Acid rain to be focus
of 2-day conference

By TIFFANY SIMMONS
Contributing Writer

Environmental experts and public
officials will address the problems
and possible solutions of acid rain
in Appalachia at a conference to be
held at UK this week.

“Environment and Technology in
Appalachia" is this year's theme for
the Appalachian Center‘s “Confer-
ence on Appalachia" Thursday and
Friday in the Student Center. It is
co-sponsored by the Canadian gov-
ernment and the American Society
of Agricultural Engineer.

During the conference 30 speak-
ers will offer their views on the
current status of the environment in
Appalachia and the implications of
technological and environmental
change.

They also will explore various
aspects of environmental health and
present innovative programs and
strategies for addressing environ-
mental issues in the region.

Jim Bradley, minister of environ-
ment in Ontario, will be speaking
about the Canadian perspective on
acid rain in his speech, “Remarks
on Acid Rain," at 12:30 pm. Fri-
day.

“The Canadians don’t have the
chemical buffering capacity that the
US. has, so the acid rain affects
the Canadians much more than it
does the Americans," said Wayne
Davis, a professor in biological sci-
ences. “Most of New York and
New England is also affected by
acid rain."

David Bates will speak on
“Health Effects of Acid Rain," with

an opposing viewpomt from Glenn
Gibian. who represents the Ken-
tucky Governor‘s Office for Coal
and Energy Policy.

Because of its coal industry, Ken-
tucky has a defensive attitude to-
ward acid rain, Gibian said. But he
said that the state is trying to soft-
cn its impact on the environment.

“We recognize that acid rain ex-
ists and is a real problem, and coal
hunting is one of many causes," he
said. “The information we got from
scientists is that it is implicated in
some causes, but does not lead to a
serious crisis. However, the pollu-
tion that is causing acid rain is de-
creasing under the current Clean Air
Act, and efforts to control it will
cost a lot of money, and I don't
think it is warranted at this time.”

Other topics to be discussed at
the conference include “Atmospher-
ic Deposition and Its Potential Sig-
nificance on the Hard Wood Forest
Ecosystem," “Acid Rain and Water
Quality Issues" and “Solid and Haz-
ardous Waste Issues."

Each presentation will last about
one hour. Except for a few panel
discussions. the presentations will
be grouped in pairs.

A public forum on “Appalachian
Citizen Action to Preserve the En-
vironment" will be held at 2 pm.
Thursday. Representatives of three
grass-roots environmental groups
will lead the discussion, which is
open to both conference registrants
and the general public.

Registration for the conference is
$25. For more information, call the
Appalachian Center at 257-4852.

Bill would reduce defaults
on loans to college students

By JANE NORMAN
USA TODAY/Apple College
Information Network

WASHINGTON —— Sen. Tom
Harkin, D-lowa, is pushing a bill
that he has said would reduce stu-
dent loan defaults by SlS billion
over the next five years.

In his first year as chairman of a
Senate subcommittee that deals
with higher education funding, Har-
kin said he became distressed that
81.9 billion was spent every year
to cover defaults in the student loan
program.

Many of the problems arise at
unscrupulous proprietary or trade
schools that recruit low income
students.

Harkin said 57 percent of the
schools across the country with de-
fault rates of more than 20 percent
are proprietary schools, as are 75
percent of those with default rates
that top 50 percent.

Harkin’s bill would require that
all students without high school di-
plomas pass a test developed by an
independent organization approved
by the education secretary.

Current law sets no standards or
regulations other than that students
may receive federal loans if they
demonstrate an “ability to benefit"
from a school's curriculum.

Harkin’s bill also would bar
loans to first-time students until 30
days after classes had begun.
Schools with high default rates
would have to implement a refund
policy based on how long the stu-
dent attended the school.

The bill also would standardize
the method of figuring default rates
and would require institutions
whose rates are higher than 25 per-
cent to enter into tour-year plans to
cut defaults.

The bill is pending before a Sen-
ate subconirriittec and probably will

not be taken up until next year.

The Senate earlier this year ap—
proved student loan default legisla-
tion, but Harkin said he thought
that additional lllCd\llfc‘\ w erc need-

ed.

Pam McKuiney, Harkin's press
secretary, said his bill contained
measures that the Department of
Education “can't or won‘t do."

She said Harkin. who tangled
with federal officials at hearings on
student loans earlier this year,
would be “:ery pleased" if the de»
partntent ould make an effort to
cut the ticlaLtlt rate, but “he isn't

If you‘ve been having trou-
ble finding the phone numbers

and University departments,
your problems soon will be
solved

The 1988—89 UK Faculty-
Student-Staff Directory, more
commonly known as the cam-
pus phone book, will be deliv—
ered to the Student Government
Association office today. '

Campus directories will be
delivered to students who live
in residence halls and greek
houses by Friday, according to
SGA President Sean Lohman.

Off-campus students can pick
up the directories in the SGA
ofﬁce, 120 Student Center, be-
ginning this afternoon.

The directory includes stu-
dent, faculty, staff and depart-
mental phone listings as well
as other campus information,
including a campus map and
information about UK Student
Health Services.

The directory also contains
electronic mail addresses for
campus faculty and staff and a
new section listing campus fac-
simile machine numbers.

The directory’s cover this
year is "absolutely beautiful,"
Lehman said. It features a pho-
tograph of Memorial Hall in
autumn, with an “autumn
leaves” motif across the top.

Lohman credited SGA Exec-
utive Director of Student Ser-

SGA to distribute
campus directories

vices Sarah Coursey with mak-
ing the directory “a lot easier to
read, which was one of the
goals.”

Lohman said previous directo-
ries “would go from health ser-
vices, then it would have emerv
gency numbers, then something
about PPD (Physical Plant Di-
vision). then something about
SAB (Student Aetivities Board)
—~ it was just really hard to

The UK directory is produced
by SGA in conjunction with
University Directories of Ra-
leigh, N.C. SGA receives
$20,000 for working with Uni-
versity Directories on the book.
University Directories sells and
prints advertising in the book,
using information provided by
the UK Registrar’s Ofﬁce.

Funds from the directory go
into the SGA general fund.
SGA is producing 23,000 of the
directories this year, Lohman
said.

Coursey worked over the
summer with the Registrar‘s
Office and University Directo-
ries personnel to re—organizc the
directory, Lehman said.

The student information in
the directory comes from the
students‘ information on f ilc
with the registrar in September
I989. In order to be listed cor-
rectly in the next UK directory,
students should make sure that
the Registrar‘s Office and SGA
have their current address and

September.

The lnterfralernity (‘ouncil alco»

clarify the new ll-‘C alcohol policy
that prohibits lratemities from buy-

The alcohol committee came up
with five dL‘IlnlllUlH of what Vio-

According to the new guidelines,
centrally distributed alcohol is
“mass hooch, alcoholic mixtures

More than four people “sharing a

ternity house constitutes central
distribution.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Sitting in
a jail cell after being arrested on co-
caine-trafficking charges almost
two years ago, University of Louis-
ville halfback Dee Smith knew he
had two choices —- break down or
fight.

He chose to ﬁght.

“If you fight and survive it, I
think you become a stronger person
mentally,” Smith said. “I’d hate to
have somebody experience what I
went through, but I think I’m
about to rise to the top again.”

Smith, a senior, took the first
18 step two weeks ago in a loss at
1 2 Tulsa when he accounted for 295

7 all-purpose yards and scored a

touchdown in his debut with the

Dee Smith decided
to ‘fight’ at U of L

carries, returned
four kickoffs for
88 yards and
three punts for
74 yards.

“1 just went
out and gave it
my all. I was
trying to do
whatever I could
to help the team
come out with a

win," he said. “I was ready because
it was an accomplishment just be-
ing out there again."

There was a time last year when
Smith wondered whether he would
ever play football again.

Smith, 20 at the time and a wide
receiver at UK, was arrested in Cin-
cinnati on Feb. 26, 1988, by
agents of the U.S. Drug Enforce-
ment Administration on two charg-
es of aggravated trafficking and
preparation to distribute.

He then spent eight days in jail.

“It was a nightmare. There’s
nothing worse," Smith said. “I
don't try to look back and think
about that at all. I don’t even really
like talking about it. It‘s just a
mistake that I made and I paid for
that mistake.”

The charges were eventually re-
duced to permitting drug abuse, a
misdemeanor, and Smith — who
maintained his innocence through-
out — was ordered by a judge to
perform 60 hours of community
service. He fulfilled that commit-
ment last summer by working with
a boys’ club, a rest home and a
community center in his hometown
ofPaducah.

While awaiting trial, Smith en-
rolled at Louisville for the 1988
fall semester on the advice of his
high school coach, Allan Cox.

“Dee wanted to go to school,
work on his degree and try to
straighten his life out," Cox Said.
“I don’t think he realistically enter-
tained any thoughts of getting to
play again in college. I thought his
only chance would be at Louis-
ville.”

Smith was given no assurances
by U ofL coach Howard Schnellen-
berger regarding a tryout. But after
his case was resolved satisfactorily,
he was allowed to walk—on because
he was in good standing with the
university.

Then on the eve of Louisville’s
season opener at Wyoming last
month, Smith was declared ineligi-
ble by the university because he
hadn’t met the NCAA’s residency
requirement for transfers. His moth-
er had ﬂown to Laramie to watch
the game.

“It really got me down.“ he said,
“but I’d been through so much al-
ready and I just had faith that it
would work out."

Smith only took three hours of
courses last fall. NCAA rules re-
quire a transfer athlete to be a full«
time student (12 hours) for two se-
mesters, excluding summer school,
and to accumulate 24 credit hours
before becoming eligible. Smith
earned 24 hours by adding 12 last
spring and nine in the summer.

An appeal to the NCAA’s Legis-
lation and Interpretation Committee
was turned down, and on Sept. 29 a
Jefferson Circuit Court judge denied
Smith’s request for a temporary in
junction that would have forced
Louisville to declare him eligible.

Smith was declared eligible two
weeks ago by the NCAA Council,
the institution's highest body.

Jerry Claiborne
suspends No. 3
split end Jones

Stall reports

UK split end Alfred Jones has
been suspended for violating a team
rule, UK coach Jerry Claibomc said
yesterday.

“Alfred Jones has been suspended
for an indefinite period of time,“
Claiborne said in a news release.
“This suspension is not permanent,
and he could mum to the team be—
fore the season is completed."

Claiborne said Jones will miss
Saturday‘s game against the Uni-
versity of Cincinnati but could pos-
sibly return for the remaining
games against Vanderbilt, Florida
and Tennessee.

Jones. a 65 senior from Oak
Ridge, Tenn, has caught four pass—
es for 58 yards this season. He was
the No. 3 split end behind John
Holden and Neal Clark.

Trustbusters? . . . Coors-Stroh, GM-Chrysler deals to test Bush administration

USA TODAY/Applo Collogo
hiormatlon Network

WASHINGTON — Once upon a
time, when presidents spoke softly
and carried big sticks, the U. S.
government had a tough anti- trust
policy.

In those days, the idea of Coors
acquiring Stroh, or General Motors
and Chrysler forming a joint pro-
duction company would have un-
leashed a battalion of trust-busters
determined to bust up the deals.

But U. S. anti‘ trust policy
changed radically' 1n the 19803.

After an eight-year relaxation of
government scrutiny of mergers un-
der the Reagan administration, the
future of US antitrust policy is
uncertain, many analysts say.

Now as the Bush administration
begins to define its course, two
prominent deals emerging from De-
troit could help signal just how
tough — or easy —— the Bush team
will be on business combinations.

Anti—trust legal experts are close-

ing beer, wine and liquor producers
to put health-warning labels on
their cans and bottles by Nov. 18.

Most in the alcohol industry,
which is not too happy with the
government regulation. are waiting
until the deadline to comply.

But in many areas of the country,
Miller’s time came a month early.
Cans and bottles of Miller High
Life, Miller Genuine Draft and
Miller Lite sponjng the new warn-
ing label have begun appearing on
shelves.

“We believe we’re the first, but
we don't particularly strive to take
any glory in saying that,” said
Miller Brewing Co. spokesman
Steve Forsyth. “We just felt that if
it’s going to be a requirement, we
might as well just go ahead and do
it."

The warning label reads:

“GOVERNMENT WARNING:
(1) According to the surgeon gener-
al, women should not drink alco-
holic beverages during pregnancy
because of the risk of birth defects.
(2) Consumption of alcoholic bev-
erages impairs your ability to drive
a car or operate machinery, and may
cause health problems."

The warning is designed to curb
alcohol abuse and birth defects
caused by alcohol consumption.

The law requiring the labeling
was co-sponsored by Rep. John
Conyers, D-Mich., and Sen. Strom
Thurrnond, R—S.C.

“We are hoping the warning la-
bels will raise awareness of the dan-
gers of alcohol consumption, espe-
cially during pregnancy,” said
Karen Lieberman, an official with
the Center for Science in the Public
Interest, a Washington-based health
group that lobbied strongly for the
label law. “Alcohol-related birth de-
fects are the leading preventable
cause of birth defects."

Brewers, distillers and wineries
argued adamantly against the law
because they said that it would have
little effect on alcohol abuse.

“We believe the information con-
tained on the label is common
knowledge to the consumer, and
therefore, we don't believe the con-
sumer will be surprised," said Ste-
phen K. Lambright, vice president
and group executive for Anhcuser-
Busch Cos., makers of Budweiser.
the top-selling beer in the United
States.

READ THE KERNEL

ly watching the Justice Depart-
ment's response to the proposed
Coors-Stroh combination.

The proposed $425 million ac-
quisition of Detroit-based Stroh
Brewery Co.. the nation's third-
Iargest brewer, by No. 4 Coors
Brewing Co. of Golden, Colo.,
would further consolidate the al-
ready highly concentrated beer busi-
ness. where four companies control
more than 80 percent of US. beer
sales.

“The way they handle that case
will be the first hard evidence for
the business community on where
they will draw the line" on mer-
gers, said William E. Kovacic. a
former Federal Trade Commission
antitrust attorney and now professor
of law at George Mason University
in Virginia.

James F. Rill, the Justice De-
partment’s new anti-trust chief, is
expected by anti-trust lawyers to
take a somewhat tougher line to-
ward mergers than his Reagan ad-
ministration predecessors.

The General Motors-Chrysler
proposal, in which the No. l and
No. 3 domestic automakers propose
a new joint venture to produce
manual transmissions, “is some-
thing that should be looked at very
carefully," by anti-trust officials,
said Jonathan W. Cuneo, former
counsel to the House antitrust sub-
committee.

Cuneo is now counsel to the
Washington-based Committee to
Support the Antitrust Laws, a law-
yers‘ group advocating strict anti-
trust enforcement.

Cuneo and other authorities inter—
viewed generally agreed that the
GM-Chrysler deal probably will
have an easier time passing govern-
ment rexicw than Will the big beer
ntcrgcr.

Manufacturing joint ventures “are
rarely problems for anti-trust,” said
Robert Pitofsky, a professor and
former law dean at Georgetown
University. “It’s only when you get
into joint marketing that there
might be a problem."

The Coors-Stroh deal, which has
been challenged in court by other
brewers, may indicate how strictly
the new antitrust team at the Jus-
tice Department will enforce the
1984 merger guidelines developed
in the Reagan administration.
Some private experts believe that
the big beer deal violates those
guidelines.

Based on sheer numbers alone,
the Coors-Stroh merger sets off an
anti-trust warning light, some legal
experts say.

The department uses a merger in-

dex that measures the anti-
competitive heat given off by a
proposed consolidation. The index
gauges how much the merger could
increase the concentration of market
power, which could lead to illegal
behavior such as price-fixing or
predatory pricing.

Anti-trust analysts look at shares
of market, and the beer industry is
already dominated by Anheuscr-
Busch (about 41 percent of U.S.
beer sales), Miller Brewing (about
21 percent), Stroh (about 11 per-
cent), Coors (about 9 percent) and

(‘1. Heileman Brewrng (about 7 per-
cent).

Translating that to a merger-index
number, the market shares are
squared (41 times 41 yields a 1,681
index number for Anhcuser Busch)
and then added up _.. producing an
index number of 2,373 for the five
beer companies before the (‘oors-
Stroh merger.

Any industry that reaches 1,8(X)
on the rndcx is considered “highly
concentrated.“ The (‘oors-Stroh
merger would raise the 1111ch to
about 2,571.
