Several students volunteered
yesterday to view campus life
from a different level about
three feet lower, to be specific.

The students. normally accus~
tomed to walking across campus.
spent part of the day sitting in
wheelchairs as they rolled through
an obstacle course designed to
raise awareness of handicapped
students.

The event was sponsored Stu-
dent (‘iov'emment Association‘s

Teresa Kennedy. an undeclared
sophomore arid member of Chi
Omega social sorority. said she
wanted to participate in the event
because she has a friend in a
wheelchair.

After completing her route.
Kennedy had a better understand-
ing of the problems facing stu-
dents in wheelchairs. Even simple
tasks. like crossing the street. can
be problematic.

had to go out into the middle of

Kennedy also laced another
problem: “The supposedly handi-
capped bathrooms needed to
be a little bit wider." she \dld.

Construction on campus also
proved to be a problem for partic—
ipants. Yvette Moorehead, a ther—
apeutic recreation senior. said she
discovered difficulties with
“walkways and divots in the side<
walk."

Three routes were used yesterv
day to cover the campus. each
with a varying level of difficulty

“Any uphill incline was espe-
cially hard." Hemenway' said al-
ter having completed the route.
“The thing that was most difficult
was getting in and out of doors.
especially doors within the butld-
ings.

“It is very important that we all
try to understand what handicap

this campus "

Anne laeger. SUA Handicap

she was pleased with the turnout
tor the event.

She said it allowed students to
understand that a disabling condi—
tion "does not begin within an iri-
dividual but rather within a poor
ly constructed ramp or a doorway
that is too narrow."

“We are not asking students to
complete entire routes. last that
the partieipants get a good sense
of the obstrucuons that handi—

Putting food on the table is some-
thing residents of UK housing don't
have to worry about. The UniverSi-
ty takes care of that for them by re-
quiring all residents to purchase a
meal plan.

"You can probably find an apart

Amendments to civil rights bill
to be debated by US. Senate

By WILLIAM M. WELCH
Associated Press

WASHINGTON -»— A major civ-
il rights bill remained stalled in the
Senate yesterday as leaders debated
ways of applying job protection to
the Senate‘s own employees and
other government workers.

With the main issues already set-
tled, the Senate faced a series of
amendments that again forced a de-
lay in a long-awaited final vote on
the compromise fashioned last
week by President Bush and leaders
of both parties.

Sen. Don Nickles (R-Okla.) of-
fered an amendment that would
cover congressional employees un-
der not only the civil rights bill but

Act and labor laws authorizing un—

ions, collective bargaining and
overtime pay.

“I think Congress needs to learn
what it‘s like to be under these
laws," Nickles said.

Sentiment was running high for
finding some way to cover Senate
employees with the protections
guaranteed by the civil rights bill.

But sponsors of the bill argued
that the Nickles amendment would
kill chances for the Overall legisla—
tion. They also said the plan would
violate the Constitution‘s separation
of powers provisions by subjecting
the legislative branch to enforce-
ment by the judicial or executive
branch.

“It is unthinkable. and would
have been to the Founding Fathers,
that an executive branch agency
such as the Department of Labor or
National Labor Relations Board,
would have jurisdiction over a
member of Congress." said Sen.
Warren Rudman (R-NH.)

“We are not your local manufac-
turer,” Rudman said. “We should
be subject to the same laws, but
hardly the same enforcement.”

“This is the most blatantly, fla-
grantly. obviously unconstitutional
proposal I’ve seen since I’ve been
in the Senate," said Majority Leader
George Mitchell (D-Maine).

A rival amendment. worked out
in negotiations between Mitchell
and Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa)
also would provide for coverage of
Senate employees but with modi-
fied enforcement procedures, in—
cluding appeal to the US. Circuit
Court of Appeals for a hearing by a
judge. It would extend the rights
bill to cover White House staff and
other political appointees.

Differences over applying the
laws to Congress cut across party
lines.

The issue has arisen before but
has resurfaced as a result of sexual
harassment charges surrounding the
confirmation of Supreme Court Jus-
tice Clarence Thomas. Bush provid-
ed fresh fuel for the debate last
week in a speech attacking Con-
gress for exempting itself from
many of the laws it imposes on the.
rest of the country.

Mitchell said the Nickles plan
was intended “to kill the civil rights
bill."

The amendment worked out by
Mitchell and Grassley would set up
a Senate Office of Fair Employ-
ment Practices to make decisions
on complaints by Senate employ-
ees. Its members would be indepen-
dent of the Senate.

     
    

KSU alumni ask regents” resignation

‘Assoclated Press

Kentucky State University aliim~
ni may sue the school‘s board of re-
gents, alleging that the nine-
member board has violated its own
bylaws and state and federal laws.

The federal violations stem from
the nine charges of neglect of duty.
incompetency and immoral conduct
against John T. Wolfe Jr. who re-
signed Oct. 18 as KSU president.

Before resigning, Wolfe filed a
complaint in Franklin Circuit Court
alleging that the entire board had

brought the charges against him.

The complaint was based on a
statement by board chairman Louie
Niinn at the board meeting when
the allegations were made public.
Ntinn said a majority of the board
had voted to bring charges. even
though only the board chairman can
bring charges against a university
president. according to state law.

Both the circuit court and the
state Court of Appeals ruled that the
charges were brought specifically
by Nunn. since he was the only per»
son who signed the charges.

Year’s best new films arrive this Christmas season

By GREG LABEFI
Contributing Critic

After a disappointing summer
season and a simply abysmal crop
of fall offerings, Hollywood is suf-
fering from major anxiety from its
Thanksgiving and Christmas releas-
es.

The near-panic state at the major
studios is understandable. Expected
summer blockbusters like “Dying
Young" did exactly that and this
fall has seen only a handful of note-
worthy films, namely “Dead
Again,‘ “The Fisher King" and

“Other People s Money."
Now, with the all- important

Christmas season almost upon
them, the studios are flooding local
theaters with movie trailers promot—
ing their upcoming films. Although
trailers are hardly a good source to
judge by as they tend to present a
movie‘s best moments, at least
there is some reason to believe the
climatic drought will come to a
close.

By far the most intriguing movie
trailer I have seen thus far is for the
big-screen debut of “The Addams
Family." A top-nOtch cast -— Anjel-
ica Huston, Raul Julia and Christo-
pher Lloyd who plays Uncle Fester
— headline a special- -effects extrav-
aganza of dark humor This may be

just the cure for those of us suffer-
ing from an onslaught of cutesy
kiddie flicks, AKA the “Home
Alone" syndrome.

Although the promotion for “Star
Trek Vl" stirs a tremendous feeling
of warmth and nostalgia on the se-
ries‘ 25th anniversary, it tells abso-
lutely nothing about the movie.
While lam a Trek fan, even i find it
difficult to get too excited about the
sixth entry in this aging series, es-
pec1ally following the disastrous
part five. One also has to wonder if
America is really ready to see an
aging Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoyi
involved in a romantic relationship
with Kim (‘attraL star of Mannt

quin."

The highest profile movie this
Christmas season is sure to be Ste-
ven Spielberg‘s “Hook." This adap-
tation of the age-old Peter Pan leg—
end boasts a cast that includes
Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams,
Julia Roberts. Bob Hoskins and a
cameo appearance by Glenn Close.
The trailer does little more than list
these big-name stars, but then With
talent like this, what more does it
need to say.’

Perhaps the most anticipated mo-
\IC this Christmas Will be Martin
Scorcese's commercial follow-up to
the critical smash ‘(ioodfellas "
I'eli film, ‘Cape 1 ar. reunites the

director with his favorite actor,
Robert De Niro, who plays a venge-
ful conv1ct pursuing his immoral
defense attorney, played by Nick
Noltc.

No doubt competing With “Cape

Band plays on: Hollywod keeps option on AIDS film alive

By DEBORAH HASTINGS
Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Arid The
Band Played 071, Randy Shilts"
613-page masterwork on AIDS, is
unusual fodder for a Hollywood
screenplay bidding war.

The book is chock full of mind-
numbing statistics and hundreds of
gay characters, living and dead.
Last, but hardly least, it powerfully
accuses the Reagan administration
of homophobia and of doing pre-
cious little to stop a disease that has
killed more people than the Viet—
nam War.

But And The Band Played 0n tit—
illated Tinseltown because it made
the New York Times best—seller list
and nearly everyone who was any-
one was talking about it.

So, four years ago, NBC and pro-
ducer Ed Scherick (“The Kennedys
of Massachusetts“) optioned the
rights to Shilts‘ book for a sum ru-
mored to hover near $250,000 #
one of the highest option prices ever
paid by a network

Two years later, Home Box Of-
fice paid Shilts another six- figure
amount when NBC and Scherick al—
lowed their contract to expire.

Still, not a single frame has been
shot.

Is it the subject matter? Is it be-
cause Hollywood is homophobic?

Well, said Shilts, yes and no.

Yes, the subject is difficult and
yes, Hollywood can be skittish
about homosexuality and acquired
immune deficiency syndrome. But
no, he said, he never saw such be-
havior in connection with his book.

Rather. he says, what has hap—
pened to his work is more a set of
bizarre Circumstances and misguid»
ed interpretations.

“It's very, very much alive."
Shilts said of the project.

HBO has publicly promised that
the pay cable network “absolutely

wood, no one ever says anything
like that," Shilts said. “Studios nev-
er say ‘we're absolutely going to
make a movie.‘ "

HBO said it is firmly behind the
project, even though “Dying
Young" and “Flatliners” director
Joel Schumacher abruptly quit
“And The Band Played On" in Sep-
tember, just four weeks before film-
ing was scheduled to begin in At-
lama.

Schumacher said he withdrew be
cause he was not comfortable with
Arnold Schulman's script. which
followed a docudrama format that
fictionaliyed conversations and
events.

“I just felt that if you‘re going to
do the history of AIDS for Li 10»

Schumacher said.

“If you're going to indict, you
can‘t liCUOI‘llill/L‘ at the same time."
the director said.

After seeing the script by Schul-
nian (who also wrote “A Chorus
Line" and “Tucker: The Man and
His Dream'd Schumacher said he
suggested dotng a documentary
along the lines of PBS successful
“CiViI War" series.

“That did not go over well with
anyone, including Randy," Schu-
macher said.

And so he told HBO “the bottom
line here is that I'm probablv the
wrong choice as director."

Both sides said the parting was
amicable.

HBO has put the project on hold
While it searches for a new director.
Filming tentatively is scheduled to
begin in January.

was picked up by Scherick and
NBC in 1987, the screenplay was
written by John Gay. who had

non-fiction book Fara! i'iiiun tor

That version was softer than the

One was the 1988 Writers Guild
of America strike, which crippled
Hollywood for months. Another
was NBC‘s I989 broadcast of “Roe
vs. Wade,“ a docudrama about the
ITS. Supreme Court case legalizing
abortion, which cost the network
heavy financial losses in advertiser
pullouts.

When the option expired, neither
Scherick nor NBC renew ed it.

Aaron Spelling, now the pro‘
ject's executive producer, cone
vinced HBO to pick up the rights.

Although Shilts did not write ei-
ther \cf'lpl. he consulted on both.
He also stipulated that “Patient
Zero" could never be a major char-
at‘ler.

The homosexual wanderings of
Patient Zero, whose real name was
Gaetan Dugas, have been used by
AIDS researchers to chart the Cpl'
demic's early spread.

Dugas' well—wom, fabric-
covercd address book held names
representing the AIDSanfected air-
hne steward‘s most passionate enr
counters with thousands of men

around the world.

Shilts has long accused the media
of sensationalizing Dugtts' sexual
appetite to the point of 0\'t‘T\hLl(lii'.\
ing the rest of the book.

The author also had another .NIII‘U‘
