Dean investigating Sigma Chi hazing allegations

By JOE BRAUN
Staff Writer

The Dean of Students Office is
investigating reports of alleged
pledge hazing by Sigma Chi social
fraternity.

“We're investigating inquiries in
response to an alleged violation,"
said Dean of Students David Stock-

ham.

The report involved allegations
concerning the hazing of fraternity
members, he said. He would not
specify further.

“We're making some inquiries.
We had a report and we're follow-
ing up — there are no conclusions,“
Stockham said.

“We will be thorough, satisfy

ourselves one way or another and
either drop it — or initiate some ac-
tion," he said.

Sigma Chi President Fred Wie-
denhoefer said although he was
aware of allegations, he didn‘t
know the identity of the accuser or
what the allegations entailed

“I knew a call had been placed,"
he said. “I wasn’t sure if someone

from our pledge class had placed it
or if someone’s parents had placed
the call or if it had come from some
external source."

Wiedenhoefer said he met last
week with Victor Hazard, assistant
dean of students, at Hazard’s re-
quest.

“When we had met with Dean
Hazard and Ron Lee (assistant dean

of students and fraternity adviser), 1
had a feeling they had in mind that
someone had called and complained
about a particular incident, and
that’s what they were trying to find
out about," he said.

“I’m unaware of what incident
they might be talking about, and i
asked Dean Hazard if he would tell
me so i could expand on it further,

Toyota gives
$1 million for
UK library

By MATT PETBIE
Contributing Writer

Citing its commitment to education in
Kentucky, Toyota announced yesterday a
$1 million donation to UK for its library
fund-raising campaign.

“The strength of the library system is
very important to the development of edu-
cation in Kentucky,“ said Fujio Cho, presi-
dent and chief executive officer of Toyota
Motor Manufacturing U.S.A. “We are very
pleased to help the UK library grow."

The gift from Toyota, which operates the
Camry manufacturing plant in Georgetown,
Ky., will go toward the construction of a
proposed new library. Toyota Motor Corpo-
ration in Japan is the third-largest automo-
bile manufacturer in the world.

UK President Charles Wethington recog-
nized Toyota as the campaign‘s leading cor-
porate donor. He also pointed out Toyota‘s
commitment to improving education in
Kentucky.

The University is seeking $20 million in
private funds for the library -— $12 million
toward the construction of a new central li-
brary building; $3 million for a humanities
book endowment fund; and $5 million to
establish other endowment funds.

A 1989 gift from Toyota helped UK at-
tract a $750,000 federal challenge grant to
establish the $3 million humanities endow-
ment fund. UK now is within $800,000 of
completing its fund raising for that endow-
merit.

UK also plans to seek $46 million for
construction of the library from the Ken-
tucky General Assembly when it meets next
year.

Although the state Council on Higher Ed-
ucation placed the library fifth on its list of
priorities. Wethington said he is committed
to it.

The new library “is our first priority and
it will remain our first priority." Wething-
ton said. Even in the toughest times,
there are some good projects. and this is a
good proyect."

The private fund-raising drive is intended
to demonstrate to the General Assembly
and the governor the enormous support and
need for a new library that will serve the
Commonwealth. Wethington said.

but he didn't tell me what this sup—
posed incident was. As of right
now, l'm still unaware.“

Wiedenhoefer said he and the fra-
tcmity‘s pledge coordinator Ste-
phen Staples informed the deans
about changes in Sigma Chi‘s
pledge program.

‘After Jesus and Elvis,’ Cawood first in Kentucky

By TIM WIESENHAHN
Sports Editor

Nearly four decades ago, a conversauon
over a cup of coffee in Harlan County be-
tween a 24-year-old school teacher and a
broadcaster longing to btxome a basket-
ball coach produced the Voice that has
since captivated the Commonwealth.

Nearly four decades ago, the coffee
flowed, brewing expectations of a harmo—
nious future. The school teacher had yet
to earn the right of distinction. Nevenhe-

less, the broadcaster recognized in the
school teacher the power and ability to
produce musical tones.

The broadcaster soon knew that the
school teacher‘s voice would become
more than an expiration of air. Soon, it
would become more than an instrument or
medium of expression. Soon, it would be-
come distinct. Soon, it would become the
Voice of the Wildcats.

“He was going to resign and he wanted
to recommend me," the school teacher
said of the broadcaster about to become a

basketball coach. “So he did, and I got inc
lob and that‘s how I got started."

Enrollment boom leaves LCC with no room

 

By DALE GREER
Managing EditOr

Skyrocketing enrollment at Lex—
ington Community College has left
school officials with an expensive
problem: too many students and too
little space.

Although LCC will begin con-
struction this spring on a third
classroom building for the school’s
Cooper Drive campus, LCC Presi-
dent Allen Edwards said the new
$4.8 million addition is little more
than a stop-gap measure.

Conditions at LCC already are
“miserably crowded." Edwards
said. because new classroom space
barely can keep pace with enroll-
ment.

The number of students at LCC
has increased 32 percent during the
past four years. and school officials
expect it to reach 10,(X)0 by 1996.

 

LCC currently has 4,985 students.

The obvious answer to alleviating
the space problem is to simply add
more buildings at LCC‘s current
site on UK's campus.

But Edwards said the community
college literally has run out of room
—- there is no land left on which to
build.

“We‘ve just about closed our—
selves out over here," Edwards
said. “We really seriously need to
look at moving at least part of our
operations somewhere else im-
mediately.

“The success of a community col~

lege basically depends on how well
we provide access to an education
and to the community. I think, basi-
cally, if we are going to provide the
services, we've got to have a place
to do it."

A new campus for LCC is ex-
pected to cost $25.5 million, and
UK already has asked the state to
grant the money in two installments
over the next four years.

it is not certain whether the Ken-
tucky General Assembly will fund
the request because of recent bud-
gct cuts. but Edwards thinks legis-
lators will understand the dire need
for a new LCC campus.

One proposed site for the campus
is at South Farm. 3 UK agricultural

Frank Morgan gives beautiful performance

By JOHN OVER FORT
Assrstant Arts Editor

The Spotlight Jazz Series present-
ed saxophonist Frank Morgan and
pianist George Cables in a simply
magical performance Saturday
night The concert was a beautiful
and peaceful experience.

Morgan came out dressed in a
baggy, white silk —\fncan shin and
matching silk pants. He strolled
onto Stage with his saxophone a if
he were walking into his own kitch-
en for a cup of coffee.

He smiled at the packed. enthu-

Morgan and Cables introduced
their first piece, a Cables-composed
number called “Lullaby," because
“We‘re a couple of babies,“ Mor-

“Lullaby" proved sweet, soft and
melodic. Morgan's repeated sax rc~
frain offered an innocent, swooning
flight of fancy.

Next, the duo played 3 Wayne

and the power of jazz However it is
described this power is real It
moves you, like floating on a gently
swelling ocean tide. The audience
felt it.

“Isn't it great to be alive?" Mor-
gan asked the audience after “Foot-
prints." His music answered his
own question.

Another Cables—composed tune
followed. “Helen‘s Song" was an
epic jazz poem of immense beauty
and simplicity, despite its compli-
cated jazz construction. Cables and
Morgan traded back and forth in
musical tongues, each giving way
to the other for extended solos.

banning prophylactic promotions at
the national network level.

Only ABC, owned by media con-
glomerate Capital Cities, refused to
rethink its prohibition.

The .impetus for most of this
soul-searching? Earvin “Magic"
Johnson‘s recent disclosure he is in-
fected with the AIDS virus.

The basketball star followed that
stunning announcement with a
frank admonishment on the nation-
ally syndicated “Arsenio Hall
Show“ to “please put your thinking
cap on and put your cap on down
there."

C. Jay Key of the San Francisco-
based marketing firm Key Concepts
said he approached Fox president
Jamie Kellner six months ago on
behalf of his client, London lntema-
tional Group, whose Schmid Labor-
atories manufactures Ramses, Four-
cx and Sheik condoms.

“I said to Jamie, ‘People are dy-
ing from AIDS. You have the larg-
est reach to the youngest audience.‘
" Key said, referring to Fox teen-
age favorites such as “The Simp-
sons" and “Beverly Hills, 90210."

So. days after Johnson's AIDS
disclosure, word leaked that Fox, in
a decision made weeks before, had
agreed to accept condom advertis-
ing focused exclusively on disease
prevention.

Key's marketing company hopes

The music' 5 tempo and intensity
gradually grew without losing any
of its subtle beauty. The measures
were furious and complex, but the
emotional effect was harmonic and
mesmerizing.

Cables, in particular, alternately
pounded and massaged the piano in
his amazing solos. When his feet
were not furiously pumping the
pedals, he stomped and slapped the
wooden stage floor.

The duo finished the set with
“Flowers Is a Lovesome Thing" by
Billy Strayhom, Dizzy Gillespie’s
“Night In Tunisia" and “52nd Street
Theme" by Charlie “Yardbird”

to have a commercial completed
early next year. In the meantime, he
said, he has sent a 5-year-old TV ad
to Fox for review.

Titled “The Gift,“ the 1987 com-
mercial, which never was accepted
for TV broadcast, shows a college-
age son receiving a letter from his
father. ln it, the father has enclosed
a condom for protection against
“problems I never had to face."

Specifically, the commercial
identifies AIDS and herpes as such
problems. Key said he also has sent
the ad to CBS and NBC, which
contacted Key after stories about
Fox’s policy surfaced last week.

The newfound attention to such
commercials comes nearly five
years after Ansell-America‘s con-
dom ad first appeared on indepen-
dent and network affiliate stations.
“I enjoy sex, but I’m not willing to
die for it,” said the woman on
screen.

Though the networks banned
contraceptive ads even then, affili‘
ate stations were (and still are) al-
lowed to accept such commercials
for broadcast after 11 pm.

Public service announcements ad-
vocating safe sex, which are not
prohibited by any network, first ap-
peared on MTV in 1985.

In January 1987, San Francisco-

Lighting designer Jim Shambhu,
a UK art studio senior, and other
members of the student technical
staff enhanced the music to a large
degree. Throughout the perfor-
mance, the darkened stage was cast
in moody blues, pinks, reds and am-
bers that shifted with the music.

The effect made it appear as if
the stage were bathed in the musical
moods of the musicians. Morgan
and Cables appeared to be in a
dream with sound.

After the short break, the musi-
cians returned to play a shorter set,
including Strayhom’s “Lotus Blos-

nounce it would accept condom ad-
vertising. ABC affiliates WXYZ-
TV in Detroit and WRTV-TV in In-
dianapolis made similar announce-
ments within a week.

But such commercials quickly
vanished. Advertising and televi-
sion executives said condom com-
panies decided they did not want to
associate themselves with a killing
disease.

Networks want no association
with condoms because their pri-
mary function is contraception. ln-
deed, it is that aspect of condoms,

som," a wonderful, inspired version
of Parker’ s “K. C. Blues,” and a re-
prise of “Footprints” and “Lullaby."

Morgan finished with the same
low, soft refrain from “Lullaby"
that kicked off the show. The re-
peated strains were more beautiful
with familiarity. The audience grew
sad as the show came to an end.

Morgan said goodnight with a
message: “Kiss the kids when you
get home. Say hello to your neigh-
bor. God knows we need world har-
mony."

He closed, as he does after every
show, with “I am a still-grateful
Frank Morgan."

and the perceived inference they en-
courage promiscuity. that makes
network executives most skittish.

NBC broadcast standards vice
president Rosalind Weinman said
her network also is concerned com-
mercials may not provide an appro—
priate way to educate the public
about AIDS.

NBC hopes to reach a decision
about condom advertising by the
year‘s end, Weinman said. “This is
a big change,” she said. “We have
to make it in an appropriate fash-
ion."

 

Hazing

Continued from page 1

Wiedenhoefer denied hazing re-
cently, although he admitted hazing
had occuned in the past

“I think that would depend on
what your definition of hazing is —
I will say no," Wiedenhoefer said.
“I think that in the past, not only in
our fraternity but in a lot of fratemi-
tics nationwide, that has occurred."

Staples said hazing has not oc-
curred within Sigma Chi.

“There is no hazing going on in
this house, and for anyone to think
there is would be absurd," he said.

“If they investigate, they're going
to find out that nothing is going on
here."

Hazing is the forcing of pledges
to do abusive mental or physical
acts.

“We’re not timid. If we uncover
something that's wrong, we’re go-
ing to address it," Stockham said.

Last year, Phi Kappa Tau social
fraternity was removed from camv
pus for hazing violations. The alco-
hol-related hazing incident was off
campus and involved Phi Tau's
pledge officer, about 10 other mem-
bers and the fratemity’s pledges —
who were made to do push-ups in
the rain.

football field or press table sitting
inches from a basketball court But
on this today, Ledford sits behind
his desk at Cawood Ledford Pro~
ductions on Kentucky Avenue a
few blocks from UK's campus.

He is preparing for his weekend
football broadcast and waiting for
the arrival of a sportswriter and a
photographer seeking yet another
interview.

As the tardy pair is ushered into
his office, Ledford lifts his eyes
above his spectacles, extinguishes
the cigarette buming in the ashtray
at his left hand and rises to greet his
guests. Handshakes are exchanged,
and Ledford retums to the chair be-
hind his desk.

A monthly planner lies open at
the center of his desk. It is bursting
with hand-written notes and remin-
ders of appointments and appear-
ances bedford must keep.

Beside it sits a mug of cold cof-
fee. A box of Scotch-brand magnet
ic audio tape fills the right comer
of Ledford's desk. A soft pack of
Benson & Hedges ultra-light cigar-
ettes, a SuperAmerica lighter and
an ashtray filled with half a dozen
cigarette butts share the left comer
of the desk with a telephone.

At Ledford's left sits a brown,
well-polished Royal typewriter
from yesteryear on a steel typing
stand. Behind him, a dusty, tumed-
off IBM PC and monitor add to an
already cluttered dresser. Media
guides and sports books revealing
the history of Wildcats athletics
stand cover to cover.

Again seated, Ledford begins do

tailing his 38 years with UK.

“I didn't pattern myself after just
one person. It's hard to be a fan of
someone in the same line of work as
you are. You have to be more a fan
of the athletes,“ he said.

“When you start out. you really
just listen to all of them, and borrow
from all of them," said Ledford,
who was chosen 2] times as Ken-
tut'ky's Sportscaster of the Year.

In 1954, Ledford began broad-
casting UK games for WLEX-AM
in Lexington. Three years later, he
moved to WHAS
