looming
heavily.

team is starting
to gel. and the
fans at the
game are really
into the season.
You know the
fans are intense
when the Cats
make an errant
pass in the
waning
moments of the
game and the
crowd gets
upset despite
the 42-point
lead.

8. Football season
is over and we
now only have
hopes and
expectations for
next season to
keep us
entertained.

7. Campus is
littered with

rather than
bitching at each
other.

The Lexington Area Party
Plan could be voted into effect
next Thursday. barring any
change from the version passed at
last night's Lexington-Fayette Ur-
ban County Council meeting.

More than 300 UK students
came to the meeting. The council
chamber was filled to capacity,
forcing almost 200 of the students
to watch the proceedings on a TV
on the first floor.

All of these students had one

restrictions are broken. the resi-
dents could be fined up to $500.

Tim Robinson. Student Gov~
emment president. said he was
disappointed the council didn‘t
adopt SG's recommendation.
which would have required the
residents to face other conse-
quences such as fines. community
service or a criminal misde-
meanor in the worst cases.

”It's a shame." he said. “The
students at UK have a commit-
ment to community service."

Robinson encouraged stu-
dents to continue taking an active
role in fighting this issue and to
also become politically involved.

One reading down. one more
to go.

Fresh off the first reading of
the Lexington Area Party Plan.
proponents and opponents of the
proposal are getting prepared for
next week‘s deciding council vote.

SC is planning television and
radio commercials and student
voter registration drives that they
hope will show the council how
many students will be able to vote
in the next council election.

"We are trying to get as many
people to register to vote as we
can." said 86 vice president Caro
line Harralson.

With more than 300 students
attending the hearing last night.
Harralson said she is optimistic
about the outcome of next week's
vote.

”It gives me chills to see the
students here. It is exciting to see.
and We been really impressed."
she said.

Most students throughout

Housing group helps
fund commercial

Money: Campus property owners skeptical

By Andrea Uhde

Esme news EDITOR

Starting Friday. students
will be supported in their battle
opposing the Lexington Area
Party Plan by a commercial
funded by UK‘s Student Gov
emment and the L‘niversny
Area Housing Assoc1ation.

Campus-area real estate
owners and property owners
who make up the L'AHA are
combining funds with SC to
continue opposing the party
plan. which is to be voted on
next week. Some think the plan
is expected not only to move
students out of the campus area
but also to lower the business of
property owners on campus.

Association members. in-
cluding Campus Rental and SK
Chan. met last week and decid-
ed they will commit 85.000 to
the commercial.

"Our industry is under at-
tack." said Kige Kiger. the trea-
surer for the UAHA and a
Wassmer Properties employee.

Kiger said that because
property owners make their liv-
mg 017 students who lease their
homes on campus. the plan
would have an enormous im»

pact on the owners. Kiger said
the plan would lead students to
move away from campus prop-
erty.

The UAHA and SG com-
mercial will air on local news
channels and will target a polit-
ical audience. said Tim Robin~
son. 86 preSident.

80 has donated $5.000 to
the commercial. and Robinson
said the money is worth the
cause “We're sending the mes-
sage that if you do something
against students. the students
and SG are going to fight back."
he said.

The commercial. which
shows Urban County Council
members and highlights flaws
of the party plan. will air for
the first time Friday during the
evening news. Robinson said. It
will continue to air through
Thursday

Seventy campus area busi-
nesses. including Telly-Ho. Piz-
za Magia and Smoothie King
have signed petitions opposing
it. “The party plan would really
hurt our business." said Kim

Ho “It would be highly

What happened:

The Dec. 7. 1941. Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor was one of the
great detining moments in American history: A single. carefully
planned and well executed strike removed the US. Navy's battle-
ship force as a possible threat to the Japanese Empire's southward
expansion. Almost at the same time as the Pearl Harbor attack.
Japanese warplanes attacked the Philippines and two US. islands:
Wake and Guam. which were later occupied. Later in December.
.lapanese troops invaded Burma and Hong Kong.

Time of attack:

At t; «15 am. the US. destroyer Ward tires on and hits at the
waterline a Japanese midget submarine about 2 miles off the
entrance to Pearl Harbor The attacking planes came in two
waves; the first wave. made up of 183 fighters. bombers and
torpedo planes. hit its targets at 7:5; am. The second wave of35
tighters. 7H dive-bombers. and 31 high-altitude bombers attacked
at 8-33 Ry 9'33 it was all over. By 1 p.m. the carriers that
taunt lied the planes from 2374 miles off the coast of Oahu were
heading back to Japan.

Who planned the raid:

Admiral lsoroku Yamamoto commanded the Combined Fleet
below the outbreak of the Pacific War and during its first 16
months. He was responsible for planning the attack on Pearl
Harbor and most other major operations during this time. Vice
.\tl11111‘£1l t‘huichi Nagumo was in command ofthe operation.

Dead and wounded:

A total of 2.400 Americans were killed and 1.200 Were wound-

“Students are not going to

STAFF REPORT

The passing of the first
reading of the Lexington Area
Party Plan has led to ques
tions in the minds of more
than just students and land-
lords.

If the proposed party plan
passes and becomes city law.
Lexington l’olice would have
another ordinance to enforce,

While some may think the
additional law would prove
burdensome because officers
would have to patrol more ar
eas. Lexington's assistant
chief of patrol said it may not
have a great effect.

“Most likely we‘re going
to have to go to that party re
gardless of whether that ordi-
nance is there." Bill Thomp-

said. “What (the plan) does is
give us the power to make an
other charge,"

liut to best enforce the
policy. police may have to hire
additional officers

Thompson said it has not
been decided if more would be
needed.

"With anything. the more
officers you have. the better
you can enforce it." he said.

“The purpose of the plan was to
break down perpetual offend—
ers.“

Robinson and local busi-
ness owners disagreed.

More than 70 campus-area
business owners signed a peti-
tion opposing the plan. They
fear the plan could affect their
businesses by running students
away from the area.

Robin Jones. the president
of the Arcadia. Barberry.
Danzier and Shawnee Neighbor-
hood Associations. said the the
party plan isn‘t directed at stu-
dents.

“The heavier partyers tend
to flunk out." she said. “A com
munity is only livable if there‘s
mutual respect it cannot be
obtained if there‘s loud. lewd
noise and partying that pours
into the street."

More opposi-
tion signs to
the Lexhgton

Plan were

The plan was

cil. It will lie

The second reading and subse-
quent vote of the Lexington Area
Party Plan takes place at 7 pm.
Thursday in the Urban County
Council Chambers at the Govern-
ment Center, located at 200 E
Main St.

 

“I am for it but don‘t think
it's going to work." said Tim
Combs. the president of the
’l‘ransylvania Park Neighbor-
hood Association. “The conr
promise many want will come
later; this is a done deal for now.
Once the compromise arrives it
will be forgotten."

Urban City Council

llick l)e(,‘amp. 3rd district
council member. agrees with
the homeowners.

“The point of getting people
out of the neighborhoods is ex
aggerated." l)e(‘amp said. “The
purpose is to break down per-
petual offenders,”

Each side has their own
opinions. yet some still feel com-

promise would have helped.

Last week. 80 presented a
compromise. which was later
voted down.

“We asked all summer for
ideas When they came tip
with something it was too little
too late and they knew it." De-
(‘amp said.

SG disagrees.

Robert lialdwui. director of
the [K Symphony (Jrchestra.
sits in a chair while holding a
huge hook containing the must
cal score tor 'I‘cliaikoysky's ’I'lie
iVIlft‘Hll‘li‘l’!‘ The familiar scores
of the holiday classic ring
thioughout the room while
Baldwin'~ hands conduct in
peit'ect sync,

But the music isn't coming
from live musicians. It's com-
ing from a (‘I). And the per
formers in front of him aren't
his orchestra. but instead. bal-
let dancers doing a run—through
of their pt‘i'ilii‘lilllnCt‘.

What's going on are prepa-
rations for this weekend's per-
formance of The .\'urcrncker.
But it's not just your everyday
ballet danced to ”canned" mu-
sic This weekend‘s perfor-
mance will be the combination
of the live L'K Symphony ()r-
chestra accompanying the Ken-
tucky Ballet Theatre‘s dancers.

“The tact that we‘re not
pressing play and going with it.
that we're tuning the orchestra
and going with it gives it a hu-
man element and a much more
exciting energy {In the stage."
Baldwin said

Two vears ago. a member of
the ITK Symphony Orchestra

who was also familiar with the
Kentucky Ballet Theatre ap-
proached Baldwin about doing
a combined production. Balti-
win started asking questions.
trying to figure out if putting on
such a performance could possir
lily work.

“I think it's just a real testa-
ment to people being dedicated
to seeing it happen.“ Baldwin
said of making the idea reality.
“From the beginning this was
something I knew could hap-
pen. I didn't know how soon it
would happen. I was thinking
five years. But as soon as it
started happening. people did-
n't let up."

Initially. it seemed to him
like there would be obstacles
that would keep it from happen-
ing, But the more Baldwin
questioned. the more things
seemed to Work out in his fa-
vor. Finally. the decision was
made that it would work.

"I was surprised at how
quickly it did happen. when fi-
nally the School of Music advis
ery committee said ‘Yes. go
ahead with it.” Baldwin said.
“Before I knew it. we were do-
ing The Nutcracker."

But the task wasn‘t an easy
one. The Singletary Center had
to not only do some re-schedul-
ing to fit the performance in.
but also had to make changes to

the stage area to accommodate
the performance. which lii'
cludes more than lilo dancers
and 66 orchestra members

The School of Music (list)
had to grant special permission
for the orchestra students to
participate in the program.
since it takes place during dead
week.

But once that happened.
the excitement began among
members of the Kentucky Bal-
let Theatre as well as the UK
Symphony Orchestra.

“When we heard we were
going to do it I was tot illy ex
cited.‘ said Katie Mt: Intyres
nior violinist in the oichestia.
“I couldn't wait for the next
year to come. I thought it would
be awesome.“

“It's something to write
home to your mom about."
added senior violinist Jennifer
Higgins. “I‘m bragging about it
all the time."

Members of the Kentucky
Ballet Theatre are pleased with
the collaborative effort. and
they hope it's not the last time.
such a thing happens.

“The reason that it did fi-
nally happen is that it's mutual-
ly beneficial." said Rebecca
Ratliff. who dances in the Ken»
tucky Ballet Theatre and coor~
dinates their publicity "The
piece provides a great learning
tool for both the orchestra and

the ballet.“ Baldwm is especial-
ly excited about the exposure
the production has given the
[K Symphony Orchestra.

“It was. and still is. a wrin-
deriul learning experience."
Baldwin said. “It's unlike any
thing we‘ve done before."

“People in town and stu»
dents at the university need to
know we have a very spec1al
thing." Baldwin said. "Not Just
the orchestra. but the entire
School of Music. This is the
type of thing we can do to high»
light them ”

Besides being a timeless
masterpiece to put people in a
holiday mood. Baldwin said the
tuning of the production is good
for students during finals week
end as well.

“It's a perfect study break."
he said.
