the
New Deal Works Progress Admin-
istration he saw when he was grow-
ing up during the Depression. He
said the WPA was called “We Pid-
dle Around."

The UK economist said creating
those kinds of jobs “just keeps
(people in low-income areas) on a
different kind of welfare payment."

Crouch said he doesn’t see a con-
nection between socro-economic
background and the people coming
to the Career Center. “I see a con-

nection with what they’ve majored
in."

Students who‘ve majored in
health-care professions can more
easily find jobs than students

who‘ve majored in other fields. If

govemment wants to rebuild infra-
structure, Crouch said engineering
majors would benefit in the job
market. Similarly. if education is

the priority, education majors
would benefit.
BQ§H

President Bush favors tax cuts to
spur “entrepreneurial capitalism"
and to aid small businesses.

Bush also supports the North
American Free Trade Agreement.

which he says will create more jobs
for Americans in the long run by
stamping out trade barriers that
make it easier for companies to go
abroad.

Haywood said NAFTA will
create new jobs for Americans “in
Mexico, if you want to migrate."

In Kentucky. the agreement will
mean more sales of tobacco, soy-
beans and grain products, but he
said NAFTA will devastate the ap-
parel industry

Haywood quoted legendary econ-
omist John Keynes: “ ‘In the long
run we‘ll be dead.‘ It‘s the short run
that matters.“
