House fails to override Bush’s veto on abortion

By WILLIAM M. WELGI
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President
Bush‘s veto of a bill to previde
abortion assistance to impoverished
victims of rape and incest was sus-
tained in the House yesterday as a
231-191 vote to override him fell
51 votes short of the necessary
two-thirds margin.

Though narrow in scope, the bill
carried symbolic imponance in the
widening political struggle over the
abortion issue, and proponents took
their loss with a vow to keep the
president's feet to the fire. But Rep.
Chris Smith, R-N.J., called it “a
decisive victory for the pro-life
movement."

“The president won a legislative
victory today with use of a legisla-
tive minority,” said Rep. Les Au-
Coin, D-Ore. “He will put his par-
ty at tremendous risk in the next
election, and some of his allies on
the House floor will not be re-
turned.”

Rep. Bill Green, R-N.Y., who
supported the bill, said, “President

WASHINGTON —— U.S.-Soviet
experts said they saw stunning im-
plications in Soviet Foreign Mini-
ster Eduard Shevardnadze’s speech
this week condemning his coun-
try’s 1979 invasion of Afghani-
stan.

And some observers say that they
believe that Shevardnadze and Sec-
retary of State James Baker may be
piecing together a new superpower
order for world stability in the
19905.

In a remarkable choice of words,
Shevardnadze admitted this week
that the Soviets‘ 1979 invasion dis-
regarded “the values common to all
mankind.”

Shevardnadze also admitted that
the huge Krasnoyarsk radar, built in
1983 in Siberia, was a blatant vio-
lation of the Anti-Ballistic Missile
Treaty.

Shevardnadze said the radar
“openly violated the the ABM
treaty."

Most experts said the statements
indicate the Soviets are making ma-
jor movements.

“It (the speech) establishes a new
image for the Soviet Union as one
nation among many, where they no
longer use military intervention as
a legitimate arm of foreign policy,”

said Roger Anderson, chairman of
UK’s Russian and Eastern Studies
Department

Anderson also said that he be-
lieves the speech was an effort by
the Soviets to redefine the role of a
superpower.

“This is a signal that we do not
have to operate as superpowers by
occupying others’ territory and tell-
ing people what to do," he said.

Daniel Nelson, a professor in
UK's political science department,
said that Shevardnadze’s speech
was more than just important

“It is a historic speech, that She-
vardnadze would admit the Seviet
Union erred in both Afganistan and
Krasnoyarsk,” he said.

Goldman said the admission of
ABM violations illustrated Soviet
seriousness about further strategic
arms limitations talks.

“It was such a bold statement.

See SOVIETS, Page 2

Bush may well have stumbled on
the one issue that could cost him
re-election.”

The vote, in which 42 Republi-
cans joined 189 Democrats in the
unsuccessful bid to enact the bill
over the president's veto, left intact
an 8-year-old ban of federal fmanc-
ing of abortions for poor women.
except when their lives are threa-
tened.

“We’re pleased,” said White
House spokesman Marlin Fitzwa-
ter. “It shows strong support for
the president’s position.”

The disputed provision would
have permitted Medicaid abortions
for women who are victims of rape
or incest, and who “reported
promptly” to authorities. It was
part of a spending bill that now
goes back to the House Appropria-
tions Committee for revision.

Smith and other abortion oppo-
nents said the vote demonstrated
they can overcome future efforts to
weaken the prohibition on most
Medicaid abortions, adding that it
shows the political ground has not
shifted in favor of abortion rights,

as some political strategists argue.

“They made the mistake of think-
ing this was a one-round fight,"
said Rep. Vin Weber, R-Minn.

“Some members who were pa-
nicked by pro-abortion propaganda
in the last few weeks are going to
be surprised, because the final tale
hasn’t been told on how this issue
is cutting across the countryside,”
Weber said. “We’re now beginning
to see some victories on our side of
the issue.”

The House vote came two weeks
after abortion—rights lawmakers sur-
prised even themselves by winning
on a 216-206 vote that added the
amendment expanding Medicaid
abortions to the appropriations bill
for labor, health and education pro-
grams. It was the first time in near-
ly a decade of trying that the more
liberal language had passed the
House, although it has easily
cleared the Senate.

Abortion-rights supporters picked
up a net 15 votes on the override
vote. But some of those who

HARRISBURG, Pa. - A
powerful combination of cultural
forces, religion and legislative
procedure has shaped Pennsylva-
nia‘s legislature into what proba—
bly is the strongest anti-abortion
state assembly in the nation.

“The demographic mix in
Pennsylvania is such that it pro-
duces two sets of cultural conser-
vatives,” said G. Terry Madonna,
director of the Center for Politics
and Public Affairs at Millersville
University in Millersville, Pa.

One group of the coalition
comes from heavily Roman
Catholic and largely blue-collar
mill towns throughout western
Pennsylvania and the other is in
the rural “Bible Belt” of the

northern regions of the state, Ma-
donna said.

While “it’s somewhat unusual”
for representatives of the two

—

constituencies to vote alike, on
abortion “there’s a real meeting
of the minds and the heart and
soul," Madonna said.

Lawyer Kathryn Kolbert, a
lobbyist with the American Civil
Liberties Union, said that in
Pennsylvania “there’s a high re-
gard for the institutional power
of the Catholic Church.”

Anti-abortion forces also have
an effective, dynamic leader in
Republican Rep. Stephen Freind
of Delaware County, who “has
become a genume celebrity," said
Michael Young, a political

 

science professor at Pennsylvania
State University's Harrisburg
campus.

Kolbert said the legislature's
less formal committee structure
allows more anti—abortion meas-
ures to be debated on the floor.

“In Pennsylvania, every time
an abortion bill goes through
committee, it is defeated," Kol-
bcn said.

But unlike other states Penn-
sylvania‘s committee process can
be disruptcdand measures can
head straight for the floor, she
said.

Legislative committees proved
fatal recently to anti-abortion
bills in Illinois and Florida.

Abortion-rights leaders say that
the number of women in legisla-
tures affects abortion bills' out-
comes. With only 17 women in

Scorsone urges SGA
to rally for education

By MICHAEL L JONES
Editorial Editor

State Rep Ernesto Scorsone. l)-
T'Sth dlSUl‘t'l. urged the Student
Government AssoCiation Senate
last night to "twist some arms in
the Capitol" when the state legisla—
lure convenes in Janurary.

Scorsone, whose district includes
part of UK, also said that the legis-
lature “is coming to terms" with
that fact that “raising taxes l\ the
vitablc."

Scorsone said conforming to the
federal tax code would produce only
about $100 million. and therefore a
hike in the state's sales tax H prob-
able, Wllh food and drugs hClng' C\-
cmpt.

Scorsone told the Senate to look
at legislation “in personal terms of
what it means to you." and he said
that it needs to “build coalitions of
groups and families "

He also said that there will be a
slight increase in ltllllOll.

“I do not see any dramatic in-
crease in tuition." Scorsone said. “I
don't think we can atford to dramat-
ically increase tuttion."

Scorsone said that [K President
David Roselle “is doing a very
good job" dealing with faculty sal~
aries and that he understood that the
lack of good faculty salaries can
lead to a “brain drain.

Following Scorsi=ne's speech
SGA President Scan l ohrnan asked
for a revision of SGA s budget. Be-
cause “For Freshman Only.“ a
guide produced by 50A, made 82 lo
through advertisements in the pub-
lication, the Senate lowered the
$2,000 set aside tor the guide to
$300 and reappropriated the remain-
er of the funds to other areas of the
budget.

In other action last night the
Senate:

-A resolution was passed to sup»

cling Committe. The commute

tive branch ($700 from the l-‘rr’iii-

Soviets changing, experts say

Continued from page 1

After all, we've been asking for
years, ‘When are they going to
own up to their own problem?‘
And here they’ve done it"

The United States seemed to be
moving in tandem. On Monday
Baker called for “steady steps" in
arms negotiation.

There are ties among Baker’s re-
cent conciliatory speeches and She-
vardnadze's official act of contrition
on Afghanistan. said Duke Univer-
sity professor Jerry Hough, who is
an analyst of Soviet affairs.

“I think we're going back to the
1945 period when the great powers
cooperated in maintaining peace in
the Third World," he said.

Joe Nye, director of the Center
for International Affairs at Harvard
University. said he thinks the re
cent developments are Mikhail
Gorbachev's way of correcting
damage done by previous Soviet
leaders.

“Shevardnadze and Gorbachev are
making it clear that it was the
Brezhnevites, a handful of people,
who got the Soviet Union into
these deep troubles international-
1y," Nye said.

Shevardnadze probably was aim-
ing the Afghanistan remarks at
Eastern Europe, where the Soviets'
1979 invasion caused widespread
dismay.

“Shevardnadze's saying we
shouldn't have gone into Afghani-
stan means they’re also saying we
won’t go into Hungary. Poland or
East Germany." Hough said. “The
reality is they're letting the (Iron
Curtain) satellites go."

Marshall Goldman, head of the
Russian Research Center at Har-
vard, went farther than calling the
foreign minister's speech only a re-
pudiation of the Leonid Brezhnev
era, when a few Kremlin leaders
made policy.

“Shevardnadze's not just saying,
‘Spit on my predecessors!’ He’s
saying, ‘I spit on myself' for his
own involvement." Goldman said.
“They still have trouble telling the
truth on Chernobyl. but on Afgha-
nistan and Krasnoyarsk, he has
done a difficult thing — breaking
out of a lie."

Nelson said Shevardnadze’s re-
marks are Gorbachev’s way of do-
ing something positive with his
foreign policy during a time when
he is having so much trouble with

PIZZA

his domestic policy.

“Gorbachev is looking for a for-
eign policy success. He needed to
make these admissions." Nelson
said.

Nye said he also saw Shevardnad-
ze’s speech as an effort to buy time
with the Soviet people to work on
deepening domestic problems, in-
cluding fast-spreading shortages and
widespread hoardin' g.

Anderson said thc shift in Soviet
foreign policy is a reaction to the
poor Soviet economy. “Foreign
policy must follow economic inter-
ests,” he said.

Anderson said he thinks the US.
should follow the Soviet lead even
further.

“The Soviets are trying to set an-
other superpower agenda. They need
to invest in their own infrastruc—
ture. The US. needs to follow their
lead,” he said.

As the diplomats traded conciliat-
ory speeches, the feeling grew that
much of this had been orchestrated
by Baker and Shevardnadze at their
Sept. 22-23 meetings at Jackson
Hole, Wyo.

Walters.

Chapman enjoys
lifestyle in NBA

By CHRIS HARVEY
Senior Staff Writer

For former UK heartthrob Rex
Chapman, a couple of years have
made a big difference.

In just two years. Chapman has
gone from the demanding situation
of having UK
and the state on
his shoulders,
to a more re—
laxed atmos-
phere playing
for the Char-
lotte Hornets of
the National
Basketball As-
sociation.

Chapman‘s

return to Rupp CHAPMAN

Arena Tuesday night showed
10,146 well—wishers just h0w
much his attitude and demeanor
have changed since he decided to
forgo his final two years of college
eligibility for the NBA.

Chapman said that life off the
court at UK was a bit too much to
handle. He said that he had heard
about the pressure of being a Wild-
cat while lighting up the scoreboard
for Owensboro‘s Apollo High
School, but once he came on cam-
pus things, went a little too quick-
ly for him.

“Out of high school, I thought I
was prepared for what happened,”

at“ OVER 25.000

Chapman said. “Being from the
state. I knew what it was like up
there.

“A lot of weight was on my
shoulders,” he said, after scoring 16
points in a losing effort against the
NBA expansion Minnesota Timber-
wolves. “Everything I did was mag-
nified. All of a sudden I had a lot of
friends who wanted to be my friend
just because of who I was. A lot of
those people I don't see any-
more."

Chapman said that the pressures
on the court were not nearly as de-
manding as those he had to endure
off the court.

“On the court at UK was simple
— just go out and play,” he said.
“There was nothing like playing at
UK. It’s like a big fraternity.”

Now a key player for the Hor-
nets, Chapman said he relaxes.

“I get different recognition in
Charlotte," Chapman said. “And
my life on and off the court is sim-
ple: Just go out and be myself.

“There’s a real sense of ease off
the court. I like being in t‘ ' NBA.
I'm doing something I’ve wanted to
do all my life.

“Most people would kill to be in
my shoes,” Chapman said. “Every
night you play against great
players. You‘ll never play against a
slouch. There’s not a day that
doesn‘t go by that I don’t thank
God for what he's given me."

game wore “I love Rex” T-shirts
and brought banners with his name
written on it.

Chapman said he was a bit upset
with his performance Tuesday
night, especially since many had
come to see him play.

“I was disappointed in the way I
played," Chapman said. “It’s a
shame (the fans) had to see the
Charlotte Hornets play this way.”

Charlotte coach Dick Harter said
he felt that Chapman was a bit hard
on himself.

“Rex played hard, but we didn't
give him a lot of help,” Harter
said. “It’s hard to put the blame on
him. I hope someday we can come
back here, later in his career, and he
lights (the scoreboard) up for this
crowd”

Chapman said his goal is to be—
come a big-time NBA star, such as
a Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and
Erving “Magic” Johnson.

“Someday I want to be an NBA
all-star," Chapman said. “I want to
be the best player that I can be.”

Chicago fans hopeless
with demise of Bears

As a fan of Chicago's major
league sports teams (the White Sox
are. at best, a minor league fran-
chise), I have become used to cer-
tain annual disappointments like
the Cubs waiting until next year
and the Bulls falling just short of
NBA greatness. And even the future
of the one Chicago team that had
started a dynasty, the Bears, is
looking grim.

Instead of moving toward the
1990s. the Bears seem to be re-
gressing to the scant 19703 when
Walter Payton was the sole Bear
worthy of the tradition set up by
George “Papa Bear” Halas.

Last week Bears coach Mike Dit—
ka was doubtful that his squad
could win another game. After los—
ing Monday night to the Cleveland
Browns, Ditka felt better about the
ballclub, but he still did not give
his team the hope that it needs.

Since the 1985 Super Bowl vic-
tory, the Bears have been led by
turmoil and animosity instead of a
quality and “grown-up” coach and
quarterback.

The lack of cooperation between
of Ditka and his former quarterback
Jim McMahon is well known. The
two sent barbs at each other regu-
larly before the Bears (Ditka) final-
ly traded McMahon before this sea-
son started.

Bad move, Mike.

McMahon’s replacement was
Mike Tomczak, who showed early
brilliance but has faded lately. Even
though McMahon did have his
share of injuries, the Bears were
nearly unbeatable while he was in
the lineup.

And with Tomczak, the “Mon-
sters of the Midway" are now easy
prey for the NFL and even the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tomcmk is
unproven in the context of a sea—
son.

McMahon, however, had experi-
ence, and more importantly. he pro-
vided the leadership that the Bears
do not have any more. The Bears
also lost when defensive coordina-
tor Buddy Ryan left for the head
coach position in Philadelphia. And
on top of that, future Hall of Famer
Walter Payton retired.

The Bears‘ failure results not
only from the field, but also from
the skyboxes where the McCaskey

family sits. In recent years the fam-
ily has been bickering over control
of the ballclub when Chairman of
the Board Virginia McCaskey dies.
The feud has taken concentration
away from the field, where Bear ex-
ecutives need to be focusing their
attention as the team seemingly
folds.

After years of frustration, Chica-
go sports fans finally had a win-
ning team. The recent Bears success
rivaled the success of the Bear
teams which earned the “Monsters
of the Midway” nickname. It even
came close to Mayor Richard I.
Daley's lock on the city of Chica-
go.

The Bears owned the NFC Cen—
tral division, and were one of the
most successful NFL franchises of
the ’805. But now that has
changed.

The skyboxes also are responsi-
ble for the Bulls' annual near-miss
at greatness.

Shock pervaded Chicago when
Bulls owner Eddie Einhorn fired the
most successful coach in recent
Bulls history — Doug Collins.
Einhorn also owns the Sox. But
Einhorn is the perfect man for the
Sox job, since the South Siders be-
long on skid row.

The Bulls had bettered them-
selves in every season during Col-
lins’ tenure, a definite reason for
axing the coach.

It was rumored that Collins and
Michael Jordan did not get along.
But they got along as well as any
superstar bigger than his team and
coach can. Someone has to control
the reins on the other players.

In baseball, on the North Side,
the Cubs returned to mediocrity,
losing to the Giants in the NLCS.
Next to Jordan’s Bulls, the Cubs
have the most potential of any Chi-
cago team. But, as their history
proves. the Cubs will find a way to
lose.

The Cubs lose the NLCS, the
Bears are getting destroyed and the
White Sox are forever the White
Sox.

Can the Bulls now take up the
slack? Or more to the point, will
Einhorn stop getting in the way of
basketball and simply let Jordan
play?

Probably not.

Chicago‘s professional teams are
headed the only direction a team
from the Windy City can down.
The only championship a Chicago
team can win is in an All-Chicago
league.

But only if they're lucky.
