DUANE BONll-‘ER Associate Editor A resolution calling for the distri- bution of condoms in the basement of six UK dormitories passed through an SGA committee last night and is now cleared for a vote on the senate floor. The Student Government Associa- tion‘s campus relations committee favorably passed the resolution and will now be voted on by the senate floor at its Oct. 7 meeting. Although the resolution was passed by a 5-1 margin with one sen- ator abstaining. it was hotly debated for more than 1': hours by commit- tee members. SGA senators and stu- dents. Most who opposed the resolution doubted whether a majority of the student body was behind the pr0p0~ sal. Several committee members said they thought a poll was needed to prove that students did indeed support the resolution. “Personally, I don‘t think it has a prayer on the senate floor without student polling.“ committee mem- ber and Senator at Large Ken Payne said. But President Cyndi Weaver told the committee that polling the stu- dents would cost too much. take too long and make more of a “media issue“ out of it. Senator at Large David Botkins. a member of the committee and chair- man of the Sexual Safety and Awareness Task Force that made the proposal, said an informal sur- vey he had conducted “among his consituents" indicated that students were in favor of the resolution. “If I didn‘t think there were enough students who felt strongly about this I would have backed off it a long time ago," he said. One individual Botkins pointed to was Haggin Hall Director David Powers. “He feels that the time has come for this to be done." Botkins said. “When a hall director comes out and says something on the record . . . to me that‘s an indication of how peo- ple feel." But one member said student sup- port shouldn‘t be the basis for the SGA's decision. Sean Lohman of the Freshman Representative Council told the committee that SGA should not be worried about what its constituents think. but what is in the best interest of the students' health. “If this thing can save just one person's life from AIDS (acquired immune defienciency syndrome). then this is worth it," he said. Committee member Rosanne Pal- ermo, a senator from the college of dentistry, said by passing the resolu- tion does not “force anyone to do anything.“ “We’re offering the use of these machines, we‘re not forcing anyone to do anything." she said. Senator at Large David Moore told the committee he was opposed to the resolution because it makes it takes away the responsibility from having sex. “If they're not responsible enough to go to the store. then they‘re not going to be responsible about sex.“ he said. Weaver responded to Moore by saying “we can say what (studentst ought to do. but it doesn‘t work that way." Moore also questioned how the UK administration stands on the issue. Weaver said she has spoken with several administrators and although some of them have “mixed feelings“ about the issue, none of them had rejected the idea. In fact, Weaver said “someone high" in the administration told her that SGA should quit talking about the issue and “just do it." Weaver did not name the administrator. Democrats deny hiring a private investigator Associated Press FRANKFORT —— The chairman of the state Democratic Party says he has no idea who hired a private de- tective to investigate the back- ground of the son of John Harper, the Republican candidate for gover- nor. Danny Briscoe says what he does know is that neither the party nor its candidate for governor.
