November’s state and local elections are heating
up the political scene off campus, and next week, in
an attempt to strengthen the student voice, members
of the Student Government Association plan to “Get
Out the Vote” on campus.

“Our generation is highly visible to legislators,”
said Alison Crabtree, chairwoman of SGA’s Com-
mittee on Governmental Affairs. “They notice that
students are involved.”

Crabtree, a political science junior, said students
who don’t vote should be aware that their votes mat-
ter.

Crabtree recalled that when she was a student in
Decatur, Ga., a campus organization was instrumen-
tal in the defeat of an incumbent running for re-elec-
tion to the U.S. Senate.

plans to ‘Get Out the llote'

The students successful] campaigned and voted

a ainst the senator, she said): after his refusal to take
e students seriously.

“If our eneration gets together on issues, we can
make a difference,” Crabtree said. “Students live in
the campus area at least nine months out of the year.
It seems to me they would have an interest in what’s
goin on here.”

“We are lookin for volunteers,” SGA President
T. A. Jones said. “ ur goal is to register as many vot-
ers as we can. It doesn’t matter if the register
Democrat or Republican, just as long as they regis—
ter.”

Because of the need for volunteers, the schedule is
not complete for the time and location of all booths.
Any organizations or students that wish to volunteer
for a booth may contact Jones or Crabtree at the
SGA office, 120 Student Center.

Booths will be located at the Kirwan-Blanding

Complex Commons, Margaret I. King Library, Stu-
dent Center and various colleges around campus.
Plans also include a booth at Lexington Community
Colle e.

A] ough the effort will last Monday through Fri-
day, the final legal date for registration for this fall’s
election is Oct. 11. Crabtree said any students who
fail to re 'ster during the drive may to stop by or call
her at S A office at 257-3191.

“I’ll see to it that they get a (registration) card if I
have to come to their house and register them,” she
said.

UK NOW and the Sierra Club are just two of the
campus or anizations that have volunteered to help
out at boot 5 for the drive, but SGA welcomes assis—
tance from any other students or campus organiza-
tions.

The SGA also hopes to provide help for students
filing absentee ballots, Crabtree said.

Time is running out for freshmen who want to
apply for the four positions available on UK’s Student
Government Association Senate.

The deadline to apply for the remaining positions
is 5 pm. Tuesday. Applications may be picked up in
the SGA office, 120 Student Center, or from senators
who are carrying them around campus.

Amelia Perkins, chairwoman of the elections board
of supervisions, said SGA has made sure there has
been publicity about the elections.

“Advertisements have been run in the (Kentucky)
Kernel, and posters are being hung everywhere,”
Perkins said, “We’re t 'ng to get the PR out there
and let freshmen know a out Senate.”

Senator at Lar e Alan Aja, who has been helping
wit advertising the elections, said so
far only seven people have applied.

, “We are looking to have more peo-
i“ le ap ly this year, and freshmen still
. ’ f have p enty of time to do so,” Aja said.
’L ‘3 ‘ Aja said the responsibility of fresh-
__ man Senate members is a large one.

“Not only do these four freshmen
Aja have Senate responsibility, they are also

automatically on the Freshman Repre-
sentative Council,” Aja said.

Applicants are re uired to attend a candidate’s
meetin that will be eld at 6 pm. Thursday in the
SGA o ce.

“If students don’t attend this meeting, then they
can’t run because they have to have this set of rules
and re lations,” Perkins said.

Per 'ns said she is requiring the meeting because
she wants to deliver the rules to everyone personally.

The freshman elections will be held under the same
rules and re lations as regular SGA spring elections.

The app icants may begin campaigning on Oct. 2,
which gives them three days to find votes before the
elections on Oct. 5 and 6. Polls will be set up at Mar-
garet I. Kin Library, Donovan Hall, Lexington
Community ollege and the Student Center.

Perkins said because the freshman elections won’t
be done by voting machines, the ballots must be
counted by hand.

“Since we are counting the ballots by hand, we are
holding off on announcing the winners just so we
don’t fall behind," Perkins said. .

The official announcements of the winners won’t
be until Oct. 7 at 1:30 pm. in the Old Student Center
Theater.

Weekend lit lor lamily lun

By Stephen Trimhla
Executive Editor

They were the generation
with the Baby Boomers title,
Woodstock’s glory, moon land-
ings and free love.

Most of their children at UK
are the generation with the ‘X’
label, Woodstock’s corporate-
celebrated anniversary and safe
sex.

Yet somehow, today and
tomorrow, various campus orga-
nizations are going to attempt a
blendin of the two eras as F am-
ily Wee nd falls on cam us.

“I do it as an excuse or par-
ents to take time and s end it
with their kids,” said 5 annon
Hartman, chairman of the Stu-
dent Activities Board weekend
planning committee and a pub-
ic relations senior.

SAB’s theme for the weekend
is aptly titled “Talkin’ ’bout My
Generation.”

“We tried to plan the week-
end where it’s acked with
activities,” saidp Christen
McDonough, SAB’s public rela-
tions director.

In contrast with ast years
that SAB has operatetf, the event,
several activities will be offered
at all times tomorrow for fami-
lies to pick and choose where

want to be.

cDonough could not
remember how long the week-
end eventa have been held at
UK, but she said they have
existed for at least seven years.

Activities will commence
tonight with a Welcome Recep-
tion and concert in the Small
Ballroom of the Student Center.
Refreshments and desserts are
being donated by several restau-

I

rants in Lexington.

The free event already has
drawn 100 reservations from
parents, said McDonou h, an
advertising and public re ations
semor.

Tomorrow, the Big Blue Pic-
nic —— SAB’s lar est event of the
weekend —— is sIated for 4 pm.
at Seaton Field. The genera-
n'onal barriers should be blend-
ed by a bit of opular nostalgia
coming from the tunes of 1964,
a Beatles tribute band.

Hartman said the four mem-
bers not only sing and sound

like the British invaders, but
they also look exactly like them
— complete to their bowl hair—
cuts.

“It will mean something to
the parents,” McDonough said.
“It brings them back to their
glory days by putting them

ack in their students’ shoes.”

The weekend events also give
students an “out,” she said, to
spend time with their parents,
instead of doing the usual “col-

lege things.”

‘Blue Picnic’ resumes

By Kathy Bauellamp
Contributing Writer

UK’s Family Weekend
will witness the return of the
“Bi Blue Picnic” this year.

The event has been can-
celled the ast two years
because of the absence of a
home football me during
Family Weekend? The picnic
will be held on Saturday from
4 to 7 pm. at Seaton Field.

The picnic, as well as the
rear of family weekend, is
sponsored by UK’s Student
Activities Board.

In the way of entertain-
ment, the band 1964 - a trib-
ute to the Beatles — is slated
to perform at the picnic. The
nationally recognized band
has performed to UK audi-
ences previously.

Anne Ballast, assistant
director of SAB, said the
band played fire last time the

Big Blue Picnic was held. She
described the rou as a
“Beatles tribute” an .

She said the members look
and act like the original band.
Their song list included all
Beatles’ tunes. Ballast said
the band was well received
when it was last at UK
because it appealed to all age

groups.

Shannon Harton, SAB’s
Family Weekend chairwom-
an, said this year’s icnic
menu will include bar cue
pork and grilled chicken
sandwiches as well as tradi-
tional icnic vegetables.

Al ough the deadline for
ticket bases for the event
passe Sept. 15, only 300 of
the 550 available tickets have
been sold, which means plen-
ty should be available for
walk-up purchase. Harton
said.

PORT—AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The United
States muscled toward total military control of
Haiti yesterda , breaking up its heavy weapons,
guarding pro- emocracy activists and giving U.S.
troops more leewa to use force.

In a methodica effort to unravel the 1991 coup
that overthrew elected President Jean-Bertrand
Aristide, American forces also planned to move
into the countryside and take over the training of
rural police forces notorious for their harsh repres-
sion of civilians.

On other fronts, however, the o eration was
moving much less swiftly and smooth y. Ruling Lt.
Gen. Raoul Cedras is balking at leavin the coun-
try, and parliament remained divide over pro-
posed amnesty for the military, a measure seen as a
crucial step toward putting the country back
together.

In an interview with The Associ-

WASHINGTON — Congressional negotiators
agreed yesterday to bar the use of federal education
money for programs that directly promote sexual
activity or for condoms for distribution in the
nation’s schools.

The compromise agreement came as the Senate
and House conferees sought to resolve differences
on the reauthorization of the nearly $13 billion
Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which
expires Sept. 30.

If Congress fails to act by the deadline, funding
would cease for programs created by the act.
Among them is the $6.4 billion program aiding
educationally disadvantaged children, who tend to
be poor.

LOS ANGELES — A tape of a TV movie for
which 0.]. Simpson was trained to kill with a knife
was seized from his mansion along with a note
from his ex-wife telling him never to speak to her
again, a detective testified yesterday.

Detective David Martin said even though the
items weren’t specified in a search warrant, he took
them from Simpson’s house because he believed
they might link Simpson to the June 12 stabbing
deaths of his ex-wife and a friend of hers.

With Sim on’s trial scheduled to get under way
Monday wit jury selection, his lawyers are chal-
lenging the June 28 search as too broad and want
the evidence thrown out.

Police also spotted a picture of Simpson and
Nicole Brown Simpson in hap ier days. It had
been turned face down under his bed.

By Susan Herbert
Stafl Writer

Since 1987 the Affrilachian
Poets have given voice to
Appalachian voices that have often
gone unheard.

The group originated in 1987
between two men with an interest
in poetry: Gerald Coleman, the
current director of the Martin
Luther King Jr. Cultural Center,
and Frank Walker, former direc-
tor of the Bluegrass Black Arts
Consortium.

“Frank is a poet,” Coleman
said, “and he and I would get
together and read poetry. Being
two of a very small, minute roup
of black men who knew am? read
poetry, we kind of shared that
aspect with each other.

“After we had been doing it for
a while, there had been an influ-
ence of a sister by the name of
Nikky Finney, who is a professor
here of creative writing.”

EUUIIUIISE Tim Fisk transferred to
UK fiom Colgate two seasons ago.

FISII SIBI‘S
Illl' Collins'
Wildcats

By Jenoll Carey
Contributing Writer

If you look inside the chain-link
fence at UK’s Cage Field, you will
see a star.

No, this is not a nightly ritual.
This is Tim Fisk, a player on the
UK men’s soccer team.

The returning letter winner
from Louisville is back and settled
in for an exciting season.

“Whether I score goals or
defend them, I want to make
things happen, and win,” Fisk said.

Even fans of the opposition
know of Fisk’s skills.

“That’s trouble,” said a

Georgetown fan, at the game on
Wednesday, as Tim Fisk dribbled
toward the goal.

Fisk’s shine evolved when he
was named an All-State player his
junior and senior years and an All—
American player as a senior at
Male High School in Louisville.

Fisk also made his way to the
top by being voted Kentucky’s
High School Gatorade Player of
the Year.

So wh haven’t you heard this
name ear ier?

Primarily, because he’s a soccer
player at a basketball—crazed
school like UK.

But the midfielder also played
for Colgate College in New York
as a freshman and transferred to
UK last year to play for the Cats.

“I transferred to Kentuclgr
because it was a step up,” Fisk sai .
“I know they have the potential to
be a top notch team.”

Fisk has been playing since the
age of 5, and his hard work has
paid off.

“I lay non-stop,” Fisk said. “I
just on’t say ‘season’s starting’
and throw on my cleats.”

And Fisk’s stats show no mercy.
He has been on the startin team
for two years and plays or the
United States Inter-regional Soc—
cer League.

He was the Wildcats’ second-
leading goal shooter and scorer
last year, with 37 shots and 5
goals.

Fisk had 2 assists last season
and earned 12 tournament points.

Although the 1994 season is
still early to predict, Tim Fisk’s
numbers look good and he still
strives to improve his game.

Most of the preseason hype
surrounding UK football was
based on the Wildcats’ backfield.
After all, who in the Southeastern
Conference could boast a finer
stable of running backs than the
Cats?

Moe Williams? First team All—
SEC and All-America considera-
tion without a doubt.
Damon Hood?
Hard as nails.
Daymon Carter? Flashy. Get
ready for those Heisman poses in
the end zone.

While those players haven’t
lived up to their lofty expectations,
if you look a little further down
the depth chart, you’ll find two
runner’s anxious to make a little
noise of their own.

Raymond McLaurin and
Michael Woodfork are two red-
shirt sophomores fighting and
clawing for sna s in UK’s over-

the promising young runner.

Woodfork, from the famed
football program at Paducah
Tilghman High School in Paduc-
ah, Ky., had an excellent summer
and earned second-string fullback
honors.

But Woodfork served a one-
game suspension in the Cats’ sea—
son opener against Louisville and
is just now getting back into game
action.

While both players admit it’s
been hard not getting as much
playing time as they’d like, neither
is holding his head down.

“The most frustrating thing has
been the injuries,” McLaurin said.
“If not for that, I would have been
playing more. All I can do right
now is stay healthy and positive.”

Woodfork has spent most of his
time at UK as an apprentice to
Hood, and though he knows the
senior is a talented player, the
backup role hasn’t been easy for
Woodfork.

“It’s been hard, especially with
us losing lately," Woodfork said.
“You always feel like you can go in
there and do the job. But when my

number is called, I’ll just have to
show whatI can do.”

That’s not to say that all of his
time playing behind Hood has
been bad. It’s been a learning
experience for Woodfork as well.

“(The shuffling) has helped me
become more versatile, but I don’t

said. “I just want to get on the
field.”

Running backs coach Ray Dorr
said McLaurin and Woodfork
have performed well in practice,
but are simply caught up in a
numbers game.

“It isn’t anything they’re doing
wrong,” Dorr said. “The people
ahead of them are just doing an
exceptional job right now.”

Dorr added that UK has had
trouble getting enough carries for
its starting backs, let alone hand—

ing the ball off to the reserves.

Louisville, and he’s probably only

since, because our game plan has
gone a different direction,” Dorr
said.

But Dorr said there will come a
time when McLaurin and Wood—

be done with total confidence.

“We tell everybody, ‘You’re

said. “And when they do, they take
full advantage ofit.”
