set for 2 days;
verdict today

By THOMAS J. SULLIVAN
Editorial Editor

When Ulysses S. Davis came to
UK on Dec. 10.1986 —— he said he
came to die. testified Robert Briscoe
in Fayette Circuit Court yesterday.

Davis had held Briscoe, superin-
tendent of the UK services depart-
ment, hostage in Briscoe's office for
more than two hours during the 11-
hour standoff with police on that
day.

Davis. a former UK custodial em-
ployee. holed up in the Peterson
Service Building before police dis-
abled him with a high-pressure fire
hose.

Davis had been wearing a black
ninja outfit and was armed with a
rifle. shotgun, artillery simulator,
samuri sword, dagger. grenade and
“literally hundreds of rounds of am-
munition“ when he was spotted by a
UK PPD worker outside the White
Hall Classroom Building that morn-
ing, said Mike Malone, a prosecut-
ing attorney who is assisting Com—
monwealth Attorney Ray Larson in
the case.

Davis is standing trial in Fayette
County Circuit Court. He is charged
with two counts of 2nd degree as-
sault. three counts of attempted
murder, wanton endangerment in
the lst degree and unlawful impris-
onment in the lst degree.

He has pleaded temporary insani-
ty to the charges.

Yesterday was the first day of tes-
timony in what is expected to be a
twoday trial. A verdict is expected
to be delivered by the jury tonight.

Davis did not testify yesterday.
but is expected to testify today.

In Justice James Keller’s court
yesterday, Briscoe told defense at-
torney Jesse Crenshaw that Davis
said “it‘s time for me to die this
day.“

“He just kept telling me that he
was ready to die," Briscoe said.

Crenshaw said Davis “suffered
from a mental disease or deficiency
that caused him severe depression
and the desire to die. “

Davis had been very upset after
being fired by the University on July
2, 1986. for fighting. said Wally
Skiba. director of Human Resource
Services.

Skiba said Davis contended that
he was treated unfairly by the Uni-
versity. and that his story had not
been given.

“He felt he'd been set up,“ Skiba
said.

Davis claimed he fought only in
self-defense. Davis appealed, but it
was denied. Skiba said.

University regulations state that
“if you fight or engage in a fight and
it‘s not self defense. then you're ter-
minated." Skiba said.

A bound Ulysses S. Davis III is br0ught to trial
yesterday morning. Davis is charged with three

Davis had been kicked out of his
apartment and that unpaid bills

“He just felt like the University
gave him a raw deal." Briscoe said.

“He made the comment that it

Reagan signs bill,
vows to fight boosts

By STEVEN KOMAHOW
Associated Press

WASHINGTON ~ President Rea»
gan yesterday signed legislation re-
viving the Gramm-Rudman budget»
balancing law and vowed that “the
big spenders in Congress will have a
fight on their hands."

In a Rose Garden ceremony. Rea-
gan put his signature to a bill that
would require $23 billion in deficu
reductions in the fiscal year that be-
gins tomorrow, and a balanced bud—
get by fiscal 1993. It would cut mili-
tary and domestic programs across-
the-board if its goals are not met.

The president complained bitterly
about the legislation. saying (‘on-
gress was seeking to raise taxes or
cut the Pentagon budget to comply
with it. He had no choice but to sign
it. he said. because it included an
urgently needed increase in the na-
tional debt limit.

”I will not allow the American
people to be blackmailed into higher
taxes,“ Reagan said. repeating his
call to trim “pork-barrel spending“
that he said was at the root of the
deficits.

“The big spenders in CongreSs
will have a fight on their hands." he
said. adding that those who expect
him to agree to tax hikes or defense
cuts were “nuts.“

Reagan‘s harsh words at the cere-
mony contrasted sharply with his
statements earlier yesterday before

an audience of international imanr
(‘icrs critical of the huge l‘ S (it‘ll
cit.

Then. he praised the bill as "a sig-
nal that America is not backing
down from its responsibilities ”

In a speech to a joint meeting of
the World Bank and the lnternation-
al Monetary Fund. the president
called for a cooperative effort
among the world‘s financial powers
to help Third World nations solvc
their debt crisis. But he said he can
not Ieecture others without dealing
first with America's own problems.

“lt is imperative that the t'nited
States consistently reduce its federal
deficit spending." Reagan said. tak-
ing note of the Gramm-Rudman bill

"lt should be seen as a signal that
America is not backing down from
its responsibilities." he said Hc
then called on Japan and West Ger
many “to find the political gumption
to stimulate their economies without
re-igniting the fires of inflation "

Reagan‘s support helped the origi-
nal Gramm-Rudman become law in
1985. At that time. it included the au-
tomatic spending cuts later thrown
out by the Supreme (‘ourt

The president's enthusiasm for thc
law has cooled smce the Democrats
took control of the Senate this year
He said Democrats were trying to
use it to force him to accept a tax
increase or cuts in military spend-
ing.

FRANKFORT — Coalcounty
lawmakers asked Gov. Martha
Layne Collins yesterday to delay
calling a special legislative ses-
sion to deal with workers‘ com-
pensation.

But Collins said there is noth-
ing to delay because there is no
timetable for the session.

“You can‘t delay something
that‘s not set." Collins said.

Sen. Charles Berger. D-Harlan,
who organized the meeting. ac-
knowledged the request may
have been premature. but he also
said the dozen lawmakers in at-
tendance wanted to state their
positions fortherecord.

 

Lawmakers seek delay of session

Berger said more time is
needed to study the effect on the
coal industry of the various plans
to retire the program‘s estimated
$1.7 billion debt. Most of the pro—

ls call for annual payments
of $110 million with the coal in»
dustry picking up the largest
share.

“Until we have some of those
answers. we feel we need a little
more time.“ Berger said.

The legislators also offered
their own alternative to the pro
posal for a surcharge on workers‘
compensation imurance premi-
ums.

Berger said a levy on each ton
of coal mined may be a more
equitable way of distributing the
burdenonthe industry.

"We're very concerned that the
person employing 10 or 12 people
will go out of business." Berger
said.

Other legislators also acknowl-
edged the coal industry will have
to pay a big chunk of the bill.

"Coal will have to pay more
than it‘s paying (butt haw
fair is fair?" asked Rep. Roger
Noe. D-Harlan.

Collins promised to provide the
legislators with any technical as-
sistance they need but also said
the eventual compromise will not
please everyone.

"We are not going to have a
perfect bill and we are not going
to have a bill that everybody‘s
goim to like." she said.

Kool Ray and the Polaroidz is
composed of Tom Rickerson on
bass. Richie Lee Teegarden on gui-

DeBourbon said he hopes Kool
Ray will become a Top 40 band in
the near future.

”That's definitely in the back of
our minds now,“ he said. “That‘s
what we want. We‘ve been together
eight years. and we’re slowly but
surely making a name for our-

talents but may not have had the
breaks yet," according to Jeff Slone,
marketing director of Mid State Dis-
tributors.

Slone said Miller‘s involvement
with bands differs from other brew-
ers who choose only one popular
band to promote.

Slone said the promotion of a vari-
ety of smaller bands as opposed to
one large band is “more beneficial
inalotofways.“

He said this “helps bands that are
up‘and-coming, and from a business
standpoint. it gets people into the
smaller places where our product is

Kool Ray got involved with Miller
in the fall of ’85 when it did a show-
case performance for Miller at the
