Hatfield, fonner lead singer of
Boston's Blake Babies. has a voice
that almost would cause you not to
notice the the hurt and anger of her
lyrics. paired with edgy guttar mu-
sic.

Her first solo effort. Ilcv Buhe.
has received almost unanimous cnt-
ical acclaim. She commented on the
album tn a phone interview Satur-
day.

McDayid: Are the Blake Babies

Hatfield: Yeah.

Layoffs in department
should have followed
cuts in administration
EDITORIAL

The old joke is that a recession is when you get laid off; a‘depres-
sion is when I get laid off. Depression struck Monday for eight UK
employees in the design and construction department.

While the cuts are justifiable, to preserve morale they should
have started within the administration. Just cutting the poor people
at the bottom of the totem pole does nothing to end the stereotype
that an administrative job at UK is a lifetime appointment.

Some of the top administrators announced last week that nearly
half of the design and construction depanment would be laid off
because of a drop in the number of construction projects on the
University‘s drawing board.

Administrators stress that this is not pan of the University‘s bud-
get cutting process. However, if there had been no cuts over the
past two years, it is undeniable that the layoffs wouldn‘t be neces-
sary. This may not be a budget-cutting measure per se, but it‘s not
too far from it.

Design workers were told to put updated resumes on file by Fri-
day. and they were notified Monday of who in the Iii-member de-
partment was staying and who was going.

Some weekend it must have been. Administrators said they an-
nounced the decision now — so the laid off employees could find
jobs —— rather than handing out pink slips on June 30. Some
present!

It is unconscionable for administrators to give the impression that
waiting until the last day to notify employees was even an option.
Undoubtedly. the families of the eight are overwhelmed by the ad-
ministration‘s charitable act.

This layoff is part of the Universitywide restructuring to take out
fat and duplication and put the institution’s resources where they
are needed most. In and of itself. that goal is commendable.

However. design and construction is not the place to start. For
this restructuring effort to mean anything. it must start within the
central administration.

If the higher-ups with the bigger salaries feel the same pressure
as the 18 design and construction employees who had to revise
their resumes last week, then maybe the reductions will be slightly
easier to stomach.

Senator’s words
insulting to gays
To the editor:

State Sen. Tim Philpot‘s anti-
gay remarks printed in the Sept.
24 Kentucky Kernel should not be
allowed to go by unchallenged.

First of all, he alleges that ho-
mosexual activity “started" AIDS.
That simply is not true. In the
third world countries where most
HIV-positive people live, AIDS is
spread primarily by heterosexual
activity. Heterosexual HIV trans-
mission is also on the rise in the
United States. Philpot also de-
scribes homosexuality as “com-
pulsive, addictive behavior."
Compulsive sexual addiction af—
fiicts heterosexuals. homosexuals
and bisexuals. and has nothing to
do with sexual orientation.

He also claims that the anti-
sodomy law “is good for Ken-
tucky families." I find this hard to
believe »—— because the fact that at
least l0 percent of the population
is homosexual or bisexual ensures
that there is someone in virtually
every family whose freedom and
livelihood was threatened by our
Commonwealth‘s anti-sodomy
law, which recently was struck
down by the state Supreme Court.

Philpot claims to be a Republi-
can. The Republican philosophy
advocates keeping government in-
trusion into the lives of citizens to
a minimum. Philpot would, thus,
do well to work to keep govern-
ment out of people‘s bedrooms
and away from their reproductive
decisions.

Is rape an eye for an eye issue?

Columnist's Note: The following
column is based on a true story.
Names have been changed to pro-
tect the victim.

Heather was raped on a Sunday.

Her black curls a cushion for
merciless thrusts, her mind explod-
ed into a myriad of colorless confu-
sion. Nothing mattered. It didn't
matter that she was a virgin. It
didn’t matter that her screams punc-
tured the night air. deadly Overtones
of a dark requiem. All that mattered
was she was being raped. and there
was no escape.

Heather was raped by her boy-
friend.

Screams tumed into whimpers
and then into silence. A silence
more of the mind than of the throat.
a silence in which denial challenged
reality, sanity being the toss-up tro-
phy.

Words failed to describe the full
horror of her experience. so she
choked on them even before they
were uttered. Memory turned into a
nightmarish rerun of the same
scene: a violent and morbid strug-
gle between trust and desire, mus-
cles flexing to ensure the damage
was done ~ in the aftermath, a sat-
isfied grin, while lethargic fingers
wiped away tears of solitary humili-
ation.

“You had to learn one way or an-

other. baby,“ a hoarse croak
belched forth in abhorrent self-
satisfaction.

In the aftermath, the abrupt mood
changes, the suddenly blank stare
and the sullen expression betrayed
her secret
