Change in seating for games draws fire from students

University of Kentucky. Lexington. Kentucky

By TIA SILVERTHORNE
Contributing Writer

Home field advantage.

It terrifies UK’s basketball adver-
saries.

This tenor —— created in part by
UK students who stand. cheer and
often boo throughout the games —
has brought high praise from UK
coach Rick Pitino.

However, some season ticket
holders in Rupp Arena's Section 30

are less than complimentary about
the students. who often remain
standing throughout games. The
season ticket holders, many of
whom are UK alumni. say they
can't see all the action on the court
because the chanting students par-
tially block their view.

As a result, UK temporarily has
changed the seating arrangements
for the University‘s band members.

The band, formerly in Section 33,
now sits in Section 31. The band

also was asked to remain seated
during games. The band director
agreed to the request.

Larry Ivy, associate athletics di-
rector for internal affairs, said the
decision was necessary because
some elderly people who sit in sec-
tion 30 are not able to stand
throughout an entire game so they
can see over the students.

Ivy said the band section — rath-
er than the student section —— was
moved because it is easier to con-

trol whether the band sits or stands
than it is to control the actions of
individual students. He also empha-
sized that the new change in seating
was still up for review.

“After the Arizona State game
(the Ticket Committee) Will try to
arrive at a final solution,” he said.

“The people in Section 30 are
pleased they can see the entire
court," lvy said.

But students are far from pleased.

During the UK-South West Tex-

as game. 279 students demonstrated
their disapproval about the new
seating arrangement by signing a
petition to move the hand back to
Section 33.

Organizers of the petition drive
said the change in seating was un-
fair to students as tiell as band
members.

They also said a small part of the
crowd should not control the stu-
dents who are there to support the
team.

 

Professor
introduces
‘hybrid art’

By JOHN DYER FORT
Assistant Arts Editor

Professor Shawn Brixey’s art
studio/office looks like Doc's
home workshop in the movie
“Back to the Future." Brixey, pro-
fessor of new genre in the UK
College of Fine Arts, is an elec-
tronic wizard who can fix TVs.
video cameras and other equip-
ment.

Brixey's video art students will
present their works tonight in a
show called “Interface In Yer
Face," at the Old Student Center
Theatre. Show times are 8 and 10
pm, and admission is $1.

Brixey. a graduate of the Kansas
City Art Institute, received his
masters from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology in an art
and science interdisciplinary pro-
gram. He came to UK in fall 1990
to instruct in “all new genres, in-
cluding videos. performance art.
conceptual art and electronic and
sound art pieces." Brixey said.

Tonight's inaugural student vid-
eo showcase, co-sponsored by the
Student Activities Board Perform-
ing Arts Collective, Brixey hopes,
will become a production every
semester.

Brixey also hopes to showcase
his students work on a 30 minute
local cable show. ”It would be
kind of a cross between Liquid
Television, ‘Twin Peaks’ and
something completely unknown
yet." Brixey said.

“Interface" showcases a semes-
ter‘s intensive work by 14 student

artists working in the UK Video/
Media Lab. Each video is a short
work that represents hundreds of
hours of experimental video shoot—
ing and studio remixing tech-
niques.

The result is an exciting, inno—

vative production using sophisti-
cated techniques like those made
famous by MTV’s music videos.

“When I asked my students what
the common themes to their \ ideos
were," Brixey said, “first they said
sex, then they said torture. But

Awarded a full-year internship at

would find the good life, away from
the budget cuts that plague all of
American higher education.

As irony would have it. Brown.
an American Council for Education
fellow. walked right into another
budget cut.

He is spending the year shadow-
ing Chancellor for the Lexington
Campus Robert Hemenway, leam-
ing the administration of a universi—

And when the budget cuts came,
he got a stiff lesson.

Audiotapes ‘vital’ component
of library special collections

By AMY DOWNEY
Contributing Writer

Audrey GreVious‘ v0icc is one of
about 300 housed in the Universi-
ty's special collections in the Mar-
garet l. King Library.

Grcvious recounts what happened
in downtown Lexington one day
during the early '60s when a small
group of blacks attempted to enter
an all-white lunch counter.

“Of course, when we got ready to
go in, the chain was closed," Grcvi-
ous said. “We were standing there.
It was my turn to be on the front of
the line. He had the chain. He took

the chain. He jUSl kept swinging it
and hitting me on the leg."

This is just one of many stories
that are brought to life through the
transcription of black oral history
tapes. which supplement primary
resources at UK's library.

The recorded voices belong to
some prominent blacks such as
Harry Sykes, Lexington’s first
black city councilman, and PG.
Pecples. Lexington lirban League
executive director.

Terry Birdwhistell, director of
oral history at King. said the tapes
are a vital part of the library.

"To have a well~rountled univcr~

sity, we must incorporate black his—
tory (in our library). We have loads
of information on the white male.
but material on blacks is almost
nonexistent." he said.

Three of the protects currently be-
ing transcribed are “Blacks in Lex-
ington," “Blacks in Kentucky" and
”The Black Church in Kentucky

liitcniews for the various pro-
jCClS were conducted by students,
professors and Emily Parker, wife
of William Parker. former UK chatt-
cellor for minority affairs.

closed the university for three days.

Needless to say, Brown was sur«
prised when UK‘s budget cut was
mandated by former Gov. Wallace
Wilkinson.

He has been able to be of assis-
tance to UK by relating his experi—
ences at Michigan State.

Brown said in the earl)

industrial economy went down and
affected Michigan State so horribly
that the university was shut down

tailed. several piograms were closed

Making the grade

Enrollment increase traced to non-traditional student boom

Associated Press

MOREHEAD, Ky. —— Recent in-
creases in enrollment at Kentucky‘s
state—supported universities can be
traced partly to a growing number
of “non-traditional" students. olti-
cials say

Between 1981 and 1990, the per»
centage of non—traditional students
at state schools — students 25 and
older -... increased from 35 percent
to 40 percent of total enrollment.

UK has experienced little under-
graduate growth on its Lexington
Campus in recent years. Howexer.
enrollment is up about 5 percent
this year ——-— the largest increase in
more than a decade.

Joseph Fink, director of admis-
sions. attributes the increase to
more aggressive recruiting of top-
levcl students. The message that

UK has been attracting better stu-
dents in recent years. Fink said. “is
getting out."

At Eastem Kentucky University,
for example. the number of stu-
dents 35 and older has doubled
since l‘ib‘5, from 2,769 to 5M3.
said John Rowlett, EKU's \ite
president for academic affairs.

Roulctt said he believes older
people who come back to school
think education vvill help improve
“their lots in lite." Nursing and oth»
er health-related fields are grtWHIIll
most rapidb at EKU. he said.

While school officials welcome
the additional students. the) ac
knowledge that current and future
state budget cutbacks for higher ed-
ucation could complicate the situa—
tion

"One of the decisions we may
hate to make is limiting enroll-

 

ment,“ said David Jorcns, Northern
Kentucky University vice president
for academic affairs.

Jorens also fears NKU may have
to use more pan-time faculty mem-
bers, who are less expensive to hire
but often less-qualified than full-
time professors.

Preliminary figures gathered by
The Courier-Joumal show full-time
and part-time enrollment at the
eight universities and 14 communi—
ty colleges is up 5.3 percent this fall
from last year. It is the sixth straight
year enrollments have risen.

At Morehead State University,
lormer nurse Mary Jaynes enrolled
four years ago after anhritis forced
her to give up nursing. She will
graduate next month with a busi-
ness‘management degree.

“I’d like to go into hospital ad-
ministration if I can find a job in

that area," said Jayncs, 43, of Vol-
ga in Johnson County. "But a job in
a bank wouldn’t be too bad."

This year's enrollment increases
ranged from less than 1 percent at
Kentucky State University to more
than 10 percent in the UK Commu-
nity College System.

The University of Louisville's
enrollment dropped by 35 students.
but U of L spokeswoman Denise
Fitzpatrick said that was because of
increased admission standards in
some programs.

In addition to the non-traditional
students, officials say more high
school graduates are going directly
to college, and that the number of
off-campus courses is growing.

The Southern Regional Educa-
tion Board recently reported that
Kentucky led the other 14 states in
the region in the percentage of pub-
lic high school graduates who en-
tered college in 1988, the most re-
cent year for which comparable
statistics were available.

Kentucky’s 58 percent was 7 per-

cent above the regional average and
5 percent above the national aver-
age. Two decades ago, fewer than
40 percent of Kentucky's high
school graduates entered college
immediately.

The growth of the community
colleges is another reason enroll-
ment is increasing, said Rowlett, Of
EKU, and others.

The total enrollment at state
schools grew by 28 percent from
1981 to 1990-— but only 12 percent
of it at four-year universities. ac-
cording to figures from the state
Council on Higher Education.
Meanwhile, enrollments at two-year
community colleges increased by
50 percent.

'niat boom in community-college
enrollments may be pan of the rea-
son some universities are seeing
freshman enrollments drop. Contin-
ued overall increases at the four-
year schools also may reflect an in-
creasing number of transfer stu-
dents, many of whom are graduates
of two-year college programs or of

other off-campus centers operated
by the state’s regional universities.

Another facet of the enrollment
picture is that more women than
men are attending college, said
Ronnie Sutton, dean of academic
services at Western Kentucky Uni—
versity.

Women now constitute 60 per-
cent of WKU's enrollment, com-
pared with only about 50 percent a
decade ago, he said.

He and officials at other schools
attribute the rise to increased em-
ployment opponunities for women
requiring more education.

Some officials believe burgeon-
ing undergraduate enrollments will
not continue, primarily because the
pool of high school graduates is de—
clining in Kentucky and nation-
wide.

But if college enrollments contin-
ue to increase and if budgets re-
main tight, many of the schools
may have to raise admission stan-
dards to avoid larger classes.

It you haye a musical sweet tooth.
beware Candy talks, candy plays
and candy sings.

Candy Says. a Lexington~based
quartet that has just released its first
recording. serves up a seductive and
irresistible selection of musical con-
tections.

Candy Says will celebrate the re-
lease of its new EP next Friday
night with a “tape release party“ at
the Wrocklage. said Keith Coleriian.
the group‘s bassist.

Six songs on the release. In 'lly
H. were. are as delicate as cotton can~
dy. as soothing as a cherry cough
drop and as smooth as a root beer
lloai. But the music is no mere lTuft.
Behind the melodic. rich voice of
singer Aleah Metzger is an evoca-
tive edge provided by Coleman,
guitarist R. R. (just “R" to his
friends) Homback and drummer Jay
Baker.

Coleman describes the band's
sound as a “ ‘60s meets ‘90s" fu—

sion.

In many ways, the music can be
likened to 10,000 Maniacs or the
Cowboy Junkies. The sound is me-
lodic, smooth as liquid and has its
own dreamy context. Undemeath it
is a technical finesse and control
that is powerful. rhythmic and so-
phisticated.

Metzger's voice, at once the most
mesmeric and stirring feature. is
rich, full‘bodied and extremely
feminine. Her laid back. syrupy
voice fits comfortably in the groove
of the band‘s music.

Met/.ger‘s vocals are supported
by the musical craftsmanship of
Coleman. Homback and Baker.
Coleman‘s inventive bass, especial-
ly on “In My House," provides a
driven, flowing rhythrii. Homback
ascends to harmony heaven with
his sophisticated. soft chord pro-
gressions.

The result is a deceptively simple
melding of musical moods that are
transcendent, stirring and evoca-
U\‘t‘.

The band's music is the result of

forter and the Kleenex. Here's a

list of holiday favorites yule

tribute to Christmas of the l940s.
This story of Ralphie. the kid
who wanted a Red Ryder BB.
gun for Christmas, is narrated his
lanously by a now grown-up
Ralphie. The whole holiday-
ravaged American nuclear tarni-
ly is here: a father obsessed with
the perfect decorations, a mother
bewildered by Lhe whole Christ-
mas ritual. and a little brother
forch to wear so many layers
under his snowsutt that when he
falls down his legs and arms
helplessly tread the air until big
brother can help him up

-"-\ Christmas Carol“
«twist: The original adaptation
of the Charles Dickens classic is
gritty, dark and chilling. Sitting
in his cold. cheap. dirty room
eating broth on Chnstmas Eve,
Scrooge is pitiable and incan-
spirited at the same time. He‘s
ripe for a visit from his old, dead
friend Marley A classic tale of
redemption guaranteed to move
you into the holiday spirit.

-“Scrooged" lltlfy‘éii: Tonguc~
in-cheek retelling of the Dick-
ens talc. Armed with a 1980s
“Greed is good" mentality. Bill
Murray meets his own modem
demons in the form of a spectral
New York cab driver, a spacey,
absent-minded Carol Kane as the
Faerie of Christmas Present and
a 7-foot, headless messenger of
Christmas Future.

~“Your Christmas Yule Log
Fireplace" (19%): This 5‘)—
niinute video turns your TV into
a raging. crackling fireplace.
That's lI Includes Christmas tar-
ois. Great for parties and anyone
who doesn’t have a fireplace

-“Miracle On 34th Street"
(I947I: A department store Santa

 

 

Christmas season is
represented in an array
of yuletide videos

named Kris Kringle claims he‘s
the real Santa Claus. One little
girl (Natalie Wood) wants to be-
lieve him. but her mother
doesn’t. The case winds up in
court and with a little courtroom
magic, the miracle of Santa is re-
vealed. Winner of three Oscars.

-“lt‘s A Wonderful Life"
(1946): Well, ah, ah, well, ah,
Jimmy Stew-Stewart stars, you
see, and it‘s ju-just plain good.
Stewart, feeling like a failure,
thinks everybody would be bet»
ter off if he‘d never lived. On the
brink of suicide, Stewart is es-
corted on a holiday vision of
what would have happened A. to
his family. his friends. his town
—» if indeed he‘d never been
bom. Originally not well re—
ceived, Frank Caprii’s feel—good
story has become a TV holiday
classic

-“National Lampoon‘s
Christmas Vacation" (1989‘):
The Griswolds do Christmas

with the same inane. bumbling
charm with which they traveled
America and Europe. Christmas
is almost ruined. Chevy Chase
decorates his house With 25,000
bulbs and Randy Quaid stands
around in a Thorazineoinduced
holiday mood.

-“Silent Night. Deadly
Night" (1984): Original. uncut
version now available on video.
Little Billy witnesses the slaugh—
ter of mom and dad by a psy-
chotic Santa Claus. Christmas is
just never the same. Great flick
if you hate the holidays and feel
like ringing the necks of carol-
ers, Salvation Army bell-ringers
and other holiday zombies.

-“Peanuts Christmas Spe-
cial” (1970): The holiday season
just doesn‘t quite get in gear un-
til Snoopy over—decorates his
dog house, the Peanuts gang puts
on their Christmas show and
shamefully slams Charlie Brown
for buying that pathetic. diseased
little tree. Features that wonder-
ful. evocative soundscore by the
Vince Guaraldi jazz It'll).

a four-way collaboration that is a
process of musical give and take.
It‘s like a big glob of clay sculpted
by four pairs of hands.

“In My House," the fifth song
written by the band, proved to be a
turning point for the group. What
started as a bass suggestion by
Coleman sprang to life spontane-
ously in one of the group's writing
sessions.

Candy Says, which formed last
spring, has quickly gained recogni-
tion on the Lexington band scene.
The group took its name from the
Velvet Underground song of the
same name because “Lou Reed
once said ‘Not many people have
bought Velvet Underground
records, but everybody that did
fomied a band,‘ " Coleman said.

The band recorded its EP this fall
and enlisted the technical help of
David Barrick of Reel World Studi-
os.

Candy Says will perform Friday.
Dec. 20 at the Wrocklage with
Ilula~lloop. Admission is $3}.

When President Kennedy was as»
sassinated on Nov. 22, 1963, many
Americans felt that they had lost
something more important than a
man — something that was some—
how largcr, that personified and
symbolized the hopes and aspira»
tions of those who wanted to move
forward with new ideals about the
future of America and where it was
headed.

The first new reports of the assas-
sination left an indelible impression
on anyone who was at least 5 years
old at the time, just as Pearl Harbor
and the Great Depression did to the
previous generations.

Almost everyone who was alive
at the time of Kennedy‘s assassina—
tion can remember where they were
and what they were doing when
they first heard the news,

My own personal interest in the
assassination began when l was 6
years old. sick at home front school
watching the daytime game shows
on a black and white television set.
I couldn't understand how someone
was able to shoot the president so
easily. And when Jack Ruby shot
and klllC( “alleged" assassin Lee
Harvey Oswald two days later while
Oswald was in custody of the Dal-
las police, I began to think that
something wasn't right about the
whole scenario. Even though 1 was
only a child. I began to wonder
what really happened.

Once you start looking at and
evaluating the evidence relating to
it, I believe that any rational. think-
ing person could only reach the con-
clusion that a conspiracy was in—
volved at the highest level of the
United States government and that
Oswald did not fire any shots at
President Kennedy. And that he
was. as he stated in his own words.
“just a patsy."

It's not easy for anyone, myself
included, to believe that the govem~
ment was involved in the murder of
President Kennedy, but the cold,
hard facts, once they have been un-
covered and brought to light, con-
firm this beyond a reasonable
doubt.

The US. Justice Department conv
tiriucs to ignore relevant and impor-
tant evidence that has surfaced since
the assassination, which would im-
plicate individuals who have
worked in the govemment or the
CIA during the last 30 years, in an
obvious attempt to protect the ca-
reers and reputations of those in
volved.

On Dec. 20, the motion picture
“JFK," directed by Oliver Stone.
Will open in theaters all across the
country. I hope this well»rcsearchcd

titled In My House. The group will have a release party next Friday at the Wrocklage.

Many books give insight to JFK killing

The JFK Assassination:
A Continuing Conspiracy

 

again inspire people to take another
look at one of the most tragic
events in American history and re-
kindle the debate about who was
really responsible for Kennedy‘s
murder.

I would like to suggest some
good books for anyone who has an
interest in finding out what actually
happened Nov. 23. 1963 and why it
happened. This is not a complete
listing by any means, btit it does
represent what I believe is the best
reading available on the Kennedy
assassination.

I will begin with two books that
Oliver Stone is using as a basis for
his fllfll. ()n the hail of Assassins.
(first published in 1988} by former
New Orleans District Attorney Jim
Gamson, chronicles his attempt to
bring the true conspirators and as-
sassins to trial. Garrison takes the
reader clue by clue through his in-
vestigation in 1967, and reveals the
Warren Commission's blind omis»
sion of the facts, as well as the Dal»
las police department‘s outright lies
and deceptions and the mysterious
deaths of key witnesses in the case
just before testimony.

Jim Marrs‘ (,'rtiy.iftn" The Plot
'l'hat Killed Kennedy (198%. is the
other book that Stone has used as
reference material for “JFK." and it
IS one of the most thorough books
available to date about the assassi—
nation. Marrs discusses the motives
of individuals behind various con-
spiracy findings and places the FBI,
the CIA, the Mafia and the Ameri~
can military structure under close
scrutiny about their involvement.
He also provides convincing evr-
dciicc that dciiiotistrates the implau-
sibility that Oswald acted alone.

One of the best if not the best

books on the assassination is
High 'l'retirnn by Robert J. Grodcn
and Ilarrison Edward Livingstone
ll‘lbth. This book is based on 23
years of research and is the most
toniprchcnsiyc synthesis of the CH-
deiicc ever presented.

(iroden and I.l\ ingstone have put
together pieces of the Kennedy as-
sassination mystery that provides
chilling evidence of a well

organized conspiracy to kill the
president. The book also contains
very graphic autopsy photographs
of Kennedy’s head wounds, which
have never been previously availa-
ble to the public.

David S. Lifton’s Best Evidence
(1982) is a highly detailed study of
the strange doings with Kennedy‘s
body in the 12 hours following the
shooting. Lifton's theory states that
Kennedy‘s wounds were surgically
altered to produce a false autopsy
report that would disguise proof of
a conspiracy, thus compromising
what is known in a court of law as
the “best evidence" in a murder
case — the body.

The book also describes in metic‘
ulous detail the contradictory autop-
sies performed on Kennedy in Dal-
