insect inspiration stemmed from

Lance \Villiams, a third year
graduate student in the art

towards putting his piece in the
show has been hard work.

\Villiams‘ piece, an aluminum
cast man figure. will be placed
outside the Student Center. The
pieces will begin to go up in the
wnext week. with the final pieces
going up in mid—August.

\Vith the work deadline for
completion drawing near. one
would think the pieces would
have been named. But this is not
the case.

\Villiams said that he never
names his work until it s fully
completed.

“While you are working on it
it is really iust an idea. when you
are done you can sit back and
look at it, and finite that idea.
knd that's when you come up
with a name." \Villiams said.

T he Monster has finally been
laid to rest. Several months after
closing its doors for good, the
campus Hardee's restaurant will
soon be mere memories of Frisco
Burgers and Texas Toast.

Taking its place is a pizza
chain that recently struck gold
with a new partnership with L K
Food Services.

Papa John's is set to move to
their new home on Euclid Avenue
with a brand new structure that
the company hopes will help bol-
ster their cam us resence.

“W'e were 00 'ng to relocate

Students are looking forward
to a new eatery on campus that

restaurant.

“(The campus llardee's) was a
great place to grab a late night

snack. especially during finals

needed more late night eateries.

Hollywood on
record pace

Six films are on track to earn
$150 million during what may be
the biggest summer movie sea-
son ever, but disappointed Hol-
lywood executives don’t know
whether to break out the cham-
pagne or start firing people.

”1th half the summer gone.
there has yet to be a blockbuster
in the $200 million to $300 mil-
lion range. Godzilla, Deep Impact,
Armageddon, The Truman Show,
illulan and perhaps Lethal ii/éaptm
4 are heading toward the $120
million to $150 million range.

No mega-hits are on the hori-
zon. either. Saving Private Ryan,
which opens on Friday, likel '
will wow critics but may scare 0
many moviegoers because of its
graphic \1'olence.

The string of near—block-
busters, combined with well-per-
forming smaller movies, have put
the box office take seven percent
ahead of where it was at the same
time last summer, which was
itself a record season. But profits
are diluted by soaring produc-
tion and marketing costs.

Video store reopens
after Winter blizzard

Sta/frrpm‘t

After a nearly six-month
rebuilding project, one of cam-
pus’ closest video stores, Movie
\Varehouse on Euclid Ave., will
reopen its doors for business
today. The store closed when
record amounts of snowfall hit
Lexington in early February
causing the roof to collapse and
turning the building into a pile
of rubble.

Although insurance paid for
most of the building expenses.
Movie VVarehouse’s manage—
ment consultant Angela Forsee
said most of the financial bur—
den came from the lost time.

“The biggest financial set—
back was loss of revenue,” she
said. “But I have faith our cus-
tomers will come back.”

Much of tlat potential rev—
enue went to its competitor

down the street Film Festival.
Assistant manager Carrie Mut-
ter isn’t worried about losing
customers back to Movie \Vare-
house.

“When their store collapsed,
we gained several new cus-
tomers. But I don’t think their
reopening will have any effect
on our business, because our
new customers realized we have
better prices.”

Forsee said the store salvaged
onl ' l0 to 15 percent ofits orig-
inal inventory and the entire
com uter system was destroyed.
Wit the new computer system,
returning customers will have to
renew their memberships
before renting again.

As far any changes from the
old store, Forsee said “It's pret-
ty much the same except for
increasing our foreign selection
to better suit our customers.”

Bashing
of gays at
a new low

he (Ihristian (Loalition and more
I than a dozen other conservative
religious groups have launched a

5300.000 advertising campaign
against homosexuality. describing it as
a sin. a mental illness and a choice.

“hether or not it is a sin is a mat—
ter for philosophers and theologians.
Virtually every major scientific orga-
m22ti0n. including the American Psy-
chiatric Association, does not regard
homosexuality as a mental illness.

Furthermore, there is no scientific
evidence supporting the claims of
some conservatives that gays can be
“cured."

Neither science nor lo ic fit into
the Christian Coalition’s afcampai .
For even as they brand homosexuafi-fy
as a mental illness, the ads also claim
homosexuality is a choice.

Those suffering from depression,
anxiety attacks and other real mental
illnesses will no doubt be surprised to
learn their suffering was a matter of
choice.

' The only thing clear in this muddle
of illo ic is the political motivation
behin the ads. Newspaper ads are
not the method peo Ie of faith usually
choose to express their views on sin.
They are a way to score political
points.

If members of the Christian Coali-
tion are really concerned with saving
the souls of gay people, they should
refrain from making unfounded and
inflammatory statements.

If the ads are meant as election-
year propaganda, however, they are
probably doing exactly what they set
out to do —- not to heal but to (livide
Americans for political advantage -—-
which is the saddest commentary on
the matter.

Years at UK: 12

As your Board of Trustees representa-
tive, I will be dedicated to ensuring that
the concerns of staff at the L'niversity
are not overlooked. I will be an effective
voice not only for staff of the medical
center, but for the campus as a whole.

One of my initial acts, if elected, will
be to coordinate meetings with staff in
the various colle es to get first-hand
information on t e concerns of staff
campus-wide. Increased communication
among staff as a unit at the University,
increased staff representation and
employee benefits are among my prima—
ry concems.

As your representative, I will be a high
profile, effective, non-alienating voice
for staff during Board discussions just as
I have been active in the community with
my children's activities, Southland Chris-
tian Church, and as Santa to children of
low-income and single parent families.

Like many of you, I began my career
with the University at the bottom of the
ladder. In 1978 I pulled weeds and
maintained the ball fields for the Athlet-
ic department.

Shortly thereafter, I moved to Regu—
latory Services as a lab tech. Today I’m a
research analyst in the College of Agri-
culture. I‘ve experienced the best and
the worst of working for this institution.
The good times and the bad.

Specifically, for my first year as your
BOT representative, I want to:

V Build a working relationship with
the other B.().T. members.

V Monitor the “It's About Staff” pro-
ject. Is it working?

V Communicate to you what is going
on. We're in the dark about too many
issues and rojects.

V Work) toward equity in the benefits
and treatment between staff and faculty.

I think it is important that UK staff
have an opportunity to meet regularly to
find out what their primary issues and
concerns are. I have my own ideas, but
the first rule of consensus decision-mak-
ing is, “you can't decide by yourself.” I
don’t intend to break this rule.

I suggest the following as solutions to
the plummeting morale of UK employ-
ees.
V An independent staff ombudsper—
son to focus on employee relations and
labor issues that touch the entire campus
and med center. The HR department
cannot do it adequately. There are no
short cuts relative to work issues.

V A staff assembly or senate, (one
modeled on the Ag College Staff Coun-
cil for instance), will bring all of us
together for the benefit of the university.

V Rework the Performance Develop-
ment Partnership plan.

I began working on staff issues about
six years ago when a roup of us got
to [ether and formed w at is called the
C Staff Assoctation (L'KSA). I served
twr) terms as co-chair and worked the
remaining years with many ood people
towards our three goals; Sta Member on
the Board of Trustees, Staff Senate Coun-
cil and a Staff ()mbudsperson. With your
hel we finally made the first hurdle.

i oving towards meeting another
goal, I would work on organizing a Staff
Council so we can receive in ut from
throughout the Universny to identi?’ all
staffissues. I will work to establish a . taff
Ombud office, which would strive to
empower all staff.

Chan es will not take place ovemight.
It will ta e the participation of all of you
to make this a success. I promise to
devote as much energy in servin our
needs the next three years as fhave
devoted to staff issues the past six years.

I earned two Bachelor degrees and a
Master of Sc1ence degree from UK.
\‘Vhile a student I worked as a minimum
wa e dispatcher for the University
polgice where I gained an appreciation of
the University's diversity.

V I would ask for tnore resources:
specifically money and eople.
Although the sage tells us that the love
of money is the root of all evil, the lack
of it certainly causes its share of prob—
lems at UK. And achieving our goals,
such as becoming one of the top
research institutions, requires that we
not be under-staffed or under-funded.

V Without wisdom we are apt to
squander what money and people we do
have, so that no matter how big the bud-
get we’ll never have enough. Only
through wisdom can we retain the criti-
cal personnel needed to pursue all three
aspects of our mission: teaching.
research and public servrce.

It is impossible to make promises
about what I will do since no one has
had this position before, but one of my
strengths is the ability to reach deCIsions
through consensus, negotiation or corri-
promise.

I will listen to the concerns that are
communicated to me and will, as best I
can, make them known to others.
Through that process I hope to influ-
ence the decisions that are m
