Hornback chosen
council chairman,
committee member

Vice president for University relations
to oversee a national college board

By DOUGLAS E. PITTENGER
Staff Writer

Raymond Hornback, vice presi-
dent for University relations. has
been named to chair the University
Relations Council of the National As-
sociation of State Universities and
Land Grant Colleges University Re-
lations Council. He will also serve on
the organization‘s executive com-
mittee.

According to Hornback. the asso-
ciation consists of about 150 state
universities across the country. “It‘s
an association of state universities
~ the University of Kentucky, Ohio
State. Indiana University, Purdue,
University of Tennesee — institu-
tions like that. no private institu-
tions at all." he said. “These are all
public. state-supported institutions."

Hornback has been attending
meetings of the association since
1973. when he came to UK. He pre-
viously served a three-year term on
the University Relations Council.

His appointment as council chair-
man will last three years. as will his
term on the executive committee.
The executive committee is com-
posed of university presidents and
council chairmen.

Hornback explained the Universi-
ty Relations Council is concerned
with external affairs of the universi-
ties. “it‘s made up of people who
are involved primarily in external
affairs at these universities (andi
fund raising. public relations. alum-
ni relations. and governmental rela-
tions. but primarily external af-
fairs."

“. . . It’s a real distinct
honor to be recognized
by your peers. ”
Raymond Homback,
vice president for
University relations

He attributed his appointment to
the council to knowing his peers in
the organization. “I served on the
council previously. I’ve known most
of the people and maybe just no one
else would take it.” he said jokingly.
“No, it’s a real distinct honor to be
recognized by your peers and I‘m
very pleased to have been chosen to
serveaschairman."

Hornback said that other people
from UK have served as chairmen
of their councils in the association.
“I know Wimberly Royster. vice
chancellor for research. has been
chairman of the Graduate Deans
Council and I'm sure others have.“
He said that President Otis A. Sin-
gletary has just finished a term on
the executive committee.

Hornback said being on the com-
mittee will be a significant position.
“.Dr Singletary serving on the exec-
utive committee is very significant
to the University because he had
some input into helping set policies
for the organization, and while my
sitting on the executive committee is
not comparable to his — his voice
carries far more weight than mine
—— I will be in on the decision-mak-
ing process of this organization and
hopefully will be able to make some
contributions."

United Way fund drive
passes goal by 3 percent

By TIM JOHNSON
Staff Writer

When the UK United Way cam-
paign started earlier this year. offi-
cials were concerned that the goal of
$225,000 was too high. said Terry
Mobley, co-chairman for the UK
campaign.

But because "everyone involved
rallied and supported the goal." the
last reported figure on Nov. 20 was
$232,101. which is 3 percent over the
expected goal

“As we started in July. we were
concerned that we had set too ambi-
tions of a goal." Mobley said. “But
the UK leadership prevailed and
proved to be a tremendously suc-
cessful campaign. "

No more solicitation for money
will be done. according to Dick Par-
sons. co—chairman with Mobley;
however. “several student activities
and a few more late gifts from fac-
ulty will exceed the goal even
more.“

“To have the desire to improve
Lexington is special.“ Mobley said.
“But to have that desire when your
salary increase is small is outstand-
ing. The faculty here recognized the
needs of others beyond their own.
That is something to be proud of."

“It is a little difficult to project
how much more money we will re.-
ceive,“ Parsons said. “We are just
pleased to have made our goal.
That's the key."

One of the last student United Way
fund-raisers is a Vegas night, spon-
sored by Holmes Hall. to be held
from 8 pm. to 1 am. Friday at the
residence hall. Blackjack. roulette
wheels and a craps table will be
part of the entertainment. Parsons
said.

“Students have various interests
in the community that they raise
money for." Mobley said. “But until
I got involved in United Way. I
didn’t realize the students did that
much. They actually pished us over
the goal.

“Dick and I also saw a desire on
the part of the UK employees to
make Lexington a better place to
live.“ he said. “They really do
care."

Mary Jo Votruba. assistant cam-
paign director for United Way of the
Bluegrass, said, “The people at UK
should be congratulated for the job
they've done. They took a healthy
goal, organized it, and made it into
an exceptional goal. They should be
proudof themselves."

Parsons attributed the success of
the campaign to the campus cabinet
of organizers. the publicity and the
generosity.

“’I‘hings really went smooth. and
that was because of the fine cabinet
that was involved." he said. “We
also produced a video for the first
time and that helped. But after ev—
erything is considered. it all boils
down to UK‘s generosity.

“I also think the faculty became a

he said. “Actually. like the posters
say. ‘At least 1,305 of UK‘s employ~

Gary Brantley. text book manager

children to give parents free time

By MELISSA BELL

To give faculty, staff and students
more time to shop or study for fi-
nals, the Student Activities Board is
spomorim a Christmas Camp where
childrenSandolderwillbeenter-
tainedfromito:p.m.Sundayat
thesnidentCenter Addition.

The entertainment includes
games. a Walt Disney movie. orna-
ment making, a puppet show and a
visit from Santa Clam. Activities
will be by members of
die Student Activities Board. Mortar
Board and the Junior Panhellenic
Coilicil.

“It also familiariaea the kick with
campil," said Nyla Scudder. com-
mittee chairman. "Kiih wuider

~. whtomanandihdareallihy."

Children will be called “campers"
and will be assigned to a “camp
helper“ to keep track of them. All of
the participating organizations will
supply helpers. In addition, two rep-
resentatives from each campus so-
rority will work as helpers.

Scudder said 26 children attended
the camp last year and she hopes
twice as many will come this year.
Few people knew about it last year
because it was the camp’s first
year. she said.

Jill Williams. a Junior Panhellenic
adviser. said the camp will be better
this year. “We have a little bit more
of an idea about how many will be
there. It will be a littler smoother
thanlast year."

The Student Center donated pop
corn and candy. McDonald's do
nated orange (rink and the Univer-

sity Book Store donated supplies for
ornament-making and prizes for
games.

Parents should register children
by Friday. Registration forms can
be picked up at the SAB office. Cost
for the afternoon is $6 per child.

Proceetb from the camp will go
toward improving campus lighting.
The committee is considering a 8100-
$200. rectangular mercury vapor
light that lights up a large area.

last year the proceeds were used
to help pay for the installation of
handicapped doors at the Student
Center Addition. Although the camp
did not raise enough money to pay

opment of proposals for outside
funding. and making recommenda-
tions to the faculty. academic units
and the administration on ways of
strengthening the University's inter-
national dimension

"We get involved with other pro—
grams and lend support." Sands
said.

Griffin. executive officer of the
council. said that prior to the cre-
ation of the council. no group of fac-
ulty members and administrators
looked at the international program
as a whole.

“There was a lack of coordination
among several of the international
offices such as the foreign students
office. our office and the language
studies office.“ Griffin said. He said
a lack of leadership also hampered
the international groups.

"A major advantage of this coun-
cil is that it is staffed under the vice
chancellor of academic affairs who
can take leadership and get some-
thing done.“ he said.

There are no plans for University
funding in the next two years. but
Sands said such funding is a possi-
bility in the future. “Right now. we

Nicaragua
delegation
comes back

‘ Witnesses’ want

to tell experiences

By ANDY ELBON
Staff Writer

“Please go back to the United
States. and tell the people what‘s
going on here."

That‘s the message the people of
Nicaragua want to send to the peo
ple of the United States. according
to Joe Bella. a member of the Wit-
ness for Peace Kentucky delegation
to the Central American country.
Witness for Peace is an “ecumenical
religious effort" that wants to “es-
tablish a presence in war zones to
inhibit US. intervention." Bella said
in a Nov. 6 Kernel article.

The group of 14 returned to the
United States last Wednesday after
a [Vt 0-week stay in Nicaragua.

The most striking thing about the
trip. Bella said. was the people‘s ap~
parent “overall support" for the
Sandinista government. He said the
current strife in Nicaragua is not
really a civil war. but rather a war
of terrorism perpetuated by contras
against the citizens of the country.

Bella cited reports from the
townspeople and the Catholic
Church of the burning of farm coop-
eratives and the kidnapping of farm-
ers as proof of the “terrorist tac-
tics" of the contras. He said these
actions are an attempt by contras to
prevent Nicaraguans from support-
ing the Sandinista government.

Betsy Neale. another member of
the delegation. said the Nicaraguan
people told her group to “come
home and bring home the message"
that to bring peace to Nicaragua.
the United States must stop support-
ing the contras.

Neale said that since the revolu-
tion of 1979. when the Sandinistas
came to power. the people have seen
improvements in education, social
programs and some economic gains.
Bella said that since 1979 the litera-
cy rate of the Nicaraguan people
has increased from 20 percent to 80
percent.

“I think the overwhelming impres—
sion." Neale said. "(is that) they
think of the revolution as the proc-
ess going on" to improve the quality
of life of the people. not the insur-
gence of the rebel contras.

Bella also commented on the Nov.
4 election in Nicaragua. when an
overwhelming majority voted to
keep the Sandinista government.
The Witness for Peace delegation
was one of several groups that su—
pervised the election process.

All the parties involved were
“given equal access that was paid
for by the government“ to TV and
newspaper time, Bella said. He said
that 93 percent of all eligible voters
were registered to vote. Of that
number. 79 percent actually voted.
The Sandinistas received 60 percent
of the vote.

Concerning the controversy sur-
rounding Ortura Cruz. a popular co-
alition candidate. and his decision to
leave the race before the election,
Bella said that Cruz had supported
the election process until Secretary
of State George P. Shultz visited Ni-
caragua. Bella quoted a report stat-
ing that Shultz convinced Cruz to
drop out of the race to damage the
validity of the elections.

Cruz was considered by many as
the only real opposition to Daniel
Ortega. the Sandinista leader. and
his leaving the race was perceived
by some as evidence of strong-arm
tactics by the Sandinistas.

”The people of Nicaragua support
the Sandinista government.“ Bella

Wynton Marsalis to close Spotlight Jazz Series on high note

8y LYN CARLISLE
Staff Writer

American music has a new hero.

He‘s had four Grammy nomi-
nations. bridged the gap between
jazz and classical music, played
with the Herbie Hancock Quartet,
and Dec. 1. he’ll be playing his gold
trumpet for a soldout crowd in UK‘s
Memorial Hall.

And that‘s just the start.

At 23. Wynton Marsalis has ac-
complished more than most musi-
cians even hope to do. Not only has
he mastered traditional jazz. but he
plays classical ‘— from Haydn to
Hummel — with the same fervor.

He‘s bringing his musical style to
UK compliments of the Spotlight
Jazz Series. sponsored by the Stu-
dent Activities Board and the Office
of Minority Student Affairs.

Chester Grundy. director of mi-
nority student affairs. said. ”We are
extremely pleased to have this op-
portunity to present Marsalis at
such an important point in his ca-
reer — at a time when he is perhaps
the hottest name on the jazz scene
We hope that this proves to be a big
boost for public support for the Spot-
light Jazz Series."

Marsalis‘ love affair with the
trumpet began at age 6. when he re—
ceived his first one from trumpeter
Al Hirt. with whom his jazz pianist
father was playing. When jazz great
Miles Davis heard what instrument
the young boy wanted. he warned:
“Don‘t get that boy no trumpet. It‘s
too hard. Let him play something
else "

“I studied classical music because so many
young musicians were scared of this big monster
on the other side of the mountain called

classical music . . .

Wynton Marsalis,
jazz musican

Five albums later. the statement
sounds rather ridiculous.

Marsalis became serious about the
trumpet at the beginning of seventh
grade. At 13. he entered a solo com.
petition. in which three winners
were chosen to perform youth con-
certs with the New Orleans Philhar-
monic.

Marsalis said previously: “A tea-
cher told me that trumpet players
never win solo competitions in clas-
sical music, only string players. pia—
nists and flutists. Besides, at that
time there was only one black play.
er in the orchestra and a lot of peo-
ple thought it was a joke — that I
thought they‘d end up with all these
classical musicians getting put in
the position of being sidemen for a
teenager. Anyway. at 14 i played the
Haydn Trumpet Concerto with them.
and at 16 the Brandenburg Concerto
No.2inFMajor.“

At 17. he got into the summer pro-
gram at the Berkshire Music Center
at Tanglewood — a notable accom-
plishment. since one usually has to
be 18 to enter the program - where
he impressed the staff with his abili-
ty to play both jazz and classical
music. His talent earned him the

Harvey Shapiro Award for Outstand-
ing Brass Player.

horn there, his list of accomplish—
ments goes on and on: playing with
the Brooklyn Philharmonic, Art Bla-
key and the Jazz Messengers and
the Herbie Hancock Quartet; per-
forming at the New Orleans Jazz
and Heritage Festival with Fats
Domino. the North Sea Jazz Festival
in Europe. London‘s Capitol Radio
Jazz Festival and the KOOL Jazz
Festival in New York where he per-
formed with saxophonist Paquito
D’Rivera.

D'Rivera performed at UK on
Nov. 2 through the Spotlight Jazz Se-
ries.

He made musical history this year
when he became the first instrumen-
talist to win Grammy awards in
both jazz (best soloist) and classical
«best soloist with orchestra) during
the same year. His second jazz
album. Think of One. and his classi-
cal album, featuring works by
Haydn, Hummel and Mozart, were
released during the same week, a
first in America. Both immediately
climbed to the top of their respec-
tive charts.

“1 studied classical music because

so many young musicians wcu:
scared of this big monster on the
other side of the mountain called
classical music . . I went into it."
Marsalis said, “and found out it
wasn‘t anything but some more
music."

Marsalis claims that jazz is more
difficult, because “to be a good per-
former means to be an individual,
which you don’t have to be in classi-
cal music." He added. “I'm a jazz
musician who can play classical
music."

Evidence of that can be found in
his four jazz albums, one of which —
Fathers and Sons -— he did with his
father, Ellis Marsalis. and saxo-
phonist brother Branford Marsalis.
His first, Wynton Marsalis, was
voted jazz album of the year in
Down Beat magazine. His fourth
and most recent, Hot House How
ers, has just been released. and fea-
tures his original arrangement of
“When You Wish Upon a Star.“

His UK show begins at 8 p.m. Sun-
day. followed by a backstage rap.
which is an informal interview with
the audience. According to Joan
Loughrey. assistant director of stu-
dent activities. “The fact that this
concert is sold out shows us not only
that the interest is there. but that
the public is just as excited as we
are."

Lnughrey added. “The success of
this year‘s Spotlight Jazz Series is
evidence that there is an interest in
not only established jazz perform-
ers, but also newer arrivals to the
jazz scene. like Marsalis. "

- .m .. v i a“

Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, who has won awards and recognition
in both jazz and classical music. will close out this semester's Spot-
light Jazz Series Saturday night in Memorial Hall. Marsalis, whose
UK show is sold out. says jazz is the more difficult of the two
musical genre, because to play than classical, because a jazz per-

former has “to be an individual."

General Public heats dancing fans; lead singer talks politics

No entrance to general public.

That's what the sign on the gates
of the English Parliament read
when Dave Wakeling was marching
for nuclear disarmament in En-
gland.

Wakeling thought the sign was
paradoxical, and decided that Gen-
eral Public should be the name of
the group he was forming with his
former bandmate Ranking Roger.

General Public played to approxi-
mately 700 members of the UK gen-
eral public last night in the Student
Center Ballroom. General Public‘s
musicians came out with an inspired
rendition of their anthem. “General
Public." Ranking Roger admitted in
an interview prior to the show that
he would be performing with the flu.
Much as the reviewer looked for
them. he showed no signs of the
sick-and-tired-five-months-into-the-
tour syndrome.

Roger‘s resonant toast on the sec-
ond number. “Where's The Line."
had the majority of the crowd danc-
ing and clapping.

No easy feat. as the Charlie Pea—
cock band had injected molasses
into the crowd‘s bloodstream with
its attempted synthesis of three mu-
sical styles. which none of Peacock‘s
musicians have yet mastered. i

General Public‘s “Limited Bal~

ance“ showed signs of the bouncing.
echoing reggae which Wakeling and
Roger made famous with The En-
glish Beat.

Mickey Billingham and Stoker on
keyboards and drums displayed
their versatility with apt backing of
this tune. Both are formerly of the
Celtic—sounding Dexy‘s Midnight
Runners.

General Public's performance
began in earnest with "As a Matter
of Fact,“ with Roger on the roto—
toms. and the rest of the band in en-
ergetic improvisation. By this point,
it was hard to tell who was sweating
more —- the dancing crowd or Gen—
eral Public.

As Roger said in the interview.
“General Public can mean three dif-
ferent things: it can mean the audi-
ence; or us — the group; or it can
mean Big Brother.

“You can dance to the music and
the lyrics give you something to
think about . . . about what we see
going on in the world. and about per-
sonal politics in love songs."

By the time General Public played
the personally political “Are You
Leading Me On." this reviewer.
hard as she tried to remain objecti-
vely motionless. dropped her clip-
board and began to dance.
