Expert: Options confusing

 

By Jen Bryant
Contributing Writer

An expert on health-care reform
said yesterday that too many Amer-
icans lack health insurance because
they can’t afford it or because they
don‘t understand the myriad options
available to them.

“Politicians tend to think in pro-
gram budgets and taxes rather than
overall welfare," said Brian Dowd,
an associate professor in the Insti-
tute for Health Services Research at
the University of Minnesota

Dowd addressed a group of about
30 people yesterday afternoon in
the College of Business and E00-
nomics Building during his speech
“Health-care Reform and the Role
of Government“

He addressed overall health-care
issues, including views of the cur-
rent market status, conditions for a
healthy market and potential prob-
lems in operations.

Dowd outlined problems in
health care as the current cost, the
individual and small group market.
the many uninsured and federal ex-
penditures in the area

Currently. health insurance costs
are approaching the same percent-
age as the average mortgage, which
Dowd said is too high for a family
of four with both parents working
income averaging $20,000 a year.

Individual and small group mar-
kets do not protect consumers from
being refused coverage or having
their risk redefined and their premi-

 

ums increased, he said.

Dowd also said that federal ex-
penditures in the area of health care
have increased 2,222 percent from
1980 to 1990.

The solution to these problems
lies in the areas of efficiency and
fairness, he said.

Current markets create inefficient
means of dispensing health-care
coverage and services. The public
seems to have two views on why
markets do not work.

Neglect and resistance to change
are reasons for market difficulties,
while others feel the current system
can never work, Dowd said.

Dowd said there are several nec-
essary conditions for maintaining a
healthy market, including better in-
formation, improved entry ability
for new firms and need-reflecting
premiums.

One way to improve the health-
care market would be to introduce
more “pool plans," he said.

Pool plans involve grouping to-
gether large numbers of people who
otherwise would search for health
care as individuals or in small
groups.

Several health-care plans could
be offered within each pool that
would match needs of members.

Board selects Beason,
Williams as editors

 

By Nlcole Hemphreus
Staff Writer

.Iunior Tyrone Beason was se-
lected last night to be the editor
in chief of the Kentucky Kernel
for the 1993-94 school year.

The Kernel Press Board of Di-
rectors also selected freshman
Lance Williarns to be editor in
chief of the summer Kentucky
Kernel.

Beason, a journalism student,
currently is news editor and
worked for the paper as a staff
writer last year.

Board Chairwoman Paula An-
derson said Beason was selected
because of his “poise, enthu-
siasm and experience.“

The other candidate for next
year's editor was Senior Staff
Writer Kyle Foster. Beason said
he plans to make Foster an inte-
gral part of his team.

Current Editor in Chief Grego-
ry A. Hall said with a “Beason
and Foster team, I think we are
taking a great step forward for
the Kernel.“

Beason, who will be the first
black editor in chief of the news-
paper, said he is very passionate
about joumalism. He appreciates
the fact that his position can af-
fect all the students on the UK
campus.

“I hope I can bring intelli—
gence, openness and sensitivity

 

 

 

to the editor
in chief po—
sition," Bea—
son said.

Beason's
plan for next
year is to
create a
sense of
conununity
in the news-
room, diver-
sify the front
page and play up cultural and
ethnic makeup on the UK carn-
pus.

“I think a lot of students be-
lieve that the only influential
and active members in this carn-
pus community are the greeks
and the administrators," Beason
said. “I‘d like to show that the
presence of every individual on
campus is valuable and worthy
of our attention."

Williams, a staff writer, said
that his work ethic will be his
strength as editor in chief.

Williams has two main goals
for the summer paper: help staff
writers with their writing skills
and keep close tabs on the ef-
fects of University budget cuts.

“During the summer. there is
more time to help people im—
prove their writing." Williams
said. Other candidates for sum-
mer editor were Staff Writer
Nina Davidson and Assistant
Sports Editor Ty Halpin.

By Joe Braun
Editorial Editor

 

Student Government Association

year in an effort to broaden student
involvement in the elections, will
this year be broadcast from 8 to
9:15 pm. on the campus radio sta-

serious and the candidates will be
asked questions submitted by stu-
dents at UK. He said he expects the
debate to be stimulating and infor-
mative.

“If I feel they really haven't an-
swered the question, I‘ll tell them,"
he said.

The debate will be moderated by
Chandra and Omnicron Delta Kap-
pa President and former SGA Sena-

tor David King, who will not vote
in the endorsement.

The format will include a one-
minute introduction by each of the
four candidates. Then the modera-
tors will ask questions, allowing
each candidate time to answer or re-
spond each question.

The ll groups who will vote fol-
lowing the debate to make the
UPAC endorsement include the
Black Student Union, Residence
Hall Association, Student Organiza-
tions Assembly, Disabled Students
Union, International Students, UK
Non-Traditional Students, graduate
and honors students as well as the
Appalachian Student Council.

Students who wish to submit
questions for the debate may do so
by taking them to WRFL in the
basement of the Student Center be-
fore 4 pm today.

OSGA‘s role as a disseminator
of information: “We're going to
go out, gather information, edu-
cate students and give informa-
tion to you all." Dowdy said.

-The services provided by
SGA: “We're not going to try to
reinvent the wheel. but we're
going to try to add programs
and beef up existing projects."
he said.

-How SGA represents the stu-
dent body: “SGA should be the

“We need to get students excit-

Dowdy also said he would
represent students to campus ad-

arates our ticket from the test."
he said.

Keeneland residents
evacuated from hall

 

By Tyrone Beason
News Editor

 

More than 290 Keeneland Hall
residents were rushed from the
building last night after several stu-
dents on the first floor complained
of eye, nose and throat irritation.

Emergency personnel and UK
Police arrived at the scene about
9:45 in response to a fire alarm at
the residence hall. Moments later.
the UK Environmental Quality
Management team anived to in-
spect the building for possible gas
leaks.

John Lowry, director of the team.
said at about 11:30 pm. that no gas-
eous substances had been identified
and that the building would remain
evacuated throughout the evening.

"We don't know what it is."
Lowry said. “That’s why we‘re not
taking any chances."

He said environmental personnel
would conduct a more extensive in
vestigation into the source of the
substance beginning at 6:30 this
morning.

Keenelmd's male residents were
sent to Wildcat Lodge and Holmes
Hall for the evening. Females were
sent to Jewel and Boyd halls.

UK spokesman Ralph Dcrickson
common that at least one residen' t.
a 21-year-old woman. was med

at UK Hospital and released.

About 40 students had com-
plained about irritation prior to the
evacuation. Fifteen residents re
ceived first aid treatment on site.

Apparently. the irritating sub-
stance was first notioed by residents
on the firsts floor of the building.
Sammy Gillespie, an agricultural
engineering sophomore who lives
on the east end of Keeneland Hall,
said his eyes and throat became irri-
tated earlier in the evening and
worsened as time progressed.

He said no one was able to identi-
fy the source of the colorless, odor-
less substance.

“It seemed to be directed toward
my end of the hall,“ he said. “It
stings like you‘re in a room with
some kind of cleanser."

Lowry declined to specify what
information, if any. was gathered
last night

Interim design sophomore Jim
Lail said he has classes all day to-
day but that he was going to his
borne, located off Ironworks Pike.

“I'm just going to go home. and
I‘m taking a bunch of people with

Philosophy and English sopho-
more Beth Embry said she has a
[Ipadue today.

“I did have a paper (today). but I
think that's going to be postponed

Bela’s boys
bring jazzy
spacegrass
to theater

    

 

By Dave Lavender
Arts Editor

 

For Bela Heck and the Heck-
tones three's company

It's not that four in the band was
a crowd. but the departure of lio-
ward Levy (keyboards/harmonica)
has made this tum-of—the-let-
century musical unit into a tight
three-piece band that just rears back
its head and lets out its space-aged
barbaric yawp.

Fleck and the Hecktones are
making their second area appear-
ance this year (They played earlier
this month with Al DiMeola at
Coyote‘s in Louisville. Ky.) tonight
at 3 at the Kentucky Theatre.

While levy left because of the
band's exhausting ZOO-plus dates ll
year for the past three years. Fleck
and brothers Wooten (Victor La-
monte. merely one of the best bass
players on the planet and Roy “Fu-
ture Man.“ who mans the synth-axe
drumitari have headed back into the
studio and are working on album
No 4. a followup to Flight of the
Cosmic Hippo. which spent time
nesting at the top of the Billboard
and (‘ashbox Contemporary Jazz
charts.

Much akin to the group: last
Lexington appearance (F light of the
Cosmic Hippo tour April ’92 at the
UK Student Center Grand Ball-
room) where Fleck flogged out a
load of tunes off the then unre~
leased UFO TOF U. the show to-

Eclectic banjoist Bela Fleck brings his Flecktones (Roy “Future Man" Wooten and his brother,
Victor Lemonte Wooten) to the Kentucky Theatre today an 8 pm. show.

night more than likely will feature a
good portion of tunes that will ap-
pear on the upcoming release re-
corded without the magic flngers of
Levy.

like Fleck‘s SRO Grand Ball-
room perfomiailce. expect to be
whirled away to another musical
planet by the former Lexingtonian
who slides down the neck of a vin-
tage pre-war (1937 mahogany) Gib-
son five-stn'ng with the same ease
that he carecns the Decling Cross~
fire electric banjo into the crooks
and crannies lying between jazz.
bluegrass, be-bop and unexplored
musical galaxies.

With such a talented and inven-
tive musician as Levy missing. pre-
sumed having a good time at the
homestead. it would be easy to sulk
about the loss of a guy who often
blew the harmonica while playing
keyboards. played the pennywhistle
and used household objects like a
coffee cup for effects on his har-
monica.

But Heck, who lived here from
1979 to 1981 and played in the
band Spectrum before joining avant
garde Nashville-based acoustic
band New Grass Revival. isn‘t one
to stop and smell the roses or the
pizza.

The slide-wielding banjoist (see
“Bonnie and Slyde" off UFO
TOF U) and the Wooten brothers
have churned out more than 20 new
songs. which surely will get tried
out on the Kentucky Theater audi-
ence.

However. the best part of Fleck's
shows is the give and take between
the artist and the fans. This is the
guy who let a fan pick the name for
his second album. Flight ofthe Cos-
mic Hippo.

But. perhaps even more fun than
Heck‘s melodious picking is Victor
Wooten's bassic instincts and Fu-
ture Man throwing down the whatn-
my bar on his drumitar while stroll-
ing the audience is getting to yell
out requests to Heck.

Play “Bigfoot." “Whitewater."
“Seuttlebutt,” “Metric Lips" or
“Flying Saucer Duties."

Only a Manhattan-bom jazzman
who learned his impeccable timing
by listening to JD. Crowe. and
who‘s named after Hungarian com-
poser Bela Bartok, could have such
a twisted sense of song-title humor.

If the audience is real good Fleck
may even get over “Life Without
Elvis" by figuring out Lexington‘s
“Yee-haw Factor." Or the audience
may even get some “Sex in a Pan."

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
are performing tonight at 8 at the
Kentucky Theatre. Tickets are
$12.50. According to the officials at
the Theatre. there were around 20
tickets left as of press time yester-
day. For more information. call
231 -6997.

Music of the isles
mo’ than bagpipes

Various Artis‘ ts
Straight Outta Ireland
Scotti Bros. Records

By Brian Manley
Staff Critic

 

 

With St. Pau'ick’s Day only a
week ago, folks undoubtedly had a
good time, most likely participating
in some heavy Irish celebrating,
don’tya know.

Straight Outta Ireland, a compi-
lation CD released by Scotti Bros.
Records. features some laddies who
are green as can be. but are sure to
be wishing that they can be includ-
ed in yer celebrating.

Straight Outta Ireland features
mostly unsigned bands from the
emerald homeland, most 0’ whom
would be thrilled to grab the atten-
tion of a record label or two and say
“top 0‘ the momin' to ya!"

Like most compilation discs,
Straight Outta Ireland has a few
impressive entries. as well as a few
disappointing ones. There are 11
tracks to choose from, each differ-
ing in style and talent.

The two best songs on the album
are performed by two different
bands who claim the same singer as
their musical mentor. And who
might that singer be, you ask? Why,
that British vocalist of vocalists. El-
vis Costello. me laddies.

The Golden Horde and The Men
They Couldn‘t Hang both obviously
were influenced by Costello. but
their respective contributions to this
album are very diverse.

The Golden Horde‘s “Endless
Weekend“ is probably the best
track on the album, being a gutsy.
straight-up rock 'n' roll song that
could be compared to maybe
School Of Fish or even Jesus Jones.

The Men They Couldn't Hang
have set to tape a more lighthearted.
poppy tune, “You're The One."
which sounds like Paul Westerberg
doing the “Naked Gun" theme song
“I’m into Something Good" by

 

 

Herman's Hermits.

“Mama," the track by Los An-
geles-based The Young Dubliners.
also shines. It is five minutes of
hummable verses and a chorus that
sticks easily in your head. This
piece sounds similar to something
Del Amitri might have written.

On the cloudier side 0‘ the rain-
bow, Diesel Heart’s “Change of In-
nocence" sounds similar to early
INXS, presenting a darker side of
pop progressive rock.

“Hand on the Water” by Lesli
Dole and “If I Were You" by
The Chanting Houses also are well-
written tracks, both being less rock-
oriented. The Chanting Houses,
who call New York home, creative-
ly have incorporated traditional in-
struments into their slower progres-
sive sound.

Of course. no compilation is per-
fect, and this one is no exception.

Tunes like The Spirit Merchants'
confusing “Birdland” a
