The notorious

“Super Jockey," (which
features stuns such as

to eat repulsive flavored
ice cream) recently
began selling
commercial time on the
show by inviting
potential sponsors to
present bikini-clad
women who would
endure dunkings in
scalding-hot water and
then to be rewarded
with commercial time
equivalent to the
number of seconds they

Name-calling

Category
created for
strippers

With all the ruckus in
Lexington about the
city's anti-strip club laws
that are trying to be
enacted, we though it
might be refreshing to
look at the issue from
the point of view of our
northern neighbor,
Canada.

In July, Canada's
lluman Resources
Development office
announced it was
creating a special legal
category for strippers
entering the country to
address what a leading
immigration lawyer
called “a shortage of
exotic dancers."

There has been no
word yet as to whether
or not the shortage has
been filled.

Student recounts crash

While most students clung onto their summer, one
student watched Russia endure economic hardship

By Ellen Lord

ASSlSTANT NEWS EDITOR

On Aug. 17. the big news in the
United States was President Clinton
admitting he had an inappropriate
relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

On Aug. 17. most UK students,
faculty and staff were enjoying their
last week of summer.

Across the globe in Russia,
where Clinton would visit two weeks
later. word on the street was that the
value of the ruble was falling fast.

Across the globe in a foreign cul-
ture and environment. UK graduate

Anne Clay was vacationing in
Moscow with her sister when the de—
valuation of the Russian currency
began spiraling out of control.

“The banks were actually shut-
ting down." she said. “All the stores
were closing ,,__ the ice cream stands.
the flower stands were closed. Then
the beggars started coming out of the
woodwork."

Unaware at the time of what was
happening economically, Clay could
only judge the events by what she
saw.

She walked through a metal de-
tector into Red Square and noticed
that the number of soldiers had

tripled since the day before. She saw
communists silently waving Soviet
Union flags and holding red carna-
tions.

She, her sister and their Russian
friend went to an ATM only to find it
blanketed in receipts that said the
machine was out of money.

Clay said she could see business
workers, in closed stores. writing
new prices on products to adjust for
the devaluation of the ruble.

Where there had been none the
day before, she saw long lines of peo-
ple at banks trying to buy American
dollars with rubles.

“I noticed in the line the despair
in people‘s faces." said Clay. who
joined them in a vain attempt to ex-
change currencies.

“I had to stand in line with those
people. but I had a plane ticket home."

As Russians in Moscow learned
the ruble was falling, they rushed to
withdraw their money and buy food,
fearing the stores would run out.
said Klara Sabirianova, a Russian
economics graduate student who left
her country the day of the crash.

“Because the demand for prod-
ucts would be increased. the result:
the prices would go up," Sabirianova
said. “ For example. many of the
foods became more expensive by two
or four times."

Russian workers. many of whom
hadn‘t seen a paycheck in months.
began selling their personal posses-
sions shirts. pictures. china and
watches 7 0n the streets of Moscow.

“You could drive. and there
would be a line shoulder-toshoul-

Enrollments increase for UK, LCC 0.. t...

Community college, University draw more top
scholars than in previous years, officials say

IleIGerla

CONTRlBUTlNG NINTH!

[f increased enrollment for stu»
dents at UK and Lexington Commu-
nity College is any indicator. both
schools are a popular choice for high
school graduates this year

UK‘ 5 numbers increased nearly
9 percent from 2 626 freshmen in 1997
to 2 860 freshmen this year. I C( in
creased almost 10 percent from 5. 558
freshmen last year to 6.100 freshmen
this year.

The increase came as a surprise

for LCC President Jim Kerley.

“I expected an increase because
of all the applications We received
this summer. but i expected it to be
about six percent or so." Kerley said.
”It was a steady increase last year.
but this year was dramatic. We're
absolutely selling every space (for
classes) from seven (in the morning)
to nine at night."

Statistics show the freshmen
who enrolled at UK are academically
oriented.

“Many students want to come to
a school with an honors program."

said Shirley Raines, vice chancellor
for Academic Services and dean of
the College of Education for UK.
“And UK has an honors program."

The greatest increase at LCC has
been among black students. whose
enrollment has increased 25 percent.
Younger students. ages 2024. also in»
creased 15 percent.

“Most new students (at l.(‘(‘)."
Kerley said. “are transferring to UK.
We also have many who are in tech
nical programs."

Recruitment activities have also
played a major role in the increased
enrollment. said Patrick Herring. di-
rector of Undergraduate Admissions
for UK.

“Our target has shifted this year.
We have become more inclusive in

our approach and more service ori-
ented." Herring said. “Next year. our
admissions will be more competie
live."

"We have people going to high

said. “Our admission is a team ef-
fort.“

The increase in students also
means an increase in revenue for
both schools.

Attorney pushes for delay In trial

PADUCAH — An attorney cited a state law
prohibiting the pretrial release of mental records
of young defendants in pushing yesterday for a
delay in the trial of a teen charged with killing
three of his classmates.

Tom Osborne, the attorney for Michael
Carneal. said the pretrial publicity which in-
cludes two reports on Carneal‘s mental state
would make it difficult for his client to receive a
fair trial.

McCracken Commonwealth‘s Attorney Tim
Kaltenbach argued against a delay in the
scheduled Oct. 5 trial. The prosecutor said all
sides in the case. including the victims. de-
serve a fair and speedy trial. and that publicity
would not subside by pushing back the starting
date.

McCracken Circuit Judge Jeff Hines said he
would rule on the defense motion for a continu-
ance within the next couple of days.

The 15-year-old Carneal is accused of killing
three of his classmates and injuring five others
during a shooting spree last Dec. 1 in the lobby at
Heath High School. The students were part of a
prayer group.

Carneal attended the 20-minute hearing
Tuesday. He was dressed in a black-and-white
striped jail jumpsuit and sat at the defense table
with his hands folded on the desk and looked
down between his arms toward the floor. He did-
n’t make any comments during the hearing.

Osborne said he was especially concerned by
the release of a mental evaluation of Carneal that
was prepared for prosecutors.

Most Kentuckians want Clinton out

LOUISVILLE —— Most members of Kentucky‘s
congressional delegation are reserving judgment
on the sex scandal surrounding President Clin-
ton. but their constituents are speaking out.

Staff members said hundreds of phone calls
and e-mail messages have poured into Ken-
tucky lawmakers' offices since Friday. when in-
dependent counsel Kenneth Starr released his
report.

Many said the president should resign or be
impeached —~ contradicting national polls that
show people want the president to stay in the
White House even as they disapprove of Clinton
personally.

The calls were running 9 to 1 against Clinton
in US. Rep. Ron Lewis‘ office.

"I tell you it‘s overwhelming," said Lewis.
a Republican from Cecilia. who is the only
Kentucky lawmaker to say publicly say the
president should resign. “Everyone I talked to
A just everyone - said. ‘Impeach the presi-
dent.”

Grand jury begins Investigating
Jonlenet Rainsey Inurder

BOULDER, Colo. — A grand jury convened
on Tuesday to investigate the JonBenet Ramsey
case and use the panel’s subpoena powers to get
the answers that have eluded police for nearly
two years.

The Gyearold beauty queen was found beat-
en and strangled in the basement of her home in
December 1996. and the failure to make an arrest
since then has led to allegations that police and
prosecutors botched the case, perhaps even delib
erately.

In March. police asked that the case be
turned over to a grand jury. saying they need the
panel’s subpoena powers to get to the bottom of
the slaying.

In making the request, Cmdr. Mark Beckner.
now police chief. noted that JonBenet‘s parents.
John and Patsy Ramsey, have refused requests
for interviews since he took over the case in De-
cember.

The Ramseys have denied any involvement
in their daughter’s death. Their attorney had no
comment on the convening of the grand jury.

“This is where we've wanted to be for quite
some time." Beckner said Monday.

“The grand jury can be a good investigative
tool and we hope there may be something else
out there that we maybe haven't gotten."

A grand jury can force uncooperative wit-
nesses to testify and can compel people to turn
over documents and other potential evidence.

Al Fayed launches new web site

base of newspaper articles relating to Mr. Al
Fayed's interesting life."

Madonna draws ire of Hindus

EW DELHI. India — Madonna drew the
wrath of some Hindus by wearing a holy facial
marking while wearing a see-through blouse. But
she’s won the respect of some Hindu priests for
her pronunciation.

Sanskrit language scholars had complained
about Madonna‘s mispronunciations of religious
incantations on her new Ray of Light album.

But United News of India reported Tuesday
that Brahmin priests in India’s holiest city were
impressed with her improved pronunciation
when she recited a mantra during the recent
MTV awards.

The World Vaishnava Association issued a
statement this week condemning Madonna for
wearing a holy facial marking while “wearing
clothes through which her nipples were clearly
visible and while gyrating in a sexually sugges-
tive manner." Vaishnavas are a branch of Hin-
dus.

FIRE

Continued from paqel

Harold McKune. assistant
chief of the Lexington division
of fire and emergency services .
said that Lexington usually ex-
periences an outbreak in brush
fires in August and September.

“We typically see brush
fires during these months. but
this is one of the driest Falls we
have seen in quite a while. so
the problem is more preva-
lent.” he said.

McKune added that it will
probably take more than one
strong rain to eliminate the

fire hazard brought on by the
dry weather.

Although many might
think the easy solution to the
fire hazard on campus is to
simply water all the mulch
beds and grass that present the
danger, it is not that easy said
Applegate.

“We are trying to comply
with guidelines set by the
Kentucky American Water
Co., which were meant to cut
back water usage during this
dry spell.“ Applegate said.

“Most of the sprinklers
that you see on campus are
watering new plants or grass
in construction areas which
would die otherwise.”

WKU tops Cats

After winning Butler Invitational
over weekend, UK loses to Toppers

By Dave Gama!

STA" WRITER

Things don’t al~
ways go as well as you
plan.

UK junior middle
blocker Jaclyn Homan

predicted that her
team would win if they
played their style

game. She had eight
block assists though
her team lost to the
visiting Western Ken~
tucky Lady Toppers at
Memorial Coliseum
last night. 151'}. 15-11
and 15-12.

Her teammates
also put up some num-
bers, including junior
Katie Eiserman's 16
kills and six digs, but
all to no avail.

Eiserman said the
loss was mostly be-
cause of mental errors.

“We couldn't stay
focused for even five
points at a time.“ Eis-
erman said. “I don‘t
know what to say
it‘s unexplainable.“

It's not hard to see
why she thought that

way after her team had
such a great weekend
in lndianapolis. The
loss broke their three
game winning streak
and brought their
record to 6-3 for the
season.

UK’s seniors also
put up some big statis-
tics. LaTanya Webb
and Jenny Muzzey
recorded 12 and 10
kills. respectively.

Although Homan's
prediction didn‘t come

true. Muzzey said
Head Coach Jona
Braden‘s prediction

that WKU would come
at them came true.
“They‘re real
scrappy." Muzzey said,
“You can‘t assume a
ball is down until you
hear the whistle blow."
Leading the way
for the “scrappy" Lady
Toppers was junior
middle hitter Kim Car-
penter. who had 19
kills. four digs and
three block assists for
the night. WKU sopho~
more outside hitter
Melissa Starck added

 

nine kills and eight
digs. Last night's win
over the Cats marked
their best start in
school history (8-3).

WKU Head Coach
Travis Hudson saw the
win from a totally (lll
ferent perspective.

”It was exciting.
they are what we strive
to be like," Hudson said
of UK. "Kentucky is a
program on the rise.
(Coach) .lona Braden is
one of the classiest peo-
ple I‘ve met."

The Cats nearly
made a huge comeback
in the last game. When
UK was down 12-5. it
scored five straight
points. causing the
Lady Toppers to take
two timeouts to gather
themselves. However.
the Cats eventually lost
the last game. 1.3-12.

Junior setter Terri
Crabb had a whopping
42 assists and four kills
for the Cats. She
thought the Cats could
have been more sharp.

"I think at one
point in the match we
scored every one of
their points. not to
take away from them
though." Crabb said.

Braden said her
team has things to

Work on as they will be
playitig squads better
than WKU.

“We need to work
on serving tough.”
Braden said. “We need
to put on the pressure
more. (Against West-
ern) we were reactive
rather than proactive.
We were too consumed
With the other side."

The Wildcats will
serving up some blue-
grass hospitality when
they play host in the
Kentucky Conference
Challenge this week-
end at Memorial Coli-
seum. UK plays
Arkansas State at 7
pm. on Friday night.
(in Saturday the Cats
play Southern
Methodist at 11:30 am.
and Clemson at 7 pm.

Sophomore out-
side hitter Stephanie
Taylor was in a car
wreck this past week-
end. The details have
not been released yet
but Braden was thank-
ful to have her back.

“Praise God she’s
OK.“ Braden said.

Braden said Tay-
lor had minor injuries.
Taylor contributed tv. ')
block assists against

Home runs hit UK

The historical home run chase between Mark
McGwire and Sammy Sosa has UK talking

By Rich Cook
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Baseball fans nationwide
have been swept away by the
race between Mark McGwire
and Sammy Sosa for the home-
run record. saying it is doing
great things for the sport of
baseball.

“1 don't think it's a magic
bullet. by any means." said
Michael Estes. an English and
classics junior. “But it'll show
people there is something excit-
ing about baseball."

"It‘s good for the sport. I
don‘t follow baseball, but I‘m
into it now." said Matt Lashin-
sky. an electrical engineering
senior.

Finance sophomore Darryl
Beckham said he normally
doesn't watch baseball. but the
race has peaked his interest.

“The sport has gotten old
and this makes it fun. like it
used to be," Beckham said.

Fans are flocking back to
baseball with renewed interest
in the game after the recent
baseball strike. Even people who
aren‘t fans of the game are keep-
ing up with the home run race.

“I keep up with it more."
said Keri Chamberlain. an edu»
cation senior. “I know more
about baseball. because of the
competition between McGwire
and Sosa."

Chamberlain said the race
might not do a lot for fans in
Kentucky. because there‘s no
pro baseball team in the state.
but it will give a boost to the
game in other places.

Steven Stone, a psychology
junior. disagreed. After all the
hype of McGwire breaking
Roger Maris” old record of 61
home runs. he believes the
thrill will wear off.

“I don‘t think that anybody
will care," Stone said. “I don‘t
think the excitement will last."

The race is getting hot, with
McGwire hitting his 63rd last
night. Fans are choosing their
favorite contestant and predict»
ing the final outcome.

Mark Rogers. from UK‘s
electronics department. said
the race for the record has re-
newed his interest in the game
after he gave up on it during
the strike. He is rooting for
McGwire and predicts he will

set the record at 65.

“It would be a shame if
McGwire didn‘t win." Rogers
said. "He‘s had about 100 fewer
times at bat than Sosa. so it'd be
a shame if he lost the record
now."

Estes. a longtime (jubs fan.
is rooting for Sosa. He is excited
about the possibility that Sosa
might claim the record. because
he would like to see somebody
fresh get the record.

"Everyone‘s expected McG-
wire to get it all year." Estes
said. “Sammy has been largely
ignored from the beginning."

Robert ()wsley. a campus
recreation equipment and facil-
ities attendant. agrees and
would like to see Sosa get into
the limelight. He understands
why the intensity of the hype
for Sosa wasn‘t as high as the
hype for McGwire.

”McGwire came from a col-
lege background while Sosa
came from the Dominican Re-
public." ()wsley said. “They
have different playing styles."

But Owsley has a different
slant on the final outcome. He
wants to see McGwire and Sosa
share the National League's
Most Valuable Player award be
cause of their similar accomr
plishments.

“They should share in the
spotlight.“ he said.
