Cabinet nominee repeats vow to end drinking

Hy BRYAN BRUMIEY
Associated Press

WASHINGTON ~ John Tower reiterated
his pledge yesterday to stop drinking if
confirmed as secretary of defense, but said
he saw no reason to do so otherwise and
accused his detrac-
tors of “hypocrisy."

Tower also drew a
distinction between
the past “excessive"
drinking he has ad-
mitted to and an alco-
hol “abuse problem
that would disqualify
him for sensitive mili~
tar )sitions. .

Abi pany rate, Tower TOWER
maintained that such judgments are made
by a military person's commanding officer
and that, in his case, President Bush is his
commanding officer.

Appearing on the (.‘BS-TV interview pro-
gram ”Face the Nation," Tower also re.
stated his determination not to ask that his
nomination be withdrawn argutiig that
Bush did not want him to and that the con
troversy over his selection has escalated
beyond consideration of' his own personal
qualifications

n

“I still have sip of wine now and again,“
Tower responded when asked whether lie
had stopped drinking since pledging a
week ago to do so if confirmed

“thice confirmed. I will give it up alto
gether "

John G. Tower’s troubled personal
life should be comidered as an indica~
tion of his ability to work as the U.S. de-
fense secretary, according to serveral
UK students contacted by the Kernel
last night.

Not only do personal problems show a
sometimes poor lack of judgement, but
someone in the public's eye neerk to
project an image of trustworthiness,
students said.

“It shows he has the tendency to not
always make the right decision,” sopho-
more Jennifer Schmid said of Tower‘s
personal problems. “He’s in office to
make decisions for us."

Tower has been criticized by some for
his ties to the defense industry and

 

Tower’s personal problems an issue, students say

work he did for defense firms as a con-
sultant.

But Tower‘s personal life, which has
caused most senators to think twice
about voting for him, is the main objec-
tion most students have to Tower being
appointed to run the pentagon.

During Tower‘s hearing before the
Senate Foreign Armed Services Com—
mittee, his personal lifestyle was scruti-
nized, by both the media and the FBI.
Several reports alleged that Tower may
have a drinking problem and that he
had several affairs with women while
hewas married.

It was these reports of an alleged
drinking problem that caused Sen. Sam
Nunn, D~Ga. who is the committee‘s
chairman. to vote against Tower's con~
firmation. Nunn cited a “a number of
examples of personal misconduct which

the committee found indiscreet." Tower
was rejected by the Senate Foreign
Armed Services Committee, 11-9.

But recently, Nunn was the center of
a editorial in the Wall Street Journal
which reprinted a story run by the At-
lanta Journal that detailed a 1964 hit-
and~run accident involving Nunn. Nunn
was intoxicated at the time of the
wreck, according to the article.

“You don't want somebody like that
representing you," said John Thomas, a
UK freshman. Thomas said that if
Tower has a negative image because of
his personal life, that makes the Ameri-
can people look bad.

()ther students. however, said Tow-
er's personal life should only be consid-
ered if it has a direct impact on his job.

 

 

iiiediately as “an act of good faith," Tower
responded:

“Well, why should l‘.’ Why should l‘.’

It is so little that it doesn't really matter.
(inc reason I can give it up, and give it up
easily. is because it doesn‘t really matter
that much.“

A few minutes earlier. Tower had been
asked about arguments by Senate Armed
Services ('ommittee (Thairman Sam Nunn
and others that he would fail to qualify for

a sensitive military position because of a
history of alcohol abuse.

“Does this not disqualify you‘.'” he was
asked

“.\o I would be disqualified if you
could proye alcohol dependency or chronic
alcoholism In the final analysis. it is
a decision to be made by the commanding
officer that should be based on hard on
dence.

"The fact t\ l tilll not .ilt'flllttltlt‘pt‘ll

otherwise "

Coach awaits
pool facility’s
dedication

By TU.“ SPAIJHNU

Sports Editor

Chris BudVitis would hayi- liked to
swim at least one lap in l?K‘s new swim
facility before he ran out of eligibility
this spring. (liven the circumstances. it
would have oiily seemed fair.

But Budvitis, like most of the depart-
ing seniors on the UK swim team. never
got to ~ even though he was promised
in his senior year of high school that by
the time he was in his second year at
UK, he'd be able to practice and com-
pete along with the rest of the Katf'ish
in the new facility.

The anticipation, then, heading into
today‘s opening of l'K's new $5.3 mil-
lion llarry ('. Lancaster (‘enter, has
been tainted soriiewhaf

Numerous delays. including a fire last
summer that set back construction for
almost five months. have caused the
Lancaster (‘enter to open this year in,
stead of early 1988. as was originally
planned.

The wealth of' innovations and the ad-
vancements have almost been forgotten
by the mere fact that it has taken so
long. But it has been worth the wait

”It doesn‘t bother me anymore.” said
lTK swim coach Wynn Paul. “There are
always going to be delays in a big, huge
project like this. It‘s one of the biggest
projects on campus in the last couple of
years."

That's small consolation for swim
iiiers like Budvitis. He was promised a
new pool in which to swim and didn‘t
get it.

“For some of the guys, some of the
seniors,“ graduate assistant coach Pete
Knox said last month. “it's become like
a joke."

“It was a recruiting tool." liiidvitis

Legislators

Associated Press

FRANKFURT. Ky. A newspaper sur»
vey of Kentucky legislators has found a
base of support for a tax increase to bene-
fit Kentucky‘s public schools, provided any
such move is backed by (lov. Wallace Wil-
kinson.

The findings, published in yesterday's
editions of The Courier-Journal, are cont-
rary to Wilkinson's statement late last
month that legislators would not vote for a
substantial tax increase.

Several legislators said Wilkinson should
not expect the lawmakers to stand up and

take the lead on a tax issue that would fail
without his backing.

“The worst commitment that any It‘fllr
slator can make is to agree to a tax iii-
crcase that doesn't occur." said Sen. Ed
Ford. l).(‘ynthiana.

The survey, conducted by the newspaper
last week. found that 29 senators and tit)
House members said the schools need
more money. Twenty-five senators and 57
representatives said they could back a pro-
gram of taxes and school improvements
with the governor's support, although
some of them withheld final judgment until
they saw details of such a package.

(lnly a handful of members said flatly
that they would not support higher taxes to
meet those needs

The (‘ourier Journal stiru-y reached all
36 senators and all but one of the too House
members.

Fifteen senators aiiil 4.3 representatives
said Wilkinson's continued opposition to a
tax increase makes it tough to support one

“It‘s very hard for any legislator to go
home to his people and say. "We need it.’
when you've got the governor saying, ‘No,
we don‘t.‘ because the governor has much
more access through the media and his
word carries much more weight than the

word of any indiyidiiaf legislator.“ said

“Dream A Little Dream" with screen veteran
Jason Robards.

Interesting plot quickly fizzles in ‘Dream’

BY ELIZABETH HAMMOND
Contributing Critic

“Dream A Little Dream“ was an
amusing and delightful movie with
an eccentric, although sometimes
overdone plot, for the first 30 min-
utes. Then. with more plot twists
than necessary. the story took a
quick and continuous plunge down—
ward.

Similar to “Freaky Friday" and
then more recently with “Big.“
this is a movie of someone dissatis-
fied with his age. Then through ei-
ther witchcraft or as in this flick.
meditational means, they switch to
a more desirable time.

Zany in its premise. this movie
starts inventively. giving the view-
ers a false sense of what is to
come. Director Marc Rocco puts
warm and uplifting messages in
the film that seem genuinely real
Unfortunately. the humor and orig
inality of the movie quickly dissi—
pate within the intricacy of the plot
and the rehashed subject matter.

 

With screen veterans Jason
Robards and Piper Laurie starring
as the disenchanted couple search-
ing for lost youth. one would think
that this movie had great potential.
And it does. But no amount of act-
ing talent could save the poor di-
rection that was prominent
throughout the last half of this
movie,

ltobards' character, Coleman,
desires to return his wife, whom he
is still totally enamored with. and
himself to their youth. Coleman's
enigmatic personality is revealed
when he attempts to "will" himself
through a dreamlike state to a
younger plateau.

As the couple begin to transcend
into their desired youthful status.

an unfortunate turn of events takes
place. Enter Cory Feldman and
Meredith Salenger. These two teen-
agers accidentally bump into one
another and evade the privacy of

trance.
The plot grows too involving.

Characters with no apparent pur-
pose and direction are introduced,
and many questions remain un-
answered until the final five min
utes when they are all wrapped up
too predictably.

This could haw been a lover ro-

Nolte’s talent wasted in ‘Farewell to King’

By TIM FOGLE
Staff Critic

“Farewell to the King" is one of
those kind of movies that likes to
substitute long shots of beautiful
landscapes for plot and pointless
violence for substance and logic.

If you‘re able to swallow all that
you might like it. You‘ll also have
to believe a straightcut stupid
premise that seems more fitting
for an episode of "Gumby" than a
high-priced Hollywood feature. But
maybe I’m overcritical.

Nick Nolte plays Learoyd. a US.
soldier who gives up on WWII at
just about the same time it forgot
about him. After being washed up
on the beach of Borneo, he desper-
ately runs into the jungle and near-
ly dies before he's captured by
some of the island‘s inhabitants.

They want to cut his head off and
sell it to the Japanese. but the
women fall in love with him and
his azure eyes m which remind
them of the sea. their source of salt

and life. Learoyd has a giant tattoo
of a dragon on his chest and the na-
tives see it as sign of strength.

After learning their language and
taking a wife, he gives a speech
that unites all the warring tribes of
the island. He teaches them songs
and about freedom, and they make
him king.

Hey, I know it's corny.
lieved it up to this point

But the war is still waging iii the
outside world. And both the .\lll(‘.\
and the Japanese have their eyes
set on making a stronghold of “(If

natives for a Japanese irnasioii
But Learoyd doesn‘t want it Ile
wants to preserve the utopia that
he has created and wants no part
of war.

But when he realizes that the
war isn‘t going away. and that it‘s
coming to him whether he wants it
or not, he straps on a machine gun
and becomes a tropical Rambo

And that was where the name lost
it in my opinion.
Nolte has that wild look in his
eyes that comes from too much sun
