Police investigate
shooting oi llanada doctor

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Police in
two countries tried yesterday to find the person
whose bullets critically wounded a doctor and
brought the increasin ly violent fight over abortion
into normally peacefquanada.

While two US. doctors have been killed and
another wounded by anti-abortion activists over the
past two years, shootings of any kind have remained
a rarity in Canada, where guns are tightly con-
trolled.

That made Tuesday’s attack on Dr. Garson
Romalis as he sat eating breakfast in his home all the
more frightening.

“I’m shocked, absolutely shocked that somebody
would be shot,” said Dr. Mark Schonfeld, president
of the British Columbia Medical Association.

Iran homhs site in northern Iraq

NICOSIA, Cyprus — Iran sent jet fighters to
bomb an Iranian Kurdish base in northern Iraq yes-
terday, the second attack reported this week on dis-
sidents operating from Iraq.

At least one person was killed and three were
wounded in the raid on the Iranian Kurdish base. It
was the latest Iranian incursion into the no-fly zone
the West set up in northern Ira to protect Kurdish
dissidents from Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

The air raid was the first this year on Iranian
opposition bases in Iraq, but there have been others
against Iranian Kurds and other opponents since
Tehran and Baghdad ended eight years of war with
a 1988 truce.

Republicans sketch new plans

WASHINGTON — In charge and eager to
begin, leaders of the new Republican majorities in
the House and Senate sketched a conservative agen—
da yesterday including a balanced budget amend—
ment and term limits for lawmakers.

A tax cut, welfare reform, crime legislation and
health reform also are likely to be addressed in the
104th Congress —— the first under GOP control
since the Eisenhower era.

Senate Republican leader Bob Dole and Rep.
Newt Gingrich, House speaker-in-waiting, pledged
cooperation with President Clinton wherever possi-
ble. “Maybe we can do some business,” Dole told
the president in a phone conversation witnessed by
reporters.

SFAIE Helicopters drop water on lires

PIKEVILLE, Ky. — Four military helicopters
from Virginia joined in dropping water on eastern
Kentucky’s forest fires, but nature is still refusing to
do its art to douse the flames.

“0 course, west and central (Kentucky) have got
rainfall,” said Rich Green, spokesman for the state
Division of Forestry. “We, of course, want to think
— and we’re on our knees hoping —— that’s moving
east. But the forecast is not looking the best. We’re
not real encouraged.”

Green said 32 fires burned 3,550 acres around
the region yesterda . That was compared with 37
fires that had burne about 2,000 acres on Tuesday.

Pike County was worst hit, with two fires alone at
McVeigh and Mouthcard that covered 1,000 acres
each.

Students served agenda lor lunch

By Jonniler Smith
Staff Writer

Student Government Association
President Benny Ray Bailey spoke to a
lunchtime crowd at the Student Center
about the Chancellor’s new five—year
campus agenda yester— .
day.

Bailey introduced
Chancellor for the Lex—
ington Campus Robert
Hemenway as the “man
with the plan.”

Hemenway spoke
loudly over the noise to
present his sixth annual
agenda to students in the cafeteria.

“The noise level was so high,"
Hemenway said after the meeting. “I
think if we do it in the cafeteria again,
we’ll et note cards for students to
print t eir questions on.”

Hemenway

   

In past years, Hemenway has spoken
to students during his town meetings
across campus. He said he changed the
venue this year at the urging of former
SGA President T.A. Jones.

He said Jones thou ht it would
attract more students an draw in ones
who were “just there to eat.”

In his address, Hemenway presented
a shorter version of his campus agenda.

He told students he would be re—
senting the highlights of his agenda to
allow plenty of time for student ques-
tions and concerns.

Hemenwa introduced the students
to the “vast earning bureaucracy” he
views at the University.

He said there are classes on campus
in which no learning takes place.

“There may be teaching, but that
doesn’t mean there is learning,”
Hemenway said.

As possible solutions, he said there

should to be more frequent interaction
between faculty and students.

He said he would like to pursue hav-
ing UK operate year-round. Also,
Hemenway said he would like to see
increased funding for UK learning
technology and scholarships.

After his presentation, he opened
the floor to questions, but students
were slow to respond.

“Neither Benny Ray or I have eaten
today,” Hemenway said. “We’ll go off
and get hamburgers if there aren’t any
questions.”

David Billups, a fourth-year physics
student, voiced his concerns over the
disparity among the professors.

He questioned how seriously admin-
istrators and tenure review committees
take student evaluations of their teach-
er performances.

“I cannot stress enough that teacher
evaluations get paid attention to, that

they get read,” Hemenway said.

Hemenway also was asked about a
lack of parking on campus.

He told students UK is met with a
set of pressing questions concerning
parking every ear.

However, he assured students that
the parking spaces taken because of
construction will be replaced eventual—
lv.

He said lans are being made to
build a parking structure on North
Campus. He said it would serve faculty,
staff and students.

Bailey also said there were plans in
the works to require permits for ark—
ing bikes on campus. He urgedpstu-
dents to fight this idea.

“I live downtown, and sometimes I
get the notion to bike (to campus),”
Bailey said. “I do not know how I can
pay to park my bike and my truck. I’m
getting hit at both ends."

Clinton oliicial
to speak today

By Jason Dallilo

Assistant Sport; Editor

What exactly does the solicitor general do?

That question will be answered tonight when the
U.S. solicitor general delivers a lecture at the UK
College ofLaw’s auditorium tonight.

Drew S. Days III, who was appointed by President
Clinton, said his speech, titled “In Search of the
Solicitor General’s Clients: A Drama with Many
Characters,” will focus on Days’ role within the Jus—
tice Department.

Days said he will discuss the relationships his office
maintains with the president, the attorney general,
Congress and other independent regulatory agencies.

Days will attempt to explain a number of real-
world situations that his
office deals with daily.

Since about two-thirds of
all the cases heard in the
Supreme Court involve the
United States government,
the solicitor general coordi—
nates the government’s posi—
tion on such suits.

general, Days served in the
Peace Corps and as a mem—
ber of the NAACP’s legal defense fund. He got his
start in government under President Jimmy Carter,
who appointed him assistant attorney general for
human rights.

Days was invited to speak at UK as part of the Mac
Swinford lecture series, established to honor the late
US. District CourtJudge, who was a UK graduate.

The lecture series, which began in 1978, is spon-
sored by the Kentucky Bar Association and the UK
Colle e of Law.

“T is was set up to memorialize (Swinford’s) life
and bring his career accomplishments into the spot-
light,” UK College of Law Dean David Shipley said.

Tonight's lecture will mark the ninth year for the
speech. Past Swinford lectures have featured digni-
taries such as Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman
Supreme Courtjustice, and Stephen Bright, director
for the Southern Center for Human ights, who
spoke in 1992.

In addition to UK students, many attorneys from
around the state also will be on hand to hear Days’
lecture, which is free and open to the public, Shipley
said.

Next week is the perfect time
for UK students to prove they
truly bleed blue.

UK and the Central Kentucky
Blood Center are joining forces to
try to beat Tennessee for the third
time in a row in the Seventh
Annual Big Blue Crush blood
drive competition, which will be
h§ld from Monday through Nov.
1 .

A news conference featuril‘thg
UK Athletics Director C. .
Newton kicked off the event yes-

terday at the blood center.

“(Newton) always lends his
su port for the competition by
ta king about the friendly rivalry
between UK and Tennessee,” said
Marsha Berry, the center’s com-
munity relations consultant.

The “Battle for Blood” with
MEDIC Regional Blood Center
and the University of Tennessee
has become a tradition with the
UK community and fans through-
out central an eastern Kentucky.

Berry said that in addition to
competin with Tennessee, par-
ticipants attlc other adversaries
like fear and apathy.

She said fear of needles, fear of
getting AIDS and an “I don’t care
or I don’t have time” attitude dis-
suade people from giving blood.

“It’s one week where we not
onl look to defeat Tennessee, but
we 00k to defeat those other com-
petitors too,” Berry said.

Berry said she hopes that this
year people display the same
enthusiasm and spirit that brought
UK a victo over Tennessee and
provided 2, 38 pints of blood for
those who needed it.

“To remain realistic, we’ve set a
goal of 2,200 pints for this year’s
drive,” Berry said.

“We want to keep the event
competitive, exciting and fun for
both teams.”

Big Blue Crush comes at a per-
fect time for the blood center.
Yesterday, the blood supply was
200 unim short.

The blood collected from Big
Blue Crush helps ensure an ade-
quate blood supply for area hospi-
tal patients during the upcoming
holiday season.

The Student Government
Association is sponsoring this
year’s on-campus mobile blood
drive.

“Giving blood is always impor-

for everyone to come out and give
blood.”

There are some important
guidelines for blood donors to
remember.

Donors are eligible to give
blood every 56 days. An one 1 or
older, weighing at east 100
pounds and in good general health
may donate blood.

Students who have colds or are
taking antibiotics for infections
should not give blood.

Each donor will receive an “I
Bleed Blue” sticker and a fiee, cus-
tom-designed Big Blue Crush T-
shirt.

“The goal of this new service is to
offer campus, local, state and

System users must dial 257-

and then type the current

The system offers information
about full-time, part-time and co-

Law to llfllll minority conference

By Holly Celeste Terry
Staff Writer

The UK College of Law, with
the support of the Office of Minori-
ty Affairs, will hold the eighth annu—
al Minority Student Visitation Con-
ference on Saturday.

Carolyn M. Kennedy, associate
dean and director of minority affairs
of the College of Law, said the con—
ference usually is held in the fall to
help prepare students for the LSAT
by providing test-taking strategies.

The College of Law has an
enrollment of 25 minority students
out of 395, or about 6 percent.

The national average for black
law students is 7 percent for each
state.

“While we have a small enroll-
ment of black students in our col-

The conference is open to stu-

“However, college juniors and

Kennedy said.

The majori of the students that

bulimia and define the diseases.

She also will give advice on how
to approach a friend who may
have a problem.

“This is my most common
question,” Danford said. She sug—
gested a direct but gentle
approach.

“It is a difficult thing to hear,”
she said, “People with eating dis-
orders don’t want to hear it.”

Danford said eating disorders
such as anorexia and bulimia affect
5 to 7 percent of the general popu-
lation of women.

“I suspect the percentage is
higher on college campuses
because of the age group,” Dan-
ford said. “College is a time when
people try to find their identity.
They often focus on their bodies.”

Culture also plays a role in eat-
ing disorders, she said.

“Through the media women
are influenced to have the perfect
body and perfect weight,” Dan—
ford said.

She cited dieting as a major
cause of eatin disorders, and she
said she wil speak about the
“bin e and purge cycle.”

“ his is a big problem for
women all over the U.S.,” said
Claire Coombs, vice resident of
moral advancement or Phi Phi
and co-chairwoman of the event.

“Our nationals wanted us to do
something on campus for every-
one.”

Theta member Meredith Herr,
co-chairwoman of the event, said
the goal of the s eech is to
“increase awareness or our mem-
bers and the entire campus.”

Danford also plans to teach stu-
dents how to eat healthy and plan
balanced meals.

Brochures will be provided for
students who want to learn more
about eatin disorders.

Danfor will talk for about 30
minutes. A uestion-and-answer
session will fo low.

Organizers encourage everyone
to attend. “Everyone could be
around it and be affected by (eat-
ing disorders),” Herr said.

The speech is not restricted to
sorority members, Coombs said.

Danford said she hopes the
speech will “give students an
awareness that dietin is danger-
ous and if someone (Foes have an
issue with eating or weight there is
a place to go for help.”

,_ from his Christian Science upbringing, Gray traipsed the globe in the quest

of alternative remedies, anything but microsurgical scrapin .

He went to his therapist, who worried that the disor er was Oedi al

uicide. He wondered if he wasn’t “subconsciously scratching out

He went to a nutritional ophthalmologist who prescribed raw
vegetables, which nearly ruined his health.

He went to Minnesota and participated in a Native American

He even revisited the Christian Scientist of his youth.

Along the way, Gray discovers what he was really looking for:
an eternal medical lan he can believe in, a mind-body

healing that will subdue his lifelon skepticism, a
means to squeeze his gi antic oubts through

the needle’s eye of medgical miracles.

And, of course, a way to avoid the knife.
Now 50, with middle—age passing
swiftly by him, and old age suddenly

Gray finallfy faces the

Another anxiety adds to

Supafuzz to bring its sounds of blues injected
rock ‘n' roll to the Wrocklage tomorrow night

The band has recorded about 21 son 5, and from
those, they will pick about 10 to put on the album.

“I’m going to finish mixing on Wednesday,” he
said. “We’re oing to try to release it around March.”

The Supafiizz buzz apparently is getting around,
but Angstrom doesn’t like to deal with the business
aspect.

“There are a lot of peo le interested,” he said, “but
I let our management deafwith that stuff. When I get
involved with that, I lose some of the emotions in the
music. I’d rather just play my itar.”

Angstrom ex lained that t e band member’s per-

. sonalities may differ slightly, but they bal-
ance out.

“I was pretty bitter as far as the music
industry is concerned,” he explained.
“Dean and Chris are a lot more positive.”

As a devoted fan of honest, tasty blues
rock, Angstrom is not much of an MTV
fan.

“MTV turns music into an infomer-
cial,” he said.

“I miss the days of the early AC/DC in
blue jeans and T-shirts. Music really
needs a breath of reality.”

Supafuzz is fully aware that being part
of a band requires a lot of work, and that
mean very little free time.

“We all work 40 hours a week along
with the band,” Angstrom said. “We’ve
only had about three weekends off since
March. Even though we put a lot of work
in, it’s nothing compared to what we get
out of it.”

While it’s no doubt hard work,
Angstrom is glad to be doing it.

Each member is a veteran of the music business.

Angstrom is formerly of the Lexington power trio
Black Cat Bone.

Hardesty and Smith were the rhythm section for a
side project by Kentucky Headhunters guitarist Greg
Martin.

Angstrom, 26, is a 1990 UK graduate with a bach-
elor’s degree in arts administration. He started play—
ing itar at the age of 10.

“ first heard Kiss when I was in the first grade,” he
said. “For a while, I didn’t know that any other band
existed.”

Kiss’ influence can definitely be heard
in the Supafuzz sound, along with other
seventies guitar rockers.

“I always loved Led Zeppelin, Black :
Sabbath and Aerosmith,” he said. “Some ;
of my favorite guitarists are Johnny Win—
ter, Billy Gibbons and Jimi Hendrix.”

Touring is a great way to expand a
band’s fan base, and it’s a big priority for
Su afuzz.

hey have already performed with such
notables as Indiana rocker Henry Lee
Summer, lam metal gurus Motley Criie
and Ted ugent.

“We definite] want to go on the road
to support our alhum,” he said. “Travel is
really important.”

At this point, Supafuzz is concentrating
on local cities, includin Louisville. Hunt-
ington, Nashville, In ianapolis and, of
course, Lexington.

Angstrom agrees that the Lexington
has a respectable music scene.

“It just keeps growing and growing,” he
said. “It’s great that all the Lexington What would make me the happiest,”
bands support each other.” he said, “would be to keep playing music and making

The new album, to be released on Angstrom’s own records.”

Coda Records, is still in the works. Angstrom is going Swafuzz hits Lexin on once again tomorrow at
back in the studio to put on the finishing touches. the rocklage. Cretin op will open the show.

If you long to hear dirty, blues-based rock ’n’ roll
where sweat absolutely drips out of the speakers and
makes your room smell like a worn-out Thin Lizzy
T-shirt with Marlboro stains, maybe you should
check out Supafuzz.

Supafuzz was formed in late 1993 by
guitarist/vocalist David Angstrom, bassist Dean

mith and drummer Chris Hardesty.

The threesome was hungry to get something
going, so they got to ether and jammed in a music
store. Angstrom and mith are natives of Glas ow,
Ky., while Hardes hails from Bowling Green, y.

“I would descri e our music as powerful, blues-
based rock with heavy grooves,” Angstrom said.
