Originally planned to take place on
Stoll l‘iield. But the field's soggy condi~
t‘ions moved the event to the Student
Center parking lot.

' ' “hen the weather later cooperated.
the various events brought students
out to the philanthropic event. The
flaw of students was less than organiz—
er’s expected, but remained constant
throughout the evening.

f :Thc purpose of the evening was to

Rock the Foundation were free, but

vendors agreed to give I; percent of

sales to llabitat.

philanthropy," saidjosh Knipp, presi-

will be a great way for UK's Greeks to

The event was sponsored by the
Inter-Greek Programming Assembly.
the Student Government Association
and the international Student (Zouncil,
but the festival represented many more
campus organizations and provided
entertainment for everyone.

Booths representing various student
groups were set up along the outskirts
of the festival. Amon them were UK's

Area vendors, including restaurants

they did business.

“I think that S(i.\ and l(il’.~\ should
try to get this to be an annual event."
said Amin Akhlaghi, a biology and art
history junior. “it‘s a non-alcoholic

You thought the L'K Student (iovetiitiient
Association had problenis_

\mid the frustration and tonfusion of the set ,
ond S( i \ election. iicgatixc sentiments about SUA
pale in comparison to the way otlicr st liools treat
their student governments.

Student backlash against student government
representatn es is .i nationwide trcnd.

At the Liniversity of \labama and l lorida Inter-
national l iiiversity. student governments grew so
unpopular they were disbanded.

The student government at Alabama fell after
one ofits presidential elections was ruled invalid.
In lieu of holding a second election. the student
government was disbanded by the university and
put on a three—year suspension. Student govern~
tiieiit is in its first year back on the ’l'uscaloosa.
Ala., campus.

But at l'ilL'. the student gmernment was shut
down in the early 1090s and has not made its way
back to campus.

\Vhile some schools are following the trend of

shutting their student governments down or over—
turning election results. a few hate sur\ived the
fray.

The Ohio L'niversity Student Association
(( )L'SA) was viciously attacked on the tiierit of its
last election. bill it survived.

Fifteen graduate students were refused the right
to vote because of uninformed poll workers. Many
students chose not to vote because they had to put
their tiaiiies .itid identification numbers on the bal—
lots.

Although a number of cited violations by candi-
dates and election officials. the ()L‘ Student Asso-
ciation SuperiorCourt declared the election valid.

The decisioti came as a sigh ofsignificant relief.
()L‘SA Superior (Iout't .lIISIIeL' (Jody 'liowns told
The Daily. ()L“s student newspaper, he was glad
the election was over because he wants to stop

that iii terms of profit. squashed its competition
last summer.

Lip until a few days ago, 'l'uesday night's show
almost didn‘t reach sclleut status. The Student
Activities Board reported that about 1.400 tickets
were still left for the concert, which joins Prince
and Aerosniith as one oftlie bigger acts to hit Lev—
itigtoii during the school year.

All told. the board spent about $7.000 on proniw

Despite the number of tickets still available,
Stephens said he was pleased at the number of stu»
dents who are going.

“The majority of tickets have been bought by
students, which is great." Stephens said. “lfthis is
what we sell, this is what we sell."

Between HI and 40 volunteers. half of them
from the board‘s concert committee, will do tiiost
of the pro—show preparation. most of which will
take place early 'l‘uesday morning, Stephens said.
The volunteers start at ': ‘0 arm, and are in
charge of buying the ct lit-dozen towels, cokes
and coolers for the bandz. as well as hanging the
backdro curtain, courtesy of University Sound

afternoon for soundcheck.

posed a challenge for people
dressed in oversized Velcro suits
as they climbed to the end.

For many, though, the most
amusing trip was on the Bungee
Fun Run. There, two people
attached at their waist by
bungee cords raced each other
from the starting wall to the fin-
ish line.

The winner was determined
by the person who ran their
baton the longest distance. Crys—
tal Brooks, a social work senior
called it “the workout of the
'ear.“

Of all the events, the staged
entertainment was largely the
greatest attraction. The stage
opened at 5 p.m. with Ilagerman
Court, followed by a Turkish solo
guitarist, a traditional Indian
dance and then a Merengue per—
formance.

Barefoot Charlies took the
stage soon after with an Indone-

Schuers then played just after
8 p.m. (Iatawampus Universe
brought the night’s entertain-
ment to a close starting at
i): it) p.m.

Organizers and participants of
Rock the Foundation s )oke highly
of their expectations oil the event’s
future.

“I think it's going to great next
year. \Ve will be able to make
improvements from our experi-
ence," said Stephanie (Iourtright,
a health services management
sophomore and member of UK
I’anhellenic.

The main hurdle sponsors
hoped to clear was low atten-
dance. Several hundred students

attended, but in a slow, steady
flow.

“I think that attaching the term
‘service project' to the event may
have scared some away,“ said
Cheryl Pfennig, a marketing
sophomore.

“That will change once peo-
ple realize all that they are help-
ing."

election and start looking to the
future.

“If this election has been
nothing else, it has been an
example of what [USA presi—
dential elections should not be."
Towns said.

But Brad

McMuIIan, the

L’OSA president—elect said he was
happy with the outcome.

“I'm just happy to represent the
students,” McMullan said.

UOSA Superior (Lourt Justice
Brant Elmore was still furious

with the way the election was
handled. The lone dissenting
vote in the vote to validate the
election, Elmore remains an
active voice in expressing his dis-
gust with the state ofthe student
government.

“We (the Superior Court)
have met five times," Elmore
told the Dail i. “Mr. McMullan
has been in firont of us four of
those five times."

Here in Lexington, word of
student government collapses are
receiving a mixed reception.

Several L'K students say the
Alabama and I’IL' rulings have a
point.

(Iivil engineering junior Alex
Nolan said L'K is in dire need of
government reform.

“All these schools are dis-
banding their student govern—
ments, and we should too,"

Nolan said. “\Vhen something
doesn’t work, and it proves over
and over again that it does so lit—
tle for students, the situation is
beyond improvement.

“\Ve need to find other
means of improving things on
campus. SGA just isn't cutting
it."

But communications sopho-
more Katie Schultz said disband—
ing SGA would be counterpro»
ductive.

“The fact that other schools are
doing it is not grounds to get rid
ot‘otir own student government."
Schultz said.

Schultz said S(i.-\ plays an
integral role in representing stu-
dents when dealing with admin—
istration.

By disbanding SGA, students
would lose their only voice to the
administration, she said.

don‘t compensate for the misused iokes or

Every once in while the theater
arts department has to remind
itselfthat it is, first and foremost,
an educational environment.
These reminders usually manifest
themselves in bizarre five—minute,
student-prtiduced plays.

Not this year. This year it‘s
(Ihekhov.

:\nton (Ihekhov‘s The Three
Sisters opened last Thursday night
to a small btit appreciative audi-
ence. The production is strong.
remarkably so. There are several
impressive performances and
some intriguing technical choices.

It's a good thing, too. Like I

i said, it‘s (Zhekhov.

The story is one of youthful
idealism fading into adult disillu—
sionment. It is not a happy tale,
and the ending is positively grim.

I That‘s Chekhov for you.

Notice:
The 13lst Annual
Commencement

Director Russell llenderson
takes a straightforward approach.
This production does not make
use of ect enti'it effects or unusual
ly sty li/ed elements of production.
The focus is on the acting. and
this is where it must be.
(ilit'lili(|\.s work is not about the
events and locales. but rather how
these forces impact the characters.
lf the drama is lacking. it‘s going
to be a long three hours,

l'ortunately. the drama is' there.

‘\lily l‘ l)iidgeon plays lrina.
the youngest of the sisters. ller
perforiiiaiitc alone is worth the
price of admission. l)udgcon's
lrina as flighty. distracted and
ii.|i\t.' at the outset; a young
woman eager to embrace life's
woiitlt is. liy the play"s end she has
grown up. facing the unkind realr
ties of .m unfair world.

l)udgcon‘s finest work is seen
in harm's emotional outburst in
:\ct Two. It is here that (.hekhov ‘s
mettle is tested, and l)udgeon
rises to the occasion. lrina's frus--
tration touches a chord in all of us;
we .see our ow n dreams
washed away in liL'i' plaintive tears.

This is the drama.

This is what we came to see.

.\lso noteworthy is .\Iathaniel
()rr as .\ndrey, the sisters' only
male sibling (lhekhov's .\ndrey is
a morose. unsettled man whose
dreams of happiness are snuffed
otit by the second scene of Act

lost

()ne. ()rr has a rare talent. one
that few actors ever master. He
can act in silence. speaking vol«
times with a patient look or a sour
expression.

.\ndrey is the source ofinueh of

the sisters' collective anguish. llc
gambles away fortunes and mortr
gages their house to pay his. debts.
It is a tribute to ()ri"s subtle char-
acteri/ations that we find ourselves
caring for this man to the end.

James \V. Rodgers. a litiigrliiiit'
professor in the theater depart—
ment. takes the stage as the grand-
fatherly l)r. (Iliebutykin.

Rodgers was nearly flawless.
\Vith just a touch of an accent, his

humorous without being foppish.
lake ()rr, Rodgers demonstrates a
keen stage presence. \Vhether he
is the focus of the action or sttp~
porting the focus on someone
else. Rodgers remains deeply in
character.

Nelson l‘ileltls' costume design
is outstanding. one of the most
consistent I have seen. From the
knee—high boots of the brigade
soldiers to the high—collared
dresses of the sisters, l‘ields'
designs bring the period sharply
into foctis.

It is true that (Ihekhov's talky
style of realism is hard-pressed to
charm the average L‘K student.
myself included. The T/Jrec .S'Ii‘ren,
however, is arguably (Lhekhov's
best work. .iiid this is as well as
