Rose to head up student committee

By .i.-\v BLANTON
Editor in t‘hiel

FRANKFURT. Ky Student Govern
ment Asstx-iation President James Rose
was named Friday to chair the student ad
voeates committee of the (‘ouncil on High
er Education

The committee. part of the t‘HE's Stu
dent Ady'isory t‘ommittee. Will be responsi
ble for the Student Advocates For Higher
Education. which addresses student con
cerns in higher education

Last semester SAFE staged a rally at
the capitol steps to call tor increased fund
ing to higher education in protest of (iov
Wallace Wilkinson‘s executive budget
which allotted only small increases in
higher education funding About moo peo.
ple attended the rally

Rose's appointment came at the first
meeting of the advisory committee at the
(‘HE on Friday The advisory committee
includes student government representa
tives from each of the state‘s eight tiniver
sities and is used primarily to assist the
student member of the council in higher
education issues

Rose. who was head of SGA s lobbyint.t
effort last year. said he would try to torin
an outline of the lobbying program at 't'K
to help coordinate similar efforts at the
other state universities

Rose said he wants the advocacy com
mittee to encourage students to contact
their legislators and county officials about
the need for increased tunding tor higher
education

Jim Hill, student t‘llli member and head

of the council's Student Advisory (‘ommit
tee. said he tabbed Rose for the committee

because of his experience and contacts
with lobbying legislators in Frankfort

In particular. Hill noted Rose‘s efforts
last year as the head of SCA‘s lobbying efr
tort. saying that he believes Rose can sell
the idea of student advocacy beyond the
(K campus to the other state universities.

t‘hristy Bradford, SGA's administrative
director of student appointments. said
ltose has several contacts in Frankfort

“via the SAFE program of last year
which make him qualified for the (-itmmll
teeposition

“I think that they realize that lit‘ has a
certain speciality” in lobbying the lt-gis
lature. said Bradford u ho attended the :id

Quest to succeed on the field takes toll

Associated Press

LUL'ISVILIL‘. Ky High schools in
Kentucky are doing whatever it takes to
win in sports. with the quest taking its toll
in the classroom. The t,‘ourier-.lournal re
ported yesterday

Winning is the name of the game for
coaches who want to keep their jobs and
athletes seeking college scholarships. the
newspaper reported in the first of a series
of articles on the issue.

“There's more emphasis on winning and
losing than ever befoe. said Glyn Rob
erts. a sports psychologist at the t'niversi-
ty of Illinois “If you observe kids playing
informally. they compete. they win and
lose. but winning isn't the issue The issue
is the importance that adults place on win
ning and 10sing

"Mom and dad smile when kids win
games, Winning becomes the only thing "

Statistically. an average of only one Ken
tucky high school basketball player in 35
will compete in college. and only one in t.
100 will play professionally

Nevertheless. Roberts said. colleges look

 

Moro problem exist In tho my

upon high schools as feeder systems and
encourage them to use such tools as sum-
mer camps and weight training to produce
athletes who can contribute as college
treslinien

The newspaper interviewed more than
47.3 mar-hes. teachers, students. parents
and officials associated with approxi-
mately l20 of the state’s high schools for
the series. It also reviewed thousands of
documents. including Kentucky High
School Athletic Association case files on
each of its 292 member schools.

Many high schools increasingly encour
age athletes to devote virtually all of their
extracurricular time to a single sport and
to spend their vacation months in training.

“Playing in the summer is (ssential if
you don't have great athletes." said Mike
Reitz. boys' basketball coach at Maysville

High School in northeastern Kt‘llltlth)
"For a small school to keep up. you'ye got
to do something.

“If the kids don‘t have the desire to tom
pete during the summer. we dont do :i_
and we don't look forward to a suctesstul
season."

Summertime basketball is mandatory
for varsity aspirants at .\l.(‘ Napier in
Perry County, Jobs and vacations are
planned around Napier's summer basket
ball schedule.

"If a boy wants to loaf during ttic sum
meri. you just let him loaf during the sea
son. too." said (‘oach I)enn_\ Frigate.
whose teams have played as many l.~ to
games in a summer.

When the competition heats up. .in do
tempers Poor sportsmanship including
verbal abuse and physical assault is be
coming more frequent. according to Tom
Mills. commissmner of the KHSAA,

The newspaper found that about To Ken
lucky high schools have violated or ap
pear to have violated . one or more
KHSAA rules during the past five years.

State’s top Dems talk of breaking open ‘dead heat’ race

By CHARLES wom:
Associated Press

FRANKFORT. Ky. ~ Gov. Wal
lace Wilkinson and other ranking
Kentucky Democrats said Friday
that strength of organization and ii
whopping edge in voter registration
would mean a breakthrough for Mt
chael Dukakis in his deadbeat
struggle to carry the state against
George Bush.

“County by county. precinct by
precinct. Democrats are gomg to
do the hand~to~hand combat nec
essary to Win this election." Wil»
kmson said in a news conference to
announce additions to the Dukakis
Bentsen state campaign organizar
tioii

Wilkinson said the race is even at
this potnt. The state Democratic
party is united behind Dukakis and

'Wlll not be defeated" on No\ . 8

\sked how the race could be
eyeii if Democrats. who outnumber
registered Republicans 214-1. were
united. Wilkinson said "We'll have
to wait until Nov it to answer that
with any degree of certainly. but
ll tell you right now the Demo

crats are coming home. This
campaign hasn‘t begun yet."

Wilkinson. who chairs Dukakis'
state campaign. said he would
begin personally stumping for the
ticket about three weeks before the
election.

"Voters are not yet focused on
this campaign." Wilkinson said.
"We are going to be out there when
they begin to focus."

The iLouisville) Courier-Jour-
nal's Bluegrass State Poll. pub-
lished Friday. showed Bush with a
lead of 47 percent to Dukakis‘ 45
percent in the race for Kentucky‘s
nine electoral votes The poll.
based on interviews of 586 likely
voters. had a 4 percent margin of
error. making Bush‘s advantage
statistically meaningless.

"We know it‘s going to be a very
tight race. . Every vote counts.“
said former Gov. Martha Layne
Collins. an early supporter of Du-
kakis who campaigned for the Mas
sachusetts governor throughout the
South during the primary elections

Many voters will be holding back
until nearly Election Day. trying to
decide which ticket will win, (‘ol-

lim said. adding: “We have to
show them we‘re going to be the
winningteam."

She also said Dukakis was finally
starting to "take his jacket off“
and fire back at Bush. which many
of Dukakis' supporters had been
waiting for. but that it was critical
for Dukakis to take a lead in com-
munication to voters.

“Unless we get our message out.
we‘re going to leave people with
some misinformation." Collins
said, citing in particular Bush‘s ap-
parently successful criticism of Du-
kakis for vetoing a Massachusetts
bill making the Pledge of Alle-
giance mandatory for schoolchil-
dren. Bush has used the veto to
question Dukakis' patriotism.

“If anyone thinks for one minute
that Michael Dukakis is not a patri»
085118020tic man. then they just
don't understand." Collins said.
"We let the Republicans develop
an issue that really wasn't an
issue."

At the news conference. Wilkin~
son announced six co-chairmen of
Dukakis‘ state campaign: Louis-
ville Mayor Jerry Abramson. who
