UK launches elder care program fOr employees

By RHONA BOWLES
Staff Writer

Responding to a growing need of
employees with aging relatives. UK
officially began offering a free con-
sultation and referral service yester-
day to all regular, full-time state em-
ployees.

UK Elder Care, a division of
UK‘s Sanders-Brown Center on Ag-

ing, is an agency that‘ ‘gathers all re-
sources related to the elderly and
helps employees sort through the
maze and complexity” which a lot
of employees go through when seek-
ing information about services, ac-
cording to program coordinator Ron
Burdon.

“A lot of people take off a week
to find a nursing home (for an elder
relative) and that’s hard because all

the beds in Kentucky are full," he
said.

Burdon said UKEC saves employ-
ees time because “our office has all
the information right here."

UKEC assists employees in locat-
ing and selecting nursing homes,
housing arrangements, estate plan-
ning, counseling and more.

Some companies, such as First
Security Bank of Lexington, give

employees with elderly parents the
same option as young children — a
dependent care spending acc0unt,
which deducts pay into a non-taxed
account.

But a move toward elder care by
an institution of higher learning is
still somewhat revolutionary.

“We're the only university across
the nation" with this kind of pro-
gram, Burdon said. “We are on the

cutting edge of a new field.”

At the Center on Aging, Burdon
worked with major corporations like
IBM, providing elder care consulta-
tion and referral services for its em—
ployees. Because a number of IBM
employees needed such services,
Burdon said he thought UK employ-
ees might have similar needs.

Last year Burdon explored the
need for elder care consultation ser-

vices by gathering data. Research
showed that one out of every three
employees or their spouses are tak-
ing care of an elder relative, he said.

Burdon shared his research with
Jean Cox, chairman of the employee
benefit committee, and together they
took the idea for a service to benefit
employees to Peter Bosomworth,

Eight-year resident

towers over others

By TONJA WILT
Executive Editor

For nearly a decade, Paul Broderick has
climbed, ning by rung, the ladder of resi-
dence hall life, only to find himself stuck at
the bottom.

Despite what he originally intended, the
bottom is just the place the UK student is
happy to be.

Broderick, you see, has lived in Kirwan
Tower for eight years —- the first two as a
resident and the last six as a resident advis-
er, assistant hall director or hall director.

“I think I’ve stayed around just basically
because I wasn’t comfortable with what I
had done at the University of Kentucky,"
said Broderick, who is responsible for a
staff of 23 and 644 residents — mostly
freshmen and sophomores. “I hadn’t made a
difference within my life I hadn’t lived
the college experience to the fullest.”

That college experience extends farther
than most, with Broderick ranking in “the
top three" of hall directors to stay at UK the
longest.

When the 26—year~old Oldharn County na-

ing with a horticulture degree in four years
and getting a job. Instead, he continued his
studies in another field - physical therapy.

“Once I became hall director here, then I
wanted to prove that I could do more than
just the job,” Broderick said. “That was that
I could run the building effectively and
probably destroy the old, (impersonal) im-
age of Kirwan Tower in a lot of ways."

That tainted image on south campus is
fading, Broderick said, but the campuswide
sense of community has declined. He cites
last weekend — when many UK students
left for the Labor Day holiday —. as an ex-
ample.

“When I was a freshman here, my Lord,
every weekend, whether it was a football
weekend or not, never died," he said.

For this reason, residence halls emphasiire
weekend programming to give students a
reason to stay at UK.

“People in the residence halls can pro-
gram out the wazoo but as far as creating
that sense of community, I think it needs to
be a thing, not just in the residence halls, but
also needs to be something with staff and fa-
culty all around," he said.

Dozens of Westerners trickled out

tinational naval armada is growing,

Iraqi-flagged freighter to enforce the
tightening embago on Iraqi trade.

It was the first publicly acknowl-

Cross country meet canceled due to conflict

By TIMOTHY WIESENHAHN
Staff Writer

The UK Cross Country Invitation-
al. traditionally held each fall at the
Kentucky Horse Park. has been can-
celled this year.

Cross country coach Don Weber
said the Horse Park’s inability to
guarantee a long-term traditional
date killed the Cats’ only home
meet.

“To give you an indication of how
badly we wanted to run out there,
the week of our meet, the three cross
country coaches would rent lawn
mowers and cut the entire course by
hand,” Weber said.

After last year’s invitational, We-

ber asked Horse
Park officials to
continue hosting
the meet on the
fourth weekend
in September,
and to guarantee
the same date in
the future.

“What‘s criti-
cal In gems of WEBER
developing a
meet is having a traditional date
where teams from one year to the
next can plan their schedules," We-
ber said. “If it can’t be done year-in
and year-out, you have real prob-
lems."

Horse Park officials refused We-

ber’s request but offered instead to
host the invitational Oct. 13. without
a long-term guarantee.

The park's proposaJ did nothing to
resolve the conflict for two reasons.
First, the cross country team already
is scheduled to run at the Indiana In-
vitational on Oct. 13 in Blooming-
ton. Secondly, the Tennessee Volun-
teers are hosting the Tennessee
Invitational in Knoxvrlle on Oct. 15.

The Knoxville meet holds special
importance, Weber said, since UT
hosts this year‘s NCAA Cross Coun-
try Invitational on Nov. 19. Weber

UK, First Security set up new ATM

By HOLLY HOUSTON
Staff Writer

. Life may be a little easier for stu-
dents who live on the south end of
campus since the installation of a
new automatic teller machine at in
the Complex Commons.

The automatic teller, sponsored
by First Security and UK, was ready
to use by mid-July for fast cash and
other transactions. Before the new
machine was installed. students'
only option if they wanted money
on campus was to use one of the
four machines outside the Student
Center.

The new machine accepts both
Quest and Cirrus ATM cards, and is
represented by five Lexington
banks: Bank of Lexington, Ban-
kOne, Central Bank & Trust, Com-
merce National and First Security.

Jim Wessels, special assistant to
Vice Chancellor for Administration
Jack Blanton. said the original idea
called for five separate machines,
but that First Security‘s assistant
vice president persuaded UK to use
one machine that takes both kinds of
ATM cards.

“The students at that end came to
Jack and said, ‘Hey, what can you
do for us?” Wessels said. “Jack

contacted the bank."

Paul Frye, First Security‘s Vice-
president of automated banking,
said they gave each Lexington bank
an opportunity to enter into a jomt
venture, first suggested by Blanton.

However, the separate machines
were too expensive for each bank
and that the jomt venture allows the
banks to share cost and revenue.
Frye said.

He said the new ATM costs about
$25,0(X), plus alarms, installation
and monthly maintenance.

The machine is still profitable for

The president was sending two
top aides on visits to wealthy allies
to solicit donations to cover expens-
es of the massive military operation
in the gulf.

The White House announced that
Bush had decided to ask Congress to
forgive Egypt's entire $7 billion mil-
itary debt in appreciation for Presi-
dent Hosni Mubarak’s role in stand-
ing up to Iraqi aggression.

While efforts continued to secure
the release of Westemers who have
been detained in Iraq, the plight of
tens of thousands of Asians who
have made it out of Iraq but not

home grew more miserable.

They were camped in the desert
just inside Jordan. fighting over
dwindling supplies. Jordan‘s crown
prince criticized the lack of attention
given to the Asians and appealed for
help. International relief organiza-

INSIDE: FOREST WHITAKER OF “BIRD" SAYS PRAISE BETTER THAN GETTING OSCAR

 

 

 2 2 - Kentucky Kernel, Wednesday, September 5, 1990

SI ’01 x’ '1 ‘8

Save leader not ready ‘7)
to be called ‘best’ yet ‘

Associated Press

CHICAGO -— Bobby Thigpen
may have the major league record
for saves, but he isn’t ready to be
called the best reliever in baseball.

“I’m not the best,” said Thigpen,
who eamed his record-breaking
47th save Monday night in Chica-
go's 4-2 victory over the Kansas
City Royals.

Thigpen concedes the honor to
Oakland's Dennis Eckersley.

“I’ve blown seven saves and that
guy's blown only two," Thigpen
said. “He’s walked three the last two
years. To me he’s the best."

Actually, Eckersley, with 41
saves, has walked six in the last two
seasons. He has only two blown
saves, but he had six last year to go
along with his 33 saves.

Thigpen had 34 saves in each of
the two previous seasons and each
year had nine blown saves. He is not
pleased with his seven lost opportu-
nities this season but concedes “I‘m
not perfect, I’m not going to make
the right pitch every time.”

He did Monday when he took
over in the ninth after Barry Jones,
his personal set-up reliever, had
worked through the seventh and

eighth innings.

Thigpen retired pinch batter Ke-
vin Seitzer on a grounder, gave up a
single to Brian McRae but got
George Brett to hit into a game-
ending double play. He was then
mobbed by his teammates.

Was it his toughest save?

“It seemed like it," said Thigpen,
who broke the record of 46 set by
Dave Righetti of the New York
Yankees in 1986. “It was more
emotional than I thought it would
be. But there are more games to go
and I hope I can put a bunch more
up."

Thigpen is on a pace to finish
with 57 saves.

“I believe he’s going to annihilate
the record.” said Manager Jeff Tor-
borg, who was the Yankees' bull-
pen coach when Righetti set his
record.

Carlton Fisk, who has been put-
ting up a lot of numbers himself,
also thinks that Thigpen will add to
his record because of the team’s in-
ability to blow out opponents.

“It’s too bad the team has to play
that brand of baseball," Fisk said.
“It‘s not like we can go out and get
19 hits and 15 runs. But we’re
ahead and that's what counts.”

UK quarterback Freddie Maggard breaks away from a pursuing Central Michigan defense during Saturday‘s football game.

UK working out kinks before next game

By BOB NORMAN
Sports Editor

Outside linebackers learn early on
that containment of the offense is
the key.

But Jeff Brady, outside linebacker
turned bandit, has had to forget his
past training or, to put it more suc—
cinctly, he's had to reverse it. Brady
is just one of the players that was
put to the test Saturday in the sea-
son opening victory over Central
Michigan University.

And though the senior had been
feverishly practicing to learn the
role Bill Curry had created for him,
Brady discovered that a conditioned
response on the football field is

hard to change when tossed from
the choreographed atmosphere of
preseason practice into the uncon-
trolled setting of a real game.

“I found myself doing some
things Saturday that I was doing last
season," the senior said. “(Offen-
sive lineman Joel) Mazzella saw
that and we laughed a little about
it.”

But laughing is not all Brady or
Mauella or the rest of the team has
been doing this week -— it has been
on the practice field working to cor-
rect the wrongs of Saturday’s per-
forrnance.

And along with the new perspec-

tive of actually having played a com-
petitive game against another school
under the scope of 57,000 fans
comes a new attitude.

“We are working extremely hard
as we have from the very begin-
ning," Curry said yesterday. “And I
like our team's attitude about getting
back on the practice field when
we take over a football operation, I
always like to see how the men are
going to come back to the practice
field after a game.

“We practiced under the lights last
night (since) we’re going to play in
the lights (against Rutgers), and we
had perhaps the best practice ever."

What is the team practicing? Curry
won‘t say.

“The areas that need improvement
are so obvious from the game that I
don't even have to get into it. and
I’m not about to announce our weak-
nesses. So you’re going to have to
speculate about them.”

While working to improve on pass
receiving and defensive containment.
however, the Cats will also attempt
to integrate new parts of Curry’s
overall system into the UK attack.

In other news concerning the
Cats:

-As far as the positive effect a
road win at Rutgers next Saturday
would have on the state’s football
atmosphere, Curry says slow down.

“You change the mindset of the
state with performance not with
head coaches making speeches. One
thing you've got to be really careful
about in our situation here is that in-
stant gratification thing. Nobody is
promising instant gratification
around here. We demand it of the
players but to despair because
something doesn't happen automati-
cally, instantly, which is what peo-
ple like, instant pleasure isn’t
right. It‘s like win the game or de—
spair, ‘Oh, Lord help us. we didn’t
win by enough, or the win wasn’t
pretty'. Well, a win is a win and a
program is a program. It’s not one
occasion."

-On UK fans following the team
on the road, Curry said, “The solid.

bunch of crazies that go on the road
with them We’ll make that hap-
pen, but we’ll have to make it hap—
pen with performance."

land, would mark “a major mile-
stone on the road toward resolving
the crisis in the Persian Gulf."

But more than a month after
Baghdad provoked the crisis by
overrunning Kuwait in a dipute over
oil and land, the Iraqi government
did not appear to be softening its
stance.

A dispatch from the official Iraqi
news agency said lawyers were dis-
cussing setting up an international
“people’s court” to try President
Bush for defiling Islam and for hu-
man rights violations.

Despite promises by President
Saddam Hussein that women and
children foreigners in Iraq would go
free. the outlook for more large—
scale departures such as those over
the weekend appeared dim.

More than 700 Western hostages
— women, children and a few ailing
men — have left, but the departures
of others have been complicated by
Iraq’s refusal to allow foreign air-
lines to land in Baghdad and by long
delays in processing their exit per-
mits.

About 11,000 Westerners are be-
lieved still stranded in Kuwait and
Iraq.

In a move that appeared to cast

9°19

further doubt on the Iraqi promises.
Baghdad on Monday asked Western
countries whose citizens it holds to
urgently send food for them. And it
said the United States would be the
guilty party if foreign captives go
hungry as a result of food shortages
caused by the trade sanctions.

Scores of Western nationals, in-
cluding 135 West Germans. arrived
Tuesday in the Jordanian capital,
Amman. aboard two Iraqi Airways
jetliners. No Americans were report-
ed on board.

Western diplomats were negotiat—
ing frantically to obtain exit permits
for another group of foreign women
and children, including Americans.
who wanted to leave on another Ira-
qi flight, this one chartered by the
United States.

One Iraqi Airways source said the
airline was “unofficially" advised to
ready a plane to carry 138 foreign-
ers to Amman, the only foreign air-
port open to Iraq's flag carrier.

A Western diplomatic source said
24 Americans are among those try-
ing to leave on that flight.

Another group of Westerners tried
their luck with a trip across the
scorching desert. The British-
organized convoy of about 300 peo-
ple left Kuwait at dawn Tuesday,
British Foreign Secretary Douglas
Hurd told reporters in Ta'if, Saudi
Arabia, where he was meeting with
the deposed Kuwaiti government.

They were headed for Baghdad in

hoped to leave Iraq from there.

Hurd said 148 women and 150
children were on the SOO-mile trip.
It was not known whether the Brit-
ons were joined by people of other
nationalities.

Officials estimated the trip could
take anywhere from IO to 28 hours.

A Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 ar-
rived in Amman from London, car-
rying relief supplies for Jordan to
help care for the refugees.

West Germany said 98 of its
stranded women and children are
rived in Baghdad after an overland
trip from Kuwait Monday. and 24
Italians also were said to have made
it by road to Baghdad.

In other developments:

— A top Palestine Liberation Or-
ganization official was quoted as
saying Saddam is prepared to nego-
tiate a withdrawal from Kuwait if he
receives certain guarantees.

In an interview with the French
newspaper Liberation, Abu Iyad, the
PLO‘s No. 2 man. said: “Saddam

wants a negotiated settlement, but
not one that could be interpreted as
a failure on his part” Abu Iyad and
PLO chief Yasser Arafat have held
extensive talks with the Iraqi leader.

—— King Hussein of Jordan was to
hold talks with Saddam on Wednes-
day or Thursday in another attempt
to find a diplomatic solution, the
Italian foreign minister said in
Rome.

The king has been touring Eu-
rope.

-—- A US. guided-missile frigate
steamed through the Suez Canal to-
ward the Red Sea to join the intema-
tional armada in the Persian Gulf,
and the French Foreign Ministry
said the nine countries of the West-
ern European Union will send more
than 30 warships to the region in
September.

—— Norway said it would evacuate
its embassy in Kuwait because con-
ditions had become intolerable.
Conditions are worsening at the 30
embassies that refused to shut down
in defiance of Iraqi orders and are
now without vital services such as
water.

did not have a conflict with UK or

coordinators, such as Weber, were

field house is completed.

Weber, who also is UK's track
and field coach, said he is eagerly
awaiting the arrival of the new facil.
ity. The long-range benefits, Weber
said, would more than make up for
the initial loss of UK's only home
meet, as well as the lost SEC Cham-
pionships.

Although the field house was
originally slated to be built adjacent
to UK's outdoor track, Larry Ivy.
associate athletic director of internal
affairs, said the facility’s size limita—
tions forced UK officials to consider
an alternative location. His “best
guess“ is that the field house will be
built behind the s0uth end of Com-
monwealth Stadium.

Construction should begin in Jan-
uary or Fcbmary of I991 and should
last about I 1 months, Ivy said.

The new field house will include
11 six—lane, 400-meter track, which
will encompass a IOO—yard football
field. Due to what Ivy called a “spe—
cial netting system,” the facility si-
multaneously will accommodate
several different athletic activities.

 4— Kentucky Kernel, Wednesday, September 5. 1990

I)! VERSIONS
Narrowing musical taste harmful to all musicians, society

There is nothing more dangerous
than a pacifist who feels insulted.
It’s like a Jekyll and Hyde effect.

I actually feared for my life last
year because of an article where I —-
God forbid —— made fun of the
Grateful Dead.

(Slight pause while author is
struck by lighming. The Kernel staff
starts complaining of smelly, charred
flesh.)

Visions of tiedyed figures carry-
ing uzis and yelling, “This one is for
Jerry” danced through my night-
mares. I became nervous when l was
around people with names like
“Moon," “Phoenix" or “Seaweed."

I was a nervous wreck.

What a long strange trip it’s been.
Indeed.

That experience came back to me
last week when I was hanging out
with friends and someone suggested
we listen to music. We went through
a few song titles, but some people

 

Michael L

said they hadn’t heard of any of the
groups because they “only listen to
the Beatles and the Grateful Dead.”

Pow, right in the kisser. Twenty
years of music out the window.

My first reaction was that these
persons were pretty stupid for the
narrow music standards, but, I real-
ized later that it’s something that
happens all the time.

Somewhere in our history, Ameri-
cans lost the ability to have friendly
disagreements. People started divid-
ing themselves and settling them-
selves into cliques. Deadheads only
listen to ’60s music, Metalhcads only
listen to bad heavy metal, rap fans

only listen to rap and alternative
people only listen to bands with bad
haircuts and small recording con-
tracts. It goes on and on, every genre
of music has its sole devotes, even
polka.

Come on, if everyone is being a
non-conformist, what’s the use? We
all need variety.

I don‘t mean to generalize and say
that everyone who likes a certain
group or genre limits themselves to
that genre. but it happens enough for
us to worry about it.

It never dawned on me how often
it occurs until I decided to declare
war on one of my roommates. It is a
slow audio war: if he is playing mu-
sic, I will play mine louder. If we
are in the same room we fight over
the next tape.

It‘s been a good exchange. I’ve
learned to appreciate Miles Davis
more and he's asked for a copy of
Public Enemy’s Fear of A Black

Planet.

There was a time when you could
listen to Led Zepplin, Marvin Gaye
and Santana on the same radio sta-
tion and not worry about what was
heavy metal, soul or whatever. All
that mattered was that it was good.

Limiting our listening isn't good
for music and it isn’t good for music
lovers. A lot of great artists are over-
looked because they don’t fit in a
genre or they want to be original.

Listen to anything you can get
your hands on. You don't have to
like it, but at least you've exposed
yourself to it. Surely now you can
understand why others like it

I’m sure 20 years ago. some guy
was sitting in an apartment near carn-
pus and said he didn’t want to hear
“Sgt. Pepper“ because he only lis—
tened to Pat Boone and Dean Martin.
Don’t you feel sorry for that poor

sucker?

Children find hidden artistic treasure in France

By HANNS NEUERBOURG
Associated Press

MONT IGNAC, France — It is a
dream of millions of children every-
where to find a hidden treasure. It
came true 50 years ago for four
French youngsters who discovered
what turned out to be the cradle of
world art.

With its magnificent murals, creat-
ed more than 17,000 years ago, the
Lascaux cave near this Dordogne
town is rated by experts to contain
the world’s finest and best preserved
display of prehistoric draftsmanship.

Hundreds of thousands have ad-
mired the vivid colors of its paintings
and the clarity of their lines. But
mass pilgrimages to the hillside cave

in southwest France brought them to
the verge of destruction, forcing its
closing in 1963.

A team of scientists using modern
technology repaired the damage and
restored the former environmental
conditions inside the cave and thus
ensured survival of mankind’s earli-
est masterpieces.

An was hardly 0n the minds of the

four boys, who were between 15 and
18, when they took a day off from
school on Sept. 12, 1940 and roamed
the dense forest above the Vezere
River. Legend had it that there was a
secret un
