Professors
receive
national
awards

By REGINA SWIFT
Contributing Writer

Two research scientists in UK‘s
plant pathology department recently
received high honors at the annual
meeting of the American Phyto-
pathological Society in Richmond,
Va

Malcolm Siegel, a plant patholo—
gy professor, was made a fellow of
the APS and Thomas Pirone, also
a plant pathology professor, re-
ceived the Ruth Allan Award, an
annual award given to the outstand-
ing research plant pathologist.

Only one percent of the 4,000 ac-
tive members of the APS are dis-
tinguished as Fellows.

Fellows are “individuals who are
exceptionally well-respected by
their peers," for their contributions
to society, said David Smith, direc—
tor of the UK plant pathology de-
partment.

“I’ve done really three different
pieces of research," said Siegel.
After receiving his doctorate in bot-
any at the University of Maryland,
Siegel continued researching the ac-
tion of fungicides.

Siege] said he now is trying to
find controls for fescue toxicity and
blue mold on tobacco. All of these
areas are of extreme financial im-
portance to farmers, he said.

These diseases “can be very, very
limiting to production,” said Sie-
gel.

Pirone, who teaches a graduate
course in plant virology, said he
was recognized for his study of
plant viruses and “attempting to
understand how insects transmit vi-
ruses.”

“The payoff, (from the research)
is several years down the road,” Pi-
rone said.

Siegel and Pirone said they did
not do the research alone. Many as-
sistants, graduate students and other
researchers contributed to their suc-
cess.

“As (my) research expands, I
spend less and less time in the lab.
so I’ve had a lot of good graduate
students, post (doctorate students)
and faculty colleagues contributing
to the research," said Pirone.

Most of the funding for their re-
search comes from grants outside
the University.

While UK does appropriate mon-
ey for their work, “the University
is not in the situation to provide
money for major research," Smith
said.

"The state is giving us the bas-
ics,” said Siege]. The “basics” in-
clude the salaries of the researchers,
lab technicians and secretaries,
greenhouse facilities and equip-
ment.

Bomb likely cause
ofjetliner crash,
French officials say

By CHARLES CAMPBELL
Associated Press

PARIS — A bomb probably
caused the crash of a French DC- 10
jetliner that disappeared shortly af-
ter taking off from Chad with 171
people on board, the airline said to
day.

The French airline UTA also said
it received an anonymous call from
a man claiming responsibility for
the crash on behalf of the Moslem
terrorist group Islamic Jihad. The
airline said it was not in a position
to judge its authenticity and in—
formed the French Foreign Mini-
stry.

The wreckage of the aircraft was
found today scattered over a wide
area in a desolate region of south-
central Niger. There was no word
on survivors. The wife of the US
ambassador to Chad and a Chadian
Cabinet minister were among those
reported on board.

“It exploded at high altitude,
leaving every reason to believe it
was a bomb," UTA airline spokes-
man Michel Friess said on French
television. He said it was possible,
but less likely, that a technical fail-
ure was to blame.

On March 10, 1984.23 bomb ex-
ploded on a UTA DC«8 flying the
same route just before the plane
was to take off from N‘Djamena,
injuring 25 people on board. An
otherwise unknown group calling
itself “Group ldriss Miskini"
claimed responsibility but the Cha-
dian government blamed Libya for
the bombing.

Chad fought with Libyan-backed
rebels for more than a decade. but
the situation has been calm for the
past two years, and Chad and Libya
recently signed an agreement to
settle their border dispute peaceful-
ly.

“It appears to have exploded in
flight at high altitude.” said the

spokesman, who spoltc on condi-
tion of anonymity. "The pieces are
widely scattered, \0 it didn't trash
on impact."

Among the passengers on Tucs—
day's UTA airline flight was Bon
nie Pugh, wife of the US. aniha»
sador Robert l... Pugh. the If S
Embassy in Chad said.

The plane was found shortly after
dawn Tuesday by a Transall aircraft
sent by the French military contra
gent in N‘Djamena, the Chadian
capital.

The Defense Ministry said the
wreckage was spread oyer a wide
rocky and sandy area in the Termit
mountains. north of Lakc Chad.

L'TA said in a statement the
wreckage was found at 16.54 dc-
grecs north latitude and 11.54 dc-
grecs east longitude It gave no pas-

Congressional panel subpoenas
Pierce to testify about scandal

By WILLIAM M. WELCH
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A congres-
sional panel voted unanimously
yesterday to subpoena former HUD
Secretary Samuel R. Pierce Jr. to
testify about alleged influence-
peddling and mismanagement at the
department he once headed. His at-
torney accused the panel of “vindic-
tive and punitive actions."

Pierce was ordered to appear on
three separate occasions — the first
coming next Tuesday — before the
subcommittee that is investigating
scandals at the Department of
Housing and Urban Development.
The vote had been expected srnce
Pierce provoked anger among the
panel members when he demanded
a third delay on the eve of his
scheduled voluntary testimony last
Friday.

“I think the subcommittee had
no option,” said Rep. Tom Lantos,
D-Calif., chairman of the employ-
ment and housing subcommittee of
the Government Operations Com-
mittee. “The subcommittee had an
agreement with Mr. Pierce.
That agreement was broken unilat-
erally by Mr. Pierce."

Pierce‘s attorney, Paul 1.. Pento,
said the former secretary — who ap~
peared voluntarily before the panel
in May — was willing to testify but

needed another two weeks' time for
preparation.

In a letter to the panel received
before the vote, Pierce’s attorney
said, “We believe the subcommic
tee’s vindictive and punitive actions
in denying Mr. Pierce adequate time
to obtain and review peninent docu-
ments and in insisting on use of
subpoenas are taken in retaliation
against Mr. Pierce’s exercise of his
constitutional right."

But Republicans and Democrats
on the panel rejected that claim,
saying Pierce was trying to unduly
delay and had months of time for
preparation ~ even though Pierce
said he only hired a lawyer this
month.

“Rather than coming forth and
clearing the record he is toying
with the subcommittee in order to
evade or avord his responsibility,"
said Rep. Ted Weiss, D-N.Y.

The subpoenas compel Pierce to
appear or face the possibility of
contempt of Congress proceeding.

But Pierce’s attorney, in holding
open all legal options, raised the
possibility Pierce could appear as
demanded but refuse to answer ques-
tions by invoking his Fifth
Amendment constitutional rights
not to incriminate himself.

“We are forced to rcvrew each and
every option,“ including the Fifth
Amendment, Perito said.

College difficult for many students

USA TODAY/Apple College
Information Network

College life today is: (a) The
path to a lucrative job; (b) An op-
portunity to examine questions that
have intrigued philosophers since
the dawn of time; (c) A non-stop
party that lasts from the first day of
freshman year until graduation; or
(d) A delicate balance of all of the
above.

The best answer would seem to
be D. The four undergraduate years
are a transition between youth and
adulthood, but are hardly a lame-
duck period.

“This is not a playground,“ said
Julie Fox, a senior at David Lip-
scomb University in Nashville,
Tenn. “The academic aspect of col—
lege is something we look at as a

B-52’s discover

new sound.

Review, page 2.

firm foundation. Many students
work, and some really have to
work to pay their way."

Beyond the books and finances,
there are social and recreational op-
portunities, both formal and infor-
mal, campus traditions and person-
al growth.

“Academics, work and worship
are probably the main areas stu<
dents are struggling with," said
Dane Anthony, campus minister at
Belmont College in Nashville, a
Baptist school, where 85 percent of
the students work and many are
non-traditional age students who
have families and other responsibil-
ities.

“They struggle with the cost of
tuition and the cost of living today.
They’re trying to reach some sort
of balance there and remain sane at

the same time. Since Belmont is
technically a Christian campus
there are a large number of students
here who have the additional task of
trying to grow spiritually at the
same time."

Currently, career plans and finan-
cial security often take precedence
over social and political causes, ac
cording to many undergraduate stu-
dents and administrators at public
and private schools in Tennessee.
However, “I do see real pockets of
social activism creeping up," said
Suzanne Matheny, associate dean of
students at Belmont.

“Students consider ‘wherc am I
going once I get a degree?‘ and they
begin to look at amnesty issues.
waste management issues, and oth-
er issucs that will affect their
lives."

Some of the separation from s0~
cial issues is inherent in the aca-
demic structure. Anthony said.
“The college campus l.\ still such
an odd time of life and such an iso-
latcd place, it kind of perpetuates
that lack of involvement to some
extent."

Students at Fisk l, nivcrsity and
Tennessee State I7nivcrsity, both
historically black schools in Nash-
ville, are conccmcd about racial is-
sues, although certainly not exclu—
sivcly. “With TSU being a black
school. there‘s more a sense of uni-
ty everywhere you look," said Wil-
liam Young, a freshman from
Memphis. “Race is iust what
brings us together.“

DIVERSIONS

Beastie Boys grow
with new album

By VALERIE BRONSON
Contributing Critic

PAUL’S BOUTIQUE
Beastie Boys
Capitol Records

After listening to the Beastie
Boy‘s new album, Paul's Boutique.
you may find that in their 3-year
absence, the boys have become true
masters of“rhymin’ and stealin.“‘

The album is a lyrical journey
into the twisted minds of three
cheeba-smoking Brooklynites, best
described by rapmaster MCA,
“Yeah I smoke cheeba, it helps me
with my libido."

As expected, the cover is com-
plete with a warning label about
the explicit lyrics. After opening
the album you’ll discover the pack—
aging is as crafty as the music.

The album cover and tape liner
notes fold out to form a box with a
wide angle shot of the Brooklyn
city block in which Paul's Bou-
tique is located. The Beasties also
have taken the liberty to alter the
Capitol Records logo to Beastie
Boys Records.

When i listened to the album. I
was taken on a trip into Beastie wit
and humor at its finest. The Boys
have been around the block, or so it
seems, and they display their lyrical
finesse in such songs as “High
Plains Drifter."

The song is about a typical boys’

night out on the town stealing cars
and “going 120 driving over mail
boxes.”

They once again display their
boyish nature on “Egg Man," in
which they describe the antics of
three pranksters on an “egging”
spree.

MTV gives us just a glimpse of
the Beastie Boys’ humor with their
first single and video “Hey Ladies."
But the real high point of the al-
bum is “B-Boy Bouillabaisse”
which is just that — a mix of seven
short, spicy raps that will tantalize
the most discriminating of taste
buds.

With the help of the Dust Broth-
ers, these guys successfully pull it
off by sampling songs by everyone
from the Beatles to the Eagles.

The Boys have expanded on the
point they reached with Licensed to
111 and have proven themselves to
be more than a disposable trend.

They've added further dimensions
to rap and have shown its potential
longevity as long as groups like the
Beastie Boys strive to explore and
experiment with it.

Since Licensed to 111, the Beasties
have been in a 3-year court battle
over the royalties they didn't receive
from their old label. Def Jam.

This explains the delay of Paul's
Boutique, which gave them more
time to alter the sound of rap as we
know it.

The B-S2's burst onto the alter-
native music scene in 1979 with
a self-titled album that blended
rockabilly with rhythm and blues
arrangements.

The 8-52‘3 soon developed a
large underground following, es-
pecially with America‘s burgeon-
ing post-disco youth.

Now, in the age of neo—disco,
the B-52's are back with a new
collection of dance music titled
Cosmic Thing. The album is
filled with funky guitar riffs and

 

soaring harmonies all backed with
a thriving rhythm. This return to
what they do best surely will win
back their fans and will no doubt
gain them quite a few more.

The album begins with the title
track that opens with quick snare
drum taps and Fred Schneider's
nasal voice singing “Gyrate it till
you had your till/Just like a pneu-
matic drill.” that develops into a
catchy dance tune.

The Motown influenced track
“Love Shack,” follows, complete
with basic guitar groove, horn
section. and sing-along chorus.
Put these two songs together with

B-52’s create diverse sound on

“Channel 2" and you’ve got a
powerful trilogy of infectious
dance music that’ll keep every-
body on the dance floor.

While a strong album, Cosmic
Thing does have its problems.
Some songs, while intrinsically
good, lack direction and focus.
“Deadbeat Club," for instance,
has a pleasant sound and beautiful
harmonies by Cindy Wilson and
Kate Pierson. but the song lacks
a good, solid melody and is full
of insanely stupid lyrics like. “I
was good/I could talk a mile a
minute/On this caffeine buzz I
was on/We were really hum-

‘ C o s m i c ’
min.”'

If you think B-SZ’s left their
social conscience behind this
time, think again. “Channel Z"
is a sign-of—the-times dance tune,
and the track “Bushfire" does a
little abstract presidential poking.

Cosmic Thing is worth listen-
ing to. The B-52’s are veterans
of the underground music scene
who have influenced bands in
both the alternative and main-
stream areas of modern music.
Their influence on bands like the
Sugarcubes is obvious. Cosmic
Thing is a good example of the
B-52’s at their best.

Movies on Nam
losing their edge

By JERRY BOKAMPER
USA TODAY/Apple College
Information Network

Fifteen years after the fall of
Saigon, the Vietnam War is be-
coming just another tableau for
moviemakers.

But with time and the grow-
ing list of movies that deal with
Vietnam subjects, as well as the
television series “Tour of Duty"
and “China Beach," the war has
become safe dramatic fodder.

Vietnam was taboo in Holly-
wood for years. Even a late-
1970s rash of pictures generated
more critical hallelujahs than
box-office receipts. “Platoon,"
directed by Oliver Stone,
changed that. Oscar-winning and
popular, the 1986 release pierced
a barrier of presumptions

The big-time directors have
addressed the war: Stanley Ku-
brick‘s “Full Metal Jacket,”
Francis Coppola’s “Gardens of
Stone" and now Brian DePalma
with “Casualties of War.”

The “meaning" of Vietnam
has been explored on camera in
a number of venues, from Oliv-
er Stone's brutal-lyrical realism
to Kubrick's sound-stage insani—

ty to Coppola's homefront mel-
odrama.

But the domestication of Viet-
nam is best seen in a slew of
lesser projects.

Two themes run through this
post-“Platoon" generation: the
brotherhood of combat and the
futility of the war.

“Bat 21" forges a long-
distance connection between
downed pilot Gene Hackman and
the helicopter pilot, played by
Danny Glover, who is deter-
mined to rescue him.

An ensemble cast of un-
knowns in “Hamburger Hill”
plays out complicated, convinc-
ing relationships as a squad of
paratroopers trying to take a
meaningless objective.

The POWs of “The Hanoi
Hilton" share hell in a small
place. As long as they can com-
municate with one another, they
can withstand the horrors of
prison camp.

The movies that have come
after “Platoon" deal in the same
palette of mud, blood, disillu~
sionment and horror. The exper-
ience is there, but the shock is
dampened. As a movie subject,
Vietnam has been pacified.

Clooney to perform at homecomin

 

By HUNTER HAYES a
smwm“ Clooney will sing
classics of Porter,

World-renown singer Rosemary ‘ .
Gershwm and Berlin.

Clooney will make a homecoming
to Kentucky on Oct. 12 when she

Center for the Arts.

The concert is the highlight of
the celebration of the 100th Anni-
versary of the UK Alumni Associa-
tion and marks the first Lexington
performance for the Maysville,
Ky., native.

Clooney began her career singing
duets with her sister Betty at
WLW-AM in Cincinnati. Shortly
thereafter, the sisters went on tour
with Tony Pastor’s band.

Clooney rose to fame in 1951
with a hit recording of the n0velty
song “Come On — A My House,”
which remains her trademark.

Clooney was the first female
singer to appear on the cover of
Time and become the first woman
Grand Marshal of the Kentucky
Derby. She has been a frequent
guest on “The Tonight Show" and
has appeared on “Entertainment To-
night" and “Good Morning Ameri-
ca ..

ney as the “next Betty Hutton."
She has had a successful career
with Columbia Records and recent-
ly the Concord jazz label.

Besides enjoying a tremendous
career as a headliner in Las Vegas,
Nev., Clooney has written an auto-
biography, This for Remembrance,

that was made into a 1984 CBS
movie.

Clooney‘s performance at UK
likely will include selections from
her 14m and most recent album
“Rosemary Clooney’s Broadway
Album.“

Clooney, who has been called
one of the finest interpreters of
American popular song. — will
sing classics of Cole Porter. Ira
Gershwin and Irving Berlin.

mance are $15 for the general pub-
lic and $10 for students. They are

Pre-portion desserts keep sweets from taking back seat

By CHRISTINE LYONS

Remember the times of guilt-free
cheesecake, pie, and rich, gooey
carrotcake?

Now we know the grim facts —
that cheesecake raises cholesterol,
that pie crust is saturated with fat.
and even healthy sounding carrot
cake is terrible for triglyceride-
watchers. These are tough times for
dessert-lovers.

Sweets are a treat; that’s one rea-
son people love them so much,
said behavior therapist Elizabeth
McCoy of Nyack. “Since we were
kids, they’ve been a reward for be-
ing good."

McCoy remembers coming home
from school one day, crying be-

cause some kids stole her lunch
money. To boost her spirits, her
parents took her out for a hot-fudge
sundae. “We think of sweets as
comforting,” said McCoy. “They're
a quick fix to make us feel better.”

And these days, it's also kind of
naughty to eat dessert “That makes
it even more appealing,” McCoy
said.

Still, our bodies have a built-in
need for sweets, said David Mela. a
nutritionist with the Monell Chem-
ical Senses Center in Philadelphia.
He said we’re born with a drive, an
instinct for self-preservation, that
tells us calories are good for us; re-
searchers have watched babies just a
few days old choose sweets over
salty formulas.

“Having a sweet tooth is perfect-
ly natural," Mela said. “It’s genet-

ic.”

“Sugar also gives a person a lift.
It's a stimulant," said Dr. Sarah
Short, a nutritionist who studies
eating behavior at Syracuse Univer-
sity. “And because of that, many
people, when they get depressed, re-
ward themselves with high-caloric
yummies.”

People get that feeling of well-
being because sugar boosts seroto-
nin, a chemical in the brain that
lifts anxiety and depression.

“If you feel grumpy and you eat a
sweet or starchy food, half an hour
later, you'll feel normal again.
Those negative feelings will have
gone away," said Massachusetts In-
stitute of Technology researcher Ju-
dith Wurtman. Just 30 grams of
carbohydrates does the trick — spin—
ning soothing serotonin into the

brain for up to two hours.

But, said Wurtman. if you eat
protein with the sweet, the seroto-
nin won’t be activated and fat will
slow down the process.

But that soothing feeling isn't
what gets people heading for the
dessert table. The main reason we
love sweets is they taste so good,
said McCoy, and it’s the tastiest
treats that wreak the most havoc on
the body. “The ones with botlt sug-
ar and fat are the most disastrous.
They're sweet, moist and indul-
gent."

In a recent Gallup poll, one out
of three respondents said that to re-
duce their risk of heart disease,
they'd cut down on meat, give up
junk food and drink skim instead of
whole milk. But only one out of
six would give up cheesecake and

other rich desserts.

US. Department of Agriculture
surveys back up those findings.
Over the past 10 years, low-fat
milk has steadily replaced whole
milk, but people are eating more
desserts. In a survey of 1,500 wom-
en, five percent said they‘re eating
more ice cream; four percent more
pics, cakes and cookies; and nine
percent are eating more candy .

Eating sensibly all day, then pig-
ging out on dessert might appear
contradictory. But, said Mela, the
urge for dessert might be your body
asking for calories so it can keep
going. “Let's say you eat fruit and
salad all day; you’re probably not
consuming many calories," Mela
said. “By the time dessert rolls
around, you’re a really hungry per-
son with only a couple of hours to

make up your calories."

Sick of being martyrs to nutri-
tion, people find portion-controlled
treats an easy cheat that gives
enough of a taste to get the craving
out of their systems.

Gail Sloan, a Manhattan publi-
cist. credits Hershey's Kisses with
helping her to lose 93 pounds.
Whenever she gets a craving for a
sweet, she buys a little nine-pack
of the kisses (225 calories), takes a
couple, then gives the others away.

“I call it damage control,” said
Sloan. “But it sends me on my way
with a smile."

Today‘s diners are also eating
smaller portions of rich desserts,
without scrimping on quality, said
cookie manufacturer Oscar Karnbly.
“Connoisseurs want the best,” he

argues.

UK sociology professor given national award for study

By JOHN COONEY
Contributing Writer

UK‘s rural sociology program
was nationally recognized last
month when sociology professor
Thomas R. Ford became the third
UK sociology professor to be
named a Distinguished Rural Soci-
ologist.

The title was presented by the

Rural Sociological Society who
cited Ford’s “lifelong record of
scholarship, his excellence in teach-
ing and advising, his extraordinary
service to the profession and the ru-
ral sociology discipline" as some of
the reasons for selecting Ford.
Previous winners of the Distin-
guished Rural Sociologist award in-
clude UK sociology professors
emeritus Howard W. Beers and A.

Lee Coleman.

Many Kentuckians do not realize
the strength of UK’s rural sociolo—
gy program, which studies people
living in rural areas, Ford said.

“Most of the people at the Uni-
versity and in the state do not know
that we have one of the leading na-
tional and even international pro-
grams of rural sociology here at the
University of Kentucky," he said.

“I think this is important that we
have been a leader in this special-
ized area for the past 35 years."

But Ford said despite the pro-
gram's prestige, the department is
losing good instructors because of
low funding levels.

Many universities with stronger
financial resources already have
lured three top sociology professors
away from UK by offering higher

Tobacco industry changing strategy

By KAREN BEN EZRA

STAMFORD, Conn. — The
American Tobacco Co. got its start
more than 124 years ago, when
Washington Duke first hauled his
leafy crop to market in a wagon
pulled by two blind mules.

And for many years, industry in-
siders joked that the company’s
marketing strategy didn‘t benefit
from much clear vision either.

Once the country’s top cigarette
maker in the days when unfiltered
Lucky Strike and Pall Mall were
major brands, American Tobacco
consistently lost ground to filtered
competitors
