6 Friday, November 18, 1988 / University Daily Kansan Rumors abound about Cabinet picks The Associated Press WASHINGTON — When it comes to guessing who's going to be in the new Cabinet, the word from George Bush is not "read my lips" but "stay tuned." He's also sworn his transition staff to secrecy, but that hasn't put a dent in the production of the rumor mills. They keep pouring forth endless lists of Cabinet possibilities, fed by what seems like every Republican politician in America, plus assorted Democrat credentials, self-promoters and other Washington idlers. George Bush's all-purpose answer to the speculation is "stay tuned." That's what he said yesterday, just a few hours before he introduced New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu as White House chief of staff and announced that campaign funds would be used by chairman of the Republican National Committee. Two Cabinet seats — the secretaries of state and treasury — already have been taken by James A. Baker III and Nicholas Brady, leaving the presidecant with a dozen other department heads to name. Here is a look at some of the names that have bubbled to the surface of these rumor rivulets. Frank Carlucci is the incumbent. Unlike some of his Cabinet brethren, he has not been lobbying to stay on. Expressing an eagerness to return to the private sector, he is likely to get his wish. Former Texas Sen. John Tower is at the top of most lists of possible defense secretaries, unless Bush opts for a corporate chieftain to straighten out the Pentagon procurement mess. Then the talk turns to folks such as Paul H. O'Neill, chairman of the Aluminum Co. of America, or former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumpel. Former Rep Jack Edwards, R-Ala., is a dark horse, along with retired Air Force Lt. Gen Brent Scroeworth. JUSTICE Attorney General Dick Thornburgh was one of the late additions to the Reagan Cabinet, replacing Edwin Meese III three months ago, and the former Pennsylvania governor is eager to stay on. Bush insiders have sent mixed signals on Thornburgh's Cabinet life expectancy. Last week, they went out of their way to discourage reports that he was a shoo-in. Some names tossed as possible replacements are William D. Ruckelshaus, a former deputy attorney general and Environmental Prosecutor, the administrator, and Illinois Gov. James R. Thompson. INTERIOR Secretary Don Hodel, one of the few Reagan Cabinet members to serve the full second term, is certain to go. Sen. Dan Evans, R-Wash., who decided not to seek re-election, is a favorite in the rumor mills for Interior. AGRICULTURE Other possibilities include Nat Reed, a former assistant Interior secretary, and Rep. Manuel Luian. R-N.M. Secretary Richard E. Lyng will be packing his bags after 2% years. U. S. Trade Representative Clayton K. Yeutter is on everybody's list, although he has talked about hankering for the private sector. Yeutter, regarded as having done ably in his current job, is a former Nebraska feedlot operator and head of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Secretary Ann Dore McLaughlin campaigned hard for Bush but is unlikely to retain the job she got just 11 months ago. Rep. Thomas J. Ridge, R-Pa., a moderate from a blue-collar district in western Pennsylvania who has tried to forge GOP ties to organized labor, is preparing to run for re-election, with helped Bush carry the Keystone state. Constance J. Horner, Reagan's Office of Personnel Management director, is said to covet the Labor seat, although shaky relations with government unions' workers could undermine her chances. U.S. Bishops close controversial annual meeting The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The head of America's Roman Catholic bishops declared, "We are in a most serene time," even though they had just ended a week that included open dispute over their singing at the government. Archibishop John L. May of St. Louis was referring in particular on Thursday to the U.S. church's relation with Pope John Paul II and the He pronounced the pope "bullish on the church in the United States" and dismissed public spats with Rome as mere stagnation, a church that is merely open. In fact, he and fellow members of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops seemed little troubled by any of the controversy that swirled about them during their annual meeting that concluded Thursday. During the week, the bishops: ■ Took on the Soviet Union, decrying "sustained and comprehensive" religious persecution in Eastern Europe and encouraging new prospects of better relations as an incentive to win greater religious freedom. ■ Blasted a U.S. immigration law they say leads employers to hiring and firing Hispanics out of ignorance concerning potential penalties. Criticized the Reagan administration for sending out thousands of foreclosure warnings to family farmers a week after the prize, and just before the holiday season. ■ On their own turf, accepted but only grudgingly a Vatican intervention that kept them from voting on the resolution they had with theologians resolving disputes with the theologians. ■ Approved rules for lay preachers that either, according to which bishop you asked, made it easier for lay men and women to preach during masses or took one more slap at Catholic women by reiterating that they may not give the main sermon interpreting the gospel. ■ Finally, sent back a Vatican draft document as "unsuitable as a basis for discussion," thus rejecting both the scholarship of the draft ar- its contention that national bishops conferences have no real authority in the church. May had started the week by congratulating President-elect George Bush but then in the next breath assuring him the bishops would continue to speak out on public issues and not "only in praise and appreciation." "We are sometimes criticized for being too concerned about the world, of pursuing an agenda that in the minds of some critics is secular, leftist or in some way 'ideological', to whom we expect the pope's own example showed it is not possible to have "too much social consciousness." Trade accord with U.S. tests Canadian campaign The Associated Press MONTEREAL - Prime Minister Brian Muroney desperately needs to sweep his native province of Quebec to win a majority government. He will agree to provide the free trade agreement he signed with President Reagan Pressed hard by opposition allegations that he sold Canada out, Mulroney has promoted the deal as the "passport to prosperity," an "instrument of economic expansion." He tells crowds the choice is a simple, one between "John the Ripper" and "Liberal Party leader Liberator — and" "Brian the Builder." Mulroney strives to portray Turner as an anti-American who opposes progress, and points to the prosperity of his four years in "The cause of my life is to build a nation," he says. Ed Broadbent, leader of the socialist New Democratic Party, said Reagan's remarks yesterday about burying theade agreement but bury Mulligan. "It will remind every Canadian how close Brian Mulroney is to Ronald Reagan," said Broadbent, whose party is expected t finish third. "It will remind every Canadian the Americans got virtually everything they wanted in this deal." Reagan said in a speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, "As far as the United States is concerned, the Free Trade Agreement is an example of cooperation at its best. It is a testament to the commitment of our two governments to the principles of the open market and to economic cooperation." Opponents of the agreement had said the Reagan speech could be interpreted as interference in Canadian affairs. Muironey's Progressive Conservative Party must win 148 of the 295 seats to ensure the agreement takes effect Jan. 1, eliminating power from the world's two largest trading partners over a 3-year period. It has been approved by Congress but has yet to be considered by Parliament. Quebec has 75 seats in the House of Commons, second only as a bloc to the 99 seats of Ontario, where opposition is stronger. The free trade debate has dominated the campaign since Mulroney dissolved Parliament on Oct. 1. At the time, he appeared headed for an easy victory. The Liberals, long a dominant force in Canadian politics, had sagged in what seemed to be a battle with the New Democrats for runner-up status. But in a matter of weeks, Turner's persistent attacks on the free trade agreement as a threat to Canadian sovereignty and identity have revived his chances. Polls indicate that more Canadians oppose the agreement than support it. The polls also put the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives in a dead heat. Support for free trade has been strongest in French-speaking Quebec, but Turner has by no means conceded the province. The opposition leader was in Montreal on Wednesday night and charged that the prime minister was willing to sacrifice textile workers, food workers and farmers "the alien of free trade." The prime minister will spend the weekend on a final campaign swing through Quebec. "I just ran 21 miles in 2 hours" That's about how many miles of newsprint Otto Benson runs through the presses every morning in the process of printing the University Daily Kansan. The press starts running at 7 a.m. But by then the Kansan press operators have been at work for over an hour webbing and plating the press and getting ready to produce some 15,000 newspapers. Once the presses have started rolling, their job has just begun. For two hours they continuously monitor quality, fine tuning the settings on the press so that the reproduction of type and art in your Kansan is clean, crisp and clear. When things are running smoothly, they have time to read the Kansan during the pressrun. When they aren't, they take it home. Otto's job may seem like a lot of ink, paper and black hands to you, but it's a trade to him. He cares about his trade. He cares about the Kansan. And most of all, he cares about doing a good job for you. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Nobody else speaks your language. WordPerfect Connecting Point.
