More than 125 people gathered
last night at Lexington's Phoenix
Park to participate in a candlelight
vigil commemorating the 19th an-
niversary of the Roe vs. Wade
abortion ruling.

“I believe very strongly in a
woman's right to choose and in the
availability of health care to us,”
said Becky Marshall, a Lexington
physical therapist. “I consider
abortion health care.”

The vigil consisted of a poetry
reading, singing and a moment of
silence in remembrance of the
women who have died as a result
of abortion.

Rev. Kelly Flood, a Unitarian
Universalist minister. urged the
crowd to “remember that we are a
moral people and we know that
abortion in women's lives is a mo-
ral decision.”

One participant, who wished to
remain anonymous, said she came
to the rally to recognize the impor-
tance of the Roe vs. Wade deci-
sion.

“1 came because I believe very
much in a woman’s right to
choose." she said. “I had an abor-
tion when I was 17 and that was
over 20 years ago. I'm very thank-
ful that some legislators in New
York gave me that option.

“There’s no telling where I
would have been had I not had an
abortion at that point. I want to de-
fend everyone’s right for that
choice."

WASHINGTON ——
Abortion foes massed
70,000 strong yesterday on
the national Mall, marking
the 19th anniversary of the
Supreme Court’s decision
legalizing abortion with a
new optimism that the rul-
ing's days may be num-
bered.

“I just feel it," said Vi
Randall of Godfrey, Ill.,
pointing to changes that
have swung the high court
rightward since its land-
mark decision in I973.

SGA Senate debates
election procedures

Editor's note: Because the senate
was still in session at presstime. an
article about the remainder of the
meeting will appear in F riday's
Kentucky Kernel.

By JOE BRAUN
Assistant Editorial Editor

Questions, heated debate and de-
tails surrounding proposed reforms
for the Student Government Associ-
ation spring elec-
tions dominated
the student sen-
ate meeting last
night

Jim Kruspe,
spring elections
board chairman.
created and pre-
sented election
reforms to the
senate.

Kruspe said he KRUSPE
was not upset by the intense ques-
tioning of his reforms by senators
because it demonstrated their inter-
est in the matter.

“As long as they're asking me
questions, that doesn't bother me
becausel want their input .They
(the senators) represent the students
and that represents how the students
want the elections run here at UK."

Kruspe said he anticipates many
more questions as the election
draws nearer. He told the senate that
he and the new election board will
address questions as a group.

He said his reforms are quite dif-
ferent than past years, and he be-
lieves “veteran senators will ques-
tion the new changes. I think the
questioning is good. It shows their
concern for the University and the
election process. They want legiti-
mate elections, and I want them to
be legitimate. too.”

The senate had approved one of
eight election amendments being
proposed by Kruspe at presstime
last night

 

 

 

 

The new law moves the final fil-
ing date for candidates in the spring
election to two days before the be-

ginning of spring break. In years
past, the deadline was the Friday
before the break. The old deadline
created problems involved in the
filing process for many students,
Kruspe said.

The backbone of Kruspe’s re-
forms are contained a bill that was
in debate at presstime. This bill out-
lined specific areas where cam-
paign literature could be placed on
campus.

Many senators questioned re-
vised regulations regarding the
placement of posters in residence
halls.

Kruspe told the senate that regu-
lations regarding these posters
would have to be set by individual
residence hall directors.

Senator at Large Jeremy Bates
offered an amendment to Kruspe's
proposal excluding restrictions on
signs placed on buildings, but
Kruspe stood behind his reforms
and declined the amendment. _

Kruspe also presented six candi-
dates for the spring election board.

Debate on the senate about the
Lexington Community College rep-
resentative, Mary Kanatzar, lasted
for more titan 30 minutes.

The controversy centered around
concerns by LCC Senator Monica
Turpin. She questioned Kanatzar’s
ability to keep her personal opin-
ions separate from the work she
would be doing on the elections
board.

“I want to keep the election
board professional. I don't believe
the way she acted during the last
election was very professional."
Turpin said.

Kanatzar told the senate she had
problems with some things that oc-
curred during the fall elections, but
she said she believes she went
through proper channels to take
care of any complaints.

“The way Mrs. Kanatzar brought
about her allegations, badgering me
whenever I was trying to get votes

Parking-tag issuing
will change for fall

By BRIAN BENNETT
Contributing Writer

A campus survey on parking pro-
ccdures and regulations has prompt-
ed changes in procedure that save
some students time and extra sleep.

Last fall, students began lining up
at 4 am. near the Student Center
for a chance to get a UK parking
permit.

Many students complained about
the first-come, first-served proce-
dure.

“There were complaints not only
because of the hardship, but be-
cause of the unfairness to those who
live far away,” said Janet Stansber-
ry, president of the Commuter Stu-
dent Advisory Board.

Stansbcrry and Sharon Childs, di-
rector of the Commuter Student Of-
fice. devised the survey asking for
student input.

The survey, circulated to students
in November, questioned their
knowledge of parking regulations
and opinions about the present sys-
tem and asked for suggestions for
change.

“It was a good way for students
to tell what they actually need and
what approach they would take to
the problem," Childs said.

While some suggestions were hu-

morous —— handing out permits
from atop the White Hall Class
room Building — others were more
serious, Stansberry said.

“Some people really took their
time and gave really elaborate ide-
as," she said. “A few even typed
their answers."

UK officials were considering
holding a lottery system similar to
the system of that of basketball dis-
tribution, but the idea was unpopu-
lar with those who responded to the
survey.

“Most people didn’t like the lot»
tery idea because they felt like they
would have no better chance,"
Stansberry said.

Instead, most of those polled fa-
vored distribution by classification.
Childs said.

As a result of the poll. Don
Thornton, director of UK Parking
and Transportation Servrces. said
the parking office researched the
possibilities and will institute a new
procedure this year.

Thornton said students wishing to
obtain “,"C “R" or “K"stickers Will
be placed into three categories. The
first group consists of those who
wish to rencw their current permits,
which they can do in July.

UK’s loss to Vols
reveals Wildcats’
‘fundamental flaw’

Editor's note: Because of the
late it'p-ofi' time of Tuesday's
basketball game, a complete sto-
ry did not appear in yesterday's
Kentucky Kernel.

By TOM SHARP
Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -— The
problem. as UK coach Rick Piti-
no saw it. was a fundamental
flaw.

“The big play in the game was
not blocking out on the foul shot
there when we could have cut it
to three. and that was the turning
point of the game.” Pitino said
after his No. 8 Wildcats had been
upset 107-85 Tuesday night by
Tennessee, the Wildcats' first
Southeastern Conference loss.

“It’s been an Achilles heel of
our all season. and tonight it cost
us. It‘s a fundamental thing
we’ve got to improve on,” he
said.

Pitino was referring to Jay
Price’s rebound of a missed Ten-
nessee free throw with seven
minutes left to play. Price‘s bas-
ket put the Vols ahead 76-69.

But Pitino could just as well
have been talking about a similar
play moments later that really
broke the team‘s back.

With 3:23 left, Tennessee's
Corey Allen was fouled and hit
the first one for an 84-76 Tennes-
see lead.

He missed the second; Carlus
Groves rebounded and fed Orlan-
do Berry, who also missed. but
Groves was there again to tip it
in and the Vols led 86-76.

From there the Wildcats (14-3,
4-1) were forced to fire tltree-
point shots, all of which they
missed, and foul the Vols (10-6,
3-2) immediately on a change of
possession.

After Groves' basket Tennes-
see scored just once more from
the field — tipping in a missed
free throw — but was 17 of 22
from the line. UK could manage
just two baskets the last three
minutes of play.

For the night Tennessee hit 48
of 59 free throws. school records
for both attempts and conver-
sions; UK hit 23 of 33.

“This is a good win for my
team against an outstanding
team.” Tennessee coach Wade
Houston said. “I think it gives us
a chance to still compete for the
Eastern Division, assuming we
don’t have any major stumbling
blocks from here on."

The Vols were led by Allan
Houston’s 36 points, but Wade
Houston said it was a matter of
his son getting some help.

“Allan can be a special
player.” the Tennessee coach

said. “He has lot of ways he can
hurt you. But the key tonight
was he got help front the other
players. Then as a defensive
team you have to decide wheth-
er to stop one guy or try to win
the game."

Most of the offensive help
came from Groves. who fin-
ished with 23 points.

The Vols out-shot the Wild-
cats from the floor, making 56
percent (28 of 50) to 41 percent
(28 of 68) for the Cats, who
managed a meager 6-of—32 from
three-point range.

Jamal Mashburn led UK with
28 points before fouling out
with 3 1/2 minutes remaining
on the play that sent Allen to
the line to set up Groves‘ play.

Deron Feldhaus came off the
bench to contribute 23 for the
Cats. who also got 11 from Ri-
chie Farmer.

Allen had 13 points and 10
rebounds for Tennessee. and
Jay Price added 12 points.

Tennessee led 55-54 when
two baskets by Steve Rivers, a
rare score from Berry, and a 3-
pointer by Allen eased the Vols
to a 72-63 lead with 8:39 re-
maining.

Sean Woods cut it to 72-66
with a three-point play seconds
later. but Price rebounded a
missed free throw for a bucket.
fed Groves for another score
and hit two free throws to put
the Vols ahead 8l-7l with just
under five minutes left.

Anti-abortion activists also ral-

Catholic Bishop James Lyke de-
clare that America has been “torn

Turpin stated her intent to run for
re-election as LCC senator and said
she believed Kanatzar’s presence
on the board would be a direct con-
flict with her campaign.

The senate was split on this mat-
ter but approved Kanatzar despite
Turpin‘s concems.

Other members approved to the
elections board by the Senate were
Laura Gum, Marshall Hixson, Me-

lissa McGraw, Sean Rankin and
Rodney Vinegar.

The senators also approved legis-
lation that would re-enforce atten-
dance regulations. requiring all
SGA college senators to attend Uni-
versity Senate meetings as part of
their senatorial duties.

In addition, the senate allocated
$2,000 for the purchase of a televi-
sion to be placed in the student
lounge at LCC. The purchase was
recommended based on a survey of
needs conducted at the community
college by LCC Senator Duane
Crowe.

Another UK student. 32-year-old

show her support of a woman‘s

“I‘m really afraid they will take
away my reproduction rights," said
Wilder, a member of the Bluegrass

The sense of a turning point was
also evident among abortion-rights
proponents staging counter-
dernonstratiorrs, including several
hundred who lined a block of Con-
stitution Avenue to exchange chants
and finger-pointing with the march-
ers.

“With the court stacked as it is

Bush, like Ronald Reagan before
him, has spoken from a distance to
the crowd each year as president.
Seventeen-year-old Jackie Thomas
of Southfork, Pa. applauded the
president’s words, but muttered,
“He should be here."

Wednesday's rally had a partisan
ring to it. particularly speeches by
Rep.

Robert Doman (R-Calif.) who
called Bush the “first line of de-

fense" against abortion, and Rep.
Chris Smith (R-NJ.) who said, “in
1992 we have to go political.”

“With every Democratic contend-
er for the presidency vociferously
pro-abortion,” said Smith. "I think
it is morally imperative upon us
that we work night and day to re-
elect the president and to make
gains in both the House and the
Senate."

About 70,000 people rallied and
then marched to the Capitol and Su-
preme Court in Washington.

Animal of alcoholism
still haunts ‘David’

By BOBBY KING
Senior Staff Writer

At age 12, David took his first
drink and unleashed from inside
him a beast he never knew existed.

Now, at 33 years old, David is
only beginning to control that beast
from within. He is a recovering al-
coholic and a former drug addict.
He also is walking around campus,
or maybe even sitting in the seat
next to you.

David is a UK student. He want—
ed to keep his last name a secret for
this article. There are lots of Davids
out there who go by other names.
But, like him, they carry the same
animal around inside of them.

The animal is alcoholism.

For those in recovery, alcohol is a
daily presence in their lives. They
struggle to ignore the lies they once
listened to by avoiding bars or par-
ties at friends' homes. Perhaps
more difficult is confronting the
temptations and awful emotions by
telling others.

David is one of the lucky ones.
He found help before the beast
killed him, as it did many of his
friends.

When he began drinking, David
never knew he was particularly vul-
nerable to the disease. His family
had a history of drinking problems,
a factor that makes a person as
much as four times a greater risk of
becoming an alcoholic.

But drinking was just a “social
thing" some 10 years ago when Da-
vid was in college at Eastern Ken-
tucky University. He partied with
friends, especially on weekends.

“I would never have guessed that
it would have ended up with the
hell that I’m going through," David
said. “I thought that was the thing
to do, what everybody else did."

In addition to being a student,
David held a full-time job that left
him little time for sleep. When cof-
fee failed to keep him awake, he be-
gan taking amphetamines and,
eventually, cocaine.

“It first just started out like an ex-
periment. Everybody would be
drinking and somebody would have
(some drugs). You'd already be
loaded on alcohol. So I’d say,
‘What the heck. I may or may not
even remember doing it.‘ The prob-
lem for me was that everything I
tried, I liked.”

“But ifI hadn‘t drank. I probably
wouldn't have started using the
drugs. I always thought those kind
of people were bad. and I kind of
looked down on them."

The job, the alcohol and the
drugs proved too much for David.
Academically, he fell into the hole
that only kept getting deeper. After
transferring to Lexington Commu-
nity College, he completed two se-
mesters in the nursing program be-
fore flunking out.

He took a job at a local hospital
8 a “student—nurse." The nursing
shortage made administrators “look
the other way," despite his lack of
credentials.

David told himself he was taking
the job for the right reasons, but in
reality it was, he said, because he
knew he could have easier access to
free drugs.

“ConsciOusly, I may have said
I‘m doing it because it pays good.
But there‘s that little monkey on
your back. That's the voice that
whispers in your ear and tells you
what to do."

David worked the 3 to 11 pm.
shift at the hospital. Afterward. he

Coeds frequenting

Sean Mann and Catherine Lewis
looked a bit lonely sitting at their ta-
ble late Monday night at the Two
Keys Tavern. With classes the next
day and business kind of slow, they
were the only people sitting in front
of the establishment‘s giant screen
television.

Like many students at UK, Mann
and Lewis come to the Two Keys,
and other pubs around town, to have
a drink and relax for awhile before
returning to the pressures of school.

They said they know the issues.
and the risks, that come with using
alcohol. They also said they know
when enough is enough.

“I think about (the chance of) be-
coming an alcoholic,” Lewis said.
"I think there's got to be a limit I
think a lot people don't realize the
risks that are involved."

shift hit the bars.

“It was sort of the ‘party shift,’
which fit my lifestyle. I could sleep
it off the next morning and not have
to be back at work until the after-
noon."

Unfortunately, his alcohol and
drug abuse wasn't limited to after-
hours partying.

“I remember several of us using
cocaine to stay revved up,” he said.
“You start to question whether or
not your being on drugs may have
banned someone.

After three years of questioning
himself, David began to fear that he
might have become addicted to
drugs.

He thought a “change of geogra-
phy” was the answer, so he took a
job as an aerial photographer f
