Literature canons exclude parts of culture, critics charge

By ALLEN D. GREER
Senior Staff Writer

Traditional literary canons, often used to
determine the content of .‘ollege literature
classes, promote a white, male—dominated
society and discriminate against authors
that are female, non-white or non-western,
author Lillian Robinson said Friday.

”The female, black, working-class. or
homosexual experience is uncritically as-
sumed to be an unlikely candidate for ca-
nonization because it is the mocked var-
iant, whereas the experience of white man
has unique claims to universality,“ said Ro-
binson, author of Sex, Class and Culture.

“Some people say that Shakespeare is so
universal that we don't need the other

lisli," Robinson said.

Lawrence Lipking, ati editor of Norton Ari-

Handicapped students, faculty and staff will have better access to re-
search materials without visiting the library through a new service offered
by UK.

The service, which is open to permanently and temporarily handicapped
patrons of University libraries. was established to eliminate some library
access problems. said Carla Cantagallo. coordinator for handicapped ser-
vices in the Margaret 1. King Reference Department.

Library users registered with the Office of Handicapped Student Servic-
es, which is located in the Student Center, or who have a disability, may
request material at any library service desk by calling. using a facsimile
machine or visiting the library.

Materials are located and delivered through campus or L15. mail within
48 hours. Cantagailo said.

There is no charge for circulating items. Copies of non-circulating items
cost the same as photocopying anti microfilm services.

“We wanted the disabled user to be abie to use the same things that eve-
ryone else can here." Cantagallo said. “Our key is to find as many ways as
possible to make the technology and knowledge here in the library access-
ible."

Catherine Bembower, a nursing graduate student and a Donovan Schol-
ar with rheumatoid arthritis, said she finds it difficult climbing stairs,
reaching and bending to get books. Standing to wait for copying machines
also is difficult, she said.

“I use a lot of energy that I could be using otherwise." chbower said.
“It’s been a real help to do my work. l_itist think it‘s tremendous."

Pam Wallace, an English Junior who is visually impaired, said that past
visits to the library were hassles because she had to either rely on other
students to get materials or go by herself.

The service “makes all of the difference tn the world.“ she said.

WILT

By JENNIFER RUSSELL
Staff Writer

The Kentucky Humanities (’oiin~
cil has teamed tip with scholars
across the state aiid l'K Press to
produce a series of books for new
adult readers.

The project is the first colleciiye
effort to produce books for adults
who are learning to read. said Vir—

ginia Smith, executive director of

the Kentucky Humanities Council.

Previously, the books were limii«
ed to children‘s literature. wlttch is
of little interest to most adult read<
ers, Smith said.

“The mission of the Kentucky
Humanities Council is to provide
the public with educational oppor-
tunities in the humanities essential-

ly by bringing w fiat is .iyailable at
the universities to offlcanipus or-
ganizations," Smith said. “l‘he ell
fort was to bring to new readers
something that was quality in the
humanities and to fill a need that
was not being met nor could it be
met by any other organt/tition."

in the past few books were il\;lliv
able to new adult readers because
no organi/alion had the ability pro
duce the books. Smith said.

“We have been working with
scholars for years who agree to
share their expertise with non-
acadcmic audiences." Smith said.
“There is no other organi/ation in
the state that has that ability to
make the translation frotn one
place, the academic world. to the
public."

individual authors have pub
lished books for new readers before
btit “they are not of the educational
quality of the books that we offer."
Smith said.

The educational books for new
adult readers are iii great demand
because of the the high adult illiter
acy rate in Kentucky. Smith said. A
national demand for the books also
has (feveloped, Smith said,

The program was started with
the application for a grant to ftiiid
the program. The council. which
has produced five books. received
$53,000 in grant money froin The
National Endowment for the flu-
manities.

“That covered the deycloptncnt.
the writing, the distribution. and the

testing of this. of the book
Smith said.

Sertppsiloxyard Newspapers
funded the other i so books.

“Not otily were these books to be
written and pinned and distributed.
but also made a\.iil.ible to tutors
who are currently working with
readers." Smith said.

.-\uthors consulted literacy ev
pcrts and meet with adults in dis-
cussion sessions for their opinions
about the books.

Authors met w ilh adults after the
books are published to get more
feedback about the books‘ quality.
The books are rewritten until they
fit their audiences needs.

Vitale makes
NCAA worth
watching, baby

 

C.A. Duane
BONWER

L

The NCAA Basketball Tourna-
ment has finally gotten down to four
teams as major league baseball gets
ready for the spring.

For a moment, it appeared that
CBS-TV might have to tclevise a bi—
nal Four that included the University
of Connecticut, XaVier University,
Ball State University and the Univer-
sity of Minnesota — not exactly
what advertisers had in mind.

l’m not a particularly avid fan of
college basketball. While it’s a fun
sport to watch, it‘s more like some-
thing to fill your time between Octo-
ber and April.

The NCAA Tournament, however,
is a little different. To me, it's less
of a sporting event and more like a
showcase of how usually normal
people can be persuaded to wear half
a basketball on their heads or paint
their face like an Indian ready to at-
tack Gen. Custer.

Next year‘s NCAA l'ournaiiieiit
probably won‘t be nearly as exciting,
no matter how many miles David
slays Goliath.

CBS paid more than $1 billion tor
the rights to televise all six rounds
oi next year‘s tourney, which means
that we will get to see about half as
many games that were shown this
March.

For the first round this year,
ESPN showed 41 hours of college
hoops over a 47-hour period. it was
madness. baby. And it wouldn't have
been half as enjoyable without color—
fttl commentator Dick “Chrome
Dome" Vitale.

The first time l heard Vitale call a
game for ESPN he said that shooting
long-range jumpers for one player
was easier than “drinking coffee in
the morning." l'in not sure what that
means for people who have ulcers or
a heart condition, btit since then 1
can't imagine college hoops without
Vitale. Actually, i can.

During CBS‘ coverage of the
“Road to Denver". Mike Francesa
ltas provided his wonderful insights
into the world of college hoops.
Francesa may know his sport. btit he
has been careful not to let Viewers
know that.

in all fairness to Francesa, he
probably would make a line com-
mentator on Public Television‘s
“Mystery" or as Peter Allen‘s side—
kick for live performances of the
New York Metropolitan Opera.

Vitale, unlike Francesa, is never
afraid to let viewers know his opin~
ion, no matter how silly it usually
is. He talks about every player and
coach like he has followed them
since sandlot hoops, which he proba-
bly has. And he has some of the best
awards for the participants, like his
All-Cry Baby Team, Rolls Royce
Team and Prime Time Team.

But the best Vitale bit is when he
delivers his “Vitale Fast Break"
two minutes oi verbal bombardment
in which he gives his optriioii about
the tourney.

In an age when a rabbit sells bat-
teries, the segment is a case and
point on how sports has become a
sensationali/ed part of our culture.

ESPN itself contributes to the
feeling of spectacle when it cuts
front game to game on the first day
of the toiii'naitient.

Viewers rarely saw more than six
conseciitiye live minutes of a game
before John Saunders or Chris l-‘ow'l-
er broke in to give us another game
that a producer thought was more ex-
citing than the one l had been watch-
ing.

The viewer has not had nearly
enough preparation to appreciate
what is going on in the new game,
which is probably why the first
round of the NCAA 'l'ournament was
such a mental strain on me.

But after each game. Vitale always
was there, ready to stand on his head
if Princeton won a game.

ESPN will show more than l()()
baseball games this year, btit it
hasn‘t announced any plans to let Vi-
tale call any of them, His rapid~fire
delivery is fine for the other sports.
but letting him call the game of the
week would not be unlike letting a
heathen into St. Patrick‘s Cathedral.

Lady Kats Win first NWIT championship

By GREGORY A. HALL
Staff Writer

While many watched the NCAA tournament this
weekend, the lady Kats made a national presence oi
their own iii Amarillo, 'l'cyas.

The UK women‘s basketball team came away
with the title in the National Women's lnyilational
Tournament Saturday night.

At the conclusion of their 857/6 championship
game victory over the lTniversity of Toledo. lady
Kat coach Sharon Fanning told her squad, “lion't
forget how this feels."

When asked to compare this team with last years
12-16 squad, banning said, "We‘re not ititikllit'
back."

After the lack of team unity last year. the, champ:-
onship brings a feeling that banning said she would
not like to forget either.

At the beginning of the season, the Lady Kats set
a number of goals, of which included landing a bid
to the NCAA Tournament. (.‘otisidering that the
Lady Kats finished four games urtder .500 last sea-
son, the third-year coach was happy to see her team
finish the season 2344.

“This team is so different from last year‘s team."
UK senior Vanessa Foster-Sutton said. “Everybody
likes each other. We had a lot more support this
vear.’

majority ol the .ioals w c set this sc‘;isiit1. \\c'tc not
finished yet Yoii'yc just got to keep workiiiJ,”

This was the lust team since 1‘”? Si to win .‘li
carries and the sixth lady Kat team to ‘.\lll 3;
games it was the first time the lady Kats won the

"We‘re still itot w here we want to be.”

The lady Kats defeated the lfniyersity oi \laiiie
arid Miami l niyersity en route to the \Wll title

Against Miami, who IIK downed 80771 earlier iii

can State tournament," banning said. l K also laced
an tinreceptive crowd in Amarillo, according to
many Lady Kats. w hich tired them tip cyeti more tor

The relatiyely calm Lady Kats bench came aliyc as
the crowd started pulling tor the three-point shooting

edge ot its chairs, slapping the tloor arid revelling in
their success ot a ll-poiitt second half comeback.

“We were more tired tip and tnore together than
