Budget request hints at tuition hike

Revenue increases based
on estimates from council

By Don Puckett
Senior Staff Writer

UK's biennial budget request for
1994—1996 may provide some clues
about the tuition increase the Coun-
cil on Higher Education is expected
to announce Nov. 8.

According to the request, which
was released last month, UK’s Plan-

ning and Budget Ofﬁce anticipates
a 22.5 percent increase in tuition
revenue from the University System
for the 1994-95 academic year and
a 12.3 percent increase for the
1995-96 academic year.

The expected increase in tuition
revenue does not mean. however.
that UK anticipates an increase in
student enrollment. said Joan
McCauley. associate vice president

Professor to talk
about Nobel Prize

Staff reports

Those interested in learning more
about the story of recent Nobel
Prize winner Joseph Taylor should
stop by 155 Chemistry-Physics
Building tomorrow night at 7.

UK astronomy professor Tom
Troland. a long-time acquaintance
of Taylor. will give a speech titled
“Binary Pulsars: The story of the
1993 Nobel Prize in Physics."

"The title sounds boring. but l'll
try not to put anyone to sleep." Tro-
land said. “1‘11 be talking about the
history of the Nobel Prize, people
who have won the prize in the past

the mid-60s.
'Mostly cloudy tonight with a chance of showers; low around ,

and give some of my personal col-
lections." he said.

Troland ﬁrst met Taylor. a co-
winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize for
Physics, in 1970.

At the time, Taylor was studying
pulsars at the University of Massa-
chusetts. and Troland — a student
at nearby Amherst College —- as-
sisted.

“It was a great pleasure working
with him," Troland said. “1 was so
happy when I heard he won (the
Nobel Prize). That proved that nice
guys don‘t always ﬁnish last.

“it‘s a fun story and one 1 look

instead, UK based the revenue in-
crease on estimates of tuition rate
hikes provided by the CHE,
McCauley said.

CHE spokesman Norm Snyder
denied the council staff provided
any speciﬁc rate hike estimates to
UK. He said the CllE‘s staff told
UK the tuition increase would be
between 5 and 14 percent.

“We haven‘t decided for our-
selves what we‘re going to recom-
mend to the Council on November
8." Snyder said. “There have been
no ﬁrm decisions made on what the
staff will recommend."

F orewoman
says jurors
followed law

By Michael Fleeman
Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The jury
forewoman in the Reginald Denny
beating case said today the panel
followed the law and did not suc-
cumb to fear of riots or pressures.
But the one remaining alternate
condemned the verdicts as condon-
ing the attack on the white trucker.

The comments were the ﬁrst by
jurors in the case, which ended last
week with two black men being
cleared of the most serious charges
stemming from attacks on motorists
at the start of the Los Angeles riots.

“The lesson the jury sent out ba~
sically was that if you don‘t believe
or agree with a verdict, it is OK to
go out into the streets. to choose
certain fellow human beings, throw
rocks at their cars, beat them up
and take their property," said the al-
ternate. a white woman who heard
testimony but didn’t participate in
deliberations.

The jury forewoman, however,
said the panel did not condone Den-
ny's beating at the start of rioting
after white four policemen were ac-
quitted on state charges in the beat-
ing of black motorist Rodney King.

“The verdicts were decided ac—
cording to the law. not through in-
timidation, fear of another riot, nor
were those verdicts based on black
versus white,“ she said.

The statement was read after jur-
ors spoke privately to attorneys in
the case and after the judge assured
them that their identities would re
main conﬁdential. Lawyers routine-
ly ask to talk tojurors after uials to
learn more about jurors‘ reasoning.

The judge yesterday gave prose-
cutors another week to decide
whether to reﬁle a deadlocked
count against one defendant and re-
spond to a bail reduction move by
another.

Superior Court Judge John Ou-
derkirk scheduled a court session

UK Vice President for Manage-
ment and Budget Ed Caner said.
however, that the Cllli did provide
a speciﬁc estimate.

“We've got exact ﬁgures as to
what (the CHE) was estimating the
increase to be," he said.

Carter said UK received a memo
from the council labeled “not for re-
lease to the public," and that the
memo contained estimates of an in-
crease more speciﬁc than the 5-14
percent range described by Snyder.

Caner said many different factors
go into the Planning and Budget
Ofﬁce‘s estimate of tuition revenue.

“The problem is that there are in-
state rates. out-of—state rates, under-

graduate rates, graduate rates and
professional rates all built into that
ﬁgure." Carter said.

According to the biennial request.
the expected tuition revenue for the
University system during 1993-94
is $54,218,800. In 1994-95, it
would increase to $66,435,000, and
climb to to $74,628,500 by 1995-
96.

UK Student Government Presi-
dent Lance Dowdy said that if tui-
tion is increased this much. many
students would be denied the oppor-
tunities of higher education.

“1 think you would sat a lot more
students go out of state to other in-

stitutions, and I also think you
would not see as many students
come to college," he said.

Dowdy is organizing student pro-
tests set for Nov. 8 to lobby against
tuition increases.

“I'm telling everyone that 1 don‘t
want any increase in tuition." he
said. “However. l’m realistic in the
sense that I realize that there is go-
ing to be a slight increase. 1 hope to
minimize that."

The CHE will meet in Lexington
Nov. 8 at the Holiday Inn Nonh on
Newtown Pike. Snyder said the

Students to document Ky. quotes

By Tammy Gay
Senior Staff Writer

A group of UK undergraduates
has begun a two-year research pro-
ject to compile noteworthy Ken-
tucky quotes.

The 11 students, collectively
known as the Gaines Group. will
not receive college credit for the ef-
fort. but Raymond Betts, director of
the Gaines Center for the Humani-
ties. said the project will offer intel—
lectual beneﬁts nonetheless.

The project does not involve a
teacher-student atmosphere. but
Betts said students will work to-
gether to research a project in
which they have a personal interest.

"This goes beyond the limitations
of a three-credit course,“ Betts said.

The project, which will be pub-
lished in paperback and available
on compact disc, will include pho-
tos and cartoons along with quota-
tions by Kentuckians. Famous
quotes concerning the state also
will be published.

Betts said the project will resem-
ble “Bartlett‘s Familiar Quota-

Wildcats go back to basics for MSU

By Doc Purcell
Staff Writer

When the UK football team met
Mississippi State in Commonwealth
Stadium a season ago, the Cats en-
tered the contest at 4-3, with two
Southeastern conference victories
to their aedit.

What took place on that Hallo-
ween night tumed out to be an of-
fensive showcase that sparked UK
quarterback Pookie Jones to a
record-breaking performance. But
there was one small ﬂaw in the
Wildcats' effort (a blocked ﬁeld

goal that resulted in a 37-36 loss),
allowing the clock to strike mid-
night on the Cats' Cinderella sea-
son.

Now, as UK again prepares to
meet the Bulldogs, this time at
Starkville‘s Scott Field, the record
is the same and a fairy tale year cer-
tainly is in the making. So, if
there's any motivational tool that
Wildcat coach Bill Curry likely
would use. it seems vindication
would work best.

However, Curry refuses to sub-
scribe to such psychological pan-
dering. lie insists that thoughts of
sweet revenge can only take a team

so far.

“It might help some in prepara-
tion, but once the game starts, it
doesn't help at all because it's this
year‘s team playing against this
year's opponent. Its a totally differ-
ent feeling." he said at yesterday‘s
press luncheon.

“You can't get caught up in
thinking about either the past or the
future. You look at right here, now.
There are a lot of folks who aren’t
present for their own lives for that
very reason — because they are
hung up on some terrible thing that
happened when they were 6 years
old."

While Curry doesn‘t want his
Wildcats to think about last year‘s
debacle, the team also must forget
Saturday‘s loss to Georgia, which
was plagued by questionable clock
management on a mangled fourth
quarter dn've.

Curry said the keys to success are
simple: late game execution and
holding on to the football.

“We are a team who gets into the
fourth quarter with everybody with
a chance to win," Curry said. “If
we hang on to the ball, we win.

“In football that's a vast over-
simpliﬁcation, but it really does
come down to that because we are

good enough to move the ball, we
are good enough to stop people,
and we have a good kicking game
when we execute."

Hanging on to the ball proved to
the Cats' downfall in Athens. Ga.
Saturday, as the team fumbled ﬁve
times, losing three to Georgia de-
fenders.

“If we give the other team the
ball, then we are not quite strong
enough to overcome that yet. Hope-
fully, we will continue to progress
sothatifwedoerr, ashumanbe-
ings will, we will be able to over-
come that a vast majority of the
time.

“So what we have done in the
last four weeks? We‘ve put our-
selves in a position to win. We've
managed to do it three times, but
the last time we didn‘t quite have
enough to overcome what we did to
ourselves."

Curry said the Cats need to get
back to basics and forget about last
week's case of butterﬁngers and a
burning by Georgia quarterback
Eric Zeier, who lit up the Wildcat
defense for John Elway-like stats.

As for vindication against Mis-
sissippi State, Curry thinks it will
take care of itself.

Video games

Contributing Writer

Fifteen years ago. there was
Pong. Then came Space Invaders.
and. of course, Pac-Man.

Now. more than a decade after
Mr. and Ms. Pac Man chornped
their way across America. arcade
video games are bigger than ever.
Street Fighter II, NBA Jam. Mortal
Kombat —~ the list goes on.

Arcade games are cheap, fun and
require little to no attention span.
What more could a starving UK
student ask for?

Not much. it seems. based upon
the popularity of arcades around
campus.

Steven Smith, supervisor at the
Student Center Game Room. said
that even though the game room of-
fers billiards. ice hockey and foos-
ball. “about one-fourth of the stu-
dents come here solely to play the
arcade games."

Some students almost live at the
arcade. going there ﬁve or six days
a week.

Most students. however. like his-
tory sophomore Delmar Watkins.
prefer to go once or twice a week to
relieve stress.

The Wildcat Arcade and the ever-
popular Tolly-Ho also are frequent
stops for those looking to wiggle a
joystick for a while.

Pinball provides plenty for pocket change

By Rebecca Farmer
Staff Writer

UK students are drawn to it by
ﬂashing lights, rhythmic music and
fancy moves, like the slap shot and
the death save.

Everyone can participate, even if
they don't know all the moves. it‘s
an inexpensive form of entenain-
merit.

No, it‘s not disco. It's pinball.

UK students, experts and novices
alike, are ﬂocking to arcades to
play the fast-paced game of skill.
The pinball haven of choice for UK
students is Kentucky Arcade, nes—
tled in a block of businesses on the
comer of Rose Street and Euclid
Avenue.

“The biggest part of our business
comes from UK students," said Tim
Singleton, who has been a night
cashier at the arcade for more than
ﬁve years. “They‘re a good, de-
pendable crowd.”

To keep its customers satisﬁed.
Kentucky Arcade offers eight pin-
ball games. The games range from
the old. like The Phantom of the
Opera, to the new. like Indiana
Jones.

Singleton said the balance be-
tween old and new games is neces-
sary for good business, although

History of pinball
dates to 19003

Staff reports

Pinball‘s origins can be
traced to the popular 19th cen-
tury game bagatelle, in which
players scored by hitting pins
with balls. Technological ad-
vances helped bagatelle evolve
into the digital pinball games
of today.

The tilt device, a bane to pin-
ball players who like to help
their game with body language.
was invented in 1932. and elec-
tricity was ﬁrst added a year
later.

The bumper was invented in
1937. and ﬂippers were not
added until after World War II
The extra ball feature was add-
ed in 1960. and digital pinball
readouts were introduced in
1975 to compete with video
games.

newer games do better business.

Mike Henderson, 21 UK sopho-
more. conﬁrmed Singleton‘s obser-
vation. Though it was only released
recently. Henderson rates Indiana

Jones as his favorite game of all
time. “It institutes all the features of
good pinball games," Henderson
said.

Henderson also likes to play Dra-
cula at Tolly-Ho. another favorite
haven for pinball players.

Henderson said he likes the two
games because they were created
by Williams, one of the oldest pin-
ball machinc companies.

“I like Williams‘ games because
they come out very rarely and they
invest a lot in what they do," he
said. Jerry Duffy, a computer sci-
ence junior, prefers games made by
Data East.

“Data East concentrates more on
the sound, music and dot matrix
displays," he said.

His favorite Data East game is
the high-tech Jurassic Park.

“It seems to me to be the most
fun game and has the best set of
rules," be said.

This potential for earning astro-
nomical scores, coupled with the
potential for long-playing time and
for getting a match or earning a free
game. are some of the advantages
pinball has over video games, they
said.

Because of these advantages,
Duffy and Henderson say, students
can get maximum entertainment out
of pocket change.

Example set by Denny,
King stands as reminder
of true human goodness

EDITORIAL

Justice. like a chameleon. comes in many shades. This was espe-
cially and poignantly true last week in Los Angeles. where another
long chapter in the Rodney King beating saga drew to a close.

The two men accused of assaulting truck driver Reginald Denny
during a 1991 riot in South Central Los Angeles were acquitted of
most felony charges associated with the incident.

What makes this tragic case so touching is the fortitude and de-
cency of the two victims. King and Denny. neither of whom of-
fered words of hate or flying ﬁsts. All they asked for was unity.
Their grace was enough to make the rest of us feel shameful and

downright selﬁsh.

Perhaps personal trauma helps place life in its proper perspec-
tive. Since when did beating someone senseless or stealing a color
television set become a substitute for due process?

Justice in the two Los Angeles beating trials should be defined
not by verdicts. sentences or the successful execution of vendettas.
It must be determined as a matter of conscience.

If two people who are made victims of the most bitter civil rights
infringements can ﬁnd it in themselves to learn. forgive and reach
out. there certainly must be hope for those of us who. at present.

cannot.

The King and Denny verdicts now stand as reminders of the low-

est and highest of human behavior.

Two groups of victimizers proved they knew of no other way to
express their dislike than to take up night sticks and bricks. And
two victims proved they were bigger than that.

Sometimes the most soothing shade of justice is fate.

Abbott column
offensive to UK
greek community

To the editor:

As members of Phi Kappa Tau
social fratemity. armed with a
Webster’s thesaurus. we would
like to respond to John Abbott‘s
degrading column concerning
this University's greek system.
published in the Oct. 20 edition
of the Kentucky Kernel.

While we are certainly pleased
to learn of the great pain our mis-
fortune has spared John Abbott.
we wish he would express his
gratitude in a more genuine and
less condescending way.

It would sufﬁce for John to
keep quiet instead of continuing
the great Kentucky Kernel tradi-
tion of beating a dead horse.

Abbott‘s complete ignorance
and lack of understanding of the
greek system is made quite evi—
dent by reading the column.

John asked. “Haven‘t fraterni-
ties and sororities done some-
thing good for you?"

John‘s answer. consisting of
campus suspensions and cheap.
easily chosen Christmas gifts for
his family. was obviously one
more frail effort to poke fun at
the very greek system that sup-
ports his publication in so many
ways.

Those who beneﬁt from the
greek system‘s continuous phil-
anthropic efforts would undoubt-
edly have a contrasting response.

In closing, we would like to
ask one favor of Mr. Abbott.

We simply ask that John gain
some understanding of his sub-
ject matter before presenting yet
another closed-minded opinion
on the editorial page.

We ask this because we feel.
just as John does. that. “Every-

body has something to offer. you
know. Everybody."

Editor’s column
called worthless,
senseless, idiotic

To the editor:

This letter isn‘t in response to
any particular article. I am writing
to express my displeasure in the
content (or lack thereof) of Chris
McDavid's editorials.

I do not feel that it is in the best
interest of the students who read
the Kentucky Kernel to be con-
stantly bombarded by idiotic and
senseless articles that serve only
as a form of therapy for Mr.
McDavid.

If he thinks he needs totalkend-
lessly abom nothing. maybe he
should get in touch with a counse-
lor. but please. Mr. McDavid.
spare us of anymore of your
worthless articles.

My words of advice to you. Mr.
McDavid. is to get a life. and
somewhere along the way. get a
topic.

dent
