University Senate discusses size of new library

By GREGORY A. HALL
Senior Staff Writer

Many questions persist about a

proposed new
library

for the Univer-
sity. Questions
like “How
big?” and
“Where?" are
common.

As the scope
of plans begins
falling into ‘
place, one UK
physics professor WILLIS
gave the University Senate yester-
day his impression of the size for

the new library.

It is the “academic equivalent of
building Rupp Arena.” K.R. Subbas-
warny said.

Subbaswamy, the Senate library
committee chairman, and other UK
library officials addressed the facul-
ty body yesterday about plans for
the new library.

UK Libraries Director Paul Willis
said the current plan involves a new
central library of about 300,000
square feet

The most seriously considered
spot for the new library is on Clifton
Circle, by the Rose Street parking
garage.

An additional 100,000 square feet
of space could be put into the pro-

building Rupp Arena."

ject for a life sciences wing, Willis
said.

While administrators said they
have not put a cost on the project,
Eugene Williams, vice president for
Information Systems, said the total
would be between $40 and $45 mil-
lion.

He said the University hopes to
obtain between $10 and $20 million
in private funding for the project.

The proposal will be presented to
the Kentucky Council on Higher
Education before going to the 1992
session of the General Assembly for
funding.

Construction could begin in 1993,
and the new library could open in
fall 1995, Willis said.

would not be torn down, but re-
stored to the way it originally

Like most UK students, Kerry
Cauthen and his friends plan to
use spring break to hang out

Literally.

Cauthen, a 22-yearold senior
from Walton, Ky., is a self-
described hang-gliding enthusiast
His idea of fun is searching the
sky for thermal pockets, running
off mountains and excelling in a
sport he admits some people think
iscrazy.

“When you actually lift off, the
feeling is undescribablc," Cauthen
said. It’s just you and this

HANGING OUT

feeling.”

It's a feeling he shares with
three friends — Mike Effinger,
Denis Yalmut and Doug Cauthen,
his brother — and one he hopes to
share with many more people.
Last month, the group organized a
new club through the University
— the UK Hang Cats.

The new organization will hold
its first meeting tonight for any
student, faculty or staff member
interested in joining the club or
just curious about what a hang
glider looks like. Meeting time is
7 pm. in 228 Student Center.

Cauthen, the club’s vice presi-
dent, said he isn’t sure how turn—
out will be because it’s almost im-

possible to tell how many hang
gliding enthusiasts the are at UK.

He said he hopes the club will
attract experts, amateurs —— and
especially those who are interested
despite only catching a glimpse of
the sport on late-night ESPN.

“I think probably people said,
‘Wouldn‘t that be fun to do,‘ but
never took the second step” to find
out more about it, Cauthen said.

”It doesn't take much to get
hooked," said Effinger, the club
president and a sophomore from
Lexington. After his first hang
gliding experience, he said, “I was
sold.“

Cautlten said the group‘s main
goal this year is to make a trip

down to the Tennessee mountains
to hang glide during spring break.
But the focus will be on educating
people so they can decide whether
it‘s for them.

“The more people we get the
better," said Denis Yalkut, a 22-
year-old UK student from Lexing-
ton. “The big thing is to expose
people to hang gliding to let
them know what hang gliding is.
Hang gliding is a sport, it’s safe
and it’s a lot of fun."

And just because you’re a hang
glider doesn‘t necessarily mean
you like to take risks, they said.

looked in 1931 when it was opened,
Willis said.

After the renovations, which
c0uld be done in 1997, King South
would house special collections.

Willis said a new library had
been on the agenda for some years
but was not brought to the forefront
until UK President Charles Weth-
ington announced the project during
a speech to the Senate last year.

The call for a new, relocated cen-
tral library “really represents a ma-
jor departure” from past plans, Wil-
lis said.

Library officials are consulting
faculty and college groups to gather
opinion about consolidating UK’s
branch libraries.

Williams said there will be some
consolidation, but no branch librar-
ies will be closed.

There are “no plans to convert the
medical center library into a video
parlor,” Subbaswarny said.

Although faculty opinions are
mixed about consolidation, some de-
panments may put up less of a fight
than others.

Willis said the geology branch li—
brary on the first floor of Bowman
Hall has more bathtubs (4) than any
other library in the United States.

The Senate also approved a reso-
lution rcaffirrning faculty commit-
ment to “free and open exchange of
ideas and opinions" concerning the
Persian Gulf War.

Court orders
student to pay
back sorority

By LAURA CARNES
Contributing Writer

After a legal wrangle lasting al-
most one ycar, a UK student was or»
dered last month by Fayette Districr
Court to pay the housing corpora-
tion of her social sorority one se-
mester’s rent, lawyer‘s fees and
court costs.

Alpha Omicron Pi's Corporation
Board, a body of the sorority"s
alumni responsible for “keeping the
house floating financially,“ sucd
Tina Henson for breaching her con-
tract by moving out early and fail-
ing to pay her final installment of
rent. said Thomas Prewitt, attorney
for the Corporation Board.

Before moving into the Alpha
Omicron Pi house, Henson, a sec-
ond-year pharmacy student, signed
a contract on Feb. 26, 1989 binding
her to pay $3,000 of yearly rent, ac—
cording to Lexington court docu-
ments.

Henson said she moved out of the
sorority house because the lack of a
designated study room and high
noise level in the house hurt her
grades during the 1989 fall semcs
ter.

To help her study, Henson said
she “spent a couple of nights in the
dorms in the study rooms."

Kristi Farmer. Corporation Board
president, and LCSIIC Evcritt, the so-
rority’s chapter president. declined
tocomment.

Henson said she approached
Farmer in Novembcr about tcrnti-
nating her housing contract at the
end of the semester.

Henson said that on the same day.
she also met Wllh Dwaiiic Urccii,
assistant to the Dean of Student Af-
fairs tn thc College of Pharirtacy.

U.S. steps up air war; Bush considers ground attack

By FRED BAYLES
Associated Press

DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia — Fa-
vored by the desert sun, U.S. and al-
lied jets stepped up the air war yes-
terday with hundreds more bombing
runs against Iraqi targets. The city
of Basra, strategic heart of Iraq’s de-
fense, was believed all but cut off.

Iraq fired a missile that hit Israel
early today.

“We hated to come back, but we
ran out of bombs," an exuberant
U.S. Air Force pilot told reporters
on his return from a bombing run.

As U.S. air commanders pressed
this “battlefield preparation phase,"
President Bush met with his war ad-
visers to consider ordering Ameri-
can troops onto that battlet'ield —- in
a decisive ground war for Kuwait

Emerging from a White House
meeting with Defense Secretary
Dick Cheney and joint chiefs chair-

man Gen. Cols
in Powell, both
just back from
Saudi Arabia.
the president
said the air war
“will continue
for a while."

As for a
ground offen-
sive, Bush
said, “we’re not
talking about
dates."

In Baghdad, the government an-
nounced it was reaching still deeper
into the Iraqi population -—- into the
schools —— for teen-age soldiers to
help “destroy the enemies of God
and humanity."

Also yesterday, Iraq's religious
affairs minister, Abdullah Fadel,
said "thousmds" of civilians have
been killed or wounded in allied
bombings. It was the first time a

senior Iraqi official had spoken of
such high civilian losses. The gov-
ernment previously listed 650 civil—
ian dead.

Peace activist and former U.S. at-
torney general Ramsey Clark, new-
ly returned to New York from a
week in Iraq. said the chief of the
country's Red Cross affiliate esti-
mated civilian deaths at 6,(X)0 to
7,000.

In the Middle East and elsewhere,
the quest for peace continued.

A Soviet envoy, Yevgeny Prima-
kov, ventured into bomb-battered
Baghdad to meet with Iraqi Presi-

dent Saddam
Hussein early
today about a
Kremlin initia-
tive to end the
war. In Yugosla-
via, representa-
tives of IS non-
aligned nations
began consider-
ing an Iranian
bid to mediate
an end to the

SADDAM

conflict

The Soviets and Iranians say Iraq
must agree to end its 6-month—old
occupation of Kuwait, a condition
Sadt‘hm has rejected. Before head-
ing to Baghdad, Primakov stopped
in Tehran to coordinate his activi-
ties with the Iranians.

Since last week, in a buildup to
ground war, Operation Desert
Storm's air arm has intensified its
attacks on Iraqi positions and sup-

ply Iines, particularly bridges, in the
Kuwait Theater of Operations ~
Kuwait and southern Iraq.

Brightening skies yesterday ena—
bled air commanders to mount
2,9(X) sorties over 24 hours. hun-
dreds more than on any recent day.
The US command said 750 mis-
sions were directed against Iraqi po.
sitions in the Kuwait theater, includ-
ing 200 against the dugin
Republican Guard, the Iraqi army's
elite units.

Basra again was hit hard. The
southern Iraqi port is both headquar-
ters for the Iraqi defense and a
transshipment point for supplies go-
ing to troops in southern Iraq and in
Kuwait, 30 miles to the south.

A U.S. command spokesman,

son said she received a 2.1] grade
point average and a total of six cred-
it hours of “D" grades.

The College of Pharmacy bulletin
contains a rule that students receiv-
ing more than cight credit hours of
“D" grades can be forced to repeat
those courses before they can take
other courses.

Green said he met wrth Henson to
“caution her on the circumstance"
that she could exceed the eight-hour
limit if she received one more I).

“So, basically, I could have lost a
whole entire year if I had gotten an-
other D,“ Henson said.

After moving out of the house.
Henson said she rcccrvcd a 2.67 av-
erage and no “D" grades.

According to court documents.
Farmer sent Henson a memo on
Nov. 17. 1989, informing Henson
that she could tcrrninate her contract
by having another sorority member
take Henson‘s place in the house.

Although another \OI’OI'IIy mem-
ber decided later not to fill Hen-
son‘s spot, Henson said she still
moved out of the house the follow-
ing January and asked to be sus-
pended from the sorority.

At the end of the spring semester,
Henson \‘dld she began receiving
letters from the Corporation
Board's rittomcy.

“I made cfforts to attempt to set-
tlc thc mattci \thUUI filing suit,"
I’rcwrtt said. .

He stud surng Henson was “the

Henson stressed that she has no

Curry, UK staff blitz Louisville in recruiting battle

Imagine this:

Bill Curry sitting in his office un-
der Commonwealth Stadium. Feet
popped up on his desk. It’s early
January. He's watching a football
game, and during a timeout a beer
commercial comes on. He starts
thinking:

“Gee. wouldn’t it be great if we
could. after a 47 season. sign some
of the best high school players to
UK .7 And finish with a Top 15 class.
Get most of state's best high school
blue-chippers. And shut out Louis-
ville.

“Gee, wouldn't it be great?"

Well, the game comes back on
and Curry realizes that even though
he and his staff have worked their
butts off, Louisville just killed Ala~
bama in the Fiesta Bowl.

“That should give them a big
edge. We'll just have to work twice
as hard."

Curry’s dream came true. UK

landed possibly the most talented re-
cruiting class ever to sign letters of
intent to play football in Lexington.
The Tommy Limbaugh-led UK re-
cruiting staff accomplished, basical-
ly, everything it wanted to this
spring.

Curry, Limbaugh and the rest of
the staff were non-stop for two
months, and it all paid off.

They trekked to the comers of the
state and throughout the Southeast
to find the talent — and people —
they n‘eded. Not only did they get
great athletes, but they also got
well-respected student-athletes.

One route Curry‘s assistants trav-

eled the most during the recmiting
period was to Bowling Green, Ky.,
the home of Kentucky’s “Mr Foot-
ball" Damon Hood. And all that
travel paid off on Sunday as the 6-2,
205—pound mega-star became the
last of 22 high school seniors to put
his faith and trust in Curry and UK.

Have no doubt, UK dominated re—
cruiting in the state.

If you didn't know better, you'd
think Kentucky beat the hell out of
Alabama in the Fiesta Bowl on New
Year's Day, and Louisville had a 4—
7 season. As you know, Louisville
embarrassed the Crimson Tide 34-7,
and the Wildcats finished with the
sub-.500 record.

But Louisville’s victory did not
signal the start of state-dominance.
The dominance belonged to that
lean former NFL center, with the
steel look and now wearing blue and
white.

Temple, Murray State and maybe a
couple of Division 111 teams just
didn‘t cut it.

Football players are competitors,
as Schnellenberger knows, and they
want to play against the best and in
front of large crowds and on nation-
al television. UK plays in the South-
eastern Conference, generally con-
sidered the country’s best
conference year in and year out, top
to bottom.

Plus, TBS has a contract with the
SEC to televise a game each week.
At times, the SEC has had two,
three or four games on national TV
on a Saturday.

The SEC is a football player's
dream. The competition doesn't get
any better.

UK plays at the 57,800-seat Com-
monwealth Stadium, which could be
in for some expansion (up to about
78,000) during the next few years.

UK already has the 5.1. Nutter
Training Facility and will have an
indoor practice facility in a year or
two. UK is making the commitment.

Perhaps Louisville does not have
enough money to build a new stadi-
um or practice facility because it has
to pay Schnellenberger so much.

But in Louisville’s defense, it
played on New Year's Day, and UK
didn‘t.

All that could change if this group
of recruits pans out —- lives up to
expectations, which often is impos-
siblc.

This is but one recruiting class.
Curry knows that one class does not
make a great team. If UK can keep
doing this, a great team can be born.
Only time will tell, but it looks great
so far.

Barkley: NBA’s punishing force

By JIM LITKE
Associated Press Columnist

CHARLOTTE, NC —— Pro bas-
ketball‘s most mthless competitor is
also one of its most sensitive souls.
Its smallest big man and its biggest
small man. Its resident critic and
conscience, and is there any doubt
any more, its hardest-working?

Charles Barkley, a stout 6-4 and
250 pounds, is all of those things,
and as of 4:30 p.m. Sunday, he was
one thing more: The most valuable
player in the NBA’s annual Show of
Shows.

And it seemed fitting someh0w
that the man who planned to skip
this game altogether outplayed the
rest of the best because he was not
playing at all.

Barkley's 17-point, 22-rcbound
performance Sunday ——- replete with
the usual trash-talking, pushing and
shoving and knocking people down
~ let it be known that the phrase
“it’s only an exhibition" does not
appear anywhere in his considerable
vocabulary.

“I hate Charles,” Magic Johnson
said within earshot of Barkley, tak-

ing pains to smile when he said it,
“because he throws everybody out
of the way and complains to the ref
if somebodyjust nicks him.

“He's a manchild. He controlled
the inside. That‘s what kept us from
getting into our transition game.
Charles set the tone for the way the
game was played.“

That is the short answer to the
question of how Barkley's East beat
Magic’s West squad 116—114 in the
lowest scoring All-Star game since
1975.

For the longer version, we turn to
the round mound of contradictions
himself, whose relentless banging
under both boards influenced peo-
ple, but won him few friends.

“Actually," Barkley said, “I kind
of enjoyed this. The game was a lit-
tle more interesting because people
were playing defense for a change.
It wasn't like, ‘Get out of the way
and let this guy dunk, get out of the
way, let that guy dunk.‘ I don’t play
that way."

It is worth noting that, but for a
midweek call from NBA commis-
sioner David Stern ordering his ap-

pearance in Charlotte, Barkley
would not have played at all.

A little more than three weeks
ago, he suffered a stress fracture,
then twisted the ankle of the same
left foot and sat out seven games to
let the injuries begin healing.

Barkley was back in the 76ers
lineup for the four games before the
break and, despite being voted a
starter, Barkley planned to go home
to Leeds, Ala, and let his mother
and grandmother dote on him and
his foot over the long weekend in-
stead. Then came the phone call.

Barkley and Stern, it turns out,
talk often and get along well, con-
sidering that almost all of their con-
versations end up costing Charles
more than the toll charge.

Last season, the commissioner
slapped him once with a $5,000 fine
for engaging in friendly wagers with
the Knicks’ Mark Jackson, and a
second time for $20,000 after a
76ers-Pistons brawl in which Bark-
ley tried to separate Bill Laimbeer
from his senses with a looping left
hook.

On the occasion of the first fine,
Barkley left the league’s New York
headquarters after his pockets were
lightened and quipped, “I went to
bed as Charles Barkley and woke up
as Pete Rose.”

And he grouscd more than any-
thing about missing his favorite
soaps on TV that afternoon.

On the occasion of the second
fine. Barkley noted that more than a
few people would pay for the privi-
lege of laying out Laimbeer, then
added that he made 53 million a
year, “so what's a few thousand dol-
lars?"

Barkley and Stern had another
talk Sunday just before the All—Star
game.

“He came into the locker room
and said, ‘I‘m glad you’re here, we
needed you.‘ We had a nice conver-
sation,” Barkley recalled. “It was
nice of him to do that."

Having revealed however
briefly —- his sensitive side, Barkley
went out and promptly tore into the
high-priced talent that had the mis-
fortune of dressing in red on this
particular day.

Though he got out of no one‘s
way. nearly everybody got out of
his, eventually.

Two of Barkley's baskets came
on rim-rattling stuffs, two were
stickbacks and only one came from
outside five feet.

And at one point, Barkley chased
his man toward the free throw line
and into a screen set by the Suns‘ 6-
], l80-pound Kevin Johnson, whom
he promptly flattened.

“Physical intimidation is part of
the game. I went up to him right af-
ter it happened and apologized, but I
can‘t let guys like that set a pick on

v

me.

‘ - “My Kernel, Tuesday. February 12, 1991

Fox’s ‘Color’ a refreshing change

By JULIA L LAWSON

‘ . Staff Critic

“Where a kid can be a kid, un-

' Its he get on my damn nerves!”

—Homey the Clown.

After the “Cosby Show" and way
after “Leave It To Beaver, ” there
was “In Living Color " This dark
comedy proves that there are more
colors than just black and white.

With humor that either makes
you laugh or cringe, this new come-

- dy on the Fox Network is raking in

the reviews, not to mention the
money.

Although the show has gotten
many bad responses, the fact that
Fox can even get away with some
of the stunts the show pulls is a mir—
acle in itself.

For those of you still living in a

' cave, “In Living Color" stars Kee-

nen Ivory Wayans, a former McDo-
nald's manager, who also produces
the show and writes scripts for
some episodes.

Family ties seem to be strong for
Wayans. The show includes his

I brother Damon Wayans, his sister

Kim, and his younger brother SW-
1.

Damon Wayans, the show steal-
er, is the infamous Homey the
Clown. As a prisoner on a work re-
lease program, Homey still holds a
strong grudge against the “whitey
who still holds ’em down" — ’em
is the black man.

Through his involvement with

 

CRITIC’S
NOTEBOOK

children, Homey (as well as the
show’s writers) voices his opinions
against those in authority. The irony
in this skit is that he is a clown — a
bringer of fun-loving humor to
good, little children. Not even
close!

Don't tick Homey off or you'll
get the clump on the head with the
sock full of who knows what, fol—
lowed by the original “I don’t think
so. Homey don't play that.” (It
sounds much better when he says
it.)

The Tom Brothers skit, played by
real-life brothers Keenen and Dam-
on, is a real play-down on the
“brothers who don’t even know
who Martin Luther King, Jr. is."

With their button—down shins
buttoned to the top, the brothers
thank the people who “lit a burning
cross in their front yard so they
could find their keys."

With the Men on Films skit, “In
Living Color" shows just how
much nerve it has and how far it’s
willing to take it.

David Alan Grier and Damon
Wayans play two overtly homosex-
ual critics of movies and books.
The fact that some might think gay
activists might be angered by the
skit shows how easy~going some
people are.

Some wrote the show saying that

they objected to the skit, other
viers, who were admittedly gay,
told the show that they would be
disappointed if it was taken Off be-
cause one night a week they went to
a bar to watch Men on Film remns.

For those of you who “hated it,"
if they can laugh at the subject, so
can you.

When the show started, “The
Homeboy Shopping Network" was
a big hit. Although it has been re-
placed with others, it remains one
of the show’s best skits. Two black
men parodied the Home Shopping
Network by running their own
show out of the back of their stolen
truck, selling their stolen goods to
earn “Mo Muny, Mo Muny, Mo
Muny."

Hey Mon! was an excellent skit
about a Jamaican family who
earned several livings. The father
fell in love with the mother, not be-
cause of her beauty or personality
but because she “fiteen job." The
father —— a mailman, a cook, a
welder, and anything else related to
work — is played by Damon Way-
ans.

If you are a big rap music fan,
then this is the show for you. Be—
sides Heavy D, who sings the
theme song, there have been many
big-name rappers including Queen
Latifah and Flavor Flave. And if
you don’t know what a Flavor
Flave is then you have a lot of
catching up to do.

Let‘s not forget Tommy David-
son who does an excellent Spike
Lee. During the skit, Davidson gets
the stutter down just right but still
can‘t unload his excess copies of
“School Daze.”

With their spoof on illiteracy,
Wayans plays a street-wise burger
joint worker. He gives the new boy
a tip that he will never become fry
guy because it's saved for the smart
white boys. “It’s a conspiracy, C-O-
N-spiracy.”

“In Living Color" is a show for
those who are sick of the unrealistic
Huxtable clan but bored with phony
shows like “Twin Peaks."

I offer this warning though the
color you might be when you finish
this show will be a flaming red.

 

 

Tradition

Rap has its roots in black American music

College lnformatlon Network

Rap music‘s message of em-
powerment, anger and provoca-
tive cries for social change comes
from a long tradition of black
American music.

Such music spans more than
400 years, with unwritten songs
passed from generation to genera-
tion. While the songs conveyed
social commentary, education and
personal expression, their com-
mercial success has also influ-
enced almost every form Of mod-
ern U.S. music.

“Music has helped blacks sus-
tain and survive the ordeal
they've gone through in the Unit—
ed States,” said Jacqueline Cog-
dell DjeDje, 3 UCLA professor of
ethnomusicology. “Music was
one of the ways slaves could
maintain elements Of the mother
country.”

Rap is only one of many forms
of music used t
