Backers of state lottery say they hope education benefits

Associated Press

Many of those who voted for an amend-
ment that would allow a state lottery said
they hope revenue from the games will
help fund education as well as provide a
little pocket change.

The proposal carried by a margin of 3—to-
2 in Tuesday's election, and Gov. Wallace
Wilkinson said he will call a special legis-
lative session Nov. 28 to set up the
machinery to operate it.

Lotteries are nothing new to Lloyd
Patton. a 36-year-old unemployed
Salyersville resident. He has played them
in other states and never won but that
hasn't thwarted his enthusiasm.

”lt‘d bring more money for schools.“ he

said. “and bring me more money if I was
towinit."

Gracie Andrews. a 22-yearold Eastern
Kentucky University student. said she
voted for the lottery for the same reason.

“I want to win some money."

And Betty Adler, who is retired, voted
for the lottery in Hopkinsville.

“I play the horses, so why not play the
lottery too?” she asked.

The complete. unofficial tally showed
that 688,097 favored the idea and 439.877
were against it.

Ronnie Harrison. a 29-year~old factory
worker in Nicholasville. said "I've got four
kids, and I think education in this state
could be a lot better.“ The proposal passed
by a slight margin in his community.

There are still many across the state

who regard the lottery as the embodiment
of evil.

“It‘s biblically wrong; it‘s gambling."
said Barbara Hines. a Styear-old Russel-
lville housewde.

"I simply don't believe in gambling."
said Kathleen Shuler. who took her three
children to a polling place in rural Shelby
County.

“The state shouldn‘t be in the business of
running gambling. It‘s hard to explain to
kids that the state wants to rim a big gam
bling outfit,“

"You can make it legal. but you can't
make it right." said Sam Davis. 68. of Ta«
teville in southern Pulaski County. where
the amendment tailed “You'ic got to an
swer to these things. ’

Some people said they were against a

Computer virus won’t affect UK

By THOMAS .l. Sl'lil.l\'.\\'
Executive Editor

l'K officials are relieved that a comput—
er virus that swept through a nationwide
computer network last week didn‘t affect
the University's computers

But they say they will continue to keep a
watchful eye

A "virus” is a computer program that
can cause an infinite number of problems.
said Ken Kubota. a professor of both math-
ematics and computer science at UK

“It really depends on the particular
virus and how it's been designed and how
nasty the people are that designed it.” he
said.

A computer seience graduate student at
Cornell University is suspected of creating
a virus that spread throughout computers
across the country last week.

The virus could have spread to UK
through Unix Systems and Arpanet. which
connect to some of [IK‘s research desig-
nated computers.

The virus was designed to enter through
a bug or flaw in the system. said (ieiie Wil—
liams. vice president for information sys-
tems at [K

The virus that affected [my Systems
merely copied itself over and over in the
computer‘s memory. Kubota said The re-
sult was that the energy the infected com-
puter was using to copy the virus slowed
the rest of' the system down considerably
This problem escalated as the number of
virus programs grew

Officials will keep
close eye on system

"We had very few programs running
[the infectedl system and even fewer run-
ning ithe specifically infected t'nixt mail
program." said Herman (‘ollins lead sys-
tems coordinator, As a result. l'K‘s com-
puter was not immediately infected.

These factors gave l'K time to block the
entrance of the virus into any of the ini-
versity‘s computers by installing a “secu~
rity patch” over the systems flaw. Wil-
liams said

But while l'K computers are now im»
mune to this particular virus. that does not
mean they are safe from future
infection

.lohn Connolly. director of the center for
computational sciences. said t'K is keep
ing a watchful eye open for virus infection.

Connolly said computer viruses are com-
parable to those that infect human beings.

Just as no one is immune to all viruses
that affect humans, no computer is im»
mune to all its possible viruses. he said.

(‘omputers have had virus infections in
the past The most recent incident oc-
curred about a year ago. t‘onnolly said.

"it was called ‘Christmas Exec.‘ " Con-
nolly said "If you executed the program it
would send a copy of \llSOlfl to everyone in
your address file. "

At the time. (‘onnolly had more than too
people in his address file

Connolly said that the results could have
been worse if everyone at the l'niverSity

had executed the program. resulting in
overloading the memory But the problem
was caught in time

These “self copying" \ irus programs are
relatively harmless. though. v. hen cont
pared to the potential damage a \ iriis tan
do. l'K officials said Erased tiles. dcstriic
tion of software or any other imaginable
catastrophe is possible depending on the
virus program. Kiibota said

Programs can be written to do ._
anything. Kubota said

['K is just keeping its fingers crossed for
the moment. Williams said

Security will not be increased substan
tially because of security cost and the
amount of operating memory it would l.ll\'t'
up. Kubota said And security isn't guarr
anteed protection

"You're never going to get a system
that‘s fool proof." ('onnolly said No mat
ter how many doors or sophisticated locks
you put on a door "a clever person can
come in and pick the locks "

l'K's only fear now (‘onnolly said. l>
that a student will try to copy the idea and
create a virus

“About every year or so we have stu
dents who think of this." t‘ollins said But
the students eventually are caught and dis
ciplined by the dean of students office

Last two games important, if UK plans to go ‘Bowl-ing’

When the season started, nobody

prognosticators saw the UK foot-

maybe four. But now, these same

The chase for the Southeastern

Florida is one team that need not

LSU has visions of an SEC title

The Tigers better not count their

ball is a way of life in Tennessee.
The fans have always been there."

Commonwealth Stadium has a
capacity of 57,800. The home atten-
dance average for UK games is
47,963. UK has a winning record,
but UK fans don‘t even fill the
third smallest stadium in the con-
ference.

Why?

“I don‘t know why,“ UK assis-
tant sports informantion director
Joey Howard said. “The students
just are not picking up their tickets
this year."

There have been fewer tickets
picked up by the students for this
week's game against Florida than
there have been so far this year,
Howard said.

The players are really starting to
take notice to this fact. That's bad
when the players start to wonder
why there are empty seats when
they are 5-4 and in contention for a
bowl.

“It‘s rough on you to look out
there and see so many empty
seats,“ UK linebacker Randy Hol-

Tom Spaldlng

leran said after the Vanderbilt
game. "It makes you think that
you are not doing something
right.“

The coach has even noticed the
poor home attendance. Of course.
who wouldn‘t notice the numerous
empty seats?

“I don't know why that there
would be so many empty seats,“
UK coach Jerry Claiborne said,
“because this is an exciting foot~
ballteam."

Poor attandence at Saturday‘s
Florida game could send a bad
message to the minds of bowl
scouts. Good attendence at the
game could really help UK's bowl
chances.

Scouts for the All-American Bowl
and the Peach Bowl will be in at-
tendance for Saturday’s game

pealing by adding extra songs to
the disc versions that cannot be ob
tained on their vinyl counterparts.
They also have begun reducing the
prices on most of their older
material which iii this case can
mean as little as eight months
agoi. that have made their prices
as comparable as records

While some artists, such as
Frank Zappa. have used the digital
medium to enhance their music.
some have seen it as a way to add
to their already hefty bank ac
counts. Some artists, such as David
Bowie. have bought up the rights to
their entire backlog of albums lll
order to avoid them being released
as mid-line priced (‘l)'s.

I myself own a compact disc
player so this column might seem
to start taking on a hypocritical
air. I do enjoy the cleaner, crisper
sound they have over vinyl, which
after only a lew spins on the turn
table. starts to develop some static
that becomes noticeable in quiet
passages ,

With the election
over, it’s time to
get down to work

One of the amazing aspects of a democratic government
is its ability to carry on following an election of name-
calling, finger-pointing and mudslinging.

Tuesday night

when Presidentelect George Bush

claimed victory. he told his cheering supporters that he
had received a phone call earlier in the evening from his

opponent, Michael

Dukakis,

congratulating him and

wishing him the best of luck as our nation’s 4lst president.

In some nations. the losing party would either sulk over
its loss or pull out of the government altogether.

But in American politics both sides usually put the cam-
paign rhetoric behind them after election day and worry

about serving the people.

This election will be no exception.

When Bush takes his oath of office Jan. 20. 1989. prob-
lems like the deficit, social security. health care for the
elderly. education and defense will not have gone away.
They still will need to be solved in a bipartisan manner.

And since it was a rare occasion for issues to be dis-

cussed during this

year’s

campaign, the incoming

administration needs to begin thinking about how it is
going to handle some of those problems.

Presidentelect Bush will have to deal with 3 Congress
that is more Democratic than at any point during the
Reagan years. and in order for the Bush years to be pro—
ductive. effective compromises will have to be worked out
between the White House and Congress.

t'nlike 1980 when the American people voted for an
ideology. Tuesday the American people voted for a candi-
date they perceived as the lesser of two evils.

There was no message or vision presented to voters this
year like the one Ronald Reagan gave eight years ago.
with the exception of the vague promise to somehow keep
peace and prosperity without any major spending cuts or

increased taxes.

Bush and his administration have a lot of holes to fill
and little time to do it before Jan. 20. In formulating his
