SDC almost halfway

to fund-raising goal

‘Challenge 1988’ gives graduates
three years to pay donations to UK

By HEIDI PROBST
Staff Writer

The Student Development Coun-
cil‘s annual fund-raising project.
“Challenge 1988,“ has accumulated
about $8,375 of its $20,000 goal.

The project, an effort to raise
money for the University, began last
Sunday and will continue until to-
morrow.

“The Challenge" is a chance for
graduating students to give some-
thing back to the University by do-
nating money, said Elizabeth Bush-
ong, an accounting junior and SDC
member.

Ken Walker, a business senior and
SDC member, said the students can
pledge any amount of money to any
part of the University.

SDC Chairman James Rose said
there is a pledge card with four cat-

egories that money can be donated
to: Student Scholarships, a Teaching
Improvement Fund, Campus Safety
and others. The donor can chose
other if he or she wishes to give
money to a specific area.

Graduating students who donate
money have three years to pay it to
the University, and the first instal-
lment is not due until January 1989.

“We don‘t ask them to pay any-
thing right away because they are
graduating and we understand they
don‘t have funds, we’re challenging
them to give in the future,” Rose
said.

This way the pledgers have a
chance to find a job before they
start paying money to the Universi-
ty again, Walker said.

He said the project is an effort to
get UK graduates accustomed to do-
nating money to the school. “If they

JAMES ROSE

give money to the University now.
they‘ll be more likely to pay later.“
The project was called the “Senior
Challenge“ for the last two years
since it began. However, SDC
changed the name to “Challenge
1988" in hopes to incorporate all peo-
ple graduating. for example, those
graduating from the Law School and
Medical School, Bushong said.

Hijacked jet leaves for Algeria
after 12 more captives let go

By IIASAN MROL'E
Associated Press

LARNACA. Cyprus — A hijacked
Kuwaiti jumbo jet took off for Alge-
ria early today after gunmen freed
12 more passengers in what they
called a gesture of goodwill.

The blue-and-white Boeing 747 left
Larnaca at 1:17 am. today (6:17
pm. EDT yesterday) with three
members of Kuwait‘s royal family
still among the hostages.

The Shiite Moslem hijackers. who
have killed two passengers, had re-
quested charts from the control
tower at Larnaca Airport for the
three—hour flight to the Algerian cap-
ital.

When asked whether the aircraft
would be accepted in Algiers. a
tower official said a telex from Alge-

rian authorities was "very definite.
Yes we will confirm that for you. "

About 40 people. including the six
to eight hijackers, remained aboard
the Kuwait Airways jet. It was com<
mandeered eight days ago on a
flight from Bangkok to Kuwait and
spent three days at Mashhad. Iran.
It was subsequently allowed to land
at Larnaca because it was running
out of fuel,

One of those freed said three
members of Kuwait's ruling family,
Fade] Khaled al-Sabah and his 515.
ters Anware and Ebtesam. still were
on the plane, said Dr. George ()lym-
pics at Larnaca General Hospital,
where the freed hostages were
taken.

A nurse at the hospital said the
freed hostages "seem to be UK,
There weren‘t any visible injuries."

She added that they were very tired.

Earlier in the day. the gunmen
said they had donned "death
shrouds" and had renamed the jet-
liner “the plane of martyrdom . "

The 12 passengers walked off the
aircraft at 10:25 pm. 13:25 pm.
EDTl and got into three ambulances
as the flashing lights from the plane
and the emergency vehicles illumi-
nated the runway.

After the released passengers left
the plane, a hijacker told the tower
they were two Palestinians with Jor-
danian passports and 10 others of
unannounced nationality who were
sick, poor or whose families had nu-
merous children.

Calling the release a “goodwill"
gesture, the hijackers said the Jor-
danian nationals were freed as a

UK seniors named Derby princesses

By SUZANNE GRAGERT
Contributing Writer

Two UK seniors are among five of
35 nominees selected this year to be
Kentucky Derby Princesses.

Finance major Christina Levy. a
member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority,
and nursing major Marlyn Lloyd, a
member of Delta Gamma sorority,
will have busy schedules to go with
their positions.

The princesses must spend a week
in Louisville attending some 84
events the week before Derby, in-
cluding the Boat Race Trials, Open-
ing Day at the Downs and the Derby
Eve Jam.

“It is really a very hectic week,“

said Sher Stumler. head of publicity
for the traditional Derby Ball.

One of the five girls will be
crowned Derby Queen during the
Derby Ball April 29.

Girls were judged on community
and school involvement, academic
standing. overall poise, enthusiasm
and answers to interview questions.

The girls have many public ap-
pearances to make, not including
the 84 mandatory festival functions.
They are required to dress in official
outfits at all times.

The ball is held in the Grand Ball-
room in the Call House East. In-
stead of having another contest to
choose the Queen, each girl is given

a number and the Queen is chosen
by the spin of a wheel.

Levy remarked. “We've all be-
come good friends and there is no
competition between us to become
the Queen — it‘s just a spin of the
wheel."

“I like it that way." Levy said.
“There is no tension and we can
relax. It's luck.“

As much as each girl would like to
be Queen, they are happy just to
have been selected as a princess. “I
was very excited and very
shocked,“ said Levy. “1 was up
against extremely sharp and intelli-
gent girls."

White House says faked quotes an ‘outrage’

By TERENCE lll'N'I‘
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The White
House said yesterday that President
Reagan was upset and it was an
“outrage“ that former presidential
spokesman Larry Speakes had made
up quotes and given them to report-
ers as Reagan's words.

“Everyone is appalled that he
made up quotes,“ said spokesman
Marlin Fitzwater, who replaced
Speakes 14 months ago.

In a kiss-and-tell book that has
roiled White House officials, Speak-
es disclosed that he made up a wide-
ly reported statement that was at
tributed to Reagan during his first
summit with Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev in IRS.

In another instance, when 8 K0-
rean Air Lines er jet was
shot down by the Soviets in 1903, the
president "had almost nothing to
say" during meetings with the Cab-
inet and congressional leaders,
Speakes said. So, he said, he took
statements made by Secretary of
State George P. Shultz and attrib-
utedthemtoReagan.

Fitzwater, at a news briefing dom-
inated by question about Spookeo‘
revelation, bloated his prudent-w,
who in his six yeon as White House

MARLIN FITIWATER

spokesman had boasted that he
never lied tothepress.

“It‘s a damned outrage, that‘s
what it is," Fitzwater said.

“I resent it so much. It casts as-
persions on the presidency and on
my position It‘s wrong. He
shouldn't have done it and .I
won‘t doit," Ii‘ftzwater said.

Hes-idhehadnottalkedtothe

president, “but I‘m sure he would be
upset about it. I‘m sure he is."

Conservative leaders who met
with Reagan yesterday also were
angry. "I think Larry Speakes has
done a disservice to the president,“
said Peter Flaherty. chairman of
Citizens for Reagan.

Paul Weyrich. head of the Free
Congress Foundation, said, “The
president is ill-served by all of these
people who are in public service and
then write books the minute they get
out and reveal things that ought not
toberevealed.

"All they‘re in it for is making a
buck . . . and frankly, they ought to
be ashamed of themselves" Wey-
rich said.

Speakes had no reaction to the
White House statements. “I‘d be
better off not to comment," he said
in a telephone interview from New
York, where he is vice president for
communications at Merrill Lynch
Corp.

However, he offered no apologies,
saying“lt‘san honestbook.“

Speakes said the two instances of
phony quotes he cited “were the
00'! two that I specifically recall,
. .. It was a case of knowing the
president well and knowing how he
felt about the events taking place
andknowingwhathewouldsay."

He said he had told Reagan about
the quotes.

“I generally told him. you know
what I had done, you know. and the
reasons for doing it. He never ob-
jected to, you know. these cases
where I said, you know. I've gone
ahead and done this.” Speakes said.

In his book. ”Speaking Out."
Speakes recalled it was Shultz who
said the shooting down of the K0-
rean airliner was not a problem be-
tween the United States and the So-
viet Union. but “a Soviet vs. the
world problem. “

However, Speakes told reporters
the president had said those words.
He also attributed to Reagan some
of Shultz‘s suggestions about retalia-
tory action.

“My decision to put Shultz's words
in Reagan's mouth played well and
neither of them complained." Spealc
eswrote.

Discussing the summit. Speakes
said he “felt that Gorbach was
really getting the advantage over us
in his give-and-take with reporters,
while Reagan was very tentative
and stilted“ in his comments.

"Fearing that Reagan was losing
the media version of Star Wars. I in-
structed Mark Weinberg (a White
House press aidei to draft some
quotes for the president."

The UK chapter of Phi Beta

nation, inducted :11 new members
Monday night, including President

Dukakis, Gore clash in debate

By EVANS Wl'l‘T
Associated Press

Michael Dukakis and Albert Gore
Jr. traded barbs in a New York de~
bate yesterday on the Middle East,
welfare cuts and timidity in dealing
with fellow Democrat Jesse Jack-
son. Republican George Bush said
he “can't wait to take on" one of
them in the fall campaign.

A week before the pivotal New
York primary. the Democratic bat-
tle was turning into “a bloodlet-
ting." Bush said, as he moved seda~
tely toward the GOP nomination
that is all but his.

"I still intend to campaign right
through the end of the primary sea-
on," Bush said in Schenectady. “I
can't wait to take on whichever one
of those three Democrats wins the
Democratic nomination."

The balloting in New York next
Tuesday is a foregone conclusion for
the Republicans. But for the Demo-
crats. the primary offers rich prizes
and harsh judgments.

For Jackson. it offers another
chance to prove he can attract white
votes and continue the growth of a
mainstream campaign.

“l was an underdog for 45 years
and 11 months, and now I'm one of
the top dogs, and I just love it,“
Jackson said in the New York Daily
News debate. “New York loves a
winner, and I'm a winner. . . . Vote
for a winner. Vote for Jackson ac-
tion."

Dukakis. the front-runner in the
polls, is hoping to make it three pri-
mary victories in a row and stretch
out his delegate lead with the lion‘s
share of the 255 New York delegates
at stake.

Yesterday in the AP delegate
count, Dukakis has 75015 votes;
Jackson. 713.1; Gore, 396.8 and un~
committed, 506.7.

In search of the 2,082 votes needed
to win the nomination at the Demo-
cratic National Convention in July,
Dukakis said he was seeking dele-
gates who supported candidates who
have dropped out and even “maybe
for Al Gore's delegates.“

“Don‘t lick your chops too soon,
Gov. Dukakis," Gore fired back in
the debate. “New York's going to
have a bigger say about that than
you will."

As he has in past debates, the Ten-
nessee senator landed the first
punches in the confrontation. one of
several scheduled before Tuesday's
balloting.

Hitting on the Middle East — a
key issue in New York — Gore said
Dukakis had sounded a note of “en-
thusiasm" about an independent
Palestinian state and he said he dis-
agreed “with the way Jesse Jackson
advocates a Palestinian state."

Dukakis retorted that Gore was
just wrong. “I didn‘t express enthu-
siasm for a Palestinian state yester-
day,"hesaid.

For his part, Jackson did not back
down from his support for a Pales-
tinian homeland: "While we can
guarantee secure borders. we can-
not insure tranquility so long as
there is occupation.“

Then the Massachusetts governor

brought up Gore's attacks on him a
week ago.

“I think we can disagree without
suggesting anyone is attacking any-
one," Dukakis said. “And Al. I think
I heard you correctly when you were
attacking me for not attacking
Jesse. That‘s the first time that‘s
happened in 25 years."

With Jackson watching the ex-
change. Gore retorted: “What I said
was you were timid in not being
willing to say why you believed you
would make a better president than
Jesse Jackson.“

Dukakis would not let Gore have
the last word: “No. you said i was
timid because I would not attack
this man. First time that‘s hap
pened."

Earlier this month, Gore attacked
Dukakis for being “absolutely
timid“ in his comments about Jack-
son and said Dukakis was alraid to
say a single word about Jesse Jack-
son."

 OHijacked jet takes off for Algeria

Continued from Page I

“present to the uprising in Pales-
tine,” the 4-month-old Arab rebellion
in Israeli-occupied territories.

The hijackers have demanded that
Kuwait free 17 pro-Iranian terror-
ists, all but one of them Shiites, con-
victed for a chain of bombings there
in December 1983. Kuwait refuses

Negotiators from the Palestine
Liberation Organization and the Cy-
prus government had gone to the
airliner earlier in the day. A fuel
truck flanked by ambulances drove
to the jet.

The jetliner was commandeered
April 5 after it took off from Bang-
kok, and was diverted to the north-
eastern Iran city of Mashhad, where
57 passengers were released.

It left Mashhad on Friday, and
flew around the Mediterranean for
more than three hours as the pilot
desperately sought permission to
land at airports in Damascus and
Beirut. He finally was allowed to
land in Larnaca, where the gunman
killed two men identified as Kuwai-

tis on Sunday and Monday, and
dumped their bodies from the jet.

PLO leader Yasser Arafat indi-
cated there was some involvement
by high‘ranking officials from Alge-
ria to end the crisis, but it was not
known what kind of deal had been
struck.

Arafat, speaking in Kuwait, also
said PLO officials had been “negd
tiating with the hijackers’ command
in Beirut" to end the hijacking, the
Kuwait News Agency reported.

Yesterday, a hijacker spoke to the
control tower, citing verses from the
Koran, Islam's holy book, which are
normally read at funerals.

“Those killed in the name of God
are always alive," the hijacker said.

In a later radio call a hijacker de-
manded fuel, “otherwise you will
force us to behave in another man-
ner."

In one conversation, a hijacker
said “hail the glory of Imam
Mahdi,“ a Messiah-like figure Shiite
Moslems believe will one day ap-

pear on Earth. The statements re-
vealed that the gunmen are Shiites.

Yesterday, the hijackers de-
clared: “We have decided to call
our plane the plane of martyrdom.
Death with glory is better than life
with dishonor. “

Speaking in classical, Koranic Ar-
abic, they said: “We have decided
to wear the death shrouds under our
clothes and that either all our 17
brothers come back to us or else we
shall meet, in our shrouds, in the
heaven of eternal happiness.“

Inside the plane, the captive pas-
sengers sweltered through the day
yesterday under the Mediterranean
sun. Some of the passengers, who
have reportedly been beaten, were
nervous and disoriented as the hi-
jackers forced them to talk to the
Larnaca control tower.

Fadel Khaled aI-Sabah, a busi-
nessman and cousin of Kuwait's
emir, Shieik Jaber al~Ahmed al-
Sabah, could barely speak when the
hijackers put him on the radio to
plead for fuel.

First U.S. patent on animal granted

By RANDOLPH E. SCIIMII)
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —— A new type of
laboratory mouse broke legal
ground yesterday as the federal gov-
ernment granted Harvard Universi-
ty the first U.S. patent on an animal.

"A few minutes ago we issued a
patent which. for the first time in
the history of the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office, covers an ani-
mal,“ Patent Commissioner Donald
J. Quigg announced shortly after
noon.

”This particular animal (is) a
mouse which has been genetically
engineered so as to make it more
susceptible to“ cancer, Quigg said.

The patent, No. 4,736,866, named
Philip Leder of Chestnut Hill, Mass.
and Timothy A. Stewart of San
Francisco as inventors of the mouse,
which is to be used for research into
cancer.

CHURCHILL DOWNS
.—

Patents on forms of life are not
new. with both plants and types of
bacteria having been patented in the
past.

Almost any type of animal — ex-
cept humans — could be considered
for a patent, Quigg said.

The Patent Office said last year
that it was considering patents on
animals, following an appellate
court ruling in a case involving a
new type of oyster.

That ruling said that the agency
could go beyond the plants and bac-
teria, to which it had previously lim-
ited patents on life forms. The
oyster patent was never issued, how-
ever, with examiners concluding
that the process was not original
enough.

The only other animal case oc-
curred in 1974, when the Patent Of-
fice refused to patent a dwarf chick-
en.

has raised some controversy in re-
cent years. however. with opponents
questioning the ethics of changing
animals.

Bills have been introduced in Con-
gress to place a moratorium on such
patents until the ethical problems
can be worked out, and Quigg said
that Congress and the scientific lab-
oratory are the proper forum for
such debates.

Having mice that are more sensi~
tive to cancer can be a major bene~
fit for researchers. Quigg said.

Currently, mice are often exposed
to massive doses of chemicals to see
if cancer results. The altered mice
could be exposed to chemical levels
more like those encountered by hu~
mans, perhaps making the experi-
ments more easily related to human
dangers, Quigg said.

The Patent Office announcement
drew prompt reaction on both sides
of the issue.

'Derby princesses

Continued from Page I

Levy said that she was thrilled to
be in the middle of everything and
wanted to be really involved in the
Derby festivities.

Lloyd said that she didn‘t even be-
lieve that she had been selected
when she was told.

”I always thought that things like
this could never happen to me. I‘m
honored and thrilled,“ she said.

Both girls said they want to make
a good impression on visitors to the
Derby, especially since a main re-
sponsibility is to show hospitality

Lloyd says there is a special spirit
to the Derby and she says she wants
to “keep that spirit alive.“

To become a princess, each girl
had to be nominated by either her
college, a member of the Kentucky
Derby Festival Board, or a member
of the Fillies —- a group of 200
women who promote the festival.

Then the nominees had to each
write a 250word essay on “Why I
think I should be chosen as Prin-
cess," and were interviewed by
three out-0f~state judges,

Flowers said.

However, “people outside the (Tole
lege of Arts & Sciences are eligible
if they can meet the criteria “

Besides having a high grade point
average, persons wishing to be in-
ducted into the honorary must have
accumulated at least 90 liberal arts
hours, meet all the College of Arts 8.-
Sciences requirements and have a
concentration of courses (400 level
and above) outside their major.
Flowers said.

Flowers says that membership in
Phi Beta Kappa is also an honor be-
cause of the small number of chap—
ters.

“In the state of Kentucky there
are only two chapters of Phi Beta
Kappa, one is here and the other is
at Centre College." Flowers said.

in the nation there are only about
2‘30 chapters. Flowers said.

Roselle. who was inducted as an
honorary member, said that he was
pleased with the induction.

"I was very flattered that the stu«
dents associated with Phi Beta
Kappa considered having me as a
member. “ Roselle said.

Inducting honorary members into

hi Beta Kappa is an occasional
practice. Flowers said.

“We do that from time to time for
people who have made outstanding
contributions in scholarship or in the
liberal arts or by personal exam-
ple.“ Flowers said.

"We just thought that Dr. Roselle
was the type of person that exempli-
fies the ideas of Phi Beta Kappa."

But for the 30 other inductees it
was a different honor. They are UK
students.
