on cross-cultural journey

By JOE BRAUN
Contributing Writer

Yesterday four UK students left
for the Soviet Union where they
Will be able to see history unfold as
a pan of their academic career.

The trip is pan of an American-
Russian exchange program that will
bring four Russian students to UK
this aftemoon.

The four UK students who went
to Russia are Kevin Long, Tom Py~
zik. Greg Jones and Lori Gregory.
The trip was scheduled to begin
nearly a month ago but was post-
poned because of the attempted
coup in that country.

The four students will study at the
Vladimir Polytechnic Institute. lo—
cated about three hours cast of Mos-
cow. They will study a basic sched-
ule of Russian classes and each also
will pursue an independent area of
study.

Py/ik, a Russian history senior
from Versailles, Ky, looks forward
to witnessing changes occurring in
the Sov1et t'nion

“It will be rough for the people
there." PyZik said. “They are trying
to build everything that took us 200
years in just a few years."

One of the travelers, Kevin Long,
a Russian anti political science sen—
ior. said the timing for the trip is
perfect.

“This is the best time we could
go, We‘ll be able to see Russia
change from what it was to what it's
going to be.“

Greg Jones. a graduate student
studying intemauonnl relations at
the Patterson School of Diplomacy.
is excited about the many opponu~
nities the trip will afford him.

“l’m interested in seeing how it
looks from the inside." Jones said.
“i think it's going to look a lot
worse in some ways and better in
others. l‘ll be able to talk to people
vs, seeing Gorbachev on televi-
Sl0n “

Jones said the city where they
will be living is about the same size
as lexmgton. He plans to study the
Russians' technical and research ca-
pabilities while he is there

“l was surprised and

heard about the coup
because my career is

trip."

Greg Jones,

UK student

When the students heard about
the coup in August, they were upset
because they knew it would affect
their trip.

“I was surprised and then devas-
tated when l heard about the coup
because my career is closely linked
with the trip." Jones said.

Pyzik said he could see the coup
approaching.

“1 could see it coming and noth-
ing can compare to it." he said. “I
don‘t know what to expect when I
get there, but it will be incredible to
see history in the making."

Ken Wheeler. a freshman from
Lesington, visited the Seviet Union
last June and retumed home right
before the coup attempt.

“Everyone that I talked to there
hates Gorbachev," Wheeler said.
“There is very little food on the
shelves because of Gorbachev‘s re—
forms and inﬂation there is enor-
mous.”

The Russian students that arrive
today will attend UK for the fall se-
mester and will live in Jewell Hall.
the newly designated international
residence hall on campus Room
and board for the visiting students
will be paid for by illt‘ students how
in Russia. and the L'K group will
not have to pay for their living ex-
penses in return. PyIik said. While
at L'K, the Russian students will
study English composition, Ameri-
can history and computer seience.

Four other UK students Will be
sent to Russia. through the same
program. during the spring semes-
ter.

a Grammy for her third Rounder
record, I 've Got That Old F eeltng.

Her first video. the title song of
her third album went No. 1 national-
ly on Country Music Television.

With an arm load of awards, in-
cluding lntemational Bluegrass Mu-
sic Association‘s vocalist of the
year, and appearances on 23 differ-
ent albums — the veteran youth has
hit the road with the best of blue-
grass: Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley,
Ricky Skaggs and Tony Rice.

From the opening slanra of “I‘ve
Got That Old Feeling," when Jeff
White's Martin guitar and Jerry
Douglass‘ dobro come strolling in
arm-in-arm, you get that feeling -
you know you‘ve found something.

Then when Krauss' piercing lead
vocal and Dave Pomeroy's upright
bass join the procession, you’re cer-
tain that for once you didn‘t blow
$10 on the disappointing. uncharted
waters of a new artist.

Driven by Douglass’ dobro and
former New Grass Revival member
Sam Bush’s mandolin, little more
than two minutes of “Dark Skies"
are here and gone, albeit with some

mind-boggling instrument breaks.

the storm front slowly engulﬁng the
recording.

“I Wish I Still Had You" marks
the turning point of the album.

should be affixed: This ballad not

Alison Brown’s cracking banjo
opens side two of the record with
“Will You Be Leaving" like Carl
Lewis out of the starting blocks (or
like Earl Scruggs at 78 rpm).

Another song wonh noting is
“Steel Rails," Krauss’ second video
release. This is Appalachia's equiv-
alent of "Born To Be Wild.” With
Douglass' dobro providing smooth
transportation, Union Station hops
an empty boxcar with no thought of
destination. This tune evokes strong
feelings for getting up, gassing up,
hitting the highway and making the
white lines blur.

The strength of this album, as
well as the band's live performanc-
cs, is that Krauss can take a deep

breath and send the band into an ab-
solute frenzy of fast-picking, dou-
ble-time banjo tunes.

After seemingly draining every
ounce of soul into a heart-wrenching
ballad, Krauss’ energy endures with-
out losing the clarity and resonance
of her voice. In fact, some of the na-
tion’s top news and entertainment
publications are showering her with
praise by comparing her soulful
voice to a young Dolly Parton.

It truly is a transcending album, in
that it picks up where the ground-
breaking bluegrass group, New
Grass Revival left off.

Krauss, like New Grass vocalist
John Cowan, makes people pause
and think that perhaps a clothes»

pinned nose is not a prerequisite to
Bluegrass singing 101. Krauss sings
with a frailty and a tone of sincerity
that enables her music to seep under
the door — and through the cracks
of music barriers.

An endearing quality of Krauss‘
is her almost painful modesty on
stage. At Cincinnati’s spring Appa-
lachian Fest '91 at Coney Island,
Stcl‘fey noted her Grammy Award-
winning song.

Krauss, too young to set foot into
a nightclub, gently folded her bow
and ﬁddle. She rested them on her
ankle-length skin. hcr eyelashes
batting downward following pat-
terns on the wooden stage, while
her cheeks cast a cherry glow over
(‘incy for days.

Documents reveal conviction was bogus

Aseoclated Press

HATTIESBURG, Miss. — A
prosecutor says once-secret records
show a black man who tried to en-
roll at a white college in the 19508
likely was sent to prison wrongly.

A newspaper story Monday about
state Sovereignty Commission docu-
ments confirms that Clyde Kennard,
who died of cancer in 1963, was
framed on a charge of illegal posses-
sion of whiskey in 1959, Forrest
County District Attorney Glenn
White said.

White said he'll examine whether
Kennard‘s convictions should be
overtumed. “The documents tend to
substantiate what we‘ve uncovered
— that he was not guilty of the pos-
session of alcohol," he said.

The now-defunct Sovereignty
Commission was a state-funded spy
agency created by the 1956 Legisla-
ture to thwart integration.

The documents, made public by
the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. indicat-
ed whiskey may have been planted
in Kennard's car in the fall of 1959

“The documents tend to substantiate what we've
uncovered — that he was not guilty of the

possession of alcohol."

Glenn White

Forrest County District Attorney

to keep him from being the first
black at Mississippi Southern Col-
lege in Hattieaburg. now the Uni—
versity of Southern Mississippi.

The ﬁrst black student at South-
em was enrolled in 1966.

The Sovereignty Commission
records show the plot to keep Ken-
nard out of the school began in
1958 and once included plans to kill
him with a car bomb.

“There is no doubt about the sus-
picion he was framed." said Erle
Johnston, director of the Sovereign-
ty Commission in 1963-68.

The 1977 Legislature sealed the
commission‘s documents until
2027, saying the information could
damage reputations. but The Clari-
on-Ledger obtained copies of me-

mos and letters on Kennard.

Kennard, 32, a poultry farmer.
was arrested by Forrest County con-
stables Sept. 15. 1959. after being
rejected by Southern. He had also
tried unsuccessfully in 1956 and
1958 to enroll.

The constables claimed they
found illegal liquor under the front
seat of Kennard‘s car. Relatives said
Kennard never smoked or drank.

Kennard also was booked on a
reckless driving charge. even though
his car had been parked for half an

hour.

He was convicted and ﬁned 5600.

He was later booked on an acces-
sory to burglary charge when a con-
fessed thief claimed Kennard paid
him to steal chicken feed. Kennard
was sentenced to the maximum sev-
en years in prison on Nov. 21, 1960.
The confessed thief got a suspended
sentence.

White said Monday that while it
seems obvious Kennard was not
guilty of illegal possession of whis-
key, he had not been able to dis»
credit the burglary charge.

Kennard‘s physician, Dr. Glen
Pearson of Hattiesburg, asked
White last spring to consider clear-
ing Kennard's name.

“It's so damnable he died a felon.
He was not a felon." Pearson said.
“His name ought to be cleared."
