The idea has been tossed around
by student politicians for years, but
this semester it finally has come to
fruition: UK's Trade-A-Book Ser—
vice.

TABS provides students with a
place to sell and buy used text-
books, benefitting the wallets of
everyone — except campus book-
stores.

Sellers, for example. get more
more money for their used books
than they would from UK or Ken-
nedy bookstores.

And buyers save money, too, be-
cause the texts still are priced lower
than used books anywhere else.

“We've worked extremely hard
to answer students‘ complaints,"
said Rob Warrington, executive di-
rector of UK's Student Government
Association. which sponsors the
service.

“The btmk prices are extremely

Staff report

 

The Student Government Associ-
ation Supreme (‘ourt released the
text of its opinion yesterday con-
ceming a decision that allows Sen-
ate committee chairmen the right to
strike down bills before they reach
the full committee.

The final vote was 3-2 after the
court heard from Senators at large
Ryan l.ykins and Jennifer
Schwartz, who also is chairwomzm
of the Operations and Evaluations
Committee.

Lykins filed a complaint with
SGA because Schwartz threw out a
bill before it had a chance to reach
the full committee. Lykins ques-
tioned Schwartz‘s right, under the
SGA bylaws. to throw out a bill.

The court‘s opinion said such de-
cisions fall to the “discretion of the
chairperson to determine if hearing
of testimony is necessary. as well
as whether research should be
done."

The opinion said the power given
to the chairman might be seen as
contrary to the objective of the
committees. but there was not sup-

port “for concluding the opposite.“

The court also said there was a
safeguard in place to guard against
any abuse of the policy. If the com-
mittee does not move fast anough
on a bill, it can be brought before
the full Senate by having a request
signed by at least 20 senators.

(‘hief Justice Sarah (‘oursey and
associate justice Jill (‘ntnston gave
the dissenting opinion by saying
Article ill. Section 3(A), of the
SGA constitution clearly spells out
the powers of committee chairmen
as well as the general setup for
committees.

The constitution says nothing
about giving committee chairmen
“the power to arbitrarily toss out a
bill which he or she determines is
not worth considering," the opin-
ion stated.

The dissenting opinion warned
of possible abuses of this prece-
dent-setting decision.

“To hold that a committee chair
can decide what does and does not
get heard by a committee is to al-
low a dangerous policy of dictator-
like power in the hands of a few
committee chairs.

a major concern of students on cam-
pus.

“Students are paying too much
and receiving less for returns. (and)
this must be dealt with." he said.

Warrington said books sold
through TABS often are priced ay
half of what area bookstores charge.
Students also are free to negotiate
price.

By using TABS. students will be

store prices. said SGA Senator at

TABS also may have an affect on
the bookstores.

“(TABS) might take sales away
from the bookstore. which will be a
negative for us." UK bookstore
manager Paul Little said. “But it
will give students the right to
choose."

TABS does have some disadvan-
tages, Hennel said. Students may
not be able to find all the books
they‘re looking for.

Professors also may decide to use

newer editions of books. which can
be bought only in bookstores.

Hennel said TABS still is in its
growing stages.

Many students are not aware of
its presence.

“If students take advantage of it,
hopefully it will become campus-
wide." Hennel said.

tor Lora Week agreed: “('l‘ABS)

Women to see combat duty

 

By Susanne M. Schat‘fer
Associated Press

WASHINGTON -— The Navy
plans to put hundreds of female
sailors on aircraft caniers in 1994
in the first major deployment of
women on combat vessels. Navy
Secretary John Dalton said yester-
day.

Dalton. in an interview with de-
fertse writers. said plans call for
putting 400 to 500 women on sever-
al of the huge warships over the
coming year.

legislation lifting the ban on
women serving aboard combat ves-
sels was signed Tuesday by Presi-
dent Clinton.

Dalton said efforts are being
made in the post-Tailhook era to
help sailors adjust to the influx of
women.

"We have been in the process of
over a long period of time working
through this issue and dealing with
it in an effective and professional

way and we‘ll continue that into the
future as women go aboard combat
vessels." Dalton said.

He noted that it was the Navy
that proposed opening combat jobs
to women.

Despite the poor image that has
plagued the Navy since the Tail-
hook sex harassment scandal. Dal-
ton pledged the transition will be
accomplished smoothly

“In ’94. you‘ll see women serv-
ing aboard aircraft carriers. The
plan is to have 400 to 500 women
aboard three aircraft carriers by the
end of '94." he said.

“We will benefit from the experi-
ence that we've already had about
how to implement that. and leaming
from the lessons of the past in terms
of what we've already done,"

Navy officials said the USS
Dwight D. Eisenhower will take on
several hundred women in June.
followed by the USS Abraham l.in-
coin in September and the USS
John C. Stennis in December,

Women will also be assigned to

serve on destroyers and dock land-
ing ships. vessels that also are ex-
pected to be involved in combat.
Dalton did not specify numbers for
those deployments.

Dalton. asked about the new poli-
cy toward homosexuals in the mili-
tary. said the subject never arose
during visits to the fleet over the
past several months.

“i must have talked to 3.000 (to)
4.0(1) sailors. and the issue just nev-
er came up. The service personnel
think the policy makes sense and
will work." Dalton said.

Asked about the potential for the
harassment of gays in the military.
the secretary said. “i want everyone
in the naval service treated with
dignity and respect."

He said he did not believe that
saikirs harbor a “bad attitude" to.
ward any group or type of individu-
al "and i would not condone that."

Ceramics studio substitutes

as second home for student

 

By Nina Davidson
Arts Editor

 

The light dusting of freckles

match the title grains of ceramic
dust spnnkled across her red. faded
sweatshirt.

t‘ox. a 23-year-old an education
graduate student. is working dili-
gently on a ceramic tile piece late
Sunday evening

'Ihe ceramics studio is empty. ex-
cept for the hilt-finished projects
of her fellow students. but Cox pre-
fers to work til solitude.

"Our class is really big. 80 It‘s
just a madhoiisc sometimes." she
said

(‘ox said she ollen comes in at
odd hours “1 tind myself living
over here." she s.iid

The piece (M is working on is a
IZ-sided mosaic representing fertil-
ity' l‘he center tile depicts a preg-
nant woman clutching her swollen
abdomen. and the interconnecting
pieces t; inn;- sly Il/Cd suns and spi-
fills

(‘ox earctiiliy etches numbers on
the back or Ili;\ with a stylus to en—
sure that she will put them together
in the correct order. Ilcr stylus and
other tools rest in an antique steel
Coca-Cola can. ‘lhe can belongs to
her sister. who is unhappy with her
choice of containers

"l‘ve been chastised for putting
my clay tools in there.“ she said.
But she said she likes the character
of the can.

(‘ox said she conceived the piece
because fertility seems to be in the
air, "A lot of people this semester
that I know have had babies." she
said. “My sister‘s pregnant. And
I'm doing a paper in anthropology
on creativity. so it all came togeth-
er. I guess."

ller fertility work will not be fin-
ished in time for Open Studio. but
Cox said she will have other pieces
on display. including a vase. a
bowl. a mask and a pitcher in the
form of a bird.

UK art education graduate student Susan Cox lightly scores a
piece of her ceramic tile mosaic at the Reynolds Building.

Although her artwork is on dis-
play. shc is not selling any of her
pieces. “I have a hard time selling
artwork.“ she said. “I like to make
stuff for people. or give it away. or
exhibit it."

Cox said she doesn't remember
how long she has been working on
her fertility piece. “People always
ask me how long it takes me to do
my artwork. but I can never remem-
ber because I usually don‘t sit down
and do it all in one sitting and time

myself.“ she said.

Cox received an art studio de-
gree from James Madison Univer-
sity in Virginia. This is her first
year at UK and her first Open Stu-
dio.

She said Open Studio sounded
like a good idea “if people will
come over— it‘s so far away.“

However. she said art students
have always considered the Re-
ynolds Building a pan of campus.

“It‘s on campus to us,“ she said.
