Clinton's veto
hangs over budget bill

\VASHINGT( )N — Defying a veto threat,
the Republican-ctmtrolled Congress passed legis-
lation last night to end the three-day partial shut-
down of government, but only if President Clin-
ton agrees to balance the budget in seven years.

Clinton said the GOP proposal would lock in ,
“crippling cuts in Medicare" and other programs
and demanded that lawmakers act immediately to
restore government services without precondi—
tions.

He also announced plans to recall thousands of
furloughed workers to process claims for Social
Security and other benefits.

Sororities ready

"11‘ ”00k

By Jennifer Fleming
Sniff Hr 'riier

The time for giving has arrived.
\Vith Thanksgiving and Christ—
mas just around the corner, the
spirit of giving is warming up the
holiday season.

For the past three years UK's
Panhellenic organization has been
involved in the Lexington-Herald
Leader’s community service pro-
ject “Storybook Christmas.”

This event involves organiza—
tions around the state to gather
children’s books that later will be
distributed to underprivileged
children around the state.

Panhellenic, along with sorori-
ties on campus, began gathering
books three weeks ago.

Panhellenic was able to tie in
Faculty Appreciation Week to the
storybook collection event. All
sorority women who donated
books were asked to donate the
book in a faculty member’s name.

Although donations have ended
at UK, the charity event is still
continuing on campus. A book—
estimating contest is being held at
the UK Bookstore.

The person who gives the dos-
est estimate of the number of
books will be awarded with a $300
gift certificate to the UK Book-
store.

All estimations are $1 and can
be made today and Monday from
11 a.m. to 3 pm. and on next
Tuesday from 10 a.m. to noon.

The money received from the
estimations will go to one of two
faculty organizations on campus.
These two organizations answered
the request to all faculty organiza-
tions from the Panhellenic to sub-
mit an essay regarding “important
women‘s issues.”

project

The Department of Education-
al and Counseling Psychology and
the UK VVomen’s Studies Pro-
gram were the two departments
that are in the running for the
proceeds.

According to Susan West,
assistant dean of students, in the
past years when UK has been
involved with the Storybook
Christmas the number of dona-
tions do not compare to the num-
ber of books received from the
greeks this year.

“It’s been unbelievable this
year,” West said.

“The participation by the
sorority women has been tremen-
dous.”

When the number of books
donated were tallied, Alpha Omi-
cron Pi social sorority had donat—
ed 601 books, the most of any
social sorority.

For winning, the sorority will
receive a 10 percent discount on
the use of the Boone Faculty
Club.

Freshman elementary educa-
tion major Sara Long, who is a
member of AOPi said, “I’m really
excited that we won, but that’s not
why we all participated. We did
this to help out the needy children
so they could have a merry Christ-
mas.”

The individual winner who
brought in the most storybooks,
65, was freshman political science
major Lara Baker of Alpha Xi
Delta social sorority.

“I think literacy is a very
important thing,” she said. “My
mom is a teacher and I hear her
talk about her second-grade stu—
dents that come in class and do
not know how to read. It makes
me feel great to know that I could
help.”

“Shut the door," said Lexington
Herald-Leader cartoonist Joel Pett as
he assumed the stage and prepared to

  

begin. “This is capacity.”

Pett, who described himself as a
“smart—ass with a public pulpit for his
stupid opinions,” regaled the three
dozen audience members and couple
hundred empty seats in the

Center Theater with his musings and
caricatures last ni ht. At times, he
seemed more standz—up than political
cartoonist.

An 11-year veteran of the Herald—
Leader (or, as he said, “too long"),
Pett had been invited to come by the
Student Government Association as
part of the Community Initiatives for
a Sustainable Kentucky Speaker
Series.

“I’m not an expert on anything,”
Pett said. “I respect other peo Ies'
(opinions) I don’t necessarily t ink
mine are always 100 percent right.”

He started his presentation, natu—
rally, at the sketchboard, drawing such
notable public figures as Newt Gin-
grich and Clarence Thomas, along
with our five most recent presidents.

As he scribbled his scary, no-neck
linebacker version of Richard Nixon,
he mused about how paradoxical it
was that it was during Nixon's admin-
istration that the Environmental Pro—
tection Agency was raised to cabinet—
level authority, and yet now it was the
Republicans who were trying to take
away some of the EPA's power.

As Jimm Carter's megawatt smile
gradually ormed on the sheet of
paper,Pett said Carter’s busy schedule
is characteristic of a president who

didn’t do a very good job.

“George Bush — nice enough guy,"
he said. “Always got the impression
that he wanted to be president so he
could put it on his resume."

Pett's vocal impression of George
Bush, by the way, is as on—target, too.

Pett then put down his marker and
cranked up the slide projector for a run
through some of his favorite cartoons.

One, satirizing attempts to sell
ci . rettes to children, depicted a group
ofgtiiarketing executives contemplating
the idea of using “Smokahontas.”

He said that he writes people who
say that they’ve cancelled their sub-
scriptions to the Herald-Leader
because they didn‘t like one of his car-
toons and be rs them to reconsider.

He woul n’t want them to give up
the paper on his account, he said.

One audience member asked him if
he would prefer to be somewhere a lit-
tle more tolerant than Lexington.

No way, Pett said. “It's much more
fun where you're pissing peo Ie off.”

“I thought it was great t at some-
one with a political opinion can express
it in a dynamic manner," said eco-
nomics junior Kevin Kidd. “He‘s not
afraid we need more people who are
unafraid to express their opinions
wholeheartedly.”

Clinton had snubbed him recently aboard Air
Force One, and for saying he had toughened his
terms on the budget battle as a result.

At three days, the partial shutdown was the
longest ever arising from one of the nation's peri—
odic budget wars. And barring an unexpected con—
cession, it seemed likely to stretch into Thanks-
giving week.

cunm‘ess can: Direct [03" program

\VASHINGTON —— Republicans in Congress
agreed yesterday to limit the government's direct
lending program for college students, a move
Democrats contend will enrich bankers at the
expense of 1.9 million students.

The agreement, which is part ofthe GOP bill
that would balance the budget by 2002, would
save $1.6 billion over seven years by limiting the
program to 10 percent of all student loans.

Grants help
MBA program

By Gary Wult
.s‘mfl‘u'rmr

A new scholarship that is offered through the
College of Business and Economics is causing
strange things to happen.

As an example, a Harvard University graduate
with a bachelor’s degree in government trans—
ferred to the MBA program at UK when offered a
scholarship.

The Kentucky Scholars Program was initiated
this year by Richard Furst, dean of the UK Col—
lege of Business and Economics.

It is open to all Kentuckians who scored ()00 or
higher on the Graduate Management Admission
Test (GMAT).

The avera e test score of those who entered
the rogram t is year ranks in the 90th percentile
on t e GIVIAT.

“These are really, really bright young people,"
said Michael Tearney, associate dean of adminis-
tration in the college.

Each student who is awarded the scholarship
receives full tuition. The full-tuition scholarships
cover all three semesters of work toward the MBA
or another advanced business degree.

In the initial year ofthe program. 1‘? students
have accepted and are enrolled in the program.

\Vhen compared to last year where only three
or four students from Kentucky enrolled in the
Masters program, the results are amazing.

“This is 15 more of these excellent scholars
than we would have," Furst said.

There are no limits on the amount of those
who enroll. This year they only expected about 10
people to enroll, but ended up with 1‘).

“\Ve are going to continue to fund as many
people as we can,‘ Tearney said.

The )rogram is totally supported by private
dollars t rough the college’s Business Partnership
Foundation, which include major businesses and
alumni from around the Commonwealth.

“\Ve're hoping that the businesses of Kentucky
will hire the students when they rraduate and
hopefully keep them here forever, urst said.

In recent years, Tearney believes that Ken-
tucky has been losing many of the scholars to
schools out of state.

“We think that Kentucky’s been exporting the
‘brains’ and through this program we're tryin to
keep the ‘brains.’ If we can attract (students to
our MBA program then most of the recruiters will
be from the region, thus boosting Kentucky‘s
economy,” Tearncy said. “If we can expand it to
all parts of the country we can begin to import the

‘brains' instead ofex rtin them.”

to the Memorial Coliseum court
for the first time last night as the
Cats defeated Hungary (Soproni)
84-69 in frontof413 curious fans.

“I'm pleased," Locke—Mattox
said. “You're talking (two seniors)
and the rest freshmen and inexperi—
ence. So right now I can't say I'm
disappointed with the players."

The oung Cats had to battle a

“\Vith this being an exhibition,"

honors with 23 points.

And freshman Tiffany Wait,
who was impressive in her first
appearance in a UK uniform,
scored 1‘) points before fouling out
with 4:36 left in the game.

“\Ve played well," Wait said.
“\V e still have some things to work
on and we’ll do that in practice.”

Sophomore Shaunda Roberts
showed the willingness to shoot the
ball, scoring 14 points on a 5~fors
1‘) shooting performance.

“I had a lot of shots," Roberts
said. “I took them. They just
weren’t falling. Easy layups, easy
shots I kind of rushed them.”

The team did struggle at times
with ball control, committing 24
turnovers for the game.

“(24 turnovers) is way too many
to have,” Locke—Mattox said.

Locke-Mattox was somewhat
pleased with her team’s rebound-
ing. The Cats out rebounded
Soproni 49—42, with a 19-12 advan-
tage on the offensive boards.

“Offensive rebounds I thought
we did really well," Locke-Mattox
said. “Kim Denkins did an out—

her team to work on if they want to
have a successful season.

But the UK coach said the two

Wildcats will try to revive

100-(). That's the combined score of the last two games
between'the UK and Tennessee football teams. just in case you

didn’t know, Tennessee has the 100.

Obviously this lopsided figure shows the disparity between
the two programs, but perhaps it also signifies the decline ofa

once-great football rivalry.
The Cats haven't beaten

 

Tennessee since 1984, and
in recent years UK has
looked drunk in the annual
battle for the Beer Barrel.

“1 think rivalries dimin-
ish unless the teams are
competitive," said UK
coach Bill Curry, whose
squad will finish up its sea—

tomorrow in Common—

“In order for us to main-

e hands of Florida in the season’s third week.

While the Volunteers are looking at postseason play, the
Wildcats (4-6, 2—5) are looking to pull the major upset and finish
the season on a high note. UK's record once stood at 3-3, but a
three—game losing streak in the latter part of year dimmed the
squad’s hopes ofplaying in December.

Still, 5-6 wouldn’t be bad, considering that a year ago Curry’s
troops had a mere one victory to their credit.

But to u set Tennessee, the Cats will need more than a little
