IFC approves more restrictive alcohol policy

Frats may not
serve alcohol
at parties

By VICTORIA MARTIN
Staff Writer

UK’s lnterfraternity Council
voted yesterday to prohibit frater-
nities from buying alcohol with
chapter money and distributing it
at all fraternity functions.

IFC President Mike Johnson
said after the hourlong, closed-
door meeting that fraternity par-
ties will be governed by a “bring-
your-own" alcohol policy, effec-
tive immediately.

“A fraternity can no longer in
any way, directly or indirectly,
purchase alcohol through chapter
funds," Johnson said. “Alcohol
will not be centrally distributed in
the houses."

Although IFC officials would
not disclose the margin of the
vote, a source close to the meet-
ing said the proposal passed by a
very narrow margin in a roll call
vote.

Kappa Sigma President Scott
Kuhn said some lFC members
who supported the policy belong
to fraternities whose national
charters have banned serving alco—
hol because of liability concerns.

Under the new policy, those at—
tending fraternity parties will be
allowed to bring their own alco—
hol provided they are of legal age

Shipman to

By ALLEN D. GREER
Staff Writer

Former UK student Bradley J.
Shipman will have his first parole
board hearing on Oct. 24, state
corrections officials said yester-
day.

Shipman is serving two concur-
rent five-year prison sentences for
an alcohol—related traffic accident
in September 1988 in which one
UK student was killed and another
was seriously injured.

Shipman will have served 20
percent of his prison sentence by
Nov. 29, making him eligible for
parole under state law, according
to John Runda, state parole board
chaimtan.

Intertratemity Council President Mike Johnson talks to reporters yesterday outside the Sigma Pi lra-

ternity house following

in Kentucky. Underage guests
caught at parties with alcohol by
lFC likely will be referred to the
Dean of Students Office, Johnson
said.

But Johnson noted that IFC
would not enforce the new policy
on fraternity parties held far from
campus because he said it is not
feasible.

The policy, proposed by Kappa
Alpha President Craig Robertson
and Sigma Nu President Jeff

the approval of

Kloenne, was rejected twice last
year.

The former policy permitted fra-
ternities to serve only beer at par-
ties to members and guests of le-
gal age.

An important factor in lFC’s
decision to pass the new alcohol
policy was liability, Johnson said.

Joseph T. Burch, of UK’s office
of legal counsel, said the new IFC
alcohol policy probably will de-

lFC's more

restrictive alcohol policy.

crease fraternities’ liability, but
not completely eliminate it.

“Relatively speaking, they
(IFC) have relieved themselves of
one potential risk by not serving
alcohol themselves," Burch said.
“They (fraternities) will continue
to have some risks, but they are
somewhat lower now.”

Sigma Chi President Jon Woo-
dall said he thought the policy

ed of second-degree manslaughter.
second degree assault and drunken
driving in the September 1988 ac-
cident.

Shipman lost control of his
convertible on Euclid Avenue and
hit a telephone pole, throwing
UK students Lisa Whalen and Mi-
chael Swerczek from the car.
Whalen was killed and Swerczek
was paralyzed.

Runda said several factors will
be considered when deciding
whether to grant Shipman’s pa-
role.

“We certainly will look at the
seriousness of the offense, in

which a life was taken and another
person was seriously injured,"
Runda said.

The Parole Board also will con-
sider Shipman’s clean criminal
record and “what he has done to
deal with his (alcohol) problem,"
Runda said.

Although Shipman had no
record of substance abuse prior to
the accident, he has participated in
substance abuse and Alcoholics
Anonymous programs since he
began his incarceration on Jan. 19
at the minimum security Diersen
Center in Louisville, Runda said.

Shipman has been released on
furlough four times since he be-
gan serving his sentence, accord-
ing to Maribeth Schmitt, a state

corrections official. Runda said
that a urinalysis test taken after
one of Shipman‘s furloughs was
negative for substance abuse.

Runda said that Shipman’s
record while in prison is favora-
ble, adding that “Mr. Shipman’s
overall program adjustment has
been positive, and he has a clean
disciplinary repon.”

Shipman is participating in a
state program that allows him to
leave the Diersen Center to attend
classes at the University of Louis—
ville, state officials said. He is cn~
rolled at U of L this semester and
had an “A” average during last
summer‘s classes, Runda said.

Policy gets
mixed reaction
from campus

By VICTORIA MARTIN
Staff Writer

While some University adminis‘
trators and fraternity officials ap-
plauded the alcohol policy passed
by the lnterfratcmity Council yes-
terday, some fraternity members
said the policy probably will do
little to change I‘ratcrnitics' atti»
tudes toward alcohol.

The policy passed by IFC pro—
hibits fraternities front serving al-
cohol at parties or alcohol with
chapter funds.

The policy, however, allows
people of legal age to bring alco~
hol into fraternity parties.

Ron Lee. lFC adviser and as-
sistant dean of students, said tltc
new policy is “a continual step in
the right direction."

Marigail Sexton, UK‘s sub—
stance abuse prevention coordina-
tor, said she thinks IFC made the
right decision.

“Fraternities are realizing what
their real purpose is, that they
don’t have to drink all the time.
IFC has taken a more responsible
stance that the rest of the campus
should follow.” Sexton said.

Kappa Alpha and Sigma Nu fra-
ternity presidents Craig Robertson
and Jeff Kloenne, who proposed
the alcohol policy to IFC, could
not be reached for comment.

Critics, however, say underage
drinking will continue and the
number of drinking-and-driving in-
cidcnts likely will increase

David Lohrc of Sigma Pi frater~
nity said the new policy is a good
decision in terms of liability, but
he said he thinks drinking and
driving Will be more common.

“I just see a lot more people
drinking before they go over to
(fratemity) parties. People might
take it (the policy) the wrong way
and drink before they come

Andy Mohn of Phi Sigma Kap-
pa fraternity said the dCClSIOH
should have been ntade by indiVid~
tial chapters. “1 don‘t think it‘s
fair that the lratcmitics who voted
for it should be able to decide for
everyone else. l think it‘s making
more and more rules for lraterni»
ties."

 

 

Market rebounds
from Friday’s drop

By MARYBETH NIBLEY
Associated Press

NEW YORK — Blue chip stocks
bounded ahead yesterday in one of
the busiest trading sessions ever on
Wall Street, but share prices of
many other companies trailed be-
hind.

The Dow Jones average of 30 in—
dustrials, knocked down by a pow-
erful selling wave in the opening
minutes of trading, rallied as buyers
flocked to the market to snap up
bargains and helped Wall Street
avoid a repeat of the Black Monday
crash two years ago.

The barometer, comprising some
of the country’s best-known com-
panies, surged 88.12 to 2,657.38.

It was the fourth largest point-
gain in the history of the Dow
Jones industrial average.

Market analysts said the 190.58-
point plunge in the widely watched
market measltre on Friday pushed
many stocks to attractively low
prices.

Declining issues outnumbered ad-
vancing ones in nationwide trading

of New York Stock Exchange-
listed shares by about 4 to 3, with
975 stocks down in price, 749 up
and 279 unchanged.

Volume on the floor of the Big
Board came to 416.29 million
shares, the fourth heaviest total
ever and the highest since Oct 21,
1987, when 449.35 million shares
changed hands. Volume Friday was
251.17 million.

Market regulators expressed sat-
isfaction with the way exchanges
coped with the cmsh of business.

“All of the systems throughout
the exchange have functioned ex-
tremely well throughout thc day,"
said NYSE spokesman Richard
Torrenzano.

The NYSE had anticipated a
flood of sell orders and opened its
computers at 7:30 am, an hour
earlier than usual, so it could sort
out business before trading began
two hours later.

After the Black Monday crash the
nation‘s stock and futures markets
installed safety measures intended
to prevent a recurrence of the pa-
nicky selling that triggered the

The College of Fine Arts an—
nounced yesterday that student Lick-

significantly increased over previ-

“For the most part ticket sales

said Michelle Ripley, Otis A. Sin~

Through Friday 975 tickets had
been sold, compared with 791 last
year, which featured opera singer
Robcna Peters. Last year‘s benefit

DIVERSIONS

The Red Hot Chili Peppers make progress in the face of adversity

By KIP BOWMAR
Ans Editor

The loss of a charismatic found-
ing member usually sounds a death
knell for most rock 'n’ roll groups.

But the The Red Hot Chili Pep-
pers, whose founder, Hillel Slovak.
died of a drug overdose last year.
have made their way through adver-
sity and adjustment — and expanded
their music in the process.

The band performed last night in
the Student Center Grand Ballroom,
but it did not end in time for a re—
view to be done before press time.

“Yeah it was very difficult to deal
with." said Flea, the band‘s bassist.
“It was a severe emotional tragedy.
Slovak was a beautiful and well—

rounded person. There will never be
another person like him."

Replacing the old members of the
band was an arduous task. band
members said.

“The thing about the Chili Pep-
pers is that we're a band based on
friendship," lead singer Anthony
Kiedis said. “Our music was fueled
by chemistry, and that‘s something
you can‘t create unnaturally. "

Enter drummer Chad Smith and
guitarist John Frusciante. Kiedis

Kendall's

said Smith plays with the “unre-
Ienting force of a herd of psychedel—
ic rhinoceroses."

Flea said the new members have
had a profound influence.

“We've changed a lot because of
the two new musicians.” he said.
“Chad’s drums are physically in-
tense and definitely bring a different
edge. John has contributed as a
songwriter. We try to retain every-
thing we have but get better.”

The new sound is evident on the

band's new album, Mother’s Milk.
which is making its way up the
charts of Billboard magazine.
“We're achieving a lot of things
now," Flea said. "It feels good to
see those signs of success, but we’d
never alter the sound of our music
for the sake of something like that.
“There‘s a lot of music on the
pop scene that's talentless, spine-
less and ignorant," he said. “Bands
like Milli Vanilli and Warrant — I
can't see how somebody would like

 

that."

As for their own sound, the Red
Hot Chili Peppers are as diverse as
the band members.

“We‘ve always incorporated lots
of sounds in our music." said Flea,
who played the bass line on Young
MC’s new hit, “Bust a Move."

Kiedis said there has been a varie-
ty of influences on the band’s sound
— and not all of them are musical.

For instance, he said the Three
Stooges contributed to their “atti-
tude about the freeness of our
whole show."

“Sex is a great influence on our
music, and Traci Lords is too," he
said. “Sexual performance is paral-
lel to the energy of our perfor-
mance on stage. But sexual energy
is not the only kind of energy in
our music."
