Speeches begin

lobbying push

By C.A. DUANE BONIFER
Editorial Editor

Durirg the early '705, State Rep.
Ernesto Scorsone remembers when
students were fighting for the right
to have a voting student member on
each of the state's universities’
board of trustees.

Because the students effectively
lobbied state officials, a voting stu-
dent member was placed on each
board.

Scorsone told a group of about 30
students from four state universities
yesterday at the UK Faculty Club
that he hopes they are just as en-
ergetic as the students of the ‘705
were.

Yesterday‘s event marked the
kickoff of the UK Student Govern-
ment Association ‘5 lobbying effort.

David Botkins, co-chairman of
SGA's lobbying effort, said he was
satisfied with the event, though he
would have liked to have seen a
larger turnout among UK students.
“It’s really refreshing to see stu-
dents who are concerned with edu-
cation in our state,“ he said.

With higher education facing a
budget shortfall of about 89.4 mil-
lion, Scorsone said it is imperative
that students across the state join
together to lobby the General As»
sembly for higher education.

When the Kentucky Council on
Higher Education was considering a
midyear tuition increase earlier this
fall, Scorsone said the opposition

Graduation
the first

for program

By JULIE ESSELMAN
Staff Writer

The College for Living Program
awarded certificates to 19 retarded
people last night upon completion d
a semester of classes at UK.

The program, which is run
through the Bluegrass Association
For Retarded Citizers, enables peo-
ple with mild to moderate retarda-
tion to attend classes in a college
setting, said Coordinator Laurie
Kanfonen.

Although the College for Living
Program is already established in
Paducah, Louisville and Frankfort.
this is the first year it has operated
on the UK campus, Kanfonen said.
Participants range in age from i8 to
60.

“We were real pleased when we
got 19 (students)," she said. “We
hopewecanexpandit.”

Agencies in the Lexington area
saw the need for recreational activ-
ities and the teaching of functional
skills to retarded persons, Kanfonen
said. The University provided rooms
for the students to meet once a week
for classes.

This semester the program of-
fered a cooking class, which taught
safety skills and the preparation of
meals, and a course titled “What to
Do, Where to Turn," which em-
phasized proper action in emergen-

voiced by the state's college stu-

dents was an encouraging sign.
“That‘s a lesson for us advocates

of higher education,” he said. “That

activism has worked in the past and

it can work in the future.”

Before Scorsone spoke to the

crowd, State Sen. Mike Moloney,
chairman of the appropriations and
revenue committe, told the students
that the prospects for higher educa-
tion funding are not bright, but if
students join together, the problem
canbesolved.

Scorsone, a member of the house
education committee, said one way
to raise revenue for higher educa-
tion is by conforming to the federal
tax code. Gov.-elect Wallace Wilkin-
son said during his gubernatorial
campaign that he was against hav-
ing the state conform to federal
standards.

Scorsone said one issue relating to
higher education is already being
discussed by lawmakers in the se-
lection process for the appointment
of members of board of trustees.

“Probably this biennium has illus-
trated the need for a strong board of
trustee members," he said.

For too long, Scorsone said, ap-
pointments to boartk have been po-
litical. What needs to be established
is a citizen community committee
that would review and screen pro-
spective BOT members and then
make recommendations to the gov-
ernor.

cy situations. After these classes,
participants took part in arts activ-
ities such as music, drama and
dance.

“They‘ve loved coming to UK and
being in college," Kanfonen said. “A
lot of them have seen brothers and
sisters go to college, and they con-
sider this their turn."

The program will continue next
semester with courses in money
management and communications
skills, Kanfonen said. “We try to
teach skills they can use," she said.
Students who participated this fall
may continue with the program for
as long as they want.

“I loved it," said Billy Martin. “I
liked the cooking class best. I‘ll be
back next year.”

“It‘s been pretty good, a lot of
fun,“ said Bruce Anderson, another
student in the program.

The five teachers in the program,
four of whom are UK students, vol-
unteered for their positions. Robin
Spiller, a social work major who will
graduate in December, taught the
cooking and dance class. “It’s been
fun," she said. “I‘ve really enjoyed
it. It’s been rewarding."

“They’re geat classes," said stu-
dent Allen Bryant. “I’ve met nice

people. "

Louise Roselle, wife of UK presi-
dent David Roselle, attended the re-
ception in the Student Center to
hand out the certificates to the par-
ticipants. “I think this is a wonder-
ful program," she said. “l'm so glad
UK is able to participate in it. I’m
happy for (the students). The

She said she will now investigate

Nichols is part of a travelim

Reagan says more arms agreements
necessary, criticizes detente period

By w. DALE NELSON
Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Presi-
dent Reagan pledged yesterday to
“keep right on marching" toward
further arms agreements after next
week‘s expected treaty signing, but
he said the United States must not
be lulled into a new period of de-
tente allowing a secret \Soviet mili-
tary buildup.

Less than a week before his sum-
mit meeting with Soviet leader Mik-
hail Gorbachev, Reagan had harsh
words for that period of broadly im-
proved relations with the Soviet
Union.

“More than a decade ago. there
was a warming in U.S.—Soviet affairs
that we called ‘detente.’ But while
talking friendship, the Soviets
worked even faster at the largest
military buildup in world history.
They stepped up their aggression
around the world. They became
more repressive at home. We do not
want mere words. This time we‘re
after true peace," Reagan said.

“in the excitement of the summit,
the treaty signing and all the rest,
we must not forget that peace

means more than arms reduction."
he said.

in a speech to high school seniors
and their parents in JileSOllVlllf‘
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum. Rea—
gan said he and Gorbachev will
“have words about Soviet expansio-
nism" during their three days of
meetings in Washington.

And he told one of the students
during a question-and-answer ses-
sion later that in his talks with Gor-
bachev he might find himself “bend—
ing his ear" on what Reagan said
was a need for religious freedom
and other reforms in the Soviet
Union.

One student also asked Reagan to
defend his “Star Wars" space-based
missile defense plan. prompting the
president to compare it to ”a gigan-
tic gas mask.“

Reagan recalled that gas masks
were retained after poison gas was
outlawed. The Strategic Defense ini-
tiative, he said. was "a gigantic gas
mask and maybe . . the thing that
could bring about the end of nuclear
missiles."

The president made no reference

KICK

Beginning with the surprise suc-

BOSTON — A reprsentative of a
major tobacco company has ac-
knowledged that smoking is related
to cancer, heart and lung disease,
an admission that could substantial-
ly improve the chances of suits
against tobacco manufacturers, an
anti-smoking group said yesterday.

Members of the Tobacco Products
Liability Project at Northeastern
University Law School said the ad-
mission was disclosed in a govern-

A spokesman for R.J. Reynoltk

accuracy.

ST. PAUL DE VENCE, France —
Black author James Baldwin, who
became an articulate and some-
times angry voice decrying racism
in the United States through his nov-
els, plays and poetry, died in the
hilltop town on the Mediterranean
where he took refuge “from the
madnessofAmerica.“

Baldwin, 63, died of stomach can-
cer on Monday night, his publisher
said.

His best known works included
“Go Tell It on the Mountain,“ his
first novel, published in 1953; “Notes
of a Native Son," “Evidence of
Things Not Seen,“ and most recent-
ly, “Harlem Quartet.”

France was Baldwin‘s adopted
country and he lived here for 40
years, the last 16 in St. Paul de

that the “three major health prob
lems related to smoking were can-

disease."

The private meeting was held
Sept. 14 in connection with Rey-
nolds’ announcement of a new, low-
tar cigarette, said the memo written
by Dr. Ronald M. Davis, director of
the Office of Smoking and Health of
the national Centers for Disease

Control.

Davis wrote that he was “sur—
prised" when Hutt said smoking was
related to heart and lung disease
and cancer.

“I asked if his explanation of the
health benefits that he attributed to
the new cigarette was part of the
press conference briefing earlier
that day. He said that it was not,
and in effect asked not to be quoted
as saying that smoking was hazard-

Frame was “a refuge away from

His life here, he once said, “was

great advocate of personal and ra-
cial freedom."

In a letter delivered Monday to
Davis and Richard Daynard, a pro-
fessor at Northeastern Law School

memo “inaccurate“ and said it did
not correctly report what he said at
the meeting.

Hutt said in his letter that when he
mentioned the link between smoking
and disease, he prefaced his re-
marks by stating that “critics of cig-
arettes" associated smoking with
health problems, but that he was not
expressing the opinion of the tobac-
co company. He also denied asking
Davis not to quote his remarks.

A secretary at Hutt‘s Washington
law office said he would be unavail-
able for comment until Dec. 7.

The newspaper Le Monde de-

Baldwin decided early on that his
pen would be his most effective
weapon against racism and into]-
erance.

In the early 19605, he argued that
blacks must save whites from their
own, selfdestructive insensitivity.
In the 19705, he urged that blacks
seize power from whites.

“Black people don't believe any-
thing white people say anymore."
Baldwin said in an interview with
The Associated Press in 1983.

“I am absolutely sure that what i

“I remember very clearly how he

In 1986, President Francois Mitter-
rand named him to the Legion of
Honor. France's highest honor.
"Getting this award from the coun-

adopted me,“ Baldwin later said.

Sol Stein. president of Stein & Day
publishers. said his friendship with
Baldwin dated to high school days in
New York City. He said he was
there when Baldwin received an au-
thor‘s biographical questionnaire
from Alfred Knopf. publisher of “Go
Tell It on the Mountain."

“He couldn't stand the idea of
filling in the blanks." Stein said, so
he turned the questionnaire over and
wrote an impromptu essay about his
life. Stein said that essay became

Small, wiry. witty and With a Gal-

Aug. 2. 1924 in Harlem. the son of a
preacher. The eldest of nine chil-
dren. he grew up amid growing ra»
cial tensions. fear and hatred. His
father ordained him as a minister
when he was 12. but he later lost his
faith.

His concern for blacks in the Unit-
ed States never wavered. although
his advocacy of violence waned.

Baldwin said in 1983 that integra-
tion was a failure: that Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr. probably died in
vain: equal opportunity meant a
"handful of niggers in the window'."

Hutt‘s remarks undermine the in-
