Hemenway ’s town meetings begin today

Diverse audiences, locations
highlight chancellor’s agenda

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

 

Call it Bobapalooza

Chancellor for the Lexington
Campus Robert Hemenway’s annu-
al town meeting series takes on a
distinct concert tour flavor this
year. Instead of the usual three or
four meetings, Hemenway is taking
his show on the road for 13 campus
stops during the next two weeks.

Hemenway's audiences and are-
nas promise to be diverse. Venues
range from a meeting with Physical
Plant Division employees at the Pe-
terson Service Building garage to
one with College of Engineering fa-
culty in the Robotics Building.

“’Ihe people with the best solu-
tions to problems tend to be those
people who are closest to the prob-
lem." llemenway said. “The stu-
dents in the classroom. the staff try-
ing to make the computer system
work. the faculty working in labs or
in the library. those are the people

closest to the problems of the Uni-
versity and usually the most crea-
tive about finding improvements."

The first two town meetings are
today. At noon. Hemenway will ad-
dress faculty from the colleges of
architecture. fine ans. communica-
tions and information studies. and
social work at the Otis A. Single-
tary Center for the Ans.

At 4 pm. the chancellor will
meet with College of Agriculture
faculty at Seay Auditorium. Every-
one is welcome at each town meet-
ing.

The theme of this year's series is
“Where Do We Go From Here?"

“l‘ll be throwing out some chal-
lenges." he said. "it‘s time to chal-
lenge people to stan thinking about
where we want to go. what the Lex-
ington Campus should be for the
next five years.“

Hemenway plans on using the
town meetings for generating a new
Lexington Campus Agenda. 3 set of
goals for improving teaching. re-
search and the academic environ-

Organizers estimated nearly
5,000 people from all walks of

in the event.

UK students who stood in the

Several students said they

he said.

He also will HEMENWAY
float some new ideas before his au~
diences and ask their opinion.

“One of the challenges I'll be
throwing out there is whether it
should be a requirement for all fa-
culty to teach at least one lower-
division course each year." he said.
“(Another) thing we'll be talking
about is service learning and wheth-
er or not service by all students
shouldn't be a required pan of the
curriculum."

Other ideas include a required
course on the history of science and
technology, renovations of Lexing-
ton Campus buildings and a pro-
gram of graduate student recnrit-
ment similar to UK‘s recruitment of
National Merit Scholars.

Some royalty votes thrown out

SAB ofiicial: Poll worker tried
to influence election outcome

 

By Lance Williams
News Editor

 

There was nothing unusual about
the crowning of the Homecoming
King and Queen Saturday night in
Commonwealth Stadium.

However. questions still linger
concerning alleged problems in one
of the polling places on campus.

All the votes that were made at
the Margaret 1. King Library on
Thursday from ll am. to 2 pm.
were destroyed because of the ac-
tions of the poll workers.

“One of the organizations was
‘dropping hints' to everyone to vote
for certain people," said Caroline
Shively. Student Activities Board
Homecoming chairwoman.

"Ihey would say. ‘Here‘s a can—
didate you could vote for.‘ ” Shive-
ly said.

She said royalty co—chairman
Tommy Dennison saw the problems
during the voting and then reponed
them.

“One of the people (working the
polls) was trying to influence the
voters." Dennison said.

Dennison discovered the problem
at 1 pm. but let the voting continue
until the end of the shift.

After the shift had ended and the
ballots had been nrrned in. Denni-
son took the ballots to the Student
Activities Board adviser. and the

Protest sparks worst fighting
in Moscow since revolution

 

By Barry Ronfrow
Associated Press

 

MOSCOW — Thousands of anti-
government protesters armed with
rocks. clubs and machine guns
smashed through the siege of par-
liament yesterday. and sent police
fleeing in battles across Moscow. it
was the worst political violence in
Moscow since the 1917 Bolshevik
Revolution.

Authorities said at least 24 civil-
ians and soldiers were reported
killed. and as many as 100 were in-
jured.

A column of 40 armored vehicles
loyal to President Boris Yeltsin
rolled into central Moscow early to-
day. taking up positions outside the
Kremlin and Defense Ministry. It
was the army’s first major show of
force during the nearly 2-week-old
crisis between the government and
hard-line lawmakers barricaded in
puliamcnt

country home. declared a state of
emergency. giving police and
troops wide power to crack down
on unrest

Thousands of unarmed Yeltsin
supporters took to the streets to
suppon the president. who dis-
solved parliament Sept 2i in an ef-
fort to end his long power struggles
with the Soviet era parliament bent
on hobbling his reforms.

The protesters. an odd mixture of
communists. fascists and extreme
nationalists united by their opposi-
tion to Yeltsin. struck suddenly and
fiercely yesterday. beating young
riot police in vicious street fighting
and seizing Moscow's City Hall.

'lhey attacked the country's main
television complex with rocket-
propelled grenades. Government
paratroopers in armored personnel
carriers sprayed them with ma-
chine-gun fire. Three TV channels
went off the air and fighting raged
into this morning.

At least 20 civilians were killed

and more than 100 were injured.
excluding casualties from the
broadcast station. said Igor Nadezh-
din. an official with Moscow's
main medical authority.

In addition. fighting killed four
soldiers and injured dozens. city of-
ficials said without elaboration. Ex-
act figures were irnpossibie to gath-
er.
The lnterfax news agency report-
ed eight people were killed in fight-
ing at the TV complex. but there
was no immediate confinnation.

Hard-line lawmakers urged their
triumphant followers to seize other
installations and take control of the
government

“We have to take the Kremlin."
parliament speaker Ruslan Khasbu—
latov told the parliament. referring
to the government seat of power
where Yeltsin was in his office.

“The fate of Russia and the fate
of our children is being decided to-
day." Yeltsin said in a statement
distributed by the i'l‘AR-Tass news
agency.

decision was made to destroy the
votes.

"We didn‘t make any changes at
1 pm. because it was not possible

to have new people put in there at
they at the time.“ Dennison said.

Three groups were working the
polls at the library from 1 to 2 pm.
but Dennison said there was no way
to determine who was trying to

Convenient Hours: 7:30 a.m.-—S:30 p.m. Monday-Friday

LAND O‘LAKES, Fla. — “I go
zoom!" was all a 3-year—old boy
had to say after grabbing his par-
ent’s car keys and taking a wild joy-
ride.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers
remain stumped as to how Mikey
Sproul, who stands just 30 inches
tail, was able to hit the gas pedal
and maneuver at the same time.

The toddler’s steering was a bit
suspect. He hit three cars in less
than a half-mile during the ride Fri-
day. But no one was hurt. including
him.

“it never dawned on me he would
drive a car" said Paula Sproul, his
mother. “Not as a 3-year-old any-
way."

Mikcy‘s trip started just after
midnight when. as his parents slept,
he climbed their 5-foot bedroom
dresser and snatched the keys.
Dressed in nothing but his under-
wear. he hopped into the 1979 Mer-
cury and fired it up.

While backing out the driveway
and shifting into drive, he hit two
cars at an auto repmr sbqi next
. door. After a spin through a con-

Defensive throttle open;
shutout proves UK ability

The UK football team raced its
engine Saturday and shifted into
high gear.

The Wildcats screamed by the
Ole Miss Rebels. who seemed out
of gas at times, for a 21-0 whip-
ping.

“Right now, we're playing like a
BMW 735i," senior wingback Matt
Riazzi said.

“We're nice and steady. We‘re
big. but we can fly. Big cars. big
plays. Beautiful car, beautiful
team."

A pretty strong statement, consid-
ering this team looked more like a
‘76 Pinto at Indiana a few weeks
back. But this team is on a roll.

“I think we're like a Ferrari," jun-
ior quarterback Pookie Jones said.
“Right now. we're in fourth gear
going about 100 miles per hour. We
can hit 220. but not yet."

Senior wingback Alfonzo Brown-
ing agrees with Jones. saying the
Cats still have some tinkering to do
under the hood.

“I‘d say we would be a ‘68 Mus—
tang that's being fixed up," he said.
“It‘s got a rebuilt engine. We're
really close.

We‘re going to keep running un-
til we're a nice-looking ‘68 Mus-
tang."

The emotional defensive leader.
senior linebacker Marty Moore, be-
lieves this team is new and sleek.

“There‘s a lot of speed." he said.
“And a lot of talent.

We‘re not a Mercedes yet. I think
we‘re like a Lexus. It would have to
be a four-door because we've got
the size. It's a new car on the mar-

 

ket. and we're coming up."

The Wildcats are definitely on an
upswing.

After trailing South Carolina 17-
7 in the founh quarter Sept. 23, UK
has been a team with a new engine.
This win was UK's first shutout of
a Southeastern Conference school
since a 1977 blanking of Georgia.

“Now the men know how it feels
to play four quarters," UK coach
Bill Curry said. “We have not been
this sharp this year."

Jones, UK's offensive driver. re-
sponded to speculations of a possi-
ble quarterback controversy with
backup Antonio O'Fenal.

“The way Pookie came on and
came back was very significant."
Curry said.

“Pookie's taken people down the
field many. many times so he
doesn’t need the confidence."

Jones deflected the attention from
himself and gave credit to other
pans of the Wildcat machine.

“I rate this game in the top three
since I've been here." he said.
“They blitzed a lot, but the plays
coach (Daryl) Dickey called really
countered that The offensive line
protected me well all night."

“I thought we had some very as—
tute play-calling." Curry said.

Curry pointed to a few major
points for the Wildcat win: the lack
of tumovers and no big plays
against them.

“I was so proud of the way the
team swarmed and flew to the foot-
ball." he said. “It was a big deal that
we were playing the No. 2 defense
in America. Rather than playing
one good half, we played two good
halves."

The Wildcats gave up just 201

 

Senior back
making huge

Most successful football
teams have a go-to guy on third
down and long.

 

He's that guy who always
seems to gain respectable yard-
age every time he touches the
pigskin.

He‘s that guy who hardly
dropsabig pass.

He's that guy who's diving
for the sticks.

For UK. he's senior wingback
Alfonzo Browning.

In Saturday‘s 21-0 win over
Ole Miss. Browning collected
108 total yards. 73 through the
air and 35 on the ground. He is
UK‘s leading receiver with 216
yards.

So, how has Browning
emerged as the Wildcats resi-
dent crucial play expert?

 

“(UK quarterback) Pookie
(Jones) is staning to have a lot
of confidence in me." Browning
said. I think that's the thing that
has kept us up. Ihe confidence
is in our team and that‘s all that
matters.“

There seems to be an air of
stability every time Browning
gets the ball.

“I'm in awe sometimes with
the things he has done," said
wingback Matt Riazzi. who lost
his starting job to Browning.
“He's something else. When you
become second team to some-
body. its a lot easier to do when
the guy above you is playing so
well."

 

“He did a great job of getting
open in tough situations." Jones
said of Browning. “He‘s a great
player who does some amazing
things."

UK coach Bill (‘uny empha-
sized Browning's importance.

“Alfonzo is a great player." he

Browning came to UK as a junior

those winning ways and wish
for the past.

“I‘m just grateful the coaches
believe in me," he said.

“We've got a lot of talent out
there. I‘m glad to be a part of
this team."

This UK team has already
gone through the normal ups
and downs of a whole season
for most teams. Case in point:
Indiana

“At Indiana. we didn‘t come
to play." Browning said. The
memory of that disappoinunent
surfaced on his face.

“I don't even want to talk
about it."

The Wildcats have put that
experience behind them and are
looking to producing a strong
stretch run.

"Last year. we came so
close." Browning said. “This
year. we're keeping up the in-
tensity. This team has the will to
never quit.

yards of total offense. UK defensive
end Zane Beehn was impressed
with the way UK's defense came to-
gether.

“It seems that on fourth and one,
we want them to run it to our side."
he said. “It's a total package.

We do have some all-stars. but
the guys surrounding them are good

Taking a 13-0 lead into the locker
room at the half. UK was pumped
up.

“We were in there yelling."
Beehn said “We went out there to
shut this team out."

Curry said he has found the best
way to deal with an exited team at
halftime that has not won big games
before.

“I’ve learned with a team that has
not enjoyed this kind of success that
it is better not to settle them down."

They did not settle down at all.
They accelerated.
