Gorbachev asks for approval of economy reform program
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev said yesterday that a plan for converting the Soviet Union to a market economy had been submitted by the government and the parliaments of the 15 republics.
Gorbachev, saying the entire country should be involved in this "difficult choice," for the first time was seeking nationwide approval — via the elected parliaments — of a policy that previously was determined by the Communist regime's central government.
Supreme Court nominee faces Senate Judiciary Committee
In an interview with the evening television news program "Vremya," Gorbachev confirmed that the plan he endorsed and submitted to the national and republic parliaments was based on a radical proposal by economist Stanislav Shatalin.
After weeks of researching the opinions of David Souter, the Senate confronts the Supreme Court nominee himself today to fill in a portrait that is little more than an outline.
The confirmation process facing Souter fits the legal definition of discovery：“the disclosure or coming to light of what was previously hidden.” What has been hidden is not the facts about Souter's life but his judicial philosophy. On the eve of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, a host of special interest groups and experts were gathering at The White House to know about Souter. Meanwhile, the nominee had lunch at the White House with President Bush and declined to take any questions.

Bush records speech for broadcast in Iraq
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush videotaped a message yesterday telling the Iraqi people he has "no quarrel" with them and that they should be allowed to move to Syria under their own government, a White House official said.
On the eight-minute tape, which will be broadcast unedited in Iraq, Bush says the U.S. military is in the Persian Gulf only to defend Saudi Arabia from Iraq aggression.
"We want a peaceful resolution. We want peaceful coexistence with the people of Iraq." Bush says on the tape, according to White House spokesperson Martin Flinwater.
The White House did not release a transcript, but Fitzwater gave an overview of Bush's comments.
The president's address was intended to create internal problems for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein by emphasizing Iraq's isolation in the world community as a result of the invasion of Kuwait. Bush has said previously he would not be unhappy if the people of Iraq removed Saddam from power, and the address stressed that Iraqis are naving a heavy price for his actions.
The president consulted with Arab specialists and met twice with State Department and National Security Council officials to come up with the wording, Fitzwater said.
The Arab specialists were asked to look at the wording 'to make sure that the tone of it translates' and try to find the corresponding Arabic.
"You can write a speech that sounds perfectly good to Western ears," but it might not convey the same feeling.
Fitzwater said the message was "a very candidate but personal description of our goals and our priorities," he wrote.
The White House media staff worked yesterday on adding Arab subtitles and audio translation to the tape before sending it to the Iraqi ambassador via Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger.
"The president was forthright and didn't stage anything, just gave a direct message," said Sig Rogich. Bush's assistant for media consultation who produced the tape for the president.
The Voice of America said it was doing the translating before the tape was handled over "to ensure the accuracy of the information."
Fitzwater said although there had been no direct contact between the two governments regarding the videotape, "we expect that Iraq will honor its invitation to allow this to be addressed to the Iraqi people, and we will ask them to provide us an air time within the next five days."
Fitwater said he anticipated broad international interest in Bush's message

Series emphasizes variety and appeal in choosing plays

The KU University Theatre Series this semester will offer students comedy, drama and a musical to see in its five scheduled productions.
"It's a long, complicated process," Urnuth said. "We look for shows that will fill the needs of the performers that we have, and the designers that we have, and that we can sell to the audience. We want good challenging scripts that will appeal to intelligent people."
Professor Delbert Urunch, chairperson of the play selection committee, said his group spent about nine months debating which plays to stage. The committee considered 50 or 60 scripts.
The series includes productions by University Theatre, the Inge Theatre and the KU Theatre for Young People.
The play is based on the work and early life of surrealist painter Rene Magritte, and explores his childhood dream of becoming a painter.
**Sept. 29:** "This is Not a Pipe Dream" will be the first play staged in the fall semester. It will be the only performance newly removed by KTV Theatre for Young People.
■ Sept. 12-14, 18-2: "On the Verge" is the first production of University Theatre. Also titled "The Geography of Yearning," the play follows the comic adventures of three Victorian women who fall through a time warp, wading up in mid-America, 1955.
■ Sept. 23-28: "Thunder Rock" will begin the Inge Theatre Series. The play is a drama that explores the relationship between the in face of overwhelming odds.

"The play wasn't just selected because of the all-female cast," Urnah said. "It presents some inter- ideas about the abuse of women."

Summer for George Winston will not end until October.
Although summer ends Sept. 21, the pianist will continue to perform his "summer show," until well into November, when one of Winston's promoters.
wist. But KU students will be able to see Winston while temperatures are still hissing the upper 80s and it is indisputably summer. Winston will make his first appearance in Lawrence when he performs his show summer at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Ibco Auditorium.
The summer show is lighter in tone than the winter show, which features Christmas and Thanksgiving songs.
Pianist George Winston will perform Wednesday at Hoch.
Tickets for Winston's performance are on sale at the Student Union Activities office in the Kansas Union. Joseph Jennings of SUA estimated that more than 1,000 tickets already had been sold.

"The music itself is different only in the mood," Brattan said. Beyond that, it seems to be difficult to classify Winston.
"He's huge right now," Galley said. "He's kind of a quasi-new艺人, jazzy musician. It's perfect voice music."
Christopher Hepp, assistant professor of piano, said "It's probably what in English literature would be called stream of consciousness.
Dan Galley, director of jazz studies, said Winston's style of music was a moody and reflective vein of new age that had become influential for many artists, especially on the East Coast.
It's very improvisational."
"Overall, I would not classify it as jazz." Brattan said.
The two styles of music that have been most influential for Winston are New Orleans rhythm and blue jazz, both skiffle key licks. The beatian said.
ruattan said the show was a mixture of Winston's own style of pop instrumental music, a mixture of R&B, rock and blues, as well as "rural folk piano," which is melodic, pastoral and reflective.
