Reagan agrees to tax talks to reduce deficit
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Reagan said yesterday that he was willing to talk with congressional leaders about a tax increase to help reduce the federal deficit and declared that he saw no indicators of a recession ahead, despite the battered stock market.
At his first White House news conference in seven months, Reagan said he believed Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev would visually demonstrate the ground-breaking nuclear arms reduction treaty. But he said he had
no firm word from Secretary of State George Shultz in Moscow that the meeting would take place.
Asked if he intended to make an announcement today of a summit date, Reagan said, "I have no way of knowing that."
The president also defended the United States' naval presence in the Persian Gulf, saying, "I can't tell you how long" the fleet will remain. "We are not there to start a war. We are there to protect neutral nations' shipping in international waters," he declared.
Reagan opened the session with a
quip that referred to the long news conference drought. "It just seems like yesterday," he said.
He then provided a progress report on first lady Nancy Reagan, who underwent breast cancer surgery at the White House and to the White House earlier yesterday.
"It sure is good news to have Nancy back home, and she's doing just fine," he said.
The news conference came at a particularly difficult time in Reagan's administration.
In addition to his wife's cancer, the president has gramped with the economic difficulty and a tense situation in the Persian Gistan in recent days, and he is anxiously awaiting word from Shultz on possible progress toward an arms control treaty with the Soviet Union.
Reagan said the stock market might see other volatile days ahead. But he quickly added, "There are no indicators out there of a recession or hard times at all." The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost more tan 77 points in heavy trading on the New York Stock Exchange during the day.
"This is purely a stock market thing," he said.
Asked if he would buy stocks in the current climate, Reagan said, "I can't have any stock that I know anything about." His personal finances are handled through a blind trust, and he receives yearly reports.
Even as he reaffirmed his belief that the economy was strong, the president stressed that he was prepared to meet personally with congressional leaders to seek a deficit reduction plan that would calm the nation and economic leaders of other countries. The meetings are

Woodard has scheduled a press conference for 11 a.m. today at KU.
Former Kansas All-American basketball player Lynette Woodard will not be returning to the Harlem Winter League, the president of the club said yesterday.
Earl Dureya, president and chief executive officer of the Globetrotters, said there had been no negotiations with Woodard since Oct. 5, when the Globetrotters ended their training camp at Paul Smith's, N.Y.
"We did not come to terms, so she will not be with the team," he said.
Dureya said he met with Woodard on Wednesday in his office at the Globetrotters' headquarters in Sherer, California, for no negotiations for a new contract.
"We just talked about things in general," he said. "They were amicable discussions. I asked her what she'd be doing, and she said she would do that." He said something, thing, I said if there is anyway we can be helpful just let us know."
Duryea said that if Woodard wanted to try out for the team next year, she would be welcome at the
next Globetrotters' preseason training camp.
Woodard signed a two-year contract in October 1985 and became the first woman to play with the Globetrotters. In December 1986, Jackie White became the second woman signed by the Globetrotters.
Duryea said White left the team after its summer tour of South America and Snain.
Woodard was a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic women's basketball team and captain of the 1844 gold medal game. In 1976, the Olympic women's basketball team.
At Kansas, Woodard was a four-time Kodak All-America selection and won the Wade Trophy in 1981, given each season to the best player in women's basketball. She is the all-time leading scorer for the Kansas women's basketball team with 3,649 points.
Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington could not be reached for comment concerning Woodard's career plans.
Woodard will hold the press conference in the film room of Parrott Athletic Center, said Jeff Cravens, an athletic sports information director.

KU-NEA to decide whether to file complaint on possible violation
The KU chapter of the National Education Association plans to announce today whether it will file a complaint for a possible violation of a state labor law by a KU official.
By NOEL GERDES
Tom Madden, organizing coordinator for KU-NEA, said Tuesday that Judith Ramaley, KU executive vice chancellor, may have violated the Kansas Public Employer-Employee Relations Act because of comments about faculty unions published in the Oct. 9 issue of The Oread.
Ramaley said Tuesday that The bread quoted her correctly and that the recipe was correct.

Madden said that Ramaley's comments may have violated a section of the law that prohibited employers from interfering, restraining or coercing public employees in the exercise of rights to form a faculty union.
The Oread is a weekly employee published by University Religion
Ramaley was quoted in The Oread as saying, "I don't think unionization will improve the financial condition of the faculty, which I gather is a primary concern of the organizers, or attract favorable attention to the campus. Unionization doesn't create new dollars for salaries or force legislatures to appropriate more dollars."
Madden said state NEA attorneys would recommend today whether to file a complaint with the state Public Employee Relations Board.

In those cases, the employee relations board sometimes decides to hold a second election, he said.
A complaint must be filed within 180 days of the possible violation.
Dickhoff said that if the employee relations board determined that a KU official had violated a labor law, the board would not have the authority to impose a fine or punish the official for the violation. The board would act only to resolve the relations problem, he said.
KU faculty will vote Nov. 17 and 18 whether to form a union represented by KU-NEA, a union represented by the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors or vote not to form a union. If no such convention votes, KU faculty will vote again between the two highest vote-getters.
NCAA upholds player's eligibility
By MIKE CONSIDINE Staff writer

The National Collegiate Athletic Association uphold an appeal by the KU Athletic Department on Wednesday, July 15, after a losing year of athletic eligibility.
The appeal was filed by Gary Hunter, associate athletic director, after Young was found in possession of the NCAA's findings Wednesday.
"It was a non-qualifier problem," said Janet Lacton, NCAA assistant director of enforcement. "As long as the team will have two seasons of eligibility."
Young, a transfer from Dodge City Community College, was seven credit hours short of the 48 hours required of junior college transfers. He was an athletic scholarship payments, he was in violation of NCAA standards governing ineligible athletes and would have lost a year of eligibility.
Because Young had not practiced or competed, Justice said that NCAA assistant executive director Steve Morgan was able to make an immediate determination Monday morning.
Joe Young
'I'm just a spectator now. I never thought that would ever happen to me in school. But I will be attending all of the games and cheering.'
Chicago sophomore
Young said he was happy with the decision.
"Joe didn't do anything wrong, the school did," said C.R. Buford, assistant basketball coach. "I didn't expect the NCAA to rule harshly against Joe, because it wasn't his fault."
Basketball coach Larry Brown said said it would have been impossible for Young, a communications specialist, to graduation requirements in two years.
"Now Joe has a year to mature."
"I've been less pressure on him academically."
He said that his friends were surprised that he didn't seem upset about the possibility of losing a year of competition.
"I was really looking forward to playing with Danny," he said. "When they told me I was ineligible, it came as a very big shock."
"I guess people were expecting me to have a lot of grief," Young said.
"But you've got to look forward, you can't look back."
"I'm just a spectator now." Young said. "I never thought that would ever happen to me in school. But I will be attending all of the games and cheering just like everybody else does."
NCAA rule require that ineligible athletes forfeit their athletic scholarships. Young, therefore, had to apply for financial aid to remain in school.
"We have to find out how much they can give him," Brown said. Oliga Evelyn, administrative assistant and team leader, was on task, he said.
Young said he didn't consider transferring to another school when he learned he could be eligible for college. He said he knew he had admitted to KI.
"I think if I had transferred, I'd still have to sit out a year."
Young, averaged 16 points and nine rebounds a game last year, is restricted from practicing or traveling with the team.
