By SHARLA HENSLEY
Staff Writer

34th annual event at 8 tonight at
Memorial Hall as students use
charm and wit to try to win dates.

am and AP reports

UK pitcher Rod Bolton was
named the Southeastem Conference
Pitcher of the Week yesterday after
his 5-4 win over the University of
Mississippi Rebels Saturday at
Shively Field.

“I’m surprised.” Bolton said. “I
knew I had a good game. but I did
not know how everybody else in
the conference did.

“I’m glad Dan'in (Rieman) hit the
home run," said Bolton, referring to
the game-winning hit in the bot-
tom of the ninth inning.

In going the distance for the
sixth time this year, Bolton earned
his fifth win against four losses.
All four runs scored off Bolton
were unearned. Bolton‘s 1.64 ERA
leads the SEC.

Bolton struck out 12 strikeouts

Basketball

RALEIGH, NC. —— North Caro-
lina State point guard Chris Cor-
chiani says he is no longer consid-
ering transferring to the UK.

Corchiani's father, Gabe, said
Sunday night the lack of a scholar-
ship made the UK transfer unattrac-
tive.

Under the NCAA penalty UK
was assessed in 1989. it is limited
to giving three scholarships a year
for the next two years. All three
have been awarded for 1990-91. UK
was asking Corchiani to walk on
next season and accept a scholar-
ship in 1991-92.

The elder Corchiani said if his
son doesn’t stay with the Wolf—
pack, he will transfer to Louisiana
State, Connecticut, Florida State or
New Orleans.

The NCAA Interpretations Com-
mittee has refused to hear Corchia-
ni’s appeal that he be allowed to
play immediately if he transfers. He
had originally said he would be

willing to sit out a year at UK.

Corchiani is considering a trans—
fer from NC. State because of that
school’s recent decision to release
Coach Jim Valvano.

Racing

The Red Mile is attacking all
fronts in hopes of attracting har-
ness-racing fans this spring.

The track's board of directors last
year considered dropping the spring
meeting after a 17 percent decrease
in handle and 11 percent decrease in
attendance. They cited the lottery
and intertrack wagering at Keene-
Iand as the primary reasons for the
declines.

The spring meeting, which be-
gins its 58-day run April 27, will
offer reduced admissions. more
stakes races and a new entertain-
ment area. The track also applied to
the Kentucky Harness Racing
Commission to receive simulcasts
from Ellis Park in Henderson for
intertrack wagering.

The new admission policy will
set a single price of $3 for parking,
a program and general admission.
The package had cost $4.50.

The track will offer more than
$300,000 in 29 stakes races.

DIVERSIONS

Nick Lowe hopes other stars appreciate humorous satire

By DAVID BAUDER
Associated Press

ALBANY, NY. —— It’s impor—
tant. Nick Lowe says, for musi-
cians to have a sense of humor.
He’s hoping English pop star Rick
Astley feels the same way.

That’s because Astley and his hit
song, “Never Gonna Give You
Up,” is the subject of a verse on
“All Men Are Liars," a cut on
Lowe's new album. Since Lowe
rhymes “Astley” with “ghastly,"
it's not exactly a tribute.

“I didn’t really go after him, I
went after this horrible song that he
sang — ‘Never going to tell a lie,
never going to do anything horrible
to you. I’m always going to be this
lump of jelly, this pathetic crea-
ture,m Lowe said.

“They tell me — I’ve never met
Rick — that he‘s a very nice man
and will think this is quite amus-
ing,” Lowe said. “I hope so."

Lowe’s humor — sometimes
perverse, sometimes comball — is
never far from the surface. This is a
man who’s written songs such as
“Time Wounds All Heels” and ”
(Hey Big Mouth) Stand Up and Say
That." When David Bowie released
an album called “Low," Lowe retal-
iated with “Bowi.”

Critics, however, accuse Lowe of
being glib and not showing enough
care in his craft. For every joke that

hits. several fall flat. After two mi-
nor classic albums in the late
l970s. and a hit single with “Cruel
to Be Kind," Lowe’s name hasn’t
been seen on too many record
charts.

The back cover of Lowe’s 1987
“Pinker and Prouder Than Previ-
ous" album shows Lowe with his
back to a brick wall, gazing moum—
fully at an out-of—reach sign that
said “Marketplace.” Not many peo-
ple noticed the irony, since few
people bought the record.

“I’ve made some really terrible
records,” Lowe conceded. “I ’ve done
my best, but if you’re no good,
you’re no good. That’s the way it
goes.”

The 40-year—old Liverpool native
said he spent much of the last two
years watching television, suffering
from a crisis of confidence.

“I went through a pretty desperate
time," he said. “My band packed in.
.. I couldn‘t work out how I fit
into the music business. How is
it that on paper I’m a washed-up
Old has-been"? Yet, personally, I feel
I haven’t started yet?"

Lowe, who favors country and
blues-inflected records that sound as
if they were cut live in the studio,
said he watched with dismay as mu-
sic became riiore mechanized
through the 1980s. Mtisic by typ-
ists, he called it.

His first step in a “comeback”

came when pal Elvis Costello in—
vited Lowe to be an opening act on
a solo acoustic tour. Standing in
front ofan audience with just a gui-
tar teaches you quickly whether a
song is working or not, he said. It
made him take the craft of song-
writing more seriously, he said.
And luckily for Lowe, in the au-
dience for a solo show at London’s
Mean Fiddler club was an old
friend, Warner Bros. Records execu-
tive Andrew Wickham. Lowe’s
contract with Colutnbia Records in
the United States had Just run out.
“It was a tough crowd, a lot of
hecklers and drunken lrishinen,"
Wickham recalled. “He won them
over immediately Just through
sheer wit. He held the room, he
commanded the room. It’s not
many people who can do that.
That‘s one of the main reasons why
lsigntxl him.‘~
Lowe quips that he “sneaked into
Wamer Bros. on Elvis Costello’s
coattails.” Costello, who's had sev-
eral of his albums produced by
Lowe, recently swnched from Co-
lumbia Records to Warner Bros.
The ll Ct)lllp()\ltl()n\ on “Party
of One" are the same frothy pop
confections for which Lowe is
known. Despite songs such as
”Jumbo Ark“ and "Sitting-Slicing,"
Lowe‘s choice of colleagues shows
a seriousness of purpose he‘s not
always had. Dave F..lmunds pro—

duced “Party of One" and Ry Corxl-
er and Jim Keltner also perfonned.

Lowe likes material that is fun-
ny, even when it's not overtly
comical. The sneak attack on As-
tley is not unprecedented. His first
album similarly ridiculed the Bay
City Rollers.

“I can only do and say what I
think,” he said. “1’“ get up some
people’s noses, perhaps, but if I
get up some people’s noses,
they've really got to be insecure."

In the course of a 30-minute in—
terview, he mocks Phil Collins
(“Why doesn’t he just get out of
the way and let someone else have
a go?”), Richard Marx and Bad
English. And Nick Lowe.

Kentucky Kernel, Tuesday, April 17, 1990 — 3

For instance, he said the songs
on “Basher,” his recent compilation

(ID, were chosen by taking a list of

all the songs he’s ever recorded and
“crossing out all the ones that un-
der no circumstances did we want to
be reminded of.”

Commercial success is nice, but
he‘s not willing to sell his soul for
it, Lowe said. It heartens him to
see someone whose work he re-
spects does well, such as when
Bonnie Raitt won four Grammy
awards last month.

“I spoke to her last week, and
she's cool enough not to be cool
about it.” he said. “She‘s just
grooving out. She was so chami-
mg. I said to her, ‘Bonnie, this is

The psych exam is in L! hours. And your id wants to party. Your ego

VIEWPOINT

Student support
neededfor LKD
to be successful

Today, one of UK’s oldest traditions begins. Although it is
34 years old, few people associate the Little Kentucky Derby
with University life. Most people recognize the the ping-pong
ball drop, but for the most part campus participation in LKD

has been dismal.

This year the Student Activities Board has taken a different
approach to LKD by promoting it better and letting the campus
know about it’s events. But the ultimate success of LKD rests
with the campus. While the Lexington community certainly

should be encouraged and welcomed to become a part of LKD,

the primary purpose should be to serve the student body.

Some of the events this week include carnivals, concerts and

the Blue—White football game.

And the best thing about this week is that all of the events are

free with no risk to buy anything. You couldn’t ask for a
better deal. And what’s better, at the end of this week, $2,500
in scholarships will be given away.

Toward the end of the spring semester, things get pretty
harry. Papers, oral reports and other assignments all seem to
be due within the last two weeks. And then there’s finals.

But after spending a long day in the Margaret I. King
Library looking for a book that doesn’t exist or trying to study

in one of those friendly cubicles. spend some time at one of the

concerts or carnivals.

In addition to blowing off some steam, LKD is a good
opportunity to meet people from other disciplines and majors.

One of the Lexington Campus’ major drawbacks is that there

are few events other than football and basketball games that
bring all students, faculty and staff together. LKD is one way
for the campus to come together as a community and bridge
some of the gaps that academics places between us.

Suicide not answer
to your depression

Sara and John broke up over
three months ago. Since that time
Sara has been moping around her
apartment sure that she‘ll never
find someone else. She’s been ne-
glecting her classes and her friends
and has lost 15 pounds off her al-
ready slender figure.

Greg will be a junior this fall.
He entered UK with the intention
of graduating in accounting. But
this semester he is failing account—
ing-202 and barely passing statis-
tics-291. He is certain that he‘s a
failure and that he has disappointed
his father, an accountant. He's so
afraid and ashamed that he has con-
templated suicide. “After all,” he
thinks, “I can‘t do anything right
in this world, why bother?"

These students are suffering from
depression. Psychology Today
calls depression “the most com-
monly identified mental health
problem among university stu-
dents.”

Depression occurs when one’s
distressing emotions take over. It
is a distortion of normal emotions,
such as sadness and anger. that af-
fects one’s body, thinking, emo-
tions and spirit.

People suffering from depression
often have such physical com-
plaints as fatigue, change in appe-
tite, sleep problems, aches and
pains, digestive problems and loss
of sex drive. Many depressed peo-
ple complain of weakness, dizzy
spells, chest pains and headaches.

Other symptoms of depression
include poor concentration, dwell-
ing on the past. irritability. over-
reaction, social isolation, hopeless-
ness and suicidal thoughts. Of
course there are many others de-
pending on the individual and the
situation.

Often it is difficult to recognize
the depressed person. Out of shame
or guilt they hide their emotions,
possibly even from themselves.
However, there is one symptom
recogni/able in all depressed people
— lack ofjoy and pleasure in life.

For those suffering from depres-
sion. there is hope. One cannot
solve all of his/her problems at

once. By taking small, positive,
selfvcare steps, a depressed person
can begin fighting depression.

For example, just taking a show-
er in the morning and picking out
something nice to wear can boost
one’s self-esteem. Also, remember
that no situation is so hopeless
that a solution cannot be found.

One can start with letting go of
the past and adopting a positive
outlook for the future.

If you feel that your problems
are more than you can handle, con-
sider talking to a psychologist in
UK’s Mental Health Service in
Student Health. To make an ap-
pointment, call 233-5511.

Another source of support is
UK’s Counseling and Testing Cen—
ter, 310 Frazee Hall. The center’s
number is 257-8701. Please let the
receptionist know if the situation
is urgent.

Both servrces are free and confi-
dential to all full-time UK stu-
dents.

The Counseling Psychology Ser—
vices is offered out of a graduate
training program. It provides a full
range of counseling to the Lexing-
ton community. For more informa-
tion. call 257-5662.

Also, make an appointment to
see your doctor or stop by Student
Health. It is possible that your de-
pression could be the result of a
medical problem or may be causing
physical symptoms.

If you are contemplating suicide,
remember: Suicide is a permanent
solution to temporary problems. It
is forever, not just for the victim
but for those around the victim, the
friends and family. Life is too pre-
cious to be wasted. Count your
blessings and seek help for your
troubles — solutions can be found.
