Quake kills up to 1,000 people in Soviet Union

By JOHN-THUR DAHLBl'RG
Associated Press

M()S(‘()W A predawn earthquake in
Soviet ('entral Asia unleashed a Sortoot
high wall of dirt and mud that buried a
mountain village and swept through at
least two others yesterday. killing up to
1000 people as they slept. officials said.

The devastating earthquake in the
republic of Tadzhikistan was the second to
strike the Soviet Union in two months

“Almost everybody died.” Zamiddin
Nasreddinov. editor-in chief of
Tadzhikistan‘s official news agency. said
by telephone after visiting the wrecked
farming settlement of Sharora, He (‘Stl'
mated the number of dead there alone at
600.

Sharora “had more than 150 peasant
households before that tragic moment.‘
the Soviet news agency Tass reported.
“Now most of it is razed to the ground by
the ruthless force of the natural calamity,"

Tass said the number of dead in the di-
saster zone 1,800 miles southeast of Mose

cow was estimated at 1,000. but cautioned
that was a preliminary figure

"Rescue work is being continued and
distant mountain villages haye not been
checked yet." Tass said. Damaged roads
were hampering those efforts

The quake struck the southwestern part
of Tadzhikistan. a Soviet republic of more
than «la million people that borders v\i

The ill-second tremor. at 3:02 .i m 602
p in EST Sunday! was centered about ‘30
to :to miles southwest of 'l‘adlhikislan's
capital of Dushanbe. a city of more than
460.000 people in the fertile (lissar district.
a center of grapegrowing and livestock~
raising. Tass said.

An offic1al at Dushanbe‘s seismic center
said the quake was strong enough to knock
things off shelves in tall apartment build-
ings in the city. but that it caused no
known damage or injuries there He do
clined to give his name.

The IVS. Geological Survey in Boston.
Va. estimated the quake at 34 on the
Richter scale. which measures ground

motion as recorded on a seismograpb the
Dec 7 earthquake in northwestern
Armenia 1000 miles west of Dushanbe.

category. The very term hard rock conjures up
images of long hair, bell bottoms, Styx,
Journey, or early Foreigner.

to be the father of radio, Tesla was

Slipshod sound and performance
marred Friday’s Ramones concert

By non si-zxo
Arts Editor

For a while at the Ramones con-
cert Friday night, I was overcome
by a feeling of deja-vu.

It wasn't a remembrance of the
hardedged performance that the
group gave at Bogarts in (‘incin
nati four months ago that showed
why they have survived the punk
revolution and are still a Vital force
in today's music scene.

Instead. I felt like I was
watching the concert in the Student
Center Ballroom because the sound
was so had. Unlike, the poor
acoustics of the Ballroom, though
the muddy sound wasn't due to
Rhinestones.

Instead. the crowd was yictini
ized by a sound mixer who had the
same attitude that The Ramones
themselves seemed to have tor

Our attitudes about

acquaintance rape
must be changed

You may have heard about it once or twice.

A friend confides that her boyfriend was rather forceful
with her last night. Ur you overhear someone boasting
"convinced” his girlfriend to have sex with

about how be
him last week

But you don't really give it a second‘s thought. After all.
the man is supposed to be the aggressor in a relationship.
and it the woman doesn‘t waitt to have sex. it's up to her to

control the relationship.

lt's precisely this kind of prevaletit attitude. however.
that has made acquaintance rape a common occurance
and significant problem in our society. Most people don‘t
recognize that it is a violent crime instead of a simple mis—

communication between friends.

How can it be rape if the two people know each other?
Any forced sexual contact or intercourse is rape.

I‘Iasy
whether it's by a stranger or a friend.

With acquaintance rape in particular. the violation of
and disregard for the trust in the
i cause the victim a great deal of emotional

the woman's body
relationship ca:
trauma

And society 's tendency to downplay acquaintance rape
only makes the trauma worse for the victim and makes it

more likely that date rape will continue to occur.

That is why acquaintance rape isn‘t just a problem that
the victim has to overcome. If is society‘s problem. our

problem. and we must take steps to overcome it.

There are many societal myths that contribute to the
commonness of acquaintance rape. according to counselors
who deal \\'l'.l‘i the subject Men grow up believing that it‘s
all right to be aggressive with women. that women like it
that way They feel like they need to “score" to express
We all know the common phrase "Boys

their tiiasculinity
will be boys

Women are taught that assertiveness is unfeminine. or
they may feel like they “owe” their dates sex after a night
out. or out of "love ” They think that they‘re responsible
for the relationship. and if it gets out of hand. then it's

their fault

But the fact is that women don‘t want
forced on them. regardless if it‘s by someone they know.
It 's never what they ask for or enjoy,

The fact is that. a man never has the right to rape a
woman. even if he spends money on her. she is drunk at

the time. she dresses seductively. or she leads him on and

then changes her mind

The fact is that acquaintance rape occurs against the

victim‘s will It is neverthe victims fault

The fact is that when a woman says "no" she doesn't
mean “maybe " And even if she says "no" just once. it‘s
enough

And perhaps if acquaintance rape begins to be recog
nized for the crime it is. victims may not feel so guilty or
ashamed as they often feel. Victims need to know they will
receive emotional support, not criticism. if they talk about
being raped We need to stigmatize the rape itself. not the
victim

['K counselors and officials say that acquaintance rape
occurs much more often at [‘K than is reported. It is our
problem. but with more respect and communication in
relationships and a simple change of attitude. it should be
something together we can change

A call to care

Bush’s speech showed political reality, social responsibility

inauguration speeches. much like
overtures to an opera. are meant to
inspire a particular theme a presi-
dent hopes will permeate his ad-
ministration

Franklin Roosevelt's request of
Americans to toughen up during
the Great Depression Warren Har
ding s call for a return to "normal-
cy and John F Kennedy‘s
challenge of a "New Frontier" all
indicated an attitude each [)H‘Sl'

Rush proclaimed that “A new
breeze is blowing . and a nation
refreshed by freedom stands ready
to push on " And so began the 41st
presidential administration

While Bush s brief speech to the
nation certainly was not delivered
with the grace of a great orator, it
did have a refreshing ring to it that
Americans should find comforting

Bush. who we are now told by his
closest aides is really not a Reagan
conservatiy e but a pragmatist who
leans to the right. apparently un
derstands what is ahead of him
during the next four years: a Dem-
ocratcontrolled Congress. 51 3 ml-
lion fiscal deficit a new attitude.
however naive it may be. toward

were several areas that haye either

was any indication. l’riish finally
has realized tlia’

Bush‘s speech also revealed the
keen sense of political reality

Nowhere in his 20-minute address
to the nation did he pretend to have
a referendum to change govern
ment as Reagan correctly did eight
years earlier. Bush s speech
sounded more like a Washington

litical games of the beltway

negotiations on (‘apitol Hill with an
advantage

What was most refreshing about
Bush's speech. however. was a
renouncement of materialism and
a call for a “new engagement in
the lives of others a new activ
ism. hands‘on and involved. that
gets tliejobdoiie "

Without directly condemning the
man who got him elected presir
dent Bush lashed otit at art entire
generation that has been too
worried with its own petty lives
and not concerned enough about
the world it lives in

Bush told parents they must not

Walk down the halls of the Business &
Economics Building. White Hall Classroom
Building or Student Center at UK and you will
encounter some very self-centered and sad

individuals.

Bush has demonstrated that lie un
derstands the only way he will get
things done is through the art of
compromise and the skill of mag
matism

Although scattered with a few
ideological conservatives. Bush's
cabinet is largely filled with men
and women who are in the habit of
bargaining to get what they want

And that is why Bush‘s jesture to
Speaker of the House .lini Wright
and House and Senate majority
leaders Tom Foley and George
Mitchell was an act of political
brilliance perhaps it was his
first

By forcing Congressional leaders
to not only talk btit act humane
which few of them will find rather

sense of what it means to be a
loyal friend. a loving parent. a citr
izen who leaves his home. his
neighborhotxl and town better than

That sense of social commitment
and responsibility to one's commu~
iiity is not unusual for Bush Born
into a truly wealthy family. Bush
was brought up with the idea that
citizens not only live in a nation
and receive from it. but also must
give back to it.

lt is a belief that government and
civic leaders have the
responsibility to do their job. but
also to set examples of high ethical
standards

It is rather ironic that Bush
appealed to the nation for a re»
newed sense of social responsibili-

ty. especially since so much of his
support came from sellcenfered
voters who are indifferent about
what happens to others

One particular pocket of Bush
support. college students. would do
especially well to heed the advice
of their nation's leader

Walk down the halls of the Htisi
ness & l‘Icoiioiiiics Building. White
Hall t‘lassrooiii Building or student
(‘enier at ['K and you will eiicoun

for some very self-centered and
sad individuals

While no one is asking or
wants students to begin

marching on :idiiiinistratioii biitld
ings and tearing down \merican
flags. it would be nice if students
on this campus felt a littli- respoii
sibility to contribute to the commu
nity in whichthey ll\t‘

It is understandablc that young
people are worried about their
future We live in a world that is
increasingly competitive and every
little advantage one can get oi add
to one's resume is impei tant

But it is important to draw the
line and remember the social re
sponsibility one has to one's com
munity and neighbors

Not all presidential inaugural ad
dresses have succeeded in setting a
the country ‘s mood

Abraham Lincoln asked a nation
that was recovering from the
bitterness of a (‘ivil Vlar to have
“malice toward none. with charity
for all.” but the next 3o years were
some of the ugliest in the nation's
history

Hopefully. this nation. especially
its youth. heard the call of George
Bush if it was not busy doing
something else and will become
less myopic and more conscious of
its world
