ESTABLISHED 1894

Guthrie making run at hoard scat

By Stephen Trimble
Senior Staﬂ‘ Writer

The chairman of the largest independent public
relations firm in Kentucky is promoting himself for
once.

Jack Guthrie, a Louisville, Ky. native is one of six
nominees for an alumni seat on UK’s highest govern»
ing body — the Board of Trustees. Now he is waging
what alumni leaders think is the largest grassroots
campaign ever seen for one of the three alumni seats,
which represent about 145,000 former UK students.

Guthrie has sent thousands of letters to UK’s
active alumni members in Jefferson County, he said.
In addition, Guthrie recently placed campaign adver—
tisements in Louisville newspapers and set up a
phone bank to answer questions. _

“Nobody ever said you could or you couldn't do
it," Guthrie said recently during a phone interview in
his Louisville office.

No rules govern the election of alumni trustees,
UK Alumni Association President Bob Whitaker
said. But then again, no one has ever waged an all—out
campaign for the seat.

“Maybe before the next election we’re going to sit
down and take a look at the way they’re done,"
\Vhitaker said.

This is how the process works now:

VA committee formed from the Alumni Associa—
tion’s Board of Directors picks the six nominees.

VThe Aiumni Association sends a postage-paid
ballot to all of its known UK graduates, which asks
them to vote for up to three nominees.

Like many nominees, Guthrie has asked support—
ers to vote for only him, which maximizes a vote’s
support for one candidate. But unlike all past nomi—
nees, Guthrie has asked thousands ofalumni through
his direct mail campaign.

VIn this election, the ballots must be returned by
Dec. 5. The names of the top three nominees are

sent to the governor's office. The governor selects
one - usually the highest vote winner — and that
nominee becomes the trustee.

The current alumni members are Kay Shropshire
Bell, Ted Bates and Marian Moore Sims. It is Sims'
spot that is up for grabs when her term expires on
June 50, 1996. She is also one of the six alumni,
including Guthrie, nominated for this election.

But she doesn’t mind Guthrie’s grass roots cam—
paigning, although she said her campaign has been
limited to calling a few friends to ask for support.

In fact, she even supports Guthrie's effort.

“I think (Guthrie’s campaign) increases awareness
about the Alumni Association,” said Sims, a Fayette
County teacher. “Anything that creates awareness I
think is good.”

Even Guthrie said all the nominees are qualiﬁed
to be an alumni trustee, but he still wants to win.

“IfI’m going to take something on," Guthrie said.
“I might as well try my best."

comes to UK

By Melanie McCoy
Staff ll'riter

A new pro rram titled Athletes in Service to Amer—
ica was unveiIed yesterday at a news conference held
in the \Vildcat Den in Commonwealth Stadium.

Bob Bradley, assistant athletics director for Stu—
dent Services and Academics and program executive
director for Athletes in Service to America, said the
new program is the result ofa matching federal grant
given under President Bill Clinton‘s National Service
Act or the Americorps program.

Other grant recipients include Canisius in Buffalo,
New York; North Eastern University in Boston,
Mass; and the University of Nevada at Reno.

Athletes in Service to America is a collaboration
with the Partners for Youth program and the Win-
burn Academy program.

“There’s strength in collaboration,” Bradley said.

Ann Garrity, assistant to the chancellor for coin—
munity projects, said the \Vinburn Academy is an
after-school program where the Athletes in Service
to America participants help.

The W'inburn Academy program and Athletes in
Service to America is an effective collaboration
because “they’re both concerned with the success of
children in school," Garrity said. “VVe’re delighted
that the Athletes in Service to America will help serve
this area and be working with the kids in north Lex-
ington.”

The Partners for Youth Program is a coalition of
community leaders and young people in the Lexing-
ton area who work together to create youth pro-

SIII‘VEV SHOWS large margin Iﬂl‘ 24-hour visitation

By Emily Gowin
Contributing Mr’r'itet‘

The surve ' is complete, and the results may bring
the luxury 0 24-hour visitation one step closer for
two of UK’s residence balls.

The random survey, conducted by the Residence
Hall Association, asked students for their opinion on
the current visitation policy requiring visitors of the
opposite sex to leave by midnight on weekdays and 2
a.m. on weekends.

Of the 700 students who responded, 80 percent
said that the current policy is too strict, but that if the
proposed 24—hour visitation passed, they would
return to the residence halls.

Accordin to RHA President Brandon Tosti,
RHA will select one hall on South Campus and one
on the North Campus to test the 24—hour visitation
policy next fall.

No specific halls have been selected, but three

lllt's academic team practicing to bring home gold in state matchups

balls on South Campus, Blanding I and II, and Kit-
wan III are being considered, as well as Keeneland
Hall on North Campus. The plan must still be
approved by the UK Ofﬁce of Residence Life.

In addition to the proposed 24-hour halls, there
still would be single—sex and co-ed balls with current
restricted visitation policies.

“We want to increase the housing options for stu—
dents,” Tosti said.

In the trial halls, the safety policies will remain
basically the same. The rules may be more strictly
enforced in the beginning, but no significant changes
are planned.

How the fall semester oes will determine ifthe
policy will remain in effect for the spring 1997
semester.

“If there is not an increase in disciplinary proce—
dures, we will go ahead with the spring," Tosti said.
If the trial semester goes well, a third hall may be
added.

Education freshman Alison Albrinck, a resident of
Blanding Tower, is in favor of the extended visita»
tion.

“People break the rules anyway. I would rather
expect to see visitors in the hall instead of being sur~
prised," Albrinck said.

Many students indicated on the survey that they
believe the visitation policy is the primary reason
people do not return to the residence halls. ~

“I think more people will stay on campus if they
have more options," Albrinck said. “More people
might stay beyond their freshman and sophomore
years."

josiah Royse, an electrical engineering freshman,
thinks that 34—hour visitation would create a more
relaxed atmosphere in the residence halls, but said
the change might not make everyone stay another
year.

i “I don‘t think the percentage would be that great,"

Senate prepares
for vote on new budget

\\'.>\SIIING'I‘ON —v In a momentous break
with the past, the House passed a Republican bal-
anced-budget bill yesterday that would shrink the
federal government, cut taxes and return power to
the states. Democrats battled to the end against the
measure.

The vote was 227-203, with nearly all Republi—

cans in favor and nearly all
Democrats opposed.
“The peop e should understand

that in seven years, we will in fact
balance the federal budget and save
this country and save the next gen—
eration," said House Budget Com-
mittee Chairman john Kasich of
Ohio. “\Ve‘ve done our job.":\
cheer went up from the Republic-.111
side of the chamber as the vote
count climbed past 217, the number needed to
assure passage in the 433-member House. GOP
lawmakers pumped their arms in the air in tri—
umph.

Across the Capitol, the GOP—controlled Senate
was expected to approve a similar bill today, a
major milestone in the Republican revolution
launched last winter.

“\Ve'll be all right,“ predicted Senate Majority
Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan.

President Clinton has threatened a veto, and
congressional Democrats are certain to sustain it.

Tl'aShy talk Shows [Inner attack

\I'ASIIING'IT )N ,! The same people who
took on “gangsta rap" music have lined up a new
target: TV talk shows with trashy topics like
“\Vomen \Vho Marry Their Rapist” and “My
Daughter Is Living as a Boy."

Denouncing daytime talk shows as “a case study
of rot,“ former Education Secretary “'illiam Ben-
nett announced a campaign yesterday to pressure
the shows‘ producers, sponsors and viewers to
clean up their acts.

“\Vhat is happening today is the pollution of the
human environment,” Bennett, a Republican, said
after screening snippets of the offending shows at a
joint news conference with Sen. joseph Lieberman,
D-Conn.

Weekend means return to standard

WASHINGTON ~— Standard time returns this
weekend, prompting an American ritual —— chang-
ing the clock.

Remember the old adage and it‘s easy: Spring
forward. fall back.

That means set the clock back one hour before
hittinu the sack Saturday night. Then you‘ll ret an
extra hour of sleep and still be on time for church
or other plans Sunday.

'I‘echnicallv, the change occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday,
local time, which becomes 1 a.m., and an hour is
repeated.

Daylight~saving time returns the first Sunday in
April.

TGIBVISion networks '36“! "In.“ “mes

FORT \VORTH, Texas — CBS has experi-
enced some rocky times lately -—— “the most chal-
lenging period I’ve been through at CBS News,"
Dan Rather says.

“To use a Texas term, I’ve seen goat—ropin‘s and
space shots, but I ain't never seen anything like
this,” the 34-year CBS newsman said yesterday.

The NFL defected to Fox, and then the network
lost affiliates. There also was the conﬂict with Con-
nie Chung, who was dumped as co—anchor.

Broadcasting the “CBS Evening News" from
TV studios in his home state, Rather, who turns 64
on Tuesday. was asked if he might return perma~
nentlv someday.

“I .don’t honestly know. I love what I’m doing. It
has never worked for me to think very far ahead,"
Rather said.

The UK academic team is going for the
gold this year — the old trophy, that is.

They‘ve already p aced third in two tourna-
ments this semester. Placing third at the recent
Murray State University tournament put them
at third place overall in the league.

‘ Team president and electrical engineering
junior Rachel Farmer is conﬁdent about this
year's team.

“We have a wonderful group this year,”
Farmer said. There are 15 students with vary-
ing majors on the team.

John Kuchenbrod, team adviser and mathe—
matics graduate student, said there are two dif-
ferent tournament styles.

The Kentucky Quick Recall League is open
to Division I schools and community colleges.

Lexington Community College has its own
separate academic team. Last year they were

:- q \

named overall division champions. LCC’s team
plays primarily in the Kentucky Collegiate
Quick Recall League.

Teams from Cumberland, Georgetown,
Pikeville, Union, Murray State and Translyva-
nia compete in this league. Tournaments are
similar to those of the high school Governor's
Cup. The College Bowl tournament also uti-
lizes the general timed-question format.

Each school in the tournament has one
four-player team. Questions are not drawn
from any one area of study, but fall into the
categories of language, arts, science, math,
social studies and general knowledge.

The team in the league that places highest
in the most tournaments is honored with a tro-
phy at the end of the season. This is the UK
academic team’s goal.

The second format, American Collegiate
Foundation, generally involves more difﬁcult,
in-depth lines of questioning. Unlike the oth-
ers, ACF is a national league.

Every year during the first week in Decem—
ber the team heads to Vanderbilt for what’s
known as the “Trash Masters.” This tourna-
ment uses questions of a different, non-aca-
demic nature. Categories include popular cul—
ture, science ﬁction, sports and trivia.

There are two different styles of questions,
Kuchenbrod said. Toss-up questions are
answered by an individual team member using
a buzzer board. Bonus questions, which are
more difficult, require team work and are
worth more points. There’s no secret to the
team’s preparation for upcoming tournaments.

“It's like with anything else,” Farmer said.
“We practice.”

They practice by asking questions similar to
what you see on “Jeopardy!” only the format is
a little different.

In November the team will compete in a
tournament at Bowling Green, Ky., and anoth-
er at Pikeville. They will compete in the ACF
tournament held at Michigan in January.
