Jokes
for the
students

A student comes to a
young professor's
office hours. She
glances down the
hall, closes his door
and kneels
pleadingly. “i would
do anything to pass
this exam." She leans
closer to him. flips
back her hair, and
gazes meaningfully
into his eyes. “I
mean," she whispers.
"I would do anything

He returns her gaze,
“Anything?"

"Anything."

His voice softens.
“Anything?"

"Anything," she repeats
again.

His voice turns to a
whisper. “Would you
study?"

Tommy had reached
school age. His
mother managed with
a blast of propaganda
to make him
enthusiastic about
the idea. She bought
him lots of new
clothes, told him of
the new friends he'd
meet and so on. The
first day, he eagerly
went off and came
back home with a lot
of glowing reports
about school. The
next morning when
she woke him up. he
asked "What for?"
She told him it was
time to get ready for
school. "What,
again?" he asked.

A letter
from school:

Dear Dad,

School is really great. 1
am making lotS of
friendS and Studying
hard. With all my
Stuff, 1 Simply can't
think of anything I
need, So if you like,
you can juSt Send me
a card. aS I would
love to hear from
you.

Love,
Your Son

A week
later
a letter
from ‘home'

Dear Son,

1 kNOw that astroNOmy,
ecoNOmics and
oceaNOgraghy are
eNOugh to keep even
an hoNDr student
busy. Do Not forget
that the pursuit of
kNOwledge is a NODle
task and you can
never study eNOugh.

Love,
Dad

State hesitates in donation

By Amanda York
ASSISTANT utws EDITOR

Renovations for Rupp Arena
arid the Civic (‘eitter could slow be-
cause of difficulties in receiving
funding front the state. Lexington
Mayor Pant Miller said yesterday.

Miller said the state might be re-
luctant to provide the $30 iiiiliiott re
quested because of the uncertainty
surrounding the 17K basketball
team's future at Rupp Arena. The
state. she said. is “going to want to
see some letter of intent." Miller
said.

“We've tnade it clear to them
that we'd like the university to make
a long-term commitment (to playing
in Ruppl." she said.

(1M. Newton. athletic director at

 

UK. said he doesn‘t see lfK's involve-
ment with Rupp Arena affecting
plans for the renovation.

“i can't imagine that." Newton
said. "Either they are going to get
their $311 iniliion for the convention
center or not."

Newton said the athletic depart-
ment supports the renovations and
will continue to play at Rtipp urttil
fttrtiter decisions have been tnade.

”We are very supportive of what
they are trying to do and we are very
supportive of their plans to renovate
Rupp. bttt it isittst too early to make
any definite commitments." Newton
said.

Newton said Mayor Miller plans
to ask the state for $30 million and
that this money would be used en-
tirely for renovations to the (‘ivic
Center.

h Stut esp at the Uneivrt

“The mayor wants $45 million
for the project. $311 million for the
convention center aitd $15 tniiiion
for the Rtipp renovation.“ Newton
said.

Newton said that once the de»
parttrtettt determines the renova-
tions $15 million will buy. they will
negotiate another lease.

“Once that is determined then
we will go from there and see. what
kind of renovations you can get for
$i5 million." Newton said.

Newton said l'K has a lease for
five more years with Rupp Arena
and that the university would honor
that.

“Depending on what happens
with the renovation of Rupp." New»
ton said. “we will see about extend-
ing it (the lease)."

cans liying in Kontucky.

“Part of my job as an
.~\l‘fril:ichian poet is to lot
pooplo know that we are
horo." Walker said.

()no of tho only frus-
trations Walker has as a
poet is trying to got down
tho idoas running around
in his hoad. and hope that
thoy don‘t come whilo ho
is heading down [iii in
Louisville whoro ho cur-
rontly works as director
for tho (loyel‘noi’s School
for tho Arts.

“l gayo up trying to
write and driyo at tho
samo timo." Walker jokod.

Most of Walker‘s poot-
ry comes to him as tho r...
stilt of an emotional ro-
sponso to an outside stim-
ulus. whether it is happy.

ing. ho said.

"\i hon l writo. I try to

tako a picturo." Walk

or said.

\Valkor said that for

many writors. it is

sai‘ost to wrlto ahout
what they know. so ho has
mado many “picturos" oi"
numhors of his family
momhors.

Whon Walkor was
growing up. though his
family didn‘t l‘oall\ one
courago his artistic tal-
onts. While ho loyod writ-
ing. whonoyor ho brought
it up as a caroor option. ho
said that oyoryono told
him that ho would staryo.

’art oftho roason why
his writing impulso was
so foreign to his family
was tho lack of a siitgio
writer or artist of color in
hometown llany illo,

Sillco ho was a good
student oyoi'all. \Valkor
was oncouragod to pursui-
a "roalisiic" jllll. So Iio on
iorod I‘K as ati ongiiioor-
ing major. hut soon his
plans changed.

Walker loft school the
following year. thon roe

ism major. thon studio art.
and finally I‘lnglish. it was
in Norman‘s croatiyo in. I‘ll
iiig class that ho hogan to
gain confidonco as a

Whilo Walkor is com
ing to l'lx' today to road
somo of his pooins in front
oi‘an audioiico. ho is aciii
ally a rathor shy porson
hy naturo. Yot for Walkor
pootry is a therapy of
sorts. proy tiling an oppor
tiinity to oyorcomo his
shyness,

“If I‘m at tho micro
phone. and I'm supposed
to ho roadiiig. thon l hayo
to road.“ ho said

in a way. this roading
will ho a homocoming of
sorts for Walker,

"I'm coming back to
