Bowie to perform with
largest stage show ever

By ERIK REECE
Arts Editor

This story contains the opinions and
observations of the writer.

When David Bowie fell to earth,
what rock ‘n‘ roll got was its first le-
gitimate chameleon.

Tonight at Rupp Arena, Bowie will
perform in front of 50-plus tons of
stage equipment (the most ever for
a rock act). and you can see for
yourself what “color" Bowie cur-
rently wears.

Of course change has always been
the name of the game for Bowie.
Other performers go through

stages; Bowie goes through genres
and personas. Bowie was playing
the androgeny game long before
Prince spoke his dirty mind.

For Bowie. rock has always
seemed only a game by which he
was eaSily and quickly bored. He
would jettison one style only to
emerge a full-fledge convert to an-
other style. which he would in turn
also chuck away. It is as if Bowie is
playing frisbee with his styles,
which some critics suggest is the

only thing his most recent albums
are good for.

Perhaps it is the fact that so much
comes so easy for Bowie that most
annoys his critics. Bowie is a singer,
an actor, an artist and. perhaps
above all. an opportunist leg. the
current Pepsi commercials).

Where there was money to be
made, Bowie made it. Where there
was ground to be broken, Bowie
broke it on an international level
while others. who may have
achieved the same thing before
Bowie, had to be content with recog-
nition on a smaller scale.

Ministry’s program to match students with jobs

By STEVE BRAGG
Contributing Writer

Anna Sisto was looking for some-
thing to add to her life. A new pro-
gram sponsored by the United Cam-
pus Ministry has given her that
addition.

Communities in Unity is a pro-
gram designed to help UK students
find volunteer positions in the com-
munity. Sisto acts as the student
leader.

“We (CIU) act as sort of a clear-
ing house for the students. Commu-
nity groups (such as the Salvation
Army) call is and we call the stu‘
dents." Sisto said. “It keeps the stu-
dents from having to go out and find
these jobs on their own. "

Sisto. a law student from Barth-
town. said the program began in the
spring of 1m, but it got started too
late and really didn't begin to serve
the community until this summer.

No to three groups of students
worked at the Salvation Army this
summer. cooking and serving food
to the homeless.

“I really enjoy doing it. It adds to
my life - doing for others.“ Sisto
said.

Barb Baines, supervisor of the
Salvation Army's kitchen. said the
students came in on Sundays and
helped the street people. “They en-
joyed their work. and were very
good workers." Baines said. “They
wereabighelp."

Jim Akin, director of UCM for the
past three years. is credited by Sisto
as one of the founders of the pro-
gram. “I and others at UCM were
concerned with the lack of volunteer
work in Fayette County by UK."
Akin said. “There was a lack of un-
derstanding of need"

Akin said he thought if people at
UK knew of the need. they would re-
spond. Akin contacted David Lakin

Clarifications

A story in Thursday‘s Kernel con-
tained some unclear information.

Charles O'Neill. a UK staff psy-
chologist. works at UK‘s Corniselirg

and Testing Center, located in Fra-
zeeHall.

A cutline in Friday‘s paper incur.
rectly identified the Lady Kat mas-
cot.

of Campus Opportunity Outreach
League (COOL). who has helped
start similar programs at other uni-
versities.

“I invited him (Lakim to UK in
January. He couldn‘t make it and
that held up our plans." Akin said.
“The week we decided to advertise
for volunteers, Lakin called and said
he was in town. He stayed and
worked the entire week."

[akin held a meeting that week
and 25-1!) students attended. “There
is a genuine interest." Akin said.

Akin said that so far. the program
has only served the Salvation Amy.
but the program’s goal is to help all

agencies, including Big Brothers
and the Community Kitchen.

Joyce Poole. student associate di-
rector of UCM, has held that posi-
tion for just Over a month. yet she
feels it has already enriched her
life. “I think God was leading me to
this. I think it will be fantastic."
Poole said. “It will be very reward-
ing."

“It's nice to step back and give
something instead of always tak-
ing." Sisto said.

Akin said headquarters for the
program have yet to be established
because of a lack of funds.

this weekend.

The fights occurred Friday in the
Complex Commons quadrangle and
Saturday night in the fraternity‘s
house. both parties said.

“We had a nice friendly meeting.“
Claiborne said. “There‘s a conflict
of stories. Our players said one
thing and they tthe fraternity mem-
bersl said another.”

Pike President Jeff Ashley said
that a group of people. some of
whom he recognized as L'K football
players. entered the fraternity‘s
house at 459 Huguelet Ave. between
9 and 9:30 Saturday night and
started fighting.

He said members of the group had
their hands taped and carried
weights. Ashley said that he saw two

though they and other football play-
ers were present Saturday night. no
football players were involved in the
fighting.

Both parties said Saturday's fight
was related to what happened Fri<
day night.

ing the fraternity‘s party on Friday
night. some reserve football players
began beating on a table and bench
inside the house with two-by-fours
and were asked to leave.

fight. members of the fraternity
“jumped" several friends of football
players and "beat them up pretty
badly "

Johnson said that Saturday night.
these friends "just went back for a
little revenge '

“Not one football player threw a
punch.” Johnson said. "We knew
that if football players got involved.
the sissy frat boys would blow it out
of proportion “

“The guys involwd weren't even
dressing." Claiborne said. "I don‘t
know who all was exactly involved

Claiborne said he wasn‘t going to
take any action but would let the
parties involved take care of it.

"This is not my business.”

One of America‘s more popular
pastimes is tailgating before college
football games. Saturday. several
thousand people turned out before
UK’s first home game of the season
to keep the tradition alive.

Barbara Lyons of Spanish Port.
Ala., said she and her husband come
to several UK football games each
season with their friends to visit
their daughter, Ann.

“For the first football game 1 al.
ways paint my face blue and white
just to get into the spirit.“ she said.
“We grill out hotdogs and hamburg-
ers. It's just one big party."

People tailgate for a variety of
reasons.

Tom Wilson. a biology junior. said
he tailgates for the social reasons.

“I want to check out all the fab—
ulous babes in the parking lot." Wil-
son said.

Wilson‘s friend. Steve Rush. a
journalism senior. said he tailgates
about three times each season.

“We bring drinks. lots of food and
turn up the music really loud,“ he
said.
