Alum gift to fund
student scholarships
and building project
By DARRELL CLEM
Senior Staff Writer
The University has received a gift
of more than $600,000 for student
scholarship funds and to build a
“permanent structure” on campus.
The money comes from a trust es-
tablished by Marion Thomas
Brooks, who in 1922 graduated from
UK with a bachelor’s degree in agri-
culture. said Terry Mobley, UK‘s di-
rector of development. Brooks died
in 1977.
The inst, which has been “passed
on to us," Mobley said, was estab-
lished for Brooks‘ wife, Elinor, who
died in 193. “The estate is just
being settled," he said.
Nenty percent of the funds will
be used in setting up an endowment
to be med for scholarships, while
the remitting 80 percent will be
“med for some structure that does
hear his (Brooks') name," Mobley
said.
“The University administration
will decide where the needs are," he
said. No decisions have been made
as to whether a new building will be
constructed or if some existing
structure will be expanded. “No de
cision has been made as to how (the
money) is going to be used."
At the request of Brooks, the
scholarship money will go to Univer-
sity students from Northern Ken-
tucky, Mobley said. “There is noth-
ing in our recor$ indicating his
hometown, but we are assuming
that he was from Northern Ken-
tucky.“
In 1967, Brooks was “one of the
first individuals to become a UK
Fellow,“ he said. “It‘s gratifying to
see someone have such a feeling of
loyalty that they want to do some-
thing of this nature for the Universi-
ty."
Mobley said such gifts to the Uni-
versity are becoming more common
because “the average age of our
alumni is getting older. We are see-
ing more of these gifts."
According to background informa-
tion released by President Otis A.
Singletary‘s office, Brooks was a
"successful landscape architect" in
Birmingham. Ala.. where he and his
wife lived. Mobley said that Brooks
was “basically self-employed."
New animal-care center
to centralize research
By TIM JOHNSON
Staff Writer
To “have a much more efficient
and cost-cutting administration,"
plans for building a centralized ani-
mal-care research center are under
way, according to Wimberly
Royster, vice chancellor for re-
search.
The center, which will house most
of the animals used by UK research-
ers, will be built adjoining the dental
wing of the UK Medical Center and
theCancer Center.
Currently, five small-animal hous-
ing centers are used by campus re-
searchers. Kastle Hall, Morgan Bi-
ological Science Building,
Agricultural Animal Sciences De-
partment, Tobacco and Health Re-
search Institute, and the Wenner
Gren Research Lab all have small
mammals for “teaching purposes,“
according to Royster.
“Most of these centers will move
their animals to the centralized
one," he said. “A few of them, like
the Tobacco and Health and the
Morgan lab will keep a few small
mice for classroom .
Royster cited federal animal wel-
fare policies on animals kept for re-
search, and possible accreditation
from the American Association for
Accreditation for Laboratory Ani-
mal Care, as reasom for building
the center. “In order to receive
grants, there is a federal policy that
says you have to be accredited. With
this centralized center, we should
become accredited," be said.
Royster said the funds to build the
center, about $2.2 million, have been
approved by the Council on Higher
Education and will be allocated by
President Otis A. Singletary because
“he recognizes the importance of it
(the center)."
Boyster said the operation of the
center will be funded by a daily fee

center, we should
become accredited. ’
Wimberl y Royster,
vice chancellor
—
that covers the cost of animal feed
and caretakers‘ salaries. The fee
will be charged to the person or
group who owns the animal.
Royster did not know the exact
completion date of the center, but he
said construction should start by the
middle of next year.
“The center will give us a fairly
large complex of facilities which
will provide the correct environment
for the animals," he said. “The air
must circulate let right, the floors
and walls must be made of a certain
material which is both durable and
washable. and the security must be
tight.
“Animals need the proper environ-
ment in order to not introduce extra-
neous factors in conducting the re—
search."
Ward Crow, chairman of the Uni-
versity Animal Care Committee,
agrees there is “a very intense
need" for the center. “Besides need-
ing the facility, we are committed to
the Federal Welfare Act on the care
and keeping of animals. This is a
giant step toward that commit-
ment.“
Wesley Birge, director of the grad-
uate center for toxicology, ties the
financial aspect and the commit-
ment together. “The center will be
the most economical way to meet
federal regulations for the care and
housing of the animals while con-
tributing to the development of UK
as an important research institu-
tion."

UK to offer broadcast newswriting class
By JOHN JURY
Staff Writer
Editor's note: This is the last of a
three-part series on the UK telecom-
munications department,
For those who wish to pursue a
broadcast journalism major at UK.
a program to suit their needs is
under construction.
As soon as the fall of 1985. the UK
School of Journalism will begin of-
fering a broadcast newswriting
course, according to Edmund Lam-
beth, director of the school.
“We are pleased that the Universi-
ty has authorized a new position
within the School of Journalism for
a broadcasting journalism faculty
position," he said. “We expect to fill
it with a distinguished broadcasting
correspondent who is nationally rec-
ognized for his distinction. "
No formal announcement of the
appointment will be made until the
University administration has se-
lected the new faculty member.
“Despite the fact that we don‘t
have any broadcast news courses at
the present time a number of
our students have been able to de-
velop good sound news judgement
and writing skills," Lambeth said.
”We hope to be able to supply to
the news media a small number of
very highly qualified young journal-
ists who can compete successfully in
the electronic news market."
He said that Thomas R. Donohue,
chairman of the telecommunications
department, has “gracefully recog-
nized" the need to have a broadcast
newswriting class and supports the
school's initiative in that area.
The director of the Universxty tele-
vision production center. Roger Ko-
once, also recognizes that need. “I
think we've got one thing going for
us here . . . a really good journalism
department,” he said.
Lambeth said he wants the journa»
lism school "to build cautiously and
with high quality“ in the broadcast
newswriting field ,
“What we need is two fulHime
faculty members who can teach
broadcast journalism." he said.
“Broadcast news 15 in the domain
of the School of Journalism.“ Lam-
beth said.
But, “we are not equipped as a
faculty to train large numbers of
students in the broadcasting market,
We want to have a small highqual-
ity program."
Lambeth said the general editorial
sequence within the school delivers
excellent journalistic background.
”We do have a first-class general
editorial sequence (and) an out-
standing faculty.
“The broadcast student at the Uni-
versity of Kentucky can get a supe-
rior education now, if he or she is
imaginative, determined and re
sourceful." Lambeth said. “What we
need are a few more courses, some
equipment and structured learning
opportunities to make the education
process smoother and more system-
atic."
He believes that the 180 to 190 stu~
dents majoring in the general edito—
rial sequence are receiving a qualitv

UK engineering chapter receives national award
By KAREN MILLER
Reporter
The UK chapter of the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers won
a 1983-84 national outstanding chap-
ter award, after competing against
130 other chemical engineering
chapters across the nation.
The honor was awarded by a na-
tional panel who selected the 10 best
chemical engineering chapters in
the nation, and was presented on
Nov. 26 at the annual meeting of the
group in San Francisco.
This was the first national award
in its history for the UK chapter,
which has about 150 members.
Student membership participation,
the quality and quantity of lecturers
brought in by the chapter, and stu-
dent presentation of research papers
were judged for the award, accord-
ing to Dibakar Bhattacharya, pro-
fessor of the Chemical Engineering
Department and chapter adviser.
"To receive the award, 11 of our
students went to San Francisco in
November — all the officers and
seven of our members," Bhattacha-
rya said.
Activities the chapter has done in-
clude a picnic with the University of
Louisville‘s department of engi-
neering; helping freshman, sopho-
more and junior students with any
problems, such as how to use com—
puters; sponsoring guest speakers;
holding a T-shirt design contest; and
participating in Engineering Week
held in February,
Motivation is an important part of
having a successful chapter, accord-
ing to Marc Althen, president of the
group.
"We try to tell people that it‘s
really important to be active and
join. We want them to commu-
nicate."hesaid.
Althen also said the national
award was very important to UK.
“It (the award) gives UK a good
name and shows that the University
is really doing something," Althen
said.
Lexington police program informs community of importance of seat belts and automobile safety
By SACHA DEVROOMEN
Senltl' Staff Writer
About 90 to 95 percent of the pop-
ulation is aware of the benefits of
wearing a seat belt, but most do not
wear their seat belts, according to
Mark Kessington of the Lexington
Police Department.
Kelsinger researched police re-
corfi when he started the seat-belt
program and found that “from 19m
to 1m there were 157 fatalities in
Fayette County, and not one (pas-
eeruer) was wearing a seat belt."
last October, the National High-
way Transportation Department
gave the police department a feder-
alpenttohelpfundefforts toteech
tin community about automobile oc-
ctqient protection and the benefits of
rain seat belts, Kessimer said.

0n the other hand, Koslrger said,
he does not think the percentage of
students who use seat belts is as
high. “Among the student popula-
tion, it may tend to be lower be-
cause students think they will live
forever. When you get older, you get
to be more conservative.“
About 18 percent of the people in
Fayette County wear seat belts,
Keesinger said, which is a high fig-
ure in comparison to many commu-
nitiesinthestate.
Last year, 50,000 people were
killed in automobile accidents, he
said, but if those killed had worn
their seat belts, 13,610 lives could
have been saved. Kessinger said
thatoneoftwoedultswillbeina

lifetimes.
“People are aware, but still con-
tinue not to buckle up." he said.
"They don't think it will apply to
them. If we lay the facts out, maybe
wewillgainsomcmege."
He said tine ways to encourage
seat belt tee is to climate the peo-
ple, to legislate a seat-belt law, or to
creetenmwlareetrelnts.
“We need to make people aware
of the benefits and let them make
their own choice," Kessinger said.
Many myths about wearing seat
belts need to be cleared up, he said.
Contrary to belief, so percent of all
wrecks occur within 25 miles from
home and at Speeds less than 40
miles per hour.
“People ought to be buckled up at
home more than on the highway.
The people paid for the seat belt,
they may as well use them," he
said.
Kessinger, who visited UK this
week to speak to the members of Air
Force ROTC, has spoken at many
schools and will “talk to anybody
that will listen to us to get our mes-
sage." He said small kirk can en-
courage perents to wear seat belts
and, if children grow up with seat
belts, they may develop conscien-
tious seat belt-wearing habits.
After the program‘s first anniver-
sery in October, Kessinger said the

To improve over last year. "we
are trying to start community help

A sound feast
Radio Cafe ’5 K iya Heartwood speaks out on politics, murder and music
By KAKIE URCH
Staff Writer
“Believe it or not. I learned to
play guitar in Girl Scouts," said
Kiya Heartwood, who has been
heard to hit many 3 Chuck Berry
riff while playing with her band,
RadioCafe.
The band will be performing at
Jefferson Davis Inn tonight and to-
morrow night with shows beginning
around 10 pm.
Heartwood, who began writing
songs at age 14, said the first music
she played was “folk - Peter, Paul
and Mary, Dan Fogelberg."
Heartwood and Radio Cafe are
now trying to do something that
many people in the music business
say can't be done: reach a broad au-
dience with message-music.
Heartwood has called the music
that Radio Cafe plays “dance music
with a heart." Heartwood writes “98
percent of the songs“ with guitarist
Dan Mackowski adding occasional
musical inspiration.
Her lyrics often touch on social is-
sues. Radio Cafe hopes to record
their song “The Well," written about
the murder of UK student Ling-jung
Chen this summer in the Chemistry-
Physics Building and the patricide
committed by Bill Farrah.
The band has already produced
one cassette, Gravity, released last
year, and available locally.
Heartwood played guitar earlier
this semester in the Free Speech
Area at an Amnesty International
rally in support of female “prisoners
of conscience. ’ '
Heartwood is also concerned about
the fact that there is nerve gas
stored at the Bluegrass Army Depot,
about 20 miles from Lexington
“Another thing ab0ut Dexington,"
she said, “is that the people who
don't have enough aren‘t living close
to the people who do have enough,
so it’s easy for some people to forget
that although there are people starv-
ing in Ethiopia, there are people
starving across town.
“It's easy to live on campus and
never see people who don't have
enough," she said.
Heartwood also spoke of frustra-
tion with people who too readily ac-
ceptlabels.
“I have friends who are hard—core
feminists, hard-core anti-nuke, hard—
core punks. People are extremely
attached to being labeled.
“People need to develop their indi-
viduality enough to be able to say
‘This is my name, and this is what I
believe.‘ The responsibility of living
in a democracy is to be responsible
for your own beliefs and actions."
Although she is deeply concerned
with social issues, Heartwood calls
music her obsession. Her musical in-
fluences include Bob Marley, Chuck
Buddy
Holly, The Beatles and Black Uhuru.

Heartwood said. “It‘s important to
be innovative with traditional
styles."

and social messages, Heartwood
said. “It's the same sort of thing.

for positive change, so it‘s really the
same. They stick to major issues
and don't get caught up in little

“They‘re basically pacifist. but
still not satisfied to let things fall on
their face ”
Heartwood works at Alfalfa‘s res-

That Hope brings tense sounds to Cafe LMNOP
By ELLEN BUSH
Reporter
That Hope defies classification,
except perhaps under the heading
“polyglot rock." Maybe “cyclotron
rock“ would be better, since fission
is an excellent metaphor for their
sound: they seem to be splitting the
music’s atoms and converting its en-
ergy into new forms. Just envision a
gang war between The Stranglers
and the “Larks' Tongues In Aspic"
King Crimson lineup, refereed by
Simon & Garfunkel, and you've got
an idea of That Hope‘s sound.
The Bloomington, Illinois band
comprises Dean Carlson and Skot
Wilson (vocals). Edwin Pierce (gui-
tar), Allan Anderson (bass) and
Scott Lucas (drums). Manager
Steve Rubin informs us that former
Diatribe members Carlson, Pierce,
and Lucas linked up with Wilson and
Anderson after the latter‘s Phoenix-
based band Curious Die broke up
Hope had been the name used by the
three Diatribe personnel when work-
ing on experimental projects. After
Curious Die‘s demise, TH‘s mania
for experimentation was evidenced
by the formation of another subsid-
iary called Big Hair, which pops into
existence anytime That Hope mem-
bers want to “go into the lab“ and
test ideas. Big Hair alone has pro-
duced two 60-minute tapes which
comprise material never performed
on stage. These have gotten very fa-
vorable reviews and some radio air-
play, That Hope itself is working on
a soon-to—be-released 12-inch 8?.
If you ask TH what their influ-
ences are. you‘d better get comfort-
able for about six hours. “We listen
to everything," Wilson and Carlson
proclaim in chorus. The two vocal-
ists have known each other since
childhood. and seem to have a sixth
sense about working together. Their
keen, careening vocals race neck
and neck, sharing the lead and com-
melodies and Anderson and Lucas‘
serpentine rhythm force.
Edwin Pierce will certainly catch
the ear of any guitar fan. some
think he's the bastard son of Robert

tarist Adrian Belew. his sound cov-
ers a surprising range of effects.

members many musical influences.
“Everyoncs trying to satisfy their
own artistic processes. and we each
come at it with a slightly different
pomt of view." He considers TH p0»
litical. but says they try to be subtle.
"()ur music concerns different kinds
of relationships and social atmo-
spheres. but we hide the fact there‘s
politics in the lyrics. The Clash and
Gang of Four got so heavily into
that rut they couldn't write anything
else.“
Rubin expects That Hope to be
touring coast to coast within a year.
but says. “Lexington's our favorite
town. really. We feel we have a lot
of friends here and we like to get
back here just to see people. We are
really looking forward to being in
Lexington again."

Santa Claus: Man or myth? And what about little Virginia?
Mr. Kringle does exist
and those who disagree
lack an imagination
Years ago. an 8-year-old girl
named Virginia O‘Hanley wrote a
special letter to the editor of the
New York Sun.
She asked a simple question:
“Please tell me the truth; is there a
Santa Claus'.’ "
The editor of the Sun. Frank P.
Church. had a simple answer: “Yes.
Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.“
Ever since then. newspaper edi-
tors have been honor—bound to
uphold the traditions and image of
Mr. Claus. lln fact, we are contrac-
tually-bound. In every editor‘s con-
tract. there‘s a Santa Claus clause. i
Church answered Virginia‘s ques~
tion with an eloquence that was al-
most poeticll prefer logic.
I realize. that there are people who
refute the existence of Santa. Every-
one has been or will be exposed to
these people at one point in their
lives. They corner us on the play-
ground, grinning evilly. They pass
along their message with a callers
and superior attitude.
“There‘s no such thing as Santa
Claus." they say with contempt for
the idea. the listener‘s naivete and
—— maybe, just maybe # them-
selves.
Most of them use a fairly convinc-
ing argument. too. They say that no
one‘s ever seen him. except in pic-
tures or inthemovies
Big deal. I‘ve never seen Presi~
dent Reagan except in pictures or in
the movies, and I have it on good
authority that he exists. The point is
that you can't deny the existence of
Santa by saying that he doesn‘t
make public appearances.
In other words. seeing may be be-
lieving. but not seeing isn‘t nec-
essarily not believing. Santa — like
so many of our best ideas — is a
matter of faith. And any good evan-
gelist will tell you faith cannot be
argued. Faith — and Santa Claus —
transcend rhetorical gymnastics
There are other non-believers who

deny Santa's existence because it's
not "practical.“ For some reason,
their minds cannot accept the image
of a generous man who has flying
reindeer and toy~making elves.
That‘s no reason to forsake Santa.
A lack of imagination is a personal
failing, and one shouldn't try to
make Santa take the blame for it by
denying him the right to exist.
It‘s malicious to do so because it
assumes that Santa Claus is too
good to be true. Their point is that
nobody in this lousy world would
ever do the things Santa does. Once
again. that‘s a personal failing. Peo-
ple refuse to imagine that anyone
could be that good. That's a com~
mentary on humanity, not Santa.
Let‘s sum up. In order to believe
in Santa, one must have faith. a
twinkle-in-the-eye imagination and a
hopeful attitude toward humanity.
That's the stuff we're supposed to
celebrate at this time of year.
Therefore. any celebrant who refut-
es Santa must be a hypocrite.
Happy Kringle.

Santa is good fun,
but he must never be

Let ‘s be logical about this.
All right, let's not. Suit yourself.
