Words of wisdom

Marriage

As the summer months
approach there will
be several weddings,
many by graduating
college students.
Take a peek at the
following and
remember these
when you celebrate
your l0-year
anniversary.

l0 merry accounts of the
experience of
marriage:

Getting married is very
much like going to a
restaurant with
friends. You order
what you want, then
when you see what
the other person has,
you wish you had
ordered that.

At a cocktail party, one
woman said to
another, “Aren't you
wearing your
wedding ring on the
wrong finger?" The
other replied, “Yes I
am. I married the
wrong man."

After a quarrel, a
husband said to his
wife, ”You know, I
was a tool when I
married you." She
replied, "Yes, dear,
but I was in love and
didn't notice."

A lady inserted an ‘ad' in
the classifieds:
“Husband wanted."
Next day she
received a hundred
letters. They all said
the same thing: “You
can have mine.”

A little boy asked his
father, “Daddy, how
much does it cost to
get married?" And
the father replied, “I
don’t know son, I'm
still paying."

Marriage is the triumph
of imagination over
intelligence. Second
marriage is the
triumph of hope over
experience.

If you want your spouse
to listen and pay
strict attention to
every word you say,
talk in your sleep.

First guy (proudly): “My
wife's an angel!"
Second guy: “You're
lucky, mine's still
alive."

How do you scare a
man? Sneak up
behind him and start
throwing rice.

What makes men chase
women they have no
intention of
marrying? The same
urge that makes dogs
chase cars they have
no intention of
driving.

Students debate
diner account

Charge it

TUESDAYKENTUCKY

 

 

J0llll mt: | llERNEL STAFF

Sarah Fitzgerald, an ISC sophomore, attempts to spend all of her food account funds at Blazer Xpress on Friday.

By Jill Gorin
NEWS EDITOR

The end of the semester is fast
approaching. and some students
find themselves with a plethora of
money left on their diner and plus
accounts.

“I ltave about 150 dollars left."
said Emily Helton. a psychology
freshman. “I've been buying food
for my friends."

The students are forced to
spend all of the money on their ac-
counts because even though $50
will carry over between the Fall
and Spring semesters. it doesn‘t
carry over to the next school year.
Refunds on diner accounts are also
not a possibility.

Carol Raitz. food services di-
rector. said they have good rea-
sons for keeping the money from
diner accounts.

“Food services are self-fund-
ed." she said. “We don‘t get a pen-
ny from tuition or the government.
We use that money for labor and

equipping facilities in the halls."

She said when students re-
ceive their diner accounts and pay
$675. they are forming a contract
with food services.

“That's their part of the agree-
ment.“ she said. ”You say you'll
spend that much money. and we
say we‘ll have facilities open close
to the residence halls that are close
and safe places for students to pur-
chase food.

“It‘s a contract with the par-
ents." she said.

But students still think the
fact that the money doesn‘t roll
over into the next semester is not
fair,

“I have tons of money left on
my account. It makes it harder be»
cause it‘s mandatory.“ said Tonya
Griffith. an English and women‘s
studies senior. “It should be op~
tional."

But Raitz said most students
don‘t have enough money on their
accounts at the end of the semester.

“If students eat one balanced a

day. they will have no problem
consuming their dollars.“ she said.
“They will have no problem spend-
ing their tnoney.“

Griffith finds this to be a prob
lem.

"I'm a Vegan." she said. “I
don't eat milk. eggs, cheese. meat
or sonte bread. Even though I don't
eat a lot of the things they offer.
I'm having to spend all of this
money."

Plus accounts. Raitz said. are
voluntary and refunds are lxissilile.

And if students run ottt of
money from their diner accounts.
the computers know automatically
to take money frotn their plus ac
count.

Some students said they are
lacking money on their plus ac
counts and blame the food costs on
campus.

“I‘ve been putting more money
on it all semester." said Nathan
Laake. a marketing freshman.
“The. food in the (‘ommons is just
too expensive."

 

AHERIHEDRAMA

Waco tapes shows no gunfire

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A preliminary review of in-
frared videotapes made during the
final hours ofthe Branch Davidian
siege found no firearm muzzle
flashes from either federal agents
or sect members. a judge said at
pretrial hearing yesterday.

US. District Judge Walter
Smith described the court experts‘
findings for attorneys for the plain-
tiffs and the government at the be-
ginning of a pretrial hearing to de-
termine whether key evidence
gathered after the fiery raid was
mishandled.

Davidian leader David Koresh
and some 80 followers died during
the April 19. 1993. fire that oc-
curred several hours into an FBI
tear-gassing operation intended to
end the sect‘s 51-day standoff.

The government contends
their deaths. whether from fire or
gunshot wounds. came by their
own hands.

The plaintiffs argue in their
wrongful death lawsuit that gov-
ernment gunfire cut off the Davidi-
ans‘ only avenue of escape from

the fire. They also contend the
FBI’s on-scene commanders did lit-
tle to prepare for the possibility of
fire despite Attorney General
Janet Reno‘s order that they be
ready for all emergencies.

The judge told the lawyers that
the review of the infrared video-
tape detected about 57 "thermal
events.“ defined as flashes of light
signifying heat.

There “were no muzzle blasts
frotn either Branch Davidians or
government agents." Smith told at-
torneys.

He added that the only person
detected on the tape was a Branch
Davidian who was on a roof.

Smith cautioned that he does
not consider the report to be incon-
trovertible evidence.

Preliminary results from a re-
cent court-ordered simulation of
the siege showed that flashes
caught on infrared videotape were
most likely sunlight reflecting off
debris. not government gunfire as
plaintiffs claim. Experts expect to
submit their analysis of that simu-
lation to the court by May 8.

Smith was also expected to re

lRANSPQRIAIlQfl,

Motorists
aviod natural
gas change

Motorists bypass the cheaper natural gas
to head for the conventional filling stations

ASSOCIATED PRESS

In one of history's great. unrequited romances. American
motorists again are getting socked by the cars they love.

Yet even as the rising price of gasoline has drivers begging
for relief. they whiz by natural gas alternatives and head for
conventional filling stations where they‘ll pay nearly twice as
much.

"Americans are lit love with their gasoline engines." said
Ralph Ranson. vice president of Natural (ias ’l‘ransportation Co.
in Charleston. W, Va. "They don't understand how clean and
safe natural gas ts.“

Gasoline reigns. even in West Virginia. which sits on bil-
lions of cttbic feet ofnatural gas. The state offers motorists a tax
break to convert cars to natural gas. but it has had few takers.

"Oil-producing interests have perpetuated dependence."
said Ilill McGIinchey. facility manager at the National Alterna-
tive Fuel ’l‘raining (‘onsortium at West Virginia University.

Nigel (‘lark. a professor at WVII's (‘ollege of Engineering
attd Mineral Resources. says natural gas-powered cars are being
ignored becatise of consumer inertia and the easy access to
gasoline.

A lack of natural gas filling stations also slows growth in
natural gas—powered cars. With 26 natural gas fuel stations.
West Virginia is among the top five states in the number of sta-
tions per person. McUlinchcy says.

That's still not many.

“You can go frotn border to border on any interstate across
West Virginia and fill all along. But it is an adventure to find
those fuel stations." Mclilinchey said.

With a price of 7:”; cents to SI for the natural-gas equivalent
of one gallon of gasoline. Senior Airman Ron Dean of the Air
National (iuard in (‘harlcston said he‘s “tempted a lot" to con-
vert his car to natural gas

One recent day. Dean was filling a governmentissued 1992
Ford truck at a natural gas outlet in Charleston. He used a hose
similar to a conventional gasoline hose nozzle. attaching it to a
tank under the front hood. The hose hissed as it filled the en-
gine. making a sound like air escaping from a tire.

But despite a loo-mile daily commute between Work anti his
home in Iluntington. Dean said he's not ready to roll with the
technology that dates to the early 1960s.

A l'S. Energy Department spokesman said cost savings are
not enough to pump tip interest in natural gas-operated cars.

”People are hedging their bets. hoping oil and gas prices
come down." said David Rodgers. director of the Office of Tech-
nology l‘tilization itt Washington. “They‘re not going to change
buying practices until they‘re sure that prices stay high."

Louisville wants
lower enrollment

The University of Louisville makes changes
to raise level of academic achievement

ASSOCIATED PiliSS

University of Louisville President John Shumaker wants to
cut enrollment and several departments to raise the school's lcvr
e] of acadetnic achievement attd strengthen its connection to the
community

“We‘re doing a lot of things pretty well. and we should be
doing fewer things very well.” Shumakcr said. "We have too
many programs and too many students for the resources we‘ve
got."

Shumaker. who was hired in 1995. is in the midst of his 11-
year “(‘hallenge for I‘lxccllence" plan to raise l‘oll. to top status
as a metropolitan research university.

The school had 30.793 students last fall. Admission stan
dards are being raised to trim enrollment by about aso. Shu
maker also wants to attract more doctoral candidates and admit
better~qualified freshmen who will stay and graduate

A massive fttndrraising effort is at the core of Shumaker‘s
vision. The recently completed Bicentennial (‘ampaign has
raised $352 million far above the original goal of $120 tnillion
set in I995. The tnoney includes $33 million in state “Bucks for
Brains" matching money to create llllllltllHIUIlt’ll' endowed facul
ty chairs.

With that influx of money. the university has more than
dottbled its endowment to $413.7 million: created .‘l-t new en
dowed faculty positions: built a medical research building. (lor-
mitories and other facilities; brought top tnedical researchers to
campus; and increased the number of scholarships.

flut one fortner employee of Val. thinks the plan is explain-
able.

“If you think about where the money is. in a lot of instances
in higher education you set your agenda based on where you
can be successful and also where you can get support." said Lar-
ry Goldstein. who was formerly I‘l.‘s treasttrer and vice presi»
dent for finance

“It doesn't mean you ignore the other areas. bill it means
you don‘t approach them in the same way."

Space shuttle launch delayed

CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla. —— Gusty winds
prevented space shuttle Atlantis from lifting off
yesterday on a mission to repair and restock the
international space station. Launch managers

launch Atlantis. fresh from a major overhaul.
The launch window is shorter than usual in or-

Gov't looks at breaking up Microsoft

WASHINGTON . , The Justice Department
and 19 states that successfully sued Microsoft for
antitrust violations are considering ways to
break up the software giant. a source close to the

saying that none of its business practices justify
"such an extreme and radical“ remedy as a
breakup of the company. However. any kind of
divestiture is part of a ”full array of options“ be-
ing discussed. the source said. News about the
proposed remedy sent Microsoft shares plummet-
ing yesterday. sending ripples through Wall
Street. The stock was down 15 percent in trading
on the Nasdaq Stock Market. and the Nasdaq
composite index was down sharply.

Jesse Jackson
visits Louisville

ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Rev. Jesse Jackson led a rally Sunday through downtown
Louisville. Nearly 2,000 people were in attendance.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE. Ky. — The
Rev. Jesse Jackson led about
2.000 people. many of them
carrying signs with anti-po-
lice messages. in a peaceful
rally through downtown
Louisville on Sunday.

The march was organized
by a group of clergy. city al-
dermen and Jackson‘s Rain-
bow Coalition/ PUSH. Jackson
visited the city late last month
to visit the family of a black
car theft suspect who was shot
and killed by two white police
men last May.

Jackson's visit followed a
month of strained relations
between police and City Hall
after Mayor Dave Armstrong
fired the police chief for ap-
proving commendations for
the two white officers. The
awards ignited outrage in the
black community over the
shooting of Desmond Rudolph.
and the chiefs firing prompt-
ed two protest marches by police.

Jackson invoked the up-
coming Kentucky Derby in a
speech outside a Louisville
church, which was abbreviat-

ed by early-evening rain.

“We want the same thing
the horses want in the Ken-
tucky Derby,“ Jackson said.
“No horse is limited by color
and we all want the best hay.
And we want to be able to
start at the same gate whether
or not your daddy was a cer-
tain kind of horse."

The rally began at the
Quinn Chapel AME Church.
Prayer and hymns preceded
several speakers. including
city Alderwoman Denise Bent-
ley. Bentley addressed her
concerns of a recent crack-
down city police made regard-
ing Derby “parties" in a pre-
dominantly African-Amercian
area.

“We're sending a strong
message with this march be-
cause there are people of all
ages and races here." Bentley
said. “But we are sending an-
other message. too. The city
won‘t stop our Derby. We will
party. The Derby is for every-
one."

Louisville police reported
no disturbances and made no
arrests during the two-hour
event.

Bonham ready to go

Artist brings musicianship and craftsmanship back to the stage

By Patrick Avery

SIAff VRIIER

"After sitting on the couch for two years. I'm ready to go

again."

After hitting it big with the single “Mother. Mother" four
years ago. Tracy Bonham does not know what to expect from her

just released sophomore album. Dorm Here.

“I have no idea where it‘s [the album] going." Bonham said

"It‘s doing well in Europe and Australia."

“After the last tour. I didn't know if] could do this anymore."
Bonham said. "I have a song on my new record called ‘Second

Wind' that sort of explains my journey with this new record."

Bonham‘s musical roots run deep. She began with the

recorder and eventually picked up the guitar.

At age nine. Bonham picked up the violin. Her sister tried to
learn the violin earlier. but that did not deter Bonham
from mastering the violin herself.

“I was a natural and just stuck with it. partly be-
cause my sister didn't make it and partly because I

just loved it." Bonham said.

In the third grade. Bonham transferred from an
alternative arts school that she did not like. She
ended up at the school where her mother taught

music.

"It was embarrassing because she would
give me all the solos in choir and of course the
other kids did not like that." Bonham said

She continued singing in choir and played
in a string orchestra throughout high school.

“I went to IISC on a full scholarship for
playing the violin." Bonham said. “But I
transferred to UC-Berkeley after two years."

Bonham did not finish school. a record
deal substituting for her education.

“All ofit just sort of fell in my lap." Bon-
ham said. “I was floating around in a wed-
ding band. and a guy from Island Records spot-
ted me and said he would give me an immediate deal.
That kind of freaked me out so I didn‘t take it. But the

other deals started coming in."

One of Bonham‘s goals remains to write film

SCOFOS.

“I am a big movie fan." Bonham said. “ My fa-
vorite director is Wim Wonders. I love everything he
does. My favorite film scores are the ones by Gabriel
Yared, the guy who did ‘The English Patient‘."

With bands Travis and Elliot Smith in her CI)
player. Bonham prepares to hit the road with Local H

and Live.

“1 plan on having fun rocking out." Bonham said.

They met. jammed and harmo-

acoustic duo.

“Kyle pledged the same fra-

that I played guitar and we just
started writing. We found that
our creative minds work well
together." Antonini said.

Antonini. an economics se-
nior said that even though he
and Knapp work so well togeth-
er. they did face a challenge
when it came to determining a
name for their duo.

“We have changed the
name of our duo three times.
First. we were called Blue Wa-
ter. which we hated. Then we
changed our name to Every-
thing and People. which no one
could remember. Then. one of
our girlfriends said that it
would be funny to say ‘I am go-
ing to the bar to see That Guy.”
Antonini said.

That Guy seemed interest-
ing to Knapp and Antonini. so
it stuck. With an interesting ap-
proach to music. they began
jamming together in November

 

of 1998. and before they knew it.
they were playing at .Ioplin‘s

A year and a half later. they
have a regular crowd at Kitty

“I love playing at Kitty‘s be-
cause everybody gets so drunk
and a lot of crazy things can
happen." Antonini said. “We
are animated with the crowd.
We like to talk and get involved
with them."

Knapp and Antonini re-

esting dynamic" because their
styles differ significantly from
each other.

They attributed their differ-
ing personalities and styles to
their influencing musicians.

Both members of That (iuy

"We play so often that we
really don't need to practice.
We also play a lot of the same
songs.“ Knapp said.

Even though they don‘t
practice and they agree that
their personalities are totally
different. they still feel that
their collaborative skills allow
them to perform better than a
full band would.

"We complement each oth-
er well. We pretty much collab-
orate on all of our music." An-
tonini said. “Sometimes we
come up with a lick and work
frotn there sometimes we jam
and come up with something
we like."

They tend to play the usual
crowd pleasers for their cus-
tomers. but they also mix it up
sometimes with a complete set
of improvisation.

“We work so well together
that our songs just happen. We
write them on the spot. In be-
tween songs. I will strum and
he will start singing.“ Knapp
said. “We read each other very
well like jazz musicians."

admitted to seeking the same

Characters aren't the only ones confused as new
movie waffles between comedy and drama.

By Patrick Avcly
STAFF CRITIC

The premise of Holy Smoke in-
trigues even the filmgoer that shows
up for action pictures only, and not
just because beautiful Kate Winslet
shows her entire naked body in this
flick.

The movie begins in Delhi. India.
where Ruth (Winslet) joins a cult de-
spite the disapproval of her friend.
The friend runs home to Australia to
inform Ruth's parents that Ruth may
be lost to the world.

Ruth's parents hire I’J Waters
(Harvey Keitel). the best cult-exiter in
the business. Ruth's mom goes to In
dia and tricks Ruth into coming back
saying that her father will die. Ruth
reluctantly returns only to be tricked
into the care of P.) Waters.

Ruth and PJ head out into the
outback of Australia for Ruth's crash
course in Cult-Exiting 101.

Here we learn of the three-step
exiting process: Step 1 , Isolate and
earn her respect; Step 2 Move her
props and get her angry and; Step 3
Get her to cry and make up with her
parents. The trip into the desert looks
less than promising with Ruth forev-
er claiming. “you‘re never going to
break me."

Holy Smoke. a confused movie.
does not know whether to be a drama
or a screwball comedy. Scenes where
I’J goes running through the desert
in a red dress with lipstick on and a
sex scene where Ruth pees on herself
would normally be found in a Mel
Brooks spoof. not in :1 Jane Campion
drama.

The best scene in the movie in

llarvey leltel stars
along kate linslet
la the new film Holy
Smoke. linslet
doesn't need to
make much oi a
stretch In the
accent department
as she plays an
Australian woman
who joins a cult.
The all-too-olen-
naked Keltel plays
the man hired to
de-program her.

PHOTO FURNISHED

volves a family member. Yvonne.
played by actress Sophie Lee. Yvonne
explains to PJ that she is having an
affair. but not in the conventional
way. She posts pictures of Hollywood
stars on her wall and thinks that she
is having sex with them instead of
her husband. “Who‘s gonna want me
when they know how many guys I've
slept with?“ she exclaims.

Holy Smoke contains top-notch
performances but does not succeed
completely because of the muddled
story line.

Director Jane Campion knows
how to make a great film. as evi-
denced by her Academy Award win-
ning
