LCC survey reveals skepticism

Results indicate many in state
disapprove of health-care plan

 

By Lance Williams
News Editor

A poll of 1,646 central Kentucki-
ans showed little support for either
the new state health-care plan or
the refomus proposed by President
Clinton.

Two Lexington Canmunity
classes conducted the survey,
which polled registered voters from
Fayette and surrounding counties
about health care, the Kentucky Ed-
ucation Reform Act and the perfor-
mance of Clinton, Gov. Brereton
Jones and the state General Assem~
bly.

About 29 percent of the poll's re-
spondents said they favored the
state's new health-care reform plan.
Thirty-one percent opposed the
plan, and 28 percent said they were
not familiar with it. Thirteen per-
cent were undecided.

The Clinton initiative fared a lit-
tle better, with 32 percent favoring
the plan, although 41 percent op-

Employees’
deaths still

 

- a mystery

 

By Perry Brothers
Staff Writer

 

The official eause of death re-
mains unknown for two former UK
employees who were found iru their
home Sunday.

According to the coroner’s re-
ports, a family member discovered
the “unresponsive" bodies of En-
nice Diachum, 81, a former College
of Business and Economics instruc-
tor; and her husband, Stephen Dia-
chun, 81, a retired UK plant pathol-
ogist, at their Tahorna Road
residence.

The coroner's office is waiting
for toxicology results on Eunice
Diachun and the results of a pend-
ing police investigation involving
Stephen Diachum before determin-
ing the causes of the deaths, the re-
ports say.

But Timothy Diachum, the
couple's son, speculated yesterday
that one of the deaths may have
been a suicide.

“It scans natural to suspect that
thae was either a natural death and
then a suicide, or an assisted death
and then a suicide," he said.

Timothy Diachun said he came
to this conclusion because his par-
ents “were not well.“

Eunice Diachun “was well into
probable Alzheimer’s," he said,
and Stephen Diachun’s memory
was “declining,” he said.

Stephen Diachun began his 41-
yeareareeratUKin l937asan as-
sistant in agronomy.

In addition to serving 10 years as
chairman of UK's plant pathology
department, he also acted as the
first director of the University Hon-
ors Program, which began in 1960.

Eunice Diachun received a law
degree from UK in 1967, mid she
taught classes at UK part-time for
several years.

Aside from Timothy Diachun of
Lexington and his wife. Jacqueline
Lee, the couple's survivors include

posed it About 17 percent said
they didn't know enough about the
plan to have an opinion.

In a related topic, poll takers
asked participants they supported
ataxhikeoncigarettestofundthe
federal reforms. Fully 52 percent
of the registered voters surveyed
said they would not approve of the
hike. Thirty-eight percent ap-
proved of the plan, and 10 percent
were undecided.

The poll results, which have a 3
percent margin of error, show a
largely negative reaction to health-
eare reform, which could be due to
negative publicity about the ef-
forts, said IJCC political science
professor Tun Cantrell, who teach-
es the government courses that
conducted the survey.

“All the hoopla is creating a lot
of doubt in people's mind,“ Can-
trell said.

He said problems encountered

_ by the Kentucky legislature during

its recent term have hurt the state
reform effort, in particular.

“Ithinkalotofpeoplearecon-
fused about what (the state govem-
ment is) doing," Cantrell said.

More than 80 LCC students
helped collect information for the
survey, which has been taken twice
a year since the fall of 1988. Can-
trell began conducting surveys with
his classes at Madisonville Com-
mumity College and continued for
18 years before coating to LCC.

Since the polls began in Lexing—
ton, Cantrell said, his classes have
picked a loser in only one election.

Cantrell said the survey also
could provide information for a po-
tential issue in the 1995 govemor's
race: 28 percent of respondents said
they would support a eandidate
who actively sought enforcing the
death penalty.

Thirty percent said it would have
a moderate influence on the vote,
while 26 percent said it would have
no impact. Only 7 percent said it
would have a moderate influence
against the candidate, and 9 percent
said it would have a great deal of
influence against the candidate.

Clinton's approval rating in-
creased from the fall 1993 survey.
Jones‘ rating dropped.

The situation surrounding UK
coach Rick Pitino and his flirta-

more interesting by the hour.

' After a day of rumors and

“We have no official

The Lakers would neither con-

Troops pull out
of Bosnian city

 

By Susan Linnea
Associated Press

SARAJEVO. Bosnia-
Herzegovina — Bosnian Serbs
blocked a UN. aid convoy headed
for Gorazde yesterday despite
pledges to allow free access, but ap-
peared to be moving heavy weap-
orus further away from the Muslim
town as demanded by NATO.

U.N. helicopters evacuated 91
more wounded people from the be-
sieged Muslim enclave for treat-
ment in Sarajevo. Hundreds more
were waiting flights.

The Serbs mostly halted their as-
sault on Gorazde on Sunday, more
than a day after NATO threatened
air strikes if they did not immedi-
ately cease fire and withdraw armor
and artillery 1.9 miles from the
town center.

NATO commanders sought U.N.
permission to conduct air strikes
Saturday, but the chief UN. official
for former Yugoslavia, Yasushi
Akashi, refused. UN. officials said
Monday he had just worked out a
truce agreement with the Serbs and
did not want to jeopardize that.

Although NATO and UN. offi-
cials reportedly had heated ex-
changes over the refusal, officials at
NATO‘s headquarters were satis-
fied Monday. They said the alliance
had received assurances its war-

 

planes would be allowed to stage

bombing runs if Bosnian Serbs ig-
nored ultinuatums.

The Serbs appeared to be abiding
by the cease-fire.

“We have good news from Go-

razde." said a

UN. spokesman,

Maj. Guy Vinet.

“The situation is

quiet. There's

some sporadic

small-arms fire,

but it‘s very lit-

tie-I.
I I“ W! Cm dr. Eric
Chaperon, another

UN. spokesman, said that “all
heavy weapons are believed to be
out" of the exclusion zone. He said
“a number" of Serb infantrymen
were still on the right bank of the
Drina River, which divides Goraz-
de. but it appeared they would
withdraw.

Chaperon said there also were in-
dications the Serbs were pulling
farther back to meet NATO's de-
mand that their troops be at least
12.4 miles front Gorazde by early
Wednesday.

The Bosnian Serb army said in a
statement that it was completing
the pquut of its heavy weapons
from the 1.9-mile exclusion zone. it

Oral arguments give public
rare glimpse of private court

 

By Richard Careiii
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON —— Clarence
Thomas rocks in his chair and says
nothing. Antonin Sealia squirms
while waiting to ask one of his
many, many questions. And from
his center seat, William H. Rehn-
quist tries to direct traffic while he
keeps an eye on the time.

Welcome to argument day at the
Supreme Court.

The high court's nine members
are among the most private of pub-
lic officials, wielding enormous
power in relative anonymity. Few
Amerimns can name most of them.

But 40 days a year over a seven-
month period, the Supreme Court
goes public. Well, as public as it
goes. And this furnishes a rare
glimpse of the human side of justic-
es best known for their legal writ-
ings.

Scalia can be funny and Rehn-
quist sarcastic; Sandra Day
O‘Connor can be demanding; John
Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Gins-
burg often are just plain relentless.

David Souter can be long-winded
— Eleni Constantine of the Nation-
al Association of Attorneys General
called his questions “verbally intri-
cate" — and Anthony Kennedy
shows a professorial style.

Harry A. Blackmun, who will re-
tire soon, seldom asks questions.
And Thomas has not asked a ques-
tion since the court‘s 1993-94 term
began in October.

Nixon funeral has

Protocol chief works to accomodate
a world of government emissaries

 

By Michael Fleeman
Associated Press

 

YORBA LINDA, Calif. —— With
a paid staff of just two, Orange
County's volunteer chief of proto-
col is scrambling to accommodate
an entire world that wants to pay its
final respects to Richard Nixon.

“I don‘t think there will ever be a
comparison to this," Gloria Ander-
son said yesterday as she juggled
ealls from around the world seeking
information on Wednesday‘s funer-
al arrangements.

There are 79 foreign consulates
in Southern California alone, and
Anderson was working with most,
if not all.

“You don’t. want to slight any-
one," she said. “But there's always
the possibility someone could be
overlooked because you have to re-
alize the largeness of this."

Nixon's body was to be flown to
Southern California today. A
closed-casket public viewing at the
Richard Nixon Library & Birth-
place in Yorba Linda will be held
through the night. The nation's 37th
president died in New York on Fri-
day, four days after suffering a
stroke.

Argument day at the nation's
highest court starts, at 10 am.
slurp. with a tradition. “Oyez,
oyez," yells the court‘s marshal. his
voice echoing off the courtroom’s
40-foot-high ceiling and marble
friezes as the robed justices take
their places at the mahogany bench.

“All persons having business be-
fore the honorable, the Supreme
Court of the United States, are ad-
monished to draw near and give
their attention, for the court is now
sitting. God save the United States
and this honorable court"

The “all persons" can include 80
lawyers sitting up front and about
200 tourists seated on a first-come.
first-in basis.

Law students and other hardy
souls, equipped with sleeping bags.
sometimes show up the night before
to earn a courtroom seat. Such con-
duct is linked to another tradition:
the court still bans television and
radio coverage of its public pro-
ceedings.

The 40 argument days, clustered
in seven two-week sessions, stretch
from the first Monday in October to
the last Wednesday in April. The
last week of arguments began to-
day.

On an argument day, up to four
cases are scrutinized. Granted re-
view months previously, each was
plucked from the 7.000 appeals that
reach the court each year. Each is
destined to yield a Supreme Court
decision that will alter or augment
two centuries of American law.

Most cases, whether historic or

armne,arearguedforanhour.A
lawyer for each side gets 30 min-
utes to elaborate and emphasize
what already was submitted in
written briefs.

No lawyer gets to talk the whole
30 minutes.

“An oral argument is very defi-
nitely the justices' show, not the
lawyers' show," said Georgia State
University law professor Stephen
Wermiel. a veteran court watcher.

“l have some sympathy with
lawyers who say they don't get
through essential points because of
the aggressive nature of the ques-
tioning from the justices," be said.

Chief Justice Rehnquist must
harbor similar sympathy. After one
argument this year, he told a law-
yer, “I think you did very well in
the four minutes that the court al-
lowed you."

“There certainly are more ques-
tions asked now," said Constantine,
who listens to dozens of high court
arguments each year. “Some ques-
tions are seeking clarification of
points made in the briefs; some
questions are not aimed at the law-
yers but at other justices."

Northwestern University law
professor Lawrence Marshall
agreed, stating that some justices
“act as advocates from the hen

Justice Scalia, perhaps the most
persistent and entertaining interro-
gator, often is cast in this role. “He

Wermiel said.

“firm or semi-firm" arrangements
to send representatives by midday
yesterday, said Jim McCracken, a
member of a Nixon Task Force
working out of the State Depart-
ment‘s Office of Protocol.

“Some countries are curious who
others are sending to get a feel for
what is appropriate," he said.

Meantime, Anderson, Orange
County’s unpaid 'chief of protocol,
and her two paid staff members
hustled to line up the needed limou-
sine and hotel accommodations for
everyone.

Yorba Linda, where Nixon was
born, is a quiet suburb of about
56,000 people that boasts Orange
County's lowest crime rate. It is 35
miles southeast of Los Angeles.

As a cold rain fell on the library
parking lot yesterday, workers
erected white tents and put finish-
ing touches on portable grandstands
capable of seating 600 people.
White folding chairs were available
for hundreds more.

Secret Service agents roamed the
grounds with clipboards. State De-

parunent officials conferred with li-
brary personnel.

Across the country, the US.
Army Military District of Washing-
ton coordinated the state funeral ar-
rangements, including flying Nix-
on's remains from Stewart Air
National Guard Base in Newburgh,
N.Y., to the Marine Corps Air Sta-

Yorba Linda.

“I think what couldbeaformida-

rather well," McCracken said.
“Then we'll ensure that everyone
gets back home."

Nixon, who will be buried on the
library grounds next to his wife,
Pat, didn't want a Washington,
DC, funeral. He realized it would
serve only as a backdrop for diplo-
macy and political discussion, said
Dimitri K. Simes, a foreign policy
expert and Nixon confidante.

“This is not a place where the fu~
ture of Washington is going to be
determined," Simes said of Yorba

School

 

By Perry Brothers
Staff Writer

After nearly a year without a
permanent director, the UK
School of Journalism and Tele-
communications has selected a
new chief. But some faculty mem-
bers say the position should have
gone to Roy Moore, the acting di-
rector since July 1.

William James Willis. the cur-
rent chairman of Boston College’s
department of communications,
accepted the school’s offer Satur-
day evening, he said in a tele-
phone interview yesterday.

Willis said he was aware of the
faculty's mixed feelings concem-
ing his appointment. and he hailed
Moore as a “fine man."

“I respect him greatly," he said.
“and 1 look forward to working

 

of Journalism finally
selects permanent director

with him and the faculty."

College of Communications and
Information Sciences Dean Doug-
las Boyd said Willis “has more
professional experience than Mr.
Moore, and Mr. Willis has more
experience as a department head
than Mr. Moore."

He added that Willis' profes-
sional background would allow
him to work with a “wider variety
of people.”

Boyd stressed, however, that
Moore “is one of the finest teach-
ers that we have in this college."

David Dick, who served as the
school’s director from 1988
through last June, issued a pre-
pared statement thanking Moore
for serving as acting director. He
disagreed with Boyd's assessment
of Moore‘s qualifications and said
he would have chosen Moore as
his successor.

“Dr. Moore has had professional
experience," Dick said. “He is a
lawyer, a nationally recognized
scholar. He is a wonderful per-
son."

Associate journalism professor
Maria Braden agreed that Moore
was well qualified for the job.

“1 think Roy has done an out-
standing job as acting director,"
she said. “He has laid the ground-
work for this new director to come
in and move us forwar .”

Braden said the faculty “very
strongly supported" Moore. but
she emphasized that the selection
process has been completed and
all members of the school should
support and work with Willis.

"He's hired," she said. “We will
work with (Willis), and we will
support him.

Moore, who begins a sabbatical
on July 1, said he appreciates the

support of the school's students
and faculty, and expreswd his best
wishes to Willis and the school.

Willis earned his bachelor's de-
gree in journalism from the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma in 1968, his
master’s from East Texas State
University in 1975, and his docto-
rate from the University of Mis-
souri-Columbia in 1982.

He was assistant city editor of
the Dallas Morning News from
1971 to 1974. managing editor of
the Garland Daily News in Texas
from 1976 to 1978, and city editor
of the Columbia Missourian from
1978 to 1980.

Willis has published several
books and has taught journalism at
five different schools.

“I am looking forward to to get-
ting back into the South,” he said.
“I want to help lead the school of
journalism into the 21st century.”

Quality of life for Ky. kids falls

S taie’s ranking
drops to 36th
in United States

Associated Press

 

 

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — An annu-
al report card that attempts to rank
states by the quality of life for
children showed bleak numbers
for Kentucky, where youngsters
are increasingly likely to be born
to an unmarried teen-ager or die
before reaching age 14.

Kentucky's rank in the 1994
Kids Count Data Book fell to 36
among the 50 states and the Dis-
trict of Columbia, down from 32
last year.

“We were sort of comfortably in
the middle in 1992, and now we’re

shifting away from the middle,"
said Debra Miller, deputy director
of Kentucky Youth Advocates. “I
was a little surprised to see our
ranking slipping a little."

She said people should under-
stand that the numbers mean
many of Kentucky’s children
could be in trouble.

The report found that a Ken-
tucky child’s likelihood of being
born to an unmarried teen-ager
rose by 30 percent from 1985 to
1991. The child’s chance of dying
between the age of 1 and 14 rose
by 28 percent.

The most alarming statistic
showed that the number of Ken-
tucky juveniles arrested for vio-
lent crimes rose 110 percent from
1985 to 1991. That’s the nation’s
third-highest increase for that peri-
od.

The data book said that in 1985
about 120 of every 100,000 Ken-

tucky juveniles were arrested for
violent crime. In 1991, that rate
had risen to almost 260 per
100,000.

Steve Fox, deputy commission-
er of social services in the state
Cabinet for Human Resources.
said Kentucky‘s rate of juvenile
violence is cause for concern. But
he noted the rate is still small
when compared with figures fq
most states.

The data book lists Kentucky 3
the 18th-lowest in terms of juve-
nile arrests for violent behavior.
Nationwide, the number of juve-
nile arrests for violent crime per
100,000 youths is 457.

Thebook is the fifth annual pro-
file of children's well-being by
the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a
private charity devoted to helping
disadvantaged children.

The survey, released yesterday,
uses 10 key indicators to assess

the conditions of children: percent
low birth-weight babies; infant
mortality rate; child death rate;
percent births to single teens;
juvenile crime arrest rate; high
school graduation rate; percent
idle teens; teen violbnt death rate;
percent children in poverty and
percent children in single-parent
families.

The latest figures in the report
date from 1991 because of the
amount of time it takes to collect
the data from all 50 states and the
District of Columbia, Miller said.

However, the indicators of child
well-being have changed each
year, making year-to-year compar-
isons of state rankings problemat-
ic. The data book provides nation-
al composite rankings for 1988
through 1994 using a consistent
set of indicators — namely those
used to derive the 1994 composite
rankings.

WASHINGTON — What's a
movie without popcorn? About
900 less calories. and no artery-
clogging fat.

Moviegoers are better off
passing up the popcorn at most
theaters. the Center for Science
in the Public Interest said yes-
terday.

That’s because about 70 per-
cent of theaters pop their corn
in coconut oil. making what
could be a healthy treat a high-
fat indulgence. researchers
from the non-profit consumer
group said.

A 16-cup medium bucket of
coconut oil popcorn has 901
calories, and 43 grams of cho-

lesterol-raising fat — more
than twice the limit of saturated
fat recommended daily.

Some large buckets of pop-
corn topped with butter contain
four days worth of saturated
fat. the center found. And even
a five-cup. kid-size bag con-
tains 14 grams of saturated fat.

”Theater popcorn ought to be

Movie popcorn
not as healthy
as some think

the Snow White of snack foods.
but it’s been turned into God-
zilla by being popped in highly
saturated coconut oil." said Mi~
chael Jacobson. executive di-
rector of CSPl. said at a news
conference.

Some theaters defend the use
of coconut oil to provide the
taste and aroma their customers
crave.

“Most people ask us why
they can't get their home pop—
corn to taste as good as theater
popcorn. The answer is the co-
conut oil." said Howard Licht-
man. executive vice president
of marketing for Cineplex Ode-
on. The Toronto-based chain
has 235 US. theaters.

Lichtrnan noted that most
people share popcorn at the
movies, seldom eating a medi-
um-size bag alone. “It’s not a
health issue; it's a small indul-
gence." he said.
