Graduate School Senator Steve 01-
shewsky early this week sent a let-
ter to the SGA Committee on Com-
mittees saying he will resign from
his post if asked by members of the

committee of the Senate.

“I‘m not wanting to be the source
of any controversy," Olshewsky
said. “If they say they want me off,
I'll leave."

Olshewsky said he was asked by
Senate Pro Tempore and Senator at
Large Misty Weaver to resign after
he made off-color remarks during

the Senate meeting last Wednesday
night.

During voting on whether to table
SGA President Lance Dowdy‘s
budget bill, Olshewsky became up-
set when he believed he had been
slighted by Ken Luthy. who was
filling in for the Senate clerk.

Olshewsky said he thought Luthy.

SGA National Issues Fonrm clnir-
man. read the name “Olshitsky” and
mocked him after calling out the
name.

Olshewsky became upset and
yelled. “Fm you. man. F-- you.

HIV testing now is conducted
anonymously at UK's Student
Health Service. The old policy
may have prevented people from
seeking the test. a survey has
found.

Previously. the health service
guaranteed confidentiality only
to students who asked for the
screening. which can detect the
presence of the virus that causes
AIDS.

But many students inter-
viewed last fall for a survey on
the health service said the policy
discouraged people from getting
tested at UK.

The survey also reported that
many students felt the health ser-
vice lacked adequate parking.
it's location was inconvenient,
staff members were discourteous
and clients had to wait too long
before seeing doctors.

Students also said they wanted
more information on AIDS. birth
control. sexually transmitted dis-
eases and acquaintance rape.

Dr. Spencer Turner. director
of Student Health. said the ser-
vice isinthep'ocessofaddress-
ing these student complaints.

Turner said three or four Corr-

 

tinuous Quality Improvement corn-
mittees are being set up to look at
ways of improving health services
for students.

A partial appointment plan to
eliminate waiting time and a more
convenient location for the service
are two of the ideas being re-
searched by the committees.

Sophomore Stacey Haynes said
the appointment plan would be a
good idea if students didn't abuse it
by skipping appointments.

“1 came yesterday and had to
leave because (the clinic) was full.
but it‘s understandable because the
clinic is on a walk-in basis and they
can't control how many people
come in at one time." she said.

Already. students say they can see
a change in how the health service
— which serves about 300 clients a
day — is run.

Geoff Wilson. a graduate student
who earned his undergradmte de-
gree from UK. said the service has
“gotten quicker. more organized."

A new pharmacy also is sched-
uled to open Nov. 1 in the Student
Center. The pharrnacy‘s central lo-
cation is expected to help students
save time. and it will be open the
same hours as the Student Health
clinic.

Roughly half the students who re-
sponded to the survey said they
went to the clinic for an illness such

HIV testing policy changed

as pneumonia or a cold. Gyneco-
logical exams, routine exams. inju-
ries and demtatology problems
were cited as less likely reasons for
visiting Student Health.

Mental services and counseling
also are available. but one-third of
the students who answered the sur-
vey said they were unaware of
them.

According to the survey. the use
of the service is fairly equally dis-
tributed between the classes, with
single undergraduates being the pri-
mary users.

Residence did not seem to affect
the use of the service either: 71 per-
cent of clients live off campus.

An interesting finding from the
survey was that the more hours stu-
dents work. the less they use the
service.

“As the hours of employment go
up linearly. the hours of utilization
go down liberally." Turner said.

All full-time students pay a health
fee as part of their registration. Part.

ly.

Psych major’s
life altered
by rainy day

 

By Anna Castella
Contributing Writer

 

Bad weather led Shaun Spen-
cer to some bright times.

Spencer. a psychology major
and pre-med student, is the local
and national president of the Stu-
dent Health Advisory Committee
and chairwoman-elect of the stu-
dents/consumers section of the
American College Health Asso-
ciation, a national committee for
health care reform.

But none of this would be so if
it hadn’t been raining one day
early in Spencer's sophomore
year.

Because a class did not start
for a while and it began raining
hard. Spencer darted into the
closest building and picked up a
copy of the Kentucky Kemel.

“Since I had some time to kill
and I saw the notice of the
SHAC meeting that was going
on. I thought I’d wander in there
just for something to do for a
while." Spencer said. “By the
end of that meeting. I was vice
president!"

When the president of SHAC
resigned soon after that meeting.
Spencer took over the position
she has held since then.

“I was sort of thrown into all
of this.“ Spencer said. “But I‘m
glad I was."

Her involvement with SHAC
has led Spencer to ACHA, where
she will take over as chairwoman
next year.

ACHA represents more than

three million students. but one of
Spencer‘s goals is to draw in
even more colleges and universi-
ties. especially those around the
Kentucky. lndiarra and Ohio re-
gion.
ACHA is gearing up to have a
big impact on the nation‘s new
health care reforms. With the
confirmation of Dr. Joycelyn
Elders as the new surgeon gener-
al of the United States. student

Addicted to Jeopardy? There's a
club on campus tint might be the

“Buicany. it‘s like playing team
Jeopardy." club president Jason

John Abbott, the club‘s secretly-

Competitions me held against
other Kentucky schools five times a

The Quick Recall Club closely re-
sembles another academic lean at
UK — the College Bowl.

But Quick Recall is totally self-

Mom Moffitt is scared to walk in
her Floral Park neighborhood at
night. Other residents of Transylva-
nia Park and Westwood Drive often
call police looking for help.

These residents share concerns as
well as a community. but they share
it with UK students.

“You couldn‘t pay me to get out
and walk after dark in that neigh-
borhood, and it‘s a nice neighbor-
hood." Moffitt said.

Moffitt and nearly 20 others gath-
ered at the Lexington-Fayette

heads in agreement while others de-

“No. I don‘t want my child to see

Fever of Mideast peace catching

Jordan follows Palestinian lead,
signs preliminary pact with Israel

 

By Barry Schweld
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON — Could it be

contagious?

Israel and Jordm signed a frame-
work for a peace treaty yesterday.
while Morocco moved toward rec-
ognizing the Jewish state.

PLO chairman Yasser Arafat said
he was not ready to shuck his utili-
tary uniform. but his handshake at
the White House Monday with Yit-
zhak Rabin found new echoes in the
Arab world.

“I am not a chameleon.” Arafat
said. proudly asserting be still was
oommander~in-chief of a Palestin-
ian array.

However. he said at a news con-
ference that when Palestinians get a
state and control over East Jenisa-
lem Jews would be welcome to
keep living there.

A few miles away. at the State
Department. an “Agenda for Peace"
signed by Israeli and Jordanian dip-

lomats kept the manentum going.
Presiding at the ceremony, Secre-
tary of State Wanen Christopher
said the document was "a very im-
portant step toward that very com-
prehensive peace" between Israel
and the Arabs.

He noted that it came just a day
after “we witnessed the historic
signing of the Israeli-Palestinian
declaration of principles. an event
that really has forever altered the
contours and chemistry of the en-
tire region."

The earlier accord gives the Pal-
estinians immediate administrative
control over Gaza and Jericho and
calls for negotiations within two
years on the future of Jerusalem
and the PLO's quest for a state on
Israeli-held land.

Israel's chief negotiator. Elyakim
Rubinstein. said the agreement
with Jordan was “yet another step
in a long road to peace."

Rubinstein had opposed the ac-
cords with the Palestine Liberation

Organization and flew here from
Jerusalem only to sign the Jorrhni-
an agreement he helped put togeth-
er.

Ambassador Fayez meneh,
who signed for Ja‘dan. said he
hoped it would establish an agenda
for discussions and lead to “a corn-
prehensive peace that will trans-
form the lives of all our peoples."

But in a question-and-answer
session. he stressed in Arabic that
any final agreement would depend
on accords between Israel and all
its Arab neighbors.

“We are not negotiating a truce.
we are negotiating a genuine peace
.. that will last for generations to
come." Tarawneh said. “We don‘t
want to nish."

The product of painstaking di~
plomacy. the Jordan-lsrael agree-
ment could lead to settlement of
the border between the two coun-
tries and launch joint efforts to bar-
ness water resources. protect the
environment and develop the Dead
Sea region.

Negotiations would seek a “mu-
tual commitment not to threaten
each other by any use of force" or
terrorism.

While that ceremony took place,

Israeli Prime Minister Rabin was
in Morocco for a surprise meeting
with King Hassan II, who has long
taken a moderate position toward
Israel.

The meeting was expected to
lead to diplomatic relations.

Rabin said it would not happen
instantly.

“But the fact that from Washing-
tonwearecomingtoRabatandare
meeting with the king perhaps is
another step forward in everything
that is linked to establishing rela-
tions," he said.

At the White House. President
Clinton praised the fast-moving de-
veloprnents.

“We will continue now rapidly
to break down the barriers between
Israel and other nations." he said.

Clinton said be applauded both
the agreement for Palestinian self-
rule and King Hassan's gesture to-
ward Israel.

Arafat. meanwhile. met with
Senate leaders who promised to re-
view U.S. laws that bar financial
assistance to the PLO because of
its long history of terrorism against
Israelis and Americans.

Semte Majority Leader George
Mitchell. D-Maine, said Congress

q 'ckl

and the Clinton administration
would pursue “the best and most
appropriate way" to father the
peace process.

Arafat then went to the National
Press Club where he said that more
than 1 million Palestinians in Gaza
faced starvation.

“We are in need, at least. of loan
guarantees." he said.

At the same time. Arafat reaf-
firmed he intends to see a Palestin-
ian state established and to take
control of East Jerusalem, which
he described as occupied territory.

“We know there is a problem.
andwearenotgoingtoputour
heads in the sand." he said.

“No. We have to face all the
problems. If there is a win we
can find a way."

He said joint Palestinian-
Jordanian committees were already
working on a confederation of a
Palestinian state with the kingdom
headed by King Hussein.

On another issue. Arafat said he
would not use force against Hamas
and other Muslim radical groups to
compel them to abandon violence.

The problem, he said, would be
dealt with through “democracy"
within the PLO.

Robert E. Clark also showed a

prosecutors' request, defendant
Damian Williams rolled up his
sleeve and showed jurors a similar
tattoo in the same place.

Jurors, who were given copies

show his arm.

Clark. a photographer for 30
years, said he witnessed the attack
while taking pictures from a news
helicopter April 29, 1992. as riot-
ing empted after the aquittals of
four white police officers on state
charges in the beating of Rodney
King, who is black.

Clark said Watson placed his
foot on Denny's neck while the
u'ucker, who had been pulled from
his rig when he drove into the me-
lee, was on the ground. Clark said
Williams circled Denny and threw
a brick into the back of his head.

It was especially easy to identify
Williams. Clark said. “”Ihe defen-

dant looked straight up into the
camera and I looked suaight down
into his face," he said.

Broadcaster Robert Tur, who
also was in the helicopter. also has
testified that Williams and Watson
were the attackers.

Earlier yesterday, Tur showed
the jury photographs of a man
looting a liquor store about an
hour before Denny was beaten.
and said the man was Williams.

The defense claims their clients
are victims of mistaken identity.

Williams‘ attorney, Edi Faal,
said outside court that the man
seen looting the liquor store and
seen beating Denny had on a clean
white T-shirt. A man he says is ac-
tually Williams is seen on the vid-
eotape wearing a T-shirt with a
darkstain.

The prosecution has suggested
that Williams had sufficient time
togotohisnearbyhomeand

Congress,
US. media

By Mona Zlade
Associated Press

 

 

WASHINGTON — Pales-
tinian leader Yasser Arafat
wooed American support
through Congress and the
news media yesterday and
said differences with Israel
over Jerusalem could be re-
solved through good will and
negotiations.

“We know there is a prob-
lemandwearenotgoingto
put our heads inside the sand."
he said.

In an appearance at the Na-
tioml Press Club. Arafat con-
ceded that he and Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
have fundamentally different
positions on the biblical city.

Earlier, Arafat had breakfast
with senators and appealed to
them for loan guarantees. He
received a promise that US.
laws barring aid to the PLO
would be reviewed.

.1. “I know the Senate will not
give us money because of dif-
ficulties“ .but at least we are
in need of loan guarantees,"

t“ Arafat dismissed an Iranian
declaration that it would mo-

 

He said that two years ago
he told Iranian President Ha-
sherni Rafsanjani, “We are not
going to import any confusion
from any country."

He denied he supported Iraq
in the Persian Gulf War. say-
ing his goal was “to solve this
question within the Arab fami-
ly.” He said be early on called
fa withdrawal of Iraq from
Kuwait.

Arafat wm ebullient in his
Press Club appearance. draw-
ing repeated laughter from the
audience. When a questioner
asked “Who is your enemy
now?" Arafat turned to mod-
erator Clayton Boyce and
said. “You.”

Then laughing. be grasped
Boyce‘s hand and said. “Be-
aiuse he is quizzing me too
much with his questions."

In contrast to Monday's for-
mal ceremony in which he
spoke in Arabic, Arafat spoke
in English and discarded his
prepared speech. He said he
wanted to speak “from heart
to heart."

Refening to East Jerusalem
as “our Arab Jenisalem." he
said that United Nations reso-

EX-Byrds singer soaring
solo on wings of folk rock

 

By PhII Todd
Staff Writer

 

So far, audiences at the “un-
plugged" concert series held this
year in Lexington‘s Kentucky Thea-
ter have proved to be quite diverse
— including representatives of the
beat generation and aging hippies
(and their love children). Genera-
tion X types and even younger fans,
all enjoying the warm acoustics and
intimate setting of the renovated
historic landmark.

And. given the time frame of his
best-known work with the Byrds in
the latter half of the '603, folk-rock
artist Roger McGuinn probably will
encounter the same kind of mixed
audience tonight when he appears
at 8 pm. in the latest installment of
the Kentucky concert series.

That's fine with McGuinn — be-
cause that‘s exactly the kind of ec-
lectic audience he likes to see. he
said.

“This is the kind of crowd I
draw," he said, “including a lot of
fans of the Byrds and their kids."

This will be his first appearance
at the Kentucky, but McGuinn said
he remembers performing in Lex-
ington “a long time ago — probably
with the Byr

Most who recognize the name
McGuinn these days still identify
him in those terms — “with the
Byrds" —— though he was playing
long before and has continued to
create long after that group‘s day in
the sun.

And that, too. is just fine with
McGuinn. who plans to play the fa-
miliar hits. as well as some lesser-

known songs from his most recent
solo effort (1991) and brand-new,
unreleased material.

“I always do the songs people ex-
pect me to do," he said. “I don‘t
look at that as a burden — I enjoy
doing them."

Willi his twangy 12-stn'ng electric
guitar sound and high-pitched sing-
ing voice. McGuinn created the
foundation of the highly recogniza-
ble Byrds sound —— the sound that,
combined with the group's trade-
mark layered vocal harmonies, de-
fmed the '60s folk-rock genre.

Now. 20 years after the group re-
leased its 13th and last album. that
sound continues to influence popu-
lar musicians from R.E.M. to Tom
Petty.

McGuinn said he is “keeping an
eye" on the new acoustic folk-rock.

No maps to guide us,

On a one-way street,

I‘ve along way to go.

the techno-pop of the ‘805," he
said, “and I think a new generation
hasheardofthe‘bOsandwantedto
taste it for themselves — kind of
like rummaging through the attic."

McGuinn played guitar and ban-
jo with the Limelighters in Chimgo
in the late ‘505 before migrating to
Greenwich Village as a solo folk
artist. After work with several oth-
er artists, he t'ormed the Byrds in
the summer of 1964 with David
Crosby.

The Byrds (and McGuinn) may
best be remembered not only as in-
novators who helped define new
music. but also as among the most
successful interpreters of the music
of Bob Dylan besides Dylan him-
self.

McGuinn appeared in last year's
Dylan tribute, or “Bobfest,” in
New York's Madison Square Gar-
den.

“For me, it was wonderful to see
all these old friends backstage. and
then get to jam with them on
stage," he said.

“I think Dylan‘s writing has al-
ways been superlalive, both in lyri-
cal and melodic content,"
McGuinn said. “It's just great qual-
ity material."

The Byrds' first album, released
in 1965, included four Dylan tunes.
including “Mr. Tambourine Man.“

Today's continued interest in
folk music and folk artists doesn’t
surprise McGuinn. now 51. at all.

“This is not really ‘popular‘ mu-
sic," he said. “This is more artistic,
in the centuriesold art form of folk
music. This conveys stories, emo-
tions — this is not disposable mu-
src."
