2 groups plan
SAB boycott
because of slur

By ANGELA JONES
News Editor

Phi Beta Sigma announced its in-
tentions yesterday to boycott all
Student Activities Board functions
if members involved with the print-
ing of a racial slur do not resign.

The social fraternity and Sirnba
Elimika, a student organization.
protest the publishing of the original
lyrics of “My Old Kentucky
Home,” which refers to “darkies”
on the back cover of the “Wildcat
Datebook 1991-92.”

“1 don't want to carry around
something that reminds me of the
way Kentucky used to be," said Ra-
monda James, president of Simba
Elimika a student organization in-
terested in educating others about
African Heritage.

SAB pulled the books from the
shelf a few days ago and issued a
public apology Wednesday stating
the error was “not intended mali-
ciously or purposely.“

But as a result of the error. a
meeting wm called yesterday to dis-
cuss racial sensitivity, and the Phi
Beta Sigma president said “sorry“
wasn't good enough.

“We‘re tired of taking ‘l’m sorry‘

apologies," said Ricardo Nazan'o-
Colon, president of Phi Beta Sigma.
“We‘ve been hearing that for the
past 400 years and we're sick of it"

Nazario—Colon. of New York
City, said the slur was one of sever—
al racial incidents he had encoun-
tered.

“I've been called ‘nigger‘ 27
times in the three years I've been in
Kentucky," he said.

SAB officials said the printing
was a mistake and that the wording
of the song was taken from Marga-
ret 1. King Library archives.

“My Old Kentucky Home,” writ-
ten by Stephen Foster, was first
published in 1853.

“We did everything we could to
amend the situation," said K. C
Watts, SAB president.

At the meeting, Dean of Students
David Stockham recognized the
continuous racial tensions at UK.

“This happened because racism
exists fl not because people want it
to," he said.

Administrators. faculty and stu-
dents discussed a few solutions to
cultural ignorance on campus such
as requiring an African studies

Turnout for tickets
lower than expected

By MARY MADDEN
Senior Staff Writer

Despite the hype surrounding UK
football this fall. UK officials are
scratching their heads because uck~
et distribution is down.

Football ticket distribution began
a week early this year and students
may be unaware that tickets already
are available, said Rodney Stiles,
UK director of administrative ser-
vices. He estimates that ticket distri-
bution is down by about 30 percent
from usual first-game distribution.

“They are running a little bit he
hind due to the fact that the word is
not out (that distribution has be-
gun)," Stiles said.

Football ticket distribution tradi-
tionally does not begin until after
Labor Day. “This is the earliest it
has ever started.” he said.

Stiles noted that there still are
plenty of seats available in both the
upper and lower decks.

Guest tickets. priced at $12 and
316, also are still available. There is
not yet a limit to the number of
guest tickets that may be purchased

Staff elects
15 to new
UK council

By DALE GREER
Managing Editor

The first 15 members of UK‘s
new Lexington Campus Staff Coun-
cil were announced this summer by
Robert Hemenway. chancellor for
the Lexington campus.

UK staff workers, including pan-
time employees. cast more than
1,300 ballots in the council elec-
tions in June and July. said Mary
Burg. assistant to the chancellor.

The high number of voters was "a
clear indication of suppon for and
interest in the council,” said He-
menway. who chooses three council
members to serve as officers each
year.

See COUNCIL, Page 4

However, if the number of available
tickets begins to dwindle, a limit
may be set he said. Cash or cthk
may be used to purchase the guest
tickets.

Student and guest tickets may be
picked up at the front of Memorial
Coliseum from 9 am to 4 pm. (1me
up to the day of the first game —— or
until all tickets have been issued.

Students must present a validated
ID and student activity card or an
ID and this semester's class sched-
ule to pick up a student ticket Each
student may pick up as many as
f0ur tickets by presenting up to four
le at the coliseum.

Stiles said dismbuuon is farther
behind in issuance of group seating.
Because of that. officials are hold-
ing back some tickets in group seat-
mg in the event that an organization
would like group seating but has not
yet requested it

“We hope that any campus organ-
ization that is registered With the
Dean of Students Office will come
by as soon as possible to request
(group seating)." he said

Ex-governor
unaware of
investigation

Assoclated Prose

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Former
Gov. Martha Layne Collins said she
has not been told she is a target of a
federal grand jury investigation.

Collins also said yesterday she
isn't worried about the investiga-
tion. which was begun more than
three years ago.

“I think we had a good adminis-
tration," Collins told reporters yes—
terday at the Capitol. “I don‘t know
of anything that was done improper-
Iy."

It was her first public comment
on the investigation, which ham ap-
peared to center on the financial
dealings of the former govemor’s
husband, Bill Collins.

In the last month. the grand jury
in Lexington subpoenaed records
and witnesses pertaining to bond is-
sues during the Collins administra-
tion, which ended in December
1987.

The grand jury also showed an in-
terest in the disposition of Kentucky
Derby tickets obtained by the State
Racing Commission in 1984
through 1987.

The witnesses included Ruth
McElwain Childers, who was secre-
tary of an investment company Bill
Collins and two partners established
soon after his wife took office.

Collins Investments Inc. solicited
$3.5 million from people who did
business with the state or received
gubernatorial appointments during
the Collins administration.

People under investigation by a
federal grand jury often receive a
notification letter. which entitles
them to testify if desired.

Collins said she had not received
a “target letter" and felt no need to
testify.

their concerns.

The group will not, however. act
as a grievance committee. Burg
said.

“In the past. staff have not been
routinely involved in decision-
making on the campus beyond, per-
haps, the departmental level,” Burg
said.

"This gives staff a direct line to
the chancellor."

Williams said the group will help
bring the campus together.

“To me. the campus is like a
small city," she said. "We have as
many people here as a lot of small
cities. Everybody wants to be recog-
nized, so I think (the council) is a
good idea.

“You know, there’s lots and lots
of staff people on campus, and I
think a lot of times they say. ‘Well,
we just get overlooked.‘ Now, they
will feel more a part of the Univer-
sity."

All members serve on the council
for three year terms. but some will
serve for two years initially so that
elections can be staggered over a
two~year period.

Members are selected from four
different areas ofjob classifications.

Three council members must
work in the administrative and pro
fessional field, four in office and
clerical. six in service and mainte-
nance, and two in technical and sci-
entific.

The divisions are based on the
number of staff that work in each
career field at UK. Burg said

The council will have its first
meeting Sept. 11 at 9 am. in the old
board room of the Administration
Building.

signed to discuss solutions to the
problem. many students focused
on SAB's error.

“I'm tired of these ‘leaming'
experiences," said Vickie Aforte,
a junior planning to study medi-
cine.

Aforte said she was suspicious
that the forum was just a formali-
ty and challenged the administra-
tors to prevent similar incidents
during her remaining two years at
UK.

She said she is concerned that
the incident is “just going to get
pushed under the mg.”

After employees of University
of Kentucky Bookstores ripped
off the back cover of the books
and did not charge people for
them, they didn't explain to stu-
dents why the books were free,
Hodge said.

“If we keep ignoring this kind

Nevertheless, knowing the colleg-
es were under directive to hire mi-
norities he said he wasn't sure how
sincere a welcome he would re—
ceive.

“When I found out the percentage
of minority faculh members I
thought at first ‘15 my reception go—
ing to be real or is it going to be su-
perficial?” '

But after his arrival, he said the
hospitality extended by the Univer-
sity community has alloyed his
fears. Everyone, he said. from the
president to the chancellor on down
has been “wonderful. Very open,
positive and genuine.“

McCorvcy, who grew up attend-
ing the church sermons of Rev.
Ralph Abernathy, a constituent of
Martin Luther King Jr., said he sup-
ported UK‘s efforts to diversrfy the
faculty and student body.

“If the University is going to have
a diverse culture, they may have to
go out and do some recruiting ——
not only of faculty but of students

as well," he said. “For a city the
size of Lexington, I think the Uni-
versity should be a representative of
the community it serves.”

 

Soviet

Continued from page 1

But it appeared unlikely the party
could assert the control it once had.

Pany leaders were deeply in-
volved in the Aug. 18—21 coup that
toppled Gorbachev. Members of its
Politburo and Central Committee
were on the eight-member commit-
tee that set itself up as the Soviet
Union's government.

Gorbachev quit as party leader on
Saturday, urged the party‘s Central
Committee to disband and terminat-
ed party cells in the Soviet govem-
ment, armed forces. Interior Minis-
try. KGB and other law
enforcement agencies.

Yeltsin, who has taken the initia-
tive in reshaping the nation‘s politi-
cal structure. earlier had barred the
party from his vast republic and
sealed party archives.

Party chiefs in the republics have
quit the Politburo or their party po—
srtions altogether and many have
led the drives to suspend the party' 5
activities. Party buildings have been
scaled statues of pany icons top-
pled.

As the party came under attack
throughout the republics, new inter-
ethnic problems began to arise.

Kazakhstan President Nursultan
Nazarbayev said tension was rising
in his republic because Yeltsin has
not clearly renounced Russian tem-
tonal claims there. the Interfax
news agency reported.

“This can force the republic to
take the same steps as the Ukraine.
Special danger lies in the fact that
Kazakhstan is a nuclear republic."

Interfax quoted Nazarbayev as say-
ing.

The fragmentation of the union
has raised the specter of new repub-
lics —— some whose names were un-
recognizable to Americans before
this week — becoming nuclear
powers overnight, with the attend-
ing hazards of attack or accident.

Kazakhstan is of special concern
because it hosts 15-20 percent of
the Soviet Union’s fixed silo nucle—
ar missiles, as well as two nuclear
weapons testing ranges and a hornb-
er base which probably is nuclear
capable.

In his radio address, Yeltsin ruled
out a division of strategic arms
among the republics.

Nazarbayev issued a decree clos-
ing the test range at Semipalatinsk.
He demanded compensation for the
“damage done to the health of the
population" by tests at the base
since 1949. There have been no
tests there in two years.

Gorbachev told the Supreme So-
viet he was dispatching a delegation
to Kazakhstan because the situation
“got more complicated” He spoke
three times by telephone with Na-
zarbayev, a key Gorbachev ally in
holding the union together.

“it is necessary that we do not
let matters get to a situation where
there is no escape. Things can
snowball " Gorbachev said.

Russia and the Ukraine already
have agreed not to contest each oth-
ers territory. That accord was part
of a landmark military and econom—
lC alliance forged yesterday that by-
passes the Kremlin and could form
the basis of a new system of states
to replace the Soviet Union.
