Botkins announces
presidential hopes

By THOMAS J. SULLIVAN
News Editor

SGA Senator at Large David Bot-
kins announced his candidacy for
the Student Government Association
presidency last night before about 50
people at the Kappa Alpha Theta so
rority house.

Botkins and running mate Leah
McCain, also an SGA senator at
large, are the first candidates to for-
mally announce election plans.

SGA Senior Vice President Susan
Bridges is expected to announce her
candidacy next week.

Botkins, referring to a Kentucky
Kernel editorial that stressed issues
as a priority in the SGA elections.
said that “issues are important, sub«
stance is important."

“Fluff," Botkins said, “is not the
way we‘re going to get things done. "

And the way Botkins and McCain
plan to get things done is by running
SGA “like a business."

Botkins later explained that he
planned to do this through “accoun~
tability,” and "maximizing the dol—
lar that (SGA spends ) . “

“The programs that we decide to
fund need to be carefully looked at,"

Botkins said. “(We need to) make
sure that they‘re worthwhile," Mc-
Cain added.

The financial trouble of the UK li-
brary was listed as one of Botkins‘
primary priorities.

“They can‘t afford to renew a lot
of the periodical subscriptions
we need to help the library," Bot-
kins said.

He said that one way he plans to
do that is through an “adopt a peri-
odical" program in which different
student organizations could pay for
the subscription of a particular peri-
odical.

”It‘s the library in general that
needs to be the main priority be-
cause the library is the nerve center
for any institution of higher learn
ing,“ Botkins said.

Student involvement in SGA would
also be a concern under Botkins and
McCain. Botkins said he would work
to get the greek and residence hall

that more student concerns could be
heard.

“This is a way for us to have more
student input before the bill hit the
floor,"McCain said

Though a project called the ”resi~
dence hall planning commission,"
Botkins said that he and McCain
“would sit down and look at some
long-range goals that students in the
residence halls would like to see."

But the residence hall and greek
communities aren‘t the only stu-

dents the Botkins and Mct'aiii camp
are targeting.

“Lexington (‘ommunity ('ollcgc is
a priority for us," Botkins said

“Those people need to be rci'og

tion the first SGA meeting . will
be held at LCC."

LONDON —~- Vice President
George Bush says he's a “nation-
at candidate" for the White
House, but yesterday he tried to
sell himself as a candidate of the
South.

With Super Tuesday less than
two weeks away. Bush spent yes-
terday in Kentucky's heavily Re»
publican 5th Congressional dis-
trict, visiting a Laurel County
town bearing his last name and
speaking to a rally held at Sue
Bennett College.

"Kentuckians have a colorful
way of making a guy feel at
home," Bush told a crowd of
about 2.000 supporters in the Sue
Bennett College gymnasium.
“Kentucky is on the forefront.
Kentucky is on the cutting edge.
If you give me the support I
need, there is no question I will
be the next president of the Unit—
edStates.“

Kentucky is one of 14 southern
and border states that will hold a
presidential primary on March 8.

With a total of 21 states partici-
pating nationwide. more than 800
or about one—third of the dele-
gates to the Republican National
Covention in New Orleans will be
chosen on that day.

Bush said he plans to use the
remaining 13 days before Super
Tuesday to tell voters where his
stance on the issues distinguishes
him from his Republican chal-
lengers.

“There is no question you can-
not devise a strategy to win the
Republican nomination without
winning Super Tuesday," Bush
said at a press conference in Sue
Bennett‘s Belle Hall.

While Bush stopped short of
saying a victory on Super Tues-
day would ensure him of the
nomination he said it would defi-

ELECTION '88

nitely make him the candidate to
beat.

“If I win or sweep it it
would be a little difficult to stop
me,“hesaid.

However, Kentucky Congress-
man Hal Rodgers, a Republican
of the 5th district who chairs
Bush‘s Kentucky campaign, was
more forceful.

Rodgers said it would catapult
Bush to the White House. He said
Super Tuesday gives Kentuckians
and other Southern voters in-
creased power in the presidential
process.

“It gives us a chance during
the Bush administration to say
‘Remember us back when?‘ "
Rodgers said.

Some Bush critics have said he
has been too loyal to President
Ronald Reagan during his seven
years in the White House, but
Bush said that loyalty is “a
strength, not a character flaw. “

“1 think I’d be a good presi-
dent,“ he said, “but if the price
to be president is shoving Ronald
Reagan down . . . I‘m not willing
to be president. "

Republican Kentucky Congress-
man Jim Bunning, chairman of
Athletes for Bush, told the audi-
ence that Bush's “whole life has
been training for this office."

Pamela Howard, a Laurel
County High School senior, said it
was exciting to have an event in
her home town that is usually re-
served for the voters in Iowa and
New Hampshire.

“I‘m nervous because this is
the first time because I’ve never
been to something like this,“ she
said. “I‘m having trouble feeling

at home. See nus“, Page 5

FRANKFORT — Gov. Wallace
Wilkinson has asked the eight
state university presidents for in-
formation to support their de-
mands for more money than his
proposed budget allocates for
higher education.

The presidents must present
“the kind of case (that) would
have to be made to him if he was
to attempt to do anything at all to
amend the budget." said Jack
Foster, education secretary and a
top aide to the governor.

There is no guarantee that the
new information would result in
any new money for the universi-
ties, Foster said. “But at least we
will all now better understand the

Wilkinson wants specifics on why

circumstances that we‘re really
talking about."

The governor's request was re-
layed Monday in a conference
telephone call from Gary Cox, ex-
ecutive director of the state
Council on Higher Education, to
the presidents.

Foster said he comidered it
more appropriate for Cox to ask
for the additional information.

Foster called the directive an
effort by the administration “to
get a better understanding of
what the specific problems are
that the universities may be fac-
ing and get (discussions) out of
the realm of generalities, ‘the
sky's falling’ rhetoric."

Wilkirlon's spending plan for
higher education has become the

most controversial part of his
budget.

The presidents have contended
it leaves them far short of operat-
ing expenditures and would cause
some exodus of faculty because it
provides no specifically allocated
salary increases in tilts-89.

The overall budget provides for
a slightly more than 1 percent in-
crease for higher education in
1988-89 and a 5 percent increase
in 199-90.

Shortly after his budget was re-
vealed, it was roundly criticized
by the presidents, whom the gov-
ernor then called “cry—babies."
He said they could find the rice.
assary money for pay raises by
changing campus priorities.

Senators’ salaries,

The Student Government Associa

Phone-a-thon nets college $29,500

By AMY HECKROTTE
Contributing Writer

The fourth annual College of Arts
& Sciences phone-athon ended
Thursday night just short of the col‘
lege's goal of $30,000.

Nevertheless, an official praised
the effort as a success.

“Even though we did not reach
our goal, the phone-a-thon was a
success. We raised more money
than we ever had before." said
Mary Burg, director of alumni af-
fairs for the college.

The phone-a-thon. which took
place Feb. 7 to Feb. 18, raised
$2).516.50, Burg said. Last year the
event raised $24,000 in pledges but
an additional $2,600 was sent in by
alumni.

Burg said she hoped the same
thing would happen this year. She
gave many reasons why the phone—
a-thonwasasuccess.

“My callers this year were very
enthusiastic, mature and profession-
al about what they were doing," she
said “And i think the alumni re-
sponded with the realization of the
impact the proposed budget cuts will
be having on the University and the
college."

The average donation also in
creased this year, Burg said. from
$25 to $30.

Each night about 15 callers
worked the phones, reaching about
6.000 alumni, Burg said.

Tom Frye, a geography senior,
was one such caller. He said asking
for money from alumni was was not
as bad as he thought it would be.

“Most of the alumni 1 reached
were nice." Frye said. “They under‘
stood the University was having
problems and tried to help.”

But Frye said he reached many
alumni who really wanted to con-

tribute this year but who could not
afford it.

“1 listened to many explanations
as to why people could not give this
year." Frye said “A lot of them
said to make sure and call next
year "

A common procedure for many
callers was to track people. Burg
said. (‘allers would do this through
speaking With telephone operators
and relatives of alumni.

"it really hurt if we were not suc-
cessful in tracking our alumni."
Hurg said. “A few times it was peo.
ple who had given $100 in previous
years "

Burg said the largest single dona»
tion was $500.

“The donation helped our spirits a
lot," she said. "We received it to-
ward the end of the phone-a-thon
and we were having a hard time get-
ting donations.“

Lance Olsen,

Bea Opengart
giving reading
tonight at UK

By BOB Sl-INO
Staff Writer

Tonight. two local writers will ap-
proach the same subject — writing
through two vastly different
forms and ideologies during a read-
iiiv. in the Peal Gallery of the MI.
King Library.

The writers are UK's Lance Olsen
and Bea Opengart from Transylva-
nia University

The writer most familiar to the
UK audience will be Olsen, an assis-
tant professor in UK's English de—
partment. Olsen is a graduate of the
prestigous Iowa Writers Workshop
and is the author of a Ellipse of
Uncertainty. a critical guide to post-
modernism.

()ne of the works Olsen will read is
a short story that was just finished
over the weekend. “It's a love song
to the TV set.“ he said. “TV's al~
ways getting a bum rap and people
say that it‘s the bane of civilization,
but I think that it's one of the 20th
century's greatest inventions.“

The story will deal with a number
of television genres, including MTV.
without dealing with any particular
show. It was written in the post-
modern style. a style that Olsen pre-
fers. “It's an experimental style
that lets you play around with lan-
guage and watch language do tricks
on the page.“ said Olsen. “It deals
with plot and character development
on a secondary level. I want to play
with old realist conventions and turn
them on their heads."

Realism has come back into domi-
nance, Olsen said, and although he
considers it a perfectly valid form,
he said it tends to see the world with
one head in a clam. “Postmodern
ism jars one's perspective and takes
that head out of the clam," said
Olsen. “It gets you to wake up from
your dreamy little view of the world
and see what may or may not be
going on."

Like MTV, Olsen‘s short story con-
SISIS of a lot of brief images that
give way to another image without
any certain logic “It's like MTV be
cause I watch so much of it," said
()lsen. “At the end of a hard day, I
like nothing better to do that sit
down and watch my MTV."

Bea Opengart. who teaches fresh-
man studies at Transylvania Univer-
sity and holds the title, Artist in
Residence for the Kentucky Arts
Council, will read three different
groups of her poems.

“Some of them are meditations
and descriptions of physical objects

and what it's like to be in the physi-

says something about the way I look

T-Bone Burnett wraps satire
around catchy guitar hooks

By ERIK REECE

THE TALKING ANIMALS
T-Bone Burnett
CBS Records

T-Bone Burnett writes such catchy

' guitar hooks that it’s easy to forget

what a sardonic songwriter he is.

And Burnett‘s satire is of the kind
that those it is aimed at probably
wouldn't get it anyway.

Burnett has never been what you
would call an ambitious artist. His
progression as a soloist has been
about as quiet and overlooked as the
stint he played on Dylan‘s Hard
Rain Tour. And it seems that Bur-
nett is just as happy laying down
guitar tracks for/and producing
someone else’s album as he is for
himself (see Elvis Costello‘s King of
America). Perhaps even more so.

But his solo efforts are as undenia-
ble as they are overlooked. His ‘82
EP, Trap Door, would make the
heartless swoon. It's just funny
enough to keep you from crying.

Well, The Talking Animals is a de-
parture from the melancholia of
Trap Door, but it keeps up all of the
playful jabs and serious shots of
Burnett‘s '83 LP, The Murder Weap-
on.

“Monkey Dance” and “The Killer Moon” are
Burnett’s versions of rock 'n’ roll Darwinism,
tinged with just a dash of Freud to keep things
interesting. Not that Burnett is an incredibly
high-brow writer. The lyrics always play second

fiddle to the music.

“You never said it was a bed of
roses/But you never said it was a
bed of nails," Burnett opens the
album with on “The Wild Truth." It
is the LP’s only actual soapbox of a
song. “I get the feeling that as soon
as something appears in the paper it
ceases to be true," Burnett tosses
off in street~poet fashion. His mix-
ture of cool crooning and a deadpan
delivery makes Burnett's music re-
freshingly experimental while
grounding it in familiar, jangling
chord variations.

“Monkey Dance" and “The Killer
Moon" are Burnett’s versions of
rock ‘n' roll Darwinism, tinged with
just a dash of Freud to keep things
interesting. Not that Burnett is an
incredibly high-brow writer. The ly~
rics always play second fiddle to the
music. One gets the feeling that Bur-
nett doesn‘t take seriously the
names and ideas he throws around
— and that‘s what makes it fun.

The Talking Animals has its Share
of plain guitar frivolity — namely
with “Relentless,“ “Dance, Dance,
Dance" and “You Could book It
Up.“ And leave it to Burnett to de-
scribe a girl named Daisy Buchanan

as “a sultry baggage of about nine
teen."

“Euromad” is a hapless chronicle
of Burnett’s misadventures while
touring Europe. “Were it not for Mr.
Gordon and his fine distillery,"
sings Burnett, “I might have never
got through all this Euromisery."
Now that‘s a drinking song if ever
there was one.

However, the best thing here may
be an off-kilter ballad, “The Strange
Case of Frank Cash and the Morning
Paper." A winding tale too long to
recapitulate, let it just be said that
this is a postmodern meta-song in
which the character rebels against
the songwriter. It would bring a
smile to the lips of John Barth. And
it probably belongs near the back of
the Great Norton‘s Anthology in the
sky.

Sad to say (I hate to say it and
you hate to hear it), Burnett's duet
with Bono, “Purple Heart." is the
most disappointing track present. A
pared-down, twonote political/reli»
gious allegory, the song just isn‘t
made for much milea,'e. 'l‘hree
chords is one thing, but two notes?

No matter. Burnett get enough
help from the likes of Mitchell
Froom, Peter Case and Cait O'Rior-
dan (Mrs. Costello) to set The Talk-
ing Animals on its feet and bounding
through the underbrush.

0Committee passes bill

Continued from Page I

Barrows DsVersaities, would pay
money to parents equally out of the
endowment fund.

Barrows said this idea would en-
courage poorer parents in the state
to save for their childrens' college
education, because the parents know
they would be receiving money out
of the endowment fund proportional
to what others receive.

It would in effect, Barrows said,
make the decision of poorer people
who have to make the tough decision
of whether to save for college easi-
er.

Karem, however, said the amend-
ment would act as a “disincentive"
for people to invest in the savings
plan because parents would be more
likely to invest just a minimum
amount of money to receive state
funds from the trust.

The bill had received support from
members of several higher educa-
tion groups across the state who
cited recent changes in federal stu~
dent financial aid laws that have
made it harder for many middle-in—
come families to receive grants.

The savings plan will draw atten-
tion to the importance of sending
children to college, said Ken Walk-
er, executive finance director for the
Council on Higher Education. And
the “asset of this bill is that it is a

“We‘re going to need
more of this in the

future."
Davld Stockham,
director financial aid

plan that will be sanctioned by the
state."

David Stockham, director of finan-
cial aid at UK, agreed. He said the
college—savings plan would encour-
age long-term financial planning on
the part of parents.

“We’re going to need more of this
in the future," Stockham said. The
trend in federal government recent-
ly has been to back away from fi-
nancial aid.

In other committee action yester-
day:

0 The education committee unani-
mously passed a bill that would
make the terms of university board
of trustee members four years to
run concurrent with the governor’s
term in office.

Currently, trustee members at the
state’s eight universities serve six-
year terms. In 1982, however, a cir-
cuit court ruled that the six-year
term was unconsitutional.

(‘ontinucd from Page I

“This (the Kappa Alpha Theta
house) is our core,” Botkins said.
“This is our home base."

“I think we fan out from here."

Botkins closed his announcement
by saying that “we're gonna target
the freshman class this year.“

Susan Brothers, a former SGA
senator at large, previewed the Bot~
kins ticket for the crowd.

Botkins and McCain are “very
committed to student government
and it’s very important that you
have that," Brothers said.

“There‘s never a dull moment
around these two and I think that
everyone would see that if they were
elected president and vice presi-
dent," she said.
