:7 Student denied access to library

 

  

By Kathy Radlng
Assistant News Editor

After midnight, photo identification is required
for entrance to the Margaret I. King Library.

But Wednesday between 2 and 3 a.m. engineering
junior Jakim Lanier said he was denied entrance to
the library b the security guard even though he had
his student I .

“I brought him my ID,” Lanier said. “He said he
didn’t like the tone of my voice. He wouldn’t let me
in.”

Lanier said all he did was approach the guard and
say, “Here’s my ID.”

When asked if ossible instances exist when
someone with identi cation would not be allowed in
the library, director Paul Willis said, “There
shouldn’t be, no.”

Judy Brown of King Library circulation said any-
one with picture identification should be admitted by
the security guards.

“Between midnight and 7 a.m. you need to have

KeNTIiCKY

an ID to get into the library,” Brown said.

Regarding claims made b Lanier, Brown said,
“That’s a private issue that’s alieady been handled.

There were some extenuating circumstances with
his case. I feel this is a situation that is resolved now.”

Lanier said when he originally came to the library
with his roommate, he didn’t have an identification.
He said the guard told him he wou d have to have
one to get in.

Lanier said he complained to his friend about hav—
ing to go back and get his ID, but he did so anyway.

Upon his return, Lanier said the guard told him
he couldn’t come in and to go home. Lanier said he
went past the guard into the library anyway, and the
guard came after him and forced him to leave.

“I didn’t think he had the right to say who gets in
and who doesn’t,” Lanier said.

Brown said she did not want to comment further
on the situation but said Lanier did come talk to her
about it.

The identification requirement for library
entrance has been in effect since March 18 of last

Apathy rampant

The high level of student apa—

changed that, despite both can-
didates’ active courting of the
Generation Xers’ votes.

calls the Generation Xers’ “con-
nital cynicism.”

“At best, Gen X is bored by
politics. At worst, it hates poli-
tics,” he said while addressing
students at the University of
Southern California recently.

According to Dione, the basis
of this apathy is mainly the qual-
ity of political debate in this
country. UK students a ee.

“There’s not much 'fference
in today’s candidates. Both par-
ties, and the system in general,
are unresponsive to thoneeds of
young people,” said political sci—
ence senior Matt Morris.

“Many times it’s a choice
between the lesser of two candi-
dates I vote because I have a
right to, not because I feel m
vote will make much difference.

Morris is not alone.

More than 37 million 18- to
24- ear—olds are not affiliated
wit a political party, and only
20 ercent of them voted in the
19 4 elections, down 35 percent
from 1992’s 20—year high.

According to a recent MTV
poll, 64 percent of us youngsters
don’t have a political hero, and
only 19 percent say they are
politicall active.

days.

was a younger, more change-ori-

“They could identi with Bill
Clinton. He was on TV, he
was young and he represented

His courtship of the Genera-
tion Xers on television and the
frequently repeated scenes of
him playing his saxo hone and
attending arties, com ined with
MTV’s Eock the Vote” cam-
paign, were enough to make him
president, Miller said.

And while MTV is a ain try-
ing to rally young peop e under
its current “Choose or Lose”
champaign, today’s young vot-
ers, according to Dione, “now
understand that negative,
money-driven electoral politics
is really about ‘false choices’”
and realize that MTV’s slogan
should actually be “Choose and
Lose.”

“Ironically, as young people
begin to understand politics,
they grow to hate it even more,”

year. Before the mandatory check in, Brown said
patrons entering and leaving the library after mid-
night had to sign themselves in and out.

That policy was discontinued because people
wrote illegibly or used phony names, Brown said.

“We can make it legible. We know this is the per-
son there,” Brown said. “We have documentation
you were here now."

Brown said requiring libra visitors to show
identification upon entering and eaving the building
and having the security guards sign them in and out
make the building safer.

“If there were some sort of incident, we’ve got a
record,” she said. “If we had to evacuate you know
who was in here. Students should feel safer too.”

Willis said the ID policy in place to protect
library patrons.

' “We try to accommodate people,” he said.

Lanier said he does not understand why the guard
did not allow him to enter the library after he
brought his identification.

“His job is to let people in," Lanier said.

mum” ”3W8 sentenced to death
SAN JOSE, Calif. —- Polly Klaas’s
murderer was sentenced to death yester~
day, moments after outraging her family by claim-
ing the 12—year—old girl told him just before she
died that her father molested her.

“Burn in hell, Davis!” Marc Klaas cried out,
lunging at Richard Davis after Davis made his
shocking allegation. Klaas was led from the court-
room by officers. Addressing the court before for—
mal sentencing, Davis was talking about problems
in his interrogation when he said, “The main rea—
son I know I did not attempt any lewd act that
night was because of a statement the young girl
made to me while walking up the embankment:
‘Just don’t do me like my Dad.”

Outside the courtroom later, Klaas called
Davis’ statement a “vile and sinister and evil act."

After yesterday’s outburst, Superior Court
Judge Thomas Hastings confinned the sentence of
death the trial jury recommended Aug. 5. He
could have reduced it to life in prison without
parole.

First-grader suspended alter kiss

LEXINGTON, N.C. —— Taking a break from
playing soccer and spying on TV news crews in his
front yard, first— rraderJohnathan Prevette gave a
simple answer w en asked why he kissed a girl at
school.

“Because you love them and that you’re
friends,” he said. The 6-year-old boy with blond
hair and bi , thick glasses has become a celebrity
since his school punished him for the kiss. He was
separated from his classmates for a day and not
allowed to go to an ice-cream party for pupils with
perfect attendance.

“One guy from Florida said he’s sending us
5100 to buy ice cream,” father Calvin Prevette
said Wednesday. “Another guy wants to send us ()
gallons ofice cream. We don’t know where we’d
put it.”

Jackie Prevette, the boy’s mother, said she
wants the school board to revise its policy on sexu-
al harassment to exempt children in the third
grade and younger who have no concept of sexual-
ity. In his own defense,J0hnathan maintains his
classmate asked him to kiss her. On a separate

mutual Collections

By Travis Robinson
Senior Staff Writer

Recent works by the renowned landscapist
and local artist Sheldon Tapley are currently
being exhibited at Linda Schwartz Gallery.
Tapley narrowed his focus in these works, pre-
ferring the still life over the landscape.

His command of the pastel medium is com—
plete and shows a sensibility of the many ways
it can be used. Pastels are exceptionally con-
ducive to the still-life genre, since they are
capable of creating an atmosphere of calm and
quiet, emphasizing the static nature of still life.

The landscapes that Tapley is known for
aren‘t completely absent; he has incorporated
some of his other works into the still-life
scenes he painstakingly constructed.

Complicated conglomerations of fruit, veg-
etables, tools, half-eaten doughnuts, flower

arrangements, and even an Etch-a-Sketch,
these works command deep contem lation and
study. They trick the eye into be ieving one
thing is reality, but in fact the opposite is true.

By placing landscapes or other two-dimen—
sional elements as a work within a work, Tap-
ley has added a visual dimension that becomes
a paradox, invitin the viewer to contemplate
the near and the ar, looking into and out of
the composition.

Contrastin elements are brought together
throughout tEe group of works. The sharp,
serrated edge of a handsaw might lie next to a
gracefully curving ourd. Round and flat, soft
and hard, and prickfy and smooth all find place
within each composition.

These visual ambiguities climax in the work
“Volcano and Mirror” in which there a pears
to be a recession in s ace to the rig t and
behind the actual still lifz.

A lamp seems to be posed to shine down

onto the still life, and the receding space seems
to be behind it all, but further contemplation
reveals that it’s a mirror reflecting the opposite
side of the room.

There are many recurring elements in the
works that hint at a personal and deeply felt
intimacy with the objects. Flowers from his
wife’s garden, slabs of both rou hly cut and
smooth] polished stone from a fnend‘s studio,
and the tch-a-Sketch of his son all seem to be
almost religiousl rendered with the utmost
attention to detai .

Taple ’s influences ran e from American
artists Edward Hop er an Frederick Church
to the German omantic Cas at David
Friedrich. As still lifes, however, t ese works
are more reminiscent of the Bar ue style with
such attention to detail and de ictmg reality.

“Natural Collections” wi be on display
until Nov. 1. The artist will give an informal
gallery talk on Saturday, Oct. 12 at 2 p.m.

 

 

 

Tuscadcm's had lyrics
and vocals overshadow
good music on new album

By Katie Schultz

C omriliuting Critic

After listening to the re—
release/re—mix of Tuscadero’s
debut album, The Pink Album, the
only accurate description that
comes to mind is “weak.”

The D.C.—based band’s lead
vocalists Melissa Ferris and Mar-
garet McCartney combine their
annoying whines —— whoops, I
mean, voices, to create a sound
resembling Veruca Salt, but with
mindless lyrics.

According to a press release,

the group’s first album earned
“abundant critical praise.” To the
best of my understanding, the
point of the new album was to
bring back the first one, only with
a little kick. Sorry, but it just
doesn’t work. Instead, they
seemed to have ended up with an
album chock—full of really lame
songs.

“Crayola,” the finale of the
album, is a prime example. “I used
red, yellow, blue, but I didn’t
touch the rest/Primary colors are
always best /I was feeling lazy,
so I just drew you a daisy." Does

this scream third grade to anyone
else?
Another one of my favorite

gent lyrics.

Staff ( ,‘ri t1:

On Tuesday night, Area 5l was
“where it’s at.” The Roostars from
Louisville started the fervor that

did not uit till the last guitar
string and1 drumstick were still. It
was a definite coming-together of
musicians who play instruments as
extensions of their souls.

compared to The Black Crowes
lead singer, Andy Brown had a lot
to say.

“I like to think beyond that
band," he said. “I respect them as
artists but I like to be reflected
towards musicians like Humble
Pie and Jimi Hendrix.”

The Roostars live up to their
wish.

Peter Aaron, lead singer of the
Chrome Cranks, along with Jerry
Tetel on bass, Wa e Weber on
guitar, and Bob ert, drummer
and former member of Sonic
Youth, were nothing less than
incredible.

Aaron, who has Ii 5 that would
put Steve Tyler to s ame, teased
and Iayed to the audience, con-
ducting them into a grind that
only increased as the son kept
marching on. The (gimme
Cranks treated the audience to
their Iggy Pop sound.

Aaron, in the best song, “Hot

Blonde Cocktail,” asked, “How do
you like the sound? I’ll repeat the
sound,” to the audience, who was
faithfully dancing and following
his sways to the tribal beat.

Chrome Cranks obviously
knew what they wanted and went
for it with the addition of drum-
mer Bert. His perfect variation of
rhythms in “Desperate” went from
a cool cat rockabilly sound to hard
rock ’n’ roll.

Other sounds, unpredictable
from the song itself, surprised the
audience’s ears.

The endin of the songs were
not smooth ut cutting edge —
hard and rough sounds transcend-
ed into the next song, giving a cir~
cular feeling to their music.

Chrome Cranks play musically,
not technically, to give u some-
thing to always remem r. They
sound as if they have played
together forever, but there is still a
freshness to their amazing music.

Trip to liainesville gives
Wildcats upset potential

By Chris Easterllnp
Spam Editor

UK gets an opportunig — however unlike-
ly it may be -— to pull 0 one of the school's
biggest upsets ever when it faces No. 1 Florida
tomorrow at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Flori-
da Field, aka “The Swamp,” in Gainesville.

The Cats (1—2) are comin off last week’s 3—
0 home win over Indiana, wfiile the Gators (3-
0) enter the game on the heels of a 35-29 win at
Tennessee.

“The University of Florida is one of the
truly dominating teams in college football,”
Coach Bill Curry said. “The question comes
that ‘How in the world do you compete with
people like that?’ And there have been occa-
sions that we have competed very well with
them.

“The way you do it is to play your heart out,
much like we played Saturday night (a ainst
Indiana) and we’ll have to perform much getter
than we did Saturday night.”

The biggest story entering the game centers
around the quarterback position where Curry
may be makin the long-awaited, yet expected
move to start- reshman Tim Couch over Billy

Jack Haskins. Haskins had started the previous
three games for the Cats, but Couch has seem
playing time in all of the games as well, includ—
ing the entire fourth quarter in the win over
the Hoosiers.

Curry has yet to say for certain which QB
will start. Most likely the decision won’t be
made until game time.

Last season against Indiana at Bloomington,
it was Haskjns who started over Jeff Speedy
and sparked UK to a 17-10 victory. Haskins
wasn’t told he was starting until shortly before
ldckoff.

If he did start Couch, it wouldn’t be the first
time Curry gave a freshman his first start at
quarterback in the Swamp. In 1991, Pookie
Jones made his first start against the Gators,
scoring three touchdowns as Florida got by
UK 35 —26.

“It was one of those ames where our
defense couldn’t stop Poo 'e,” said Florida
coach Steve Spurrier of the game, “and Pookie
was all over the place.”

For the year, Couch has thrown only 32
asses, completing 10 of them for 120 yards.
ut he does have the Cats’ lone touchdown

pass this year, a 20-yard strike to tight end

 

”mica...” .. ._ .1 , ”NJ...

Issac Curtis III in the third quarter of the
Louisville game. It is also the only touchdown
that UK has scored this season.

As for Haskins, he has completed 20-of-44
for 154 yards. He has thrown two interceptions
also, one of which has been returned for a
touchdown.

“Both have played well at times,” Florida
Defensive Coordinator Bob Stoops said, “and
both have been a little inconsistent at times.
We have to be ready for them.”

Stoops has been the biggest catalyst for
change in the Gators during the offseason fol-
lowing the humiliating 62—24 loss to Nebraska
in the Fiesta Bowl. He guided the Kansas State
defense from 1991-95, and last year, the KSU
defense finished first in the nation in total
defense.

While Stoops may be the largest difference,
some things just seem to stay the same, like the
wide-open offense, which Spurrier has made a
habit of running since he has been at Florida.

Quarterback Danny Wuerffel returns after
last year’s record—setting performance, which
included a Southeastern Conference record 35
touchdown passes and 3,266 yards in passing.

So far in 1996, the senior from Fort Walton
Beach, Fla., has completed 4l-of-66 tosses for
646 yards and seven touchdowns. He is cur-
rently ranked third nationally in passing effi-
eiency.

“He’s a great player,” Curry said. “And he is
a great person. The only time we ever gave
Wuerffel any trouble was when he was brand-
new (in 1993). He’s so experienced now that he
sees things (in defenses).”

Comments out of context

Associated Prat:

UK Athletics Director C.M. Newton
said yesterday a comment he made about
the school’s decision to extend football
coach Bill Curry’s contract after last sea-
son was taken out of context by a newspa-
per reporter.

In a story yesterday in Nashville’s The
Tennessean, Newton was quoted as saying
that “based on the first two games and
looking at where the program is, yes, it
looks like it was a bad decision.”

But Newton said yesterday that was
only half of what he told Tennessean
sportswriter Larry Woody.

“I know what I said. Larry asked me
specifically, ‘Based on your first two
games, does that mean that giving Bill
the extra year was a mistake?” Newton
said. ,

“And I said well, if you base it on our
first two games, it certainly would be a
mistake. But I said, we’ve got nine more
games to play, the whole season, and we’ll
evaluate it on the season,” Newton said.

Newton said he told Woody that a deci-
sion about Curry’s performance would not

be based only on the first two games, but
that part of the conversation was left out of
The Tennessean story.

“What he has quoted was accurate, I
said that,” Newton said yesterday. “But
there was a ‘but,’ and more to it than that.

“My stance and my part of this has been
consistent throughout,” Newton said.
“What you have here is a art of what was
said, not the whole thing at was said.”

Woody, the Tennessean sportswriter,
was out of town yesterday and couldn’t be
reached for comment.

Newton’s comments in Woody’s col-
umn came after the Cincinnati-UK game
almost two weeks ago, Newton said.

There’s also no hiding the fact
that the team is 3-10.

But the team is la ing more
confident volle bal 0 late, as is
evidenced by wms in two of their
last three matches, including
Tuesday night’s blow-out over
Eastern Kentucky.

The Cats now enter Southeast-
ern Conference lay, the most
difficult ortion 0 their schedule.
UK coac Fran Ralston-Flory has
contended since the reseason
that the chips don’t go own until
the SEC matches be 'n.

“The SEC mate es are what
the season is all about,”'Ralston-
Flory said in a reseason inter-
view. “That’s w en we have to
Etci up and play our best volley-

a .”

UK has the luxury of kicking
off the SEC season at home where
they have traditionally enjoyed
o ening-night success — the Big
Blue has not lost an SEC opener
since 1985.

The Cats open up against
Arkansas tonight at 7:30 pm. The

trio of outside hitters. The Lad
Razorbacks are led by All-SEC
outside hitters Denise Baez and
Krystal Osborne, who together
com rise nearly half the team’s
pro uction.

Sophomore Kim Storey has
proven herself to be a one-woman
wrecking crew, leading the SEC
in hittin efficiency and ranking
fifth in b ocking.

UK assistant coach Tonya
Johnson says the match a ainst
Arkansas is coming at a goo time
for her team.

“Arkansas is a ton h team this
year,”Johnson said. “ ut with the
win over Eastern, we are able to
start the SEC with the right frame
of mind.”

On Sunday, the Cats square off
a ainst a Louisiana State team
t at has taken major steps back-
ward since their last SEC champi-
onshi in 1991.

“L’SU’s had a lot ofinjuries this
year,”Johnson said. “They’re still

tryin to find some consisten .”

LSU starte the season at a
miserable 2-7 but has put together
a two-game winnin streak com-

gIn addition to the on-court
match, the coaches will also be
waging a small war themselves.
All three UK coaches are LSU
