everal events planned to honor Constitution

By CHER] COLLIS
Staff Writer

UK will commemorate the Consti-
tution‘s 200th anniversary today at
10:30 am. with a ceremony at the
Lexington Community College.

The ceremony will begin a month-
long series of events celebrating the
Constitution.

Local dignitaries and community
representatives will give brief pre-
sentations to students and the public
about the significance of this day.

“We feel the University's role is to
bring increased awareness to the
Constitution,“ said Ann R. Garrity,

assistant to the Chancellor for the
Lexington campus, “especially the
role of education in maintaining a
Democratic society."

The ceremony will feature a rare
copy of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, owned by Jefferson County
and the Gallery of the Republic flag
collection. The exhibit is courtesy of
Philip Morris USA and is on tour
through the LCC system. It will be
kept in LCC’s library for security
reasons.

A number of historical American
flags will also be displayed in glass
to form as a backdrop to the occa-

Campus blood drive
breaks old record

By ANDREA BIDDLE
Contributing Writer

Blood donors broke a two-day re-
cord this week with 167 pints being
the most units ever collected for the
year's first campus drive.

“UK students always come
through for us,“ said Fran Murphy,
a nurse from Central Kentucky
Blood Center.

“The ‘Paws' for life" blood drive,
sponsored by the Blood Center and
the Community Affairs Committee
of SGA, drew the record total with
45 units coming from first-time do-
nors, said drive coordinator Martha
Osborne.

This has been the best drive held
at the Student Center Ballroom
since donations began here in 1981,
she said. “The student government
did a bang-up job getting the word
out and Baskin-Robbins is to be

commended for providing yogurt to
refresh the donors," Osborne said.
Each donor also received a “Paws
to Donate" T-shirt.

Mike Allen, a freshman music
major, donated blood for the first
time this week and said he would
gladly do it again. “If I needed it I'd
sure want it to be there," he said in
fear of shortages. He also said he
felt it was his duty as a college stu-
dent to do something responsible.

Allen was also relieved that donat-
ing was practically painless. “I real-
ly thought it would hurt more than it
did,“ he said.

Some people tried to donate, but
had to be turned down.

Lisa Adams, 17, a freshman nurs-
ing major, was one of several who
registered but was not accepted. She
had given blood once before.

The age limit to donate falls be-

Seminars offer learning
before and after games

By JAYE BEELER
Staff Writer

Action begins before the opening
kickoff and lasts after the final whis—
tle on football Saturdays, thanks to
the new UK Saturday Seminar Pro-
grams.

The programs, which are free and
open to the public, consist of lec-
tures, tours, demonstrations and
performances most Saturday mom-
ing up to Nov. 21, said Phil Greas-
ley, coordinator of the seminar pro-
grams. The seminars originated last
year and are intended to show off
outstanding UK programs, profes-
sors and researchers.

“The seminars are designed for
people. like parents and alumni
from out of town coming early for
the football games, to show a bal-
ance between athletics and academ-
ics at UK," Greasley said.

The programs demonstrate a di-
versity at the University, featuring
topics ranging from magnetic reso—
nance imaging and spectroscopy to
healthy eating habits, Greasley said.

One seminar is observing new
high technological ways in medicine.

The magnetic resonance imaging
and spectroscopy center seminar
will demonstrate the ability of the
MRI to produce detailed pictures of
patients’ internal structures and of
the MRS to produce detailed chemi-
cal and biological analysis.

“The research we are doing at the
center is kind of like Star Trek —— to
go where no man has gone before,"
said Stanford Smith, director of in-
struction at the magnetic resonance
imaging and spectroscopy center.

The seminar on eating habits will
include a luncheon and will discms
dietary habits in relationship to car-
dioscular diseases, obesity, diabetes
and hypertension.

“High-risk factors, which are
prevalent in Kentucky, are cigarette
smoking, high blood cholesterol,
high blood pressure, diabetes melli'
tus and obesity,“ said Bernhard

Hennig, department of nutrition and
food sciences.

“These characteristics point to in-
creased danger of heart disease.”

“The seminars are UK‘s commit-
ment of excellence and academic.
We‘re also trying to build opportuni-
ties for people to mingle with out-
standing professors and UK offi-
cials,“ Greasley said.

Saturday events and activities are
as scheduled.

The “(flags) are quite beautiful,"
said Allen Edwards, director of the
Lexington Community College. Ed-
wards and Garrity have been plan-
ning the ceremony for two months
since the president’s office asked
them last spring to arrange these
events.

UK President David Roselle will

sary as being a community cele-
bration, Edwards said.

their commitment to their Demo-
cratic values that it maintains,“
Garrity said.

The replica will be put in a time
capsule and placed in the cor-
nerstone of the new LCC building. It
will then be opened for the Constitu-
tion‘s 300th celebration.

During the presentation. Fayette

Andrew Melechinsky lectures to students outside the law school
yesterday afternoon. Melechinsky has been arrested 43 times on
visits to other universities. He has visited a total of 76 universities,
including UK, out of his goal of 180.

 

By THOMAS J. SULLIVAN
Editorial Editor

Andrew Melechinsky had an
unusual way of celebrating the
bicentennial of the US. Constitu-
tion yesterday — he picketed the
UK Iawschool.

Melechinsky walked up and
down the sidewalk in front the
building on S. Limestone Street
carrying a sign that proclaimed
“this is a den of criminals."

Name tags on his chest bore
the phrases “the court system is
utterly corrupt" and “there‘s a
stench from the bench."

A crowd of about 40 law stu-
dents had gathered around him
at one point as he proceeded to
tell them that their professors
are “teaching the students how to
break the law rather than to
honor it and implement it."

 

Protestor picks UK _
for picket location I

Melechinsky said that he has
been preaching this message at
law schools around the nation.

UK was his 76th school because
“it Was more convenient to come
here instead of Indiana," he said.

Melechinsky said he isn‘t quite
welcome when he preaches.

“I‘ve been hauled off to jail 43
times," he said. “(1) haven’t hurt
anybody, haven‘t harmed any-
body — you tell me how that can
happen in the land of the free and
brave."

He said that the reasons have
varied, but the most common is
that he was “breaking regula-
tions."

Melechinsky said he isn‘t
looking for trouble. “I am not in-
terested in getting into anymore
trouble than I am now.“

“All I know is I‘ve got to keep

Van Horn hopes he’s ready for the Big Apple

By mDDJONES

SportsEditor

They say the neon lights are
bright on Broad-
way, but Darrin
Van Horn wants to

be the brightest
lightof all.

The UK sopho—
more has said
goodbye to the
Continental [M
and hello to Mad-
ison Square Garden. The big time is
calling. From now on, his junior

middleweight boxing gloves will be
laced with a little more style.

“They say if you don‘t play in
New York, you don't play,“ Van
Horn‘s father and manager G.L.
said. “We‘re here to play New
York.“

The Van Horn‘s are not in the Big
Apple to play around. This is serious
business. And Darrin knows it.

"All the boxing media are going to
be there ringside,“ Van Horn said.
"I got to look good for the fight. You
got to look good the first time if you
want to come back.“

Van Horn‘s premier performance
comes tonight in a 10-round bout

against Norberto Bueno of Chicago.
The fight will be televised by
WKYT-TVatll:30p.m.

Although the 18-year-old Van Horn
is giving away six years in age, he
will step through the ropes with a
far better record.

Van Horn sports an unblemished
31-0 mark with 20 knockouts. Ring
Magazine ranks him as a Class A
fighter - a world class boxer just
below contender status.

Bueno is 13-6 and in his last fight.
was dropped to the trial unconscious
by WBA welterweight champion
Marvin Starling.

The tale of the tape is even. with

both fighters standing 5-IooHi and
weighing 156 pounds. But Ring Mag
azine only puts Bueno in the Class C
rank — a talented 6-round fighter;
an opponent-type club fighter.

The numbers all add up to the an-
swer that Bueno is not very bueno.
But don‘t tell that to Van Horn.

"He‘s a real tough guy." Van
Horn said. “All Mexican fighters are
tough."

The elder Van Horn agreed. No-
body can be taken lightly when
you‘re this far into the game.

"He‘s a heavy-handed, typical
Mexican fighter." G.L. said. “He

to Murphy. a l7-year-old can give

mission. Individuals are also auto-
matically turned away if they are on
antibiotics. have a cold or have a
history of hepatitis.

The entire donating process takes
about 30-45 minutes from start to
finish. Murphy said.

First. prospective donors are
screened to see if they qualify to
give blood. Medical histories are
checked. mini physicals are given
and. if these individuals pass. then
all systems are go. Murphy said.

That‘s the easy part.

Next comes the little prick in the
arm Then the wait — which often
seems like an eternity — until one
pint of blood is collected.

Barry Noffsinger didn‘t mind the
wait This senior marketing major
has a rare blood type and feels good
about helping those in need. He‘s
also cleaning out his system at the
same time. “Supposedly. it makes
you feel better physically." he said.

“It‘s every healthy person‘s re-
sponsibility to donate.“ said fresh-
man Tom Mathews. “If everyone
did we wouldn‘t have to worry about
any type of shortage.“

Dana Michels. a junior majoring
in education, gives blood all the time
even though she‘s terrified of nee-
dls. “It doesn't scare me to five
blood." she said. “But it would
scare me to get blood."

Fear of getting AIDS keeps some
people from donating blood. Murphy
stressed that there is no way this
viris can can be contracted from
donation. “Everything we use is ste-
rile.“ she said. Each blood bag has
its own needle attached and after
use it is cut off and thrown away.
Murphy said.

She also stressed how important it
is to give blood. The center needs
200 donors each day to assist pa-
tients in this area. she said.

Last year's 35 campus drives
helped raise 2,805 pints of blood. not
counting students. staff and faculty
who donated at the center. Osborne
said. Each pint taken can be divided
to help three patients. So these driv-
es alone helped over 8.400 people
last year because the campus cared
enough to give. she said.

The next campus drive is sched-
uled for Sept. 30 and is to be spon-
sored by the Army ROTC. Donors
who gave this week and want to give
again will have to wait 56 days be-
fore donating again. Murphy said.

al that person is and promise of
leadership" said Raymond Betts. di-
rector of the University Honors Pro-
gram.

The Rhodes Scholarship. estab-
lished in 1903. consists of two years
of graduate work at Oxford Univer-
sity with a possible third year rene-
wal. Seventy-seven scholarships are
awarded annually to students from
18 contries and five continents. The
United States can give 32 awards.
which is the largest number of

scholarships that one country can
give.

This award is highly sought after.
“It is the most prestigious under-
graduate scholarship. The success of
Rhodes Scholars has been so high
that it has added to the prestige of
it."Bettssaid.

The scholarship is not easy to re-
ceive. “They want people who are
not simply joiners but individuals
who in the orgainizations in which

they participate play a significant
role." Betts said.

According to Betts. the last time
the University of Kentucky had a re-
cipient was in the 19505. Betts said.
“this has nothing to do with the
quality of the students. it has to do
with the nature of the competition

During the interview portion of the
competition. Betts said the finalists
are asked questions such as. Was
the Soviet Union proper in postpon-
ing information on the Chernobyl nu-

clear accident. or should they have
informed the world immediately?
What disadvantages occurred. in
your opinion. from that delay?
“They range from hypothetical
questions. which are ageless. to
practical questions. which are of im-
mediate concern.“ Betts said.
The meeting will be held today
from 4:30-5 pm. in the Gaines Cen-
ter for the Humanities. “To put it
mildly. it‘s the Lambourgini of the
scholarship vehicles." Betts said.

it's been difficult to do in a three-

The 1987418 Center Sunday Series
at the Singletary Center for the
Arts, which kicked off this week,
will include more than 30 perfor-
mances from September 1937 to May
1988.

It will present a diverse arrange-
ment of musical styles along with
other complementary forms of artis-
tic entertainment.

As among the shows offered will
be performances by everyone from
a flutist to a Spanish and Latin
American soprano and guitar duo to
a lecture on “Gems of Medieval Illu-
mination at UK." the promise will
not be difficult to fulfill.

This Sunday, Gordon Cole will
give a flute recital.

On Sunday. September 27, Lucian
Stark. the Chairman of Piano Divi—
sion at the School of Music will per-
form an all—Brahms program, con-
sisting of a sample of many of the
various types of music Brahms
wrote. Stark. in an interview earlier
this week, said he is presenting this
type of program “because I have at-
tended those (benefit) concerts, and
a lot of young people go to those. So
I have tried to fill out the program
with some of Brahms‘ greatest hits,
so to speak."

Among some of the other presen-
tations will be a lecture by Robert

Jim Belushi gets act together,
dodges ill fate of his brother

By BOB THOMAS
Associated Press

CULVER CITY, Calif. — It's sur-
prising to find Jim Belushi occupy-
ing an office in the Myrna Loy build‘
ing at Lorimar studios ~ or any
office. for that matter.

Belushi behind an executive's
thsk? He would seem more in char-
acter behind a row of beer bottles at
asaloon.

Yet he can br found these days in
the White Horse Productions suite of
the Loy building. Lorimar, new
owner of MGM studios. has renamed
landmarks after MGM immortals.
Just so you won‘t think that he has
gone too straight, the office contains
such mementos as a football auto-
graphed by Chicago Bears stars and
a genuine Jim McMahon headband.

It does appear that Belushi has
changed his act, despite a recent
misdemeanor battery and assault
charge stemming from a traffic inci—
dent. He's even billed as James Be-
lushi in his new Tri~Star film, “The
Principal."

Belushi stars with Lou Gossett Jr.
and Rae Dawn Chong as principal of
a seemingly unsalvageable inner-
city high school. He describes his

 

“I got fired from “Saturday Night Live’ at the
same time as I was getting a divorce. It was a
period of my life when I wouldn’t grow up."

Jim Belushi,
actor

role of Rick Latimer as "a lost soul.
as I was a few years ago. "

“I got fired from ‘Saturday Night
Live‘ at the same time as l was get-
ting a divorce," he said. “It was a
period of my life when I wouldn‘t
grow up. It was the same thing with
Rick Latimer. You need something
to turn you around. and the respon-
sibility of the school does it for Rick
Latimer; he realizes that these kids
needa lot."

Belushi admitted that the 1982
drug death of his brother. John. con-
tributed to his tailspin. Jim dabbled
in the drug culture during his “hip
period“ in the 1970s. but has not had
a drug problem. Beer was some-
thing else

“I did this play in which I drank
three beers a show. eight shows a
week," he said “After the show I'd
have a couple of beers I was in that

show for four months. and by the
time it ended I was a heavy drinker.

“Then I went on ‘Saturday Night
Live.‘ and it had gotten away from
me. At one point I got fired. It
wasn‘t because I was drinking . . I
wasn‘t playing the game. I wasn't
playing by the rules . I was being
apunk.

“When I got tired. it
slappedmearound. hesaid

For a time Belushi seemed in dan
ger of becoming a carbon copy of
his famous brother That changed
last year In the highly dramatic
“Salvador." he played a hard-tint»
ing rock disc jockey "About Last
Night" cast him as a toulrmouthed
participant in the singles scene

“As a result of both pictures. 'l‘ri
Star and Lorimar said. ‘UK. let's
gamble on him.‘ ” said Belushi His
company is developing projects Unt-
is a script about ll) Ian Thomas

Viewpoint

Politicians should
decide Bork’s fate
after the hearings

Washington has not been this excited since the Iran-con-
tra hearings. When Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell
Jr. announced he was stepping down from his position on
the court, the Reagan administration saw its last chance to

leave its mark on history.

When President Reagan announced his replacement for
Powell, Federal Appeals Court Judge Robert Bork, conser-
vatives praised the decision, hailing Bork as one of the
most qualified nominees for the Supreme Court in this half

of the century.

Liberals cried out that the the former Yale law profes-
sor would take the United States’ judicial system back to a

one resembling the Old West.

Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., chairman of the senate judi-
ciary committee, said he would personally lead the attack
against Bork. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.. also pledg-

ed to help lead the fight.

Meanwhile, political action committees began lobbying
members of the judiciary committee to either approve or
reject the president‘s nomination.

All of this before the confirmation hearings even got un-

derway.

The members of the panel who have already pro-
claimed their adamant approval or disapproval of the Yale
law professor have defeated that process as the media has
turned the entire confirmation hearings into a liberal vs.

conservative battle.

A CELEBRATION OF CITIZENSHIP

Our Kentucky:

Constitution

a beautiful, telling document

“We the People of the United
States. in Order to form a more per-
fect Union, establish justice, imure
domestic Tranquility, provide for
the common defense, promote the
general Welfare, and secure the
Blessings of Liberty to ourselves
and our Posterity, do ordain and es-
tablish this Constitution for the Unit-
ed States of America.“

This great preamble resounds
throughout the land. across the gen-
erations of 200 years. It has become
so much a part of us, the terrible
temptation is to take it for granted
—— or ignore it altogether.

We do so at our greatest peril.

On that day — Sept. 17, 1787. when
all l2 state delegations approved the
Constitution of the United States.
there set in motion a plan, an outline
for national life.

It would become more than a pre-
scription for survival. It was a logi-
cal, compassionate. innovat
