By LISA (‘Rtil’CHER
Staff Writer

Jim Mullen is a Vietnam veteran
who wants to be recognized for his
service to his country.

Mullen. president of the Lexington
chapter of Vietnam Veterans of
America. has spent the past month
organizing a recognition weekend
and benefit concert for Kentucky‘s
Vietnam veterans.

“The Commonwealth of Kentucky
has never done anything to recog-
nize its Vietnam veterans." Mullen
said.

Four weeks ago. Mullen decided
that recognition of Kentucky‘s
117.000 vets was long overdue. So
this weekend at Masterson Station
Park. after a hectic month of spon-
taneous planning. Kentucky's vets
will be honored for their service to
their country.

The events include musical enter-
tainment. comedy. guest speakers
and nonalcoholic refreshments. The
recognition weekend starts at 3 pm.
on Saturday with former Kentucky
Gov. A.B. “Happy“ Chandler sing—

 

“They gave me a 48-hour period of time to
come up with a $10 million policy, knowing full
well that I could not find an insurance company
that would write a $10 million policy.”

Jim Mullen,
event coordinator

ing “My Old Ketucky Home." Satur-
day‘s last band will play at 10 pm.

On Sunday the events will kick off
at 9am. and continue until 11 pm.

Among the scheduled performers

Breeding and the Bunch, the Tren»
dells and Quadra. Comedy on Broad-
way has lined up the comedians for
the weekend. Among the guest

Speaker says America
in spiritual awakening

By cums sx APP
Contributing Writer

The Rev. Bruce Nieli. the first
speaker in the Newman Center‘s
1987-88 Distinguished Speaker Pro-
gram. said Tuesday night that
America is “on the eve of a new spi-
ritual awakening."

He focused his lecture on two
trends evident from data collected
by polling expert George Gallup.

Nieli said Americans have devel-
oped "a renewed search for depth in
our spiritual lives and an interest in
deeper personal relationships.“

Americans are a people struggling
for a sense of belonging. and the
church can fulfill that need, he said.

The “new awakening" will pull us
together as a people. Nieli said.

People are realizing the need to
seek guidance from a spiritual con-
tact. In addition. everyone has a
mystical need for unity in their lives
and many people will turn to the
church because it can provide both.
Nieli said.

However. a member of the audi-
ence said the importance of the indi-
vidual in the Church isn‘t recog-
nized.

“The Catholic church under-
emphasizes the role of individuals in
spirituality.“ said Jim Ford. a mem-
ber of the audience. “It is true that
a person can find strength and hope
within the church. but complete hap—
piness is impossible without having
knowledge of one‘s self. and I think
the church does not stress that indi-
vidual happiness enough. “

According to Nieli. religion affects

 

“Catholicism is
beautiful because we
accept everybody. You
name it, we got it. We
have Lech Walesa and
Boy George. We have
Mother Teresa of
Calcutta and we have

Madonna. ”
The Rev. Bruce Nieli

everything — our vocabulary. our
way of thinking. even the American
dream.

“All of the movements for social
betterment were born because of the
mystical. the spiritual. the religious
impulse."hesaid.

Nieli said that the first person to
predict America in the 150th was an-
other saint. “St. Thomas Moore
wrote about it in a book called
Utopia. He said in that book that
such a land of liberty and justice for
all. with a six~hour working day. of
freedom to think and reflect would
be found indeed in the newly discov-
ered lands of the new world."

Nieli said he felt Catholics were no
better or no worse than any other
religion. but “Catholicism is beauti~
ful because we accept everybody.
You name it. we got it. We have
Lech Walesa and Boy George. We

shot down in Vietnam and has been
held prisonor for 22 years.

US. officials have informed Shel-
ton that her husband is alive in
Laos. She said that people have seen
pictures of her husband in captivity
with his head bandaged. She also
said that there is documented proof
of other prisoners in Vietnam.

Shelton has traveled all over the
country trying to generate public
awareness of the situation in Viet-
nam.

“We should educate the American
public.“ Shelton said. "We got them
home that way before. and we can
do it again."

THE REV. BRUCE NIELI

have Mother Teresa of Calcutta and
we have Madonna . "

During the question and answer
session after the speech. Nieli re-
sponded to a question about women
and the priesthood.

"Catholic priests are indeed a
dwindling breed. 1 can't really say
what direction the church will take
(regarding women in the pries-
thood). only to say that I believe
God will provide us with an an-
swer.“ Nieli said.

Asked to interpret his present po-
sition as director of the Office of
Evangelization. Diocese of Austin.
Nieli said. “We help people fall in
love with Christ, that‘s what the
term evangelization means."

Nieli was ordained a Catholic
priest in the Paulist Fathers Com-
munity in New York City in ltfls. He
holds a Masters Degree in Pastoral
Counseling from lona (‘ollege in
New Rochelle. NY

She plans to speak to the crowd on
the importance of prayer and to ex-
plain that Americans should inform
their congrsssmen that the POW.
issue should take precedence over
all others in the next election.

The recognition weekend almost
didn‘t come about.

The biggest obstacle was when the
risk management division of the
parks and recreation department in-
formed him Sept. 23 that he had to
come up with a $10 million insur-
ance policy by Sept. 25.

"They gave me a 48-hour period of
time to come up with a $10 million
policy. knowing full well that I could
not find an insurance company that
would write a $10 million policy."
Mullen said. “Knowing full well that
if I was lucky enough to find a com-
pany that would do it. they would
not do it in a 48-hour period of time.

“And also knowing full well that if
I was lucky enough to accomplish
the first two tasks. that there was no
way I could come up with 3150.000 in
48 hours to pay for the premium."
he said.

James Seymour. the risk analyst

for the risk management division.
said that the figures were based on
the number of people they are ex-
peeling at the event.

“If you evaluate the risk exposure
on 100.000 people. it's substantial."
Seymour said.

After Mullen went to the Lexing-
ton Herald-Leader with his plea for
fairness. Lexington Mayor Scotty
Baesler decreased the required in-
surance policy to $5 million

Although Mullen said that a $5
million policy is still extremely high.
he finally found a company to sup-
port them.

Proceeds from the event will go
toward a half-way house for lasting-
ton vets. an emergency food bank. a
statewide education program. and
funding for the State Vietnam Vctcr-
an‘s Memorial in Frankfort.

Masterson Station Park is located
on Leestown Road near the Federal
Correctional Institute

money for education and tourism
promotion. sonic highway inr

The General Assembly also should
play more of a role. with creation of

The report by the Kentucky l-Zco

The report calls for spending at

funds or by creation of a tax that
would be passed along to consumers
by businesses that cater to tourists

Baesler said the difficulty of such
a tax is determining who should pay

and motels and car rental agencies
as possibilities

The proceeds would have to be

said "()therwisc. we'rc just giving

The commission. knowing budgets
are tight. thought it important to
have n i‘ccommcndation for the leg

money. Baeslcr said

“I'm not so naive as to think this
is an easy thing lt's not an t'tlS)

The report also calls for “lull sup

UK assistant basketball coach
Dwayne Casey yesterday described
how basketball prepares players for

Casey was the featured speaker in
a noncredit class offered by the Do-

the Council on Aging.

“UK basketball players are the

some players don't score well on

Viewpoint

North side being discriminated against

My freshman year I lived on the
south side of campus. People there
were fairly friendly and the general
atmosphere was OK, but I quickly
learned that north campis was the
place to be. Facilities were not nec-
essarily equal to those on the south
side. but they were comparable.
More importantly, it was a more
closely knit community on the north
side.

Last year l was fortunate and got
into Keeneland Hall which is lo—
cated on the north side of campus. I!
was still a close community and still
had its facilities. However, late in
the fall semester things began to
change.

This year we were really hit b\ a

turned to campus. More parking me—
ters had mysteriously appeared on
South Limestone Street. Our tennis
courts are completely gone. Our
good cafeteria is gone and we‘re left
with a greedy. purely profitoriented
excuse for a cafeteria in its place.

()K, enough gripes. Let‘s stop and
count our blessings, north campus.

1. We have the Memorial coliseum
pool, which is open at a time when
many students are still in class. By

the way. south campus is getting a
new pool. Howodd!

2. We have one student parking
lot. much of which is occupied by
commuters.

3. We have a larger impound lot
instead of tennis courts. We‘re all
grateful for a place to store our cars
because we didn‘t want to carry our
weekend luggage all the way across
campis. Didn't south campus get a
new tennis facility just last year?

4. We have dusty Alumni gym in a
state of ill-kept disrepair.

5. We have a so-called conve-
nience store with prices that are so
high it’s cheaper to drive to Krog-
ers. Unfortunately many students
don’t have access to a car.

6. We have an expensive cafeteria.

by Berke Breathed

7. We have higher tuition pay-
ments and fewer reasons to pay it.

8. Oh, yes, north campus, let's not
forget the wonderful opportunity we
have to keep in shape as we walk
south to Donovan Hall to feed our
growing stomachs.

It‘s time this University got out of
its present “to hell with students“
attitude. Maybe UK should spend
more time listening to its students
and less time making up weak ex-
cuses. We pay an awful lot of money
for the little we get.

And UK wants to raise tuition
again? HA!

The Soapbox

The UK Alcohol Policy Committee hasn't released its policy recom-
mendation yet, but when they do. members of the Greek community
couldcomeupdry.

The argument was made by members of the greek community
many times on the Viewpoint page last year that fraternities should be
allowed to serve alcohol at parties in their homes.

However, UK owns the property most of the fraternities houses are
located on. Whether UK has the right to say “no alcohol" is still in
question.

And if the alcohol policy committee were to allow alcohol in the
frats, is it fair to the students in the residence halls?

This is your opportunity to reply.

Sparse crowd doesn’t hamper

tumbleweed rock

By nos SENG
Staff Critic

The Beat Farmers rocked and
rolled like tumbleweed into the
Student Center Grand Ballroom last
night with a rollicking musical
harvest witnessed by a sparse
crowd.

The concert began in foot-
stomping fashion with “Ridin ‘." a
tune off their new album, The
Pursuit of Happiness. Guitarist Joey
Harris referred to the bison on the
album cover as Country Dick
Montana (the imposing figure
behind the drum kit) in a buffalo
outfit. Guitarists Harris and Jerry
Raney waged a guitar skirmish
during “Big. Big Man." also off the
new album. which was followed by a
rousing cover of the Velvet
Underground's “There She Goes
Again.“

Country Dick
then swaggered
to the front of the
stage to lead the
crowd in a
version of Kenny
Rogers‘
“Lucille" that was more vehement
in its insults of the “two-timing
bitch. " The crowd then joined in a
sing-along with Dick in “Happy
Boy.“ in which he mourns the loss of
his dog. who is now a road mat. The
song was performed as on the album
with kazoos and Raney gargling into
3 mike.

The band showed its musical
diversity by covering tunes ranging
from Tom Waits' “Rosie“ to The
Kinks' "20th Century Man" to
Springsteen's “Reason To Believe.“

Harris introduced “Texas“ as
“another redneck song" where-
“you‘re bound to hear it anyhow,
about the boys that love those cows“
and where “you can find a girl
anyday. but all the pretty ones have
moved away

Despite UK‘s alcohol policy.
Country Dick sat on the edge of the
stage and drank a beer out of his hat
and commented that he‘d “been on
many a dry campus before. but this
is the first time I could get
arrested.“

Another side of the band surfaced
when Raney advised the preachers
that were on campus yesterday that
“there‘s a lot of hungry people out

The band released a critically ac-

The first impression of the band is
that they are a hardcore band. but

Kubinski‘s screeching vocals sound
like a cross between Joe Eliot (of
Def Leppardi and Bon Scott. The
guitar riffs come soaring out of the
rhythm section. which somehow
manages to keep up with the frantic
pace. The band even employs an
