Jesse Jackson (above) greets supporters when he
arrived in Lexington yesterday at Blue Grass Field.

Jackson came to Lexington to discuss the new
Toyota plant with its officials and the possible ramifica-
tions it. and other plants, will have for American work-
ers.

He stressed that any trade the U.S. conducts with
Japan should be conducted with fairness on both sides
and Japanese officials should respect the rights of
Americans working under them.

Jackson also stressed that American blacks and
whites must pull together to fight “economic violence."
which threatens both races.

presidential candidate in 1984 and a possible candidate

Jackson talks
about Toyota

Speaker says people need
to battle ‘economic violence’

By JAYE BEELER
Staff Writer

and WARREN HAVENS
Contributing Writer

The new Toyota plant will
bring thousands of jobs to Ken-
tucky, but yesterday it brought
the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Jackson told supporters and the
media at a press conference at
Lexington‘s Blue Grass Field that
he had come to express his con-
cern about international trade is
sues.

After a two-hour delay due to
poor weather. Jackson said he
was “looking for bluegrass and
horses to make sure that I‘m in
Lexington."

One concern Jackson has about
the Scott County Toyota plant is
the need for a union. saying that
it is not enough to have full em-
ployment.

“In slavery we had full employ
ment.” Jackson said.

He said the Japanese want
maximum profit but only want to
provide minimum wages and
minimum benefits.

The United States is concerned
that they do good business with
the Japanese. but in return. they
want Japan to be a good business
partner. Jackson said.

Jackson had planned to meet
with Toyota officials. but due to
the weather. the plant was
closed.

Jackson said he plans to return
to the Scott County Toyota plant
several times.

He said he also wants to visit
other Toyota plants because they
are locating away from urban
America and using large bodies
of skilled. non-union workers.

“Trade with the Japanese
should be free. fair and recip-
rocal.“hesaid.

Japan is now the No. 1 trading
partner with South Africa. while
the United States is second. Jack-
son said.

He said racial confrontation in
the United States should be less
of an issue because "tremendous
economic hardship is upon our
land."

He said the law protects black
rights today because acts of ra-

cial violence are immoral and il«
legal, However. he said. econom—
ic violence is similar.

"Economic violence is immoral
and illegal ~ like closing plants
. . , driving people out of hospi-
tals and taking land from
farm families. “

And the only way to stop these
transgressions. Jackson said. is
for whites and blacks to join to—
gether.

"Our generation's struggle
should not be black and white."
Jackson said.

“If there is going to be a fight.
it must be at the plant gates. at
the shipyards or at the missile
sites.“

Another concern of Jackson's
was Kentucky Fried Chickens in—
vestments in South Africa ,

He said the whole world should
stop doing business with South
Africa.

Although Kentucky Fried
Chicken announced their inten—
tion to divest from South Africa
this morning. Jackson said he
wanted to make sure their pullout
came by a certain date.

He brought laughter and ap-
plause when he mentioned that
their pullout coincided with his
visit to Kentucky.

“They're too vulnerable to sus-
tain a boycott." Jackson said.
“Too many people make good
chicken."

Diane Woods. coehairwoman
of the 6th Congressional District.
said she hopes Jackson‘s visit
will help build support for the
Kentucky chapter of the National
Rainbow Coalition. said .

The Rainbow Coalition is a po—
litical organization that started
with Jackson's 1984 campaign for
the Democratic nomination for
president, Woods said.

When asked if he would be a
candidate for United States presi-
dent in 1988. Jackson said he
hadn‘t decided yet.

He said his first concern is that
the Democratic party regain the
White House in 1988

“I will know in the spring.“
Jackson said. “There are matters
to be resolved — friends. family
and finances."

Final season games
vital for Wildcats’
postseason hopes

By ANDY DL'MS'I‘ORF
Sports Editor

’No are in for sure.

The remaining eight. however are
toss-ups.

At least that's what Kentucky
coach Eddie Sutton said yesterday
referring to the number of South
eastern Conference teams the NCAA
selection committee will pick for
this year‘s tournament.

The two automatics Alabama
and Florida —— have, for the most
part, earned spots in the 64-team
field.

Alabama is cruising through its
season and should capture the SEC
crown, The Tide has already racked
up a 19-4 overall record 7— 12-2 in the
SEC ~— and currently anchors the
No. 12 spot in the Associated Press
Top20poll.

Alabama has four conference
games remaining (three at home).
while Florida, which closes out its
regular season at Alabama. has
three remaining SEC road games.

The Gators earned victory No. 20
with their 74-56 thrashing of the
Wildcats on Saturday, marking only
the second time a Florida team has
reached the 20—win plateau.

And 20 wins, by most coaches'
standards. earns a free ticket to the

NCAA‘s festivities at the end of the
season.

Florida, AP's 18th-ranked team, is
a half game behind the Tide with a
12-3 SEC slate.

The remaining eight conference
schools. however, will battle it out
during the next two weeks and in the
conference tournament in hopes of
being one of the chosen few.

Sutton. whose Wildcat team is
right in the thick of the fight, said it
is a wide open race.

“The balance of the SEC, once you
get past the first two teams, has
been a surprise,“ he said at yester-
day‘s weekly press conference. “If
you look past Alabama and Florida.
those other teams are about the
same,

"That‘s why the coaches have
been stressing on the players why
these next two weeks are so impor»
tant."

Georgia and Kentucky are cur-
rently tied for third place in the con-
ference with 843 marks. Kentucky is
15": overall. while Georgia stands at
15—8.

And the Wildcats, losers to the
Bulldogs in Freedom Hall back in
December. still have a trip to
Athens on the itinerary.

Things are finally beginning to
lighten up for the Lady Kats.

After a grueling part of their
Southeastern Conference schedule
that saw the Kats drop three of eight
games, Coach Terry Hall said her
13-9 team is ready for a breather.

But it‘s getting late in the season,
and with the SEC race lost, UK’s re-
maining four regular-season games
are vital if the Kats are to receive a
bid to the NCAA tournament.

Hall said she thinks her squad lS

after an 83-76 triumph over the Flor-

Mississippi, is a team Sutton said
should make the NCAA bill.

Auburn and Mississippi are a
game behind the Wildcats with 7-7
SEC records and identical 14-9 over-
all marks.

And waiting close behind is Van-
derbilt, the Wildcats‘ next opponent
at home tomorrow night. C.M. New-
ton’s Commodores, even though they
are 5-9 in the conference, pose a
threat to any team in the confer-
ence, Sutton said.

The Kentucky coach said he hoped
that his team could go to the SEC
tournament on March 5 with 18 vic-
tories to ensure a better chance of
reaching the NCAA tourney. The
Wildcats have five more regular-
season games, four of which are
conference ga mes.

“I hope that we stay on a roll like
we are,” Hall said, “because we’re
gaining momentum."

And tonight may be a golden op-
portunity for the Kats when they
travel to the Queen City to play the
Cincinnati Lady Bearcats.

With a dismal 4-19 record, Laurier
Pirtle’s squad has experienced any-
thing but prosperity this year.

game since since Jan. 28 when they

Since then, UC has dropped its

Things began optimistically
enough this year for the Lady Bear-
cats.

With three starters returning from
a 17-13 team that finished second in
the Metro Conference, the rookie
coach had high expectations for her
team.

Yankees lose to Mattingly in arbitration

By JOHN NELSON
Associate Press

NEW YORK —— Don Mattingly of
the New York Yankees yesterday
became the highest-paid player pro
duced by 13 years of salary arbitra-
tion, winning a one-year contract
worth $1,975,000.

That surpassed the $1,850,000 con-
tract won last Friday by pitcher
Jack Morris of the Detroit Tigers.

Mattingly, however, trails Jim
Rice of the Boston Red Sox. Eddie
Murray of the Baltimore Orioles and
Mike Schmidt of the Ptu'ladelphia

Phillies. who are believed to make
more than $2 million a year.

The Yankees had offered Matting-
ly $17 million. Arbitrator Arvid An-
derson heard the case Monday in
New York and, restricted to picking
either the figure offered by Matting-
ly or the Yankees, chose the larger
amount.

Decisrons also were reached yes-
terday on two other arbitration
cases heard the day before. Both
players — outfielder Kevin McRey-
nolds of the New York Mets and
pitcher Danny Cox of St, Louis -—
werelosers.

0f the 19 cases resolved thus far,
management has won 12.

Mattingly and his agent, Jim Kri-
vacs of Clearwater, Fla., had been
trying to negotiate a long-term deal
with Yankees owner George Stein-
brenner, who offered a two-year
contract reportedly worth $3.5 mil-
lion. Krivacs and Mattingly rejected
the offer and decided to go through
arbitration.

“There were no darts thrown from
their side to us, or from our side to
them during the negotiations," Kri-
vacs said.

Mattingly settled on the 51.975.000
figure as an apparent appeasement

to Steinbrenner, who said he would
refuse to make any new deals worth
$2 million per year.

“I'm very happy and very pleased
with the decision,” Mattingly said
through Krivacs.“l‘m happy that
it’s over.“

Mattingly won a Gold Glove at
first base last year and batted .352
with 113 RBI and 31 homers. He set
club records with 238 hits and 53
doubles. In 1985, Mattingly hit .324
with 35 homers and an"'mnericarr

League-leading 145 RBI: lie-won the.

AL batting title in 1984, hitting .343.

Ron Allen, director of student athlet-
ic admissions, said the 1,000 tickets
will sell quickly.

Guest tickets are $6 each and can
be picked up at Memorial Coliseum
today between9a.m.and4p.m.

Sweat looks like she will be the
fourth Lady Bearcat forced to sit out
because of an aggravated achilles
tendon.

Offensively, UC is basically a one-
player team.

Leading the Lady Bearcats is se-
nior Jane End who is averaging 16.1
points per contmt. The 5-foot-6
guard is only 17 points away from
hitting the 1,000point plateau.

The only other UC player in dou-
ble digits is junior forward Gina Wil-
liams with an 11.6 average. Wil-
liams‘ counterpart under the basket.
Michelle Melzoni, is contributing 6.7
points a game.

Tonight’s game should present an
interesting contrast of styles with
Cincinnati's pattern-oriented offense
against UK’s transition game.

The one thing Hall said she hopes
her team can do the rest of the sea-
son is build its confidence level back
to the point where it was in Decem-
ber — when the Lady Kats at one
point owned a perfect record — and
receive an NCAA bid.

“If we can get our confidence
level back up to where’it could be,"
she said, “I think we‘re going to be
a competitive team."

to students

Allen said that 1,500 tickets to both
the Ole Miss game on Feb. 28 and
the Oklahoma contest on March 1
will be on sale to students only.

Students need a validated ID and
activity card to pick up tickets.

 Kentucky National Guardsmen
assist stranded dairy farmers

The Associated Press

National Guardsmen were called
out yesterday to help dairy farmers
stranded without electricity in south
central Kentucky, where freezing
rain followed by snow felled utility
lines and trees and left at least 8,000
customers without power.

Snow spread across most sections
of the state during the afternoon,
and the National Weather service
predicted accumulations of up to 3
inches by today. when the snow is
supposed to end and temperatures
rise to the mid-30s everywhere but
eastern Kentucky.

"ltoads already covered by ice
from Monday's ice storm will dete-
riorate even more overnight as they
become snow covered," the weather
service said

Lt. (iov. Steve Beshear sent 15
guardsmen with seven generators to
Hart (‘ounty and 21 guardsmen with
to generators to Grayson County so
farmers could milk their cows, said
Don Armstrong, a spokesman for
the state Disaster and Emergency
Services. Beshear was acting in the
absence of Gov. Martha Layne Col-
lins who 1S in Japan.

There are 17 more farms without

one to another, " Armstrong said.

sued a declaration of emergency for
Hart County, where 4,000 customers
had no power and were not expected
to get it back until close to the end
of the week.

“It doesn't look like it‘s improving
a whole lot,“ Lang said. The county
had set up 10 shelters in schools,
churches, community centers and
fire stations.

Electric company and road crews
tried to clear downed power lines
and trees that were preventing safe
passage by emergency vehicles but
were having little success.

About 4,000 customers had no
power in Grayson and Edmonson
counties.

The snow that followed the sleet
and smothered roads already glazed
with ice also kept schools closed,
work hours staggered and shovels in

citement and the desire to im-
prove and "kept the young play-
ers who were naive enough to
believe in him," Foley said.

Shula‘s success comes from his
“ability to communicate and or-
ganize." he said Foley stressed
this same communication as the
key to living.

‘tiur commissron as believers
is to be someone in somebody
else's life.” he said. There are
people who pass and ignore each
other. especially on the streets
and til the halls of universities. he
said. But “this reaching out and
saying hello a people need that."

"It‘s important for us to realize
how many people we have the op-
portunity to touch," Foley said.

“I need a source of power and

source of strength to help me be
the person I want to be," Foley
said. Inspiration from other peo-
ple (and his faith) has served
thatpurpose.

The strongest people grow from
unexpected things in their lives.
he said. “It seems like from the
most devastating defeats come

“I haven't done much growing
when things were going good," he
said.

During Foley's career. injuries
played a major role.

“What I did best for 11 years
was to get hurt. I knew all the
nuns at St. Mercy (Hospital) on a
first—name basis,” Foley said. He
was hurt seven times in 11 years.

Foley talked often about his
Catholic upbringing and his life
as an adopted child.

like median until it could be pumped
into another tanker, said police
spokesman Bob Yates.

Morning commuters in many cit-
ies had a brief respite from the skat-
ing rink roads of Monday, after
highway crews had a chance to
catch up with their sanding and
theirsalting.

“It's been pretty quiet today. We
had all the accidents we could han—

dle last night," said dispatcher John
Nixon at the Richmond state police
post.

But by the time the commuters
got to work, they could see the snow
fall from their office windows.

“We're not out of the woods yet,"
said meteorologist Robert Klein of
the weather service‘s Louisville of-
fice.

About 40 county and independent
school districts remained closed yes-
terday, and state employees were
asked to report to their capital of-
fices in Frankfort at two different
times and let out 15 to 20 minutes
early.

”This is the first rush we've had
for rock salt," said David Lawrence.
office manager of Bellevue Home
Improvement Center, which sold 60
80-pound bags on Monday.

The slick roads were blamed for
one fatal accident, in which a John-
son County woman died Monday.

The weather service said the
storm center producing the wintery
weather will move out of the state
tonight and by tomorrow. Kentucki~
ans can look forward to high pres-
sure building into the state with
warmer temperatures.

Shiite battle for control
of west Beirut continues

By FAROUK NASSAR
Associated Press

BEIRUT. Lebanon - Shiites
fought an alliance of Druse and
communist gunmen for the third day
yesterday in a battle for control of
Moslem west Beirut that has caused
scores of casualties and set whole
neighborhoods ablaze.

Police said at least 24 people were
killed and 125 wounded yesterday in
west Beirut‘s fiercest factional
struggle for three years. They said
the toll was at least 30 dead and 150
wounded since the fighting began
Sunday.

Dozens of fires raged in rosi-
dential districts because the inten-
sity of battle kept fire engines from
getting through. Several apartment
buildings were burned and scores of
cars destroyed by gunfire and rock-
et-propelled grenades.

Grenade explosions and bursts of
fire from heavy machine guns shook
the city all day. Thousands of fami~

lies took refuge in basements and
bomb shelters.

Syria backs all the factions in-
volved. In theory they are allied in
the 12-year-old civil war with Leb-
anon's Christians, but they periodi‘
cally fight each other for domination
of the capital‘s Moslem sector.

The pro-Moscow communists have
crossed swords with the main Shiite
militia Amal since the 1982 Israeli
invasion, when the Shiites began
moving in on the communist power
base in south Lebanon

Last year, the communists joined
Walid Jumblatt‘s Druse militia. the
pro-Syrian Baath Party and Leb-
anon‘s leftist Syrian Social National—
ist Party in a new coalition called
the National Democratic Front.

Fighting in the streets halted ell
forts to locate Anglican Church
envoy Terry Waite, who has been
missing since leaving his hotel Jan.

pers for the freedom of two Ameri-
can hostages.

avoid responsibility
refusing to air ads

So the networks are worried about offensive advertise-
ments. That's understandable; after all if viewers are of-
fended, they won't buy the products and the networks Will

lose money.

But doesn‘t it stand to reason that if feminine hygiene
advertisements can be considered inoffensive enough to
run during just about every program on television, all
hours of the day and night, then just about anything can be

made inoffensive?

Well, if you‘re an NBC, CBS or ABC network represen-
tative, and the product being advertised is a condom — the

answer is no.

Last week the surgeon general, C. Everett Koop, told a
House of Representatives panel that he favors advertising
condoms on network television because the national health
threat posed by acquired immune deficiency syndrome

“overwhelms other considerations.

H

Koop has a point. The AIDS issue is a serious one.
There is no vaccine or cure for AIDS, and no one is known

to have recovered from it.

For the sake of public health, people need to be made
aware of the consequences of sexual activity. And what
better way to reach the majority of the American public

than through television?

The AIDS issue has become one of the hottest issues in
the news today, and in one way or another it has touched

just about everyone‘s lives.

The networks believe they

have a responsibility to their viewers to give them inoffen-
sive advertisements, but they also have a responsibility to
educate their viewers when possible.

While the networks have shoved the proposal to adver-
tise condoms aside, they have not put their foot down con-

cerning local stations.
