'Wilkinson pledges more funds for community colleges

By TONJA WILT
Campus Editor

Kentucky Gov. Wallace Wilkin-
son said last night that he will ask
the General Assembly to appropri-
ate funds in the next session to
bring the state’s community col-
lege system to catch it up to the
state’s eight universities.

“We cannot continue to expand
the educational opportunities these
colleges provide to our citizens and
at the same time steadily reduce
their share of the money we appro-
priate for higher education," Wil-
kinson told several hundred people
last night at the Raddison Hotel at
a banquet celebrating the Commu-
nity College System's 25th anni-
versary. “Therefore, I intend to ask
the General Assembly in 1990 to
approve a ‘catch-up’ appropriation
as a line-item in the executive bud—
get to eliminate this growing dis-

parity in the funding of the Com-
munity College System in Ken-
lucky.

“I believe that providing an edu-
cational opponunity to every Ken-
tuckian regardless of economic stat-
us means means guaranteeing a 14-
year education," Wilkinson said.
“Therefore I also am going to rec-
ommend another level of funding
that will guarantee at least the first
two years of higher education for
any student who lacks the financial
resources to pay for his or her own
education.”

Wilkinson also criticized the for-
mula to fund higher education, but
he did not offer any alternative
ways to fund it.

“I do not believe in automatic-
pilot formula driven funding,” he
said. “Quite frankly at this time I
do not have a better recommenda—
tion, so if one does not have a bet-
ter recommendation. then you use

what’s there. I don‘t have a better
proposal so in the absence of a bet-
ter solution, I ought not be critical
of it.”

Wilkinson’s announcement fol-
lowed a report issued yesterday
morning by the Commission on
the Future of the University of
Kentucky Community College
System on ways to improve the fu-
ture of UK’s 14 community colleg-
es.

Kentucky’s community colleges
enroll 25 percent or 33,063 of all
of the state’s college students and
are larger than any four—year col—
lege, but they receive only 8 per-
cent of the state's higher education
appropriations, former Kentucky
Gov. Bert Combs said at a press
conference.

tem also is funded at only 67 per-

Professionals should manage
state’s education, Nunn says

By MARK R. CHELLGREN
Associated Press

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Former
Gov. Louie B. Nunn said yesterday
that the state should create a new,
professional council to administer
education at all levels, from pre-
school to doctoral programs at uni-
versities.

Coincidental to the creation of
the new super council would be the
abolition of the current State Board
of Education, Council on Higher
Education and the job of secretary
of education, Nunn said.

“Let full—time, trained profession-

als plan. study. recommend and
submit for legislative approval a
coordinated educational plan for
higher education and one geared to
accommodate our new elementary
and secondary educauonal system,“
Nunn said.

Nunn made his comments yester-
day to the Task Force on Education
Reform, the panel created to revise
Kentucky‘s public school system
to meet with the Supreme Court
ruling that the current system is
unconstitutional.

All former governors were invit-
ed to appear before the 22-member
task force. Only Nunn, Julian Car-

roll and Wendell Ford, now a US.
Senator, could make yesterday’s
meeting of the task force. Other
governors are expected to make lat—
er appearances before the group.

Nunn, the only living Republi-
can who served as govemor, said
the work of the task force is un-
precedented

The job of rebuilding a school
system that is constitutional and
adequate is “the most serious task,
the most important project, the
most far—reaching endeavor, the
most enduring consequence" of his

Florida anti-abortion forces defeated

By JACKIE HALIJFAX
Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — GOV.
Bob Martinez‘s legislative effort to
seek limits on abortions crumbled
when a special legislative session
adjourned without passing any
laws yesterday, three months after a
US. Supreme Court ruling gave
states a go-ahead for new restric-
tions.

Florida‘s House and Senate ad-
journed yesterday afternoon, just

one day after convening.

“A right, having been esta-
blished, is not easily removed,"
House Speaker Tom Gustafson
said. “Once the right to choice was
established and clearly understood
the right to privacy established
and clearly understood, people do
not willingly give up those free-
doms.”

Lawmakers in the House and
Senate shot down proposals that
would have curbed abortion in
many ways, including cutting pub-

lic financing and toughening clinic
regulations.

The session, first in the nation
after the Supreme Court ruling, had
been viewed as a bellwether. More
than 10,000 demonstrators descend-
ed upon the quiet Southern capital
to wage the first pitched battled
since the July decision that upheld
Missouri abortion limits.

UK libraries get access
to Library of Congress

By JONATHAN MILLER
Staff Writer

UK’s library system has been se-
lected for a pilot project to test el-
ectronic access to the Library of
Congress.

UK was chosen because it pro-
posed to offer statewide access,
which would send data electronical~
ly to rural parts of the state, accords
mg to Sandee McAninch, head of
government publications in the
Margaret I. King Library.

The project marks the first time
that the Library of Congress will
open its databases to the public,
McAninch said.

James Billington, a librarian at
the Library of Congress, met with
librarians throughout the country
who expressed interest in getting
access to the Library of Congress'
files.

“The Library of Congress wants
to see how the public reacts and
learn what files are selected out of a
total of 20 files," McAninch said.
“If there‘s valid interest. they will
then prepare an appropriations bill
to present in front of Congress."

If passed. Congress will allocate

“We should be able to provide

about the organization from oth-

“I’ve had a lot of good re-

‘ DIVERSIONS

Beach Boys give
solid performance

By BRIAN JENT
Executive Editor

Most bands might find it hard to
please a crowd of all ages ranging
from about 5 to 70 years old. But
that was not the case Tuesday night
as the harmonious sounds of the
Beach Boys combined with the rich
brass of Chicago to satisfy a di-
verse audience that reached into the
upper decks of Rupp Arena.

The Beach Boys set the mood for
the evening with their opening
number “1 Wish They All Could Be
California Girls," which had every-
btxly up and dancing.

The group then pleased the audi—
ence with their standard surfing and
cruising classics along with their
recent hits. They proved that even
with the passage of time, their
songs will never get old.

Among the songs the crowd liked
most were “Good Vibrations,"
“Kokomo” and "Little Old Lady
from Pasadena."

They reached their climax with
“Surfin‘ Safari." “Surf City" and
“Surfin‘ USA.”

Chicago‘s show was done in a
more mellow fashion. using a
thrcopiccc brass section that would

have made any marching band
proud. Flashing lights added to a
tranquil and psychedelic mood that
captivated the audience.

After opening with “Along
Comes a Woman.” the group re-
verted to its older hits. creating a
more relaxed atmosphere than the
one established by the Beach Boys.

The best part of their perfor-
mance was the instrument solos in
the middle of the songs. Danny
Seraphine's drum solo lasted for
five minutes and added a sense of
intensity to the performance.

The harsh guitars, however, de-
tracted from the band’s mellow as-
pect.

“Twenty—five or six to four" was
the crowd favorite, but it was a
poor reproduction of their old ver‘
sion and distracted from such tem»
perate favorites as “Saturday in the
Park," “Colour My World," “I
Don‘t Want to Live Without You"
and “Hard to Say I'm Sorry."

The two groups combined to per-
form individual hits for the finale
of the show. The groups’ duet
highlighted their strengths and kept
the audience dancing to the end.
which concluded with the Beach
Boy‘s “Fun, Fun. Fun."

Take an ensemble cast, an ex-
tremely creative writer/director,
amusing quick witted dialogue,
and add a baby and you get Tri
Star Pictures’ new release “Look
Who’s Talking.”

The film, written and directed
by Amy Heckerling, is full of
creativity. “Look Who‘s Talking"
is an amusing and highly realis-
tic movie that no one should
miss.

The cast includes John Travol-
ta, Kirstie Alley, Olympia Duka-
kis, George Segal and Abe Vigoda
— all strong actors and actresses
who give themselves to their
roles. The adult-like thoughts of
baby Mikey is the voice of Bruce
Willis.

“Cheers” veteran Alley plays
the role of Mollie, an uptight ac-
countant who gets a little too in-
volved with one of her clients.
Albert, George Segal, deceives
Mollie. telling her he loves her
and will leave his wife. The two
of them then have sex in her of—
fice.

The sexual interaction is illus-
trated as the sperm is shown

 

swimming to her egg. Willis'
voice is then introduced, saying,
“Come on kids!" to the other
sperm as they close in on the
goal. The “talking sperm" are one
of the more creative and better
pans of the movie.

As Alley progresses through

Kirstie Alley and John Travolta in Amy Heckerling's new romantic comedy “Look Who's Talking."

Humor carries ‘Look Who’s Talking’

pregnancy and the embryo inside
of her talks, she has conflicting
emotions about her pregnancy
which manifest themselves in
dreams.

. Though Travolta’s character
seemed a little too nice at times,
especially for New York, he

handled the role well.

Hecklering has tapped into a
good source of human enjoy-
ment.The strength of the cast and
the humor of the director carry the
film. With all the ingenious as-
pects, the film has something for
everyone.

College of Architecture film series offers
creative alternative to mainstream movies

By NORA CUMMANE
Contributing Writer

Looking for an alternative to
mainstream commercial films
shown in concrete bunkers that are
strategically placed at the end of
shopping malls and a ticket cost of
about $10?

The College of Architecture Fall
Film Series may be the answer .
The series, organized by Tony Roc-
canova and led Quarter of the Col-
lege of Architecture, features 23 di-
verse and obscure cinematography
movies.

"The film festival is a counter-

balance to the impoverished cul-
ture." Roccanova said. “1 see it as
an opportunity to invent and seek
out culture."

Since the fire at the Kentucky
Theater downtown almost two
years ago, there has been an ab-
sence of alternative. foreign and off-
beat movies in the Lexington area,
Roccanova said.

“Movies today have too much
literalness of everyday life,” he said

Several of the movies in the ser-
ies are silent movies.

“Mimes bring out things we’re
not used to seeing." Roccanova
said. “I’ve seen some of these mo-

vies 20 times, and I still find some-
thing new and different in them.”

Many of the silent films are from
the 19203 and '305.

“This is not just a nostalgia
trip," Roccanova said. “Early film-
makers do much more. So many of
the films today are empty on every
level."

In “Man with a Camera,” which
will be shown Nov. 15, the film-
maker explores new possibilities
by cutting and pasting the film in
nontraditional ways.

Another movie is filmed as the
camera is thrown through the air.
The film features the live footage

 

 

as the camera falls to the ground.
Although there is no underlying
theme, “the general spirit of the
films is a poetic one.” RoccanOva
said. “The poetic sense is the
thread that runs through the films."

Because the film festival has no
budget, most of the movies come
from UK’s and other schools’ film
1ibraries.The last two films — “Fly—
ing Machines" and “Universe" —
are from the NASA library .

The series,vfree to the general
public. started Aug. 30, and runs
to Dec. 6. The films are shown at
7:30 pm. Wednesday nights room

Receiver Neal Clark walking-on(to) success with Cats

By BARRY REEVES
Sports Editor

If will and determination were the
only factors in choosing an All-
Star team, then UK receiver Neal
Clark would be first team on every-
body’s All-America list.

“Neal is the kind of player every
coach dreams of working with," Pa-
ducah Tilghman High School coach
Allan Cox said in a telephone inter-
view. “He works his butt off to be
the best at whatever he is doing.
And he is the best example of what
happens if you work hard.

“Neal is not the fastest guy in
the world or the biggest, but he is
the kind of a guy the will always
be a winner because of his attitude
and work ethics,” said Cox, who
speaks with his former player about
once a week. “I am just proud to be
associated with Neal.”

After graduating from Tilghman
High School in Paducah, Ky., in
1987, Clark made the UK football
team as a walk-on in the fall and
was immediately redshirted. Last
fall Clark needed only 10 more
plays to letter.

But last spring Clark, on the

verge of being put on scholarship,
had to leave UK for the US. Army
Reserves because of financial rea-
sons.

“Basically, I didn’t have enough
money to keep going to school, so
I had to look for some outside in‘
come, and I thought the Reserves
was the perfect opportunity for
me," Clark said. “I would only
have to miss one semester of
school. and because of a special
NCAA clause I would be able to re-
turn in the fall and play."

And after a 16-week stay at Basic
Training and Advances Individual-
ized Training, Clark’s back and bet-
ter than ever.

“I think I am a lot more focused
on what has to be done since get-
ting out of the Army,” said Clark,
a 5-9, l70-pound sophomore. “The
Army taught me a lot about team
unity. I mean, football’s a total
team effort. I learned that you have
to work hard for everything or it’s
not worth having. And I think I
have applied that to football.”

And UK receiver coach Joe Phil-
lips wishes all his players were
more like Clark.

“Oh yeah. I wish all of the kids

would all go through the Army and
come back,” Phillips said. “Since
Neal got back he’s been a real
pleasure to work with. I mean, he
does everything you can ask of him
and asks for more. I don’t think he
knows how to rest.

“I don’t think anybody will ever
outwork Neal Clark at anything, "
Phillips said. “Even when he’s not
on the field, he's studying routes or
defense or something. He is always
prepared mentally."

The Army in Clark is also wear-
ing off on some of his fellow re-
ceivers.

“He makes us all work harder,"
receiver Phil Logan said. “Neal is a
very hard worker. And I appreciate
that because the harder he works.
the harder we have to work. He's a
very positive influence.”

Even Clark's opponents and for-
mer enemies are now some of his
closest friends. UK defensive back
Larry Jackson, a track and football
standout and nearby Mayfield High
School, was Clark's main rival in
high school.

“Larry and l were real big rivals
when we got to UK because May-
field and Tilghman are big rivals

By CHRIS HARVEY
Senior Stall Writer

Almost every American boy
dreams about getting a chance to
try out for a major league baseball
team. Most spend hours bouncing a
ball off the side of a house or tak-
ing swings at the local batting
cage, hoping they may have a
chance to wear Yankee pinstripes or
Dodger blue.

Well. UK Bat Cats are no differ-
ent.

“Since I was a little kid playing
in the pee wee leagues, I've wanted
to be drafted,” UK pitcher Tom
Robeson said.

Robeson and the rest of the UK
baseball team took the first step to
ward that goal yesterday by partici—
pating in UK’s fifth annual base-
ball Pro Day held at Shively Field.

“(Being drafted) is what I’ve been
working for since I started play—
ing.” senior second baseman Vince
Castaldo said. “It’s everybody’s
goal."

During Pro Day, players were
timed in the 6(Iyard dash and graded

and we were No. I and 2 in the
state in track,” Clark said. “But
now we are the best of friends. In
fact, when we first got here every-
body (on the team) would go watch
us race on the weekends because we
were so close.”

“Neal is a really great guy."
Jackson said.

“He’s a real hard worker and a
really caring and outgoing person.
He stayed with me this summer
when he was in town working out
with the team.”

Track always has been Clark's
best sport. but he enjoyed football
more. Clark, who ran the 800-,
1,600- and 3,200-meter races in
high school. received track scholar-
ship inquiries from schools includ-
ing the University of Tennessee,
Kansas University and Southern II-
linois, but he declined all offers to
get a chance to play football.

“Neal always thought he could
play Division 1 football, even
though he didn’t receive too much
attention from the big schools."
Cox said.

“But I guess he’s proving the
theory wrong ~ a little guy with a

interested in to fill out a card to
give the scout a better feel of the
player and his personality. Randle

A player’s mental attitude is one
of the most important characteris-

Golfers hope to survive 17—team
field and win 6th straight title

By JULIE ESSELMAN

While younger generations are
the most likely groups to break
with tradition, the young UK
women’s golf team is intent on
maintaining a certain continuance
with the past.

When the Lady Kats tee-off to-
day in the 12th annual Lady Kat
Invitational Tournament at Spring
Lake Country Club, they will be
shooting to uphold a six-year tra-
dition of winning their home
tourney.

“I think our team is really
strong,” said Margie Muzik. the
only senior on the UK squad. “If
we all do our job, I think we‘ll
win the tourney again this year."

The Lady Kats have won their
invitational tournament since
1983 and twice have captured the
individual title. But they face
some tough competition from the
l7-team field this year. including
the University of Alabama, which
UK defeated along with Duke
University in a three-way sudden-
death playoff to win the Lady Tar
Heel Invitational in North Caroli-
na earlier in the season.

Play in the LKIT begins at 9
am. and the tournament will
continue through Saturday.

Although UK's team is rela-
tively young this season — Mu-
zak. two juniors. four sopho-
mores and two freshman — there
still is much tournament experi-
ence among the players. And the
Lady Kats are confident this will
help them keep the trophy in Lex-
ington.

“I think everyone’s playing
well," said sophomore standout
Tonya Gill. “I definitely think we
have some possibility to win."

 

But Muzak is a little more ada-
mant about the team’s abilities.

“I think if we‘re on our game,
there isn’t anyone in the SEC
who can beat us,” she said.

The Lady Kats have had a suc-
cessful fall season so far in their
first two tournaments.

After winning the Lady Tar
Heel tournament, at which Gill
and junior Jayne Lohr tied for sec-
ond. the Lady Kat team placed
third in the Memphis Women‘s
Invitational, a disappointing fin-
ish that was offset by Gill’s indi-
vidual victory, the first of her col-
legiate career.

Gill was four shots out of the
lead going into the last day of the
Memphis tourney but birdied the
18th hole to shoot a final-round
70 and win by a shot.

“I’ve played so well the last
two toumeys, I’m really wanting
to keep it up." Gill said. “I'm
very pleased with the way the sea-
son has gone."

Gill and Lohr. who placed sixth
in the Memphis Invitational,
(both preseason All-Americans)
have been the top players on the
UK squad this season. and UK
coach Bettie Lou Evans is count-
ing on them to lead the team
again this week.

But Evans said it is just as im-
portant that the team get good
play from the rest of the players.

Each UK team member will
play in their home tournament.
but in college golf the scores of
only five players are considered in
the team competition.

Evans, who quit smoking this
year. hopes her players make
some smoke of their own by
lighting up the golf course with
low numbers.

“I expect Tonya and Jayne to

LKIT.

“Our fourth and fifth players are

Evans said her team has “re-

their game around the greens.

“It's mainly short game. short
