New RHA recycling program begins

 

By Jared Peck
Staff Writer

 

After more than a year of plan-
ning and more than $6,000 in ex-
penditures, the Residence Hall As-

sociation's recycling program
finally has begun.
The RHA notified South Campus

residence hall governments that
their recycling bins could be picked
up Monday for immediate use.
Waste Management, Inc., the
company that hauls the materials to

Lexington Recycling for RHA, de-
livered a pick-up bin for South
Campus Friday.

South Campus residence halls
now are equipped with recycling
bins for white paper and newspaper
in the front lobbies, for plastic
drinking containers and aluminum
cans in student lounges and for
newspaper, plastic and aluminum
inthc basements.

Kirwan and Blanding towers
have all binsontheir top floors.

“We want to make it as conven-

. , ,
militate
ient as possible for students to take
advantage of the recycling program
because they‘re paying for it," said

Tracie Diamond, RHA's recycling
committee director.

 

The program is funded by a $2

fee which was added to each stu-
dent’s semester housing fee this
ear.

Diamond said the money was put
in a special environmental account,
which can only be used for the re-
cycling program.

“If for some reason the recycling
program didn‘t work, then the mon-
ey would be used to implement oth~
er environmental programs in the
residence halls." Diamond said.

Responsible
drinking
non-existent,
panelists say

By Lorl Coleman
Comributing Writer

 

 

There's no such thing as re-
sponsible drinking, said panel-
ists of yesterday's national video
conference on college-aged
drinking.

The trifold conference, broad-
cast from Washington, DC, in-
cluded live comments from pan-
elists, videotaped remarks and
audience questions via a toll-
free telephone line.

Participants at UK could call
in questions and comments from
the Student Center Theater.

David Anderson, associate re-
search professor at George Ma-
son University, served as both
moderator and panelist.

Anderson said some problems
directly related to drinking are
date rape, preventable accidents,
poor health and high dropout
rates.

College students are almost
twice as likely to binge drink at
least once a week as those in the
same age group who are not en-
rolled in some form of higher
education, Anderson said.

November will present
plans for SGA tonight

 

By Joe Braun
Editorial Editor

 

At tonight's Student Government
Association Senate meeting, SGA
President Peter November is ex-
pected to lay out five goals and
concerns for the senate to consider
and follow throughout the course of
the year.

The topics November plans to
coucr include the importance of re-
vising the current SGA constitu-
tion, changing election policies,
consolidating executive branch
committees, improving visibility on
campus and communication be-
tween the senate and him.

November said he and Vice Pres-
ident Lea Ann Davenport agreed on
the list that he will present tonight

He said he will appoint an elec-
tions revision committee that will
be responsible for changing and im-
proving election rules.

“We need to revise the elections.
It’s obvious the elections are pretty
much out of control," he said.

A committee already has been

fomied to rewrite the SGA constitu-
tion.

The group, which has begun
working, consists of Senators at
Large Amy Adams, Heather Hennel
and Kary VanAsdale, and Byl Hen-
sley, Ken Walker, Scott Darneron,
Jay lngle, Chris McKinney and Mat
Arnold.

November said he would like to
see many of the executive branch
committees consolidated.

“It took me a few months of see-
ing how it all works, just kind of
sitting back and seeing how it all
runs, to see where change is need-
ed."

He said that, while SGA still
should represent interest groups,
many of the 42 executive branch
committees already have their
needs met outside SGA.

November said he would like to
see both executive branch members
and senators become more visible
on campus. He will hold a meeting
Thursday in the lobby of Blanding
Tower to find out what students
would like to see from SGA.

Speaker’s aide becomes ninth to plead guilty in BOPFrot

 

Assoclated Press

 

FRANKFORT, Ky. — The for-
mer chief aide to House Speaker
Don Blandford pleaded guilty yes-
terday to lying to federal investiga-
tors, becoming the ninth person to
admit criminal conduct in the BOP-
Trot investigation of government
con'uption.

Buel Guy. who also served a
term as a state representative. could
face up to five years in prison and a
$250,000 fine for the charge. But
prosecutors said that if he cooper-
ates, guidelines could reduce the
sentence to less than a year.

in a related development yester-
day, the trial of Bmce Wilkinsm,
the nephew of former Gov. Wallace
Wilkinson and the only person to

plead innocent to charges brought in
the BOPTrot investigation, was set
for Jan. ll, 1993 in Frankfort

Formal sentencing for Guy was
delayed by US. District Judge 10-
seph Hood indefinitely. Under the
terms of a plea agreement with the
government, Guy must cooperate
with investigators.

The cmx of the charge against
Guy is that he lied to FBI agents on

March 3], 1992 when he was asked
if he had taken money from then-
state Rep. Bill McBec in the spring
of 1990. According to the indict-
ment the money was in connection
with the passage of a bill on regula-
tion of the horse racing industry.

Under questioning by Hood, Guy
admitted he took the money from
McBec. Prosecutors said later it
was about $1,000.

Prosecutors have refused to out-
line the entire scheme, but some
conclusions can be drawn from in-
formation contained in previous in-
dictments and the charges lodged
againstGuy.

McBec was a veteran Democratic
representative from Boone County
and Blandford ally who was chair-

UK officials:
Reaccrediting
of University
looks probable

By Brlan Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

 

 

UK's bid for reaffirmation of its
accreditation looks safe after a
team visiting campus came away
with many positive things to say
about the University, administra-
tors said.

A fab-member team from the
Southern Association for Colleges
and Schools toured campus for
four days and examined UK's Self—
Study last week.

After the team delivered a pre-
liminary oral repon, UK officials
said they felt good about their
chances for rcaccreditation, said
Loys Mather, director of University
Self-Study.

“Most people feel quite upbeat
about it because they seemed qurte
positive in the things they had to
say," Mather said. “On the whole,
they seemed quite complimentary."

SACS reviews schools for ac-
creditation every ten years.

A school must meet standards set
by SACS regarding certain aspects
of the school, like academic pro-
grams, faculty credentials and stu-
dent life.

Without accreditation, schools
would not be able to receive feder—
al grants and students' credit hours
would not transfer.

The University began the reaffir-
mation process by commissioning
a self-study.

The study focused on the entire
University system, reporting its
strengths and weaknesses.

The SACS team is expected to
file its formal, written report soon
and will send it to UK within three
to four weeks, Mather said.

The report will contain commen-
dations on what UK is doing right
suggestions for improvement and
recommendations for change in
some areas.

After that, UK officials will have
a few weeks to respond to the rec-
ommcndations and explain how
they plan to address the issues
pointed out by the formal report.

All the reports will be sent to the
SACS Reaffinnation Committee,
which will report to the overall as-
sociation. SACS will make its deci~
sion on UK’s reaffinnation in De-
cember.

“Casablanca”

Stamng Humphrey Bogan and
Ingrid Bergman

MGM Pictures

 

By Kenn Minter
Statt Critic

 

n

I had never seen “Casablanca
on television. I would always
pass it up. even if I knew it was
on. I finally saw “Casablanca” on
the big screen a few days ago.
Wow, I thought to myself. this is
what m0vies are all about. Real
movies for real people.

As the camera swept across the
crowds. I couldn't help but feel
drawn in. The lighting was so dra-

Here’s looking at ‘Casablanca’

matic. giving everything a sense
of unnatural volume. The contrast
between black and white and all
the degrees in between appeared
so rich. I had to wonder just how
intricately chosen the extras were
in “Casablanca." Each face
seemed to tell its own story. Eve-
ryone had character.

Speaking of characters, Rick
(Humphrey Began). the main
character, is the owner of Rick's
Cafe Americain. a melting pot of
refugees. a place where they can
drink. gamble, trade secrets and
try to forget their plights.

Rick is a man's man. He is a
man scorned by life and love. He
wears it on his face; you can see
it in his eyes. He smokes cigar-

ette after cigarette. He gulps drink
after drink to faget.

One person he’d like to forget
is Miss Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman),
who has the kind of eyes that are
fun, honest and wet. At one time,
Ilsa and Rick shared the ldnd of
love that only something like
World War II could break up.

Rick says, in one of the classic
lines in movie history, “Of all the
gin joints in all the towns in all
the world, she had to walk into
mine."

“Casablanca." is what going to
the movies is all about —— or at
least should be.

"Casablanca," is showing until
Thursday at the Kentucky Thea-
ire.

If the Lady Kats tennis team's
fifth-place finish in the Southeast-
ern Conference and No. 19 national
ranking in the past season is any in-
dication of the potential for success
this year. the team could go far.

How far? UK coach John Din-
neen said he thinks a Top 10 finish
is feasible. The Lady Kats begin
the year ranked 17th in the nation,
so they are not far off Dinneen‘s
goal.
"This is the strongest team we‘ve
put together since I've been here,"
Dineen said.

As the 1992-93 team begins its
fall season tomonow at the Nation-
al Clay Court Championships in
Richmond. Va.. Dinneen has high
expectations.

“We have everyone back from
our NCAA tournament appearance
last year, plus the addition of two
significant freshmen players." he
said. “I have high expectations for
this group."

Though last year’s team finished
14-12, Dinneen said its record may
be deceiving.

“Our record was misleading,"
Dinneen said. “We made the
NCAA Championships, so all 12
losses were what are called quality
losses. and all 12 losses were
against teams ranked in the Top
25.”

Some of the team’s big wins last
season came against tennis powers
like Brigham Young. Wake Forest.
Mississippi, Notre Dame and, in

 

Klingenberg leads tennis team
as National Clay Courts begin

of the season. Southern Cal in Los
Angeles.

This year’s squad will be led by
All-American senior Susan Klin-
genberg. Klingenbcrg, who was
also an All-SEC selection, com-
piled a 27-12 singles record last
year playing in the No. 1 position
for UK against some of the top
players in the country.

Last season. she was ranked in
the Top 10 most of the year and fin-
ished ranked 12th. This year she be-
gins as the No. 6 player in the coun-
try.

At one point in March, Klingen-
berg rang up 12 consecutive victo-
ries and was runner up for NCAA
player of the month. Klingenberg
said that during her streak she
“gained a lot of confidence, and I
went into the matches knowing I
would win.”

Dinneen has added freshmen
Sheri Bash and Kirsten Burrows to
returnees Klingenberg, Bethany Av-
ington, Susan Bani. Marina Sansos-
tri. Lora Suttile, Nichole Wangs—
gard and Chris Yan'o.

“Bash is one of the most talented
newcomers in the country,” Din-
neen said. “Our freshmen will
play."

Dinneen hasn't picked his lineup
yet but said: “Were going to count
on everyone. Klingenberg is the
only one who has a position secure.
As for two through nine. that's for

& WRFL Present

the players to battle out. then 1’11
make my mind up."

Dinneen stressed his team's
depth, saying Klingenberg is no
more important than any other
player on the team.

“She's our best player. but her
points count just as much as our
No. 6 player's points, a far as I’m
concerned.” he said.

UK's No. 1 doubles team. Aving-
ton and Klingenberg, was put to-
gether in mid-season and compiled
an 8-2 record last season. Going
into this season. the duo is ranked
fifth in the country. In their win
over Pepperdine. they found them-
selves playing together for the first
time ever. Avington said: “It was
easy. We complemented each oth-
er’s game."

This weekend only Klingenberg,
Avington. Suttile and Wangsgard
will travel to Richmond. The Kats
not attending will be playing in oth-
er tournaments.

Dinneen sees no urgency in send-
ing all his players to every touma-
ment because they have no impact
on team rankings, and the fall sea-
son is strictly individual touma-
mean.

“The fall season is geared toward
developing and getting the team
ready for the spring season. Eventu-
ally. everyone competes, but we
play it week by week," he said.

Mr. ‘Squeaky Clean’
to run sports program
for four more years

 

EDITORIAL

Last week the UK Board of Trustees extended Director of Athlet-
ics C.M. Newton's contract through 1996.

He became UK‘s athletics director in the midst of an NCAA in-
vestigation into the men‘s basketball program.

Since that time. Newton’s “squeaky clean” image has been one of
the key factors in helping to clean up and legitimize the reputation
of UK‘s athletics program.

Under his leadership. UK has hired football coach Bill Curry and
basketball coach Rick Pitino and improved the University’s base-
ball facilities.

He also has made significant strides in showing that athletics is a
part of UK. not a separate fiefdom. For instance. Newton forced the
athletics program to go through the budget cutting process along
with the rest of the University. In that time, he not only has held to-

gether existing programs, but also has added two new varsity sports
— men's and women‘s soccer.

Throughout his tenure. he has reiterated his pledge to continue
"keeping the student-athlete at the heart of the program.”

While Newton has said he supports recruiting academically capa-
ble students. the recruitment of basketball player Rodney Dent
gives reason to remind Newton that, although he must — as he says
— trust his coaches, in marginal cases he also must verify. If Dent
fails, it could tarnish Newton’s “squeaky clean" image.

In four years, Newton has turned the UK athletics program
around 180 degrees. That accomplishment certainly is worthy of
four more years. However, we hope Newton realizes that the work
of keeping the UK athletics program on the straight and narrow path
is never finished.

SAB gets steamrolled
by athletics department
with changing of game
EDITORIAL

The Student Activities Board has put a lot of work into planning an ex-
travagant Parents‘ Weekend.

 

The members of the Parents' Weekend committee have planned a bar-
rage of concerts, performances and events that are timed strategically and
coordinated to make the weekend run smoothly.

Only one thing could interfere their meticulous plans — changing the
time of the UK football game. And it happened — without their even being
informed.

While UK is at the mercy of the media to get television coverage for its
games, the Athletics Department should make an effort to inform SAB of
changes as soon as possible so activities can be arranged.

SAB Parents' Weekend chairman Chris Arlinghaus said SAB was in-
formed about the change “through the grapevine."

The Athletics Department needs to remember that changing a football
game has large repercussions, especially on Parents’ Weekend.

More activities take place at UK on weekends titan just football games.
The least athletics officials can do is let the people who changes will affect
most know that the changes occurred.

JERRY VOOGTISM Nth!

Let your voices be heard in election

OK, here it is.

You've been waiting, right?
You’ve been wondering for the ma-
jority of your formative teen-age
years and. perhaps — for those of
you who haven’t quite found the
courage to become a decisive indi-
vidual and graduate — your 20s,
when this was going to happen.

Curious? I‘ll tell you. One of the
political parties has realized its mis-
takes and is making amends. One of
the two aesthetically influential po-
litical parties in the United States is
reaching out to a new group of peo-
ple, a demographic category, if you
will.

You’ve no doubt seen the cam-
paign on MTV and in Rolling Stone
magazine called “Rock the Vote."
This is a campaign that reaches out
to that forgotten demograpmc cate-
gory. the 18- to 25-year-old set. I
couldn’t be more thrilled. It’s about
time.

Frankly, I've been slightly disap-
pointed in past elections about how
candidates go visit coal mines and
factories, businesses and business
people — and don't visit college
campuses. They don‘t even try to
get our attention.

I admit, if I were a candidate for a
national office, I would be a mite
scared of college students, too. We
can be vicious.

Might I just throw in, right here,
how upset I am that democratic vice
presidential candidate Al Gore
didn't even bother to set foot on the
UK campus when he was in Lexing-
ton Sept. 10? His presence would
have been appreciated greatly by
some.

Kentucky is going to change the
way 18- to 35-year-old voters par-
ticipate. (You’ll notice I used the
word voter. Everyone aged 18 and
up should be a voter.) The Demo-
cratic Party has hired a magnani-
mous and industrious young lad to
be the youth coordinator for Ken-
tucky. Specifically, Sen. Wen-
dell Ford’s reoelection campaign

has hired this tremendous young
man to reach out to the 1840-35 set
in Kentucky. His name is Mike
Johnson, and you can contact him
if you're feeling a sudden urge to
do something about getting some-
one new in the White House. (Hint.
hint.)

Democratic headquarters has or-
ganized a great big rally to be held
in Frankfort on Sept. 26 -— with
some big names speaking on behalf
of themselves and the Democratic
Party.

They‘re even trying to get with
the "Rock the Vote” campaign and
get some local Kentucky bands to
endorse registering to vote. That's
the really important pan of this
whole thing. This rally demon-
strates that “they," the system and
whatnot. are becoming more will-
ing to listen to us. They’ve found a
goldmine in the l8-to-35 voting
pool.

So many people our age don’t
vote. Sure, there‘s some apathy to-
ward the system that comes out
when you begin to absorb new ide-
as in college. People need an incen-
tive to vote.

How's this? There aren't going
to be any jobs for you when you
graduate because the economy is
in sorry shape. If you don't vote in
November, we don't want to hear
you complain. I feel like Dennis
Leary now.

It's been since John Kennedy
that there was a national ticket this
attuned to the 1840-35 set. We
didn't get to experience John Ken-
nedy. and this is the closest we're
going to get.

Let‘s try something subliminal. I
vote we take advantage of what the
system is doing for us. We should
rally around this chance to better
