STAFF WRITER

Four UK engineering stu-
dents were among 22 selected
nationally to join a presti-
gious US. Navy program.

Seniors Mike Carter.
Merritt Johnson and Rob
Sellin and junior Matt Major
were chosen for the Nuclear
Propulsion Officer Candidate
program, and the award in‘
cludes a paid education and a
$10,000 signing bonus.

No other school W. in-
cluding Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology. Califor-
nia Tech. Georgia Tech and

Princeton ~ had more than
one student chosen for the
program.

“This could be a first for
Navy history.“ said Cmdr.
David Fuson of the Nashville
Navy Recruiting District.

"I wish I had known
about it sooner." Major said.
“It came up. and I kept get-
ting stuff in the mail. Mom
wanted me to throw it away.
but I kept looking into it."

Since he received the
honor. Sellin said he has
been preparing for his new
positions. The recruits are
required to maintain high
GPAs. “I study all day." Sellin

said. “I try to be here from
nine to five with the goal of
not taking anything home."

“If we don't. we could be
yanked out of the program
or sent off to boot camp.“
said Sellin. whose father was
a medical officer in the Navy.

Program alumni include
former President Jimmy
Carter.

“1 really don't know how
it will change my life. but
what doesn't kill you makes
you stronger." Major said. “It
took a little swaying of my
mom. though.“

The men will be recog-
nized at the UK vs. Ole Miss

game on Feb. 23.

To Sellin. recognition at
Rupp is only the beginning.

“You know if you can
make it through the pro»
gram. you will be successful
in the Navy." Carter said.

The men are required to
stay with the Navy for five
years. All have chosen to
serve on submarines.

“It's nice to know that af-
ter five years of the Navy. my
resume will be written." Sell-
in said.

He said he is looking for»
ward to receiving his signing
bonuses this month.

"Me. my wife and three
credit card companies hope
it comes on the 15th." Sellin
said.

Robin Gornto wants
everyone to know one
thing about her work in
dentistry.

“We don't clean teeth.
We make them." said Gorn-
to. coordinator of the Den-
tal Lab Technology pro-
gram at LCC. which is one
of the only in the area.

The two-year program
is the only of its kind in
Kentucky and is also one of
less than 30 national pro-
grams accredited by the
Commission on Dental Ac-
creditation.

While the requests for
dental hygiene tips may

like an overzealous dentist

people who don‘t know

Gornto was a student

1 am. at the Radisson Hotel downtown. Voodoo Symphony. a
popular local band. which plays both cover songs and original

wear a tuxedo or formal gown. Thompson said. SG has
arranged for a deal on tuxedos with Geno‘s Formal Wear. For
$19.95. students can rent a one-button coat with a vest or tie.

Patton outlines child safety plan

FRANKFURT (lov. Patti Patton
pushed for child safety legislation Thurs-
day. primarily aimed at keeping Kentucky
youngsters safe while on the road. The cor-
nerstone of the package would make it a
primary offense for anyone under 18 years
old to ride in a motor vehicle without wear-
ing a seat belt. Drivers would also have to
seat small children between 40 inches and 4
feet 9 inches tall in a booster chair. “Surely
we can make sure that our young people
that don‘t have the maturity to make a lot of
independent judgments are required to
wear seat belts.” Patton said, “And if we do
that. they will wear them all their life."

Search for shuttle debris continues

DALLAS . Rain-drenched searchers
trudging through the muddy forests and
fields of East Texas pulled up a few circuit
boards believed to be front the space shuttle
Columbia but mostly recovered small pieces
Thursday as they tired to find clues to what
caused the shuttle‘s destruction. So far. none
of more than 12.000 individual pieces found
in a debris field across 38 counties and two
dozen Louisiana parishes has provided the
critical answers NASA is looking for. And

said he would be open to a second U.N. reso-

not back down when those demands are de-

resolved to take whatever action is neces-

WASHINGTON — Dozens of big compa-

and its affirmative action policy before the
Supreme Court, saying such programs help
produce better workers of all races and eth-

gan case is the most significant affirmative
action case to reach the court in decades. At
issue is whether racial preference programs

Taking ‘appropriate’ action: Lexington police chief
said police officer did what he was trained to do

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A police officer fatally shot a burglary suspect Thurs
day after the assailant shot the officer in the face. authori
ties said.

Officer Aaron Kidd. 32. responded to the report of an
armed man breaking into a residence at 2:57 am. Thurs
day just northeast of downtown Lexington. said Police
Chief Anthany Beatty.

The would—be burglar lied on foot with Kidd in pursuit.
Beatty said. Kidd caught up with the suspect in a back-
yard. where the suspect shot Kidd in the face.

Kidd returned the fire. wounding the suspect. Beatty
said.

“The officer was shot in the face and took appropriate
action to defend himself. which is exactly what he's trained
to do and any of us would do in a situation like that." Beat-
ty said.

Both the officer and suspect were taken to the Univer-
sity of Kentucky Medical Center where Beatty said the
suspect died less than an hour later. Kidd was expected to
be released from the hospital Thursday evening. Beatty
said.

The dead man was identified as James Salyers. 24. of
Lexington. according to the Fayette County Coroner's of-
fice. Salyers had a criminal record but was not among pris~
oners recently released in Gov. Paul Patton's effort to save
money according to the Kentucky Department of Correc~
tions.

 Professor pens production

inspired by Chinese culture

Beginning Chinese language students to perform in
play as a learning tool; subtitles will be included

By Jennifer Mueller

SIAI‘ WRITTR

To help herald the (‘hi-
nese year of the Yang. the
(‘hinese Language and Cul-
ture Program will present
“Dong-Guo and the Wolf Re-
visited." a play written by UK
professor Beverly Hong
Finchei‘.

Hong»Fiiichet“s play fol-
loivs the path of a Confucian
scholar. DongCuo. and a
Wolf. Despite the scholar's
kindness toward the Wolf. the
Wolf wants to eat him. Along
the way they meet and learn
from three wisemen n an an-
cient tree, an aged ox and an
old peasant farmer and dis-

cover that people are not al-
ways kind to nature. The play
explores traditional Chinese
philosophies. namely Confu-
cianism and Legalism. and
the theme of ungratefulness.
The play is being present-
ed by beginning Chinese stu—
dents. Although the play will
be presented in Chinese. there
will be English subtitles.
Hong-Fincher. a professor
of Chinese language and cul-
ture. wrote the play for her
language students because
she was dissatisfied with the
limited scope of the text.
books. She adapted the play
from Chinese folklore and
changed the ending. Hong-
Fincher said that she believes

using a language is the best
way to learn it.

”i believe learning a lor-
eign language is [)(‘i'il)l‘-
mance.” Hongl'incher said.
"You have to assume another
personality when speaking a
foreign language. which
makes it much like acting,"

Following the play will be
a Chinese musical perfor—
mance played with Western
instruments.

“I think that the students
have fun doing it.” [long
Finchcr said. "‘l'hat's the im-
portant thing.”

Performance

"Dong-Guo and the Wolf
Revisited" is scheduled for Sat-
urday at 7 pm at the Student
Center Theater.

Five specialties are

gram: orthodontics. crown
and bridge work. ceramics.
complete dentures and re-
movable partial dentures.

Students work in all
five areas during their first
three semesters. but they
are encouraged to choose a
specialty for the final se-
mester.

The opportunity to cre—
ate unique dental master-
pieces by hand with such a
diverse range of tools is
part of the appeal of a ca-
reer in dental lab technolo-
gy, Gornto said.

Edlin, a first-year DLT
student. agreed.

“We’re constantly doing
different projects using dif-
ferent types of equipment,"
he said.

Other students enroll in
the program for the oppor-
tunity to work in the dental
industry without having to
hear the gripes of patients
suffering from tooth decay.

“I like that it's still re-

without being patient-relat-
ed.” said Angie Wells. an-
other first-year student in
the program.

fied program is not re-

“We can teach a student

Gornto should know.
After graduating from the

ton in 1983.

Gornto said that many

gone on to own their own

In addition to the per-

associated with owning a

for running a dental labora-

Wells said she hopes to

field.

“I‘ll probably work for
somebody for a year or two.
but then I want to open my
own lab." she said.

Campus night shuttle

An 80 committee is researching the idea of t'ollalxu‘ztt
ing with LexTran. chington‘s public lllls system. to run a
weekend night bus around campus and ti lWIl.

“We‘re mainly looking for a safe and convenient way for
students to get around." said Beth Kuhnhein. a freshman
senator in 86 who is helping design the proposal

The project is still in draft form. :utd the committee has
not yet contacted LexTran with a proposal. said Rachel
Watts. Senate vice t‘llalI'WlllllZill. head of the committee

”We wanted to go and have some information to put in
front of them. to give us some credibility.” she said.

Student Center eatery

A sit down—style restaurant could open in the Student
Center before the end of the year. Robinson said the restau-
rant itself would cover the cost of settingu p and operating.

A committee headed by Robinson is meet mg to discuss
what restaurant chains would be feasible for the deal. ”I'm
kind of leaning toward Applebee s. because it's kind of not
as pricey." Robinson said.

The restaurant would be a illll's't‘l'vlt‘t’ bar and grill. he
said. and. as a private business. it wouldn't be affected by
UK‘s dry campus alcohol policy

Online ticket lottery

Another SG project on the table is an online lottery for
student basketball tickets. The lottery would replace the
current system. where students queue up to get their seats
by random selection.

SG members are working to collect the 1.000 signatures
needed to put a referendum on the April 80 election ballot.

Robinson said an online lottery is important because
"students at UK probably care more about basketball tickets
than they do most issues."

Student on the city council

Another project is putting a non-voting student mem-
ber on the Lexington-Fayette Urban County C ouncil.

Joe Ruschell. SG Senate chair. is joining the Town &
Gown Commission to lead the project. but said he isn't focus-
ing on it now and it hasn't been moving anywhere recently.

Campus safety commission

SC is forming a campus safety commission. although
this project is also not progressing.

Justin Rasner. SG chief of staff. is heading the project.
but said the plan can't go fuither until a new UK Police chief
is in place and oriented with the campus.

”What we want to push for is a campus-wide safety com
mission that is representative of students. faculty. staff and
administration." Robinson said.

Residence hall visitation policy

A committee that includes Robinson and Ruschell be-
gan meeting in December to discuss changing the residence
hall visitation policy

The committee also includes representatives from uni-
versity administration. the Resident Student Council. UK
Police and the UK Parent Association.

"It's a good example of different groups working togeth»
er." Ruschell said.

Expanding the Plus Account

SC is researching a system where students can use the
Plus Account to purchase parking passes. pay parking tick-
ets and pay for food deliveries that are made to the dorms.

Graduation contract

SG is working with the University Senate to establish
an agreement between undergraduate students and the uni-
versity that would guarantee students to graduate within
four years. The University Senate must approve the propos-
al before the Board of Trustees can consider it at their May
meeting. The SG Senate will also consider a resolution on
the contract.

If the proposal is passed and students can't get the
courses they need to graduate on time. the university must
pay for the student to stay an extra setnester or make other
arrangements so they can graduate on time.

Track Cats psyc
for final stretch

Building confidence:
Men's 4x800-meter relay
sets school-record time

.3193” , Patterson
STAFF WRITER

Winnittg is
head.

At least that 15 Mint lily'
track and field coach Ilon
Weber has been telling his
team. He said he believes
that psychological condition»
ing is the key to the Track
Cats' success.

“Some of them have de-
veloped quite dramatically in
their physical capabilities."
said W iber of his team. “but
in their mentality about
their physical abilities they
haven't reached that point
yet."

The team should have
good reason to believe in its
talent. Both the men's and
the women‘s teams are
ranked nationally. The
women are currently ranked
No. 13. and the men are
ranked No. 14.

Weber said his team
needs to develop the “mental
courage" to run at a level
that he is certain it can.

“There is a neglect of
the psychological condition
ing that needs to take place."
Weber said. “We hope to im.
prove upon that. because g0-
ing into Nationals we need to
be prepared both physically
and psychologically"

Senior Simidele Adeagbo
is one Cat that is runningr on
all cylinders. She has already
qualified for the NCAA In-
door Championships in five
weeks. Also. she ranks first
in the nation with a triple
jump of 43-0115.

“1 think we have a really
good shot at being in the top
five in the Southeastern Con-
ference." Adeagbo said. “We
should finish strong."

Heading into this week—
end's Rod McCravy Memori—
al Track and Field Meet. the
Track Cats have good reason
to be confident.

The middle distance
runners have been some of
the best in the nation. UK
claims five runners -~ Paul
Ciurlys. James Doaty. David
Freeman. Chad Johnson and
Hunter Spencer , in the top
10 of the nation in the
BOO-meter event.

The 4x800-meter men's
relay team has already
eclipsed the school record
early in the season.

“It has been a good
group since they have been
freshmen." said Weber of the
relay team. “They've made
consistent steady progress."

To go along with Adeag-
ho. the Cats have several
women on the national map.
