Although they can’t vote, some community college
students still are actively campaigning
for their choice in the student trustee
race. They have chosen Benny Ray
Bailey.

Bailey, UK’s Student Government
Association president, is running
against nine UK students for the
Board of Trustees’ seat vacated last
month when his predecessor, T.A.
Jones, resigned.

The trustees are the highest gov—

Sanlord tiles
3rd SBA claim

By Jenniler Smilh
Staff Writer '

For the third time in 30 days, Clayton Sanford is
filing a complaint against the Student Government
Association with the SGA Supreme Court.

Most recently, Sanford is disputing his disqualifi-
cation from the Board of Trustees race. He failed to
attend a mandatory meeting for candidates.

The homeless veteran, who has two sons, filed his
first SGA complaint to try to get his $30 deposit fee
back after the Freshmen Senate Elections. The fee
was withheld because Sanford did not turn in his
campaign expenditure form. The
court denied Sanford’s request.

His second claim to the court
involved SGA child-care grants. He
said the SGA committee that dis-
tributes the grants discriminated
against him on the basis of his sex and
because he is homeless and a veteran.

The court said he was not discrim—
inated against on those grounds.
However, they ruled to have the SGA
committee re-evaluate its process for choosing grant
recipients.

In his newest complaint, Sanford alleges that
Amelia Perkins, chairwoman of the SGA Elections
Board of Supervisions, and Matthew Thomas, chair-
man of the SGA Elections Board of Claims, are con—
spiring to keep him out of the trustee election.

“(Perkins and Thomas) had a secret, closed-door
meeting of the election board and ruled that T was
disqualified — all behind my back," Sanford said.

However, Thomas said the group never had a for-
mal meeting to disqualify Sanford.

“It was a completel cut and dried, open and shut
case,” Thomas said. “ fthere was any question that
Clayton violated the law, we would have had a meet—
ing. There was nothing for him to appeal.”

The trustee application says that anyone who does

and others could retained limited visitation times.

“We are all very responsible adults, capable of
making our own decisions,” said Andrews, a graduate
student and teaching assistant in the Spanish depart—
ment said.

Mayer said he thinks the administration is treating
the students like children.

“We are all adults,” the undeclared junior said,
“but we’re not given our rights as adults."

Amoli said he has attended one trustees’ meeting
in the past and it was “very long." Andrews and
Mayer said they had never attended a meeting.

“I’ve never had relations with the board,” Mayer
said.

All of the candidates said they would attempt to
become familiar with board policy ifelected.

“My votes would be very well—researched," Amoli
said.

All three candidates said they think too many
pass/fail classes are not good for students.

ME President says
loreign policy unchanging

AKARTA, Indonesia — On his first overseas trip
since the elections, President Clinton assured anx-
ious Asian leaders yesterday that America's foreign
policy will not be shaken by the Republican landslide
in Congress.

“The position of the United States is certainly just
as strong as it ever has been," Clinton said, setting
the stage for a summit on expanding trade with Asia’s
booming economies.

Organizers hope leaders of 18 Pacific and Asian
nations attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Coop-
eration forum will agree to free trade in the region by
2020, though China and Malaysia are resisting.

In advance of the summit, Clinton was holding
one-on—one talks today with the leaders of China,
Japan, South Korea and Australia.

Disputes over human rights and trade barriers
were expected to be high on the agenda for Clinton's
second meeting with Chinese President Jiang Zemin
m a year.

NATION nepuhllcans pledge wollaro rolorm

WASHINGTON — House Republicans are
promising quick action to reform the welfare system
with a plan to strip young, unwed mothers of cash
benefits and funnel the savings into orphanages and
adoptions — but not abortions.

Preparing to seize control of Congress, Republi-
can lawmakers say they are willing to work with the
White House to overhaul welfare by imposing strict
time limits on benefits, work requirements and
restrictions on aid to most immigrants.

But their legislation, included in the “Contract
With America” signed by more than 300 Republican
House candidates, may be too conservative for Presi-
dent Clinton, governors and moderate lawmakers.

Hearings on the bill could begin in earlyJanuary
and the House is expected to vote on it within the
first 100 days of the session.

STATE Two considering run lor governor

FRANKFORT — On the heels of big Republican
victories in Tuesday’s elections, former U.S. Attor—
neyJoseph Whittle and former state party chairman
Robert Gable said they are seriously considering a
run for governor next year.

Lexington lawyer Larry Forgy, considered by
many the Republican front-runner, is expected to
announce his candidacy before the end of the month.
Whittle, who helped launch the federal investigation
of corruption in state government known as Opera—
tion BOPTrot, said he doubts that Forgy can win the
office.

“I don't think Larry could take the pressure,” he
said.

“He’s one of the best speakers I’ve ever heard, but
he doesn‘t have any record of accomplishment -—
except as a public speaker — and I think I do.”

Riley not comlortalile with NBC demands
New York Knicks coach Pat Riley, an NBC bas-

ketball broadcaster four seasons ago, says he wasn't
comfortable with the network’s demands to “go
after” players and coaches.

“I always had a foot in the coach—
ing door, so I was not going out to
submarine anybody,” Riley says in the
Nov. 1‘) issue of TV Guide. “I
wouldn't be critical of coaches or
players, because I knew there was a
bigger picture.”

The ever-stylish Riley, who played
at UK, says he can dish out criticism
when it’s called for, “but I wouldn’t
go after people for what I felt were smaller issues.”

Riley's broadcasting career resumes temporarily
Nov. 22 when he hosts an HBO special, “American
Coaches: Men ofVision and Victory.”

eremony brings end to pedestrians’ woes

 

By Glenda N. Elhlnglon

It‘s finished.

Pedestrians on campus no longer have to
avoid mud holes, construction equipment
and crews of assorted laborers.

The Advanced Science and Technology
Commercialization Center, which connects
to McVey Hall, officially was opened in a
dedication ceremony Saturday.

Among those joining UK President
Charles VVethington during the ribbon-cut-
ting ceremony were Sen. Wendell Ford,
Rep. Scotty Baeslet and former overnor
and chairman of the Board of Trustees
Edward T. “Ned" Breathitt.

“The University of Kentucky is prepared
to let the voice of technolo speak,” said
Ford of the $17.5 million AS eCC facility.

Funding for the project was provided by
the U.S. Economic Development Adminis-

tration and the U.S. Small Business Admin-
istration.

The 80,000 square-foot ASTeCC facility
also connects with the Center for Robotics
and Manufacturing Systems and the Civil
Engineering Building.

“It seemed to me to be an ideal place to
put a facility like this,” former UK Vice
President Wimberly Royster said.

Royster first envisioned the facility back
in 1986, as an “idea of flexibility."

Royster said he retired in 1990 but stayed
on as a special assistant to Wethington, see-
ing the project reach its completion.

“The center provides a friendly environ-
ment where researchers could meet each
other, talk with each other and exchange
ideas," Royster said.

ASTeCC also rents space to three private
research companies, with plans to lease

she will miss many of the people she
