war with Iraq
to last months

By JOHN KING
and TERENCE HUNT
Associated Press

The war against Iraq probably
will last months, not weeks, and will
entail “enemy victories" and allied
losses before Saddam Hussein is de-
feated, the White House said yester-
day in its first. tentative predictions
about the duration of the conflict.

The somber appraisal was com-
bined with a confident prediction
that “in the final analysis, we will
prevail.”

Eight days into the war. Republi-
can leaders of Congress were
briefed on the fighting by President
Bush and Defense Secretary Dick
Cheney. Leaving the White House.
the lawmakers said Americans
should not expect lightning victory.

Iraq’s elusive air force showed
signs of life yesterday arnd sent two
warplanes along the Saudi coast car-
rying the feared Exocet anti-ship
missiles. Both fighters were prompt-
ly shot down.

Iraq mocked the allies for failing
to launch a ground offensive, but al-
lied commanders said they would
stick to their game plan and intensi-
fy the around-theclock air strikes
on Iraq and occupied Kuwait

The U.S. Navy scored a victory in
the northern Persian Gulf, taking 51
Iraqis prisoner on a tiny Kuwaiti is-
land and sinking an Iraqi mine-
sweeper, American officials report-
ed. They said a second minesweeper
exploded and sank, apparently after
hitting a mine while trying to es-
cape.

Three Iraqis were killed on Qaruh
Island yesterday in the latest action
by the U.S. Navy along the Kuwaiti
coast, where Iraqis have been sow-
ing mines and installing anti-aircraft
weapons on oil platforms.

Burch given new University position

By GREGORY A. HALL
Senior Stall Writer

UK President Charles Wethington
again expanded his cabinet adding
Joe Burch, who will fill a new role
as special assistant for University
relations.

Burch will be the central adminis—
tration representative for alumni af -
fairs, development. public relations
and government relations.

The creation of the position is
part of Wethington’s ongoing re-
view of UK‘s administrative setup.
The new special assistant provides
Wethington with a checkpoint to
obtain information regarding those
aspects of the University.

Burch, who has worked at UK un-
der five of its 10 presidents, was

 

ing.

 

COGS AND SPROCKETS: This piece of art is located outside of the Whitehall Classroom Build-

 

 

previously deputy legal counsel.

He was acting athletics director
after the resignation of Cliff Hagan
during the NCAA investigation of
the basketball program.

In that position, Burch gained a
reputation for being able to clean up
struggling areas of the Universi-
ty.
But Wethington said this is a job
that places Burch at the other end of
the spectrum.

“Joe Burch has done an excellent
job taking on some. tough adminis-
trative responsibilities in this Uni-
versity," Wethington said.

This position is allows Burch to
work with programs that are doing
well, he said.

”It's a good career move for me,
one that 1 hope matches my talents
and background in the University
Burch said.

Among other assignments, Burch
was the dean of students from 1974-
86.

 

“It’s a good career
move for me, one that I the
hope matches my talent
and background in the

University.”

University Relations

Included in his new duties will be
lobbying for the University at the
General Assembly in Frankfort.
Burch said he has been “peripheral—
ly involved" in other matters in
which UK has dealt with state gov-
emment.

Burch said the position could
evolve into a part of UK that advises
the University on implementing new
federal and state laws.

The relations position is similar to
the one held by Ray Homback in the
early 1980s

Conference to develop

By TAWY GAY
Staff Writer

The College of Human Environ-
mental Sciences, formerly the Col-
lege of Home Economics, is hold-
ing its 1991 Leadership Conference
Feb. 2 in Erikson Hall.

“Some of the kinds of things we
are working toward (include) in-
creasing leadership skills, building
self-esteem as a leader (and)
strengthening friendships within the
college," said Louise Gladstone, di-
rector of student services for the
college.

The conference -‘- titled “Steps to
Success: Building Future Leaders”
—- will be held from 8 am. to 1:30
pm.

The last day to sign up is Friday
Jan. 25, and the cost is 32. There is

standing room only left at the con-
ference.

Eighty people had signed up as of
yesterday.

Officials are considering expand-
ing the conference to include a
greater number of people.

The workshops at the event in-
clude handling stress and managing
time, managing conflict positively,
developing conflict within yourself.
how to conduct meetings, utilizing
campus opportunities and how to
present yourself professionally.

Michael Nichols. director of the
UK Counseling and Testing Center.
will be the luncheon speaker.

This is the third year the confer-
ence has been held. Its purpose Is to
help any student who .. nts to de-
velop their lcadersh abilities.

The possibility of U.S. oil short-

Widespread use of etlunnol. how-

crease pollution. according to Mike
Bryan. a program mamger for the
National Corn Growers Associa-
tion.

About 50 percent of the U.S. oil
supply is imported, with Persian
Gulf oil accounting for almost 11
percent of U.S. consumption. Bryan
said.

“The truth is. ethanol can offset

Bitzer said does not harm a car's en-

"We need to move from depleta-

fuel,” lnfanger said.

Other alternative energy sources
include solar power and wind-

these are not very efficient.

It is expensive to build plants that

another non-depletable fuel, but.

Letter campaigns meaningful

By JOE‘ITA LYNN SACK
Staff Writer

When Blanding Tower resident
adviser Cynthia Cross sent out
about 60 letters to U.S. soldiers sta-
tioned in the Persian Gulf, she ex-
pected most to reply. However, she
didn't expect to receive the “sweet-
est. saddest,” three- and four-page
letters she had ever read.

“It's such a big morale booster,”
she said. "I'here's just no way we
can know how it helps. And they’ve
said that several times in their let-
ters.”

Several UK students have viewed
the us. involvement in the Persian
Gulf more personally and thought-

. fully than many Americans have

through news coverage. Since fall
—— when troop buildup began in the
gulf — they have been receiving
and sending mail to soldiers stao
tioned in Saudi Arabia.

Many of the students who sent
letters through Cross' program.
“Letters From Home," and other
students who sent them on their
own, already have gotten responses.
Cross is writing to 25 soldiers her-

Cross first got the idea for "Let-

Steve Collier. in the 133rd public
affairs detachment in Saudi Arabia
suggested she write. Twelve resi-
dents at her flow began writing to
six of Collier's friends.

The project was so successful that
Cross organized a letter-writing par-
ty at the Kirwan-Blanding Complex
Commons in December. Students
sent about 2,000 Christmas cards
through that party, and several have
gotten thank-you notes from the re-
cipients. she said.

Cross said most of the recipients
are from the Lexington area or near
Henderson, Ky., her hometown.
Some went to UK before going to
the gulf, she said.

Gina Lang. hall director at Patter-
son Hall, coordinated a letter-
writing campaign in October. She
said the participants were hopeful
that some would respond. Many
did.

“For a while, we were getting let-
ters every single day. People are
still responding,” Lang said. “Some
don’t talk about the situation at all.
Others talk about how much they
appreciate the letters.

“I know how I lovetogetmail
people need to know that people are
supporting them and praying for

girls gave up because they weren't
getting any response. but it's so im-
portant to keep writing."

Some students had more personal
reasons to write. Barb Elliott, a bio-
technology sophomore, has a broth-
er and several friends stationed in
Saudi Arabia.

“He can’t say much, can’t get into
any detail,” Elliott said. “Mostly he
wants to know what's going on at
home so he won’t feel left out.”

“It’s amazing what one letter can
do.” Cross said. “I’ll keep writing
until they come back."

Cross has gotten more titan 200
names from the soldiers and the
Red Cross and is “in desperate
need" of 50 to 80 people to write
other soldiers. She urges anyone
wanting to write to a soldier to call
her at 258~8374.

Increased ethanol use also would
benefit the environment because it
burns cleaner than fossil fuels, Bit-
zer said Additionally, it would open
a prosperous market for Kentucky's .
farmers, and, Bitzer said, ethanol
could someday replace gasoline.

Since widespread ethanol use may
not start soon. Bill Murphy. an asso-
ciate extension professor with UK’s
Agricultural Engineering Depart-
ment, suggested conserving energy
to reduce dependence on foreign oil.

“One of the biggest consumers of
gasoline is driving," Murphy said.
“We need to cut down on our mile-
age by car pooling. watch the way
(our cars) run and buy fuel-efficient
cars.”

Murphy also said that energy con-
sumption can be reduced in most
homes. For every degree the ther-
mostat is turned down in the winter,
energy consumption is reduced by 4
percent. Likewise, if the thermostat
is turned up one degree in the sum-
mer, there is an 8 percent reduction
in energy use, he said.

MUSIC
REVIEW

By WILUAM PERRY
Contributing Critic

Crisp, succinct and impressive
are among a few words that de-
scribe my first thoughts after seeing
a perfonnartce by the talented local
duet, Acoustic Alternatives.

Acoustic Alternatives are Paul
McConnell and John Boardman.
They can be seen upstairs at Ray
Galvan’s High on Rose at 9 pm. to-
morrow and Feb. 9 and 2A.

The duet‘s name indicates acous-
tic, and acoustic sound is what they
consistently deliver — but with an
added electric flair, giving the duct
a most pleasing full sound.

The chemistry between the pair is
quite noticeable as they deftly dis-
play a true passion for the songs
they play.

Songs the duet performs include
familiar hits from popular music’s
greatest talent of the last 20 years.
Although not constrained by any
specific format, Acoustic Altema-
tives custom tailors its music to fit
the mood of the audience. No two
performances are alike.

Clarity and note~for-note musi-
cianship prevail as the duet’s sound
melodically captivates the audience.

that Acoustic Alternatives likes to
perform songs that are not heard on

REVIEW

By JULIA LAWSON
Staff Critic

“Awakenings," starring Robert
De Niro and Robin Williams, is ap-
propriately named for more than
one reason.

This inspirational story is about
Leonard Lowe who, along with oth-
er patients at the Bainbridge Hospi-
tal. suffers from an incurable neuro-
logical disease known as “Rip Van
Winkle Syndrome.”

The patients are alive, but they
cannot function normally. They
must be fed. They must be walked
and they must be put to bed — all
things we take for granted as sim-
ple, everyday functions.

Through the award-deserving di-
rection of Penny Marshall, this film
offers human insight into how we,
as purely functional people, take
things for granted and need to use
these common abilities to their full-
est.

Robin Williams has overcome his
Mork character with leaps and
bounds and proves it in his perfor-
mance as Dr. Malcolm Sayer. Al-
though Williams' stand-up comedy
is tear-jerkingly funny, his acting
ability is profound.

Paul McConnell and John Boardman of Acaustic Alternatives combine their musical skills for a crisp, refreshing sound. The duet performs
tomorrow night at High on Rose, Rose and High streets.

Top 40 radio stations.

“This is how we arrived at our
name. We decided to play acoustic
alternative (to Top 40) songs to
give the people a chance to hear
something different," McConnell
said.

“We like to play the songs people
want to hear, we want to make eve-
ryone happy and keep the music
alive,” said lead guitarist Board-
man.

During a rendition of Pink
Floyd's “Comfortably Numb,”
Boardman‘s searing and flowing
riffs were a demonstration of pure
musical prowess. The crowd
showed its appreciation by respond-
ing with a loud round of applause.

McConnell gave a solo perfor-
mance of Pink Floyd's “Mother"
with excellent vocals while accom-
panying himself on a 12 string Ova-
tion guitar.

Full band sound from a duet is
rare, but this pair does it with skill

and finesse.

They are very personable with
their audience, coaxing everyone in
the house into a sing-along on Bad
Company's "Feel Like Making
Love." Good cheer flowed with
each chorus leading to a near fren—
zied end.

Rarely displayed in Lexington,
increasing audience participation
lead to a 1960s-style camaraderie,
an ambience of harmony.

Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead, and
Crosby, Stills and Nash were a few
artists in the repertoire covering
great songs from the mid-605
through the 1980s.

A voice processor used by
McConnell on the Jeff Healy tune
“Blue Jean" and a drum synthesizer
are the only effects employed by
the talented pair.

Boardman's accurate signature
riffs combined with McConnell's
steady rhythms absolutely take you
home — all the way home!

 

 

COURTESY COLUMBIA PICTURES

Robert De Niro and Robin Williams give touching performances in

Penny Marshall's “Awakenings.”

A man who can tell stand-up
jokes about condoms and do a com-
mand performance as an English
professor in “Dead Poets‘ Society"
deserves the award for best all-
around swell guy.

The timid, sometimes awkward
Dr. Sayer is given the task of awak-
ening these patients, and he does so
with vigor. Because of the marvel
he discovered, he has realized the
capacity for other things, like love
and friendship, that he has within
himself.

The fact that I went into this mo-
vie drinking that these patients
would be alive forever completely
disrupted the ending for me. But
don’t let this sway your decision to
see the movie.

Robert De Niro is in this movie
— that should give you a big clue
that this movie is beyond run-of-

the-mill. let alone extraordinary.
For almost two decades, audiences
have been astonished by his versa-
tile acting ability. No longer is he
an insane cab driver or a gun-
packing gangster. His role is un-
glamorous. He is more than vulner-
able.

Leonard Lowe (De Niro), who is
the focus of this film, does wake up
and becomes a normal man in the
summer of 1969. With the help of
the experimental drug L-DOPA, Dr.
Sayer revives Lowe from his
lengthy sleep. Lowe was told that
he had been “away for a long time”
— and so he missed everything
from the birth of rock ‘n’ roll to his
discovering girls.

Boardman, taking the solo seat
during Arlo Guthrie’s “Coming to
Los Angeles," delivered a stellar
performance while accompanying
himself on a six string acoustic Al-

Switching to a magenta Charvell,
Boardman added electric fills and

MOVIE
REVIEW

By KIP BOWMAR
Senior Staff Critic

Portraying madness can be a de-
manding task for actors because
they must make the audience be-
lieve it with their body movements
and facial expressions, as well as
their words.

Mel Gibson walked that line in
Franco Zeffirelli‘s “Hamlet” and
pulled off a dynamic performance
without going overboard.

One of the best aspects of Gib-
son‘s performance is his ability to
emote with his eyes. The audience
could have followed Hamlet‘s eyes
and understood his motivations —
even if he hadn‘t spoken a word.

Adapting Shakespeare to the
screen presents a challenge for any
filmmaker since he must remain
true to the words of the play and
make them accessible to his audi-
ence.

Zeffirelli, who adapted Romeo
and Juliet and The Taming of the
Shrew in the 1960s, has done a
wonderful job of updating this clas—
sic play by creating a movie that
will one day be considered a classic
in its own right.

Zeffirelli has taken liberties with

Last performed was Dylan's
“Knockin' on Heaven's Door” with
Boardman displaying amazing fret-
board dexterity and McConnell sup-
plying a perfect rhythm section.

Coaxed into an encore, J imi Hen-
drix’s “Along the Watchtower” was
performed. The pair traded guitars
with each other in the middle of the
song and McConnell began playing
lead with his teeth as did Hendrix
many times during his career.
Boardman took over the rhythm
section displaying absolute musical
versatility.

Acoustic Altematives have obvi-
ously discovered their musical
niche and it seems that more and
better things are sure to follow.

Inconsistent Alabama next for Cats

Tide’s play,
Wimp’s back
painful to coach

By BARRY REEVES
Assistant Sports Editor

Alabama coach Wimp Sanderson
is known for his grimacing looks at
basketball games. He's not faking
any more, though.

Sanderson is in pain, both mental
and physical. He
is suffering from
a pulled muscle
in his back and
from his team's
poor offensive
performance.

“(The back) is
not good," San-
derson said yes-
terday during '
the SEC Tele- SANDERSON
conference. “It’s
OK. It hurts extremely bad, but
there’s nothing I can do about that
except stay off it as much as possi-
ble.”

No matter how much Sanderson
complains, expect to see him on the
sideline tomorrow when his Crim-
son Tide hosts No. 8 UK at Cole-
man Coliseum. Tip-off is set for 2
p.m. EST. But don’t expect him to
be happy-

Alabama, which' was picked to
finish atop the Southeastern Confer-
ence, is 10-6 overall and tied for
third in league play at 4-3. The Tide
lost 68-59 at Mississippi State on
Wednesday after holding the Bull-
dogs to 35 percent shooting from
the field in the first half.

“We’re last in the league offen-
sively," Sanderson said. "We go
through long dry spells of (not) be-
ing able to score. We're very incon-
sistent from the line and very incon-
sistent play from everybody.

“We've had very little leadership
or anybody to really take control on
the court and give us the kind of
play we need when things are not
going so good. Between you and

me, they haven’t done very well.

‘ I don’t know if its a confidence cri-

sis or not.”

The Crimson Tide retumed a sol-
id nucleus in forwards Melvin
Cheatum and Robert Horry along
with Gary Waites —— add to that
standout freshman guard James
Robinson.

The problem is shooting. Ala-
bama is shooting 45.7 percent from
the field on the season and 43.3 per-
cent in the SEC. At the line, the
Tide hits only 67.2 percent of its at-
tempts.

“We’re either a bad shooting
team or a good shooting team shoot-
ing bad shots," Sanderson said “I
guess we have shot some bad shots.
I watch other teams play, and
(when) they throw up the three-
pointer, it goes in. We're just not
able to get it to go down.

“I can’t put my finger on it, I
guess I’m just doing a bad job with
them offensively.”

Cheatum, a 6-foot-8 senior, leads
the team in scoring with a 17.3 av-
erage but is hitting only 48 percent
of his shots. Robinson, 6-2, is sec-
ond with a 15.0 average but is hit-
ting only 47.9 percent of his shots.
Horry, a 6-9 junior, is averaging

UK finds new ways to win

Shooting?

We don't need no stinking shoot-
ing.

That statement, in a nutshell, has
been UK coach Rick Pitino re-
sponse to his team’s shooting
“Slump,"

The players relentlessly targeted
throughout the latter part of this sea-
son by reporters for missing the
hoop — like John Pelphrey (who
has been up and down throughout
the season from three-point range),
Richie Farmer (who has hit only
three of his last 19 three-point at-
tempts) and Jeff Brassow (4-20 in
last five games) —- echo their
coach.

“This team does not rely on
shooting,” Pitino is forced to say
Over and over at news conferences.

And those three players, who all
have contributed mightily in UK's
victories. get noticably perturbed
when reporters constantly bring up
the fact that they can‘t hit the can
from long range.

The beauty of this team is being
missed by certain journalists —— as
if they are searching for negatives
on a team that is full of positives.

“Uh, Jeff, how come you can't hit
your shots?” a reporter can be heard
asking Brassow.

What kind of question is that?
The absurdity of the question
heightens when one recognizes the
fact that UK is 15-2 this season and
7—0 in SEC play.

Uh, “.Mr Jordan," I realize you
nailed a three with 0.5 seconds on
the clock to win the game. but, jeez,
what about that gimme you missed
in the first quarter?

Such a question is analogous to
this far-fetched concentration on
UK’s long-range shooting woes.

Time and time again one hears
Brassow answer such a question
with the most concise and brilliant
answer possible ~ “They just
aren’t falling,” he says.

Sure. there is a problem. And eve-
ry player on this UK learn wishes

those bombs would hit target. When
a shooter can't find his range, how-
ever, he (unless there is an obvious
technical problem) must simply
keep on shooting — and missing —
until he finds it.

Questioning the shooter is not
only useless, but it become
