Quake rocks Bay area; at least 50 killed

Associated Press

An earthquake of major propor-
tions rocked Northern California
yesterday, killing more than 50
people, caving in a section of the
San Francisco Bay Bridge, forcing
World Series fans to evacuate
Candlestick Park and causing wide-
streaddamage.

Lt. Gov. Leo McCarthy said at
least 40 people had been killed in a

Sessions
explains
FBI’s

policies

By GREGORY A. HALL
Staff Writer

FBI Director William Sessions
said that his agency is committed
to working within constitutional
protections set up by the US. At—
torney General and internal regula-
tions and committees. Sessions’
speach last
night was the
biennial Roy
and Virginia
Ray Lecture,
which was at-
tended by about
450 people at
Memorial Hall.

Sessions, the
FBI’s director
since November
1987, defined SESS'ONS
the three primary means by which
information can be legally procured
without invading the right to priva-
cy: electronic surveillance, infor-
mants and undercover agents.

The explosions of Pan Am flight
103 illustrated the need to employ
those techniques. Sessions said.

“PAN AM-103 reaffirmed the ne-
cessity of the enduring intrusive-
ness of strict airport security meas-
ures in order to protect ourselves,
our airways and our citizens both at
home and abroad," Sessions said.

“And in order to fulfill this criti-
cal mission, the FBI has within At-
torney General strict guidelines
been given the authority to use
some intrusive techniques to inves-
tigate certain kinds of crime.

“But the fact is, in many cases
sensitive investigative techniques,
like the informant, court-authorized
surveillances and undercover agents
are the only way in which the FBI
can penetrate terrorists in the drug
trafficking organizations which
threaten our national security, the
only way we can reasonably gain
evidence of fraud in our free market
and in our financial institutions and
really the only practical way that
public corruption can be detected
within the government.”

The director indicated the impor-
tance of wiretapping in the recent
US. Defense Department procure-
ment scandal, in which the only ev-
idence was spoken.

Sessions said that in order for
agents to employ such surveillance
techniques many checks are made at
the local and national levels. some-
times even requiring the approval of
the director.

Using informants requires the ser-
vices of individuals in the commu-
nity who have knowledge about
criminal activity or about criminals
who wish to plea bargain to stop an
illegal operation.

In another FBI operation in Chi-
cago, undercover agents were used
in the commodities market. The
agents began trading illegally and
got enough evidence to indict those
with whom they traded.

highway collapse in Oakland. But
McCarthy said the rubble from the
collapse was so bad that as many a
50 people were feared dead.

Six people were crushed to death
in their cars when part of an old
four-story brick building toppled
onto the vehicles on Bluxome
Street in San Francisco, said Police
Lt. Jerry Kilroy.

One person died of a heart attack
and four people were injured in San

Jose, 50 miles south of San Fran—
cisco, according to Willis Jacobs of
the National Earthquake Informa-
tion Center in Golden, Colo.

Three hours after the quake,
which hit at 5:04 San Francisco
time, the magnitude of the disaster
began to emerge as reports came in
of widespread death and destruction.

McCarthy said a section of Inter-
state 880 in Oakland had caved in,
killing at least 40 people.

“The rubble is so bad that they
still don't have an accurate count of
the fatalities," McCarthy said.

The California Highway patrol
said six were killed in the collapse
of pan of the City Garden Mall in
Santa Cruz.

No major injuries were reported
at Candlestick Park, where Game 3
of the World Series was canceled
and about 60,000 fans were evacu-
ated. No date has been set for the

next game.

The quake, which registered 6.9
on the Richter scale, apparently
was centered about 10 miles north
of Santa Cruz and about ()5 miles
south of San Francisco.

Greeks say
attitudes
changing

By VICTORIA MARTIN
Staff Writer

In response to the death of UK
student Lisa Whalen last year,
many of UK’s greek organizations
have changed their attitude toward
alcohol and started alcohol aware-
ness programs for personal and
community use.

The leading cause of death
among the ages 16 to 24 is alco-
hol-related auto wrecks, according
to the Fraternity Executives Asso-
ciation, which is based in Indiana.

Alcohol awareness among UK’s
greek organizations has improved
during the last few years, Sigma
Chi President Jon Woodall said.

“I’ve lived in the (fraternity)
house 2 1/2 years, and the atti-
tudes have really changed,” he
said. “They’ve come full circle.
You don’t see as many guys
jumping in the car to go drive
when they’ve been drinking."

Some greek organizations are
trying to convey the dangers of
drinking and driving to students
through various programs.

- Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity re-
cently began circulating a video-
tape of “The Bradley Shipman
Story” to raise campus awareness.

The videotape has been shown
every afternoon this week in the
Student Center and in the Com-
plex-Commons. A discussion of

the tape and of alcohol abuse fol-
low cach screening.

Marigail Sexton. substance
abuse prevention coordinator, said
she is pleased with turnout for the
videotape and discussion this
week.

- To help area youth who have
a chemical dependency find out
where they can get help, Alpha
Tau Omega social fraternity re—
cently compiled a directory that

The fraternity got the idea for

Students Against Drunk Driving,

services chairman for the fratcmi-

“It (the demonstration) was

Study says drug testing favored

Associated Press

EAST LANSING, Mich. — A
national survey of college athletes
found that 72 percent believe illegal
drug use in sports is a problem and
n5 percent favor mandatory testing
of all athletes by their schools.

The study, released Monday by
Michigan State University research-
ers, also shows the number of col-
lege athletes using anabolic steroids
increased slightly during the past
four years, but marijuana and co-
caine use dropped.

The number of athletes who
drink alcohol went up slightly and
the use of smokeless tobacco in-
creased by almost 40 percent, from
20 percent in 1985 to 28 percent
this year. according to the study for
the NCAA.

0f the almost 2,300 athletes
surveyed, 5 percent reported using
anabolic steroids, up from 4 percent
in 1985. Most of those who repen-
ed using sterords were mainly foot-
ball players, but also men and
women participating in eight other
sports.

Dr. Douglas McKeag, one of the
Michigan State researchers, said
testing and strong sanctions for vi-
olators would ease a lot of pressure
on athletes.

"The princrpal concern now

among athletes is, ‘How can I stay
up with my competition if l know
my competition is getting an artifi-
cial boost here and there?‘ That’s a
hard question to answer," he said.

McKeag said athletic conferences
and the NCAA are stepping up the
fight against steroids, but some
athletes are willing to risk long-
tenn heart, liver and reproductive
problems for short-term gain.

“When you deal with drugs that
are perceived as helpful in getting
somebody what they are asking, in
other worlds a pro career with lots
of money, you have a lot there that
you’re arguing against," he said.

“Regardless of how severe some
of the side effects might be, you’re
dealing with a young individual
who may be looking at his lifetime

McKeag predicted those numbers
would drop as education programs
took hold, and said he was more
won'ied about the fact that 89 per-
cent of the athletes, up from 88
percent in 1985, regularly drank al-
coholic beverages.

“You take a look at what can oc-
cur to an individual and the number
of people hospitalized now with al-
cohol—related problems, you’re deal-
ing with a significant problem in
our country that is much wider than
any of the other drugs on this par—

ticular list," he said.

William Anderson, associate pro—
fessor of medical education, said he
was impressed with the drop of co-
caine use-from 17 percent in 1985
to 5 percent this year-by athletes
and the decline in marijuana use
from 36 percent to 28 percent.

Anderson said the cause of the
sharp cocaine drop was hard to de—
termine, but might be traced to the
highly publicized deaths of such
athletes as the University of Mary-
land’s Len Bias, and to education
effons.

Anderson said he couldn’t explain
the dramatic increase in the use of
smokeless tobacco especially in
baseball, with 57 percent of male
players and 9 percent of women
softball players doing it.

“This just flies in the face of any
and all efforts at education,” Ander-
son said.

Use of smokeless tobacco has
been linked to cancer of the mouth,
lips, and gums and loss of teeth due
to deterioration of gum tissue.

McKeag and Anderson said they
and their team of researchers had
2,282 athletes at 11 NCAA colleg-
es and universities volunteer to fill
out confidential questionnaires. For
their 1985 study, the number was
2,039. Of those athletes, 1,552
were male and 730 were female.

Freshman Ann Hall paces
Cats to win over Cincinnati

By BRIAN JENT
Executive Editor

The University of Cincinnati
volleyball team was not able to
take advantage of UK’s new
freshman setter Ann Hall last
night and lost 3-1 to the UK in
Memorial Coliseum.

“I think UK was in a very diffi-
cult situation. They were coming
off a big win over Texas and lost
their setter Laura Linder. If there
was a time to upset Kentucky it
was tonight," Cincinnati coach
Darrell Morken said. “We didn’t
play good fundamental volley-
ball. We playcd a very sloppy
match and didn‘t take advantage
of it"

Hall handled the position
well, however. as UK downed
the Bearcats 15-9, 15-13, 10-15,
15-12, but the loss of junior set-
ter Laura Linder to a wrist injury
did cause some problems with the
offense.

“The reason we looked con-
fused was that we had a new set-
ter because we lost Laura Linder
and that puts your timing of
UK coach Kathy DeBoer said.

On the night Hall tallied a ca-
reer-high 53 assists in controlling
the UK offense for the second
time this season.

“Ann is doing a great job, es-
pecially considering that she
didn’t feel very well," DeBoer
said.

The Cats raised their record to
15-5 with the win, while Cincin-
nati’s record dropped to 14-8.

sophomore Stephanie Green
paced the Cats to victory in the
first game. UK scored the first
three points of the contest, but
UC took a 7-5 lead before the
Cats got on track.

After a long spike by UC's
Lisa Misialek, Green had one of
her eight kills in the game to tie
the score at seven. Airhart fol-
lowed with two serving aces to
give the Cats 3 9-7 advantage.
and UK never looked back.

“When we serve well it makes
it harder for the other team," said
Airhart, who had four aces on the
night.

After trailing 13-10, the Cats
came from behind to win the sec-
ond game 15-13.

WW3!!!

UK's Mary Jones goes up for the spike during last night's match
with Cincinnati. The Cats won 15-9, 15-13, 10-15. 15-12.

Green started the second-game
rally with a power spike and then
showed a little finesse with a
well-placed tip between the Bear-
mts’ defense.

Sophomore Cathy DeBuono
and Hall then combined for a
block to tie the score. The Wild-
cats set up game point on a De-
Buono kill and a long spike by
Misialek handed the Cats the
game.

But the Bearcats did not give
up, however, easily winning the

third game 15-10.

After UK jumped out to a 9—5
lead in the fourth game, Cincin-
nati came back to tie the score at
10. UK then won the next three
points, but the Bearcats pulled
back within a point at 13-12.

Following a UK time out, the
Cats won the next two points to
win the match.

UK was led by Green, who had
23 kills. Airhart’s seven kills put
her at the 100-kill plateau for her
career.

VIEWPOINT

New IFC policy
does not solve
alcohol problem

The alcohol policy passed by the Interfratemity Council does
a lot to wash the chapters’ hands of some liability, but it does
nothing to address the problems caused by alcohol abuse.

At a closed-door meeting Monday afternoon, the IFC passed
an alcohol policy that prohibits fraternities from purchasing
alcohol with chapter funds or sewing it at their parties.

The policy, however, does not prohibit guests at parties
from bringing their own booze and beer, provided they are at
least 21 years old.

While the new policy may reduce the amount of liability
fraternities can be held for in alcohol-related accidents, the
policy does little to deal with alcohol responsibility or
education.

The new alcohol policy’s premise seems to be that most of
the problems caused at fraternity parties are because of alcohol.
Therefore, by not serving it, the problems will be reduced. But
banning the demon rum from parties will do little to change
campus attitudes unless there is a joint effort to educate
students and offer social alternatives to drinking.

Having fraternities abstain from serving alcohol at parties
won‘t completely eliminate liability. If someone leaves a
fraternity party drunk and kills someone while driving home,
chances are the fraternity will be sued for negligence, most
legal experts say.

As some IFC members correctly pointed out following
Monday's meeting, the new policy is likely to encourage
people to drink before they come to parties. Fraternity parties
have traditionally been the places where people went for
alcohol. Now many people will have to go off campus for their
liquor and beer, and some fraternity officials fear that may
result in an increased number of alcohol-related traffic
accidents. When someone gets drunk at a fraternity party,
drives home and wrecks into someone on the highway, locking
up a fratemity’s booze probably would not have prevented the
accident.

A serious question raised by the new alcohol policy is how
well all fraternity chapters will abide by the new regulation.
Although IFC would not reveal the vote, several sources said it
passed by a 10-9 margin, with five members abstaining. And
since fraternities historically have resisted central authority, it
will be interesting to see if some chapters begin to practice civil
disobedience at their next parties.

IFC has failed to realize during the last two years of debate
over the alcohol policy that the issue they should be concerned
about is not liability, but the abuse of alcohol.

For whatever reasons, fraternity parties are still viewed by a
majority of the student body as the place to go if you want to
drink or meet someone — and fraternities should work to
change those attitudes. Since most of UK’s social fraternities
are located near the residence halls, it does not take very long
for the music and scent of liquor to draw outsiders.

Consequently, fraternity parties attract many people that
some chapters do not invite. Fraternities have taken measure to
tighten security and make their parties more exclusive during
the past few years, but many of those efforts have led to a
widening of the gap between independents and the greek
community.

In addition, many report that parties still get out of hand and
few rules can reasonably be enforced when all hell breaks

loose.
It is therefore worth asking if the days of the big fraternity

bashes and campus free-for—alls should be a thing of the past.
Unless fraternities can find a realistic way to have parties that
do not breed resentment among independents, control drinking
and keep things from getting out of hand, then fraternities
should seriously look at de-emphasizing the social side and
concentrating more on the community service and academic
aspects.

All IFC members
should defend

beliefs in public

Someone needs to shed some sunlight on UK’s
Intertraternity Council and bring its members out of the
darkness of closed metings. At Monday’s IFC meeting in
which the alcohol policy was the primary topic of discussion,
IFC President Mike Johnson announced that the meeting
would he closed because members would feel more free to
express their opinions without the public knowing what they
believe in. In addition, all IFC members were required to take
an oath of silence, promising not to reveal the outcome of the
VOlt‘.

While having to endure the heat for taking an unpopular or
controversial position on an issue may not be very enjoyable,
those who claim to be student leaders — as IFC’s members do
-— must have the courage to f
