Car maintenance
important on break

Staff reports

Y0u've booked rooms, picked up
a map and bought a new swimsuit.
The only thing left to worry about
in getting ready for your spring
break trip is how you are going to
get there. If you plan on driving,
there are several steps you can take
now and during your drive to make
the trip both cheaper and easier, ac-
cording to Blue Grass American
Automobile Association Founda-
tion for Safety.

Sharing the cost by riding with
others can be a great money saver,
but count on splitting more than the
cost of gasoline. There also is the
tab for oil, maintenance and wear
on tires to be considered. The aver-
age cost of operating a car is nine
cents per mile. To get the actual
cost of the trip, multiply the number
of miles you expect to travel by .09,
and divide the total by the number down. Check tire inflation. Under-

Broadcasting students form group

By STEVE FLEMING
Contributing Writer

Students interested in radio and
television broadcasting are getting
organized. The UK Kentucky Radio
and Television Association. a group
which was born jUSl last month. oil
fers informal meetings for broad-
casting students.

The UK School of Journalism
needs such a program. said Noelle
Cress. a Journalism Junior and a
founding member of the group.

“UK is known for its press and
the (Kentucky) Kernel. and the
broadcast students are left out. The
KBA (Kentucky Broadcasters As-
sociation) doesn't see us as a source

of broadcasters," Cress said.

UKRTA plans to be an active
group. It currently is planning a trip
to Louisville. Ky.. for the April 20
Kentucky Broadcasters Association
Convention.

Funding for the trip probably wrll
come from the students’ pockets be-
cause the group does not yet have a
source of income. Members plan to
hold fund-raisers in the future. but
they have not crossed that bridge
yet. Meetings still are primarily ore
ganizational.

Presently. several students in
UKRTA are involved in “News
Conference of the Air," a WUKY’
FM (91.3) radio talk show. "News
Conference of the Air" airs at 6:30

on Sunday evenings. It is run al-
most entirely by students. While a
panel of three students interviews
prominent guests. other students op~
crate the technical side of the show.

This week “News Conference of
the Air“ will conclude its three-pan
series with SGA presidential candi-
dates. Two candidates are ques-
tioned for 15 minutes each to fill
half-hour show. Cress said the idea
is to “get them on the show and ask
what their platform will be and
what they plan to accomplish.” She
is hoping that more students will
start listening to WUKY.

UK President Charles Wething-
ton recently was interviewed on

“News Conference of the Air." Stu-
dents who interviewed Wethington
not only gained on-air experience.
but they also gained insight on the
interviewee. At last Friday's UKR-
TA meeting Nancy Trentham. a
journalism sophomore. told of a
nervous Wethington. He was eager
to know what questions would be
asked ahead of time, she said. His
anxiety was unnecessary though. as
he was “well-rehearsed" enough to
handle the questions.

The organization is advised by
David Dick. director of the School
of Journalism. With 19 years of ex-
perience at CBS, he is a valuable

Ky. unemployment rate at three-year high

Associated Press

FRANKFURT. Ky. «v The na-
tional recession kept its grip on
Kentucky in January. prompting the
state unemployment rate to leap to

was 8.4 percent, up from the rate in
December of 7.5 percent. The rate

State labor market analyst Ed
Blackwell said seasonal job losses
made the effects of the recession
even worse.

”From December to January. we
suffered a 29.000 job loss and con-
struction and trade accounted for a
little more than half of that de—
erease." Blackwell said.

Blackwell said there is some rea-
son for optimism because the actual

number of people working in the
state is up from a year ago.

The cabinet’s estimate of the
number of Kentuckians working in
January was 1,650,100. down
37.900 from December but up
30,400 from January I991.

The number of unemployed Ken-
tuckians was 151,300 in January,
up 14,400 from December and
21,900 more than January I991.

Statt reports

For students tired of the same
old college food. Tropical Para-
dise at the Blazer Courtyard was
the place to be yesterday.

Many “tropical" food items
were available. Among them
were teriyaki steak, chicken
gumbo soup and Polynesian
fried rice. Guava fruit punch and
desserts like banana supreme
cake also were available.

Music provided by the Dem
Reggae Bon Band resinated
throughout the walls of Blazer
Courtyard on North Campus.

spirit of the occasion. Each
worker wore leis and all tables
were decorated with colored ta-
blecloths.

Door prizes such as T-shirts,
coolers and a clock were award-
ed to lucky diners.

All this was available for un-
der SS. If you missed it, don’t
worry. because Blazer probably
will have more specials before
the end of the semester.

“We have several of these
each year. many depending on
the season." said Ema Jean
Niles, director of Blazer Dining
Services.
