Russia

 

 

Editor's note: The following is an
excerpt from an interview with two
UK students who spent spring break
in the Commonwealth of Indepen-
dent States. Russian senior Tonja
Wilt, who was not present for the in-
terview. also took the trip.

By ZOYA TERESHKOVA
Staff Writer

They dn'nk strong Russian tea in
Bennett Knox‘s room in Jewell
Hall. looking at pictures and recall-
ing their trip.

The students — Russian junior
Aimee Waugh and resource conser-
vation senior Knox —— spent 11
days in the Commonwealth of lnde-
pendent States during spring break.

WAUGH: Our friends Misha, Iri-
na and Yelena, students from Vladi-
mir (University) who spent a semes~
ter in UK last year. told us what
Russian people would look like. We
also learned about Russia from our
language teachers. This information
helped us during our trip. If we
don‘t have it. we probably would be
shocked. Why? It is difficult to ex-
plain. It’s really a different world if
compared with our country. And it
is going through really very tough
times.

KNOX: Endless lines for bread.
Ragged. starving people on the
streets. I have been asked about
these things many times. Actually.
we haven‘t seen a lot of lines. and
they were not so long. Women in
Russian cities are dressed beautiful-
ly. We haven‘t seen a lot of “ba-
bushkas." which seem to be a fa-
vorite subject for American
journalists to take pictures of.

As for beggars We saw them
on every subway station in Mos-
cow and St. Petersburg. Misha ex-
plained that most of them were
“professionals" who could eam
more money this way than by doing
something else. Even the children
are involved in this “business."

WAUGH: We found the streets
in Russian cities crowded. noisy
and full of activity. A lot of people
sell goods and food on the streets.
everything from beer and toilet
paper to jeans and coats. There
were many bands performing out-
side. People were singing, dancing.
drinking. It was like a festival.

KNOX: But we haven't made a
conclusion that Russia took today‘s
problems lightly. We felt that peo-
ple were under stress. You know.
everybody has to find his way to
survive in this tough time.

 

WAUGH: We met Misha. Irina
and Yelena and discovered that they
were different from how we knew
them before. Here in Lexington.
they were relaxed and happy. it was
a great time. We had a lot of fun.
You know. parties. movies And
now all of them seemed to have
things on their minds.

KNOX: i should just think so!
Misha's scholarship is 300 roubles a
month. On this money. you can buy
6 to 7 pounds of meat or, for exam-
ple, a dozen of grapefruits. Misha‘s
mother lost her job because her
plant was closed, so he forgot about
movies and parties and earned mon-
ey by designing and assembling
beds and selling them to the store

WAUGH: Despite the tough fi-
nancial situation and a lot of prob-
lems our friends and their parents in
Vladimir treated us very well. l‘m
afraid it costs them a lot of money.
But everything was so delicious! It
is a traditional Russian hospitality.

KNOX: We were welcomed with
opened arms — not only in Vladi-
mir —~ everywhere we went. People
were so warm and open-minded!
I’m afraid if they come here they

As the son of an oil executive,
Allen Perry got a chance to see the
world when he was young.

Living in Singapore and Eng-
land. he traveled extensively in
Southeast Asia and Europe.

But the UK history graduate is
hoping to be more than an observ-
er of the world in the future. With
a $10,000 Walter Annenberg Fel-
lowship. Perry is planning to pur-
sue a master’s degree in intema-
tional affairs at UK’s Patterson
School of Diplomacy and Intema-
tional Commerce and enter the
United States‘ foreign service as a
diplomat to Latin America.

While Perry does not expect to
change the world, he does want to
leave his mark on US. foreign
policy.

“If I can have a tiny piece in the
policies we make here. that would
be great.“ he said.

Perry particularly is interested
in improving relations between the
United States and Latin American
countries. two regions of the world
which are more closely related
than might be readily apparent. he
said.

“We‘re tied closer together than
a lot of people might think,“ Perry
said. “We can’t have our economy
have a downturn without it hurting
them."

Another barrier that exists be-
tween the United States and Latin

 

JEFF BURLEW/Komol Slut

UK history graduate Allen Perry will pursue a master's degree in
international affairs with his Walter Annenberg Fellowship.

American countries is the lack of
a free—trade agreement with Mexi-
co, Perry said. In addition to rais-
ing wages and the standard of liv-
ing in Mexico. the agreement
would alleviate problems of ille-
gal aliens crossing iiito the United

States. he said.

Career diplomats who spend 20
or 30 years in the profession are
an especially valuable resource to
the United States because they can
have more of a long-lasting impact
on international events than some

Award helps student see the world

elected officials who spend just a
few years in office, Perry said.

“Your can have more of a hand
in long-tenn policy like that." he
said.

“liiteniatioiial types” like l’erry.
who have spent some time abroad
and “have already developed a
strong interest in international af-
fairs" are suited to the foreign ser-
vice profession. said Vince Davis.
director of the Patterson School.

When reviewing applications to
the school, Davis keeps an eye
out for applicants who are enter—
ing foreign service because they
think it is “glamorous."

“They get their ideas of the for»
eign service from reading Nation-
al Geographic in the dentist‘s of-
fice." Davis said.

But that is not a problem for
Perry. He will continue his globe
trotting this summer with a trip to
Costa Rica where he plans to
spend five weeks brushing up on
his Spanish.

“Hopefully. that will make me
more attractive to the foreign scr-
vicc people.“ he said.

A degree from the Patterson
School should help. too, Davis
said. Although the school is the
smallest of IS diplomacy schools
across the country it is recognized
as “one of the most prestigioUs
schools in the field." he said.

The school instructs its students

Calumet Farm was sold. The

Kentucky basketball fans are no

macies report that prescriptions for
Prozac have reached record levels

speakable.

It’s about time! Anyone around
in one of the movie theater's prey i<
ous incamations knows what a cul-
tural godsend this is. I remember
going to the Kentucky and sitting
through two shows some nights: I
avoided paying twice by going in
the men‘s rooin and re-entering.
Sometimes I just sat in my seat be-
tween shows. The usher might look
my way. but usually they said noth-
ing. That‘s just the kind of place the
Kentucky was. a place where you
could hang out. see people. watch
great movies on a giant screen and
see what you could get away with. l

I saw movies like “Pink Floyd: The
Wall," “Brazil." “A Clockwork

ones. It's hard to explain to people
who have only seen these movies

to be. with a blaring soundtrack and
surrounded by a crowd of like-

Relaxed

Goodarz

concerns Emery

By ERNEST L. WRENTMORE
Staff Writer

Australia brings to mind kanga-
roos and koala bears, the outback
and thoughts of the laid back.

Mayhar Goodarz, Melbourne’s
native son, may epitomize Austra-
lia‘s relaxed persona as well as an
athlete can.

Being chic on the tennis court not
only includes temper tantrums,
throwing racquets and cursing um-
pires.

It seems trying to mimic Jimmy
Connors' fist-pumping frenzies,
which only Connors looks comfort-
able performing, has become a fa-
vorite court pastime for some, as
well.

So. in an era when being in
vogue seems priority, Goodarz's
personality on the court is refresh-
mg.

“Because I don't throw my rac-
quet or swear, people think I don't
try. Even when I first got here,
that’s what the coaches thought.
But now they know that's just the
way l am. it’s just not my way to
project an image of anger.”

His first. flat serve backed by a
kicker of a second serve has canted
him notice. His strokes are power-
ful. built on the consistency of
huge. wind-up looping swings. And
his expression always stays the
same. whether he crushes a winner
or hits an errant shot that looks like
he's taking batting practice.

“Not getting angry is to my ad-
vantage." he said. “I really don‘t
like to go on too high or too low
emotional levels.

UK tennis coach Dennis Emery
said Goodarz reminds him of soph-
omore Jamal Mashbum. UK basket-
bali's gentle giant.

Goodarz and Mashbum have tre-
mendous obvious talents and can

sometimes drive a coach — who
wants to extract the raw talent out
of the player immediately — in-

sane, Emery said.
“People kind of watch him some-

times and think he isn't trying
sometimes." he said. “They've said
the same thing about Mashbum.
Their weakness is that they don't
get up on emotion sometimes when
they need to win. But it's their
strength to rock along and play on
the same level."

Emery said he is trying to get UK
basketball coach Rick Pitino to talk
with Goodarz. Pitino has coddled
Mashbum into one of the top
players in the country, as well as
professional basketball players Pat-
rick Ewing and Mark Jackson while
with the New York Knicks.

“Somebody like Coach Pitino.
who has a lot of charisma and has
dealt with star-type people. could
really help Mayhar in terms of de-
veloping his potential and personal-
ity to really become a champion."

Although Goodarz said he is will-
ing to try, he is somewhat skeptical
of how much pep talks really help a
player.

“We‘ve had speeches from (UK
football) Coach (Bill) Curry. and
that's all and good and well. But in
the end. you have to do it yourself.
Some people find that religion
helps them. but I look inside tnyself
to try to achieve my best."

The undeclared sophomore’s
overall match record is 12-5. And
although the losses have been few,
they have been the kind that create
ulcers for a coach.

After being up a set and a break
against then-No. 2 Pepperdine. he
lost After playing against No. 6
Georgia even for most of the first
set. he lost. After being up 5-3 and
serving for the first set against No.
11 Louisiana State University. he
lost in straight sets.

After most of his losses, Goodarz
usually goes to Emery‘s office for a
little “therapy."

“He’s always mad when I lose,"
Goodarz said. “He hates my losing.
He tells me I can be good. He keeps
at me and tries to get the best out of
me whether it’s screaming or what~

several of the recent touma-
ments. he said once again his
club was one of the smallest
fielded.

But senior Dean Sheets said
lack of talent should be the ex-
cuse for the poor performance.

“I don‘t think we had quite the
talent as most teams there, but
usually our scrappiness over-
comes that." Sheets said. “We
just never got started."

The youth of the team also
may have played a role with 10
players on the club having never
played in either regionals or na-
tionals. The club also had to
tnake do tnost of the year with-
out a coach. Senior TJ. Meagh-
er coached for the first part of
the year. but then resumed play-
ing. An assistant from the wom-
en‘s volleyball team took over,
but soon lost interest, leaving
the team coachless for the last
weeks of the season.

“We didn‘t have any hard
practices," Sheets said. “We
showed up in a game like we
were out playing around."

Although Wala said he
thought this would be a rebuild-
ing year. the team started out
like All-Americans, sweeping a
weekend series in North Caroli-
na University against some of
Atlantic Coast Conference‘s
best. They finished with disap-
pointing finishes in the Michi-
gan invitational and regional
tournament.

and youth at others for Dennis Emery's men’s tennis team.

is good because I‘m laid back. and
it's a good way to get the point
across.”

To some who aren't familiar with
college tennis, Goodarz may seem
to be a choke artist trying to thr0w
talent away. But that’s not the case.

"Sometimes. when playing No. i
all the time, he’s playing guys that
are really good." Emery said.
“Those guys are more experienced.
more mature. But in titne. he's go~
ing to be one of the best players to
ever play here. He will be an All—
American.“

Goodarz, who is ranked No. 54 in
the latest Volvo collegiate rankings.
made progressive leaps towards all-
American last weekend by staving
off triple match point in the third
set against South Carolina. He won
the last four grunes tmd the match.

With his facial expression after a
big victory matching the one after a
devastating loss. he watched his op—
ponent throw his racquet across the
court.

“Well. it looks like I broke the
bad streak l was on." he said.
