excluded by
Ockerman

By TOM SPALDING
Executive Editor

A 10-person search committee
was named yesterday by the UK
Board of Trustees to nominate
UK’s next president, but trustees
were divided over who the student
representative should be.

UK Board of Trustees Chair-
man Foster Ockerman selected
Teel Bruner, a 25-year-old, third-
year medical student, to fill that
position on the search committee.

But Student Government Asso-
ciation President Scan Lohman
objected, saying that the student
representative should have been
decided by the student body.

Lohman proposed a motion
calling for the board to override
Ockerman‘s decision, saying he
“excluded the only student mem-
ber of the board" and “is outside
the spirit of the UK governing
regulations."

Ockemian called Lohman’s mo-
tion out of order, saying he had al-
ready made appointments and that
he had complied with UK's gov-
erning regulations.

Lohman appealed, but the board
sustained Ockerman‘s ruling by a

a lot of money on a presi-
dential search ..."

10»7 vote.

Ockerman named himself chair-
man of the search committee and
appointed board members Edythe
Jones Hayes, Nicholas J. Pisacano,
Billy Wilcoxs‘on and Henry R
Wilhoit.

All of the trustees on the com-
tnittee except Pisacano were either
appointed or reappointed to the
board by Gov, Wallace Wilkin-
son.

Also nanted to the search com—
mittee were Judith L. Rhoads,
community college representative;
faculty representatives Carolyn S.
Bratt, William E. Lyons and Loys
L. Mather; Bruner; and Paul Sears,
who will serve as the committee‘s
secretary.

Lohman said that because the
faculty and community college

system are allowed to elect their
representatises', students should be
able to as well.

“This is a simple courtesy that
should be gisen to the student
body." he told the board.

But ()ckcrnian said that it would
have been impossible to include
all University interests on the
search committee.

”As you look at the make—up of
the committee you cart see that
one whole segment of the univer-
sity was excluded from the pro-
cess because there is no one on the
board that I can appoint that could
represent that segment of the int
\ersity." ()ckcrman said.

spend
Christmas
in Russia

By eoaev KING

Staff Writer

Christmas in Odessa? New
Year’s Day in Kiev?

That may seem like cmel and un-
usual punishment for some people.
but for 10 UK students it was a
great way to avoid the holiday
blues.

Bob Flynn and his fellow com—
rades made the long joumey bc—
hind the somewhat softened Iron
Curtain to the Soviet republics of
Russia and the Ukraine over the
Christmas break.

Flynn, a visiting instructor in the
Russian department, organized the
trip for the group, his fifth since
1979.

The students said thatithe trip
gave them a better understanding
of the Soviet Union and its people.

“We‘ve been studying Russian
for a long time and we were just
really curious to know about their
culture," said Lori Gregory, a jun-
ior minoring in Russian.

The students said they were sur-
prised to find that many aspects of
Soviet culture were not so foreign
to them.

American institutions such as
Pepsi, Dirty Harry. Led Zeppelin,
and cartoon characters Tom and
Jerry also were popular among
many Soviets.

But the students said that it was
strange to see Clint Eastwood
speaking Russian.

“It’s especially strange when one
person did all the speaking in the
movie," said Bryce Rich, 3 Russian
major.

UK important to city, Baesler says

By DAVID A. HALL
Staff Writer

Change, but not too much. That
is how Lexington Mayor Scotty
Baesler described the growth of the
city to Donovan Scholars last night
at the Student Center.

“You have got to cherish the val-
ues of the past while at the same
time having the visions enough of
the future," Baesler said. “i think
the biggest challenge we have in
our community is making sure it is
still what we like it) years frotn
now.“

And in keeping with tradition,
Baesler said that Lexington will
continue to work closely with the
University during the 1990s.

”We want to continue working
with the University because it is

such an important asset to our com-
munity and we want to continue
working with them,” he said.

Baesler told about l5() people
that Lexington/Fayette (‘ounty re-
cently began several projects with
UK, and the city has other ideas.

“Our work with the l‘niversity is
just beginning," he said. “Our rela-
tionship with our largest employer,
that probably could be our greatest
opportunity for cultural resources,
is right here at the I’niyersity of
Kentucky."

Among Lexmgton‘s projects
with UK, Baesler cited a network
ing system in whith ll) regional ll‘
brarics, including the Margaret l.
King Library, share information
through the use ol facsimile ma~
chines.

Another project with the lfniyer-

sity is the Virginia Place, a lb-unit
apartment budding that offers sin-
gle mothers no-cost housing and
day-care services while they attend
school or job-training programs.

Connecting downtown with UK
is one project chmgton is interest-
ed in starting, Baesler said

“We have talked to the Lniversi-

Congress convenes for second session,
confronted with an expanded agenda

Assoclatod Press

WASHINGTON _- The “list
Congress convened its second ses~
sion yesterday, facing an agenda
suddenly expanded by the emer
gence of democracy in Eastern I-‘u
rope and a plan to cut Social Secur»
ity taxes at home.

Lingering issues also abound, in-
cluding child care. capitalgains tax~
es and deﬁcit reduction.

Not waiting for President Bush
to send up his owti budget and leg-
islative proposals, the Senate al—
most immediately began debatin: .i
far-reaching plan for cleaning up
tlte air a bill that is more costly
and more sweeping than the
dent wants

Opposition is based more on ge-
ography and competing regional in»
tcrcsts than on party lines

The House made plans for aiioih
cr confrontation for today. an at
tempt to override Bush‘s \eto ot
legislation aimed at preventing the
deportation of Chinese \ltlilt‘ili\
who have sought refuge in the
United States. The House original-
ly passed the hill on a 4(in i vote

“There really ts no good l't‘d‘wlll
to override the presidents vcio un»
less it is just straight-out politiqs.”
said Senate Republican Leader Bob
Dole of Kansas.

Dole said that Bush has done as
much for the students through ad
ITIIIIISULIIIN‘ actions as the bill
would do. But Republicans were
generally conceding Bush:
one-sided defeat.

The president. traveling in the
Midwest said he is hoping to re
new a spirit of cooperation with
Congress. But he attack-ed as “a
sheep in woll‘s clothing" an :llllt~
crime bill sponsored by Sen .lo~
seph R. Biden Ir., D‘Del , chair-
man oi the Senate Judiciarx Coni-
mittca‘.

"It will be tougher on law iii-
forceinent than on criminals Bush
said of the bill. The measure gent-r»
ally would prohibit use \ f tainted

leagues that he’d nearly died of a
pancreas ailment during the long
break, and he accepted hugs and ap»
plause on the House floor.

Outside. a half-dozen House
members arrived on bicycles alter a
two-block trip fmm a congressional
office building to call attention to
plans for Earth Day in the spring.

Democrat Craig Washington was
sworn in to fill the term of the late
Rep. Mickey Leland, one day after
a iiidge back in Texas sentenced
\‘v’ashington to 30 days in jail, ac-
cusing him of leaving legal clients
"in the lurch." Hearings have been
st lieduled for Washington to show
cause why he should not be sent to
jail.

()n the other side of the Capitol.
Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D—
.\‘.Y.. fortnally introduced a bill to
reduce Social Security taxes —— an
idea that had prompted a full-scale
White House attack when he pro-
posed it last month.

Moy nihan says workers are being
deceived because their Social Secur-
ity taxes are being used to make the
federal deficit appear far smaller
than it is.

“These are insurance contribu-
tions, they are premiums paid,"
Moynihan told a news conference.
"They do not belong to the govern-
ment. If we are not going to save
them we should return them."

Has bill, which has drawn wide-
spread intercst but few sponsors,
would roll back the tax increase
that took effect Jan. I and reduce
another scheduled for next year.

That would save a worker w ith
income t“~L‘I' SSISIXI about $600.
and leave the Social Security sys-
tem with just enough tiioi‘iey to
pay retirees” checks. Moynihan
said.

The Bush administration says
such cuts would lead to reductions
in benefits or to efforts to raise oth-
‘c'l’ I;I.\C\'.

Senate Majority Leader George J.
Mitchell. D Maine, told reporters

Moyiiihan's proposal is “develop-
ing what l think is growing sup-
port."

But House Republican Leader
Bob Michel of Illinois said in a let-
ter to Rep. Dan Rostcnkowski, D-
llI., chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, that the
proposed tax cut “could inspire
even more drastic threats to the sys—
tern and ultimately bring it down."

Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, D-S.C.,
a member of the Budget Commit-
tee, did what is seldom done in
Congress these days: He introduced
a bill proposing a tax increase. He
recommended a 5 percent national
sales tax that would exempt food,
health care and housing.

Hollings said that would raise
enough money to roll back Social
Security taxes, cut taxes on capital
gains from stocks and bonds, ex-
pand tax—deductible Individual Re«
tircmeiit Accounts and create a reve-
nue-sharing program for state and
local education.

In advance of Bush’s budget,
which will be submitted on Mon
day, and his State of the Union
message, which will follow on Jan.
31, three of the president’s top
aides met with Republican senators
to discuss the wealth of issues fac-
ing Congress in this election year.

Dole ticked off seven of those is-
sues: the Chinese-student bill,
clean air, expanding child-care as-
sistance, campaign financing rc-
foriii. Bush‘s proposed capital-gains
tax reduction, tougher crime legis-
la'ioi; .inJ the Social Security tax
cut.

ISSUES OF 101ST CONGRESS

USA TODAY/Apple College Information Network

Here's an at-a~glance look at what to expect from the second ses-
sion of the 10151 Congress.

-The peace dividend: A partisan dispute is brewing over how
to spend any savings from defense spending projections. Some want
savings to aid social programs; others want the money to help offset
the deficit.

oForeign aid: Sen, Robert Dole, R- Kan, wants to give money
now going to Israel and Egypt to Eastern Europe. Others want to Cut
aid to El Salvador, under attack since the killing of six U. S priests
There are also members lobbying for Eastern Europe. Panama and the
Nicaraguan rebels.

Ethics: The Senate 5 “Kcating Five” are under investigation for
whether they improperly intervened with federal regulators on behalf
of a failing savings and loan run by one of their campaign contribu-
tors. The Kcating Five are: Dennis DeConcini. D- Ariz.; John
McCain, R Ariz. ., John Glenn, D Ohio; Alan Cranston, D- Calif, and
Donald Rieglc, D— Mich

Also under investigation by the Ethics Committcc: Scn Alfonse
D' Ainato. R- N.Y. accusscd of pressuring Department of Housing
and Urban Development to finance housing projects controlled by
friends and family; Sen. David Durcnbcrgcr, R—Minn., accused of
questionable book-promotion scheme.

oTaxes: Bush may well win his twovycar fight for a lower tax on
capital gains that primarily beneﬁts upper-income taxpayers.

Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N. Y. caught the administration
off-guard by proposing a cut in the Social Security payroll tax.

It may be hard tor Republicans to vote against that but the admin-
istration opposes it because the Social Security surplus makes the
deficit sccms smaller.

~CIean air: Congress hasn’t revised anti-pollution laws since
1977. But a House subcommittee broke a year-long deadlock last ses-
sion and approved an overhaul of the Clean Air Act, requiring strict
controls on auto emissions, factories and other toxic pollutants.

'Child care: The House and Senate passed different bills last scs~
sion but failed to agree on a ﬁnal compromise, which is likely this

~IIealth care: The Pepper Commission is expected to report by
March 1 on changes to the health care system. Proposals under dis-
cussion include insurance for long-term illnesses and health insurance
for the working poor. Progress this year is unlikely.

~Fami|y and medical leave: The House and Senate have ap-
proved bills allowing for employees to take unpaid leave for the birth
or adoption of a child or to care for a seriously ill child or parent.
Leave also is permitted for the serious illness of an employee.

~Civil rights: House and Senate will introduce legislation in re-
sponsc to several 1989 Supreme Court rulings restricting legal rc—
courscs for women and minorities claiming job discrimination. Also,
the House is expected to take up a Senate—passed anti-discrimination
bill for the disabled.

Bill would
create runoff
primary

Associated Press

FRANKFORT, Ky. —— Two
bills with dramatic implications for
Kentucky politicians — to create a
runoff primary and make it possible
for voters to throw rascals out of
ofﬁce — arc wcnding through the
state Senate.

Backers of the bills say they have
high hopes for the legislation, dc-
spitc opposition from Gov. Wal-
lace Wilkinson.

Kentucky, which had runoffs
briefly in the 19305, would become
the 12th state to feature a second
primary.

It would apply to statewide clec~
tions in which no candidate won a
majority in the primary, under the
bill sponsored by Sen. Mike Mol—
oncy, D-chington.

“I think there‘s going to be a
stronger candidate if they have 50
percent of the vote" following a
runoff, Moloncy said after his Sen-
atc Bill 63 was approved yesterday
by the Senate Elections and Consti-
tutional Amendments Committee.

Wilkinson won the Democratic
gubcmatorial nomination with 35
percent of the vote in a crowded
field iii 1987. His victory iii the
general election that November was
virtually assured by the Democrats'
lopsided registration advantage.

Wilkinson has said he is opposed
to runoffs and refused to agree to
such a proposal in the 1988 Getter-
al Assembly.

Critics of runoffs say they make
it harder for minority candidates to
win office, but Moloncy said, “I
don‘t see that as an issue.“

Aside from South Dakota and
Oklahoma, the current primary
states are from the old Confederacy
—— Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, MissisSIppi,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Texas.

The committee also approved
Sen. Joe Meyer's bill to provide for
recall of statewide elected officials
for felony offenses, incompetence,
official misconduct or failure to
perfonn duties.

The secretary of state would have
to determine whether sufficient
grounds for a recall existed _.. a
burden the secretary does not want,
said Ron Ocary, top aide to Secre-
tary of State Bremer Ehrler.

“Carmen" is a story of love.
uncontrolled pmsion and the de-
sire to be free. It is also one of
which most Americans are una-
ware.

But UK vocal instructor and
opera star Diana Davidson, who
plays the fiery Carmen in UK's
production that opens at the Otis
A. Singletary Center tonight,
thinks that is changing.

“Yes I think we’ve seen a lot
of interest in (opera) lately,”
Davidson said after a recent re»
hearsal. “You can tell when you
see them using it in advertising
and I see it a lot now.

“People used to feel that if
they couldn’t go and appreciate

they shouldn’t go. but that's not
the way it is. You should go and
appreciate it on whatever level
you enjoy it."

While European audiencesare
more familiar with opera, Amer-
icans are becoming more appre-
ciative, Davidson said.

“In Europe it is quite indige-

ers will be singing the aria to
each other of the opera that is play-
ing that week. It’s what Broadway
is to us. It’s very much their art
form and grew out of their soil.

“Opera was brOught to the United
States by the social elite and it got
associated with aristocratic snob-
bism. That really doesn’t belong to
opera. i think it is very accessible.
It’s earthy and very immediately ap-
pealing.”

Davidson said she thinks that
modern American attempts at opera
such as “Tommy” by The Who and
“Jesus Christ Superstar” are as val-
id as any opera.

She offered her own deﬁnition of
opera as “basically a drama where
the music propels the drama. It’s
sung instead of spoken. so ‘Jesus
Christ Superstar,’ ‘Tommy,’ all of
those are operas."

The expansion of regional opera
is imminent, according to David-
son, for one main reason.

"It used to be that you’d go to
New York if you wanted a career in
music or opera,” she said. "The

Davidson said she is confident
that a regional company can be
built in Central Kentucky. She
said that she is impressed with
the level of funding for the arts
in Lexington.

“Percentage-wise. Lexington
is unusual for its size (in it how
it funds the arts).” she said. “It
has a very active arts community
and very active ans support. It
continually amazes me. I‘ve
traveled enough to be in other
towns with populations relative
to Lexington. and they don’t
have near the depth or breadth of
talent. There’s a lot going on
here that’s of high quality. It’s
an interesting place to be."

Davidson believes that region-
al opera companies can alleviate
the problem of limited repertoire
that is present today.
