Vol. XCl. No. 116

Rep. Clarke
to introduce
tax law bill

By MARK R. CIIELLGREN
Associated Press

FRANKFURT — Rep. Joe Clarke
said yesterday his bill to overhaul
the state income tax law and raise
$156 million per year in the process
has enough votes to get out of com-
mittee.

“Whether there's enough support
to pass it is another question,"
Clarke said after filing House Bill
790.

Clarke, who chairs the House Ap-
propriations and Revenue Commit-
tee that will first consider the bill,
said he has 11 co—sponsors who are
on the committee and will vote to
send it to the full House.

The bill will be the major topic of
discussion at a closed meeting of the
House Democratic caucus scheduled
today.

Gov. Wallace Wilkinson has vowed
to veto any bill from the 1988 Gener-
al Assembly that raises taxes.

Clarke, a Danville Democrat, said
he will not press for a vote by the
full House unless he is sure there
are enough votes for passage. That
total, though, would not necessarily
be the 51 needed to override a veto.

Most of the new revenue in the
bill, about $90 million. would be
raised by conforming with federal
income tax codes. That would elimi-
nate some deductions. such as for
many individual retirement ac-
counts, and change the taxes on cap-
ital gains.

The second major component of
the revenue side of the bill elimi-
nates the deduction for federal in-
come taxes from state income taxes.
That would mean an additional $66
million in state tax revenues each
year.

Clarke said the bill has several
other attractions to reform and sim-
plify the state tax code.

The bill would reduce the number
of effective state tax rates and
brackets, eliminate tax liabilities for
hundreds of thousands of taxpayers
and simplify the calculation of tax
liability.

Under current law, anyone with a

teated LSU 95-69 to improve their overall re-
cord to 19-5 and 1 1-5 in the SEC.

By JIM WHITE
Assistant Sports Editor

For UK, the 95—69 win over
Louisiana State University last
night at Rupp Arena was
bittersweet.

With about four minutes left in
the first half and UK winning 46‘
28, UK sophomore guard and
leading scorer Rex Chapman
went up for a break-away layup

Chapman, who was called for a
charge on the play. slid off the
back of an LSU player and hit the
floor hard on his back.

He was taken out for the rest of
the half. He returned briefly at
the beginning of the second half
but was then benched. Then. be-
cause of discomfort. he was
taken to the UK Medical (‘enter
forexamination.

“His lower back was really
bothering him,“ L'K coach Eddie
Sutton said. “We were going to
take him to the Med (‘enter after
the game but he was feeling
some discomfort so we went
ahead and took him then. "

Chapman suffered a fractured
transverse process of the veric
bra. which is a small hone in the
baCk. UK'S Dr. Michael Ra) said
Chapman. who will undergo oi.
servation for the rest of the week
at Wildcat Lodge. vvill probably
not play in UK‘s game against
Syracuse this Sunday.

Ray said Chapman‘s recovery
will depend on how much rest
and comfort he receives in the
next week.

For UK. however. the win
helped to counter the loss of
Chapman.

In the first half alone. l'K had
four players who scored lll double
figures; shot 69 percent from the
field; had 15 assists and caused
12 Louisiana State turnovers

SGA votes down amendment
abolishing senators’ salaries

By JULIE ESSELMAN
Staff Writer

After much debate and accusa-
tions about trying to “scare" people
into a politically advantageous vote,
the Student Government Association
Senate last night voted against an
amendment that would have abo-
lished senators’ salaries.

In a 17-10, roll-call vote, the Sen-
ate failed to give the required 2/3
majority approval by 7 votes.

SGA senators have been paid a
salary of $150 a semester for the
past two years. The salaries total
about $10,000 a year and come out of
SGA‘s general fund. made up pri~
marily of student fees

Several senators said the role of
senator does not entail monetary
compensation.

“I honestly believe that paying
senators is something we shouldn‘t
do," said Senator at Large Bryan
Payne, the amendment‘s primary
sponsor. “If other groups were
asking for money for salaries (from
the general fund) it would be ridicu-

“To take student fees away from

amendment to make it “politically
important“ for senators to vote for
it, since SGA elections will be held
in six weeks.

But many senators were offended
by Payne‘s tactic.

“There are a lot of senators that
do a lot of work." said LCC Senator
Chris Essid. “I don't like to feel bul-

lied into a vote. Anybody who op-
poses this will be slanted by the Ker-
nel. You‘ve waited so long to do this,
What business do you have here try-
ing to scare people? “

“I‘m rather offended at the idea
that any of us are taking this job for
$150 a semester,” said Social Work
Senator Susan Bean. “1 don‘t know
anyone that‘s here for the money."

But Senator at Large Kim Leh-
man said the timing of the amend-
ment was not important.

“It adds up to about $10,000, and
there are salaries that are despera-
tely needed in other departments,“
she said. “If you were not a senator,
would you want your fees going to-
ward senators‘ salaries? "

Some of the debate centered on
the fact that the abolishment of sala-
ries would not take effect until after
this semester.

“I think it's presumptuous of us to
assume we can make judgments like
this for the senate for next year,“
said LCC Senator Betty Reed.

Senator at Large Kim Fowler also
said the decision should be left up to
next year‘s senate.

"if you‘re so gung ho about it. you
should have done it earlier so it
would affect you this year. "

An amendment to the legislation
that would retain the salaries but
emphasize the senators‘ option to re-

fuse to accept the money failed be-
cause senators said that it would be
redundant, since they already have
thatoption.

Payne said he is going to donate
his salary to Handicapped Services.

Fawn Hall to tell her side of the story tonight

By TOM PHILLIPS
Contributing Writer

Everyone has seen the name
“Fawn Hall" in the Kernel classi-
fieds, but just who is she?

“Didn't she do some sexual
things?" asked Greg Harvey. a mar-
keting sophomore.

”She slept with someone." said
Scott Norris, in journalism freeh-
man. “She‘sa model."

Actually, Hall was the former sec-
retary to Lt. Col. Oliver North and a
witness at last summer's lrancon-
tra hearings.

Tonight at a in the Student Center

Ballroom, Hall will tell her side of
the Iran-contra story.

In an informal survey done by a
UK journalism class, more than 50
people gave their views on Hall,
whose devotion to North catapulted
her into Andy Warhol‘s 15 minutes
offame.

Most people had a general idea
about who Hall was, but few said
they were willing to pay the price to
hear her story.

“I wouldn't go if it were free,"
said Annalee Cato, an English se-
nior. “She's a perfect Reaganite."

Bruce Williams, an associate pro
feeeor of political science, called
Hall an "intent celebrity.“ and said

he couldn't understand why anyone
would pay money to hear her speak.

Some people wanted to go. but for
various reasons. could not.

“No, I'm not going," said Darren
Jacoby, an advertising senior. “My
wife would kill me.“

Shannon Wortham, a third-year
metallurgical engineering student,
would only see Hall ”if she dropped
by the apartment.“

In the Irancontra hearings, Hall
said that sometimes an individual
has to go above the law, and med
that to justify her actions in the
Irancontra affair.

Joan Callahan, an assistant pro-
fessor of philosophy who teaches

ethics, said she strongly disagrees
with Hall‘s actions. calling them
“antidemocratic, even subversive."
Callahan said Hall's actions would
have been justified if the law were
“clearly unjust." but that was not
the case in Hall‘s situation.

“No one‘s above the law." said
Jeff Hammond, a business and eco
nomics freshman.

One of Hall‘s harshest critics was
Phillip McConathy. 33, who is a nu-
clear physicist and a song writer.

“She has the insidious grim deter-
mination to be in fashion."
McConathy said. “She promotes
materialism."

JUHANNESBL'HG. South Africa
»— The government yesterday
banned political activity by 18 oppo—
sition groups. including the nation‘s
largest anti-apartheid organization
and its biggest union federation. in
the most sweeping crackdown in a
decade,

Anglican Archbishop Desmond
Tutti said the move would be seen
by many government opponents as a
“declaration of war."

Law and Order Minister Adriaan
Vlok. however. said the regulations
“will contribute to a climate of sta-
bility, peaceful coexistence. and
good neighborliness among all pop—
ulation groups."

Vlok's order prohibits the United
Democratic Front. which represents
more than 2 million members. from
any activity except bookkeeping and
court action. The same order was
applied to 16 other groups. covering
most of the large militant black p0
Iitical groups in South Africa.

It gives Vlok the power to prohibit
any organization “from carrying on
or performing any activites or acts
whatsover. "

Security police notified at least
nine UDF members of restrictions
on their activities, which included
being confined to home and prohib-
ited from speaking publicly,

TURTLE IllI.l. STRING Ql'AItTI‘IT
'I‘urlle Ilill String Quartet

Since when is there a law that
says a string quartet can only play
classical music and not jazz"

They look like a typical string
quartet consisting of three violins
and a \‘lt)l(lllt't‘lltl, but their reper~
toire consists of jazz standards such

as “Stolen Moments" or ”A Night in
Tunisia.‘

What makes this group stand out
is the concept behind their composi-
tions. Simply stated, they‘ve taken
the tonal and dynamic qualities of
what are typically considered classi-
cal instruments and adapted them to
the loosely-knit style and techniques
of jazz music.

()ne of the group's major talents
comes across in its ability to make a
quartet sound like one of the Big
Bands of the ‘405. ()n "Stolen Mo-
ments," “A Night in Tunisia“ and
“Tempus Fugit,“ the quartet adapts
individual parts and tones from orig-
inal Big Band scores to produce
swells and falls just as dynamic and
effective as any full horn section.

Another talent is aired in the mas-
terful technique and creativity dis-
played by individual group members
in improvisation, an aspect of jazz
not usually dominant in classical
music. Violinists David
Balakrishnan and Darol Anger both

explore the loose bounds of jazz by
using the violin‘s ability to slur
notes and even squeak to produce
melodic and mood-filled lines.

()I the four jazz standards on
Side 1, none shows a greater combi-
nation of those talents then Dizzy
Gillespie‘s “A Night in Tunisia,"
which the group successfully moves
from a majestic, stirring feet into a
full-blown swing and solo section.
This works without the help of a per-
cussion section.

Side 2 pulls the group back toward
contempory classical music with a
composition of Balakrishnan‘s titled
“Balapadem” that sports all the
qualities and ideals of American
composer Aaron Copeland.

According to Webster's New Colle~

giate Dictionary metamora means

‘”c.hange But if the group Metamo

synonymous with its title, Metamora
should mean "same old thing."

The group is composed of Grey
Larsen, Malcolm Dalglish and Pete
Sutherland. While each is obviously
talented, together they don’t make
any profound statement.

The only thing that makes Meta-
mora at least vaguely recognizable
is the prominent hammer dulcimer
playing of Dalglish.

0n “Through the Woods" and
“The Lullaby of Muffe," Dalglish’s
playing is the only color that creates
any total definition to the melody.

Morning Walk is not a total loss,
however. The compositions and tex-

lures on “Lord of the Sky" and
‘Sunlight" make up for some of the
album‘s mediocrity.

Sutherland's compositional skills
on “Lord of the Sky," prove him a
definite talent. The song produces a
light soaring quality, sifting through
different heights of tension before li-
nally moving to a quiet settlement.

“Sunlight," which proves to be
one of the most imagistic composi—
tions on the album, shows off
Dalglish‘s talents. This arrangement
majestically rises from the east and
soothingly projects textural rays of

Father knew best for new UK gymnast

By TOM SPALDING
Staff Writer

When UK gymnast Aaron Aldrich
was 13, her father, Don, sat her
down in their New York home and
had a talk with her.

“He said I had to decide what I
wanted to do with my future," she
said. At that time Aaron was split-
ting her time between gymnastics
and figure skating.

“I knew that I was good,“ she
said. But her father told her if she’d
just pick one sport and concentrate
on it, she could be great.

“I told her it was a case where
she needed to specialize in one.“ he
said. “It was a situation where if
she could just pick one and be great
atit."

Aaron opted for gymnastics. But
since there was no gymnastics pro-
gram at her high school, she and her
dad had to train at a dusty old
YMCA gym.

They trained together for three
years, hoping one day she‘d be good
enough to get a major college schol-
arship.

“She had enough mental tough—
ness that she could’ve done great at
either sport." he said. “But I think
her choosing gymnastics was a good
decision."

He‘s not the only one who thought
that. A scout saw Aldrich in a meet
in New York and told UK coach
Leah Little about the gymnast.

“He told me he saw her and
thought a lot about her." Little said.

The only problem was, 200 other
schools thought a lot about her also.
In the end, though, she chose to be a
Wildcat.

“There weren‘t too many out
there that had what (UK) had to
offer,“ Aaron said. “At UK, I had a

feeling I’d be the happiest there."

And Aldrich has made many peo-
ple at UK happy. On Feb. 12 against
West Virginia this season, she broke
the UK mark for the all-around
when she recorded a 37.55.

That mark looks even more im-
pressive when you consider Aldrich
is a 17-yearold freshman.

“You never know if freshmen will

make a difference,“ Little said.
“They have a hard time getting into
the team atmosphere. But she's an
impact player. She‘s come in right
off the bat and done that.“

And thanks to that she's estab-
lished herself as one of the top three
gymnasts on the team. A mark that
has surprised even her father.

“I knew at UK she‘d have the op-
portunity to compete as a fresh
man," he said. “But I was quite sur-
prised. I thought she might get in
two or three meets the entire year.”

Aldrich has a rich background of
success, having come in first or sec-
ond at six different events the last
two years.

But breaking the UK all-around
mark (set by teammate Kendall
Lucas last year with a 37.4) was the
most prized record in her collection.

“Breaking the school record was
one of my goals when I came in as a
college gymnast." Aaron said. ”To
break the mark as a freshman was
really something special."

Aaron credited getting involved
with gymnastics to her parents, but
she said all it took to get really in-
terested was a gymnast named
Nadia Comanechi.

“I was 10 years old and like every-
body else, I grew up watching Nadia
on T.V.," she said. “It was at the
Olympics (held in Lake Placid. New
York in 1980‘, We‘d go to the New
York fair and they‘d have gymnasts
perform. I‘d always stay and
watch."

Aldrich teamed up with her fa-
ther/coach and trained at the Au-
burn YMCA.

“We didn't perform at a power-
house gym,“ said Don. “And in my
gym she had to do a lot of the push-
ing herself. "

The elder Aldrich said it was un-
usual because when he was training
Aaron. he, in effect. was training
himself.

“Actually we started gymnastics
together." he said “I didn't know
much about it. We both kind of
learned as we went along. Some
days in the gym she was a better
gymnast than I was a coach and
some days I was a better coach than

falls to 14—10 overall and 9—6 in the
SEC.

“I think we played the best in
the first half that we have all sea-
son," Sutton said "Defensively.
we controlled the tempo I
thought our press was very im-
portant in setting the pace for the
game."

That pace was fast.

UK took over after a layup by
Davender and a jumper by senior
forward Winston Bennett. who
led all scorers with 24 points.
gave UK its first lead.

 

OCats declaw Tigers

Then freshman guard Eric
Manuel. who had 12 of his 14
points in the first half, hit the
next six to give UK a 13—4 advan-
tage.

The last LSL' threat came with
11:41 remaining when the Tigers
ran off five straight to pull within
27~21 But Davender and Chap-
man connected on backato—back
three-pointers to push the lead
backup

A 154 run at the end of the he"

And L'K did

The (Tats continued to cook in
the second hall. with a 13—3 run to
push the lead to 61-33. the biggest
of the game

From there. the Cats coasted to
the win

 

 

Then came success, much to his
amazement.

“She won two national
championships." he said. “We never
expected it. It was beyond our wild~
est dreams."

But now that some dreams have
been realized. others still wait.
Little sees no reason why Aldrich
can’t continue her upward climb.

"There are things for her to do. She
has to get stronger and better. But
her head is on right ~ she'll do
those things because she‘s got a
chance to qualify for the national
championships as a freshman.”

Little. incidentally. has never sent
a player to the nationals.

Bet she‘s glad Don had that talk

Viewpoint

SGA should only
consider campaign
rules after elections

The Student Government Association Senate has consid-
ered three different pieces of legislation over the last
month pertaining to the spring elections.

How peculiar.

It seems that each year around election time, a piece of
legislation concerning the election seems to come before
the senate.

Last year, Jason Williams irresponsibly proposed the
idea of requiring students to only vote for straight tickets,
instead of individual candidates.

This year, an amendment that called for the abolish-
ment of the executive vice president was not proposed to
the senate until this semester, less than two months before
the election was set to get underway.

And last night, two more pieces of legislation regarding
campaign-spending laws were brought up by the senate.

There is little question that the current system in which
the student body chooses its leaders is in much need of re-
form. But proposing to change the system only weeks be-
fore the election is not the proper way to go about it.

Whether politically motivated or not, some members of
the senate are obviously going to raise concerns about the
political reasons of the bill or amendment.

We urge SGA to establish a task force with the sole pur-
pose of examining current election laws and regulations.
However, that action should be taken following this
spring‘s race.

Areas the commission should look into include cam-
paign spending limits, the number of senators elected to
the senate, the idea of candidates running on tickets, rath-
er than individually, and, of course, how to keep from los-
ing election records, which apparently is harder than it

sounds.

There are several advanatages in studying the elections

shortly after they are held.

First of all, everything is fresh in everyone’s mind. Peo-
ple have a better chance of remembering what exact prob-
lems they had with the current system.

In addition, the study would also be conducted at a time
when most SGA senators would not have their eyes more
on winning the presidency than on serving the students‘

best interests.
