eaver asks for unity, cooperation in SGA

By JOE BRAUN
Assistant Editorial Editor

Turmoil dominated last night's
Student Government Association
Senate committee meetings, despite
at least one attempt by a senator to
quiet the storm.

Senator at Large Misty Weaver's
call for cooperation and effective
communication helped to open last
night's meeting.

“SGA bashing is not just the

(Kentucky) Kemel’s favorite spat
anymore; it’s coming from within
our own organization," she said.

But less than a half hour later, di-
vision resurfaced when President
Scott Crosbie and Ans and Scienc—
es Senator Jay lngle were heard
yelling behind closed doors while
bills were being considered.

Much of the turmoil surrounded
a possible campuswide referendum
to institute election reforms, which
Crosbie supports but some senators

099°33-

“While stories might be about the
election rules or the referendum is-
sue, the message — and the mes-
sage that makes me so angry —— is
that SGA is a poor organization
with serious internal problems,"
Weaver said.

Her address centered on division
between the executive branch and
the senate caused by the election re-
forms.

Two campus groups establish
VanMeter volunteer award

By MARC DALEY
Contributing Writer

A service award in Darrell Van-
Meter's name will help keep the
memory of the UK student and his
volunteer work alive.

The Darrell VanMeter Service
Award, established by the UK Stu-
dent Volunteer Center and Student
Organizations Assembly, will be
presented to a UK student who has
made contributions to the UK cam-
pus and the Lexington community
in the form of volunteer service. It
is one of the first volunteer awards
given by UK named for a student.

VanMeter, 19, of Louisville, Ky.,
died of natural causes while playing
basketball Nov. 15, 1991.

His volunteer work was well-

known and will not be forgotten,
said Sally Moore, director of the
Student Volunteer Center.

“Darrell exemplified what the
true good Samaritan should be,"
she said. “He did a lot of his volun-
teer work quietly. He wasn‘t look-
ing for a pat on the back for his
work."

VanMeter, who was an architec-
ture sophomore, was a member of
Phi Beta Sigma social fraternity
and Black Achievers. He also
worked with Simba Elimika, a cam-
pus organirarion that is dedicated
to the unification of blacks at UK.

“When Darrell was in high
school, he worked with a program
that helped minority students get to
college. Even after he got out of
high school, he still did a lot of

work to help that program," said
David Hasler, SOA president and
UK finance senior.

Chester Grundy, director of mi-
nority student affairs, said he al-
ways was impressed with VanMe-
ter.

“What impressed me the most is
that the group would go around to
public schools, especially primary
schools, and try to get the kids in-
volved in cultural activities,"
Grundy said. “Darrell was a regular
pan of this. He was a person who
loved children."

Moore and Hasler, worked to-
gether to establish the award, which
officially was approved by SGA mt

six of eight reforms proposed by
elections board chairman Jim
Knrspe failed. That led Vice Presi-
dent Keith Sparks to call for the
referendum.

Last night, the campus relations
committee drafted its own proposal
for a referendum that would allow
students to vote separately on each
election mle change, said Commu-
nications Senator Shawn Meaux.

Crosbie's referendum called for
students to vote “for or against

these proposals as a block,” not in-
dividually.

The new proposal, drafted by In-
gle and senators at large Allen Put-
man and Ashley Boyd would be in-
cluded in the regular election in
March, unlike Crosbie’s which
would take place in the next few
weeks.

lngle said he and other campus
relations committee members are in
favor of election reform, but they
would like to see it handled in dif-

ferently.

Other bills considered by the op-
erations and evaluations committee
also last night evoked controversy.

The bills, proposed by Graduate
School Senator Adrian Jones,
called for the addition of eight sen-
ators to the senate.

These organizations include the

Anti-abortion rally
draws large crowd

By VICTOR A. BINGHAM lll
Contributing Writer

FRANKFORT, Ky. -— An esti-
mated 2,000 to 3,000 participants,
including many young children,
took part in an anti-abortion rally
held on the steps of the State Capi-
tol Tuesday.

Among those who addressed the
throng that braved the chilly weath-
er werc clergy members, legislators
and leaders of activist groups. The
crowd on the Capitol steps chanted
and sang, and many clutched signs
denouncing abortion.

“The right to life is a moral, relig-
ious and human rights issue," said
the Rev. William A. Hughes, bishop
of the Catholic Diocese of Coving-
ton. “No one has the right to freely
choose to take the life of another
person."

Hughes said abortion has relegat-
ed the unborn to being treated “as
disposable property," which has
eroded respect for all human life.

In a conciliatory gesture, Hughes

urged the crowd to rcspcct the
viewpoints of abortion-rights acti-
vists. Hughes said the two sides
should rcfrain from name-calling or
other tactics that inflame the dc—
bate.

“Thc hCSt-kcpt secret In the Unit»
ed States today ts America is
pro-life, that we are the majority,"
said Alidia Gator, the national di-
rector of American Victims of
Abortion. “We are not the pathetic
minority who can't get their voices
raised together . At the same
time, with the samc thought.“

Gator’s spccch touched upon the
collective efforts of the crowd with
the help of the churches to pressure
the public and General Assembly to
pass stricter abortion laws.

“We must bring pressure along
with the church to stop this sense-
less murder," Gator said.

House Bill 203, currently under
consideration, is designed to regu-
late and licence abortion clinics.

Wildcats’ 98-76 Victory
over Rebels ends slump

By JOHN KELLY
Assistant Sports Editor

Ever been to a movie when some-
one's already told you the ending?

Those who have will understand
why: If they missed UK's 98-76
thumping of Ole Miss at Rupp Are-
na last night, you didn't miss much.

Ole Miss did little to protest the
pre-game assessment that it would
lose by as many as 30 points.

Thus, as UK methodically dis-
mantled the Rebels. the crowd had
to find alternative ways to entertain
itself.

The absolute highest dramatic
point in the game was the first time
that freshman Andre Riddick
stepped to the free-throw line.

Riddick sported a new-fangled,
one-handed, looks-a-lot-like-a-
crane free-throw stance that abso-
lutely delighted the crowd and the
UK bench.

Every time Riddick went to the
line, the crowd would rise to its
feet. every UK player would kneel
in front of the bench in anticipation
and bath groups would erupt when
Riddick connected on three of his
eight attempts.

“I looked at (UK coach) Rick
(Pitino) and he had his head bur-
ied," Mississippi coach Ed Murphy
said.“ They were something."

Prior to last night‘s game. Rid—
dick continually had frustrated him-
self and Pitino with his 16.7 per-
centage of free throws made.

“What we‘re trying to do is start
with the basics, break it down and
make him mechanically correct,”
Pitino said of the experiment. “In
time, we‘ll let his left hand come

back on the ball. By the end of the
season. I expect him to be hitting 50
or 60 percent from the line."

Beyond Riddick's eight trips to
the line. there was little excitement
in the game.

But the best performance came
from senior point guard Sean
Woods. who had a nine-to-one as-
sist to turnover ratio to follow an
eight-to-one mark he had against
Arkansas.

Pitino attributed Woods‘ perfor-
mance to his unselfishness, a prod-
uct of recent grillings from his
coach that he would get to the NBA
— not by scoring a lot of points but
by helping make his teammates bet-
ter.

“He kept pounding it into my
head," Woods said. “I learned that
assist-to-tumover ratio is more im-
portant than scoring points."

Woods had only six points, but
Pitino dubbed him as the game‘s
star.
“Without question, he was the
reason we won this game tonight,"
Pitino said.

UK jumped out to an early lead
in the first half that it never relin-
quished. Mississippi's Kevin Wat-
kins scored the opening basket of
the game, but UK answered the
lone shot with nine straight points.

The Cats’ lead grew to as much
as 22 in the first half.

Last night's theme was total dom-
ination on the UK side, but the
Rebels lent a helping hand.

While the Cats were racking up
29 rebounds in the first half, Ole
Miss played the boards as though
its black Nike hightops were filled
with lead. The Rebels grabbed only

10 rebounds, but only through shear
happenstance.

On most occasions. they never
contested the Cats under the basket.

“We came out and my junior col-
lege kids just watched the game,"
Murphy said. “They were frozen."

Late in the first half. three Rebel
players surrounded the basket as a
UK shot hit the front of the rim. But
as the ball bounced from the hoop.
they simply watched it soar into the
hands of a surprised Jamal Mash-
burn.

None of the three left the ground
— or even looked as if they knew
where the ball was.

Mashbum received the freebie re-
bound and promptly, maybe forgiv-
ingly. tossed it back to Dillard
Quick. Maybe it was an accident;
Or maybe Mashbum felt sorry for
being the benefactor of such a lack-
luster effort by an opponent.

Quick, obviously still napping,
watched the ball bounce off his
forehead and into the hands of
sophomore point guard Travis Ford.

UK finally turned the mess into
two points. That was just one exam-
ple of the way the half went.

Murphy said UK‘s perimeter dc-
tense was the key and Pitino
agreed.

“We wanted to concentrate on
their three-point shooting,” Pitino
said. “They had six or seven players
that shoot it actively.

“They take the
threes in our league."

Pitino also acknowledged the re-
bounding margin in the first half as
a key factor.

“We got out on the break 37
times tonight, which is good." Piti-
no said. “And the first half, we
were excellent on the backboards."

The Rebels got a wake-up call
during the intermission, probably in
the form of a ribbing from Murphy.

As the minutes waned, Pitino
cleared his bench, giving all of his
players minutes on the floor.

The seat in the fourth division of
district court was vacated when
Lewis Paisley was elected to the
Sixth Division of Circuit Court.

The list of candidates is long —
eight others are ntnning against
Hayse. including Paisley's ex-wife,
Carol Paisley.

Because the election is six
months away. the office will be
filled temporarily with a gubernato-
rial appointee. A special nomimting
committee will meet beginning Feb.
10 to nominate a candidate to the
governor.

All nine candidates in the race are
among the names that have been
submitted to the special committee
for consideration.

Haysesaidifoneofthecandi-
dates is appointed by the govemor
to the position. that candidate could
have the upper hand in the Novem-

bet chains.

”that would certainly put them in
an incumbent's position.” Hayse
said.

Hayse said he doesn’t expect any-
thing. but that he hopes the UK
cornmttnity will support him in the
election. He said the community
should. at the very least. be cort-
eerned with this particular race.

“I would like to believe that the
University population would at least
take an interest." Hayse said. “I we

portant position to them.

“if they thought about it. they
would realize that they come into

to Hayse and Paisley, include Jim
Marshall Alexander, Walter W.
May, William P. Thurman, Don

the bill last year. but it
was tabled in committee.

Crosbie. listed as a co-sponsor of
the bill. said he believes the addi-
tional senators are needed.

“i feel it’s something that has to
be discussed no matter what the
outcome. It's something students
need — proper representation —-
and even if the discussion brings
about awareness to the problem of
representation on this campus 1
think the bill has done its job.”
Crosbie said.

Senator at Large Rob Blhenicky
said. “Who’s to say that otha
groups len't just a qualified?"

Jones su'd he believed all stu-
dents clt identify with one of these
groups and that senators at large
aren’t as familiar with the needs of
the particular organizations a are
members of the groups.

But Elhenicky said the senators
already represent those groups.

“My job is senator at large: my
responsibility is to represent all
these people. as well as many other
groups.” Elhenicky said.

The committee also favorably
passed another bill to the floor. The
bill would no longer require presi-
dential and vice presidential candi-
dates to run together on tickets.

If the bill abolishing tickets is
pmsed by the full senate next
Wednesday. it would replace a bill
passed last year that required tick-
ets.

That bill was sponsored by then-

president Sarah Coursey.

your remark was directed to our

“With this thought in mind. I am

SGA Vice President Keith Sparks
said he was not in favor of splitting
tickets.

“The potential harm that bill
could do would be to elect two peo-
ple who oppose each other. and you
would have no continuity at all in
office,” Sparks said.

He said the turbulence caused by
two executive officers that can't
work together could hinder the
working of the executive branch.

Putman said the idea of having
tickets “needs to be looked at again
Both sides of the coin (should

be reviewed), as to whether they
should be elected together or elect-
ed at merit.

“When we originally passed the
bill we thought that it would be in
the best interest of the entire student
body. When you start looking at
things. and the way it works out,
the senate and the executive branch
are very different. The senate de-
serves and has the right to a strong
leader as much as the executive
branch does.“

The vice president presides over
the senate.

ANTI-ABORTION

he smile on Twila Greene's

face beamed as she watched

a friend play peek-a—boo
with her 3-month-old son Benja-
min, who is still perfecting his
own toothless grin. He laughs a
baby's laugh — barely audible but
surely one of God's most beautiful
creations.

It's not an unusual scene, but
one that should remind us, as we
mark 19 years since Roe vs.
Wade, what the real issue is in the
issue of the 19905. With a Penn-
sylvania case the Supreme Court
will hear later this year, America
is on the verge of having the fes-
tering wound of abortion reo-
pened. It is an issue that likely will
divide the nation more than it has
been since the Civil Rights battles
of the 19605.

Since the Supreme Court made
abortion legal in 1973, America
has, bit by bit, been lured into be-
lieving the lie that abortion is only
an issue of choice, or privacy or
the Constitution.

Abortion is much simpler than
that. It's about children —— thou-
sands, even millions of them, who
have been killed for the sake of
convenience. It’s about children
who die deaths as horrible as any-
thing the Nazis delivered at
Auschwitz. It’s about children
who will never smile, never laugh,
never play.

We have been numbed by the
numbers of abortions in this coun-
u'y. The statistics are so staggering
they have become meaningless:
1.6 million a year, 4,400 a day,
and nearly three every minute. As
one bumper sticker put it, the most
dangerous place to live in America
is not in the inner-city ghettos, but
inside a mother’s womb.

In the days of abortion on de-
mand, Benjamin is fortunate just
to be alive. Nationwide, one of
every three children conceived is
aborted.

In New York City, abortions
oumumber live births two to one.
Many people, it seems, are no
longer awestruck by the miracle of
life.

But is it life that is being de-
stroyed? That seems to be the
question those in favor of legal
abortion keep asking.

At conception, the sperm and
the ovum form one cell, which has
the entire genetic blueprint to form
a new human being.

At a little over three weeks fol-
lowing the mother‘s first missed
period, the heart begins beating.
At six weeks, the baby’s brain
waves can be measured.

And by the eighth week — still
shy of two full months — every
organ that an adult has is in its
place, only in a smaller size.
Aren‘t these the signs of life? Af-
ter the eight weeks following the

first missed period, a fetus is sim-
ply growing, just like a child out-
side the womb.

Pro—abortionists argue that a fe-
tus isn't viable until about 20
weeks. But, what does viable
mean? A l-year-old is not viable
if it is left unattended? A child
needs warmth, food and oxygen
whether it is inside the womb or
out. Given the proper care, a child
outside the womb will grow into
an adult just as an unborn child ——
at one day or five months —
eventually will be able to survive

Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who
circulated many of those figures
before the 1973 Supreme Court
hearings. now says that figure ac-
tually was closer to 500. In 1972,
Nathanson admits, only 39 abor-
tion-related deaths were recorded.

That is not to say that a wom-
an's life is of lesser value than a
child, but compared to 1.6 million,
39 deaths doesn't seem to com-
pare.

Nathanson. author of the best-
selling Aborting America, had a
change of heart after heading the
world's l
