Insurance bill
stalls in Senate
despite protest

By NICK COMER
Senior Staff Writer

FRANKFORT. Ky. —- One col-
lege student at Friday's rally oppos-
ing student health insurance held a
sign that read, “Mandatory insu-
rance - NOT.”

Before the end of the morning
Senate session, lawmakers had cast
a “not” vote of its own, defeating a
petition that would have brought a
bill to repeal the insurance require-
ment to the Senate floor for a vote.

The vote to bring the bill to the
floor fell 13 votes short of passing
and went along party lines.

Friday’s session followed a rally
in the Capitol rotunda attended by
more than 50 college students who
opposed the law that requires full-
time and some part-time college
students to have health insurance.

Sen. David Williams (R-
Burkesville), who led the attempt to
bring the repeal bill to the Senate
floor, spoke at the rally.

He pointed out that a bill to re-
peal the insurance requirement
passed overwhelmingly in the
House and “should be on the Senate
consent calendar.”

The consent calendar usually
contains the bills expected to pass

easily.

The bill remains lodged in the
Senate Health and Welfare Com-
mittee where chairman Sen. Benny
Ray Bailey (D-Hindman) has
vowed to let it die.

“I think if you'll look back, every
one of them voted for that bill
(which required student health
care),” Bailey said.

Sen. John Rogers (ll-Somerset)
said when the law was passed, the
senators didn’t realize that the insu-
rance policy would be so expensive.

Following the vote, student body
presidents vowed to continue pres-
suring Bailey and the Senate to act
on the repeal measure.

“The only thing we can do is ap-
peal to the Democratic leadership
and the health and welfare commit-
tee and hope that they will allow
this bill to be heard on the Senate
floor." said Scott Crosbie, president
of the UK Student Government As-
sociation.

Heather Falmlen, chairwoman of
the Board of Student Body Presi-
dents, said she would continue to
pressure Bailey to bring the bill be-
fore his committee.

Falmlen is the student body presi—
dent at Western Kentucky Universi-

ty.

Promise of funding
for library removed

By GREGORY A. HALL
Associate Editor

The UK administration isn't wor-
ried about a change made in the pro-
posed state budget that removes a
commitment to fund its new library
in the 1994-96 biennium.

The House Appropriations and
Revenue Committee approved the
budget on Friday, and the full
House is expected to vote this week.

The change still allows UK to use
the $12 million it has raised from
private sources to pay for the design
phase of the new library.

“In my mind that carries a com-
miunent in itself,” said UK Vice
President for Administration Don-
ald Clapp.

“Obviously, we would hope that
the commitment that was in there to

begin with would not be dimin-
ished. and we would plan to move
on ahead with the project on the as-
sumption that it would be funded in
either case," he said.

Clapp said UK will work to have

the language that was in the budget
when it was considered by the Sen-
ate put back.

Sen. Michael Moloney (D-
Lexington) said he will work for
more of a commitment in the bud-
get because the library is “essential
for the state, not just the Universi-
ty.”

But Moloney, chairman of the
Senate Appropriations and Revenue
Committee, said he doesn't know
how his committee will vote when
it works on the budget next week.

Clapp said the House commit-
tee's vote expressed concern about
the state’s indebtedness, not the
worth of the library project.

In discussions with legislators,
never has anyone questioned the
need for the project, he said.

Pan of the reasoning behind
UK's fund-raiser was to show legis-
lators popular support for the pro-
ject so that it would be funded.

Clapp said legislators have said

tell him where the Southwest was.
He only needed the feel of the

And so it was when Cawood
Ledford sat in the padded purple
vinyl chairs of Rupp Arena‘s

“When 1 was growing up in the
mountains of Eastern Kentucky, 1

was Kentucky basketball to me,"
said Richie Farmer, UK‘s senior
captain, after the game.

“1 know a lot of young people

Some of 'em are basketball
players, some of ‘em are wres-
tlers and country singers. One of
mine was Cawood Ledford."

Cawood first came to me

Crosbie ask
SGA court
to reconsider
its decision

By BRIAN BENNETT
Staff Writer

Student Government Association
President Scott Crosbie asked the
Judicial Board Friday to reconsider
a recent decision concerning the
power a referendum holds.

The board ruled last week that a
referendum, and in particular the
election reform proposal, does not
have the power of law. It is merely
a survey.

Crosbie contends that because
Chief Justice Ken Walker was con-
sidering a candidacy for SGA presi-
dent, Walker’s involvement in last
week's ruling was a conflict of in-
terest.

“He had a vested interest in the
decision,” Crosbie said. “In fairness
to all parties, I felt it was inequita-
his."

The case was brought to the
board by former SGA President
Cyndi Weaver.

Crosbie said since Walker was
considering running for SGA Presi-
dent at the time of the ruling, he
may have influenced the decision
to his advantage.

The controversy could have cast-
ly been avoided. he said.

“I truly wish that if Ken was con-
sidering ninning two or three
weeks ago, that he would have tak-
en that into consideration and
stepped down from the board so
that none of this would have oc-
curred," he said.

But Walker said his intention to
run did not have anything to do
with his decision.

“With my decision not to run. I
don’t see any potential conflict of
interest," Walker said. “It‘s a tenu—
ous supposition that I ever had
something to gain by deciding on
the election rules.“

He also said a conflict of interest
requires personal gain, while the
election rules apply to everyone.

“I don’t see where 1 would have
anything to gain." he said.

Walker said he would contact
board members and that he hopes
to meet Tuesday to decide whether
the board can rehear issues. The
SGA Constitution states all deci-
sions made by the board are final.

Nevertheless, if the board de-
cides it can rehcar issues, Walker
said the referendum decision would
be reheard Wednesday evening if
possible.

Crosbie said he filed his com-
plaint not only for this current refe-
rendum, but for all future ones as
well.

“We want to make sure that
when we leave office. there will all
ways be some method for student‘s
voices to be heard and for them to

Director Spike Lee says college athletics exploits black players

By 11M WIESENHAHN
Sports Editor

and TYRONE BEASON
Staff Writer

Although Friday night was his first visit to the Bluegrass, Spike Lee,

dent Government sponsored Lee's lecture.

Lee focused on his next film, a biographical account of slain civil-rights

leader Malcolm X.

“This is the most imponant film of my life," he said. “Everything l‘ve

done has prepared me for this film. Nothing has been in the scope of ‘X.’

“It is a great responsibility."

 

 

clad in a brown suit. told fans he, too, km N about UK basketball and its
legendary coach. “The man in the brown suit.“

But the filmmaker said UK was just another example of racism and the
black athlete; and its former coach Adolph Rupp was just another man
wearing a brown suit.

“1 know Adolph Rupp is turning over in his grave," said Lee to a crowd
of about 4,000 in Memorial Coliseum. “The fabled history of UK and the
black athlete. But it was not just at Kentucky. Bear Bryant. Adolph Rupp.
They were crushed."

Lee sat on UK's bench Saturday at the Wildcats‘ game against the Uni-
versity of Tennessee.

“Rupp,” he said Friday. “1 have hard time just saying that name."

Lee, who addressed the crowd and answered questions for nearly two
hours, said racism makes people hate themselves — especime blacks.

“We still hate ourselves collectively," Lee said. “Who we are. where we
come from."

Lee said that “self-hate” ins been fostered by negative images of blacks
portrayed in the media.

The Student Activities Board, the Office of Minority Affairs and the Stu-

Lee's previous films include “Jungle Fever" (1991), “Mo' Better Blues“
(1990), “Do the Right Thing" (1989), ”School Daze" (1988) and “She's
Gotta Have it” (1986).

Lee said it was important that a black person direct a film about Mal-
colm X —— not because blacks can only make films about black issues —
but because no white man in America knows how racism feels, he said.

“Racism is all in your face from the time you‘re a baby," he said.

He called Malcolm X a complex and visionary hero. Lee said many peo-
ple have a superficial image of him. The goal of his film is to give the audi-
ence, which is made up of mostly college students and children. a better
understanding of Malcolm X, Lee said.

The film should be in theaters in December.

At a Saturday press conference at the Radisson hotel. Lee said the
present is the best time to be a black filmmaker.

“l‘m not saying the door’s wide open, but the crack is bigger than it‘s
ever been.” he said. ‘There’s a serious interest to make money generated
by black films. Hopefully, it won't be a fad.“

Kentucky Kernel, Monday, March 9, 1902 - 3

 

 

 

Animated features are singing different ’toons

Most people under age 30 -- and
probably many older than that—
are somewhat familiar with that
amazing singing frog who belts out
vaudeville ditties like "Hello, my
baby, hello my honey. hello my rag-
time gal" or “The Michigan Rag"
when no one's around.

And if you remember that. you
probably also remember the man
who found the frog — an ambitious
demolition worker with dreams of
wealth and greatness.

He rented a theater. you’ll recall,
and plastered banners and signs
("HE SINGS!") touting his newly
discovered amphibious star. He ran
to the lobby, threw open the door,
ready to usher in the cheering
throng.

Nothing happened.

So he painted a sign that said
“FREE ADMISSION."

Nada.

His next sign, “FREE BEER," fi-
nally brought in the crowds. But
why do I remember this scene so
well? Well, when you've seen the
same cartoon dozens of times over a
period of 20-odd years, you become

:IIHIIIrlllllllllllllllltrH
' \
. lllll
‘. I:
.. ‘ It'll
lllllTIi Ill lllllll ut llllln ll

somewhat familiar with it. You get
where you can quote chapter and
verse from “Duck Dodgers in the
24 1/2 Century" or “The Rabbit of
Seville." And you notice when
something's amiss.

A few weeks back, ABC 's Satur-
day morning “Bugs Bunny and
Tweety Show" showed “The Sing-
ing Frog.”

An odd thing happened. The man
threw open the theater doors, and
nothing happened. Then he painted
the “FREE ADMISSION" sign.
Naturally, I expected the same re-
sult.

But this time. the crowds flowed
in.

We never saw the “FREE BEER”
sign at all. The prospect of getting
into the theater free was enough.
That’s not especially funny or any-
thing, but so what? There’s a much

more important issue here:

Children could see that free beer
Sign and turn into alcoholics!

That‘s why the cartoon was edit-
ed. That's why, after swallowing a
batch of Wild Turkey surprise (actu~
ally dynamitel), the Tasmanian
Devil no longer explodes.

He used to, but now the network
just cuts to the next scene. Now, he
swallows dynamite, and nothing
happens. That's a much better mes-
sage for the kiddies.

We don't want to encourage chil-
dren from dynamiting each other,
dropping anvils on each other’s
heads, painting phony tunnels on
the sides of cliffs, using giant mag-
nets, or ordering anything from the
Acme Mail Order Catalogue.

Who knows how I was scarred as
a youth? I may have a secret urge to
pour liquid alum into co-workers‘
coffee, causing their face to form a
huge pucker.

Maybe if you ask me for two
lumps of sugar in your tea, I’ll bash
you on the head with a giant mallet.

I could have those tendencies. Af-
ter all, I’ve watched Warner Broth-

ers cartoons all my life, mainly be-
cause I found them to be hilariously
funny. Maybe they've been part of
America’s culture for 50 years be-
cause countless millions enjoy them
as much as I do.

But the same fine folks who want
warning labels on records are afraid
of the influence these cartoons
might have on impressionable
young minds.

Seeing a man with a singing frog
touting free ale might promote
drunkenness.

A talking rabbit tricking a hunter
by wearing a dress might cause
your youngster to become a trans-
vestile.

When I‘m looking for role mod-
els upon which to base life’s deci-
sions, I look to a talking duck
dressed up in a space suit.

I frequently stare blankly at the
screen, mouth agape, mumbling
“must run over man with steam
roller” again and again.

Those classic Warner Brothers
cartoons are so wonderful to watch,
it would be nice to see them uncut,
as they were meant to be seen. The

Museum trading in on financial difficulties

Associated Press

BALTIMORE — The cash-
strapped Baltimore Museum of Art
has set up another temporary art
swap to bring great works to the city
for minimal cost.

The museum is getting seven ma-

jor modern paintings and drawings

from the Museum of Modern Art in

New York in exchange for I() paint-

ings and five drawings by Matisse.
The swap is the Baltimore mu-

seum’s second in what officials
there believe will be a national
trend as arts organizations cope
with recession-inspired budget
cuts. Swapping collections is much
less costly than the more traditional
method of gathering works of art
from a variety of public and private
collections.

butchering of movies, and TV
shows for that matter, is an unfortu-
nate staple of modem-day televi-
sion.

Given the power of the almighty
dollar, there is little we can do to
stop it.

But the chopping of classic car-
toons is, to me. even more tragic,
because the desire for more money
isn’t the only reason for the cuts.

Somebody somewhere deemed it
inappropriate for the youth of
America to see slapstick violence
because of some ridiculous belief
that it was hurting America.

Strangely enough, the truly vio-
lent TV shows, including other car-
toons. get almost no criticism.

And when they do get criticism,
it usually goes no funher titan that.
No one successfully lobbies to get
“GI. Joe" or “Transformer" car-
toons taken off the air or toned

down.

I’m not advocating that such
shows should be tampered with. If
someone out there likes them, more
power to you. I‘m just saying all the
availability of all shows, cartoon or
otherwise, should be dependent on
the viewing choices of the public. If
you don’t like a show, turn your set
off. Don‘t turn mine off.

Maybe the new Kentucky Thea-
tre will put together some kind of a
Warner Brothers cartoon festival ——
a day in which a dozen or so uncut
classics are shown.

It would be a great day to spend
at the movies, unless Tipper Gore
& Co. show up out of fear that I‘m
havtng too much fun.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — As if pow-
ered by surtlight, the UK baseball
team blazed through its two day
games in the Big Four Classic, but
fizzled when the sun went down.

After winning its Friday artd Sat-
urday day games by a combined
score of 17-8, UK cnunbled in Sat-
urday's night contest against instate
rival Louisville, losing 15-4.

Unfortunately for the Bat Cats,
the relentless weather forced a

make-up game Sunday morning
that pushed back wlnt would have
been an aftemoon game for the
tournament championship. So UK
and Notre Dame didn't start the
championship game until almost 6
p.m., and by the second inning the
only light in the stadium was artifi-
cial.

UK scoredaruneach in thefirst
two innings off Notre Dame starter
David Sinnes.

But Notre Dame countered with a
three-run third inning. UK did not
score another run off Sinnes.

“He had good velocity," UK
coach Keith Madison said. “He had
a good slider. He seemed like he
got better as the game went along.
We felt like we had him on the
ropes a couple times, but he just
battled back."

UK threatened in the bottom of
the ninth, though.

With two on and no outs, shon-
stop Roger Ward struck out. Jeff
Norman flied out, advancing Chad
Estep to third. With men on first
and third, Notre Dame relief pitcher
Eric Danapilis struck out Jeff Mi-

chael on a full count to end the
game.

Madison and umpire Steve Kriz
exchanged unpleasantries in the
fiftlt inning when Kriz called a balk
on Lorhn Frazier.

Madison argued for a moment be-
fore retuming to the dugout. On the
next pitch, Madison shouted sorne-
thing at Kriz, who responded by
quickly ejecting Madison from the
game.

“Whatever I said, I can assure it
was not profane,” Madison said.
“Umpires are supposed to be there

to control the game. But he was the
aggressor in this situation.”

Madison didn’t leave without a
fight, though. He talked with um-
pires Kriz, Keith Schartzer and
Doug Vaughn before heading for
theclubhouse.

Prior to its two night losses, UK
had rolled over its opponents be-
hind strong starting pitching and a
lot of timely hitting.

In the opener Friday against Indi-
ana, UK relied on seven quality in-
nings from junior pitcher Rodney
Henderson and some early runs to

The four UK seniors added
most of the excitement to the
Wildcats’ 99-88 victory over ri-
val Tennessee Saturday — each,
in his own unique way, making
it a game to remember.

Before Melissa Baber could
get the last words to “My Old
Kentucky Home” out of her
mouth, senior guard Richie
Farmer had eight points, which
gave the Cats an 11-4 lead. In
the first minute, 26 seconds of
play, he had two three-pointers
and a driving layup.

Farmers' exhibition looked
like a Kyle Macy highlight film,
filled with defensive steals, long
jump shots and deep, penetrating
layups over much taller oppo-
nents. He drove the 24,332 fans
in Rupp Arena crazy.

Farmer finished with 15
points, hitting five of seven from
the field and two of three from
three-point range.

UK fans were getting what
they had come to see — revenge
for a previous 77-52 loss to the
Volunteers and a chance to see
their seniors shine one last time.

Senior point guard Sean
Woods dissected the Volunteer
defense en route to six first-half
assists. In feeding the Cats in-
side and outside, he was flaw-
less -— leaving a goose egg un-
der turnovers on the stat sheet.

“I was playing great,” Woods
said. “In my mind, I wanted to
go assist record."

Besides his offensive contri-
butions, Woods played tena-
cious defense.

He wore down point guard
Jay Price, so much that Price be-
came frustrated. The frustration
lead to a first-half altercation in
which Price and Woods tangled
under the basket. With rage in
their eyes and fists formed. the
two squared off. Woods got off
a quick one-two exchange that
missed the fortunate Price.

If only Don King had been on
the sidelines instead of Spike
Lee, King may have found

someone to take Tyson's place.

Just kidding. What Woods does
best with his hands is pass, steal
and dribble the ball. Woods is per-
haps the only true NBA prospect
among UK's four seniors. It
wouldn‘t be surprising to find
Woods in an NBA backcourt next

year.

Ironically, Woods and Price
watched the remainder of the game
together, on the press room televi-
sion.

What they and many others saw
was a very close, high-intensity,
very physical second half.

“Today is probably the most
physical game I've seen this team
play,” said former UK star Kenny
Walker. “Because they’re a little bit
more finessed, they rely on the
tltree-point shot."

Senior forward Daron Feldhaus
best exemplified the Cats‘ style of
play on Saturthy. He's quick
enough to be effective on defense
and to run the floor on the fast
