8 SGA senators call it quits

Senators leave because of time conflicts, while others sit,
question whether leadership, organizations played a factor

By Jill Gorln
SGA WRITER

Several Student Government Associa~
tion senators have called it quits this year.
making other senators skeptical about the
future.

"We've had a lot of people resign. a lot
of last-minute resignations." said Keisha
Carter, SGA senator at large. "It‘s really
bothering a lot of people."

Eight senators have resigned this year
alone for a variety of reasons.

“I resigned for personal reasons only.“
said Eric Drake. former senator for the
College of Allied Health. “It was just too

much to do with graduate school and all."

Some senators think time conflicts are
the main cause. while others said SGA's
inexperience and disorganization con-
tributed to resignations.

Carter said the resignations might not
just be because of schedule contlicts.

“We’ve had a lot of last-minute deci-
sions that had to be made.” she said.
“Many senators just don‘t like that and got
frustrated with the last-minute things that
had to be done."

Some experienced senators said the
new senators might have had problems ad
lusting to SGA.

“We have had a lack of experience in

SGA and the UK administration this year
from so many new people," Carter said.
"Pretty much everyone in a leadership po»
sition this year was new and when you‘re
in a role like that. you really need to know
how the organization works and be expert
enced.“

(‘arter is not the only senator who
found inexperience a problem. Marianne
Lorensen also resigned in December for
several reasons. including frustration with
the organization.

“‘I won't say that the frustration from
SGA‘s inexperienced members was the
reason I quit." Lorensen said. “1 quit be-
cause I couldn‘t give SGA the time and en-
ergy I wanted. but that frustration was a
contributing factor."

Ernesto Mansilla. SGA vice-president
said time conflicts can be a struggle. espe-
cially with SGA‘s rules.

"()ur SGA constitution has rules about
absences in meetings." Mansilla said. "If
you are absent twice or tardy to a meeting
four times. we have a Committee on Corti-
mittees that reviews your case and decides
what the punishment will be."

“We have had many new people in
SGA this year." said Mansilla. who is also
in his first year of SGA.

"I thought this year would be a learn-
ing experience for everyone."

The elections for new senators will be
held in April. Students are encouraged to
run for office. because many new senators
will be needed.

“I feel that students have seen all the
things SGA has been doing this year and
either feel they can improve SGA or just
want to be apart of it.“ l‘eigel said. “So. I
don‘t think we'll have any problem getting
people to run."

Man with transplant ‘stares at it and grins’

Scott talks about experience after grueling l4

closely for blood clots. other
complications and any sign that

Big Weekend
in the ring

By Gary McCoilum

inesrunc cowumsr

 

This weekend I was called
out of town to work a conference
in Louisville. Naturally. I was
totally exhausted by the time I
got back late Sunday evening.

After floating through my
class schedule on Monday. I
still found myself suffering
from mono-like symptoms
when wrestling hit the air-
waves that night.

As I sat back and watched
“RAW“ (I was too tired to flip
channels). I couldn't help won-
dering ifl had fallen asleep and
started to dream up what I was
watching.

I sincerely hope that I did
n’t dream all of this up, because
the day I start to dream about
wrestling is the day that I know
I've been writing this column
too long.

Was it just my imagination
or did “Stone Cold” Steve Austin
seem completely ripped during
his interview? It really looked
like Austin and the “Heartbreak
Kid" Shawn Michaels found the
stuff that killed Elvis and were
trying to use it to bring him back
from the dead.

“Stone Cold" obviously is
not the leading celebrity in the
running for the “Know when to
say when“ commercials during
this Sunday's Super Bowl.

It must have been the sleep
deprivation. too. that caused me
to hear the announcers say Vince
McMahon had won the “Royal
Rumble." Surely. this piece of in-
formation was incorrect.

I guess the only good news

to come from this occurrence
would be the steel cage match
between McMahon and Austin
on Valentine‘s Day. No. I don‘t
think the match will be any
good. but maybe if we‘re lucky
McMahon will take a serious
blow to the head and come to
the realization that none of us
want to watch a 50year-old man
wrestle. If we did. the WCW‘s
ratings would be higher.

While my memory is a little
bit hazy from the events of this
past Monday night, I do remem-
ber the Rock‘s shirt. Either I was
seeing spots or the Rock is plan-
ning to take part in the KC and
the Sunshine Band reunion tour.

Monday night was also the
most sexually explicit “RAW“
of the new year. Perhaps a cou-
ple of you noticed the full color
centerfolds dotting the back-
ground. If you didn‘t notice the
posters. you must have noticed
Ken Shamrock's sister.

Unquestionably. her acting
talents far exceed those of Sham-
rock, as she demonstrated in the
latest Val Venis flick. Of course.
that is really not saying much.
Shamrock’s acting ability is so
bad that he couldn‘t get a part in
a Police Academy sequel.

Not to be upstaged with bad
acting, my hat goes off to Bam
Bam Bigelow who reads cue
cards worse than a seven-year-
old kid in an after-school spe.
cial. This is the only part of this
past Monday night’s Nitro that
I could stomach.

‘Virus’ mediocre at best

New film runs the gamut with special
effects, but doesn't deliver much of anything

By Melissa llarris
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Let me start off by saying
I‘m not a fan of science-fiction
or horror films. When I decided
to take the assignment to re-
view the movie Virus. it didn’t
register with me that it might
be one of those types of films.
Nevertheless. I found myself at
the movies on the Wednesday
night after it debuted — watch-
ing it.

This definitely wasn't the
best film I‘ve ever seen. but it
wasn‘t the worst, either. The
plot was slow at first, but even-
tually, it started to move along.
In the beginning of the movie,
we see the Akademic Vladislav
Volkov, a Russian science ship,
floating along the seas of the
South Pacific.

Nadia (Joanna Pacula). the
chief science officer. prepares

to download a routine scientific

space station. MIR. Suddenly, a
huge. blue, crackling energy
mass takes over MIR and in-
vades the transmission being
sent to the Akademic. The ener-
gy mass takes over the ship’s
computer and electrical sys
tems.

Days later. the shabby. lit-
tle tug boat Sea Star is pulled
into a ferocious typhoon. Cap-
tain Everton (Donald Suther-
land) decides to pull straight
into the typhoon and try to save
the wreckage the tug is towing.
against the wishes of the navi-
gator “Kit” Foster (Jamie Lee
Curtis) and the rest of the crew
members. Everton even threat-
ens to kill the engineer Steve
Baker (William Baldwin) if he
doesn‘t cooperate.

Bluegrass music
is thriving, but
misunderstood
at the same time

To the editor:

I am writing to correct several
erroneous and misleading com-
ments in the Jan. 19 review, “Blue-
grass still alive and well," about
the Troubadour concert on Jan. 14.

I was thrilled to see such a
large article and picture about this
event. Bluegrass music is not just
alive and well, it is thriving, par-
ticularly in central Kentucky. 1 am
pleased that the Kernel has
deemed it worthy of its space.

Unfortunately, several com-
ments made in the review belied
the reviewer's unfamiliarity with
this genre of music.

First, the reviewer states that,
“With the death of Bill Monroe in
1996, Ralph Stanley became ar-
guably the most important living
bluegrass musician." While Stan-
ley is certainly one of the most im~
portant, this distinction belongs to
Earl Scruggs for as long as he
lives. He is not just a great musi-
cian, but also the inventor of the
technique for banjo playing used
throughout Bluegrass music.
Ralph Stanley is undoubtedly the
most important bluegrass musi-

cian ACTIVELY performing.

The second misleading com-
ment in the review is the state-
ment that this concert was Stan-
ley‘s return to Lexington after a 40
year absence. While it may be true
that he has not been downtown in
40 years, he has been a regular per.
former at “The Festival of the
Bluegrass," both in its old location
at Masterson Station Park, and its
newer location at the Kentucky
Horse Park for many years.

Third, I must take issue with
the statement that the Lonesome
River Band’s opening set was “sol-
id. if unspectacular." In many re-
spects this band gave a better con-
cert than Stanley did! A full hour
of some of the liveliest, most ener-
getic Bluegrass music anywhere
today deserves much more than
this brush off of a review!

Finally, the reviewer stated
that Ralph Stanley‘s “banjo play-
ing sounds as sharp as ever." Obvi-
ously, the reviewer has never
heard a recording of Stanley in his
prime, performing in the 19505. If
he had, such a comment would be
truly unthinkable!

While Stanley's playing is s
