Kentucky Ker

U.N. actions in Somalia questioned f

 

By Melissa Rosenthal
Staff Writer

 

UK foreign policy expens have
some criticisms of the United Na-
tions' recent involvement in Somal-
ia and the methods it has used in
handling situations it had not
planned for.

“The UN. process in Somalia is
a textbook example of the worst
policy making effort ever," said
John Stempel. director of the Patter-
son School of Diplomacy and Inter-
national Commerce.

The Somalia situation was dis-
cussed last night in the Student
Center during “Somalia: Problems,
Prospects. Options," a public forum
on the topic. About 100 people at-

tended the meeting.
Karen Mingst. Political Science
Department chairwoman. agreed

with parts of Stempel's assessment
of the UN.‘s involvement.

“The UN. involvement has basi-
cally been a humanitarian effort,"
she said.

“But by the time the UN. got in-
volved. the economic situation and
famine had gotten way out of
hand.“

Mingst went on to say that the
first UN. forces that were sent into
Somalia were ill-equipped to handle
the country‘s problems.

“By the time the country was mo-
bilized for famine relief, it was too
late. Many people had died. and the
country was falling apart.“

Although Mingst stated some ac-
complishments of the United Na-
tions. she was quick to point out the
problems that the United Nations
created.

 

Turnout high
for first day

of flu shots

By Heather Reister
Staff Writer

 

 

flu season is closing in. but
it's still not too late get inocu-
lated.

The University Health Ser-
vice will offer flu shots again
today from 8:30 am. to 4
pm.

Dr. Spencer Turner. direc-
tor of the Student Health Ser-
vice. said about 225 people
received vaccinations yester-
day —— almost double the
number given last year.

Because of yesterday‘s re-
sults. Turner said he expects a
high turnout again today.

Flu shots usually are given
between mid-October and
mid-November so people can
build up immunity to the virus
before peak flu season — usu-
ally December through
March.

Turner noted that “we are
past due" for a major flu out-
break and encouraged mem-
bers of the UK community to
get inoculated.

“We have the potential for a
significant outbreak of in-
fluenza this year." he said.

Influenza is a statistical dis-
ease, which means that it runs
in cycles.

The fact that Kentucky is
past due for an outbreak. com-
bined with the facts that the
Beijing strain seems to be sig-
nificant and that regional out-
breaks have been reported.
raise red flags for health pro-
fessionals. Turner said.

The Beijing strain is not
particularly unusual or dead-
ly. state and county officials
health say. but few people
have developed an immunity
to it because it is so new.

This year's vaccine is for-
mulated to fight this strain.

Vaccinations at the Univer-
sity Health Service cost $10
and available to students. fa-
culty and staff.

 

 

 

 

JAMES FORBUSWKemol Staff

Political science graduate student Nelson Messone speaks last night about the United Nations'
involvement in war-torn Somalia.

“The biggest problem of all is
that the UN. troops seem to suffer
major communication, logistics and
coordination problems, so they
have a hard time getting anything
done the way it is planned." she
said.

Political science doctoral candi-
date Nelson Messone opened the
discussion session with a brief his-

tory of the problems in Somalia. He
explained that after Somalia gained
independence. it was a country in
need of leadership.

In 1969. nine years after indepen-
dence was gained, General Mo-
harnrned Siad Barre seized power in
a military coup.

“Although he overthrew the gov-
emrnent at the time. Barre actually

had some good ideas conceming
agriculture. the status of women
and the establishment of a Somalian
bureaucracy." Messone said.

“In 1991. Barre was ousted by
Hawaiye-based United Somali Con-
gress. This is when the large-scale
violence and problems you see to-
day erupted.”

Survey: Central Kentuckians disapprove of Clinton

Most of those polled say they

A whopping 45 percent of central

percent of voters thought Clinton
was doing a good job.

Seventeen percent of respondents
were undecided.

Cantrell said the results of the
survey reflect public dissatisfaction
with Clinton‘s handling of foreign
policy in Somalia and efforts to re‘
form US. health care.

If the poll had been conducted

would have fared much better.

ton‘s heath care reform effort mir-
ror the President‘s approval ratings:
39 percent of respondents said they

didn‘t approve of the plan, while 37
percent supported it.

The Nonh American Free Trade
Agreement fared well in the survey.
although most of those polled said
they didn't understand it enough to
take a position.

About 27 percent supported it
while 21 percent said they opposed
it. Fully 40 percent said they were
uninfomied about the issue, while
12 percent said they were undecid-
ed.

Cantrell has been doing a politi-
cal survey at I.(‘(‘ since the fall of
I988. His students conduct the sur-
veys in the fall and the spring of
each year.

Most of the students feel good

about their knowledge of politics
after the surveys because they find
they are generally well infonned.
Cantrell said.

“It's a learning experience for
them because they realize how
more informed they are than the
public." Cantrell said.

Cantrell said this semester‘s sur-
vey showed a lack of knowledge
about Lexington’s Urban County
Councilrace.

He said many students told him
the people they interviewed had
very little knowledge of the candi-
dates.

The survey also queried voters
about gambling in Kentucky. It
found that most Kentuckians — 49

percent — support some kind of le-
galized gambling, but they are
sharply divided on what types
should be allowed.

One quarter of those polled fa-
vored casino gambling. but 8 per-
cent though gambling should be re-
stricted to horse racing.

About 6 percent thought garn-
bling should be limited to river
boats. while 10 percent said both
river boat and horse track gambling
should be the only kinds allowed.

About 43 percent opposed all
types of gambling.

Program to educate rural dentists

 

By Tammy Gay
Senior Staff Writer

 

UK’s College of Dentistry has
been awarded a federal grant to es-
tablish an advanced education pro
gram for rural Kentucky dentists.

The 5500.000 grant. given by the
Health Resources and Services Ad-
ministration of the Department of
Health and Human Services. will al-
low UK to set up a program using
video classrooms. computer tech-
nology and other electronic meth-
ods to further practicing dentists‘
educations.

Dr. David Nash, dean of the Col-
legc of Dentistry, said the program
will allow practicing dentists to
keep pace with rapidly changing
new technologies.

He said basic dental information
can become outdated in just six to
seven years. and dentists who don't
continually educate themselves get
left behind.

"On a regular basis. we have new
understandings about very simple
material." Nash said.

The program. which will enroll
students beginning in 1905. also
will give practicing dentists a
clumce to obtain a graduate certifi-
cation in advanced general dentistry
and a master‘s degree from UK‘s
College of Dentistry.

“It is a program that we think the
times all for." Nash said.

“It will acknowledge the prob-

WROCKLAGE

 

By Jim Drinkard
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON — The govem-
ment‘s rrtain aid program for stu-
dents after high school is being
robbed of millions of dollars by
schools that provide little job train-
ing or obtain grants fraudulently
from lax managers. congressional
investigators testified yesterday.

The so— —called Pell grant program
provides 4.1 million students $6.3
billion in grants this year to attend
universities. colleges and vocational
schools.

in several cases. the Senate Per-
manent Subcommittee on Investiga-
tions found orthodox Jewish
schools in New York City had be—
come “Pell grant mills," existing
primarily to reap federal tuition aid
dollars.

Sen. Sam Nunn. D-Ga., said the
hearings produced “a good deal of
information that needs to be sent to
the Department of Justice“ for crim-
inal investigation.

One school, Bais Emma in
Brooklyn, “is enrolling entire fami-
lies and entire neighborhoods into
its program." said subcommittee
counsel Alan Edelman.

Since becoming eligible for Pell
graan in 1983. the school has col-
lected $22.4 million.

Of 2,000 students at the school in

1991-92. 97 percent got Pcll
grants. the investigators said.

Most got the maximum. $2.400.

Some 530 families had at least
two members getting grants.

One family had nine members at
the school on Pell grants.

lidelman cited records showing
that one student. Sara Hoffman. got
Pell grants to attend Bais Fruma
and three other New York-area
schools. When investigators ques-
tioned her. she said she had never
enrolled at Bais Fruma or one of
the other schools.

Bais Fruma‘s file on the woman
included various forms bearing her
apparently forged signatures — in-
cluding one that spelled her first
name wrong. Edelman said.

He said the school schemed to
get federal dollars to subsidize rev
ligious study that religious mem—
bers of the community would nor-
mally participate in anyway.

The school also used at least one
broker to generate Pell grant appli-
cations. he said.

Files of 33 Bais Fruma students
were found when authorities raided
the office of broker Jacob Ginz-
burg.

He said it appears Pell grants
have been used by the Munkacser
Hasidic movement. the school's
sponsor, “to funnel federal funds to
various religious institutions."

 

Somalia

Continued from Page 1

After Messone gave a detailed
history of the problems in Somalia.
Mingst spoke of United Nations in-
volvement in the peace keeping
and rebuilding efforts.

Stempel went added that the me-
dia has turned a factual standoff
with casualties into a problem with
the administration.

“Although the administration as
a unit does not understand the

problem, I believe that they do un-
derstand that military intervention is
not the solution." Stempel said.

Geography doctoral candidate
Mohameden Ould-Mey said most
Americans do not understand the
problems in Somalia.

"I hear that many US. citizens
don‘t think the whole country of So-
malia is wonh the life of one Amer-
ican. but they do not understand that
the whole reason for intervention is
for economic gain."

Keep track of Keeneland etiquette

Friendly guidelines will promote
insider persona, winning style

 

By John Dyer Fort
Senior Staff Writer

 

Going to Keeneland? Want a tip?
No, not on winners. Something bet-
ter.
How about having fun and look-
ing good too! After all, this is
Keeneland: “Racing as it was
meant to be" right here in the alpi-
tal of the Thoroughbred World.

Here's a guide to Keeneland
that's a sure bet to make any green-
hom walk, talk and spit like a good
Kentucky hardboot.

DO go on a weekday. It‘s the
only way to enjoy a day at the rac-
es.

DON’T go on a Saturday, except
to be seen. of course. The paddock-
to-parking lot crowd makes it hard
to stretch your elbows and see
horsefiesh without being aggres-
sive. And aggression is completely
unhorsemanlike.

DO walk around and experience
Keeneland. Try this circuit and im-
press your friends with your horse
sense: Before each race, observe
the horses in the paddock; when
they head for the track, head for the
windows and place your bet; then
proceed to a pre—chosen spot to see

the race. After the race, begin again
at the paddock. If you win. cash in
when you make your next bet (it
saves time).

DON’T park yourself iii front of
a TV monitor — even if it's that
special one strategically near the
bar and your “lucky" betting win-
dow.

DO dress like you just came from
the stabling area, including boots
and jeans (preferably speckled with
mud and suaw). Explain that you
just got the horses fed in time to see
the filly you bred and sold run its
first race. Say this with a faraway.
misty look in your eye.

DON’T dress like you're in the
clubhouse when you're not —— it's
so tres gauche.

D0 watch the horses in either the
paddock or the post parade. You
can tell a lot by how they act. Just
use common sense.

DON’T bet on a horse that looks
unfit or sloppy. Sweating or foam-
ing at the mouth could be signs of
eagerness —— or distress. Coughing
or wheezing are equine pleas for
help.

DO bet on a horse that is beauti-
ful, muscular and looks eager to
run, but not wild. This is no guaran-
tee of a winner, but it will help nar-

row the field. If he winks at you
:2): horse, not the jockey). bet the
k.

DON‘T tell anyone you don‘t
know how to read the Daily Racing
Form. Chances are, they don't ei-
ther.

DO buy a Form and have it stick-
ing out your coat pocket. Don't
read it frantically 10 minutes before
each race. If you didn‘t study it that
morning (presumably after getting
the horses in and fed), forget it.

DON’T bet on a horse because
you love its name or because pink
and green are your favorite colors.
Keep those private powers of intui-
tion to yourself.

[)0 say things like, “My horse
showed really good form its last
time out"; “A trainer friend of mine
gave me a tip"; “This horse had a
brilliant workout yesterday"; or,
best of all. “This horse loves
Keeneland in October."

DON'T say things like: “I‘m
due"; “I know it's 99-1. but I have
afeeling"; or “I gotta bet it, my
dog had a similar name."

D0 look at the statistics on jock-
eys and trainers in the daily pro-
gram. They often have hot streaks
or cold meets.

DON’T watch the tote board.
watch the race (10,000 people
cheering for a light board can be
wrong). Know your horse‘s colors.
A wager — even a $2 bet — makes
it more exciting.

DON’T ask why they don‘t call

ly Breed, in no way keep the over-
all production from being highly
entertaining and worth seeing.

“Cabaret“ is a burlesque, and of-
ten campy, commentary on the
lives of several Germans who live
in Berlin in 1930, prior the rise of
Nazi power.

The play‘s action centers around
the Club Caligari. which provides
its patrons with an escape from re-
ality.

At the same time. the cabaret
also provides commentary on reali-

ty.

The set, designed by Tom Burch,
does not take advantage of all the
design opportunities the play of-
fers.

Though it is necessary for the set
to be simplistic and functional. the
seemingly thrown-together back-
drop doesn't convey the feeling of
either a club or a small apartment
building.

There are. however, positive and
clever aspects of the set.

The tablecloths at the Club Cali-
gari have a glowing spider web de-

sign on them. conveying a sense of
entrapment.

Overall. though, the costumes and
makeup do a much better job of set-
ting the tone of the play.

Though the acting is mediocre,
the strong singing, coupled with in-
credibly ingenious choreography,
make “Cabaret" highly enjoyable.

Derek Duvall, as the naive Amer-
ican Clifford Bradshaw. regrettably
does not have more songs to sing.
His moving singing voice carries
more emotional impact than does
his acting. which is flat at times.

Norma Jean Hopper as Sally
Bowles puts no emotion into her
singing or her acting. Iler weak
voice is overwhelmed by the band.
and she seems to concentrate more
on her English accent than on put-
ting any feeling into her role.

lay Aubrey, as the devilish em-
cee, and Bill Bano, as Herr Schultz.
give the best overall performances
of the production.

Aubrey's lively and humorous
dancing, coupled with his strong
voice. elecuify the stage.

Barto’s touching performance is
incredibly realistic, and the chemis-
try between Herr Schultz and Frau-
lein Schneider. played by Susan
Thomas. is both humorous and
highly touching.

The highlight of the whole pro-
duction. though. is Billy Breed's

phenomenal choreography.

The energetic and acrobatic danc-
ing is taxing on the endurance of
the talented (‘aligari girls and boys
but thrilling for the audience.

“Cabaret“ makes for an enjoyable
night of theater. Though flawed in
some areas, to paraphrase the em-
cee, “the musical was beautiful."

"Cabaret" is showing tonight,
F riday. Saturday and Nov. 4 and 5
at 8 pm. at ArisPlace. An 11 p.m
show also will be performed Satur-
day. Call 257-4929 for ticket infor-

the race over a public address sys-
tem. Keeneland is the only track in
North America that doesn‘t. It‘s a
matter of intense pride.

DON’T yell at the horse if it los-
es; always blame the jockey. Use
the jockey's first name for empha-
sis. Yell things like, “My grand-
mother rides a tractor better than
that."

DON’T gawk at local celebrities.
Horse people pride themselves on
their common touch — at least with
the hired help. If someone says.
“Look, there's Anita Blueblood."
simply reply: “I know. She tried to
borrow $20 from me in the bath-
room."

DON‘T sit in an empty box.
even if it belongs to the friend of a
friend of a roommate of someone
you once had a class with. Even if
it's been empty all day. Out of no-
where, a man with a green jacket
will appear and banish and brand
you for trespassing sacred class
barriers. This will not impress your
date.

DO claim a quiet place that‘s off
the beaten path but provides a view
of the action. Suggested areas: the
north end of the grandstand (where
you will find the finish line, fewer
people, the least used windows, and
bathrooms and concessions without
climbing a maze of stairs). the
benches near the paddock under the
trees and the second floor club-
house window overlooking the pad-
dock (to people watch).

\ ; “ARE YOU STRESSED-OUT?”

Take a load off and come to Bible Study!

Anyone who has listened to the
radio over the past 10 years has
probably heard at least one of
"Weird Al" Yankovic‘s recordings.

With musical parodies like “Eat
It." “Fat" and “Smells Like Nirva-
na.” he has marked his place in
popular music.

Unfortunately. that place is a
small, dark corner that only gets
light for a brief period of time eve—
ry couple of years.
