FRANKFORT — Kentucky State
University President Raymond
Burse submitted his resignation yes-
terday but left the issue undecided
after a vote of confidence from the
board of regents

"I have not made a final decision
regarding the board's rejection" of
his letter of resignation. Burse said,
"I‘ll have to talk to my family re-
garding the board‘s action today. "

He would not say when he would
talk to his family or make a final de—
cision. He also noted the board could
not block his resignation.

Hijacking
ends, Arabs
slip away

By MICHAEL GOLDSMITH

ALGIERS. Algiers — Hijackers
with "eyes of sharks" slipped away
yesterday after wiping their finger-
prints from a Kuwaiti jet. and 31
hostages stumbled from the aircraft
that was a prison of fear. brutality
and death for 15 days,

The Shiite Moslem gunmen had
murdered two passengers Since hi-
jacking Kuwait Airways Flight 422
on April 5 on a flight from Bangkok
to the Persian Gulf sheikdom with
112peopleaboard,

They agreed to free their remain—
ing hostages after arranging safe
passage with Algerian officials who
mediated a settlement, The hijack-
ers had demanded that Kuwait free
17 pro-Iranians convicted and im-
prisoned for bombing the US. and
French embasSies in December
1983.

Among the passengers on the Boe-
ing 747 were three cousins of the Ku-
waiti ruler. Sheik Jaber Al-Ahmed
Al-Sabah.

Kuwait's official news agency
KL'NA. citing Algerian sources it did
not identify. said “five hijackers left
the plane, then about 10 minutes
later. four other pirates left the
plane. Following that the hostages
came out" at 6 am. .- three hours
into the 16th day of the hijacking.
The number of hijackers had pre-
viously been estimated at seven or
eight.

According to the agency. the his
jackers were assured safe passage
to either Beirut or Tehran.

A Soviet-built transport plane be-
longing to the Algerian air force
took off shortly before dawn. It is
rare for military aircraft to use the
civilian Houari Boumedienne airport
and there was speculation that some
or all the hijackers were aboard.

Algerian officials would not dis-
cuss the flight or its occupants.
KUNA quoted Mohammed Taher. a
member of the Algerian negotiating
team, as saying without elaboration
that the hijackers were “still here.“

the hijackers was the “concern of

making it difficult for reporters to
detect movement in the area.

After the plane was seized over
the Indian Ocean. it was diverted to
Mashhad. Iran. where the terrorists
released 57 hostages. Freed passen~
gers said they believed more gun-
men boarded at Mashhad with sub-
machine guns and dynamite that
was wired to the plane‘s doors later.

After three days in Mashhad. the
hijackers tried to take the plane to
Beimt but the airport there would
not permit it to land. The jet ran low
on fuel and Larnaca. Cyprus. agreed
toacceptit.

During five days in Larnaca. the
hijackers beat two Kuwaiti security
men, shot them to death and
dumped their bodies from the air-
craft. They let 13 more hostages go
in exchange for fuel. which brought
themtoAlgiers.

The hostages trembled as they
emerged from the plane in the dark-
ness yesterday morning.

Burse. 36. was named acting pres~
ident in July 1982 and took over the
job permanently that October. suc-
ceeding Dr. WA. Butts.

Burse submitted his resignation to
five regents who stopped by his of-
fice before the univerSity's honors
convoeation. said Joe Burgess. a
spokesman for the college.

The regents. who made up a ma-
jority of the eight-member board.
then voted unanimously to reject the
letter of resignation. Burgess said.
Both actions were announced during
the convocation.

“Apprommately six years ago. the
board of regents of Kentucky State

University provided me an opportu-
nity to serve as president of the uni~
versity.“ Burse said in his letter,

"The board took a risk in making
the appointment but I am certain we
can now say it was and is one which
has paid off. as KSL' is probably in
the strongest position it has been in
since its foundation. Realizing this. I
have made the decision to submit
my resignation as president. "

Burse. who cited personal and
family reasons for leaving. said he
would leave Dec. 31. or after com-
pletion of a study needed for accred—
itation. The study is supposed to be
done by Jan. 15.

He did not say what his plans
were.

Gov, Wallace Wilkinson learned of
Burse's action from reporters in
Lexmgton. where he attended cere-
monies for a plant expansion.

“That‘s news to me." Wilkinson
said. "I’m just learning of it now. Of
course. there have been rumors of
President Burses resigning for a
longtime ”

Burse would be the second lame-
duck university president in the

passed. Wilkinson said' "I have no
idea w hat their motive for resigning
was.”

After Burse's announcement. re-
gents (‘hairinan Barney Tucker of
Lexington expressed the board's
support of the president,

“President Burse‘s only problem
is that he can't compromise with
perfection and consequently works
himself and others very hard.”
Tucker said.

Governor defends plans
for legislative session

By CHARLES WOLFE
Associated Press

Gov. Wallace Wilkinson said yes-
terday he still intended to call a spe-
cial legislative session on education.
despite Lt. Gov. Brereton Jones'
opinion of it,

Wilkinson also said Jones should
"stop being so negative."

He responded to reports that
Jones. in a speech Monday in
()wensboro. said it would be futile to
call the General Assembly into spe;
cial session to deal with the adminis-
tration education bills it rejected in
its justcnded 19885essi0n,

lf Wilkinson persists. lawmakers
"will do what they just did; they'll
throw it back in his face," Jones
said in his speech.

“I wish that Lieutenant Governor
Jones would get positively involved
in the improvement process and
stop being so negative about every-
thing." Wilkinson said yesterday.

”We're taking a message about
hope and optimism and im-
provement across this state and I do
wish that he would involve himself
in the positive process of im-
provement and stop being so neg-
ative

“I don't know what was said. but
if what‘s reported is what he said.
it's just another one of those neg-
ative statements." said Wilkinson,
whose relations with Jones have re-
portedly been strained,

“I will reiterate that I do intend to
call a special session to deal with
educational improvement and edu-
cational innovation." said Wilkinson.

Wilkinson said he had not decided
on a date for the special session.

Jones was out of Frankfort yester-
day and could not be reached for
comment. but Steve Miller. a
spokesman. issued a statement that
said. in part:

“For more than a year. Brereton
Jones has consistently said that
long-range planning and consensus-
building are keys to education re-
form in our state. His remarks have
been directed solely at building the
kind of positive progressive attitude
which will ensure that our children
will not be placed at a competitive
disadvantage with the children of
otherstates."

Wilkinson's proposed education
legislation would have laid the foun-
dation for a 570 million per year per-

WALLACE WILKINSON

formance-bonus program for em-
ployees of progressive schools.

It also would have created a net-
work of state-ofthe-art “bench-
mark" schools and a program of ed-
ucation or training vouchers for the
chronically unemployed.

The Senate passed Wilkinson‘s
bills. but they died in a House com-
mittee. Wilkinson said they did not
receive a fair hearing and. before
the 1988 session ended. said he
would bring the legislature back to
Frankfort in special sessions until
the bills were passed.

Student-parents getting
help with balancing act

By MARY YOI 'NGSTAFI‘II.
Staff Writer

Being a student and a full-time
parent is a difficult act to balance.
Aside from the everyday academic
responsibilities. student—parents
have to find affordable, quality day-
care programs.

Kay Price. a single mother and
Lexington Community (‘ollege stu-
dent. knows what it's like to be both
a parent and a student.

Price has a very sporadic class
schedule that makes arranging
child-care very difficult.

"You almost get to a pomt where
you have to decide: Do I really need
this class? Is it worth leaving your
child alone? Or do you take the risk
of missing classes because you don‘t
have childcare?" Price said.

The need for more affordable
childcare facilities is an issue that
stretches from the UK campus
across the nation.

A bill before Congress —-the Act
for Better Child Care — proposes to
help provide better childcare train-
ing and make child-care more affor-
dable to low- and middle-income
families.

“You almost get to a
point where y0u have
to decide: Do I really
need this class? Is it
worth leaving y0ur
child alone? Or do you
take the risk of missing
classes because yoo

don't have child-care?”
Kay Price,
parent-student

People can v0ice their concerns
about child-care legislation at a con-
gressional hearing from 9 am. to
noon Saturday at the Executive Inn
in Louisville.

0n the UK campus, the Infant and
Toddler Day-Care hopes to ease the
child-care situation for student-par-
ents by providing child-care grants
through Academic Support Services.

Miller discusses women’s political roles

By (‘.\THY PROTHRO
(.‘oiitributiiig Writer

l'rbaii (‘ounty (‘ouncil member-at-
large Pam Miller said yesterday
that people‘s attitudes toward fe
male politicians have changed for
the better over the last l5 years.

"l remember very well when I
was first elected (to the council) in
1973." she said, "and the wife of a
prominent Kentucky politician came
up to me and said. 'Well. congratw
lations. I know those men will ap»
preciate a little decoration down
there ‘ "

Miller told the ('ontinuing Educa~
tion for Women that that View has
changed since 1973. She and other
female council members elected
since then have proven that women
are just capable politicians as men.
she said.

Miller credits the success of fe-
male candidates to certain charac-
teristics women possess

”Women are traditionally good lis-
teners. good at details and good at
following through on a project,"
Miller said. “We also tend to be per-
t'ectionists. which can make this job
a difficult one."

Miller said that these qualities not
only allowed them to compete with
the male couiicil members. but in
her opinion. made women better at
the JOI).

“The women on the council are
extremely thorough and conscien-
tious about reading their material
and learning the information," she
said. "There's no question in my
mind that of the people on the coun-
cil now, the three women are by far
the best."

Miller said that she gets along
well with the other two female coun—
cil members. Fernita Wallace and
Deborah Hensley.

“But even before when we've had

According to Miller, there are
many things that women can do to
get politically involved in their com-
munity without running for office.

Volunteering in a campaign, get-
ting involved on local boards and
commissions. and joining organiza-

tions that have issue-related agen-

das are all good starting places. she
said.

tics" was sponsored by Continuing

OChild-care needed

Continued“ from Pogo 1

“Having child-care on campus is
long overdue. We’re pleased to have
the evening childcare," said Susan
Byars, who works with Academic
Support Services.

The UK Student Government As-
sociation recently set aside $1,000 to
supplement students’ child-care
costs through a grant system.

“Our main concern is to set up
childcare (grants) by next fall, and
possibly the summer," said Ken
Walker, who is chairman of SGA's
child-care task force.

Students would apply for the
grants through Academic Support
Services, and if the grant is ap-
proved, would receive funds to cover
part of their child-care costs.

The issue of child-care is receiving
attention in other circles as well.
Last week, Fayette-Urban County
Judge Executive Sandra Varellas
came to UK to study the current
child-care situation.

“It's a very comfortable, homelike
atmosphere, and a good program. I
wish it was available to everyone,
but it is not, of course,“ Varellas
said.

She said she sympathizes with the
dilemma student-parents face be-
cause she too has experienced the
problem of finding reliable babysit-
tei‘s.

”The public needs to become more
aware of day-care and who‘s taking
care of the children," she said.

Kim Townley, director of UK‘s
Early Childhood Lab, said child-care
for one child costs about $50-$70 per
week on the average. For infants
and toddlers, it is usually more ex-
pensive, she said.

Kentucky has 135,427 children
under t‘ryears-old whose mothers
work outside the home, but the li-
censed child-care centers in Ken-
tucky can only handle 41,650.

A licensed day-care facility must
meet certain criteria for basic
health. safety, fire, water and light-

ing needs, Townley said. Many chil-
dren are in unlicensed facilities, and
their basic needs aren’t being met,
Townley said.

Such an environment can have a
negative effect on the development
of children's behavior, she said.
Children who are left alone may de-
velop problems with aggressiveness.
cognitive skills, thinking abilities
and humanitarian or social interac-
tions.

“If those appropriate behaviors
and skills aren‘t modeled, then (the
children) won’t have them as
adults," Townley said.

For a good day-care program.
Townley said, many issues are im-
portant, including the teacher-child
ratio, teacher training, space, equip
ment, group size, activities for the
child, nutritional program, parent
involvement and cooperation and
understanding between the day-care
and staff are important.

Teen mothers are particularly dis-
advantaged with respect to child-
care, Townley said, since programs
are “few and far between. "

As a result, teen mothers are like-
ly to drop out of school with no skills
for a job, she said.

“They stay on AFDC (Aid to Fam-
ilies with Dependent Children). Chil-
dren are raising children," Townley
said. “They can't afford day-care,
:0 people end up staying on wel—
are."

English students recognized for achievements

By Ill-III)! PROBST
Staff Writer

Several English students were rec-
ognized for outstanding academic
achievements at the Department of
English‘s Awards and Honors Pro
gram yesterday. Professor of En-
glish Wendell Berry was the keynote
speaker.

Berry is a Kentucky author noted
for his more than 30 publications of
poems. essays and short stories.

He spoke about the diversity of is-
sues concerning education.

"My impression is that not much
has been put in question of the poem
and great works are less and less
taught," Berry said.

Awarded with the ()J, & Ruby M.
Wilson Scholarship for Outstanding
English Major was Kimberly
Lehman. an English senior. This
was the first year the award was
presented.

"I am honored to be the first re-
cipient of the award and I hope it
will motivate future students of En-
glish to excel.” Lehman said.

Lehman was described by English

faculty as “truly impressive in writ-
ing activities." She is president of
Sigma Tau Delta, an English Honor-
arv.

Lehman will graduate this semes-
ter and she said she plans to take a
year off from school to travel in Eu-
rope.

This year the Dantzler-Dantzler
Award for Academic Achievement
for members of the senior class was
awarded to two individuals: Walter
McAtee and Paula Stockton.

McAtee is said by some English
professors to be one of the brightest

students, said David Durant, an En-
glish professor.

McAtee said receiving the award
was an honor, especially because
there was so much competition.

“It is an honor knowing the qual-
ity of the senior class and that only
two were chosen to recieve the
award," he said.

McAtee will graduate this semes-
ter. He then plans to bike through
Europe before attending graduate
school.

Stockton said she hopes to teach
high school in central Kentucky.

UK baseball team
knocks off pesky
EKU Colonels, 10-4

By STEVE HARDY
Staff Writer

The Kentucky Wildcat baseball
team continued its recent hitting
barrage. cranking out 15 hits. in-
cluding three home runs. as it
thumped Eastern Kentucky ltH at
Shively Field last night.

The game. which lasted three
hours and 20 minutes. was marred
by sloppy fielding on both sides. The
two teams combined to commit nine
errors. five by Eastern and four by
Hi.

“It's not sloppy when you win."
said UK coach Keith Madison. “We
were not ready mentally to play de
Tense tonight. We are a good de»
lensive team. but you‘re going to
have lapses."

L'K starter Vince Tyra felt the
brunt of an early defensive lapse.
The Cats committed two errors in
the top of the second. leading to two
unearned Eastern runs. Tyra was
chased in the third after another
error and two more Eastern runs.

Kentucky scored two runs of its
own in the bottom of the first. Sec-
ond baseman Billy White led off the
inning with a home run over the left
field wall. Senior catcher Robbie Bu—

chanan added another run with an
RBI single into center field.

While relief pitcher Dave Voit
cruised through the middle innings
shutting down Eastern. the Cats‘
bats exploded.

Left fielder Mark Blythe opened
the home half of the sixth fisting a
single into right field. Designated
hitter John Hampton followed with a
line-shot single into left field.

After the Colonels committed a
couple of errors of their own. right
fielder Sam Taylor made them pay
the price with a three-run blast over
the right field fence.

Taylor's home run finished East-
ei'ii starter and loser Dan Wachs-
inith for the evening. Wachsmith
pitched 5 1’3 innings. yielding seven
runs to the Cats.

But LTK still wasn‘t done on of-
fense. Buchanan led off the seventh
by crushing a long home run off
Eastern ace Rusty Clark.

In the bottom of the eighth the
t'ats added two insurance runs.
White led off with a double over the
center fielder‘s head. UK center
fielder Chris Estep was hit by a
pitch and moved to third as White
scored on another Eastern error.

Buchanan ended the scoring with

”Fan support is what we really
need. Last year when we played
them they had over a thousand

fans.“ he said.

a big impact on the match. since
they had it last year." Van
Emburgh said.

with LSU on the wake of quite a win-
ning streak. UK has won 13 out of its
last H matches. including nine wins

we can do it with Rincon in our line-
up or not." Van Emburgh said.
“Ian‘s done a tremendous job at the
No. 2 spot. considering he's playing
in a position that usually uses the
more experienced players. ' '

Rincon. out with an ankle injury. for
Friday’s match to help overpower
