Bill Clinton was elected the na-
tion's 42nd president yesterday in a
Democratic landslide that swept
George Bush from office and ended
12 years of divided government in
Washington.

The president-elect vowed to
confront problems “too long ing-
norcd," from the economy to AIDS
and the environment.

Clinton said his mandate was to
restore growth.

Bush wished the Arkansas gov-
emor well in the White House. “It‘s
over,” he whispered to his wife Bar-
bara.

Voters were renewing Democrat-
ic control of Congress and said
pocketbook concerns had mattered
most as they chose a new genera-
tion of leadership.

Clinton, who campaigned as a
“different kind of Democrat” and
pledged to rebuild the economy,
built his majority in all regions of
the country, clinching his victory in
California, Oregon and Washing-
ton.

He won customary Democratic
strongholds. captured key battle-
grounds in Illinois, Ohio and New
Jersey and put Vermont and Ken-

The 46-year-old governor will
become the nation's third-youngest

Albert Gore. Together. the two men
savored their triumph in Little
Rock, where thousands of support-
ers gathered to cheer their success
and plot the presidency to come.

Clinton during the campaign, con-

“I wish him well in the White
House. Regardless of our differenc-
es, all Americans share the same
purpose," he said.

The president spoke before sup-
porters with the first lady at his
side. He thanked Vice President
Dan Quayle and James A. Baker

decades of politics.

Wethington ‘optimistic’ about cuts

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

UK President Charles Wething-
ton is “optimistic" but “maintaining
a realistic posture" about the possi-
bility of further budget cuts at the
University.

In a memo sent to faculty and
staff dated last Wednesday, Weth-
ington said administrators are in the
process of developing a contingen-
cy plan to handle a possible cut, but
that they still working to prevent a
reduction.

Because of revenue shortfalls,
state officials told the eight state
universities on Oct. 21 to hold
down spending and develop a plan

by Friday to prepare for a 2 percent
budget cut.

The past two times the state faced
a revenue shortfall, budget reduc-
tions were forced upon the state‘s
universities — including more than
$26 million in reductions dealt to
UK.

To manage the previous cuts and
the possibility of another, adminis-
trators are in the midst of looking at
ways to restructure and realign Uni-
versity operations. Wethington said
in the memo that the restructuring
will be a two-step process.

First, he said, he and his staff are
reviewing the the UK stnicture to
identify areas that need to be reor-
ganized. The second stage involves

reviewing recommendations sent to
him regarding the effects of restruc-
turing particular areas.

Wethington also said he is con-
sidering hiring an external consul-
tant to look at ways UK can operate
more efficiently. He said the idea of
an external consultant was suggest-
ed in the University Self-Study and
by the visiting committee of the
Southern Association for Colleges
and Schools. which visited campus
in September to review UK’s bid
for reaccreditation.

Wethington also reaffirmed his
pledge to preserve quality in the
University despite the budget reduc-
tions.

Independent Ross Perot said “the
people have spoken," and offered
his congratulations.

With 52 percent of the precincts
reporting, it was Clinton with 44
percent of the vote, Bush with 39
percent and Perot 18 percent.

The Associated Press tally

toral votes and led for 57 more #7

By Walter R. Mears

WASHINGTON « Start to fin-
ish, it was a singleeissue presiden-
tial campaign, and the votes that
sent Bill Clinton into the White
House last night also carry instruc—
tions: Americans want action —
soon — to spark the sagging econo-
my.

The overwhelming concern about

jobs and the economic future was a

problem for President Bush from
his first day on the campaign trail.
It was the constant in Clinton's
campaign; even with detours and

, distractions, the Democrat always

came back to that central topic.

“It‘s the economy, stupid," read
the placard in the campaign confer-
ence room at Clinton headquarters
in Little Rock, Ark.

Bush and the Republicans tried to
change the subject, but the Demo
crats always changed it back.

An Election Day poll of people
who had just voted showed the
depth and the impact of those eco-
nomic concerns. Nearly 80 percent
said the economy was poor or not
good, and they voted overwhelm-
ingly for Clinton.

Jobs and the economy outranked
all other concems as the issues that

Many students choose lesser evil

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

 

Like many students who voted
for President-elect Bill Clinton in
yesterday‘s election, Charles Nor-
man chose the Arkansas govcmor
because he saw Clinton as the lesser
of three evils.

“I was not happy with any of the
other candidates," said Norman, an
undeclared junior. “I was not really
happy with him, either. I was really
hoping for a change."

Norman and the rest of the Amer-
ican people did get a change yester-
day as Clinton defeated incumbent
President Bush. Texas billionaire
and independent candidate Ross
Perot finished a distant third.

Although Norman said he was
not sure how well Clinton will do
as president, he said the Arkansas
Democrat offered the most hope of
breaking gridlock in Washington
and improving the nation‘s econo-
my.

“Hopefully, things will start hap-
pening and the economy will get
better," he said. “Hopefully, things
will change, people will start get»
ting jobs back again. and people
will stop losing jobs."

Jessie Tackett, a communication
sophomore, voted for Clinton be—
cause the Republicans' anti—
abortion platform makes her “skin
crawl." But she was quick to point
out that she‘s not a Clinton fan, ei-
ther.

“Actually, I have no earthly idea
how he will do (as president)," she
said. “ I voted for him because I
thought he's better titan Bush.“

Tracy Turner also voted for Clin-
ton because she said he was the best
candidate in a less—than-dcsirahle
field of choices.

“I liked his policies. He seemed
to be the best one considering who

we had to vote for,“ said Turner, 3
speech pathology sophomore.

Other students, however, were
less than thrilled at the prospect of a
Clinton presidency.

“I‘m afraid of Clinton," said Cary
Collins, a mechanical engineering
senior who voted for Bush. “The
checks and balances might be
thrown off by a Democratic presi-
dent and a Democratic Congress.“

Thomas Smither, a finance jun—
ior, said a Clinton presidency might
be disastrous for the nation.

“I don‘t think he'll do a very
good job at all," said Smither, who
also voted for Bush. “The things he
says he‘s going to do are just im-
possible with his plans."

Barrett Steele, a chemical engi-
neering freshman, said Clinton's
election will not bring any major
changes.

“I think, no matter who wins the

office. they‘re all faced with the
same problems," Steele said.

Stricter IFC alcohol policy
not successful, officials say

 

By Tyrone Season
News Editor

Efforts to regulate drinking at
greek social functions have not
been as successful as intended be-
cause of glitches in the lnterfrater-
nity Council’s revised Risk Man-
agement Policy, officials said last
week.

IFC, the governing body for the
UK fraternity system, adopted
measures in the spring to further
control the possession and con.
sumption of alcohol by individuals

I

who attend chapter parties.

According to the reused risk
management policy, “one or more
fraternity executive officers and a
security guard must be at each en-
trance at all times" at houses, which

host parties.

When a fraternity schedules a so-
cial function, it must register the
event with the lFC. which, in turn,
will place the chapter's event on a
security guard request list that is
sent to the UK Police Department.

Student tickets
still available for
Vanderbilt game

My Robin
Staff Writer

 

 

A "healthy amount” of student tickets still remain for Saturday’s final
home football game against Vanderbilt, said Rodney Stiles. director of
administrative services. The game is at 1 pm. the only scheduled day
game this season.

Stiles thinks the thrilling loss Saturday against Mississippi State. now
ranked l9th in the nation, should increase ticket distribution.

"It was an exciting game, with high-powered offenses. I hope this is
what the fans will come to see" Stiles said.

Dismbution has been slow for the Vanderth game, and Stiles thinks
the bad weather is part of the problem.

About 2,500 sideline tickets were returned from Vanderbilt, so many
good seats remain available.

Attendance to but weck’ s Homecoming game was listed at 50. 375.
by far the lowest number this year

Stiles thinks sales will pick up because this weekend 3 game is the
last one this year at Commonwealth Stadium, where UK is 3 2 this
year.

“This is our last home game, and the last one for seniors. Plus, we are
still in the hunt for a winning season" Stiles said.

The vast improvements that UK has made this season also should
help.

"We were 3- 8 last year, and this year we have a chance to double our
output l think people will want to come out and support the team,”
Stiles said.

Students must bring a validated TD and signed activity card toreoeive
a ticket. Students may receive an additional ticket if they bring another
student‘s 1D and activity card.

Guest tickets are also available at a cost of $14 for end zone seats and
$18 for stadium seating.

Arkansas

The setting for this year's South-
eastern Conference Cross Country
Championships — the Kentucky
Horse Park — was ideal for the
thoroughbreds wearing red and
white Arkansas uniforms Monday
morning.

The hilly, grassy course on
which the sinewy-legged runners
dashed was washed with just the
right amount of rain, making for a
soft. muddy track.

Arkansas had its share of “mud-
tiers."

“1 used it to my advantage," said
sophomore runner Deena Drossin,
who successfully defended her in-
dividual championship in the
5,000 meters (3.1 miles). “I like
running in weather like this. It felt
really good out there to get mud-
dy."

The nice. tranquil sonance of the
pounding of horses‘ hooves was
replaced on this day by fluorescent
green running shoes, worn by
these fillies and stallions of Arkan-

cross country last year, said he
wasn‘t the least bit surprised by his
first-place finish.

Neither were his coaches.

“Everybody was talking about
Arkansas and everything, but we
felt like when it was all over that
Pablo Sierra would be No. 1," Ole
Miss coach Joe Walker said. “And
he was today. He did a superjob."

“I knew I was going to win,’
Sierra said. “I ran really smart, ex-
actly the kind of race I wanted to
run. About halfway through, I just
made my move and went to the
leaders."

One of those leaders was UK
sophomore Vadim Nemad, who
finished eighth overall to help the
Wildcats to their second third-place
finish in a row.

“1t was a fast pace, but 1 still felt
comfortable." Nemad said.

UK coach Don Weber had mixed
feelings about the men‘s perfor-
mance.

“Vadim, George (Yiannelis), and
Kevin (Hcdenberg) ran real well,"
he said. “1 was very pleased with
their race.

“But it was a disappointment. We
had hoped to beat Tennessee. We
missed out beating them the last
two years when we could‘vc and
should'vc."

UK‘s women finished 10th of 12
teams. Senior Khalilah Muhammad
led the squad with a time of 20:16,
good for 39th on the day.

The freshman foursome of Chris-
ta Prusinowski, Elisa Currins, Anita
Manning and Leslye Swigcrt
rounded out the Lady Kats' scor-
ing.

“We have a group of freshman
who, in time, could develop into
SEC-caliber runners,” Weber said.

“But, right now, I think they’re
really overwhelmed with every-
thing."

finished first or better in the SWC
five times, fourth being the lowest.

Since entering the SEC last year,
the Razorbacks have picked up
where they left off, dominating
their opponents on both the men's
and women’s sides. In its first year
as a member of the SEC. Arkansas
won both cross country titles.

Why the dominance?

Why the dynasty?

What makes them so darned ter-
rific. anyway?

Is it better coaches?

“I don‘t think we could ask for
better coaches," Drossin said.
“The University was lucky to get
stuck with an awesome coach for
the men‘s and women’s teams."

“I think we have a system that
works, year in and year out," said
men’s head coach John McDon-
nell.

Is it better athletes?

“One of the things about our
team that's very interesting is that
Deena doesn't lead the workouts."
said women‘s head coach Lance
Harter. In some of the repetitions
that we did Thursday, she was last.
So, 1 think a lot of times, her learn-
mates prep her for the races."

“This is 19 straight conference
titles for us, so we‘ve been good
for a long time," McDonnell said.
“We have tradition now, and we
attract good people."

Is it better spirit?

“I think team spirit definitely
pulls both programs together,"
Drossin said. “While the guys were
warming up for their races, they
were over on the sidelines cheering
us on. so it helped a lot."

“There's a real family feeling
here,” Halter said. “Probably one
of the most flattering remarks 1
ever had as a coach was last year at
the SEC Championships. The men
won, and then ‘Boom' — they
were out on the field before 1 could
get there. They were cheering the
(women's) team on as they went
through the paces for their race."

“We just want to win," sopho-
more Michael Morin said. “There's
a lot of pride — a lot of pride ‘— in
the program. That’s what makes it
so."

Is it better teamwork?

“There‘s a lot of communication
going on between us out there
whenever we're racing —— like
cheering each other on and calling
each other’s names to stick on your
shoulder," Drossin said. “It just
really helps. It lets you know that
your team cares and is depending
on you to get to the finish line."

So, what's the answer?

Alcohol

Continued from Page 1

The UK Police then notify the
contracted guard service, which
currently is Andy Frain Services of
Lexington.

Security guards are to serve as
backups for officers in case of dis-
turbances. They also may help
screen individuals on party guest
lists to ensure no one younger than
21 is in possession of alcoholic bev-
erages.

Once underage persons enter the
premises, however, there is no one
in charge of making sure they do
not consume alcohol, said lFC Pres-
ident Jeremy Bates.

University policy and state stat-
utes forbid the consumption of alco-
hol by minors.

“That's a harder problem to regu-
late — people over 21 providing at-
cohol to underage drinkers," Bates
said in an interview Thursday. “As-
suming that the rules are followed
like they should be, there shouldn‘t
be a problem. But I'm not going to
sit here and lie to you and say that
there is no problem.

“Right now, we're looking into
having a task force with Panhellen-
ic (Council) to bring our risk man-
agement policies together and try to
provide for better and safer social
functions."

Another problem with the policy,
Bates said, is some functions had
no security guard, even though the
request list containing all the regis~
tered parties for a particular week
was delivered to the UK Police De-
partment

“We‘ve made a lot of strides try—
ing to provide the least liable at-
mosphere at our social functions,
and there‘s still improvements that
we need to make," Bates said.

“Here we made a pretty signifi-
cant change in requiring security
guards to be at these socials func-
tions, and it‘s really frustrating
when I had three or four weekends
where they don’t show up -— not
because it‘s our fault, but somebody
else's fault.“

Bates said lFC is considering
having direct contact with the se-
curity guard firm instead of using
the UK Police Department as a go-
between. He said the problem is a
result of a “breakdown in communi-
cation."

Bryan Morrison. a political sci-
ence junior, is the lFC member re-
sponsible for delivering the lists
each week. He said the deadline for
fratemities to register social func-
tions is 4 pm. on the Tuesday be-
fore the event.

His deadline for turning in securi-
ty guard request lists is no later than
Wednesday night — because the
police deparurient needs 48 hours to
confimt guards for weekend events.

Momson said he is aware that
some functions did not have securi-
ty guards present.

“Maybe, perhaps, some days I
turn the list in too late, but it‘s a
new system and it's going to have a
few kinks," he said. “Everything
that's new is going to Like some
time to work out."

The risk management
went into effect in August.

UK Police Chief W.ll. {\lcComas
said he is not aware that sonic fra-
temity functions went on Without

policy

“I am not aware of any situauon
where a commiunent or request was
made by [PC and there wasn‘t (a
guard)," McConias said. However.
“as a matter of routine, if there‘s a
fraternity party, we do stop by."

Numerous attempts were rttade to
contact Andy Frain Services. but
the company could not be reached
for comment.

Although security guards are a
deterrent to disruptions at fraternity
parties, the responsibility for con-
trolling those parties lies with the
fratemities themselves, said Ron
Lee, assistant dean of students for
fratemity affairs.

“Just by having a security guard
at the door does not necessarily
mean that everyone in there is go-
ing to be toeing the line," he said.
“The burden is with the chapter.

“The bottom line is fratemities
have to take control of the social

functions they have in their house.
If they don't take control, then, cer-
tainly, the University is going to
come in and make Sure that laws
are followed."

ln that case, should the Universi-
ty already have direct influence
over fraternity events"?

“I think it’d be more important
that fraternities limit the number of
parties they have in their house,
limit the number of people they
have at these parties. issue more
control or have parties maybe with
out alcohol," Lee said.

He estimated that 90 percent of
disturbances at fratemity parties are
alcohol-related, and he said it
would be very easy for people older
than 21 to distribute alcohol to mi-

nors after entering a fratemity
house.
Three fratemities have been

placed on probation by the Univer-
sity for alcohol-related offenses this
semester. Victor Ila/ard. assistant
dean of students, said actions
against fraternities are up from pre-
vious semesters.

“We've had a lot of activity.
We‘ve had more fraternity action
this semester than in times past. for
what reason I don't know," he said.
“There's been instances where stti~
dents have been cited for ‘minor iti
possession of alcohol.‘ "

There also have been repons of
lights at parties, as well as streaking
(ninnmg nude in public), by frater-
nity members, lla/ard said.

“When iridtv idtials hay c been
drinking, all types of problems typi-
cally ensue," he said. “Any time
you have gentlemen together in any
significant numbers, the advent
of alcohol always causes gentlemen
for some reason to want to be a bit
0an. to act a little more foolish,
and they do ignorant and irresponsi-
blc things.

“The security guard. it‘s not his
responsibility to control the party."
Hazard said. “It is my contention
that the sponsoring organi/ation, er»
thcr a fraternity or a soronty,
should have a guest list. They
should control who's getting in. be
they drinking age or not."

people," Wilson said.

“One of the things I want them to
see is we're not just quaint people
pickin’ and grinnin‘. We have quite
accomplished artists.

“We'd like to cotnbat those stere-
otypes, and the conference is one
way to do this. Plus, it's really fun."
she said.

Throughout the conference, art-
ists, writers, musicians and other
experts on Appalachian culture will
hold exhibitions and seminars anti
will perform for the public.

On Thursday at 7:30 pm, the
Harlan Boys Choir wrll perform at
the Otis A. Singletary Center for
the Arts Recital Hall. Following the

entation by storyteller Adrcena
Belchcr. a program by author James
Still and musician Randy Wilson.
