Clinton asks A

W

mericans

to accept large tax hike

 

By Terence Hunt
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —— President
Clinton asked Americans last night
to accept one of the biggest tax in-
creases in history, part of a tough
$499 billion plan to curb massive
budget deficits and stimulate the
economy.

“We must do this together," he
said in a pointed 60-minute overture
to a joint session of Congress. “This
economic plan cannot please every-
one. If this package is picked apart,
there will be something that will an-
ger each of us. But if it is taken as
whole, it will help all of us."

The plan is a mixture of $246 bil-
lion in tax increases and $253 bil-
lion in spending cuts over four
years. “Our budget will, by 1997,
out $140 billion from the deficit —~
one of the greatest real spending
cuts by an American president," he
said.

“If we do not act now," Clinton
said, “we will not recognize this
country 10 years from now." By
that time, he said the deficit would
have grown to $635 billion a year
and the national debt would con-
sume almost 80 percent of the gross
domestic product.

“Americans have called for
change," the president said, “and
now it is up to those of us in this
room to deliver." He warned that
lobbyists would try to block the pro-
gram.

Clinton‘s prime-time speech was
delivered in the House chamber.
where majority Democrats gave a
thunderous welcome to the first
Democrat to hold the White House
in 12 years.

Republicans denounced Clinton‘s
plan as a massive round of tax
hikes. GOP lawmakers wore but-
tons that said “Tax and Spend.
Again" and “It’s Spending. Stupid."

House GOP Leader Bob Michel
said, “The American people would
do well to remember: When you

hear a Demo-
crat call for
taxes, do not
ask for whom
the tax rises
— it will rise
for you.

“Tonight
the president
mentioned a
number of
new pro-
grams that inevita-CLINTON
bly will cost considerable sums of
money," Michel said. “Laudable as
they may be, how do we pay for
them? The president‘s answer is:
More taxes on everyone."

Clinton’s Cabinet looked on as he
spoke, as well as his wife, Hillary
Rodharn Clinton, and his mother,
Virginia Kelley.

(‘linton‘s plan would spread pain
almost universally, although well-
to-do people would be hit hardest.

'lhe program would impose high-
er energy taxes on every household
with income of more than $30,000.
The administration calculated that
would raise $71.4 billion by 1998.

'Ihe tax would start next July
with a levy of 2.5 cents a gallon for
gasoline. 2.75 cents per gallon of
heating oil, and 8.75 cents per thou-
sand cubic feet of natural gas. It
would increase over three years to
triple those original figures.

Incotne tax rates would jump sig-
nificantly —- from 31 percent now
to 36 percent next year — for fami-
lies with taxable income over
$140,000 and for individuals with
income over $115,000. Clinton said
that would affect only 1.2 percent
of taxpayers. A 10 percent sunax
that Clinton had promised to im-
pose on millionaires would be ap-
plied to taxable income over
$250,000.

A pay freeze would be put on the
three million federal workers for a
year; after that they would be al-
lowed increases less than the rate of
inflation.

 

 

Plan risky
approach
to revival

ANALYSIS

 

 

 

By Tom Raum
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Presi-
dent Clinton‘s plan to tax
Americans into prosperity ad-
vances the largest-ever assault
on the mushrooming budget
deficit. But it's a risky strategy
for encouraging economic revi-
val and creating new jobs.

Can such austerity really go
hand in hand with boosting ec-
onomic growth? The answer is
a resounding —— maybe.

In proposing more spending
for public works projects and
for other pet Democratic pro-
grams while also proposing
one of the largest tax increases
in history, Clinton may have
promised more than he can de-
liver.

And he threw himself open
to Republican criticism that his
program was biased in favor of
taxing and spending.

“This economic plan can‘t
please everybody. If the pack-
age is picked apart, there‘ll be
something that will anger each
of us," Clinton said last night
as he announced his program to
a joint House-Senate session.
“But, if it is taken as a whole, it
will help all of us."

But it was being picked apart
by Republicans and many
economists even as the ink was
barely dry.

“Huge tax increases will

SGA Senate to consider funding of anti-abortion group

 

By Joe Braun
Editorial Editor

 

The controversial issue of abor-
tion will find its way onto the Stu-
dent Government Association Sen-
ate floor Wednesday night.

A bill co-sponsored by UK Right
To Life President Jeffery King and
Senator at Large Heather Hennel

was passed favorably to the floor
during senate committee meetings

last night.

King’s bill asks the senate for an
allocation of $393.99 to be used for
the printing of his organization’s
newsletters and to pay for copies
and newspaper advertisements.

King said the UK Right to Life
chapter has 150 members on its ros-
ter.

The request was presented to the
senate Campus Relations Commit-

tee. Debate on the bill was
squelched when Human and Envi-
ronmental Sciences Senator Derek
Gwinn amended King’s request to
include a disclaimer stating SGA‘s
neutrality on the issue of abortion.

The disclaimer that will appear at
the end of the bill states “this bill
does not necessarily represent the
position of UK SGA or that of its

Festival offers UK
sample of diversity

 

By Tammy Gay
Senior Staff Writer

 

Smells of international foods and
sounds of the UK Steel Drum En-
semble overpowered the Student
Center Ballroom yesterday during a
festival celebrating diversity.

This fifth annual event, called
“Celebrating Diversity: A Festival
of Life," is aimed at increasing stu-
dent awareness of different cul-
tures. said Terry Allen, chairman of
the Cultural Diversity Programs
Committee and UK's director of af-
fumative action.

Allen said the committee also has
tried to accommodate the Lexing-
ton community along with UK stu-
dents.

The event, which continues to-
day, includes entertainment and
food from different cultures. To-
day‘s activities will start in Wors-
harn Theater with a program for
middle school students from Bour-
bon, Clark and Fayette counties.

Entertainment, including intema-
tional dancing and a magic and
marionette musical review, will be
provided from 11:15 am. to 2 pm.
in the Student Center Ballroom.

Between 11 am. and 2 pm,
students may buy 25-cent tickets
with their meal cards at the ball-
room doors and try different
foods, including baklava and egg
rolls.

Student also may view exhibits
from different UK and communi—
ty organizations in the ballroom
between 11 am. and 3 pm.

Sharyn Sharer, program coor-
dinator for the Central Kentucky
Jewish Foundation. said she is
“thrilled" that she gets to tell
people at the festival about her
culture and learn about others all
at the same time.

Tim Struttrnann said he hopes
his exhibit will inform people
about the Buddhist Studies
Group that just formed this se-
mester at UK.

An evening of student enter-
tainment will end the event at
Memorial Hall tonight at 7. The
show, which costs $3 in advance
at 202 Bradley Hall and $4 at the
door. will include singing and
dancing representative of differ-
ent cultures.

members."

Asked whether he believed pas-
sage of the bill would reflect SGA‘s
position on abortion, King said,
“not in a million years."

King said he hopes the money
can be used to “show students
we‘re here (at UK) and then give
them the opportunity to decide if
they like our cause.“

“The main idea was to raise some
money for needs of international

The idea has gone far beyond just

Has all the senumentalism of Val-
entine‘s Day been sickening? The
Phoenix Group Theatre production
of “A Delicate Balance" is the per-
tect medicine.

Edward Albee's Pulitzer Prize-
winning play deals with the “sour—
tng .stde of love" tutd is devoid of
any romance whatsoever.

The main characters. Agnes
(Becky Smith) and Tobias (Roger
lee Leasor). are an upper—class
couple struggling with their trou-
bled marriage.

In one weekend. they entertain
several unwelcome house guests, in-
cluding their spoiled daughter Julia
t'l‘ara Bellando), who is going
through her fourth divorce, and
Agnes‘ obnoxious alcoholic sister
t‘laire (Gina Scott-Lynaugh). Harry
tPaul Thomas) and Edna
tGeorgeanne Duncan) are family
friends who also decide to drop in
for the weekend.

The interactions between the
characters clearly illustrate the
problems possible in modern rela-
tionships. but none of the characters

generates enough sympathy to

make the audience really care about
what happens to them.

(3

Two and a half hours of watching
unpleasant people being unpleasant
to each other gets a bit tedious. The
only humor provided is a snide
British cynicism about how each
character is so petty and pathetic.

All the actors and actresses are
very capable and make the best of
the weak material. Scott-Lynaugh.
co—manager of Lynagh‘s Irish Pub
and Grill. has an especially good
time with her role as the intoxicated
Claire.

Unfortunately, “A Delicate Bal-
ance" also is hampered by stilted
dialogue. Albee fails to capture the
delicate natural cadences of human
speech: instead the dialogue is stiff
and awkward.

Agnes says. “We become alle-
gorical. my darling Tobias. as we
grow older. The individuality we
hold so dearly sinks into crotchet:
we see ourselves repeated by those

 

we bring ittto it all, either by mirror
or rejection, honor or fault.“

Perhaps these lines would work
in a poem or novel, but they seem
unnatural when spoken aloud in a
supposedly spontaneous conversa-
ltoll.

Director Joe Ferrell said that “A
Delicate Balance" is aimed toward
a middle-aged audience because it
deals with the disappointments of
life that young people have not yet
experienced.

Ferrell mentioned that the work is
one of his personal favorites and
praised it as a “remarkably power-
ful play." He said that Albee makes
people question their lives —— “Who
are we? What are our responsibili-
ties in life?"

Perhaps “A Delicate Balance"
will improve with age, but for col-
lege-age students, it does not offer
much except an antidote to Valen-
tine‘s Day.

"A Delicate Balance” is playing
February 19. 20, 26, and 27 at 8
pm. at the Lexington Central Li'-
brary Theater. Tickets are $8 and
are available at the door or by call-
tng 254-6288.

FACT: Today abortion is a safe,
simple procedure.

At EMW Women's Clinic we know that one of your
primary concerns with having an abortion is safety.

That’s why we wanted you to know that a first trimester
abortion is one of the safest surgical procedures performed
in America today. As safe as a penicillin shot. Safer than a
tonsillectomy. And four times safer than childbirth

And because the decision to have an abortion is never
an easy one, EMW has specially trained staff to discuss
alternatives and offer support and reassurance without
pressure. Abortion and other women’s services are
performed by physicians in EMW‘s safe and private clinic.

Family harmonies fill duet recording

Tim and Mollie O‘Brien
Remember Me
Sugar Hill Records

 

By Dave Lavender
Arts Editor

 

When I think of brother and sis-
ter duos, I can't help btit think of
Donrty and Marie Osmond all
dolled up. hugging and singing
“Paper Roses."

That image alone is enough to
make anyone lose lunch or sanity
— a both. So it is with an utter dis-
dain for brother-sister groups that I
listmed to Tim arid Mollie
O'Brieu's album of duets Remem-
bche.

Tim is the former lead singer of
Hot Rize aid the winner of the in
die labels' country album of the
year in 1992 with Odd Man In.
Hue he again shows the dizzying
diversity be displayed on his
award-winning solo debut.

O'Brien and his sis wade through
a river of finger—picked blues. jazz,
bluegrass. folk, country, vocal jazz
and old-time fiddle-driven songs on
this beautiful l3-track album

It is not just the right blend of
music from a man who always is
“unplugged," but it also is the long,
winding road of lyrics that make
this album an indie-label treasure.

No “Paper Roses" rot here. Re-
member Me mixes black folk songs

with strict bhiegrass and throws in
a Bob Dylan song to boot (not ex-
actly major-label fare).

The O'Briens lend an a cappella
rendering to “Shut De Do." Tim
grabs his fiddle and gets clawham-
mer banjo assistance from John
Nielson on “Stagger Lee.“ reunit-
ing the tune with the ["11un min-
strel folk feel from whence it was

passed down.

The siblings have incredibly rn~
terwoven harmonies that are best
shown on the title track, a flowing
love ballad.

Like O'Brien's past acoustic
works, this record is simple. clean
andpareddowntoapointofbril-

liance. This is outright refreshin' g a
a time when overdubs and stick pro-
duction suck the life out of my
major-label recordings.

Monic. who fronts The Blue Tips,
3 jazz, blues and torch group. adds
paralyzing harmony on the opening
track “locking for the Stone," m a
cappella tune written by bluegrass
legend Ralph Stanley and the late
Elliott Co., Ky., native Keith Whit-
ley (who was in Stanley's Clinch
Mountain Boys band as a teenager).

Aided only by Mark Graham's
harmonica, the two get the stone
rolling With a choppy lyrical punch
that segues nicely into the Rev.
Gary Davis’ acoustic jazz number
"Ill Had my Wu) "

Although the O‘Briens are not the
best vocal jazz artists. they do a
nice working of “’I‘hat's the Way to
Treat Your Woman." and they shine
well enough throughout that you
will remember them.
