Candidates debate at UK about tuition, taxes

Both sides in the gubernatorial campaign want state to help universities more,
but they disagree on what to do with tobacco taxes in Kentucky

By Crystal Little
STAFF WRITER

While a possible 10 per
cent tuition increase looms.
candidate for governor Ben
Chandler and candidate for
lieutenant governor Steve
Pence stressed affordable tu-
ition at UK‘s Gubernatorial
Convocation Wednesday af-

ternoon.

Chandler. Kentucky's at-
torney general. said he
would like the state to invest
more in higher education.

“I believe that higher ed-
ucation reform is very good."
he told a packed Worsham
Theater. “I‘m going to do
everything I can to challenge
to get more."

Pence said tuition needs
to be affordable for students
and parents.

“We have to make tuition
affordable. not just for (par-
ents) like me. who pay tu-
ition. but for those who will
take out student loans." he
said. “The state does need to
continue to contribute to
higher education."

Pence spoke on behalf of
running mate US. Rep. Ernie
Fletcher. R-Ky.. who was
fund-raising in Louisville.
Fletcher‘s absence stirred
some debate between the two
men.

“It would be easier to
compare our records if the
other candidate even both-
ered to show up.” Chandler
said.

Smoking ban
hearing set

Judge VanMeter will hear ban again on Oct. 17;
UK prof says he'll probably rule in favor of ban
By Emll_y Hagedorn

NEWS EDITOR

The debate over Lexington's smoking ban will go
back to circuit court. Lexington Health Department and
County Council attorneys decided Tuesday.

Instead of challenging the injunction ruled by the
Kentucky Court of Appeals Monday. the dispute is yet
again gracing Circuit Court Judge Larry VanMeter‘s
courtroom.

VanMeter disallowed an. injunction on the ban on
Seglt. 23, which was later overturned by the court of ap'
pe s.

This time, the two sides -— the health department and
Council versus the Lexington Food and Beverage Associa-
tion -— will debate the merits of the law Oct. 17 at 2 pm.

Phillip Scott. attorney for the health department and
Council. said his side filed a motion for the merits to be
ruled on before the appeals court reached their verdict.

Despite that verdict. Scott decided to carry out his
prior motion.

VanMeter is unlikely to rule in favor of the Food and
Beverage Association since he previously sided with the
health department and City Council. said Bradley Canon.
a political science professor who specializes in law. courts
and judicial politics.

It is also not unheard of for a case to be debated in so
many courts. he said.

“It‘s not normal, but it's certainly not unknown."
Canon said. “It could still take six to 18 months.”

Scott said it was premature to predict how long court
proceedings will last but said he had expected a long fight
from the beginning. He said he could envision the debate
going to the state Supreme Court.

Two years ago. Scott said he gave a presentation at
the Holiday Inn on the smoking ban legislation.

“You better be prepared to be patient." he told them.

Despite the events. Scott said he is undeterred.

"It‘s a matter of when. not if." he said.

John Walters, attorney for the Food and Beverage
Association. could not be reached for comments because
he was working on a deposition in Texas.

Lexington’s smoking ban would prohibit smoking in
public places including bars, restaurants. bowling alleys.
billiard halls and sports arenas. among other areas.

The ban. the first of its kind in Kentucky. was ap-
proved in July.

It was to take effect Sept. 29.

Miller said
that it is not

in similar
cases for a

in exchange
for a case
not to go to

At the
time of his arrest, Turner
was on an unpaid leave of ab
senoe from the UK‘s police de

partment.
Turner served as a patrol

officer for nearly six years. He
started with the force Septem-
ber 1997 but went on leave
April 29 because of a work -re-
lated injury said Lt Richard
Willoby of Lexington Police‘ 5
Bureau of Investigations.

The leave and the charges
against Turner are unrelated.
said UK Public Relations.

The university would not
comment further. citing that
it does not discuss ongoing in-
vestigations.

During his tenure with
UK Police. Turner never faced
any disciplinary actions. said
Richard Siemer. vice presi-
dent of finance and adminis-
tration and official UK
records custodian.

First-degree sexual abuse
is a Class-D felony.

If found guilty. Turner
could face up to 15 years in
prison. The date of his next
trial has yet to be decided.

LOS ANGELES — Govelect Arnold
Schwarzenegger said Wednesday that he was
promised “a very smooth transition” by oust-
ed Gov. Gray Davis and vowed that he and his
advisers would “open up the books" as they
begin to tackle California's ailing economy In
his first news conference since being elected
governor. Schwarzenegger reiterated several
themes from the campaign trail. insisting that
he will not raise taxes and pledging to be a
governor of the people. But he provided few
specifics and said his transition team will de-
velop a plan in the coming weeks about how
to close a deficit of at least $8 billion.
Schwarzenegger said he had spoken with an
array of leaders including Nelson Mandela of
South Africa and President Bush. who he said
promised to do “whatever is possible to help
California." Schwarzenegger said he intended
to ask Bush for “a lot of favors."

Simbsolutlmforfixlnqspaceshuttle

WASHINGTON — A simple foam paint brush
that costs only pennies at hardware stores
could be an essential tool in returning the
space shuttle to orbit, NASA’s administrator
said Wednesday. Space agency engineers
found that the brush may be just what astro-
nauts need to spread a patching compound on
a space shuttle’s damaged heat shield while
the craft is in orbit. “This thing turns out to
be one of the most valuable tools we could
have invented.“ said Sean O’Keefe. head of the
National Aeronautics and Space Administra-
tion. “We're going to buy it at Wal-Mart. We‘re
not going to ask the Defense Department to

'_ reguisition it out of stock.“ Designing and

testing a way to repair damage in the shuttle‘s
heat shield is an important part of NASAs ef-
forts to return the space shuttle to orbit after
the Feb. 1 accident that destroyed the Colum-
bia and killed seven astronauts.

Non-English spedtinq homes in 0.5. rises
WASHINGTON * Nearly one in five Ameri-
cans speaks a language other than English at
home. the Census Bureau said. There‘s been
a surge of nearly 50 percent during the past
decade. Most speak Spanish. followed by Chi-
nese. with Russian rising fast. Some 47 mil-
lion Americans age five and older used a lan-
guage other than English in 2000. the bureau
said. That translates into the nearly one in
five. compared with roughly one in seven 10
years earlier. There also were more people
considered “linguistically isolated" because of
limited English. a situation that some ana-
lysts say can prevent people from assimilating
fully into American society and hinder activi-
ties like grocery shopping or communicating
with police or fire officials. The Spanish-
speaking population rose by 62 percent over
the period to 28.1 million: slightly more than

half also reported speaking English “very
well."

Some said the spats hu-
manized the candidates.

“We saw animosity on
both their parts,” said Silvia
Timmerding. a Spanish and
political science sophomore.
"It was good to see that. to
see them as people."

The two candidates also
discussed domestic partner
benefits at UK and raising

Kentucky's tobacco tax

Both candidates said
that they preferred to let the
university decide domestic
partner benefits for itself.

“The decision is up to
the university.” Pence said.
“I'm open-minded."

“If UK wants to go in
that direction. they should
go in that direction," Chan-
dler said.

They differed on raising
the tobacco tax, which is one
of the three lowest taxes in
the nation.

Pence is against raising
the tax. Chandler, however,
said he is for raising addi-
tional taxes.

The candidates ended
the convocation with a three
minute closing statement.

Chandler summed up his
campaign strategy with one
word: courage.

“I want to provide a good
government that people can
believe in," Chandler said.
“I want to lead us to a place
where we offer opportunity
to all."

Pence called for a change
in the way policy in Frank-
fort has been conducted.

“When you .wake up on
Nov 5. the headlines will
read either ‘same old stuff '
or ‘Fletcher wins governor
race.” Pence said.

 

Most attendees said they
were impressed by the event.

“I was pleased with the
high student turnout," said
University Senate Council
Chair Jeff Dembo. Along
with the University Senate,
the Staff Senate and Student
Government, hosted the
event.

“Having this kind of fo-
rum indicates we are elevat-
ing our level of civic aware-
ness. If students show civic
awareness in this venue, it
leads me to think they‘ll be
more likely to get heavily in-
volved in other areas."

diagnosed as leukemia.

The first to step forward
to help was his sister Chap
pell. In July. she endured
surgery to donate bone mar-
row for her brother. He re-
ceived the transplant and re
covery seemed imminent.
He would be home soon and
his life would return to nor-
mal.

But the pain returned.

“It was so hard to find
out that it was back," Chap
pell Schardein' said. “But we
just try to look at the posi-
tive side of things and look
at what we are going to do
next."

The next step was a
bone marrow testing drive
in Schardein‘s hometown of
Bowling Green. Ky, orga-
nized by his mother Lisa
Leachman. Nearly 4,000 peo
ple showed up.

“That support helped
tremendously." Leachman
said. “If it weren‘t for that
love and support we would
not have made it as well as
we have.“

The success of the test-

ing drive astounded every-
one involved.

“Philip's team of doc-
tors was amazed," Leach-
man said. "They said they
had never heard of such
support.”

In Lexington, that sup-
port grew further.

UK Athletics Director
Mitch Barnhart told Schard-
ein’s story in his weekly E-
mail to Cat fans. Former UK
basketball player J.P.
Blevins. a close friend of
Schardein, has appeared on
television to encourage peo-
ple to be tested and to raise
money for the tests. Last
week, Gambino’s nightclub
hosted a fundraiser that
generated $1,400 for testing.

The strongest support
has come from Schardein’s
friends and even from those
who barely knew him.

Current UK golfer Matt
Kohn only met Schardein in
passing, yet he was one of
the first to get tested, Craig
said.

“This support for Philip
is a direct reflection of the
impact he had on the lives of
others," he said. “You can’t
help but pull for him and his
family."

Teal Baxter. a friend of
Schardein‘s girlfriend Mau-

ra McGill, has helped coor-
dinate fundraisers and test-
ing drives, including this
week’s drive at the Central
Kentucky Blood Center:

“I know if I were in her
shoes. (McGill) would be the
first person to do something
for me, so I don‘t think I am
doing anything special.”
Baxter said. “It’s just what
she would do for me."

For everyone. the goal is
the same — to find a match
for Schardein.

Finding that match will
be difficult, said Marsha
Berry, spokesperson for the
Central Kentucky Blood
Center. but the act of being
tested will help in many
ways.

When someone is test-
ed. he or she is added to the
Bone Marrow Registry, she
said, and that could lead to
helping someone just like
Philip.

“There are Philips all
over the nation —— someone's
son, someone's boyfriend —
who are all looking for
match and at the same time

looking for blood,” she said.

“That‘s a way you can help

right now."

“Your blood is going to

be helping someone within
24 hours."

Giving blood reminded
Power of Schardein's status
back at the hospital in Hous-
ton, Texas.

“Sitting here puts it in
perspective what Phillip is
going through everyday."
she said. “I just think about
how much he is going
through right now."

From Houston, Schard-
ein inspires those close to
him with his constant opti-
mism and hope for the fu-
ture.

“You call him trying to
cheer him up, and he ends
up cheering you up," Craig
said. "He has faith that
everything will work out."

In the mean time. a
growing group of friends
and supporters works to
make those hopes reality.

Arnold's name too long

Editors say ‘Schwarzenegger' hard to fit in headlines

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Now
that Arnold Schwarzenegger
has been elected governor,
California newspaper editors
are scratching their heads
over the daily challenge of
squeezing his 14-letter last
name into a headline. Copy
editors, given large headlines
to work with during thenecall
election, are likely to have
smaller spaces for daily sto
ries on state government.

“There were copy editors
across the state who were
dreading the prospect of
Schwarzenegger becoming
governor, not because of poli-
tics but because of the fit,"
said John Armstrong, editor
of the Contra Costa Times.
Editors at the newspaper
briefly discussed using
Schwarzenegger‘s three ini-
tials, like JFK and LBJ. Arm-
strong said.

“But We looked up his
middle name, Alois and AAS,
not so good ” he said. “Editors
like me across the state would
have a sleepless night worry-
ing about the possible typo."

Some may opt for the
bland term “governor." Oth-
ers may take his name out of
the headline as the San Jose
Mercury News did Wednes-
day when it proclaimed
“BLOWOUT!"

Below the single word, in
smaller letters. was a sec-
ondary headline: “It’s Gover-
nor Schwarzenegger; Angry
Voters Dump Davis.”

Editors who've watched
dozens of Schwarzenegger's
films and followed his wife’s
family for half a century
might take the liberty of call-
ing him Arnold —— or even
Iron Arnie, as he is referred
to by the Kleine Zeitung news-
paper in his native Austria.

“Today we used the word
Arnold,” said Morton Saltz-
man. deputy managing of
The Sacramento Bee. “1 sus-
pect we might be going to that
in headlines, because he’s
used it. He's called himself
Gov. Arnold."

But Saltzman said some
editors are concerned that
might sound too friendly, and
“g3vernor” may win in the
en .

go to talk to professionals at
University Health Services.

open this week for students
who participate in the
screening.

“Occasionally, we will
have people that have really
high scores at the National
Depression Screening Day."
Bolin-Reece said. “We will
have them see someone
right away."

In addition to depres-
sion, other common issues
include anxiety and inter-
personal issues.

Over eight percent of
students seen last school
year reported making a sui-
cide attempt. she said.

The center offers the
QPR program — question.

people save others from sui-

university in Kentucky to of-

Bolin-Reece said.

Pamphlets containing
information about mental
illnesses will also be avail-
able at the library today for
students to take and read.

Employees from the
Counseling and Testing Cen-
ter. University Health Ser-
vices and Department of
Psychiatry will be there to
answer questions.

UK has offered the free
screenings on this day for
the past five years.

“We usually screen 60 to
80 people,” said Todd Cheev-
er. associate professor of
psychiatry. “It was up the
year of Sept. 11. and it was
down last year."

Cheever says the pur-
pose of the free screenings
is to inform students about
mental illnesses.

“Mental illnesses are
very common and treatment
is effective.“ Cheever said.

Bolin-Reece added that
the free screenings can help
people understand how they
are feeling. put a name to it
and show them where to get
help.

Game draws controversy;

activists boycott stores

Black clergy leaders outraged at “Ghettopoly;"
Urban Outfitters stores still carry the product

ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA _ Cheap
Trick Avenue instead of
Boardwalk? Hernando’s
Chop Shop instead of Read-
ing Railroad?

Black leaders are out-
raged over a new board game
called “Ghettopoly" that has
“playas” acting like pimps

“You got yo‘ whole neighbor-

Black clergymen say the

for a boycott of Urban Outfit-

stops selling Ghettopoly in
its chain of clothing stores.

is in Cincinnati, Ohio.

“If we are silent on this

Robert P. Shine Sr., president
of the Black Clergy of
Philadelphia & Vicinity, said
at a sidewalk rally Wednes-

in Philadelphia.

Shine displayed the
game board, with properties
including Westside Liquor,
Harlem. The Bronx, and
Long Beach City, and squares
labeled Smitty‘s XXX Peep
Show, Weinstein’s Gold and
Platinum, and Tyron's Gun
Shop.

Players draw “Hustle"
and “Ghetto Stash“ cards
with directions like. “You‘re
