Fine Arts gets a face lift at UK

By SUZANNE HORSLEY
Contributing Writer

Like most students and faculty
members. Richard Domek would
prefer to hear the sound of music
coming from UK‘s Fine Ans Build-
ing — not the racket of jackham-
mers breaking through rock.

But Domek, the College of Fine
Arts dean. said the construction —
which has been going on in the
building since November — is al-
most complete. He hopes the com-
motion and confusion that accompa-
nied it will be finished as well.

“There is some amount of incon-
venience,” Domek said. but “the re-
sult is going to be well wonh it."

Renovations were scheduled to be
completed Aug. 28, in time for the
fall semester. But unforeseen prob-
lems and delays prompted officials
to ask. and receive. a 40-day exten-
sion, Domek said.

Domek said that 80 to 85 percent
of the construction is complete.

The Fine Ans Building was as-

sessed as needing $5 million in ren-
ovations in fall 1989. prompting the
power tools, ladders and presence
of construction workers.

The project was allotted $2.3 mil-
lion in the University budget.

From that, the building now has
air conditioning and heating in most
of the classrooms and is totally
handicapped-accessible. It is newly
painted Also there is a new dance
floor, new ceiling tiles and lighting
and more smoke detectors.

In addition to the exterior im-
provements, an electrical service
was installed. which will eliminate
blown fuses.

The Theatre Department received
a new dust absorber and safety fea-
tures for the scene shop and an
emergency exit door were installed
in the costume shop.

Also, a computer infrastructure
was installed, which will be used
later for video. audio. telephone and
computer networking.

“The biggest thing that we did get
that will impact the students is that

MOSCOW Boris Yeltsin
called yesterday for the ultimate de-
struction of nuclear arms and an end
to underground tests.

He also said the central Soviet
government and the republics
should jointly control the weapons.

“We are in favor of total elimina-
tion of nuclear weapons in Russia.”
Yeltsin said in an interview with
Cable News Network.

The Russian Federation president
reaffirmed his commitment to arms
control agreements and called for
more sweeping arms—reduction
talks.

“I think, personally, that it is not a
major victory when 50 percent of
nuclear weapons are ear-marked for
elimination in a situation when 5
percent is enough to destroy the
whole world," he said. He was al-

In an effort boost business and
ease the shortage of prime campus
parking. Hardee’s restaurant on Eu-
clid Avenue is giving ten UK stu-
dents a free parking space each
month.

Ten different names are drawn

Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev
and President George Bush.

Gorbachev has long called for the
ultimate elimination of nuclear arms
and has urged Bush. unsuccessfully,
to ban arms tests.

“It is necessary to stop under-
ground nuclear tests," said Yeltsin,
noting that such tests had been
banned at the Semipalatinsk range
in the steppe republic of Kazakh
start. to the south of Russia.

But. he said. the test range at No-
vaya Zemlya in northern Russian re-
mained open.

“This is a very sensitive envi-
ronmental area." he said. “If we
damage the environment, it will not
be restored in a thousand years. We
need to prevent further testing of nu-
clear weapons and we will call on
President Bush and all the other nu—
clear powers to stop the tests of nu-
clear weapons.”

As Soviet republics move toward
independence. some Western lead-

we got a dance floor,” said Geral-
dine Maschio. department chairper-
son. “lt's just safer. We'll be able to
begin teaching more dance classes.
That's the thing that I'm most excit-
ed about”

Maschio. whose offices have
been moved twice, said the con-
struction — while necessary — also
is very trying. Theatre classes. for
example, were relocated in class-
rooms used primarily for wrestling.

“It’s been difficult," Maschio
said. “It will be well worth it. but
not having a classroom to teach in
makes it difficult. We have special
needs — it’s not just lectures."

Faculty members aren’t the only
ones confused

“It's a real inconvenience.” said
tuba performance major Chris Lan-
ham. “We're short on practice
room. We oould’ve had a new
building for the amount of this
thing.”

major, said. “They got the class-

the Soviet nuclear arsenal. Yeltsin _

offered assurances yesterday that
Russia was moving to secure them.

He said nuclear weapons are be-
ing moved from the Ukraine to his
republic and that Kazakstan is plan-
ning to do the same.

“We have set up a committee to
control nuclear weapons so that they
are not used either by hawks or it].
traright or ultraleft-wing forces or
terrorists because this is very dan-
gerous at the present time,” Yeltsin
said.

“Apart from the central govern-
ment. we want Russia to control nu-
clear weapons and to be responsible
for nuclear weapons on the territory
of Russia, and we want to be an—
swerable to the whole international
community so that we keep a finger
on the button as well,” he told CNN.

Yeltsin also told CNN that in light
of the Russian republic‘s size and
power — and its role in crushing

been done last semester."

He also said the acoustics are bad
in the practicing rooms and that he
could hear music from other rooms
and that it wasn't as bad two years
ago.

However. he said he believes that
the renovations were beneficial.

The new lockers and the ability to
keep materials in the building with-
out the threat of theft make it so.
“Psychologically it's a lot better
now," he said.

Kaye Hart. a music education ma-
jor, said he’ll enjoy the new addi-
tions to the building.

“I’m all for it. I know it'll incon-
venience us but it‘s worth it. It‘s
really about time that this one got
some attention."

School of Music secretary Robin
Rankin added: “We just work
around it.”

More than 100 construction work-
ers are on the project.

last month‘s coup — Russians
should hold key posts of prime min-
ister. defense minister, KGB chair-
man and interior minister.

In the interview, Yeltsin said that
Gorbachev had no choice but to go
along.

”Now this is his last chance.” he
said. “If he continues together with
the democratic movement and Rus-
sia and he recognizes the indepen-
dence of all the other republics. yes.
his political life will be extended.”
he said.

Yeltsin also said the KGB should
lose some of its authority. He told
CNN the telephones of millions of
Soviets were tapped. and called for
elimination of the KGB department
behind the bugging.

“For the past few days my tele-
phones have been working much

monthly tn a lottery to determine
who will fill the slots. said restau-

Clark and store owner Jim Kams
came up with the idea last semester
after the restaurant had to tow sever-

the Hardee’s lot.

“We did not want it to be a nega-

Parking tags are issued to each
lottery winner, and the restaurant
keeps records of each students'
names. license numbers, and the
makes and models of their cars.

The spaces are monitored closely

to insure that the program isn‘t
abused.

Clark said the restaurant's manag-

Houston columnist fired after
disclosing his homosexuality

Associated Press

HOUSTON — A columnist for
The Houston Post was fired after
defying his editors“ orders by pub-
licly discussing his homosexuality.

Juan Palomo, who tried to an-
nounce he was gay in a July 9 col-
umn, was fired after giving an inter-
view to the weekly Houston Press
about his dispute with Post editors,
who had ordered him to cut the an-
nouncement from the column.

“Juan chose to take the matter
public to the extent I felt would be
detrimental to the Post and I told
him that." Charles Cooper. the
newspaper‘s senior vice president
and editor, said in an internal memo
Aug. 3I.Cooper said Post officials
also objected to Palomo’s decision
to talk about the conflict with other
media.Angry Post reporters circulat-
ed a petition Aug. 30 asking that Pa-
Iomo be reinstated.

Palomo told the Houston Chroni~
cle his dismissal was “a matter of
pride and machismo. They can't
stand the idea of someone not toe-
ing the line."

Michigan Supreme Court
Throws Out 33-Million Libel
Award

LANSING. Mich. — The state
supreme court has thrown out a $3
million libel award won by two men
who said a I979 newspaper series
falsely implied they had connec-
tions with organized crime.

Gary Franccll and Joseph J. Lo
cricchio, fonner owners of the Pine
Knob entertainment complex near
Detroit. did not claim the facts in
the four-part series by The Detroit
News were wrong.

The series sketched the history of
Pine Knob and the deaths of two
people who figured in its develop—
ment. It also looked at the source of
a $200,000 loan used in its con-
struction and several investors asso-
ciated with organized crime.The

court’s Aug. 26 ruling said the two
men had failed to show that the arti-
cles contained any false implica-
tions or false statements. It side-
stepped the question of whether
private individuals can sue for libel
Over the implication of articles with
no false statements.

Richard E. Rassel. attorney for
The Evening News Association
lnc., said the newspaper was de-
lighted with the deci-
sion.“Obviously, we're elated and I
think our feeling is that it‘s a major
victory for the public‘s right to
know,” he said.The plaintiffs‘ attor~
ney. Pamela Hobbs. had no immedi-
ate comment.

An attorney who filed a brief on
behalf of the Detroit Free Press said
the case was of great concern to
Michigan news organizations.

“It would have had a terribly
chilling effect on the reporting of
public interest subjects if you had to
not only worry about making sure
your reporting was truthful, but you
had to also guard against any con-
ceivable implication," said Herschel
Fink.

A Wayne County Circuit Coun

jury had awarded Locricchio no
damages and Franccll $3 million,
but the judge set it aside. The Mich-
igan Court of Appeals reinstated the
$3 million award without reviewing
the trial recordln reversing the ap-
peals court. the Supreme Court said
the entire record should have been
reviewed because of the case’s First
Amendment importance.

Inmate says college education turned life around

Associated Press

EDDYVILLIZ, Ky. —» In I981.
20-year-old Scott Payne didn't have
much going for him.

He was in the Kentucky State
Penitentiary serving time for rob-
bery and several other crimes.

The Owensboro native had been
kicked out of school in the seventh
grade and was reading and writing
at a third-grade level. He admits he
was antisocial and rebelled against
society.

Payne says his life has turned
around —— even though he's still in
prison ~— because he’s taken advan-
tage of the prison‘s education pro-
grams.

In December. he expects to be»
come the firm penitentiary inmate to
earn a bachelor’s degree from Mur»

ray State University. And he said
he‘s been rehabilitated through edu-
cation.

“it has completely changed the
way I look at things. When I came
in here. I had a drug problem and I
was real antisocial." Payne said. “I
didn‘t believe in the system and
thought everyone should be out for
themselves.

“Education has given me a differ-
ent perspective on things. I’ve
learned you can’t just be out for
yourself. I know now that you can
get anything out of life you want, if
you are willing to work for it"

Payne also said he used to think
there were only two sides to every
issue.

“I didn’t think that there was any
middle ground. l‘ve leamed now
that things aren’t always black and

white and that there are variations
in between.

“This may sound odd, but the
more education I get. the more I've
found out what I don't know. I used
to think I had all of the answers. but
now I know that I don’t."

Payne said his life began to
change in 1983 when he enrolled in
aGED program.

“I wasn't interested in getting my
high school diploma, but I wanted
to learn to read and write," Payne
said in an interview in the prison li-
brary where he spends most of his
free time.

“I learned that when you are in
prison. the only way to communi-
cate with the street is through let-
ters. I decided I had to read and
write. I worked hard and read every-
thing I could get my hands on.“

In less than two years, be com-
plt‘led the program and earned his
high school diploma He figured he
was finished with education until a
few years later when one of his pris-
on friends asked him to join him in
a two~year college program offered
by Murray State.

“I had no desire to go on to high-
er education. but I told him that if
he enrolled, I‘d enroll. He went up
and signed us both up. and then I
was obligated.“

Murray offered four courses per
semester by sending professors to
the prison

“I didn‘t think I could do it and I
was real leery," Payne said. “Every-
one told me the first semester would
be the hardest. but I got three Bs
and a C. l was amazed and sur-
prised myself It really motivated
me and I wanted to continue."

Kentucky’s economy
struggling, experts say

Associated Press

A state economist says Ken-
tucky's economy slid in to a reces-
sion last October that is likely to
last at least several more months.

“We‘re feeling the effects of it,
and it won't be over until next
spring at the earliest," said Ed
Blackwell, chief labor market ana-
lyst for the state Cabinet for Human
Resources.

Blackwell puts most of the blame
on a sluggish non-farm job market.

The coal industry, a mainstay of
rural Kentucky, has been slumping
badly. A mild winter last year creat-
ed a coal surplus, and the spot mar
ket price has dropped to about $25 a
ton.

Amendments to the Clean Air Act
last year forced utilities to make
quick, sometimes expensive deci-
sions about what kind of coal to
use. There is talk many will turn to
less-expensive, low—sulfur Wyo-
ming coal, leaving Kentucky coal
operators, especially in western
Kentucky, with a smaller market.

Overall the situation has created a
sense of urgency within the indus-
try, and has led to layoffs. Island
Creek Coal Co., which has its head»
quarters in Lexington. recently of-
fered early retirement to many of its
employees and has not ruled out the
possibility of layoffs.

Statewide unemployment rose to
7.4 percent in July. compared with
6.3 percent nationally and 5.? per
cent a year ago. Double-digit uneme
ployrnent is now commonplace tn
many Kentucky counties, and the
official count ts thought to underes
timate the number of people out of
work

A Louisville economist disagreed
that Kentucky slipped into a reces-
sion. but said growth Will probably

Pravda

be mild for the rest of the year.

“Though we have a spotty econo-
my, growth remains positive." said
James McCabe, chaimian of the de-
partment of economics and finance
at the University of LouisVille.

The slump hasn‘t been limited to
any one segment of the economy,
but high unemployment and failing
businesses have been more common
in rural areas.

Still, the hard times have hit Lex—
ington, which had grown steadily
right through the most recent recesv
sions, officials said.

In 1975, the recession was dnven
by rising oil prices, which forced
energy consumers to burn more
coal. That helped both the state and
Lexington economy. The recession
years of the early l98tls affected
Kentucky, but Lexington continued
to grow. This was Widely attributed
to the wltite~collar nature of its
workforce.

'I'he complexion of the workforce,
in Lexington and tlte state, has
changed since then. Thousands of
manufacturing jobs were added.
When Toyota Motor Manufacturing
USA Inc. announced that it would
btiild a Camry plant in Georgetown.
the state became a popular, central,
ly located site for manufacturing
plants. As many as 50 mamr Llillti~
motive “satellite" plants have
moyed here since Toyota's arrival.

'I‘he )obs were welcome, but they
might have bad the side effect oi
making the economy more like the
nation's and thus more suscepti-
ble to national recessions

this is a first."

While some other Kentucky cities
posted modest gains in employ-
ntent, Lexington showed a slight de~
cltne during the second quarter of
this year versus 1990. Coomes said
Louithlle lost manufacturing jobs
during the 1980s, but gained ser—
vtce-industry Jobs, which made it
less vulnerable in hard umes.

MOSCOW Pravda has re
tiimed to print as an independent
newspaper without its customary
portrait of Lenin or financial
support from the Communist Party

“Today. Pravda is left practically
without any financial support what-
soever," said a front-page statement
Aug. II. “In this critical situation
for the newspaper we appeal to our
readers: 'lhe publication of Pravda
will depend largely on you your-
selves."

The paper was closed for a week
by Russian President Boris Yeltsin
for allegedly supporting the tailed
hard-line (,‘oniniunist coup. Izdttors
said they had no choice but to print
the conspirators' statements anti de«
crees. and that their staff reporting
on the coup was neutral.

can character."

very simple; It is the love of poo
pie."

His son saxd he had suffered a se-
