Call for 2 percent increase
still fell short of expectations

By Anne Jackson
Contributing Writer

At yesterday's Board of Trustees meet-
ing, UK President Charles Wethington said
he was pleased with Gov. Breretcn Jones‘
budget recommendations for the future of
higher education in the state and at UK.

Jones‘ recommendation will increase
UK’s operating budget 2 percent in 1994-

95 and 3 percent in 1995-96. The budgets
of Kentucky's seven other public universi-
ties' also would increase.

The increases could stop a two-year drop
in funding. which has translated into bud-
get cuts at universities and higher tuition
for students.

“I'm pleased that we are seeing a recom-
mendation for an increase rather than a de-
crease or holding steady," Wethington
sat .

President Charles Wethington about last

Dowdy said he and Wethington have
met three times over the past week in an
effort to give students and faculty more of
a say in the decision-making process.

Dowdy, whose efforts were prompted by
students' concern, added that Wethington
agreed there should be some sort of consul-

a request to “become
part of the decision-making process as far
as canceling class in concerned."

However, he apparently changed his
mind and decided not to criticize the move
in front of the board during yesterday‘s
meeting.

“I’m not here to discuss whether it was a

and former Gov. Ed-
ward T. “Ned” Breathitt, made a point of
supporting Wethington's decision. Brea-
thitt said he understood the decision after
talking to Wethington and would bear re-
sponsibility as well.
“The president has to make some tough
decisions." Breathitt said, adding that as a
former governor, he understands the difﬁ-

Nevertheless. the recommendation fell
short of expectations.

“We would have liked to have seen our
Council on Higher Education (proposal
for) 3 percent the first year and 5 percent
the second year approved," Wethington
said. “I do have concerns about our operat-
ing the institution the way we‘d like."

Wethington, however, was surprised that
the governor recommended to the General
Assembly that universities not increase tui-
tions. He said this was “a significant
change for the General Assembly to get
into the tuition-setting business. I don‘t
know if the General Assembly wants that
responsibility.“

The proposed Ceztual and Life Sciences

Library and the UK College of Engineer-
ing were the big winners in the budget lot-
tery. Jones included the library in his capi-
tal projects list and recommended funding
for a new engineering building on campus.

“I was delighted to ﬁnd the governor had
followed through on his recommendation
to fund the library.“ Wethington said.
“This is the missing piece."

Wethington expects that now the library
can get under construction by this summer.

Wethington also said he was glad that
UK‘s plan to develop a Top 25 engineering
school was supported by the governor.

nomic development of any state there

WASHINGTON — Proclaiming
progress on his promises
to break gridlock and re-
vive the nation‘s economy,
President Clinton chal-
lenged Congress last night
to move promptly on
health care and welfare re-
form.

“Our work has just be-
gun," he declared in his
fust State of the Union ad-
dress.

In the formal Republican re-
sponse, Senate GOP Leader Bob
Dole signalled a fierce election-year
battle lies ahead over health care, as
he sharply criticized Clinton's plan.

“More cost. Less choice.
More taxes. Less quality.
More government control.
Less control for you and
9. your family,“ he said in re-

marks prepared for after
Clinton completed his
speech. “That‘s what the
president’s government-
run plan is likely to give
you."

Dole called instead for a

Clinton told a joint ses- CLINTON more modest proposal that

sion of Congress that both

' reform efforts could be done this

year: “We must do both at the same
time."

Upping pressure on Congress to
pass the health-care reform plan he
proposed, Clinton —- who has yet to
veto a bill — threatened to veto any
measure that does not meet his stan-
dard of universal coverage.

“If the legislation you send me
does not guarantee every American
private health insurance that can
never be taken away, I will take this
pen. veto that legislation, and we'll
come right back here and start over
again."

ﬁrst lady Hillary Rodham Clin-
ton, the president's chief adviser on
health care, was seated in the gal-
lery between AFL-CIO President
Lane Kirkland and Jack Smith. the
chief executive officer of General
Motors.

At the top of his speech, Clinton
paid special tribute to former House
Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr.. who
died earlier this month. O’Neill‘s
eldest son, Tommy O‘Neill sat in
the gallery near Mrs. Clinton.

Clinton called the late speaker “a
giant who presided over this house
with such force and grace." drawing
the first of many rounds of ap-
plause.

he said would offer greater
access to health care for all.

Clinton took advantage of — and
some of the credit for — the im-
proving economy to call for Con-
gress to “continue our journey of re-
newal" by enacting the remainder
of his domestic program

“We replaced drift and dealock
with renewal and reform," Clinton
said.

Turning to crime. Clinton voiced
strong support for legislation that
would put 100.0(1) more police on
the beat, send three-time felons to
prison for life and ban assault weap-
ons.

“Violent crime and the fear it
provokes are crippling our society,
limiting personal freedom and fray-
ing the ties that bind us," Clinton
said.

"Those who commit crimes must
be punished, and those who commit
repeated violent crimes must be
told: Commit a third violent crime
and you‘ll be put away. and put
away for good. Three strikes and
you‘re out."

He also urged sportsmen to “join
us in a common campaign to reduce
gun violence.“ The emphmis on
crime follows polls suggesting that
crimehasbecornetheNo.lcon-
ccrn of most Americans.

The president also included a
strong pitch for overhauling the na-
tion’s welfare system.

He said his welfare reform pack-
age will withhold cenain benefits to
pregnant teens. “We will say to
teenagers, ‘If you have a child out
of wedlock, we will no longer give
you a check to set up a separate
household. We want families to
stay together."

Welfare reform was given added
emphasis in the speech after Senate
Finance Committee Chairman Dan-
iel Patrick Moynihan of New York
complained about inattention to the
problem. His committee will handle
both health care and welfare re-
form.

But clearly the centerpiece of
Clinton‘s agenda remained his
health-care plan —— which would
extend coverage all Americans.

Potholes proliferate

Aoaoelatod Prose

A giant pothole is probably forming on a roadway
near you, waiting to swallow up your tire and chal-
lenge your nerves and your driving ability.

Roadway craters are poliferating across Kentucky
partly because of plowing after the record snowfall of
last week, but ofﬁcials say the main producer‘ of pot-
holes is temperature extremes.

“It‘s a freeze-thaw cycle," Jefferson County Public
Works Director Dale Hettinger said yesterday.

“We were 20 below zero and it'll be 50 Wednes-
day," Hettinger said. “All that snow is melting and get-
ting under the pavement and the expansion and con-
traction creates the problem."

Potholes are reported especially bad along Interstate
75 in northern Kentucky, where motorists already
must dodge one construction zone after another.

The pothole potpourri even got attention from state
lawmakers yesterday. Transportation Secretary Don C.
Kelly reported that Kentucky is in for a chuckhole epi-
demic this year.

Kelly told a legislative committee that usually Ken-
tucky has less than three dozen freeze-and-thaw cycles
each year that damages roadways. But this year, the
number already is above the yearly average with some
of the traditionally worst periods of winter still ahead.

Laura White. a cabinet spokeswoman, said crews are
assessing potholes in each highway district across the
state and some patching already was under way. But
ofﬁcials wouldn’t be able to place a cost ﬁgure on the
pothole problem for at least two more weeks, she said.

Hettinger also said he couldn‘t predict how much re-

pairs to Jefferson County roadways would cost, “but it
will deﬁniwa be worse than normal."

In northern Kentucky. motorists face a pothole mine
ﬁeld on Interstate 75.

"lire (road) workers are going to be completely over-
whelmed right now," said Charles Bucklew, president
of Eaton Asphalt in Fort Wright. “We‘re going to have
thousands and thousands of potholes."

On Sunday, crews stuffed fresh asphalt into a series
of potholes in the right lane of northbound HS in Fort
Wright and Covington. which road ofﬁcials said is by
far the worst stretch of potholes in northern Kentucky.

But even when the holes are patched, they don't like
to stay that way.

The asphalt pops out quickly from the wet road, ac-
cording to Charles Meyers, state highway construction
manager.

The crews had used a cold type of asphalt, usually the
only type available in winter because asphalt plants
close facilities that manufacture the more durable hot
mixture.

The cold mix doesn't stick for long to pavement, es-
pecially wet pavement.

Monday morning. Eaton Asphalt reopened its hot-
rnix plant, and workers began ﬁlling holes on 1-75 with
hot asphalt.

Eaton Asphalt. a subcontractor involved in rebuilding
I-75‘s Death Hill near the Ohio River, needs the hot
mix because it will pave a new lane of the interstate
within the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, the company is selling hot asphalt to the
state and some cities for pothole repair.

WASHINGTON — The Clinton
administration yesterday proposed
spending $7.5 billion in federal
funds to aid earthquake victims in
California and said the ﬁgure could
well climb higher as the full extent
of the damage is determined.

White House Budget Director
Leon Panetta said the adminisu'a-
tion was sending Congress a re-
quest for a supplemental appropria-
tion of $6.609 billion. He said that

$7 .5 billion propo

Figure could climb far higher
as ﬁrll extent of damage found

amount would be in addition to
$879 million in federal contingency
funds already released for a total
federal cost so far of $7.5 billion.

Panetta said the request for emer-
gency federal relief will be sent to
Congress today with the hopes that
it can clear the legislative process in
the next few weeks.

The biggest chunk of the funds,
$3.89 billion, would go to the Fed-
eral FJnergency Management Ad-
minisuation to help those left
homeless by the earthquake.

“We view this as an emergency
situation by any deﬁnition of an

sed for

emergency," Panetta said. “What
we would ask is that Congress and
the American people approach this
situation with the same sense of
compassion and concern that we
have applied to other disasters
and that Congress act expeditiously
to approve this relief."

Panetta said the $6.6 billion re-
quest was a “placeholder" to begin
the legislative process. He said the
actual price tag likely would climb
higher and the administration would
seek additional funds as more infor-
mation on the damage is obtained.

“This is a preliminary request and
it is based on the best estimates of
the damages that we have at this
point," Panetta said.

While Panetta urged Congress to
act quickly, conservatives in both

the Senate and House already have
said they want to see the increased
federal spending offset by cuts in
other programs.

Panetta said the administration
opposes that approach, as it did a
similar effort to offset spending on
the Midwest ﬂooding last year.

“We do not think victims of this
kind of tragedy ought to be held
hostage," Panetta said.

In addition to the FEMA funds,
Panetta said, the administration is
seeking $1.39 billion to repair dam-
aged highways and $1.3 billion to
provide disaster loans to businesses
through the Small Business Admin-
istration.

In addition, other federal funds
would be channeled through the
Veterans Administration.

Crime infecting more youth,
Lexington police chief says

By Ayana Blair
Contributing Writer

Crime has made a deﬁnite shift
from adults to children, said Larry
Walsh, chief of the Lexington-
Fayette Urban County police de-
partment.

Walsh said yesterday that he has
spoken to different high schools in
Lexington and the majority of the
students believed gun

control

should be stricter. He said the ma-
jority of the students at the different
high schools he visited believe that
gun laws should be stricter.

“The violence is not just occur-
ring in the poorer neighborhoods,"
said Walsh, who spoke in the Stu-
dent Centcr about gun control and
juvenile violence in Lexington.

Juveniles have been apprehended
for ﬁghting with dangerous weap-
onry at Palomar Center and the in-
dividuals came from prominent

families, he said.

One member of the audience
commented that he noticed many
juveniles have a lack of respect for
human life, and Walsh blamed the
entertainment industry for generat-
ing such an attitude.

Walsh said the recently passed
Brady Bill is not an effective way
of controlling violence in the com-
munity since individuals still have
the means of purchasing artillery.

For example, at events like the
Gun and Knife Show at Heritage
Hall “scary-looking people and
gang members buy artillery like the
SKS and the AK-47," Walsh said.

He compared Lexington to other
communities. He said that although
Vancouver, Canada, has a popula-
tion of 2 million people, the homi-
cide rate in that city is lower than
the rate in Lexington, which has a
population is 230,000.

However, Walsh said Lexing-
ton's homicide rate decreased dur-
ing 1993, when nine homicides
were reported.

He suggested that members of the
community should influence their
Congressional representatives to
change laws so more juveniles may
be incarcerated for their crimes.

Some audience members suggest-
ed that a focus on morality and re-
ligion in the school system also
could decrease juvenile violence.

The No. 9 UK basketball team is
back in its familiar habitat. Home
from a volatile excursion to Florida
and a conﬁdence-building journey
to Mississippi State, the Cats play
host to South Carolina tonight in
Rupp Arena.

The players should be charmed
to meet the unranked Gamecocks
(5-9, 2-3 Southeastern Confer-
ence). But feelings around the
team are at best mixed.

“It's colder up here," freshman
Jeff Sheppard said. He quickly
added: “But it‘s good to play at
home again."

Sophomore Walter McCarty,
who is being heavily conﬁded in
since a season-ending injury to
Rodney Dent, might wish he was
abroad.

Rodrick Rhodes, who has

glad to be off the road. The friend-

The Cats (14-3, 4-2 SEC) do see
eye to eye on how they triumphed
at Mississippi State.

“We didn't get rattled," point
guard Travis Ford said. “We
played with a lot of conﬁdence.
We just stuck with our style of
play. In our losses. we've played
the tempo of the other team."

“We really started to turn it on in
the second half," Sheppard said.
“We turned up the intensity on our
press, and that’s what won the
game."

“We really needed the win at
Mississippi State," guard Tony
Delk said. “It built our conﬁ-
dence."

Center Andre Riddick has been
somewhat of a disappointment to
Coach Rick Pitino. After beginning
the year with ﬁve straight double

Courier-McEnroe match Feb. 4

By Doc Purcell
Staff Writer

When one thinks of tennis hot-
beds, Lexington and UK usually
don't come to mind. But next week-
end. tennis junkies will have trouble
ﬁnding a better place to be when
the past and present of the men's
professional tour converge on the
Bluegrass.

John McEnroe, a former top-
ranked player on the world circuit
and the winner of numerous Grand
Slam events, and two-time defend-
ing Australian Open champ Jim
Courier, currently ranked third
among professionals worldwide,
will meet at Memorial Coliseum on
Feb. 4 at 7:30 pm. The event will
be held in an effort to raise money

for the construction of UK’s new
outdoor tennis stadium.

UK’s men’s tennis coach Dennis
Emery expressed enthusiasm about
the event and its fund-raising possi-
bilities.

“Courier is one of the best few in
the world, and McEnroe may be the
greatest player of all time," he said
of the match, billed as the Paul
Miller Mazda Tennis Challenge.
“We would like to see the students
get out and support this, and we
would like to bring other top draws
to Lexington."

Former Wimbledon champion
Andre Agassi originally was sched-
uled to participate in place of Couri-
er but was forced to withdraw after
suffering a wrist injury that re-
quired surgery.

Sorry, Bills are back

Associated Press

ATLANTA — Here's one for all
those Bills-haters who dread the
idea of seeing Buffalo represent the
AFC for a fourth
straight time in the
Super Bowl: too
bad.

Face it, folks,
these Buffalo Bills
are a great team.

Their unprece-
dented three suc-
cessive Super
Bowl flops are
well-known.

So is the fact that the Bills are

inuu.

o“7r{ﬁ3£{9 the wartime Chica-

Super Bowls in a row — the ﬁrst

to even come close to doing it, ac-

tually — and that‘s the ﬁrst meas-

ure of greatness.

From 1933 until 1969, when it
was the NFL, only

go Bears and the
Cleveland Browns
of the early 19505
got into four con-
secutive title
games; the Browns
made six from
195055.

Chicago was 3-1
and Cleveland was

2-3 in those NFL championship

Given the top-rated players that
are taking part, Emery said, the
event is expected to raise an esti-
mated $100,000 for the stadium,
which has already received numer-
ous donations from the private sec-
tor.

Emery also stated that the new fa-
cility will include a state-of-the-art
lighting system so night matches
can be played, as well as a seating
capacity of 3,000, and eight playing
courts. The facility will cost about
$800,000.

“It‘s just something that will
make us more competitive in the
(Southeastern Conference)," Emery
said of the University‘s need for the
new stadium. Emery pointed out
that other league schools have some
of the nation’s ﬁnest facilities.
