US. will win gulf, recession wars, Bush says

By TERENCE HUNT
Associated Press

WASHINGTON -— President Bush con-
fidently assured Americans last night that
the war against Iraq will be won and the re-
cession at home will recede in short order.
“We stand at a defining hour,” the president
said in his State of the Union address.

“The winds of change are with us now.
The forces of freedom are united,” Bush
said in remarks prepared for a nationally
broadcast address to a joint session of Con-
gress.

It was the first wartime State of the Un-
ion address since Vietnam. Extraordinary
security precautions enshrouded the Capi-
to]. a bow to threats of terrorism.

“For two centuries, we've done the hard

work of freedom. And tonight, we lead the
world in facing down a threat to decency
and humanity,” Bush said.

“As Americans, we know there are times
when we must step forward and accept our
responsibility to lead the world away from
the dark chaos of dictators, toward the
brighter promise of a better day." Bush said.

The president delivered a terse assess-
ment of the war to date: “I’m pleased to re-
port that we are on course. Iraq’s capacity to
sustain war is being destroyed.

“Time will not be Saddam’s salvation."

With Americans’ attention focused on the
almost half-million troops risking their lives
in the Persian Gulf. Bush devoted the heart
of his annual address to the two-week—old
battle to force Saddam out of Kuwait.

In the Congress, Democrats and Republi-

cans rallied behind the president. “Now
that war has begun, we'll work to see that
it’s swift and decisive, with the least possi-
ble loss of life," said Senate Majority Lead-
er George Mitchell. D-Maine, one of those
who had preferred more diplomacy to war.
Bush paid tribute to the democratic aspi-
rations of the people of the Soviet Baltic
states and said he remained “deeply con-
cerned” about the Kremlin’s crackdown.
Bush. who met Monday with Soviet For-
eign Minister Alexander Bessmertnykh.
said the Soviet leadership had made prom-
ises that “would result in the withdrawal of
some Soviet forces. a reopening of dia-
logue with the Republics and a move away
from violence.” Administration sources
said the United States was expecting a
“substantial withdrawal,” and some roll-

back had already been detected.

Bush also announced he was refocusing
the decade-old Strategic Defense Initiative
to protect against limited ballistic missile
threats. rather than an all-out nuclear war.
He praised the success of Patriot antimissile
missiles. a Star Wars-style weapon that has
killed dozens of Iraqi Scud missiles.

“Let us pursue an SDI program that can
deal with any future threat to the United
States, to our forces overseas, and to our
friends and allies," he said.

For the first time, Bush acknowledged
without qualification that the nation is in a
recession. “People are in genuine economic
distress. I hear them,” he said.

But he said, “There are reasons to be op-
timistic about our economy" —- citing low
inflation and record export levels by US.

firms.

“We will get this recession behind us.
and return to growth —— soon,” Bush prom-
ised. stopping short of offering a blueprint
for recovery.

Constrained by huge budget deficits.
Bush offered only a modest list of domestic
priorities.

He briefly mentioned plans still under
wraps for a national energy strategy. an
overhaul of the banking system. education
initiatives and a proposal to transfer 315 bil-
lion worth of federal programs to the states
with grants to fund them

Once again. Bush proposed a controver-
sial cut in taxes on capital gains —— an ini-
tiative denounced by Democrats as a tax

How do you silence 800
screaming hockey fans and make
them listen? Or what about com-
pelling everyone in Memorial
Coliseum to stand up and take
their hats off?

William Burnett knows.

Burnett. a UK student, sings
the national anthem at all Cool
Cat ice hockey games and all
Lady Kat basketball games. Sing-
ing a cappella. his tones are clear
and beautiful. People pay atten-
tion and acknowledge his talent
with whoops. cheers and ap-
plause.

Born in Chicago but raised in
Shepherdsville. Ky., Bumett‘s

 

tenor is world class. Because he
started at an early age, he has per—
fected his capabilities.

“I’ve been singing as long as I
can remember," Burnett said. “I
started at church. I was probably
4 or 5."

There have been many influ-
ences in Burnett's life.

“I haven’t liked pop music
since the early ‘70s. I listen to a
lot of reggae and country. I get
some ideas from that."

He’s also had several profes-
sional experiences. “I played for
three years in a rock band singing
mostly Mick Jagger. and I played
bass guitar."

He also writes music for the
Crusade for Children in Louis-
ville, Ky.

then he hopes to attend law school
at Brigham Young University.

“Music is just a hobby right
now." Burnett said. ”I know I can
always fall back on it to make a

Conflict will change Islam,
nationalism, professor says

By MARY BETH MAZZEO
Contributing Writer

Nationalism and Islam Will
change drastically in the Arab world
because of the war in the Persian
Gulf against Iraq. a UK history pro—
fessor said last night.

“The challenge facing the Arabs
is that it will be in an arena that is
under the control of the United
States and of Israel in political and
military terms," said Robert Olson,
one of the speakers at a forum held
in LtK‘s student center.

The hour—long forum, which drew
a crowd of about 150, featured 01-
son. an expert in middle eastern af-
fairs and Abadallah Muhammad, a
doctoral candidate in the Political
Scrcncc Department who is from
Kuwait.

Olson said Arabs will have a diffi-
cult timc when the war is over be-
cause “they will have to carry out

their religious ideologies in a dc-
plctcd political arena."

Muhammad explained several
reasons why Arabs don‘t see eye-to—
eyc. another reason Arab national-
ism and Islam would be altered.

Muhammad, who was born and
educated in Kuwait. said he be;
lieved the crisis was the result of the
“selfishness of Saddam Hussein"
but that it was not it result of Arab
nationalism nor Islamic fundamcn»
talism.

“It is the corruptions of the elites
led by Saddam Hussein.” he said.

Muhammad defined Arab nation—

tilism as the desire to include all 22
Arabs states into a \llfL‘It‘, powerful
itmt. Hc mentioned thrcc character-
istics of this mission: unity. free
dom and soCialism.

those three is most important and

Students at UK face many chal-

Kats look to upset Auburn

By AL HILL
Senior Staff Writer

An upset is on the minds of the
Lady Kats once again as the basket-
ball team plays
the seventh-
ranked Auburn
Tigers tonight at
Memorial Coli-
seum. Tip-off is
set for 7:30 pm.

However, it
won’t be easy.
Auburn (16-3

 

Overall. 3-1
Southeastern
Conference) gave
resounding proof of its dominance
and relentlessness last Saturday
against Mississippi State with an 89-
38 victory. That’s right —— a 51-
point pounding.

The Lady Kats contend that they
won’t be taken lightly.

“They (Auburn) respect us com-
ing in here and know they will have
to play hard,” said Lady Kat coach
Sharon Fanning.

And Fanning is backed up by
numbers.

Although the Lady Kats (13-5. 1-

3) don't stand out in the SEC win
column, the team does come into the
game leading the SEC in scoring, re-
bounding and steals.

The Kats, despite three SEC loss-
es against a single victory, have
played the league tough thus far.

At third-ranked Tennessee. the
Lady Kats led the game at halftime,
only to squander their lead in the
end and lose 80-70.

UK also lost a tight one to 10th-
ranked Louisiana State. falling by
only four points in Baton Rouge.

“With teams like this, when you
let down one minute, it might mean
two or three points that determine
the ballgame," Fanning said.

Leading the Lady Tiger attack is
Kodak All-American senior guard
Carolyn Jones. She ranks second in
the conference in scoring, averaging
20.7 points per game.

They have three players that re-
turn from last year’s starting lineup
— Jones, C.C. Hayden and Kendall
Mago.

“They are quick (and) tall. They
have depth at their inside-outside
game. They run the floor really
well,” Fanning said.

The player that makes Auburn go

is conference assist leader guard
Chantel Tremitiere, who averages
seven assists per game.

Attempting to counteract the tal-
ented Lady Tigers will be a UK
team led by sophomore center Joce-
lyn Mills and junior forward Stacy
McIntyre.

Both Lady Kats have played con-
sistently well of late.

Mills hauled in a career-high 15
rebounds and scored 13 points in
Sunday’s loss to Alabama. McIntyre
led all scorers with 22 points.

McIntyre ranks ninth in the con-
ference in scoring, averaging 14.7
points per game.

However, junior sharp—shooting
guard Kristi Cushenberry was only
able to get off six shots in that game
for a total of nine points. Sopho-
more center Pattresa Leonard scored
only four points in 33 minutes of
play.

Fanning said that every member
of her squad must produce before it
can leave Memorial Coliseum with
a victory tonight.

“We are going to have to have a
well-balanced attack. We need three
or four players in double figures,"
Fanning said.

 

 

 

 

Diving tower lauded by contractors

By TAMMY GAY
Staff Writer

UK's diving team has been saying
all along that the new diving tower
at the Harry C. Lancaster Aquatics
Center was the best in the world.

Yesterday, the tower’s technical
dominance was firmly established
— in this commonwealth. anyway
— when its contractors were hon—
ored with the Association of Gener-
al Contractors 1990 “Build Ken-
tucky” award.

E.C. Matthews Company won the
award, which lists “state-of—the-art
advancement” as one the six criteria
used in evaluating structures.

The annual statewide competition
gives awards in three categories —
buildings, highways and utilities.
E.C. Matthews Company won the
Building Division.

The $239,950 project was judged
in six areas, including project man-
agement, construction techniques,
client service, and contribution to
the community.

Before the tower was completed

in October, UK divers had to travel
to Ohio State University to practice.
UK is now the only SEC school
other than LSU to have a diving
tower.

It has already proven its worth to
UK. In November, UK hosted the
World Team Diving Trials — the
most presitigious diving meet in the
United States next to the Olympic
trials.

UK is also scheduled to hold the
SEC Diving Championships Feb.
21-23.

The tower’s most unique quality
is its force plate — which was im-
ported from Switzerland. One of
only two such devices in the world
— the other being in Barcelona,
Spain — the plate measures the
force exerted by the divers as they
leave the platform.

The plate provides researchers
and coaches with a new tool for
studying a diver’s performance,
head coach Wynn Paul said.

The construction of the tower re-
quired cooperation between UK and
the construction company, Mat-

thews said.

“It (the award) does speak of the
ability of UK to administer a con-
struction contract smoothly," Mat-
thews said.

“It wouldn’t matter how the de-
sign was if there wasn’t a lot of
cooperation between UK and the
contractor.”

During construction, the concrete
platforms had to be supported from
the pool bottom. The metal used for
support was sensitive to chlorinated
water.

The contractor — to avoid ero-
sion —- designed a two-component
sharing system, consisting of a plat-
form resting on wood timbers.

The platform protruded from the
water and served as a base for con-
ventional metal sharing.

The pool was never drained, as
the contractor used divers to place
the timbers.

“We received this award because
this job was good all the way
around,” Matthews said. “That’s a
credit to the. people in design and
construction at UK."

Giants decline
to celebrate win

By SHEILA McNULTY
Associated Press

NEWARK, NJ. — The New
York Giants turned down invitations
yesterday to celebrate their Super
Bowl victory with the New Jersey
governor and mayor of New York
City, saying it wouldn‘t be right
with war raging in the Persian Gulf.

New Jersey Gov. Jim Florio and
New York City Mayor David Din-
kins had invited the Giants to cele-
brate their 20-19 Sunday victory
over the Buffalo Bills with fans on
either side of the Hudson River.

“We‘re turning down all deals,"
said Giants spokesman Ed Croke.
“It would be inappropriate to show
celebration."

In New York, workers had al-
ready started setting up stands for a
scheduled ceremony today.

Dinkins was to present the keys to
the. city to Giants coach Bill Parcells
and owners Wellington and Tim
Mara. The mayor also had planned
to issue a proclamation honoring the
Giants.

But Dinkins said he understood
the last-minute change in plans.

“I understand and respect this ges-
ture and share their desire to support
the young men and women fighting
in the Persian Gulf.” he said.

CNN airs first tape of Saddam interview

NEW YORK —— CNN’s first showing of a taped interview with
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein began yesterday. But the transmis-
sion was interrupted by what CNN said was an air raid over Bagh-
dad.

CNN said the interruption occurred at 4:08 pm. EST after CNN
staffers in Baghdad had transmitted 12 minutes of the 90-minute in-
terview Saddam taped Monday with correspondent Peter Amett.

CNN showed excerpts of what had been sent, starting 20 minutes
after the transmission stopped. CNN had no word on when the trans-
missions would resume, said spokesman Steve Haworth.

The tape was being sent via a portable satellite transmitter that a
five-member CNN crew brought over land in a 2-ton truck from Jor—
dan on Monday.

Iraq, eager to tell its side of the Persian Gulf war to CNN‘s global
audience, granted the news team visas to enter Iraq. It refused the
visa requests of ABC, NBC and CBS, those networks say.

Amett, using a satellite telephone and subject to Iraqi censorship,
reported on Monday the main poian of Saddam’s interview, includ-
ing the Iraqi president‘s statements that his Scud missiles can carry
chemical, biological and nuclear warheads. Iraq‘s satellite transmitter
was knocked out by United States-led air raids against government
facilities in the Baghdad area shortly after the Persian Gulf war be-
gan two weeks ago.

Oil prices jump
NEW YORK —— Oil prices jumped nearly $1 per barrel yesterday,

Talks reach deadlock

 

WASHINGTON —— A deadlock on ways to prevent cheating on
nuclear weapons reductions confronted Secretary of State James A.
Baker III and Soviet Foreign Minister Alexander A. Bessmertnykh in
their talks yesterday.

The verification issue was the biggest obstacle to completing a
strategic arms reduction treaty to cut by about 30 percent the arsenals
of U.S. and Soviet nuclear-armed long-range missiles, bombers and
submarines.

Court appeals hijack conviction

WASHINGTON —— A federal appeals court yesterday upheld the
conviction ofa Lebanese hijacker found guilty of taking over a jetlin-
er in Beirut in 1985 with two Americans on board.

Fawaz Younis, who was lured to his 1987 arrest by FBI agents
with promises of sex and drugs and brought to the United States to
stand trial, had sought to overturn his convictions for hostage-taking,
aircraft piracy and conspiracy.

10 asked Bush to block firm

WASHINGTON — Ten House members asked President Bush
yesterday to block a Japanese firm from buying into a company
whose products are used to make atomic weapons.

The bipartisan group urged Bush in a letter to prevent Fanuc Co. of
Japan from buying a 40 percent share of Moore Special Tool Inc. 3
Bridgeport, Conn, firm that makes precision tool—making machines.

Kent State students not as active
compared to the Vietnam days

By MIM HALL
College Information Network

KENT, Ohio — Times have
changed at Kent State University.

Kent State is linked in the nation-
al consciousness to student protest,
and some people see this Midwest
university as a bellwether of anti-
war activism on campuses from
California to New York.

They may be surprised at what
they would see today.

More than 20 years after National
Guardsmen killed four students dur-
ing protests of the U.S. invasion of
Cambodia, a new breed of activist
has emerged — resentful of Kent's
past and supportive of the Persian
Gulf War.

“We want to let Kent State know
that there‘s a strong American
voice here," said Mike Homula, 20,
a founder of United Students for the
Liberation of Kuwait. “The anti-

A parking attendant’s booth at
Graham and Gladstone avenues was
vandalized Thursday night, accord-
ing to UK police reports.

Two windows were smashed and
the radio belonging to booth worker
Elizabeth Jelinck was stolen. The
theft occured between 2:15 and 2:45
am.

“They took my radio and
trashed everything on the floor,"
Jelinck said. “This is the second
time the booth has been vandalized.
The first incident occurred last year.

“If they‘d wanted (the radio) that
bad, they should have asked me. I
would have given it to them," said
Jelinck.

UK Police said they would re-
place the radio.

war protesters are the only voice
that’s been heard here. I think it’s
time we stopped living in the past
and started looking to the future."

Trish Hooper, 2], editor of the
student newspaper, the Daily Kent
Stator, said: “People view Kent as
the hotbed. That was true, but
colleges everywhere are more con-
servative these days."

Especially here.

Since the war began last week,
pro-military rallies have attracted
hundreds who gather by the library
to holler support for the troops and
the president

Tape on the windows of the uni-
versity's architecture building spells
out, “Support 4 R Troops."

“Isn’t that fascinating?" said soci-
ology professor Jerry Lewis, a wit-
ness to the May 4, I970, shootings.

“I remember when it used to say,
‘Remembcr the Kent State Four.’ ”

But most of today’s students can
hardly remember a time when con-
servatives weren't in the White
House.

“We haven’t had experience with
anything else," Hooper said. “We
were too young for Caner."

Still, anti-war protests haven't
disappeared.

Every day at noon, r'r‘mbers of
the Progressive Students Network
hold an hour-long vigil on campus.
and several anti-war protests have
been held since the war broke out.

They are more peaceful than their
predecessors.

At a rally last week, pro- and
anti-war protesters stancd shouting
at each other, and some seemed
ready to come to blows.

Other students urged restraint and
both sides agreed to encourage
open, friendly discussion of the is-
sue.

“We’re trying to set a new (anti-
violence) standard at Kent," said
Laura Bauer, 18, a progressive
group member.

One reason is that students feel
that because of the shootings. the
nation is watching and wondering
what will happen here.

“We are highly aware" of Kent's
impact, Bauer said.

Lewis said he was “very appre-
hensive that it would get nasty. But
I'm very proud of our students —
they‘re very conscious of their pub-
lic image. You don‘t like to be a
cultural stereotype."

And the students say they don't
want to do anything to stir up old
memories; they are eager to move
on.

“I realize II was a terrible thing
that happened," \Llld Christine
Young, 21, regarding the killings.

Ecological alarm sounds as oil spill creeps in

u DEMS D. GRAY
Associated Press

- RIYADH. Saudi Arabia — Saudi
Arabia has sounded an international
ecological alarm as it moves to pre-
vent the wholesale death of coral
reefs, turtles, birds and other ani-
mals from history's greatest oil
spill.

With the slick already polluting
some areas of the Saudi Arabian
coastline, teams have been dis-
patched to rescue wildlife and sur-
Vey the general impact, a leading
Saudi environmental official said
yesterday.

Abdulaziz H Abuzinada the sec-
retary- general of the National Com-
mission for Wildlife Conservation
and Development, said booms were
placed around the Jena, Keram, Ke-

reen and Jeried islands in the Per-
sian Gulf to protect vital nesting
grounds for thousands of birds and
seaturtles.

Abuzinada said his agency was
establishing links with wildlife ex-
perts around the world. hoping to
create a task force to aid the animals
in distress or destroy those beyond
help.

US. and Saudi military officials
say the slick was deliberately
caused by lraq opening the tap at
Kuwait’s Al-Ahmadi oil tanker sta-
tion. They describe the action as
“ecological terrorism.“

American warplanes bombed two
onshore piping facilities Saturday
that were connected to an offshore
terminal from which an estimated
460 million gallons of Oil gushed
into the gulf.

“The problem is so large that no assurance can be
given that the available resources and expertise will
be able to prevent severe ecological damage.”

Abdulaziz H. Abuzinada,

National Commission for Wildlife Conservation
—

On Monday, the US. military
said it believed the spill —— estimat-
ed to be 35 miles long and 10 miles
wide — had been largely stopped at
the source.

“The problem is so large that no
assurance can be given that the
available resources and expertise
will be able to prevent severe eco
logical damage," Abuzinada said.

A team of American experts has
arrived and other countries and pri-
vate citizens have offered help.

But Abuzinada stressed there still
was great need for more intemation-
al assistance.

He said it would be difficult to

ing given to warding off the slick
from water desalination and elec-
tricity generation plants along Saudi
Arabia‘s gulf coast.

Oil industry experts estimated
that the slick would hit Jubail —
site of the world‘s largest desalina-
tion plant — in about tltree days.

US. officials said the spill's lead-
ing edge was heading south at 15
miles a day but there were also re-
ports of speedier movement.

Industry experts warn that high
waves or heavy currents could
splash oil over booms designed to
protect against the slick.
