Police seeking two men in recent UK assault

By JOE BRAUN
Staff Writer

The UK Police Department has
released descriptions of the two
men who allegedly sexually assault—
ed a UK female student near (‘oop-
erstown Apartrrrents last week.

W.ll. Mc(‘omas. UK police chief.
released the description from details
given to police by the victim.

One suspect was described as a 5-
foot-7 black male, who looks about
1‘) and weighs about 200 pounds.
He has a considerably large build
and was wearing blue Jeans and a
leather jacket at the time of the at-
tack, McComas said.

The other suspect was described
as a 6—2 black male. about 19 years
old.

He has a medium build. a mus»
tache and was last seen wearing a
dark ,iacket and culled acid-washed
leans, according to l'ls' police

Based on the description the vic-
tim gave police, the suspects alleg-
edly committed sexual assault in
the first degree. Mc(‘ornas said.

"A person is guilty of sexual
abuse in the first degree when sub-
Jects and other persons are in sexual
contact by forceful compulsion or
subject and other persons in sexual
contact is incapable of consent," he
said.

McComas said some automobile
vandalisms have been reported near
Sports (‘enter Drive. in the Vicinity
of the last assault.

“...We tend to think this is one of
those random things. They were
walking to check the cars out p0ssi-
bly —--— at least we‘re theori/ing
that."

Despite the two assaults that have
occurred on campus. McComas
said he believes most campus
crimes are minor and that the carn-
ptis‘ is safe.

“We do hay e incidents occurring.

By GREG LABER
Staff Critic

Once upon a time, there was a
spoiled prince who refused an old
woman‘s request for shelter.

After warning him that appear»
anccs often are deceiving, she was
transformed into a beautiful enchan-
tenress and placed a curse over the
prince and his castle.

The pnnce was disfigured into a
horrible beast and the spell could
not be lifted unless he fell in love
and was lmcd in return before his
21st birthday.

This is the premise of Walt Dis-
ney‘s latest animated fairy tale.
”Beauty and the Beast." Fans of
pasx Disney films will be pleased to
know that the newest tale lives up to
the most memorable of Disney clas-
sics.

Most notably. comparison’s can
be made between “Beauty" and the
l989 film. “The Little Mermaid."
Both movies deal with a beautiful
young woman who is looking for
something more in life than what is
expected of her. Both Belle, the her-
ome of “Beauty," and Ariel, the lit»
tle mermaid. have important rela-
uonships with their fathers and both
find joy in the realization of an un—
likely love.

There is, of course. one important
distinction between the two hero~
mes, which gives “Beauty" a flavor
altogether its own: Whereas Ariel
was a magical creature finding fan»
c} in our own mundane world,
Belle is one of us. She is a simple

‘Beauty and the Beast’

 

girl with dreams of romance that

eventually are realized in the en»

chanted castle of the beast.
Although “Beauty" lacks some of

“Mermaids" whimsy and inno»
cence, this is made up for by the
complexuy of the tale. “Mermaid"
focused primarily on its heroine's
single-minded desire to live in our
world by winning the hand of
Prince Eric. Belle, however, must
protect both her father and eventu-
ally the Beast in addition to seeking
her own satisfaction.

As the story opens, we find Belle
dissatisfied with her “provincial
life.“ Her love of reading is not re-
ceived well by the townspeople ——
they think she is peculiar and are
mystified when she turns down the
romantic advances of the handsome
hunter, Gaston. Belle rejects his
marriage proposal, despite the fact
that he has already made the wed—
ding arrangements, and the arrogant
villain vows revenge.

The action begins when Belle‘s
father, an occentnc inventor, loses
his way into the forest. Eventually.
he comes upon the seemingly aban-
doned castle of the Beast where he
is greeted by a talking candlestick.
Unfortunately, the Beast is less wel-
coming and imprisons the old man.

In our society, sex is a very per-

some aspects of sexuality that most
of us just don‘t feel comfonable
discussing.

When her father‘s horse returns
without him, Belle sets out to res-
cue him. She comes upon the castle
and offers herself to the Beast in ex-
change for her father.

Realizing that the opportunity to
tree himself from the curse, the
Beast agrees to the exchange pro-
vided Belle promises to never
leave.

lnitially, the Beast is terrifying.
He is self-obsessed, temperamental
and demanding.

When Belle's curiosity leads her
to break one of the Beast‘s house
rules, she breaks her promise and
flees from the castle because of his
ferocious outburst.

Before she gets far, Belle is at—
tacked by wolves. The Beast comes
to her rescue but is gravely injured.
Belle takes him back to the castle
and tends to his wounds.

Gradually, the two of them come
to understand each other. The Beast
discovers his sensitive side as he
tries in every way possible to please
the beautiful Belle. She. in turn, ap-
preciates the Beast‘s inner beauty.

Complications arise when Gaston
attempts to gain revenge by impris—
oning Belle‘s father. When Belle
must leave the castle to rescue her
father from the asylum, it seems as
though all hope of lifting the
Beast‘s curse is lost.

Of course, this is a Disney film,
so audiences can be assured that
this is not the case.

The animation of “Beauty" is typ-
ically stunning. Every character
takes on a life of its own and every

cial treatment from Hollywood.

In the 1930s and ‘40s, cinematic
restrictions were nearly stifling. The
notorious three-second kiss law was
in effect and screen couples whose
embraces exceeded this limit would
find their films banned.

Today, audiences are significant-
ly more tolerant of sexual taboos in
the movies. Still, Hollywood tiptoes
around these subjects to avoid some
imagined backlash of moral superi-
ority.

The musical, “The Best Little
Whorehouse in Texas," starring
Burt Reynolds and Dolly Patton.
tried to convince us that prostitution
was fun. This irresponsible comedy
suggested that it was so wholesome
even the prostitutes enjoyed it.

When Dom DeLuise attempted to
expose Barton’s brothel to the pub-
lic he was viewed as the villain rath-
er than Reynolds, who portrayed a
foul-mouthed, corrupt police officer

“Beauty and the Beast" will likely become another entry in the distinguished list of Disney's animated
classics. The movie is based on the centuries old fairy tale of a beatiful woman and her unlikely love.

setting is more beautiful and exotic
than the one before. The motion is
lively and involving.

Alan Menken and the late Ho-

Even in the significantly less of-
fensive film, “Night Shift," in
which a hooker (Shelley Long) is
beaten by her pimp, the overall
message is that prostitution is a
growth experience. Nice guy Henry
Winkler learns self-confidence and
love through his enterprise as a
pimp.

In the super-smash comedy,
“Pretty Woman," Julia Roberts
plays the stereotypical prostitute
with a heart of gold. This Cinderel-
la story suggests that prostitution
leads to love affairs with rich.

If this were the case, I think more
young women would explore this
career option.

Of course, not all films depicting
prostitution have been so frivolous.
Occasionally a film comes along
that dares to make a statement.

nomination at the upcoming Acade-
my Awards is certain.

Most importantly, however, the
audience grows to care about the
characters. We can all relate to
Belle‘s idealism and the Beast‘s
new-found sensitivity. More than
anything, we want to see them suc-
ceed. When they finally do, the
emotion is so genuine that the audi—

One such film was John Schle-
singer's classic, “Midnight Cow~
boy," which featured Jon Voight as
a naive male prostitute taken under
the wing of a con-man, played by
Dustin Hoffman. Slowly, Voight
lost his innocence and became disil—
lusioned with what he had original-
ly perceived as a glamorous life
style.

Even more chilling was the scan-
dalous 1984 film, “Crimes of Pas—
sion.” Ken Russell’s stylish tale of a
shy fashion designer turned prosti-
tute is both shocking and frank.
Kathleen Turner starred as China
Blue, a woman who was afraid of
emotional commitments and decid-
ed to spum all men. She reveled in
playing out their silly sexual games
just to degrade them until a psycho-
path played by Anthony Hopkins at-
tempted to “save" her.

These films, and others like them,
do not enjoy the popularity of their
fairy-tale counterparts but their hon-
esty has made them cult classics.

Another sexual taboo that is dealt
with less frequently by Hollywood
is homosexuality. It is very rare that
a movie centers on a gay protago~

tip-toeing around sexual topics

nist. Harvey Fierstein’s attempt to
do so in “Torch Song Trilogy” was
ignored by critics and audiences
alike.

Generally, Hollywood has stereo.
typed the homosexual population
for the sake of comic relief.

The most popular example of this
was Bronson Pinchot’s cameo in
the original “Beverly Hills Cop."
Later in the film, Eddie Murphy im-
personated a stereotypical homo-
sexual to make his way into an elite
restaurant.

Receivmg somewhat greater at—
tention recently is the sexual taboo
of interraCial relationships. Unlike
the previous two subjects, this one
is generally treated with the maturi-
ty it deserves.

This summer Spike Lee surprised
all of movwgomg America in his
bleak depiction of such relauon-
ships. ln “Jungle Fever" Wesley
Snipes and Annabella Sciorra fell
into a doomed lovc. Lee himself
seemed to frown upon the mixing
of races in toms of romance.

“Love Field.” an upcoming Mi-

have a more positive outlook on in—
terracial sexuality. The story focus-
es on a bored, white housewife who
hitches a ride to John Kennedy's fu‘
neral with a black man.

After reviewing all of these films.
one is impressed with the immaturi-
ty of Hollywood’s views toward
sex. One would like to think that
the enlightenment of the '90s would
change this, but the fact remains
that dealing with these issues in a
mature fashion just is not profitable.

It seems that when it comes to
topics as volatile as sex, America
wants to believe in fairy tales.

Lady Kats to play
undersized Miami

By ERNEST L. WRENTMORE
Contributing Writer

After a disheartening loss to the
No. 8 Iowa Lady Hawkeyes Satur-
day night, the Lady Kats will have
to regroup quickly.

Tonight at 7:30 at Memorial Coli-
seum, they square off against a less
formidable but still dangerous foc
- Miami (Ohio).

UK coach Sharon Fanning was ir-
ritated after the loss to Iowa Satur-
day night. But she arguably was in
a better frame of mind yesterday.

“It‘s a new day," Fanning said.
“We‘re gorng to have a lot of op-
portunities like the lowa game —-
the schedule is that tough. There's
gonna be a lot of close games and
we’ve got to react better.”

Miami will rely on outside shoot-
ing to make up for its lack of
height. Julie Howell is the only Mi-
ami player taller than 6 feet. She is
6—foot-l.

”Even though they‘re smaller,
they‘ll work exceptionally hard,“
Fanning said. “They're going to
have a good three-point shooter in
Lisa Hayden with a few more pe-
rimeter players."

Miami coach Linda Wunder‘s
team has just two starters returning
from last season‘s squad. She said
she expects a full-court running
game with a lot of hard. inside play.

“It’ll be a fast-paced and very
physical game," Wunder said. “1
hope we‘ll be able to take the ball at
them.“

The Kats are hoping to play well
early against Miami »« something
they didn’t do against Iowa. But to
do that. UK’s Stacy .Vlclntyre will
have to play with a tougher mental
attitude tonight. For much of the
lowa game, she tried to take on the
Lady Hawkeyes by herself.

“I was trying too hard.“ she said.
“Hopefully, 1 can come in and be
calm and relaxed —— that‘s my goal.
1f I don't hit a basket all night. I‘ll
still be relaxed."

UK is hoping to use this game to
improve its offense.

“1 hope that we‘ll be able to uti-
lize our quickness up and down the
floor ~ our depth and Size," Fan-
ning said. “This will be a game we
can grow from."

AP ranks UK No. 13 after loss to Pitt

Associated Press

Pittsburgh's impressive victory at
Rupp Arena last week affected two
teams from the commonwealth of
Kentucky in the college basketball

poll.

The Panthers’ 85-67 win at Ken-
tucky in the second round of the
Preseason National Invitational
Tournament dropped the Wildcats
from fourth to 13th in the rankings
released yesterday. To make room
for lightly regarded Pitt in the first
regular-season poll, the voters
knocked Louisville out of the Top
25 despite the fact the Cardinals
won their season-opener by 20
points.

Duke, which opened its season
Monday night, increased its lead in

the No. 1 spot from the preseason
poll, receiving 61 of 64 first-place
votes and 1,597 points from the na-
tionwide panel of writers and
broadcasters who voted on games
through Sunday. The Blue Devils
had 49 first-place votes in the pre-
season poll.

Thanksgiving should
be time for reflection
and appreciation

When the Pilgrims landed on Plyntouth Rock. they were fleeing
religious persecution and seekirtg freedom in a new world. With the
help of the native Irtdians. tlte Pilgrims were able to survive the
ltarsh wittter for which they had beert unprepared. They chose a
time following the next harvest to feast and give thanks for the

many blessings tltey had received.

It is in this tradition that we take tinte from our rat-race lives to
gather witlt our families and be thankful for all the good things we

hay e receiy ed.

Often. it is easy to focus on the bad things iii our lives. The reces-
sion. that test tltat you bombed. the big fight you had with your boy'—
t'nend or girlfriend are all things to distract you front the many posi-

tiy es iit your life.

Remember that you live in the ntost free and prosperous country
that exists. Remember that you have the basic necessities of life
and far beyond. in the vast majority of cases. You have the Wild-
cats. who may win a few games this season. What else do you have

to be tltankful t’or’

Take a few minutes and ponder. and you will have no problem

bringing things to mind

Go home. eat some turkey. give thanks and get ready for finals.
