letters to 0.6. could sway votes

By Stephen Trimble

Senior Staff H’hrer

One of Kentucky’s US. senators
deplores the roughly $10 billion cut
from the federal student loan program.
The other’s view is still unclear.

Students and their parents can still
affect the way either Wendell Ford or
Mitchell McConnell votes on the
Republican proposals that are moving
through both the House and Senate.

One thousand hand-written letters
— piled high on each senator’s desk —
could sway either’s vote, UK's Vice
Chancellor for Administration Jack
Blanton said last week.

Neither senator could ignore that
large ofan appeal for a particular issue
— either in favor of or against the cuts,
Blanton said.

But only a hundred have arrived at
McConnell's office in \Vashington
D.C., said the Republican's
spokesman, Robert Steurer.

Students and parents sent about the
same number of letters to Ford’s
Washington office since the proposals
were approved last week, said Mark
Day, Ford’s news secretary.

McConnell hasn’t made a clear
stand on the issue yet. Ford is “four-
square" against any cuts on student
loans. Day said, adding the Democrat
also opposes cutting the National Ser—
vice Program, which includes Ameri—
Corps.

A bill in the Senate would cap the
Direct Lending program by 20 per-
cent. It also charges a .85 percent fee
on universities for their total student
loan volume.

Neither senator has responded to
the letter UK Chancellor for the Lex—
ington Campus Elisabeth Zinser sent
last week, she said yesterday.

“The proposed fee is akin to an
unfunded mandate on institutions,"
Zinser’s letter said. “Education is the
key to the future for Kentucky’s youth
and critical to our continued advance—
ment as a state and nation.

“Adoption of this proposal would
hamper the ability of institutions of
higher education such as the Universi-
ty of Kentucky to contribute to these
ends."

The letter also was signed by UK
President Charles \Vethington.

Does she think the letters mattered?

“I think the jury’s still out on that
one," she said.

Letters from students and parents

probably would be much more inﬂuen—
tial with the senators, she said.

The spokesmen for both senators
agreed that letters have inﬂuence.

The Student Government Associa—
tion will not make any plans for active
protest or acceptance on campus
regarding the cuts, said Melanie Cruz,
a UK sophomore and regional director
of the National Association of Students
for Higher Education.

Cruz, SGA President Shea Chaney
and other student activists will partici-
pate in a protest march in \Vashington
D.C. on Oct. 14.

The number of protesters has been
estimated at 5,000 students from across
the country, she said. The protest is
part of a leadership conference spon—
sored by NASHE, which is a nation-
wide student lobbying organization.

Student leaders taking lllI wheelchair tours

By Jonathan Lilland
Contributing IVriter

You don't know someone until you've walked a
mile in their shoes. Or, in the case of the disabled,
rolled a mile in their tracks.

As part of the 25th anniversary of disability ser—
vices at UK, students are raising their awareness of
the disabled by taking their place for a while. Volun-
teers are sent on a tour route around UK’s campus to
ﬁnd out how wheelchair students get around. The
disabled student simulation starts Monday.

Participants also can imitate blindness by wearing
a blindfold and using a cane as a guide.

Campus leaders from student government and
fraternities are planned to participate in the events.
Special education students also will take part.

The purpose is to educate non-disabled students
to the experiences of the disabled to increase aware-
ness of the problems they have, such as trying to
photocopy on a machine, get a drink of water from a

fountain or get food from a vending machine.

“I would like to thank them for caring enough
about my experience,” said Sheila Tipton, a social
work junior who is physically disabled. “I’m hoping
they do it for more than just fun.”

To avoid confusion with handicapped students,
the simulation wheelchairs have “Wheelchair Aware-
ness Day” printed on the back. While in the
wheelchair, the students are asked not to use their
legs to help them. The Disability Resource Center,
which is sponsoring the simulation, is trying to make
the activity as realistic as possible by re-creating the
situation of handicapped students on campus.

Students will be asked to go from the DRC office
in Alumni Gym to the student center ofM.I. King
Library and Frazee Hall.

“If you don't know where you're going, you can
really get lost,” said Tipton.

The wheelchair travel is being done as part of the
25th anniversary of disability services at UK. You
might have seen the big blue handicapped signs on

some buildings on campus with the number 25 on
them for the celebration.

The campus tour involves students going to carn-
pus landmarks to discover the different routes and
wrong turns and obstacles for handicapped students.

“( )ne of the best ways to teach is to give others an
idea of the limitations," saidJoAnn Berryman, a dis-
abled special education teacher. Berryman, who
received UK's first-ever handicapped parking pass in
1962, wants to share with others how difficult it is to
be in a wheelchair.

“I think (the wheelchair simulation) is a great
experience," she said.

Jennifer Feeley, attendant care coordinator at the
DRC, said handicapped students aren’t offended by
the simulation. She says that wheelchair users are
glad to have the exposure of their difﬁuilties.

The disability simulation takes about two hours
and will run from Oct. 9-27. Anyone who would like
to participate can contact Jennifer Feeley at 257—
3568.

Universities may
get new funding formula

FRANKFORT —— Kentucky’s universities and
community colleges would have to meet perfor—
mance goals as part of a funding plan that a state
higher-education planning board is considering.

The plan, which will go before the Council on
Hi rher Education‘s finance committee next week,
cal s for performance-based funding to evolve in
three phases.

In the first phase, durin r the 1996 and 1997 ﬁs—
cal years, each school would develop specific goals
and means of measurement. The state would help
pay for that effort if the school can show by April 1
that it is seriously working to implement the plan.

In the second phase, during the 1997 and 1998
fiscal years, performance funding would be linked
to documentation ofa school‘s efforts to meet spe-
cific goals.

Gorbachev hopes ".8. can unity
LOUISVILLE — The United States, as the

remaining 511 erpower on the globe, must avoid
withdrawing filom global politics but still temper its
role, former Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev
said yesterday.

Gorbachev said there is a growing tendency in
the United States and in Russia toward isolation.

“I would like America to play a unifying role in
the world instead oftrying to be a policeman in the
world," Gorbachev said. “Because the role of
policeman is something that you do not need and
that the world will not accept."

And Gorbachev said Americans should accept
Russians in an honest partnership on the world
scene and not merely indulge it during a time of
difficulty.

“Russia doesn’t like to be patted on the back,"
Gorbachev warned.

Gorbachev was in Kentucky to accept the
Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving \Vorld
Order.

The award was established by Louisville indus»
trialist H. Charles Grawemeyer. The endowment,
which is administered by the University of
Louisville, also makes awards in music, education
and religion.

Supreme Court to decide on llMl

\VASHIN ITON -— The Supreme Court will
decide whether Virginia Military Institute can
remain all-male.

The court said yesterday it will study comgeting
appeals ~— one by Virginia officials and one y the
Clinton administration. A decision is expected by
July.

The administration says the only way to arm—
tee women equal treatment is to admit t em to
VMI. A separate “women's VMI" begun this fall is
as unlawful as segre ated schools once created for
blacks and whites, atfministration lawyers contend.

Virginia ar es that the state-supported military
college must eep female students out to preserve
its educational goals.

Women can attend other public colleges in Vir—
ginia, state officials note.

Even if the women’s VMI program were
dropped, the state adds, VMI should be allowed to
remain all—male.

An eight~member court is expected to hear
arguments in January. Justice Clarence Thomas
disqualified himself in the case because his son,
Jamal, is a VMI senior.

Opal causes $1.8 million damage

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. .. Under blue
skies, the damage wrought by Hurricane Opal
became clear yesterday: hundreds of houses
smashed into splintered boards, condominiums
ﬂattened, hotel walls caved in and boats tossed
ashore along 120 miles oferoded beach.

“This is what 1 call utter destruction,” an aston-
ished Al Donaldson said as the homeowner looked
over Santa Rosa Beach, west of Panama City.

Opal, which hit land late W’ednesday with gusts
up to 144 mph, killed at least 15 people and caused
an estimated $1.8 billion in damage to insured
property along the Florida Panhandle.

That made it the second—costliest storm in state
history after Hurricane Andrew, which inﬂicted
$17 billion in dama e in 1992.

Fifteen Panhandzle counties were approved for
federal emergency aid.

EATING CONTEST

By Kevin Wu
University Wire .

For football fans bothered by
the presence of alcohol at tailgate
parties, Michigan State Univesity
will sponsor a chemical—free alter—
native at all home games.

From 9 a.m. until kickoff on
football Saturdays, the Student
Action Team Roundtable, a MSU
student organization, will serve a
variety of food in an area where
alcohol and tobacco are prohibit—
ed. Several university organiza-
tions will donate food.

The program reﬂects a general
trend toward lowering the quanti—
ty of alcohol on campus, said
MSU junior Bernie Kuhn. In
1993, the university banned kegs
on campus in an attempt to curb
underage drinking.

But many students question the
policy’s effectiveness.

“The only difference is that
now there are bottles and cans lit-
tering the football field instead of
cups,” Kuhn said.

Most MSU students agree that
non-alcoholic alternatives are a
great idea for eople who want to
celebrate wit out having beer
around. However, some students
said the success of this program
might prompt the university to
reconsider banning alcohol.

Kuhn said banning alcohol
from tailgates would be “infring-
ing on a lot of people's rights.”

“If I wanted to party, and
someone stop ed me, I'd be pretty
upset,” he sai .

Some MSU students said they
are worried that tailgates without
alcohol would put a damper on
the spirit before football games.

But Karen Kumon, president
of the organization that created
alcohol-free tailgates, disagrees.
“We’re just (rallying) with a clear
mind, without being intoxicated,"
Kumon said.

Although Kuhn said students
who get out of hand when they’re
intoxicated should be held respon—
sible, he said, “these are a few iso—
lated cases that don’t represent the
entire picture.”

snot up tor grabs

Grimes and Bolten

competing for time
By Stephen Trimble

Senior Stuff I V riter

The biographies of the UK vol-
leyball team‘s two setters a ear
on facing pages of the William
media guide.

Like a mirror, their careers
reflect each other on the opposite
pages.

M a sophomore last year, Ains-
lev Grimes made 1,025 assists,
which is the setter’s responsibility,
in 118 games. Entering the season
with the starting role, Grimes had
a career~high 78 assists against
Alabama.

But she eventually grew tired.
The setter is the quarterback or
point guard for the volleyball
team, and runs the offense
throughout the match.

“Ainsley kind of ran out of gas,”
UK coach Fran Ralston-Flory said.
“We ran her to death."

Freshman Fiona Bolten ste ped
into the starting role towarrl)the
end of the season, ﬁnishing with
759 assists in 111 games played.
She had also had career-highs of
78 assists several times last during
last season.

\Vhen she took the starting job,
albeit near the end of the season, it
also tired the first—year player as
the team struggled to post a 13—21
record.

“Last year really wore me out,”
she said.

Now, both setters are fighting

RalstomFlory faces a strategic
dilemma with her two setters.

Her veteran outside hitters,
senior Molly Dreisbach and junior
Gina Heustis, seem to respond
better when Grimes plays setter,
where she has started the past two
games.

But Ralston-Flory’s emerging
sophomore, Cynthia Dozier,
seems to play better when Bolten is
setting up spikes.

After practice Wednesday, Ral-
ston—Flory said she is considering
starting both players and shufﬂing
her offense to accommodate two
setters on the court.

“I‘m still not sold on it yet," she
said.

When the \Vildcats play LSU,
Bolten and Grimes will most likely
rotate into the offense depending
upon the match—ups LSU makes,
Ralston—Flory said.

Bolten is still recovering from
an ankle sprain she suffered in
practice on Saturday. The ankle
was still swollen and bruised after a
practice in Memorial Coliseum on
Wednesday night.

“It’s nice and discolored,”
Bolten said.

But the heavily wrapped joint
didn’t affect her performance in
practice, and she doesn't think it
will affect the way she plays against
the Fighting Tigers tonight.

“It’s tough, it makes you tenta—
tive," Bolten said. “But you can’t
think about it that way."

Cool Cats r

early their

own midnight madness

The UK hockey team finds
itself in a new situation at the
beginning of this season.

Unlike last year, the Cool
Cats are not expected to win
their division.

The reason for the modest
expectations stems from UK
Changing its conference affilia—
tion.

Last year UK was in the
Southern Collegiate Hockey
Association, which consisted
mostly of southern schools. UK
was conference champion last
season.

This year however, UK is in
the Mid-\Vest Conference,
which includes hockey power-
houses such as Michigan State,
Bowling Green and Miami of
Ohio.

The general consensus among
Cool Cat players is the new con-
ference should provide more
competition, but the team still
expects to be the forefront of the
competition.

“VVe’re in a real tough divi-
sion this year,” said senior wing-
man Chris Boyd. “\Ve played all
the teams that are in it last year,
except for two, and we beat them
all. So we have a real good
chance ofwinning our division."

UK coach Gord Summers
also believes the Cool Cats will
be facing a lot tougher schedule
this year.

“These are hockey schools
we’re playing this year," he said.
If the Cats are going to win the
conference crown this season,
they will have to perform well in
key matchups with Michigan

captain in 10‘”.

llll vs. Kentucky legends

The UK hockey team will begin'its
12th season of play against a team
comprised ol former players. '

mers said.

“Those are the two most
important series because (the
teams are) the toughest," he said.

One factor placing UK at a
disadvantage is that both of these
key series take place on the road,
with UK traveling to East Lans—
ing, Mich., Oct. 27—28 and
Bowling Green, Ohio, on Feb.
9—10.

Boyd, :1 team captain this sea-
son, expects Miami othio to be
another key matchup.

“They won the division last
year, but they didn't go to the
nationals," Boyd said. “They
have all their key players coming
back except the defensemen."

The Cool Cats only are
returning nine players this sea~
son.

“\Ve lost quite a few seniors
last year and a lot of transfers."
he said. “So our freshmen need
to step up and play this year, and
they’ve shown us they can."

The Cool Cats open up their
season Saturday night against the
Kentucky Legends, a grou of
former Cool Cat players. he
game is scheduled for midnight
at the Lexington Ice Center.

Summers said the alumni have
no chance against his squad.

“\ 'e'll beat them," he said.
