UK awaits
computer
virus attack

Staff, wire reports

Computer experts at UK and
across the nation are holding their
breaths in anticipation of tomor-
row’s expected triggering of an ex-
tremely destructive computer virus.

Miles Howe. manager of the mi-
cro-instructional lab at UK's
McVey Hall, said the computing
center has had about 500 requests
for anti-viral software.

“Hopefully, if people have used
the software properly, there
shouldn't be any problems.” Howe
said. But until then, officials won't
know how many computer owners
have not protected their machines.

At least 30 computer owners at
UK have found the virus in IBM-
compatible machines.

Companies, government agencies
and schools nationwide are taking
precautions. but experts said yester-
day that not every computer can be
examined in time, and the invader
will do some damage.

“We can’t go out and inspect eve-
ry PC on every desk,” said Andy
Myers, a spokesman for American
Telephone & Telegraph Co., which
has a quarter of a million personal
computers.

The phone company said it dis-
covered a few infected PCs after
distributing special software to em-
ployees that can detect and destroy
the virus.

The virus has been found sitting
dormant inside IBM-type personal
computers awaiting the PC's inter-
nal clock to reach March 6, the
birthday of the Italian Renaissance
artist for which the virus is named.
Once the PC is turned on, the virus
can destroy programs and data on
the computer‘s hard disk.

Vimses can enter a PC through
software contained on a diskette or
transmitted to the computer over the
phone from a computer “bulletin
board” or other source.

Already, numerous companies,
schools and governments have re-
ported discovery of the virus on
some computers. Among them are
the state of Nevada. the US. Agri-
culture Department and the San
Jose (Calif.) Mercury News news-
paper.

Estimates of how many of the 50
million PCs in North America are

Easley, Oberst propose SGA fine-tuning

By DAVE LAVENDER
Staff Writer

Like the pit crew for a stock car
racing team, Student Government
Association presidential candidate
Dave Easley does not want to over-
haul the SGA's engine. but rather
he wants to fine-tune it and make it
run faster.

Formally announcing his candida-
cy yesterday at the Student Center.
Easley summed up his campaign in
front of a packed room: “We don't
want to re-invent the wheel. But
what we do want to do is keep the
wheel rolling, keep it rolling a little
faster, a little better than it is going
already.”

“We are pledging our support and
our commitment to this, and, by so

doing, we feel
we will give this
EASLEY campus what it

deserves and
what it needs leadership for the
students," he said.

With his vice—presidential run—
ning mate Jim Ed Oberst by his
side. Easley, a finance and account-
ing junior from Lexington, an-
nounced. not a radical new vision
for SGA, but rather a revamping of
the status quo.

Introduced by
former SGA
Senator Heather
Bullock as a can—
didate full of enthusiasm, Oberst
took the podium.

“With cooperating relationships,
mutual respect and an attitude to
serve the students, SGA is already
composed of people who care. It is
already in the right direction. We
would like to pick up that momen-
tum,” he said.

OBERST

Oberst, a biology senior from
Owensboro, Ky., introduced Easley
to the cr0wd as the “definition of
leadership.”

Easley defined their campaign
slogan and his reasons for seeking
the presidency.

“When I first decided to run for
this. I was speaking to someone
about it, and they said ‘why do you
want to get in all that mess?‘ “ Eas-
ley said. “That said something to
me right there. It basically said that
a lot of people don‘t completely un-
derstand SGA. That‘s not anything
that the current SGA has done or
not done, it just goes to show that
there is definite room for improve-
ment."

Senate calls for no mandatory health insurance

By JOE BRAUN
Assistant Editorial Editor

The Student Government Associ-
ation Senate passed by acclarnation
last night a bill combating a meas-
ure that would require mandatory
student health insurance for stu-
dents.

The bill, sponsored by Arts and
Sciences Senator Jay Ingle, urged

the Kentucky legislature to pass
House Bill 244, which calls for the
repeal of mandatory health insu-
rance for students.

SGA President Scott Crosbie,
along with the student body presi-
dents of Kentucky‘s other eight
state institutions. will travel to
Frankfort, Ky., tomorrow to lobby
against the bill on behalf of stu—
dents.

SGA has rented a bus that will
hold 49 UK students. He urged any
students interested in going to
Frankfon to contact the SGA office
today.

lngle said he wants “a lot of sup-
port (at tomorrow‘s rally), and I
wanted to have something in writ-
ing to take to Frankfon and give to
Sen. (Benny Ray) Bailey and the
other members of the committee

and show them our support."

The senate also approved elec—
tion rules for spring elections,
which will be held April I and 2.

SGA Elections Board Chairman
Jim Kruspe brought the rules and
poll information to the senate for
approval.

Few students vote
on referendum issue

By BRIAN BENNETT
Staff Writer

Though few took advantage, stu-
dents had their first chance yester-
day to vote on the Student Govem-
ment Association election reform
referendum.

The referendum, proposed by
SGA President Scott Crosbie, al—
lowed students to vote on six bills,
which were assembled as a bloc and
could not be voted on separately.
The bills included the elimination of
campaign-spending caps and restric-
tions on the amount and placement
of campaign materials.

SGA Clerk Stephen Keller said
the low turnout was not a surprise
because “by and large students do
not vote."

David Pace, an agricultural eco-
nomics senior, said he voted in fa-
vor of the proposals. He said the re-
strictions on campaign materials
would clean up campus. Eliminat-
ing spending caps, he said. would
help make elections more fair.

“There’s no point in having it be-

cause some people know how to
cheat," he said. “It gives the dis-
honest an advantage over the hon-
est."

Business sophomore Karen
Goins also voted for the proposals,
favoring, in particular, campaign
literature restrictions.

“1 don't like those posters all
over the place and all over the
cars," she said. “It would make the
campus look better."

Goins said she wasn’t sure she
liked unlimited spending and would
have preferred to vote on each bill
separately.

Having to vote the bills as a bloc
caused Shawn Lowery to vote
against the proposal. Lowery, an
economics and political science
sophomore. said she agreed with
the limits on campaign materials
but disagreed with unlimited spend-
ing.

“It's a disadvantage to poorer
students and those who don’t want
to allocate all of their money to

Editor touts changes
occurring in Europe

By RICHARD MCCORMICK
Contributing Writer

The United States will recognize
Europe as a regional power with
less need for American help. if a
new treaty is ratified, a speaker told
the UK community yesterday at the
Student Center.

Axel Krause, corporate editor for
the lntemational Herald-Tribune in
Paris, France. spoke about the new
Europe.

Also the author of the critically
acclaimed Inside the New Europe.
Krause spoke about how the chang-
es will affect Europe, the United
States and the rest of the world.

First, Europe will be more uni—
fied economically, he said. If the
new treaty is ratified. a common
currency and a European Bank wtll
come into existence.

Krause mentioned five areas
where the US. presence will be less
imponant:

Aerospace. agriculture. industrial
policy, and the environment are
four. The other is the potential mar-

ket in the former USSR. He pre-
dicts that the European community.
along with Japan, will capitalize on
this opportunity before the United
States can.

He said America should encour-
age change and a level playing field
in order to stay competitive.

The changes have affected Euro-
peans differently.

People who are affected the most.
like the businessmen, farmers and
students, are well aware of what's
going on, Krause said.

On the other hand. he used as an
example, a cab driver who thought
that the Economic ‘92 plan was
only for the experts.

These changes are not jUSl eco-
nomical, he said. Many symbols of
the new Europe also have changed.

All members of the European
community now have a singular
maroon passport. The only differ-
cnce is the name of the country
printed on it.

A national anthem has been writ-

Section for handicapped seating
new permanent fixture at Shively %

By TIM WIESENHAHN
Sports Editor

On opening day, permanence in
change came to Shively Field.

In 1990. the Bat Cats' field was
renovated without provisions for
handicapped seating, but a penna-
nent handicapped seating section
opened yesterday.

“The sidewalk is in, the entrance
is all fixed up —- we're in busi-
ness," said Bill Collins, an employ—
ee of UK’s Physical Plant Division.
“It looks nice. We're quite
pleased."

UK baseball coach Keith Madi-
son said he is relieved and excited
that the facility is finished.

“I’ve been in dozens and dozens
of major college baseball parks and
I’ve never seen a handicapped seat-
ing area this nice," Madison said.
“It was long overdue. I am glad we
finally have a great place for handi-

The motion. a concrete slab front-
ed by a red-brick wall matching the
stadium's decor. accommodates
about 14 wheelchairs and some
guests. It sits behind the first base-
line past the Bat Cats' dugout and is
hemmed in by a screen to protect
spectators.

No handicapped students or fans
attended UK’s game yesterday.

Last March, several handicapped
UK students complained that the
2.500~seat park lacked handicapped
seating. At the request of the stu-
dents, Jake Karrres, director of
Handicapped Student Services. met
with Madison. Two days before the
Bat Cats’ home opener last season.
Karnes and Madison were able to
agree on the installation of a tempo-
rary section. A permanent section
would be complete in the fall of
1991.

UK unintentionally left out sec-
tions for handicapped seating, said
UK Associate Athletics Director
Larry Ivy. And although two sec-
tions for handicapped seating were
incltrded in Shively’s original reno-
vation plans, the state gave final ap-
proval to renovations. Their ab-
sence upon completion apparently
was an “oversight," said Judith
Walden, general counsel with the
Kentucky Division of Building

Codes enforcement.

Janet Gold. with the Department
of Vocational Rehabilitation Servic-

es in Lexington, said Shively Field
may have been in violation of sec-
tion 504 of the Federal Relubilita-
tion Act, which says no qualified
handicapped person. shall on the
basis of handicap. be excluded from
participating. be denied the benefits
of. or otherwise be subjected to dis-
crimination under any program or
activity that receives or benefits
from federal assistance.

lvy said in September that the
Athletics Department gave PPD au-
thorization to begin construction
May 14. He said the addition of the
handicapped would cost between
$50,000 and $60.(X)0.

Kames said he hasn’t seen the
completed section but hopes stu-
dents will make use of it.

“I’m delighted that the facility
was completed," he said.

A second handicapped section
will be constructed behind the third
base line past the visitors’ dugout.

Collins said although the Bat
Cats’ schedule will hamper con-
struction, it should be finished by
the end of the season.

Shively’s renovation included
three luxury boxes and an improved
press box. The project, which cost
about $520,000, was paid for with
private donations, Ivy said.

The renovation is the largest sin-
gle project of the field since the
opening of the Shively Sports Com-
plex in 1969. Past ren0vations to
Shively Field included the addition
of a grandstand behind home plate
and the installation of lights.

By HUNTER HAYES
Ans Editor

Garland Jeffreys has been called
many things throughout his ac-
claimed career, but the one thing he
does not want to be called is “Buck-
wheat.”

Jeffreys‘ newest album. Don't
Call Me Buckwheat. his first for
RCA records, deals with the impor-
tant issues of our time — most nota-
bly racism —— as have his previous
releases.

The title refers to an incident
when Jeffreys attended a New York
Mets game five years ago. Three
men started yelling at the singer,
“Hey, Buckwheat! Get the fuck out
of here!”

Jeffreys has been familiar with ra-
cism since childhood. His ethnic an-
cesuy is a mixture of black, white
and Puerto Rican. The Catholic
Church he attended was predomi-
nantly Irish and Italian.

Jeffreys was rejected by his peers
for being too light-skinned or too
dark-skinned depending on which
group was shunning him at the time.
At times Jeffreys would pass him-
self off as Spanish to attend parties
his black friends could not attend,
and he addresses this in “Spanish
Blood,” one of the 13 songs on his
new release.

Race relations is an important is-
sue that still needs to be addressed,
he said.

“The issues of race and difference
have been unresolved," Jeffreys
said. “And often in difficult eco-
nomic times this racism becomes a
scapegoat for other things. But of-
ten what happens is the scars are
opened; the wounds start to fester
and you see things that always have
been there.

“Race has never been resolved,
obviously. So when we say it’s re-
turned, in a way it’s always been
there. When you look at it in the
present time it’s accompanied with
Such violence; it’s accompanied
with such hate."

f Don't Call Me Buckwheat, set to
be released this month, is Jeffreys’
iflrst album since 1983's Guts For
Love. He started writing songs for it
shortly after Guts For Love was re-

"Almendros
dies at 61

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Cinematogra-
pher Nestor Almendros, who
helped change the look of Holly-
wood films with his concept of nat-
ural light and filmed such movies m
“Sophie’s Choice" and ”Kramer vs.
Kramer," died yesterday.

He was 61.

- The Spanish-bom filmmaker died
at his Manhattan residence, said di-
rector-producer Jorge Ulla, co-
director with him on the documen-
tary “Nobody Listened." Almen-
dros had been suffering from lym-
phoma. Ulla said.

Almendros won an Academy

Award for cinematography in 1979
for “Days of Heaven," directed by
Terrence Malick and starring Rich-
ard Gere and Brooke Adams.
. In it, Almendros perfected his
technique of relying on available
light — what he called “natural
light" — unencumbered by the
ubiquitous flood lights of most Hol—
lywood films.

He also was nominated for Os-
cars for other Hollywood films in
subsequent years, and won a Cesar
award —- the French equivalent of
the Oscar — for his cinematogra-
phy of “The Last Metro" in 1981.

After winning the Oscar, Almen-

dros filmed "Kramer vs. Kramer" in
New York, with Dustin Hoffman
and Meryl Streep.
7 His other movies include “Places
in the Heart" with Sally Field, di-
rected by Robert Benton; “Sophie’s
Choice" with Su'eep and Kevin
Kline, Almendros' favorite; “Still
of the Night,” also with Streep; and
his last movie, “Billy Bathgate."
which opened late last year.

Before settling down in the Unit-
ed States, Almendros had worked
for many years in France with such
first-rate directors as Eric Rohmer.
on “Claire‘s Knee" and “Pauline at
the Beach." and Francois Truffaut,
on “The Wild Child" and “The Man
who Loved Women."

Almendros is survived by his
mother. Maria; a brother and a sis-
ter.

leased. One of the reasons for the
delay between albums. in addition
to switching labels, was the pre-
production work in preparing the
album for release and getting his
message across.

“I think that like never before
there’s a lot of preparation in get-
ting this album out," Jeffreys said.
“In other words, there’s a lot of set-
up time so that the record gets out
and gets heard for what the album
is about since it‘s so concentrated
and so specific.

“In the past, however, when
records came out I would always
get letters from people about
what's really in the record. So I’m
sure that people know what I'm
saying. I’ve made records that are
less serious and people much
more take it on face value and
don’t pursue it any deeper.

“But I guess, in general, my kind
of songwriting has always been
about something - something sub-
stantial. whether it be love, whether
it be child abuse. whether it be
race. which is certainly one of my
major themes.”

Although the album is centered
around themes of racism, it is the
product of all Jeffreys’ experiences
and influences. The songs on the al.
bum range from the gospel soul of
“Moonshine in the Cornfield,” to
rhythm and blues, reggae and rock
strains, which permeate the album.
The release concludes with a cover
of “I’m Not A Know It All," which
originally was recorded by Frankie
Lymon and the Teenagers.

And though Jeffreys would like
the album be commercially suc-
cessful —- which, at least in Germa-
ny, it is. Last week, it jumped more
than 30 spaces on the album charts
— that is not the reason he contin-
ues recording.

“I make a record because I feel
that this is what it should be, for
me." Jeffreys said. “This is a record
that spans a 40-year period lyrically
and what happened and my experi-
ence. And it also spans that period
of music for me — my tastes, my
interests, my influences. You
know, the music that I think is best
to support a message. a story-like
base."

And who are some of Jeffreys'
tastes and influences in music?

“My biggest influence as a child
and perhaps my strongest influence
was Frankie Lymon. All those
kinds of groups that were recording
back then: Frankie Lymon, The
Harptones. the Drifters, the Clef-
tones. All that kind of singing,
that kind of stuff with the vibrato in
the voice. Rhythm and Blues —
Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke.

“This is the music that affected
me from the beginning. But I’m a
music fan and I like music, and I
like reggae. If music comes along
and it's appealing to me, then I’m
for it."

Jeffreys is aware of the power of
music and said he would like to see
other anists coming out with a more
positive message rather than ones of
hate that can be found in many cur-
rent releases.

“It‘s obvious that’s not my bag,"
Jeffreys said of the negative mes-
sages. “I’m interested in the point of
view, however, that they have a tre-
mendous audience and that they in-
fluence their audience. And I would
like to see them putting out a differ-
ent message. Whether it be Guns
N‘ Roses, whether it be NWA, I
think this kind of crap is literally
that."

Artists as diverse as British gui-
tarist Chris Spedding and Los An—
geles punk rockers the Circle Jerks
(both of whom recorded Jeffreys’

“Wild In The Streets" from his al-
bum Ghostwrt'ter), and the Black
Sorrows have recorded versions of
Jeffreys’ songs (the Black Sorrows
covered “El Salvador" from Guts
For Love).

Jeffreys embraces the fact that
other artists appreciate his work
enough to incorporate it into their
own.

“As a songwriter, the dream is
that other people will record your
songs,” he said. “And record them
from a discovery point of view.
That‘s a nice feeling."

Does Jeffreys have any goals to
have the songs from Don't Call Me
Buckwheat recorded by other an-
ists?

“I want everybody to go out and
buy it That’s my first goal. Very
simple: I would like it to be a suc-
cess; I would like people to hear it.
I would like the people to take it in
and see it as a special record. And
ultimately (see) if it can have some
effect on people, because this al-
bum for me is about reconciliation.

.. It’s an album of hope, because
that's what I have. It’s not a record
about hate.

“I‘m just very proud of this
record, and it means so much to me
because it‘s an expression of my
own reconcrliation, my own differ-
ent parts — being black, being part
white, part Puerto Rican. And I feel
that if I can do it. then we can do
it."

Ninth-inning rally gives Cats
5-4 win over Lincoln Memorial

By JEFF DRUMOND
Senior Staff Writer

For UK coach Keith Madison.
yesterday's 1992 home opener
brought the gamut of emotions.

Anticipation. excitement, disap-
poinunent, anger and relief. You
name it, Madison felt his fair share
of each.

Playing their first game at Shively
Field after eight~straight on the
road, Madison and the Bat Cats
wanted dearly to come away with a
victory against Division 11 Lincoln
Memorial. It took all nine innings
and UK's last at-bat. but the Cats fi-
nally did pull away from the Rail-
splitters, winning 5-4.

The win upped UK’s record to 7-
2 on the season, but the Cats' play
against the 4-6 Railsplitters nearly
drove Madison over the edge in the
process.

“Lincoln Memorial is outstanding
for a Division 11 team," Madison
said. “But we were still disappoint-
ed to be trailing late in the ball-
game.

“What this team didn’t realize,
and I take the blame for it. is we

didn't get ready to play like we
should have. When we face a team
like this, we're going to face their
No. 1 pitcher. You‘ve got to be pre-
pared for a tough gune."

UK didn't look prepared for Lin-
coln Memorial’s Miles Toumigny.
who entered the game with a 2-0
record. With the exception of a Jeff
Abbott home run on Tourigny’s
second pitch of the game, the Rail-
splitters' left-hander kept the Cats
tied up at the plate.

Tournigny pitched five innings of
two-nin, six-hit baseball and struck
out six UK batters before giving
way to reliever Charlie Hutchinson
in the sixth. From there. Hutchin-
son pitched well and held the Rail-
splitters' 4-3 lead until the ninth in-
ning.

As expected, UK refused to go
down without a fight in their final
at-bat.

Second baseman Max Reitz. who
homered in the seventh inning to
pull UK within one, walked to lead
off the ninth. Catcher Billy 'lhomp-
son was hit by Hutchinson’s next
pitch to put runners at first and sec-
ond.

That set the stage for the Cats'
Brad Hindersman and Tom Thae-
men.

After falling behind 0-2 to Hutch-
inson, Hindersman lined a fastball
down the third base line for double
to score Reitz. UK third base coach
John Butler held Thompson at third,
setting Thaemert up for the hero’s
role.

Thaemert, a junior right fielder,
responded with a single past Lin-
coln Memorial’s drawn-in infield to
score Thompson and send the Cats
to a come-from-behind victory.

UK sophomore right-hander
Brian Reed pitched the final three
innings to pick up his first win of
1992. He allowed no runs and just
three hits in shutting down the Rail-
splitters. Hutchinson, who pitched
the final four innings. took the loss
for Lincoln Memorial.

Railsplitter coach Ed Thayer said
his team was going to the wire with
Hutchinson, its top reliever.

“I really never thought about tak-
ing (Hutchinson) out," Thayer said.
“He's our best reliever and we were
going to win it or lose it with our
best."

Madison was pleased to see the
Cats rebound from their slow start
in front of the home crowd. The
helter-skelter manner in which UK
came back was in line with the
team's new philosophy.

“That‘s how we have to play this

year," said Madison. who lost most
of his offensive punch from last
year’s team. “We have to fight and
scratch every game.”

After watching Thompson take a
fastball in the shoulder to reach
base in the ninth inning, Madison’s
mid-game disappointment turned to
satisfaction.

“Billy's that kind of player," the
UK coach said. “He’s hard-nosed
and will do anything to help the

team win. Every coach would like
to have someone like that.”

Even in defeat, Thayer was excit-
ed about the Railsplitters’ perfor-
mance.

“Certainly, I was pleased,” he
said. “We came up here and played
well against a top-notch opponent.
You can’t ask any more than that."

Madison pointed to the attitude
of the Tennessee Division 11 squad
as a danger the Cats should watch

for In the future.

“They (Lincoln Memorial) are a
good team and they play a great
schedule,” Madison said. “They
want to play teams like Tennessee
and Kentucky.

“I've got to make them under-
stand you have to play just as hard
apinst Division 11 teams as you do
against teams in the SEC. You
can’t come out lackadaisical
against anybody.”

“That’s our goal," Simpson said
