Court calls order unconstitutional

By Rob Thorne
Staff Writer

The Student Government Associ-
ation Supreme Court ruled yester-
day that President Pete November
cannot issue any more executive or-
ders limiting the student senate‘s
power to disperse funds. unless an
emergency situation arises.

The decision springs from No-
vember’s Feb. 24 order to freeze
senate disbursements because of
what he called “irresponsible spend-
ing." November lifted the freeze
March 3, but senators Heather Hen-

nel and Misty Weaver decided to
bring their complaint before the
court anyway.

In its decision, the court looked
mostly at whether the president had
the authority to take away the
spending power of the senate, Chief
Justice Ken Walker said.

Walker said he thought the exec-
utive order took away the senate's
power to appropriate funds, which
is its main function.

Hennel has said that abuse was
her biggest concern. If someone
had not challenged November’s
precedent, future presidents could
use it to abuse power, she said last

week.

“We are not against Pete Novem-
ber," she said. “We just want future
presidents to know they cannot
abuse executive orders.“

Hennel was not available for
comment after the decision was
reached.

Walker said the scope of the in-
junction placed against November
is rather limited.

The decision reads:

“The supreme court holds that the
respondent wrongfully issued the
executive order in violation of the
constitution. We furthermore order
the respondent to refrain from issu-

ing further executive orders of the
same or similar nature.”

November, who was not availa-
ble for comment last night, has stat-
ed repeatedly that he has no inten-
tion of issuing future orders
restricting the senate‘s spending.

The court elected to review the
controversial matter —— even though
the freeze has been lifted —— be-
cause a majority of justices thought
it needed addressing.

Walker, writing the 4-1 majority
opinion, said “the mere lifting of
the executive order does not right

Senate votes down controversial bill

By Nicole Heumphreus
Staff Writer

The Student Govemment Associ-
ation Senate did not pass the UK
Right to Life bill at last night‘s sen-
ate meeting, marking the first time
in the 1992-93 school year that the
body has not given money to a stu-
dent organization.

The bill, which sought $390,
failed because it asked only for
money for advertisements.

Last week, when SGA President

Pete November lifted a executive
order freezing the senate’s money,
he reminded the senators that they
need to spend their money more re-
sponsibly.

Now, senators say they are wary
of giving money to groups who ask
only for advertising funds because
it could appear as if the groups are
not providing a service for the stu-
dent body.

“If this bill had been for a service
for students, it would have probably
passed, but this was for a member-
ship drive," said College of Arts

and Sciences Senator Shea Chaney.
“The senate does not want to spend
money for (Kentucky) Kernel ads.“

At least seven bills seeking mon—
ey for student activities were passed
by the senate last night. Those bills
totaled more than 37.500 in expen-
ditures.

Jeff King, a political science sen-
ior and the president of the UK
Right to Life group, said he be-
lieved the bill did not pass because
it was controversial and not because
it asked for money for advertise-
ments.

“The senate gave the National
Organization for Women and the
Students Against Violating the En-
vironment money to advertise in the
(Kentucky) Kernel." King said.

“If it had not been a controversial
bill, it probably would have passed.
It did not pass because we are pro—
life and we‘re a minority on this
campus."

Derek (iwinn, the senator for the
College of Human Environmental
Sciences. disagreed with King.

Program seeking
minority teachers

By Melissa Rosenthal
Staff Writer

A new program is being estab-
lished to grant minority scholar-
ships for college students who want
to pursue teaching careers.

The intent of the program, which
will distribute $27,000 to Kentucky
graduates and undergraduates, is to
increase the number of minorities
who teach in the state‘s classrooms.

As of 1991, only 2 percent of the
applicants to the teacher education
programs at Kentucky's colleges
and universities were black. accord-
ing to the Center for Recruitment
and Retention of Minorities in
Teacher Education.

The center. which is housed at
UK, will coordinate the new schol-
arship effort in conjunction with the
state Department of Education.

Elizabeth Nelli. chairwoman of
the scholarship program‘s selection
committee, said it is important for
schoolchildren to see people of
their own ethnic backgrounds and
other ethnic backgrounds to fully
understand that everyone is not the
same.

“There are some children in

towns where there are no minority
teachers or students." Nelli said.

“These students need to see role
models that are of an ethnic back-
ground unlike their own.

“There is deﬁnitely a need for
more minorities in the education
ﬁeld.“

Nine scholarships totaling $3.000
each will be awarded.

Students who receive them Will
be required to teach one year in
Kentucky for each year they receive
scholarship money.

Recipients also will be required
to continue a full-time education
until they attain teaching ccrtiti-
cares.

The scholarships will be availa-
ble to to Kentucky residents in an

accredited teacher education pro-
gram within the stntc.
Nelli said appliczmts will be

screened be the committee based on
written essays. transcripts. experi-
ence and extra-curricular activities.

She said students from all colleg-
es and universities in the state will
be considered.

Dolphins often victimized for amusement

By Michael Warren
Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla — The ap-
plause is like thunder at Sea World,
where dolphins put on a spectacular
show.

Rushing through the water and
leaping through the air, they hum-
ble the 10 million slow-swimming
humans who come each year to
marvel at the marine mammals‘
beauty and brain power and only
guess at their life under the sea

But behind the scenes at Sea
World and more than 40 other US.
marine parks mid aquarium, dol-
phins pay dearly for our pleasure.

Some drown in nee. overdose on
chlorine, orare rammed to death by
hostile tankrnates. Others have been
sliced by glass and poisoned by
pennies. Most of these highly intel-
ligent creatures die from diseases
and ulcers induced by stress in the
concrete tanks, according to federal
records.

The dead -- m that 650 since

the government began keeping
count in 1973 —— survived fewer
than five years in captivity on aver-
age. federal mortality reports show.

Now. after decades of immense
popularity and uneven regulation.
marine parks face criticism both
from scientists who study wild ceta-
ceans —— dolphins. whales and por-
poises — and from animal rights
activists who hope to make attend-
ing dolphin shows as socially incor-
rect as wearing a fur coat.

Aquarium ofﬁcials argue. howev-
er, that dolphin-loving activists are
selﬁsh in denying others the chance
to enjoy the creatures up close.

"They all went to the side of a
tank and had this epiphany experi-
encelwouldhatetomlethatout
for the future. for everybody else,"
said Nancy Hotchkiss of the Amat-
can Association of Zoological Parks
and Aquarium in Wheeling. W.Va

Yet tndicatiom me the critics are
being head.

“Die US. Department of Agricul-
ture is cracking down on parts that
violal: dolphin pl'otection laws.

For related stories, see
Page 5.

Substandard dolphin shows are
closing. Plans for new dolphin and
whale exhibits are being dropped.
No Atlantic bottlenose dolphins
have been caught in the wild since
1989, largely because of public ob-
jections.

“We‘re taking our role more seri-
ously,“ said Ann Terbush. permit-
ting chief of the National Marine
Fisheries Service in Washington.
“We're getting more reports. more
frequent comments from the public
more infractions are coming to
ourattention.“

Some reports come from “spies."

In June. two women videotaped a
27-year-old dolphin called Pepper
bobbing alive but listless at Ocean
World. its back covered with zinc
oxlth against the sun.

Ticket says
SGA needs

8y Lance Williams
Staff Writer

One Student (iovemment Associ-
ation vice presidential candidate
told a group of almost 30 students
last night that his ticket will “drive
SGA down the throats of every stu-
dent on campus."

Michael Eaves. vice-presidential
candidate. zuid ninning mate Scott
Mason said in their first regularly
scheduled forum that, if elected.
one of their main thrusts for next
year will be to increase students‘
awareness about what is going on in
SGA.

Eaves said during the forum in
Wildcat Lodge that public relations
is one of the things he would focus
on most. He has served as a public-
relations agent for UK's lntrafrater-
nity Council for the past three
months.

Presidential candidate Mason
said he and Faves “plan to revital-
ize the SGA" because. currently. “it
is not publicized enough."

Mason said his platform should
be ready to take before the student
body March 21. He said their carn-
paign is ”already iii full strength,"
but they will use spring break to
“polish up some" on the tickets
platform.

Besides publicity. the two said
they will try to change the attitudes

was the tuition increase next year.

The only dissenting justice, Scott
Damron, argued that the case was
moot because. under the constitu-
tion. the judicial branch has the
power only to correct inequities or
violations.

“In this case the inequity has al-
ready been corrected." Darnron
wrote.

The court ruled against Novem-
ber for a ntunber of reasons besides
abuse. Urgency was a main issue.

November said the issue was ur~
gent because he heard that up to 12
student groups were getting ready
to ask for money from the senate.

“I felt we had gotten to the point
where we had become a bank for
this campus." November said

“Someone came up to me and asked

Hennel refuted the urgency. say-
ing SGA had more than $26,000 in
its account. and that only two
groups were coming before the sen—
ate on Feb.24 to ask for money.

llcnnel also argued that Novem-

ecutive order.

The court agreed: “The presiden‘

Also last night. the senate ap-

Not in Kansas Anymore
Imago Records

By Ernest A. Jasmln
Staff Critic

Washington. D.C.-based Base—
head proves itself to be one of
the most underrated forces in
pop music today with sophomore
effort Not in Kansas Anymore.

Spin magazine called the
group‘s first album, Play With
Toys. one of the best albums of
1992. But the group only re-
ceived minimal cult status de-
spite such acclaim.

It‘s nor often that music this
innovative and creative reaps so
few financial rewards.

However, it is also not often
that a record company's public
relations does such a bad job at
selling its talent.

I mean, really. Front man Mi-
chael Ivey should shoot whoever
is in charge of publicity for his
brainchild.

Then again, maybe I shouldn‘t
be so hard on Imago‘s PR. It's a
relatively small company, and it
is not always easy to hype a
group that does not fall neatly
into one of the handful of popu-
lar pseudo-categories.

Tossing Basehead onto the ge-
neric alternative junkheap (i.e.,
the category created to give the
illusion of being cutting edge
while marketing pop that doesn‘t
fit previously established catego-
ries). as I have seen it in some
record stores, alienates much of
the audience for which the music
was written.

Basehead has the social rele-
vance of hip hop groups like
Public Enemy and Boogie Down
Productions. The group deals
with many issues relevant to
young black Americans.

But don‘t be deceived into
thinking Basehead is strictly seri-
ous. Ivey and company have an
off-the-wall style and sense of
humor that is kind of like Fish-
bone meets the Beastie Boys.

And the music lives up to the
challenge of backing (or maybe
overshadowing) the group’s unu-
sual concepts. One way to deﬁne
the group's music is funk plus.

In an age where P-funk sam-
ples are hyped up even more
than the original music, a group
like Basehead, if given the prop-
er publicity, could signal a real
funk revival.

Yet, funkin‘ it up doesn‘t keep
Basehead from experimenting
with other types of music and
giving the band a sound that is
all its own. “Not in Kansas Any-

hip hop and other forms of musical
expression.

The new disc features several
funky commentaries, including
“Not in Kansas,” which warns
against the dangers of living in a
dream world during troubled times.
