I Kentucky Kernel APR 1 8 1994 Gibler bows out of race their future plans. F ormer candidate throws support to Jones By Lance Williams News Editor The race for the top spot in the Student Government Association became a little less crowded yester- day as Krista Gibler announced that she is dropping out of the race to support two-time candidate T.A. Jones. “This has been a hard campaign. It's had many ups and downs, but through it all we hope UK has real- ized that changes must take place in SGA," Gibler said. She criticized the SGA for be- coming a “bank" for student organ- izations, a “resume builder" for the members and an “elitist organiza- tion ostracizing those they are sup- posed to represent.“ Jones said he was “excited" to have Gibler and running mate Eric Smith supporting on his campaign. The two candidates met and decid- ed on Thursday night that Gibler would end her campaign and be- come part of Jones' campaign. “Our platforms and our ideas were similar," Jones said. “Instead of fighting each other, we want to work together. We were talking about the election, and we real— ized that we didn‘t want these other yahoos to get in there." Gibler said joining Jones' campaign was the best way to see some of her ideas implemented next year in SGA. “Personally, I believe _, that they are the only hope for UK." Gibler said in a prepared statement. “They have the vision, the moti- vation and the charisma to make UK the best student service univer- sity in the nation. GIBLER ' “Their ideas and rationale have always been similar to ours. When approaching them, they have been open-minded, knowledgeable and considerate." Jones said he believed Gibler supporters will join him in the cam- paign, as well. “She realized that her vote could push us over the top," Jones said, who add- ed the endorsement of Gi- bler was a “major boost" for his campaign. “Gibler and us, we're the only two that aren‘t insid- ers," Jones said. . “We decided as a team that we are going to do it." Jones said he hasn‘t of- fered Gibler an SGA posi- tion if he wins the election. “If they want to help out, that‘s fine," said Jones, who said he has talked to other candidates about “With most of the rest of them, it‘s either an all-or-nothing thing," Jones said. Gibler has had several bumps along her campaign, which began with an unofficial announcement near the end of last semester. In the first week of March, she was arrested for slapping her boy- friend after a party. In addition, a campaign worker who was gathering signatures to help her get placed on the ballot was fired for illegally collecting signatures from students in the Mar- garet I. King MircoLabs. SGA Elections Board chairman Brian Shrensker said he will call the company that will provide the vot- ing machines tomorrow to get Gi- bler‘s name removed from the bal- lot. If it is removed, the other candi- dates‘ names will remain in the same positions. OFF-BEAT BALL -< 9“ x at “a ..

FONIUIWKUM Sta" Staff report Student Government Associa- tion elections are scheduled for this Wednesday and Thursday. and the presidential campaigns are gearing up the for the final days of the 1994 campaigns. Here is an alphabetical listing of the plans for each presidential ticket for the last couple of days. T. A. Jones-Benny Ray Bai- Iey The duo of Jones and Bailey will continue to make campaign stops during the next two days and will hold forums across cam- pus. Jones said he is planning to hold a march on either Wednes- day or Thursday from the Kir- wan-Blanding Complex to the Student Center or vice-versa to show unity among his supporters. He said plans had not been fi- nalized, but he said having a couple of hundred people in the march would be a successful event. He is also planning to have a phone bank at an off-campus lo- cation to get students interested in voting. Tracy Rogers-Mark Eng- strom Former SGA president Scott Crosbie endorsed the Rogers ticket yesterday, saying that the foremost reason for his support was the pair‘s concern with the Kentucky General Assembly. their effort to get funding for UK's new library and projects in the UK Community College Sys- tern. Rogers called the Crosbie en- dorsement “a big deal." She said her campaign will hold a final meeting tomorrow night at 9 pm. at either the Kap- pa Alpha social fraternity house or the Kappa Alpha Theta social sorority house. Clinton tries diplomacy in Bosnia By John Diamond Associated Press WASHINGTON — The United States will respond militarily if asked by the UN. conunander in Bosnia, President Clinton said yes- terday, but added, “We have a dip- lomatic role and we are doing our best to fulfill it." Clinton, speaking to reporters at Newport News-Williamsburg Inter- national Airport in Virginia, said that UN. negotiations with the war- ring factions in Bosnia had regis- tered “some progress.“ He pointed to the release yester- day of 16 Canadian soldiers, who were among more than 150 UN. peacekeepers being kept under vir- tual house arrest by Bosnian Serbs. “They are trying to hammer out an agreement that everyone can live with," Clinton said of the UN. ne- gotiators. “We have a diplomatic role and we are doing our best to fulfill it." Asked if there would be further US. military involvement in Bos- nia. Clinton said, “It depends on the UN. commander on the ground." Earlier yesterday, the us. special envoy to Bosnia said the adminis- tration foresees no escalation of NATO military power in Bosnia de- spite a tactical victory by Serbian forces around Gorazde. “We're going to have to find some way to negotiate our way out of this," Ambassador Charles Red- man said on NBC‘s “Meet the Redman‘s comments came as Bosnian Serbs said they were end- ing the siege of Gorazde but sent tanks into the Muslim enclave. Redman said the Serbs control the Gorazde pocket “militarily and tactically," while the city itself re- mains in Bosnian hands. Also yesterday. Sen. Joseph Bid- cn, D-Del., the second-making Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said UN. forces should pull out of Bosnia and the United States should lift the arms embargo there. And for- mer Secretary of State Henry Kis- singer said the Serbs have almost everything they want. “I don't think we have a military option," Kissinger said. Ejup Ganic, vice president of the Republic of Bosnia, portrayed the fight around Gorazde as a Serbian victory. “It is just as tragic as you can im- agine," Ganic said on ABC's “This Week With David Brinkley."

Student proud of Singapore’s stand on crime By D.A. Carroll Contributing Writer Shafie Ahmad Zin came to the United States from Singapore in 1989. He‘s lived in Wisconsin, he‘s been to New York City and he‘s visited a couple of other metropoli- tan sprawls. This 28-year-old communications teaching assistant knows that urban crime plagues these areas, but, com- ing from a land that has little toler- ance for lawbreakers, Zin also knows something about preven- tion. It‘s all about consequences, he says. Falter Michael Pay, the 18-year- old Ohio man who was arrested in Singapore recently for defacing au- tomobiles, an infi'action that is pun- ishable by six skin-searing lashes with a bamboo cane. Some Americans argue the scn~ tence is much too harsh for more INSIDE: -Sunny and miid today; high in the mid-70s. 'lncreeslng clouds tonight with a 30 percent chance at showers; low between 50 and 55. «Cbudy with a 30 percent of showers tomorrow; high in the act of juvenile delinquency. Zin sees it differently. “Let me give you a description of my country." Zin says as he takes postcards from a desk drawer. His postcards show a city at night, sparkling with majestic beauty. “It's an island city. It‘s clean. It‘s drug free. It‘s crime free — relatively speaking." Zin says. “Our laws are very strict.“ “It would make big, big news if there‘s a murder." Zin considers his country‘s pun- ishments, such as canings adminis- tered by martial artists, effective deterrents for potential wrongdoers. And although caning has been perceived as a brutal practice by human rights activists, there are some misconceptions, Zin said. The martial artist's job is not to hurt the subject. only to apply the punishment, he said. The lashes are to only strike the See SINGAPORE, Back Page ~ .

The luncheon was one of several events that took place during the day. Ray Betts, who has served as di- rector of the Gaines Center since its inception, said the Gaines pro- gram has been a successful endeav- or. “We have a good thing going. and we would like to refine it," Betts said. Betts, a history professor, ex- plained that the center is unique to state universities. “To the best of my knowledge, we are the first in the country,” Betts said. At the celebration, honorary fel- lowships were given to John R. and Joan B. Gaines who endowed the program. The Gaines program encourages participation in the study of public issues and the humanities. Gaines fellowships are given out to undergraduate students who are outstanding academically and show interest in the humanities. Junior fellows receive $1,000 for participating in a multi-disciplinary seminar. Fellows in their senior years in- dependently work and research for a thesis that is written on a topic in the humanities. For their work, they receive $1.500. Ten two-year fellowships are awarded each year. At the celebration. Ghada Qaisi, a graduating fellow, thanked those in the Gaines program for her ex- periences at the center. “I am very fortunate to have been a part of all of this,“ Qaisi said. To show her gratitude, Qaisi pre- sented the program with two brass horsehead bookends. “I have a shelf picked out for those,” she said. Qaisi held a discussion later in the day on her thesis topic, “Wom- en of the Intafada: Crisis and So- cial Change,” along with junior Gaines Fellow Don Puckett who discussed “The Nuremberg Trials in Consideration of Natural and Positive Law.” Betts also pointed out that the center is beginning a staff travel scholarship for faculty to fund study away from the University. Other events included the pres- entation of a group project by Steve Allen and Amy Richardson, titled “The Dictionary of Famous Kentucky Quotations," and the in- troduction of the 1994-95 Gaines Fellows. Selected as fellows for the 1994- 95 and 1995-96 academic years were Jane Ann Bardin, Kelly Chin- en, Ann Hendricks, Julie Lips- chultz, Julie Marrett, Jason Renzel- mann, Evan Reynolds, Laurie Warnecke, Delmar Watkins, Ame- lia Weinfurtner and Avi Weitzman. UK, city sponsor arboretum fest By Cella Love Staff Writer The windy weather didn‘t keep hundreds of people from increasing their awareness on environmental issues and their knowledge of gar- dening and tree care this weekend. On Saturday, the UK and Lex- ington-Fayette Urban County Gov- ernment sponsored Arbor Day at the UK Arboretum — an educa- tional and family fun day with speakers and special events. Upon their arrival, participants received free blue spruce seedlings toplant at home. The arboretum provided some form of entertainment for everyone among the three tented areas that housed displays, children’s activi- ties and speakers. The man with the red suspend- ers, Roger B. Swain, host of PBS- TV’s popular horticulture show “The Victory Garden," was the fea- tured speaker. “I see gardening as a collection of skills to be used to solve the world’s problems instead of being just a means to escape and get away from the world’s problems," Swain said.

April it. 10.4 -a By John Dlemond Associated Press WASHINGTON — Support- ers of a ban on assault weapons are 15 to 20 votes short in the House of Representatives, a key congressman said yesterday. In the latest head count by House Democratic leaders, a bill banning assault-style weapons such as Uzis and AK—47s is shy of a majority, raising the pros poet of a major disagreement be- tween the House and Senate on anti-crime legislation. “I find it very surprising with all the mayhem going on in the streets,“ Rep. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said in an interview Sunday. “The House voted against an assault weapons ban two years ago, but a lot has changed since then." Schumer is chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on crime and leading sponsor of the assault weapons ban. The Senate last fall passed a $22 billion crime bill that included the weapons ban. The House version, scheduled for continued debate this week, has no ban. Differences between House and Senate bills are common. But if the disagreement packs enough politi- cal weight, it can sink an entire bill. Schumer said aggressive lobby- ing by the National Rifle Associa- tion is behind the soft support for the assault weapons ban in the House. “Members kept coming to me and saying, ‘book, I voted for the Brady bill. I thought it was the right thing to do and the gun lobby came down very hard on me and I can't vote against them,’ ” Schu- mer said. Schumer himself has been a tar- get of NRA lobbying, including a Assault Weapon ban short only a few votes in House full-page ad in USA Today that la- beled him “the criminal's best friend in Congress." The NRA was closed yesterday and a spokesman for the lobbying group could not be reached. The Brady bill, signed into law last year, created a five-day waiting period and procedure for back- ground checks on people seeking to buy a handgun. Sen. Joseph Biden. D-Del. and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Sunday that he will insist that the final crime bill ban assault weapons. “I want a crime bill with assault weapons (banned) in it," Biden said on NBC’s “Meet the Press." “I will not trade off anything for that." One reason the House crime bill lacks the assault weapons provision is the opposition of Rep. Jack Brooks, D-Texas. the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Schumer and other House mem- bersarelnpingtogetavoteon the weapons ban as a wparate bill. If it passes, House-Senate ne- gotiators working on the crime bill would probably include the ban in the final version, Schumer said. If the House defeats the ban, the negotiators would have to re- solve the differences between the House and Senate bills. Schumer said he was disclosing the head count in hopes of gener‘ ating calls and letters to lawmak- ers from constituents who support the assault weapons ban. Rep. Bill McCollum, R-Fla., also a member of the crime sub- committee, said he might accept a crime bill containing an assault weapons ban but adtbd, “I don’t think that‘s the issue.“ Appearing on NBC, McCollum said, “It’s like a police officer told me in Michigan the other day: The problem isn't repeating rifles, it’s repeating offenders."
