A UK scrimmage without
boosters?

That’s exactly what UK men’s
basketball
coach Rick
Pitino has in
mind. Pitino
announced
yesterday
that he will
hold an intra-
squad scrim-
mage Mon-
day open
only to stu-
dents. PITINO

Only those with a valid stu-
dent identification will be admit-
ted to the scrimmage, which
will be held at Memorial Coli-
seum at 3:30 pm.

“I have always felt that the
students were the lifeline of the
team and the University," Pitino
said. “Students have to be treated
special.

“We are going to need all of
the students’ help for the next
couple of years. The students are
going to have to be vocal and
enthusiastic for us to win one
game.

“Contrary to belief, the stu-
dents are the most important
(fans) in the arena," Pitino said.
“We need a great deal of emotion
from the students. We need them
give us a real big home court
advantage."

Pitino said that once students
get more involved with the pro-
gram, then the boosters and sea

 

Wildcat scrimmage

coach Pitino says

son-ticket holders soon will
follow.

“You have to start with the
students," he said. “Once you
get the students to making noise
the entire game, then the rest (of
the crowd) is soon to follow."

Pitino said he held a similar
event when he was at Providence
College. Before the students-
only scrimmage, Pitino said, the
level of enthusiasm was not
very high at the Providence Ci~
vic Center.

“The Civic Center was dead. It
was like they were at the movies
or something,” Pitino said.
”They would come to the game
and talk and stuff and every once
in a while, they would stand up
and clap."

But that all changed once the
students were viewed as special.

“Now, the Civic Center is a
real home court advantage," Pit-
ino said. “Nobody wants to go
in there and play them anymore
because it’s sort of a rowdy
place. Students and even the sea«
son ticket holders are making
noise almost the entire game."

Pitino has some other ideas to
get UK students more involved
with the basketball program.

“Maybe see about taking
some on road trips," he said “i
don‘t know what (UK’s) policy
is on something like that, but
it‘s definitely worth looking
into. Also see about some in-
centivcs to get students to the
game early. i might even have a
questionand—answer forum be-
fore the game with the stu-
dents."

Police investigating rape complaint

By MICHAEL L JONES
Editorial Editor

UK police are investigating an
alleged rape that occurred at Hag gin
Hall earlier this week, a UK official
said last night.

“I’m aware that there is a com-
plaint filed,” UK Dean of Students
Doug Wilson said. “I'm aware. that
(UK police) are investigating it."

Officer A. Dobson, an evening dis-
patcher with UK police, said that a
rape report had been filed regarding
an incident at Haggin Hall earlier
this week, but Dobson said he had
not seen the report. Kernel report-
ers could not obtain a copy of the
complaint last night.

Two other Haggin residents.
who asked not to be identified, con-
firmed that a woman alleged that

she was raped in the residence hall
earlier this week.

Local social activist unable to receive
free counsel from the state, judge says

By MICHAEL L JONES
Editorial Editor

A Lexington district judge ruled
Tuesday at a pre-trail hearing that
Chris Bush, charged with criminal
trespassing and disorderly conduct
on the UK campus, was ineligible
to receive free counsel from the
state.

District Judge Louis Paisley said
that Bush, a local social activist,
can pay $500 to retain public de-
fender David Graves, or Bush can
defend himself.

“He said that I should be working
and paying for an attorney myself,”
Bush said. “I tried to explain to (the
judge) that I was active in a number
of political causes.”

Paisley also modified the ban
barring Bush from setting foot on
the UK campus. Under the new

modified ban, Bush can come to the
campus only to register for classes
offered during the Spring of I990.

Bush said that he was disappoint—
ed by the decision and that the
judge ignored numerous letters
from students and faculty asking
that he be allowed back on campus.

“I think it was horrible," Bush
said. “Stripping me of my public
defender was wrong. Not modifying
the ban was more wrong."

Bush’s trial is set for Feb. 6 at
8:30 am, but he said that the
whole issue of the ban “will be
moot by then, because if they let
me register for classes then i have
to be on campus to go to them."

Since Bush was not a registered
student during the fall semester, he
is ineligible for early registration,
according to the UK Registrar‘s of-
fice. To be able to register, he first

must apply to the Office oi Inder

graduate Admissions and be thL'L'Pl'
ed to the University. lt' Bush is: ad»
mitted to UK, he will be eligible to
register the first Monday after New
Year's Day.

“1 think the ban
harsh." he said.

The Admissions Office could not
be reached for comment, but accord-
ing to the UK’s i989-90 Bulletin,
Bush would have been eligible for
automatic acceptance it his ACT
composite score and high school
grade point average Were high
enough.

However, Bush said that he did
not know whether the UanCTSll\
would accept him under any t ll-
cumstances. if th it is the cast.

AIDS teleconference signals American

By KAKIE URCH
Senior Staff Writer

College administrators all Over
the United States used the technolo~
gy of the ‘80s to discuss the epi-
demic of the ‘803 during a live in-
ter-active teleconference on AIDS
yesterday.

Hundreds of college campuses,
including UK, received satellite
transmission of “AIDS in the Col-
lege Community: From Crisis to
Management," a conference present-
ed by the Ohio State University and
several national college service or-
ganizations.

UK students, administrators and
health professionals received the
transmission in Room 115 of the
Health Sciences Learning Center.

Ohio Governor Richard Celeste
said at the teleconference that al-
though he thinks that “if we ha-
ven’t gotten the message to young
people by the time they reach col-
lege, they may have already ex-
posed themselves to infection," col-
leges should be in the forefront of
educating people about AIDS.

Dr. Richard Keeling, an AIDS
specialist, said that college-age
Americans need special attention
from educators and health care pro-
fessionals about AIDS prevention
and care since they are statistically
at the highest risk for contracting
thedisease.

Keeling said most people with
AIDS contract the infection be-
tween the ages of 16 and 28, and
that 85 percent of the college popu-

lation falls into this age group.

A panel of experts, including
Keeling, an attorney, a social work—
er, a university administrator. a
university housing director and an
HIV-positive college student dis-
cussed issues affecting coliege cam-
puses and took calls from telecon-
ference attendees from the many
sites around the country.

Several Kentucky universities
and community colleges took part.
as well as all of UK’s benchmark
schools, many Ivy League schools,
the PAC-10 and the Big 10.

Rhonda Rivera of the Ohio State
University Law School, the attor-
ney on the panel, addressed legal is-
sues surrounding AIDS, including
concerns of lab employees, univer-
sity administrators and students.

albums of decade.

Analysis, Page 2.

Rivera said a university first
should “develop an AIDS policy
for the whole university or cam-
pus. Then, you‘ll need a small
working committee to deal with
case by case evidence."

UK has taken such steps by esta-
blishing a Universrty-wrde AIDS
policy adopted last year, and by
forming an AIDS Task Force.
headed by Vice Chancellor for Stu-
dent Affairs James Kuder.

UK also provides AIDS training
for its staff members. But faculty
members were not universally in-
cluded in the training program.

Campus-wide legal issues con-
cerning AIDS that arise include
testing ROTC students for AIDS
and discriminating against room~
mates who are perceived to have

in the case. of ROTC students,
who are periodically tested for the
disease by the military, Rivera rec-
ommended that a university refer
students to a confidential health de-
partment test site, which provides
pre- and post-test counseling that
the military does not provide.

In terms of a student‘s hesitance
to live w ith a person who has
AIDS or has tested positively for
the HIV virus, Rivera said: “We
know how AIDS is spread and it‘s
not by being roommates."

Rivera stressed to callers that the
case law surrounding the Vocation-
al Rehabilitation Act of 1973
states that it is illegal to discrimi-

They were superficial,
flashy, fun and now
they’re almost over

With that in mind, the most important task of the
‘80s still remains: ranking the top 10 albums. This
was decade were teeny boppers discovered MTV, punks
discovered commericalism (but not necessarily respect)
and Madonna made a fortune wearing a bra in public.
The ‘80s was the Xerox generation, if it had been done
we were willing to do it again. Anything from the ‘60s
or ‘70s (except disco) was hip and even New Age could
find listeners. No other decade could have both Boy
George and Public Enemy as its icons.

While MTV was responsible for the overplay of a lot
of mediocre to poor artists, it was a viable medium
which expanded music’s range. Towards the end of the
decade the music started to pay more attention to the
problems of society.

Four Kernel staff members have compiled lists
of their top 10 albums for the ‘80s and three
compiled their top 10 songs. Think we’re
completely wrong? If so get together you’re

Assistant Arts Editor

10. WAR
U2
This is. was and always will be U2’s golden hour.
The album is electric with such classics as “New
Year's Day“ and “Sunday, Bloody Sunday." War was
heavy with political content before they got too relig-
ious. The song “Seconds” will always be one of my fa~
vorite U2 songs.
9. BLACK CELEBRATION (1986)
Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode has always been considered just an-
other British pop-synth band, but they fooled all of us
by actually having substance. Some of its best materi—
al comes off this album. “Black Celebration” and “Fly
on the Windscreen” are two of the band‘s finest songs.
8. MEDL’SA (1987)
Clan of Xymox
This album is virtually unheard of but nonetheless
an excellent piece of vinyl. Clan of Xymox has a way
of creating the darkest and most desperate of moods,
worthy only of Morrissey. Its songs create a complete
haunting mood, mixed with intricate orchestration.
7. THE HURTING (1984)
Tears for Fears
Tears for Fears were not always the pop mcssiahs
that their second album, Songs from The Big Chair,
showed them to be. The Hurting was a look at the
world through a cynic's eyes. Roland Orzabal brings to
life the most demised view of love and uncontrollable
depression.
6. LIFE‘S TOO GOO!) (1988‘)
The Sugarcubes
Hearing lead singer Bjork's voice on such songs as
“Blue-Eyed Pop" and “Cold Sweat“ is enough reason
for this album to make my list. As if that weren't
enough. the Icelandic combo. which was touted by
Rolling Stone as the “world’s coolest band” brings an
audacious, uninhibited and frolicsome nature to all of
its songs.
5. DARKLANDS (1987)
Jesus and Mary Chain
Only the Jesus and Mary Chain can write a love
song which goes, “when she walks towards me I feel
something crawl beneath my skin." It’s morose atti—
tude towards life’s simpler pleasures is unequaled.
4. LOVE (1985‘)
The Cult
This album was made before The Cult discovered
how to use amplifiers. The band was still toying with
the notions of Indian spiritualism and witchcraft,
which is evident on such songs as “Brother Wolf, Sis-
ter Moon" and “Big Neon Glitter." The Cult may have
reached its sonic temple now, but it‘ll never be better
than on Love.

(1983)

3. THE HEAD ON THE DOOR (1985)
The Cure
Not the Cure‘s best album ever, but the best released
in the ‘80s Robert Smith and crew dally through
songs such as “Close to Me." while contemplating
melancholic moods on “A Night Like This" and “Sink-
ing," which is probably their best song.

2. THE LION AND THE COBRA (1987)
Sinead O'Connor

This album is not only one of the best of the ‘80s,
but of all time. No exaggeration. O‘Connor's eerie
voice has an intensity never before heard in music.
Every song is different, ranging from tragic ballads of
lost love (“Troy" and “Just Like U Said It Would B")
to infectious dance tunes like "(I Want) Your Hands On
Me."

I. THE QUEEN IS DEA!) (1986)
The Smiths

Morrissey, rock's fallen martyr, and musical prodigy
Johnny Marr have created an album more sorrow-ridden
and moving than any album I’ve ever heard. It chroni-
cles the angst of lost youth, unrequitted love and unful-
filled drcams. They tease politics in “The Queen is
Dead“ while getting to the core of reality in “I Know
It's Over" and “Never Had No One Ever."

By MICHAEL L. JONES
Editorial Editor

10. REGATTA DE BLANC
The Police
This is the album that began the Police sound. It
has their first hit “Message In a Bottle" and the classic
“On Any Other Day.” The Police when they were
young and having fun.

(1980)

9. PURPLE RAIN (1984)
Prince and the Revolution
“When Doves Cry” alone makes this album worth
buying. Prince brings together all of his musical in-
fluences and unites them with his vision of sex as
spiritual salvation (“Darling Nikki” and “When Doves
Cry”). Prince caused his own sexual revolution.

8. GREEN (1988)
R.E.M

Maybe it was the album that made them commercial
sweethearts, but no one can say they sold out. Lyrical‘
ly “World Leader Pretend" is the greatest song the band
ever did. This album was a throwback to the sounds of
Fables of the Reconstruction and it worked. And who
didn‘t love the wah wah pedal in “Stand?”

7. UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY
U2
U2 is a live band and they shine on this album. It
has all the early hits “Gloria," “Sunday Bloody Sun-
day” and “New Years Day." War is by far their best
studio work, but this is the best thing they've ever re-
leased.

(1987)

6. LIFE’S TOO GOO!) (1988)
Sugarcubes
Bjork Gudmunsdottir is one of the best things to
happen to rock music in the ’803. Anyone who didn’t
melt when they first heard “Cold Sweat” is not human.
The Sugarcubes brought back an originality that rock
had lost long ago. Definiwa the ‘805 coolest band.

5. THE QUEEN IS DEAD (I986)
The Smiths
Morrissey is not just a lyricist. he is a philosopher.
His lyrics and Johnny Marrs’ excellent guitar work
make this album a classic. “I Know It’s Over" is a
classic piece of self analysis. “I know it’s over/And it
never really began/But in my heart it was so real..."

4. NOTHING’S SHOCKING
Jane’s Addiction
A slam in the face to those who thought hard rock
was dead. Jane’s Addiction are the musical heirs of
both Led Zeppelin and the Sex Pistols (Glam Punks?)
“The Mountain Song,” “Admit It Ted...” and “Ocean-
si/c" restored my faith in modem metal.

(1989)

3. THE LION AND THE COBRA (198x)
Sinead O‘Connor
There was nothing that could have prepared the
world for Sinead O’Connor. She has it all; beautiful
music, heart-felt lyrics and a voice that could break
glass. I was craving a second album the moment after I
heard the first Perfection!

2. IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS

(1988)
Public Enemy

They caused a revolution in rock, rap and black cul~
ture with this disk — over one hour of black national-
ism. “Bring the Noise,” “Black Steel in the Hour of
Chaos” and “She Watch Channel Zero" showed the na-
tion where they were heading. Chuck D is the Mal-
colm X of the Pepsi generation.

1. TRACY CHAPMAN (1988)
Tracy Chapman
This time all the critics were right. Tracy Chapman
did what no one else could do — she made an album
full of of reality backed with music so appealing, the
public wanted to hear it. Suzanne Vega started a folk
revolution, but Chapman personified it.

10. POWER. CORRUPTION & LIES
(1985)
NewOrder

On New Order’s second album, small hints of Joy
Division creep into Power, Corruption Jr Lies. This
album, released in Europe in 1983, has more sub-
stance titan later work from New Order (although their
latest release, Technique, isn’t half bad either).

9. THE SWING (1984)

INXS

Innovative songs like “Dancing on the Jetty" and
“Original Sin,” a controversial song about interracial
relationships, make this album noteworthy. The Aus-
tralian band’s fourth effort effectively blends Michael
Hutchence’s voice with a synthesized sound, which de-
fines the album.

8. THE LION AND THE COBRA (I988)
Sinead O’Connor

Irish singer Sinead O’Connor shines. Her voice is
piercing but beautiful. The songs on this album are
thoughtful, eloquently written and wrought with emo-
tion.

7. WAR (1983)
U2

When I think of the band I used to love, I think of
this album. This was the first U2 album I ever heard
and is my favorite to this day for many reasons. Co-
gent and political, War is outstanding.

6. EAST SIDE STORY (1981)
Squeeze

Difford and Tilbrook make quite a team. The versa-
tility of this album is what makes it so appealing.
Any band that can get away with having several lead
singers and can maintain uniformity deserves to be rec-
ognized. For any Paul Carrack fan, he still was with
Squeeze back then. “Tempted,” in which Carrack sings
lead, is among the most well-known on this album.
But every song merits a listen.

5. SUREER ROSA
The Pixies

(1988)

If Dolittle is the only album you've heard from the
Boston-based Pixies, check out this one. On this ear-
lier album, The Pixies prove that they can write and
play a wide range of musical styles. And don’t let the
album cover stop you from listening to Surfer Rosa.

4. RECKONING (1983)
R.E.M.

All of R.E.M.’s albums are great. Picking a favorite
is as hard as a mother having to pick her favorite
child. Reckoning is the most uniform of their al-
bums, and Document runs a close second. “Harbor-
coat,” “Pretty Persuasion,” “Letter Never Sent" and “
(Don’t Go Back To) Rockville” are among the best
songs.

3. SO (1986)
Peter Gabriel

With the exception of “Sledgehammer" and “Big
Time,” which got way too much airplay, each song
on the album is beautiful. My personal favorites are
“Mercy Street” and “That Voice Again.”

2. LONDON CALLING (1980)
The Clash

What can I say? This album set the stage for much
of the music that came out the ‘808. London Calling
is revolutionary, and so are The Clash.

1. MISSION OF BURMA (1988)
Mission of Burma

Mission of Burma can do no wrong. This double al-
bum is a compilation of the band's best songs. Unf0r~
tunately, the band broke up soon after this album was
released. Noteworthy tracks include “That's How I Es-
caped My Cenain Fate," “That's When I Reach For
My Revolver" and “Academy Fight Song.”

10. (tie) TATTOO YOU (1981)
Rolling Stones

Keith and Mick rolled into the ’805 and put out with
one of their strongest effort in years. “Start Me Up"
was one of their best songs and “Waiting For a Friend"
had the feel of of some of their earlier material. Tatoo
You signified that the Stones were still capable of
producing great rock ’n' roll.

10. (tie)GREEN (1988)
R.E.M.

The sound of America‘s favorite alternative band be-
came the focus of their latest album. They still wrote
powerful songs about problems specific, “Orange
Crush,” general, “World Leader Pretend” and “Turn
You Inside Out,” and thoughtful ballads, “You Are the
Everything."

9.LONDON CALLING (1980)
The Clash
The last of the punkers spewed out one of the most
important albums of the decade. Not only did the mu-
sic stand out, but it hit home.

8. 1999 (1982)
Prince
- The Minneapolis sound of Prince went nationwide
with the release of the double album. It oozed energy
and funk in songs like “1999” and “Little Red Cor-
'vette.” He combined soul with furious guitar to create
an influential sound that would grow as time passed.

7. BORN IN THE U.S.A.(1984)
Bruce Springsteen

The music had a hard-hitting message that many
people misinterpreted for patriotism. Springsteen was
at his best because the songs were more diverse than
his other albums. I mean who thought Springsteen
would ever have a dance song (“Dancin’ in the Dark”)?
While all the songs are strong the title cut defines the
rest of the album.

6.TIIE SWING (1984)
IN XS
The Michael Hutchence-led group mixed their sultry
sound and driving beat on this greatly underrated al-
bum. “The Swing,” “Original Sin” and “I Send a Mes—
sage” were the best songs on a great album.

5.APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION (1987)
Guns n’ Roses

Their success and sound spawned a whole wave of
heavy metal bands, but we can’t hold that against
them. It isn’t their fault that bands like Britny Foxx
still exist. “Welcome to the Jungle" and “Paradise
City” were two raging anthems that emitted sheer un-
bridled force. But make no mistake without Axl Rose,
Guns is just another metal band.

4.VIOLENT FEMMES (1983)
Violent Femmes
This album was one of the best alternative under-
ground albums of the decade. “Add it Up” and “Blister
in the Sun” were two of the better songs on the album.
The band was a mixture of personalities from the geni-
al Gordon Gano to the portentous Brian Ritchie.

3. SPEAKING IN TONGUES (1983)
Talking Heads
Their 1983 release featured an incredibly diverse
sound with “Burning Down The House" leading the
way. Songs like “Girlfriend is Better” and “Swampy”
were extremely danceable.

2.50 (1987)
Peter Gabriel

The quirky sound of the man who produced “Shock
the Monkey" matured and bloomed on this album
which ran from “We Do What We're Told” and “Don’t
Give Up" to “Sledge Hammer.” Even the popular
songs like “Big Time” still had a message of contempt
for those who were self-important.

1. THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE (1984)
U2
U2‘s guitar work paced this spirited album and the
thoughtful, sometimes political lyrics stood out.
While “Pride" and “Coming Home" garnered all the at-
tentiom, the rest of the songs on the album should be
listend to on their own merits.

AIDS teleconference signals colleges

Continued from page I

nate against people with AIDS on
the basis of their health condition.

Rivera also said that colleges
need to evaluate their student group
insurance and student health pro-
grams to ensure that students with
AIDS can get the treatment they
need.

A caller from University of
Louisville expressed concern that
faculty insurance groups do not
cover the cost of AZT, one of the
most commonly prescribed treat-
ments for people with AIDS.

In examining a case study of
AIDS discrimination at a fictious
college, all the panelists stressed
that openness in discussing AIDS

is the only way to deal with the ep-
idemic on campus effectively.

Leonard Goldberg, vice president
of student affairs at the University
of Richmond (Va.) said that people
can create openness through several
different channels.

Goldberg said that university
magazines and alumni publications
are good ways to reach parents, and
that campus newspapers and radio
stations can be effective in reaching
students.

Orientation programs, freshman
composition and speech classes and
biology classes can be used to rein-
force information for students as
well, Goldberg said.

Panelists said colleges need to be

open about and supportive of peo-
ple who contract the disease.

Service social worker Laura Pinsky
said that although AIDS infection
is spreading rapidly through the
heterosexual college community,
due to the disease's long incubation
period many of the people being di-
agnosed are members of the gay
population. Pinsky said studies
have shown that “those men who
are out of the closet are most able
to follow safe sex guidelines.”

Therefore, “Universities have a
responsibility to support gay activ-
ities, gay organizations and gay
pride as part of their HIV education
programs."

Support should include financial

support and provision of advisors
and counselors who are gay-
knowledgeable and gay-positive,
Pinsky said.

Even at a university that follows
all recommendations about educa—
tion and policy, the notion of "im-
mortality" among many college-
age people can hinder effons for be-
havior change, panelists said.

David Kamens, a college student
with AIDS, said his case was an
example of this attitude.

“I remember sitting in a class-
room listening to a doctor talk
about AIDS and it went right over
my head,” Kamens said. “Eight
months later I was diagnosed with
AIDS.”

Famous authors to attend book fair today

By DAVID A. HALL
Staff Writer

The eighth annual Kentucky
Book Fair will be held tomorrow at
the Kentucky Department for Li-
braries and Archives in Frankfort,

with more than 90 national and re- '

gional authors participating.

The fair, sponsored by The
Frankfort State Journal and the
Kentucky Department for Libraries
and Archives, will give the public
an opponunity to meet the variety
of authors that will be selling and
signing books.

The Kentucky Book Fair began
in 1982 to “bring together 80 or 90
authors to sell their books, and use
the profits to give to needy librar-
ies," said Carl West, editor of the
State Journal and founder of the
book fair.

Money generated by the fair will
be used to help improve academic
and public libraries throughout the
state.

West said the fair is unique “in
that it caters only to an author and
the reading public. There are no
hotdog stands or dancing girls.”

“It (the fair) is a place where the

authors can meet the reading pub-
lic, discuss their works, and sell
their books at a discount,“ he said.

Tomorrow’s fair is expected to
have about 90 authors on hand,
with over 160 titles available.
Book subjects will include novels,
biographies, poetry, basketball,
gardening, cooking, and several
others.

Authors of local interest include:
John Ed Pearce, a Pulitzer Prize-
winning writer for the Courier-
Journal and a member of the Ken-
tucky Journalism Hall of Fame,
who will be signing his new book

on the history of the Ohio River:
Phyllis (ieorge Brown, Kentucky’s
former first lady, who will sign her
book on Kentucky crafts; country
singer Tom '1‘. Hall, a Kentucky
native who recently wrote a chil—
dren‘s book, and Sallie Bingham,
the daughter of late Courier-Joumal
publisher Barry Bingham Sr., who
will sign her latest book, Pride and
Prejudice.

The fair will be held tomorrow
from 9 am. to 5 pm. at the De-
partment for Libraries and Archives
at 300 Coffee Tree Road in Frank
fort.

Outsiders may not approve test scores

Associated Press

FRANKFORT, Ky. — A plan
to consider poverty levels in figur-
ing test-score deficiencies has the
backing of the state school board
and Department of Education, but
