N ovember/Davenport ticket wins by landslide

By BRIAN BENNETT
Staff Writer

With his arms raised in the air
and his reddening face clashing
with his blue sweatshirt. Pete No-
vember screamed exuberantly in the
air atter he was announced Student
Government Association President
for the 1992-93 school year.

November, considered a slight fa-
vorite over a diverse field because
of his greek support, trounced nm-
ner-up Jay lngle by almost 500
votes.

“All I can say is there were a lot
of good candidates, and I’m glad to
be the one," said November, SGA
Comptroller. “I appreciate the clean
campaign and I’ll do my best."

The accounting senior from Dan-
ville, Ky., and his running mate, bi-
ology junior Lea Ann Davenport,
topped the six-candidate field with
more than 40 percent of the vote.
lngle finished second with 22 per-
cent, followed by Reed Good with
17 percent and David Easley with
11 percent. Kirk Haynes and Alan
Vick ended up distant from the
pack.

The November campaign re—
ceived big boosts earlier this week
with the endorsements of SGA Pres-
ident Scott Crosbie and the Greek
Political Action Committee.
Though traditionally the largest
bloc of voters, November, a mem-
ber of Lambda Chi Alpha social fra-
ternity. would not single the greeks
out as being most crucial in his elec-
tion.

Instead, he pointed to the work

his campaign put in to garner
broad-based support.

“We hit everybody in the world.”
he said. “You start in October and
you campaign until April and you
work 20 hours a wee

The candidates expected a tight
campaign this year, as each candi-
date had certain areas of support.
lngle received the endorsement of
the law school, Good was head of
the Residence Hall Association.
Haynes led the Baptist Student Un-
ion and Vick worked for the inde-
pendent vote.

But in the end. as Davenport
said, the greek vote was the “inte-
gral" factor in the November victo-

Some of November’s campaign
promises include a “true dead
wee where classes before finals
would be used as study halls, an
“Adopt-a-Legislator" program. in
which students can communicate
with their state representatives and
a fall break consisting of an extra
off day before Thanksgiving.

lngle, whose pledge was to be
“students working for students,"
said November's victory “did not
come as a complete surprise" since
November had the GPAC endorse-
merit

Good, whose residence hall con-
nections and endorsements by the
University Political Action Com-
mittee and the Kentucky Kernel
helped his election try, said be fully
supported November.

Senate turnover high as students elect new faces

Elections Board disqualifies
senatorial ticket for Violations

By JOE BRAUN
Editorial Editor

and KELLEY POPHAM
Assistant News Editor

The Student Government Associ—
ation Senate will be composed of
many new faces next year. as six of
the 15 senators elected last night
have not served in the senate be-
fore.

Most newly-elected senators re-

acted with surprise upon hearing the
news.

“Hard work pays off. I'm so
surprised, and I really can't believe
I won,“ Senator at Large-elect
Shawn Lowery said.

Jennifer Schwartz also was elect-
ed scnator at large. Her ticket‘s mot-
to was “A New Face for SGA."

She said her victory shows stu-
dents really are looking for a
change.

 

JEFF IUILEW/Komol Stuff

A UK student exercised his voting privileges yesterday in the Stu-
dent Government Association elections.

The ticket of Jeremy Bates, Kary
VanArsdale. Rob Warrington.
Mark Engstrom and Amy Adams
(three of whom currently are sena-
tors) was disqualified for failing to
turn in an expenditure form to SGA
on time.

“It was actually my fault that we
didn't turn (an expenditure form)
into the elections board. It was a
mistake on my part," Bates said.

The ticket filed its expenditure
form almost an hour late. said Mar-
shall Hixson. a member of the elec-
tions board. All members of the
ticket were among the top 15 vote-
getters but cannot serve on the sen-

ate unless they win an appeal.

“Students like us. since they vot-
ed for us, obviously they want us.“
Adams said.

Adams said the ticket plans to file
an appeal to the SGA Elections
Board. and if they are not successful
will seek the help of the judicial
board. Last year. in a similar situa-
tion. the judicial board permitted
Senator at large David King to
serve his term, despite his being dis~
qualified for submitting his expen«
diturc form after the deadline.

November helps greeks
retain SGA dominance

By GREGORY A. HALL
Associate Editor

There was a residence hall candi-
date. There was a candidate en-
dorsed by law students. And there
was a candidate running from the
Baptist Student Union.

But none came close to being
powerful enough to defeat the
greek-endorsed candidate for Stu-
dent Government Association pres-
ident, Pete November.

SGA veterans were leery last
night of saying that the greek en-
dorsement is the reason someone is
elected.

However, November‘s trouncing
of all opponents further entrenched
that notion, or at least the notion
that no way has been found to beat
the endorsement. Since the Greek
Political Action Committee first en-
dorsed a candidate in 1988, every
GPAC-endorsed candidate has
won.

“The answer right now is ‘no.‘
(A way to beat the GPAC candi-
date) has not been found yet." said
runner-up Jay lngle. “No one en-
dorsed by GPAC has ever lost.“

lngle had been endorsed by the
Student Bar Association and won a
landslide at the law school poll -—
one of only two polls where No
vember lost.

Kirwan Tower Assistant Hall di-
rector Reed Good represented the

other significant challenge to the
GPAC candidate. (iood finished
third. with his strongest support
coming at polls in residence halls
(including the Kirwan-Blanding
Complex Commons).

However. it wasn‘t strong
enough, or complete enough to
override November, who won the
commons poll by about 30 votes.

Good received the endorsement
of the University Political Action
Committee — a group formed to
counter the greek presence in elec-
tions. But UPAC didn‘t seem to
pose a significant challenge to
GPAC.

“I‘d say we probably won (the
residence halls') segment of the
vote," Good said. “But we probably
need to realize that segment is com-
prised of all sorts of people. and
that includes members of the greek
community as well as Pete Novem-
ber‘s support group."

November said that “hard work"
and organization won the campaign
for him, and that he could have won
without the nod from GPAC.

“I think if I hadn‘t got the en-
dorsement. I did have the backing
of a lot of fraternity and sorority

Election poster reform

students' “yes“ vote on the proposi-
tion to limit areas where posters are

However. the election reform ref-

The proposal for unlimited cam-

defeated: 422 votes to l.‘)‘)l. The

Assistant Arts Editor

“Jazz is not like entertainment.
It's like inner-attainment. " — Ches~
ter Grundy

Dianne Reeves' evolving vocal
style is a matter of fusion, not con-
fusion. A Detroit native, Reeves
was raised in a musical family on
the sounds of Motown, gospel and
traditional jazz and blues music.
Since discovering singing with her
high school band at 17 by jazz great
Clark Terry, she has absorbed influ-
ences and rhythms from all over the
world. Today, she is an intemation-
al jazz diva.

Reeves brings her unique vocal
stylings to UK's Memorial Hall
Sunday night. Her performance,
sponsored by the Student Activities
Board Spotlight Jazz Committee
and the Office for Minority Student
Affairs, will be the last one of the
year for the series.

Reeves‘ diverse jazz nurturing
fits in nicely with the aims of the
Spotlight Jazz Series.

“We want to speak to the tradi-
tion of jazz as well as to those on
the cutting edge,“ said Chester

Gnindy, director of the Office for
Minority Student Affairs.

Grundy, one of the series’ found-
ers, has helped to bring some of the
best jazz in the country to UK.
Since I976, Spotlight Jazz has fea-
tured jazz artists Dizzy Gillespie.
Sarah Vaughan, Wynton Marsalis
and Bobby McFerrin.

“Jazz is one of the greatest art
toms this country has produced,"
Gnindy said. “The world recogniz-
es jazz as great music. It‘s our clas-
sical music.

“The thing I find exeiting about
Dianne Reeves in terms of female
jazz vocalists —— there weren‘t any
heirs in the tradition of Sarah Vau—
ghan, Betty Caner or Carmen
McCrae. Reeves keeps the legacy
alive.

“She combines all the wonderful
elements that make up jazz: African
and Latin American rhythms and
influences."

Throughout her career, Reeves
has managed to both surprise and
entitrall her audience. Refusing to
settle for a traditional jazz vocal ca—
reer, she has alternated between
classic and popular jazz, bluesy
funk and an Afro-Latino-American
jazz fusion all her own.

 

 

Johhny Quest, from Raleigh, NC, will periorm tomorrow at
the "Noon to Moon" festival at the Red Mile ractrack.

Early on, Reeves was recognized
as a fresh jazz prototype with a
voice capable of combining tradi-
tional jazz forms with original,
more ethnic influences. Tall and re-
gal, with beautifully sculptured fea-
tures. Reeves is a classy original in
tune to the personal muse of her
own voice.

She became the principal vocalist
for Sergio Mendes, singing and
scatting in a funky Brazilian style.
In I983, she joined Harry Bela-
fonte. who introduced her to
rhythms of West Africa and the
West Indies, as a backup vocalist.
After three years with Belafontc,
she went out on her own. She has
done five solo albums.

Her I990 release, Never Too Far.
climbed three Billboard charts: con-
temporary jazz, black and pop.
Reeves has been able to give new
meaning to the expression “speak-
ing in tongues." She has borrowed
from Portuguese, Spanish and blues
English, languages Africans adopt-
ed in the Americas. Her repertoire
has included Latin jazz, gospel,
rhythm and blues, traditional Afri-
can chants and ballads. She has
covered songs by diverse artists
such as Rickie Lee Jones. Duke Ell-

ington. Mongo Santarnaria, Hoagy
Carmichael, Stephen Sondheim.
Tito Puente, Lou Rawls, Oscar
Hammerstein and McCoy Tyner.

In 1991. Reeves released I Re-
member, an offering of jazz classics
that brings together her diverse tal-
ents and hard-won control and nu-
ance. I Remember includes Santa-
maria‘s “Afro Blue" and
Sondheim's “I Remember Sky.“

Sunday's Memorial Hall perfor-
mance will include a four-piece en-
semble of jazz veterans intimately
attuned to the stylings of Reeves
from past studio and touring en-
gagements. David Torkanowsky
plays piano/keyboards. Chris Seve-
rin is on bass, Billy Kilson on
drums and Munyungo Jackson on
percussion.

Call it Afro-Latin Rhythm and
Jazz or First World Funk, Dianne
Reeves is a statuesque musical spir-
it causing new vibrations on the in-
ternational jazz scene. Combining
the best of old and new, Reeves is
an original rising star in a long line
of great female jazz vocalists.

Dianne Reeves will perform Suri-
day night at 8 in Memorial Hall.

Country band upbeat

By JOE EDWARDS
Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. —— Few acts
in country music had a brighter fu-
ture than Shenandoah.

The five-member band was cho-
sen No. l vocal group by the Acad-
emy of Country Music a year ago.
The Country Music Foundation vot-
ed the group into the Walkway of
the Stars at the Country Music Hall
of Fame. Hit records seemed to
come as often as a sunset.

Then they filed for bankruptcy.

This promising but star-crossed
act says it will take until year’s end
to pay off its debt. After four years,
Shenandoah also has a bottom line
of bad luck and bmising court bat-
tles.

But they remain as upbeat as one
of their songs. which typically fo-
cus on the joy of fatherhood, ideal
love and small-town values.

Theirs is a bittersweet story of
courtrooms and balance sheets as
much as guitars and melodies.

“We know about sleepless
nights." said lead singer Marty Ray-

bon.

Three other groups — in Ken-
tucky, Nevada and Massachusetts
— claimed prior rights to the name
“Shenandoah" and sued. Addition-
ally. production and recording
agreements the band signed pre-
vented the group from receiving
royalties on their albums The Road
Not Taken and Extra Mile.

By the time the live performers
and their seven lawyers in five
states resolved the persistent litiga-
tion against the group, they were
$500,000 in the red. And getting no
money from their records — some
$350,000 in royalties.

Raybon and Shenandoah drum-
mer Mike McGuire sat down in
their manager‘s office recently to
reflect on what happened.

McGuire proudly wears a jacket
touting their new label (“RCA ——
The Nashville Team") and adjusts
his Confederate hat as he muses
about his experiences with lawyers
and accountants. He‘s asked who‘s
to blame.

“Just circumstance," he said.

The group was so strapped for

money last spring that they decided
against going to Los Angeles for
the annual Country Music Awards
and saved $6,000.

They watched their name an
nounced as group of the year on the
television in their tour bus.

Instead of accepting the award in
person, they earned a couple thou
sand dollars performing at a 2,700-
scat nightclub in Corpus Christi.
Texas.

“This has brought us closer to-
gether," Raybon said.

Another time, they were threat-
encd with arrest in Louisville, Ky,
if they performed under the name
Shenandoah.

Lawyers worked out an agree-
ment just 15 minutes before show-
time.

But Raybon remained uneasy.

“I got on stage and kept looking
around for police." he remembered.
“I thought they were going to hand-
cuff the anti lead me away right
there. We played our songs real fast
that night."

The group's members said they
worried that a judge might order

them to quit performing as Shenan~
doah, sabotaging their livelihood.
They had begun considering a mar—
keting campaign to trumpet a new
name.

Btit Shenandoah has persevered.
performing 260 dates in l99l, They
expect to do 180 or more this year
—-— all because of court settlements
with the other groups. That cost
Shenandoah $200,000, not counting
legal fees. McGuire and Raybon re»
cently met with associates to dis.
cuss new publicity photos. Just a
few days earlier. they had wrapped
up a Western concert tour that drew
loyal fans in places like Denver and
Albuquerque.

Additionally, their (ircutcst llll.\

ing their songs “The Church on
Cumberland Road." “Mama

“Ghost in This House."

British singer has no desire to be bigger than Jesus

By SPENCER BRIGHT
Assocrated Press

LONDON — Everything about
Mike Edwards mitigates against be-
ing a rock ‘n‘ roll hero.

The leader of Jesus Jones ex-
presses no interest in drugs. drunk-
enness, groupies or money, and he
didn't bother rebelling against liber-
al parents who weaned him on the
Beatles, Rolling Stones. Janis Jop-
lin and Jimi Hendrix.

“People want you to have good
cocaine («MES or good groupie sto—
ries. l react the opposite way and
then everyone wants me to make
out I‘m a vegan Buddhist. Yes, I
do drink, though I don't get drunk
because I go from feeling complete-
ly sober to throWing up within the
space of about half an hour," he
said.

His idea of a good time is riding
his bike up mountains in Canada or
across the Arizona desert, or going
around the temples of Kyoto, Japan.

In his very un-rock ‘n' roll way,
he talks about discipline and about

u

(I ithftffiN CREEN ll

improving his mind —— he’s learn-
ing Swedish because his wife is
Swedish. After that he wants to
learn German. Japanese and Span-
ish.

He claims to be worried about a
low sex time. “because I think peo-
ple who are incredibly ambitious
and egotistical and crave success
usually have a phenomenal sex
drive. At least that‘s the standard
image. I‘m trying to look at my diet
to see if there are some clues there."

It's not a lack of drive. “People
have described me as the most sin-
gle-minded person they know, the
most ambitious person they’ve ever
met." he said.

Jesus Jones is one of the biggest
new British exports to rock Ameri-
ca. The album Doubt has sold more
than a million copies in the United
States. The group won MTV's best
new artists award for 1991. had a
No. 2 record with “Right Here,
Right Now" at the time of the Per-
sian Gulf War, and received a
Grammy nomination.

“Right Here, Right Now" was a

HH HMONK) Mf‘tLl ...

mu taut (Porn

rock anthem that celebrated the ex-
hilaration of seeing the Berlin Wall
coming down and the Cold War
ending.

Edwards was displeased about an
American TV news program using
“Right Here. Right Now" With film
of LS. troops landing iii Saudi Ara<
bia. Though he supported the coali-
tion against Iraq, he didn't want the
song to become a jingoistic anthem.

He wants to be famous, but not
for its own sake — he craves the in‘
fluence that comes with it.

“It would be completely crass to
say we want to be as big as the
Beatles, or as big as Pepsi Cola.
There's nothing more pathetic than
that."

The group‘s name does not re-
flect any messianic ambitions, It
was thought up on a beach in Spain
where Edwards was amused to find
that Jesus was a common first
name, and he liked the idea of pair-
ing it with a garden-variety British
name.

Edwards, 28. comes from a mid-
dle-class English family. His father

is an independent marketing advis-
er, his mother a nurse; both were
rock fans in the l960s.

The musical influences on Ed-
wards are more diverse and contem-
porary. He is a great fan of English
techno rockers KLF anti American
scrccclicrs Sonic Youth. as ucll Us
radical rappers Public Enemy.

“I think probably the Beatles and
(David) Bowie were the true pio-
neers in rock music. making all
sorts of things acceptable to the
mainstream, bringing in things from
the outside," he said.

“And that‘s really what I'm try-
ing to achieve musically."

His song subjects range from crit-
icizing the return of Victorian mo~
rality to the crassncss of pop songs
themselves.

At school, Edwards remembers
being an attention-grabbing clown,
explaining: “It was often a very
good way out of trouble. The best
way to avoid bullies is to confuse
them totally. If they say ‘do you
want a fight‘ and you say. ‘look out
— there‘s a teapot that‘s coming to

get you,‘ then after two or three
sentences of that bullies get totally
fed up."

Toughness, he said, developed
with his music: “The experience of
being in bands lroin the age of IS.
of manipulating people. ol leading
people. of pushing people around.
of taking control."

His lack of warmth may seem ar-
rogant, but it also may be a very

 

fut

 

English reserve. Whatever it is, he
recognizes a double edge.

Asked to list his worst traits. he
responds: “Arrogance. egotism. ig-
norance of other people's feelings.

\cll -obscssion."

And his best" ”Arrogance. C51”
tism, ignorance of other people‘s
feelings, .sclllobsession."

A true rock ’n’ roller after all.

Football

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -—— The
cheap seats for the first Southeast-
ern Conference football champion-
ship game sold out in 35 minutes,
but expensive seats still are availa-
ble.

The Fastix ticket service put
4,000 end zone tickets on sale at I0
am. Wednesday for the Dec. 5
game at Birmingham’s Legion
Field. They quickly sold out, with
people placing phone orders from as
far away as Cincinnati. said Sid
Borland, controller for the Birming-
ham-based ticket service.

He said more 530 tickets may be-
come available later if some SEC
schools decide not to exercise their
ticket options.

Some 28,000 tickets for better
seats are available through the pre-
mium ticket program. That pro-
gram requires a donation of $75 to
$750 per ticket to the Birmingham
Football Foundation, the sponsor
of the game.

Foundation executive director
Jim Simmons said all of the high-
er-priced premium tickets have
sold, but tickets requiring dona-
tions of $75 to $250 remain.

Basketball

UK fans had their hopes for next
season bolstered with the word that
New Jersey high school basketball
star Rodrick Rhodes is academical-
ly eligible.

Rhodes, the 6-foot-7 prep All-
American from Jersey City, NJ,
scored better than the NCAA mini-
mum of 700 on his latest attempt at
the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The
score came in the mail yesterday.
delighting everyone at St. Antho-
ny’s High School.

“We‘re all fired up," said coach
Bob Hurley, who this weekend
will be watching his son Bobby
lead Duke’s defense of the national
championship. “We’ve been on the
edge of our seats for two weeks.
waiting for the score.

“We‘re thrilled for Rod. because
now he can go to UK and play his
first year and get on With his edu-
cation."

Because Rhodes is eligible, UK
gets another bonus because 6-9
Walter McCarty of Evansville,
Ind., also will be able to begin
classes at UK.

McCarty is an academic non-
qualifier who will not be eligible to

play next season. The Southeastern
Conference allows only one non-
qualifier in basketball each year to
sitout.

McCarty can join the team his
sophomore year and have three
years of eligibility.

UK coach Rick Pitino was in Los
Angeles yesterday and unavailable
for comment.

McCarty. after hearing about
Rhodes from UK associate coach
Herb Sendek, said it made for a
more exciting day than when he
signed the letter of intent in Novem-
ber.

”Everybody kept talking about it
(the specter of not being able to go
to UK). but I wasn’t concemed,"
McCarty said. “I knew Rodrick had
a pretty good chance of passing."

Rhodes averaged 23 points, IO re-
bounds, four steals. four assists and
four blocked shots per game for St.
Anthony‘s, which finished the sea-
son 28-2 and ranked No. 9 in the na-
tion by USA Today. He was a con-
sensus Top 5 recruit at the time he
signed with UK in November.

Meanwhile, another Wildcat was
having surgery Wednesday.

UK point guard Travis Ford un-
derwent arthroscopic surgery in
New York to remove part of his left
knee cap. Ford injured the knee in
October but played on it all season.
averaging 3.7 points and 2.1 assists
per game.

The surgery was performed by
New York Knicks team physician
Norm Scou, who also performed
knee surgery on UK’s Jeff Brassow
last December.

Ford will begin rehabilitation im-
mediately and could be back to full
strength by June, said UK trainer

It’s Duke vs. Indiana, Michigan vs. Cincinnati

By JIM O'CONNELL
Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — A look at to—
morrow’s Final Four matchups (all
times EST):

Teams: Cincinnati (29-4, No. 4
seed from Midwest) vs. Michigan
(24-8, No. 6 seed from Southeast).

Time: 5:42 pm.

Trip So Far: Cincinnati, making
its first Final Four appearance since
1963 and first NCAA appearance
since 1977, has beaten Delaware.
Michigan State. Texas-El Paso and
Memphis State. Michigan. the 1989
national champion, has beaten Tem-
ple, East Tennessee State, Oklaho-
ma State and Ohio State.

Tendencies: Cincinnati is a phys-
ical team that predicates its game on
a pressing, trapping style, which has
forced I72 tumovers in its current
lO-game winning streak, 83 on
steals. The Bearcats have allowed

TOURNAMENT

58.9 pOints per game over the last
19 games, with an average margin
of victory of 20.3 in that time. They
are not an experienced team, with
seven first-year players and four
from the junior college ranks. The
outside shooting has improved re-
cently, but like the other teams still
in the running, the Bearcats don’t
have a true low post player. The
guards like to post people up.

Michigan has a lot of talent at
both ends. The five freshmen al-
ready have become part of college
basketball lore and their story is
really Just starting. The Wolverines
play on emotion and have exhibited
much of that during the touma-
ment. The inside game is fearsome

and the outside shooting has picked
up during the tournament. Most ex—
perts want to see how they handle
the Bearcats‘ tenacious defense and
whether Jalcn Rose gets the help he
needs in running the offense.

Tip Sheet: Michigan by (Fab) 5.

Teams: Duke (32-2, No. 1 seed
from East) vs. Indiana (27-6. No. 2
seed in West).

Time: 30 minutes after first
game.

Duke. the defending national
champion which is making its fifth
straight Final Four appearance, has
beaten Campbell, Iowa, Seton Hall

and Kentucky. Indiana, winner of

five national championships. the

last in 1987, has beaten Eastern Illi-
nois, Louisiana State, Florida State
and UCLA.

Tendencies: It could take a while
to find out what Duke does wrong.
The Blue Devils have size, surpris-
ing quickness, play great defense
and apparently have a lot of luck
left. The Blue Devils have shown
some human tendencies in the tour-
nament, especially against the
press. but they have a 23-3 record
in the last five NCAAs. Indiana
relies on a motion offense and man»
to—man defense. things as ingrained
in that state as high school basket-
ball.

Tip Sheet: Duke by 2.
