King Day observance growing ... > + _ ■ ■ A 1 LAN 1 A (Ai'J — 1 ms mum annual holiday honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. still finds sup porters of the observance struggling to win credibility for King Day. All 50 states are observing the holiday Monday. But most compa nies do not give workers the day off. Supporters say part of the reason is the holiday isperceived as aday for blacks. “That’s a perception we need to change,” said Alan Minton, director of the Martin Luther King Federal Commission in Atlanta, which was created to encourage observance of the day. “There’s no need for the federal government, the state govern ment and corporations to give off a day if it just belongs tojust one group.” “The white community has not embraced the hoi iday as much as they possibly could, but they certainly arc embracing it more and more,” he said. A survey in 1990 found that only 18 percent of Fortune 500 companies observed King Day. That number is slowly increasing, Minton said. A spot check of several corpora tions found that General Motors and Atlanta-based Coca-Cola observe the holiday,while IBM, AT&T andTurn er Broadcasting System allow work ers to take the day oif as a personal holiday. “Just as we think Loiumbus Day is an important day and Abraham Lin The white community has not embraced the holiday as much as they possibly could, but they certainly are embracing it more and more. —Minton, director of Martin Luther King Federal Commission coin is an important day, so is Martin Luther King Day,” said Burke Stinson, a spokesmaa for AT&T. “Our em ployees seem to appreciate the option of picking and choosing what holiday of a religious nature or civic nature they may so chose.” Stinson estimated that 10 percent of AT&T’s workforce takes King Day off. “King Day came after all these other days and how many days do you add before you deduct from vacation and sick days?” asked Jon Goodman, director of the Entrepreneur Program at the University of Southern Califor nia School of Business Administra tion and an expert on business practic es. In an attempt to increase the pop ularity of the holiday, supporters are suggesting King Day is a time for community service. King’s widow,Coretta Scott King, says the nation must confront busi nesses that promote violence, ranging from gun makers to video arcades, in order to reduce violent crime. “We must recognize that while violence is ultimately committed by individuals, it is promoted and en couraged by a massive violence in dustry,” Mrs. King wrote in an article published in Sunday’s editions of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Last fall,U.S. Sen. Harris Wofford, D-Pa., and U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D Ga., introduced legislation that would make King Day a day of service. Wofford, a former aide to King who is facing re-election this year, planned to spend Monday visiting community service sites around Penn sylvania, including a soup kitchen, a center for teen-age boys in trouble with the law and a Boys and Girls Club. By linking the holiday with the idea of community service, support ers hope to prevent it from evolving into another day of shopping and sports on television. Saddam may retaliate if sanctions continue NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP)—On the eve of the third anniversary of the start of the Persian Gulf War, Saddam Hussein lashed out at the West Sun day and said he would retaliate for its accessions. The Iraqi leader said in a nationally televised speech that he would not standby in the face of continued inter national sanctions HinMta against mscouniry. “Let these evil people, masters and slaves alike, end their illusions and let them not mis calculate again,” he said, referring to the West and Gulf Arab states who joined the allied fight against Iraq. His remarks apparently sought to shore up his government’s image at home. Iraq is dogged by economic woes stemming from U.N. sanctions imposed after Iraq’s invasion of Ku wait in August 1990. Iraq has been seeking a lifting of the sanctions and has been making moves, such as opening seaways and inaugurating a new petrochemical plant on the main truck route north to Turkey, that would leave the country well-placed if and when the sanctions were lifted. Saddam has proclaimed a “moral victory” in the 1991 war, which ended Iraq’s occupation of Kuwait, an oil rich emirate it invaded in a dispute over oil, money and territory. He made similarly combative re marks last year when he called on Iraqis to “strike back” against the United States, which led the Western allies in war. At that anniversary, Saddam’s com ments came hours after the United States fired U.S. Cruise missiles against an alleged Iraqi nuclear weap ons site and downed an Iraqi war plane. Mexican president offers general amnesty SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mex ico (AP)—President Carlos Salinas dc Gortari stepped up pressure Sunday on rebels in south ern Mexico, unveiling a promised amnesty but only for those who stop fighting immediately. It was the president’s latest move to end the rebellion that started New Year’s Day in Chiapas, the country’s poorest state. In his address, Salinas said the amnesty covers all participants in violence from Jan. 1 through Sunday. “Any criminal action against the people or against the Mexican army after this period will not have the benefit of amnesty,” the president said. An estimated 1,000 to 2,000 Zapatista fight crs - including many Indians - seized San Cristobal and several outlying towns in Chiapas on New Year’s Day to highl ight the pi ight of the poor in Chiapas. The government says 107 people died in the fighting, which slowed down in early January after a military assault led by 14,000 troops forced the rebels back into the mountains and jungles of Chiapas. The guerrillas began their rebellion the day the North American Free Trade Agreement between Mexico, Canada and the United States took effect. They said the pact sounded a “death knell’ for Indian peasants and other poor in this coun try of 84 million who remain untouched by Salinas’ free-market reforms. Three newborns named after Husker player CULUMHUMAI') — AtriOOI i revs' YOU can almost hear Florida State quarterback Charlie Ward wincing. But it’s true. Columbus newborns Trcv Allen Muth.Trev Michael Rawhouser and Trev Eugene Ziemba all have Nebraska outside linebacker Trev Alberts to thank for their names. T rev Allen, son of Lynn and Gary Muth, was bom Dec. 16. Trev Michael, son of Mike and Lisa Rawhouser, was bom Dec. 28. Trev Eu gene, son of Cliff and Jamie Ziemba, joined the lineup on Jan. 6. Jenice Harsh, a medical records clerk at Columbus Community Hospital, started asking questions after she noticed an abundance of newborn Trevs. “I asked them, ‘Were any of you naming your kids after Trev Alberts?*” she said. “They said, ‘Yeah, kind of.”* Lisa Rawhouser, a teacher in Platte Center, was imprcsscu mai /\ioens auenucu grauuaic school while continuing to play football. “If he wasn’t so neat, I wouldn’t have named (Trcv Michael) that," she said. “He is a real positive role model.” Alberts was awarded this year’s Butkus Award as the nation ’ s top collegiate 1 incbacker. The Ziembas’ other son, Derek, is named after former Husker running back Derek Brown, now of the New Orleans Saints. And the namesake? “It makes me feel good,” Alberts said. “You get a certain amount of satisfaction out of awards you get, but it’s the little things, like being viewed as a role model. “This gives me a real responsibility to carry it out, to be a role model.” Gary Muth and CliffZiemba hope their sons enjoy the same success in athletics as Alberts has. Muth has one caveat. His son must play only for the Huskers.
