° Library feeling effects

By BRIAN CARTER
Contributing Writer

Budget cuts that forced the can-
cellation of 1.000 journal subscrip—
tiom from the UK library system
have saved the University about
$120,000 —— but the cuts may have
affected more than just UK's bank-
book.

The decision to cancel the journal
subscriptions was made more than
two years ago. but because the sub-

scriptions ran until they expired, the
effects of such cuts are now coming
into focus.

“We are beginning to sense a real
difference in what we are able to do
here,” said Jim Birchfreld. the as-
sistant director of development for
UK's library system.

The decision to cut costs in jour-
nal subscriptions was based on an
increase in the prices that publishers
are demanding.

“We’ve seen approximately a 35

Committee to review
Food Services prices

By 5. DAVID BLAKE
Contributing Writer

Responding to more than 2,000
UK students who signed a petition
calling for Food Services to lower
its prices, the Student Govemment
Assocration last night passed a reso-
lution to reactivate a committee re-
sponsible for examining campus
food prices.

By unanimous vote, SGA formed
this year's University Housing and
Dining Committee to look into Food
Services’ July price increase. The
University committee is appointed
by SGA and UK administration eve-
ry year to handle housing and dining
complaints.

The committee will consist of
University administrators, Resi-
dence Hall Association representa—
tives and other UK students. and
will deliver its findings by the end
of the semester.

SGA requested the committee's
report by next month because “pric-
es are a big concern of students. and
something needs to be done to let
the students know what is going
on.” said Senator Christa Collins,

sponsor of the resolution.

Collins said SGA called for for-
mation of the committee instead of
asking for Food Services to cut its
prices —— a move pushed by stu—
dents who signed the petition two
weeks ago — in recognition of ad-
ditional sides to the issue.

“We don’t want to make any has-
ty demands right now. We want to
see the whole picture and talk to all
parties,” Collins said.

RHA officer Alan Corbett said
his organization strongly supports
the SGA action.

“We had an emergency meeting
of RHA to deal with the petition,
and out of the meeting came an ex-
pressed urgency to reactivate the
committee,” Corbett said. “Many
RHA members are willing to work
with the committee.”

The Housing and Dining Com-
mittee will investigate the issue
rather than RHA to include the
voices of off—campus students. said
Erica McDonald, RHA president.

SGA Vice President Sara Cour-
sey assured senators that the comit-
tee will include some commuter stu-
dents.

Leaders must care
for own business

Associated Press

The consensus at a conference
yesterday in Lexington on rural eco-
nomic development was that local
leaders are going to have to rely on
their own resources and not look so
much to state and federal govem-
ment.

“We have to take hold of our own
destiny and ask some fundamental
questions," US. Rep. Hal Rogers
told those gathered for the confer
ence, University and State Govem-
ment Responses to Rural Economic
Challenges in the 19905.

“Do we have an educated work-
force? Do we have a regional plan

culture?” Rogers, R-Sth District,
asked the more than 200 state and
local leaders.

The meeting was sponsored by
the UK College of Agriculture. the
UK Appalachian Center, Berea Col-
lege and Kentucky State University.

David Freshwater, a UK agricul—
tural economist. told the conferees
that the “rural renaissance of the late
19703 ended with the promise of ec-
onomic prosperity to rural commu-
nities unfulfilled.

“The business of business is
changing, and unless rural leaders

tice business to their communities,

percent increase in the price of jour-
nal subscriptions over the past three
years,” Birchfield said.

Paul Willis, director of libraries
for UK. pinned this large increase on
the continuing problem of the low
exchange rate for the US. dollar in
other countries.

“Approximately one-third of
UK’s journal subscriptions were
published in countries other than the
US, and we are just not realistically
able to pay the prices they are ask-

ing," Willis said.

Birchfield said further cuts in
subscriptions were avoided when
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Corp.
donated SI million to library fund-
tng.

But the cancellation of such a
large portion of the existing jour-
nals may cause UK to fall behind in
research and information availabili-
ty compared to similar universities
across the country.

The Association of Research Li-

cording to Birchfield, UK has stead~

Birchfield said. “Ten years ago, we

Laughter really is the best medi-
cine for college students with
problems. according to Mike Nich-
ols. director and psychologist at
the UK Counseling and Testing
Center.

“If you've laughed at it, you've
tamed it." said Nichols, with an
easy smile and a reassuring voice.

About 50 students surround him,
some sitting on old couches, others
lining the walls in chairs and still
others sitting on the lobby floor of
Keeneland residence hall. Every-
one watches Nichols wrth interest
despite the distractions of the voic-
es that ring out across the room
arid the comings and goings that
are typical of the busy lobby.

Nichols stresses the importance

 

of laughter and ”putting things tn
perspective“ by telling a story stu—
dents can relate to.

“I want to read you a letter that
the parents of a college student re-
ceived. Freshman. 'l'heir daughter.
First year in college. First letter
home," he says.

Nichols proceeds to read the let-
ter explaining the daughter’s first
college adventures, including a
hospital stay with a skull fracture
and a concussion. her residence
hall burning down. and living and
falling in love with a “sweet boy
who’s not terribly bright or edu—
cated or ambitious."

He pauses here, absorbing the
groans and giggles, then reads on.

The daughter plans to marry
soon, before her pregnancy shows
and after they attempt to pass the
blood test again.

College Board makes sweeping SAT changes

By TONY ROGERS
Associated Press

BOSTON — College Board trus-
tees announced the most sweeping
changes over in the Scholastic Apti-
ttrde Test, but rejected suggestions
that charges of cultural bias prompt-
ed the revisions yesterday.

The new Scholastic Aptitude Test,
called SAT-l, will be introduced in
the spring 1994. said College Board
President Donald M. Stewart.

It will include less reliance on
multiple choice in the math section
and more emphasis in the language
section on reading comprehension.

The revisions, aimed in pan at re-
ducing students‘ reliance on test
coaches. also will allow students to
use calculators on the math section,
Stewart said at the board‘s annual
meeting.

Critics have long charged that the
SAT — the most widely used col-

lege entrance exam was biased,
particularly against wotnen and mi-
norities.

“Nothing could be further from
the truth." Stewart said. “The SAT
has been in almost continual evolu-
tion. It has never been set in con-
crete.

“The new SAT will combine the
high, academically demanding stan-
dards of the current tests with revi-
sions that increase their educational
relevance and quality for all col-
lege-bound students."

The old SAT had 85 verbal and
60 math questions. The SAT-l will
have 75-85 verbal and 55-60 math
questions.

The changes Eilso include the in-
troduction of SAT-ll. an expansion
of the achievement tests currently
offered with the SAT.

SAT-II Wlll include a written es-
say scction, language proficiency
tests for native speakers of Japanese

and Chinese, and proficiency tests
for non-native English speakers.

Bob Schaeffer, a spokesman for
the group FairTest and co-author of
the book “Standing up to the SAT,“
said the changes fail to solve the
problem of the test‘s bias.

“The new SAT amounts to little
more than rearranging the deck
chairs on an educational Titanic,"
Schaeffer said. The SAT should be
optional. and it should be compre-
hensively overhauled to address its
problems."

FairTcst and other critics have
claimed that the SAT tends to cover
subjects that white male and afflu-
cnt test-takers are more likely to be
familiar with.

Oil-cited examples tn the test in~
cludc the question “Dmdends arc to
stockholders as wrth the answer
being “royalties are to writers," and
the use of words such as “regatta“
and “aria" tn the vocabulary sec-

tion.

Whites as .I group have outper-
formed mtnortty students, and males
have fared better than females.

In 1988. the National Organiza-
tion for Women tiled a lawsuit that
forced the New York State Educa-
tion Department to stop using the
SAT exclusively to award merit
scholarships.

The department now uses high
school grades as well.

The SAT, administered by the Ed-
ucational Testing Service of Pnncc-
ton, t'J.. was first given to 8,040
students in l926. Now about 1 mil-
lion collegebiund students take it
mutually.

The 2 l/Z—hour exam currently
consists of two multiple-choice sec-
tions that test verbal and math skills.
Each section is worth 800 potnls, for

, Updike retires ‘Rabbit’

By l-lLLEL ITALIE
Associated Press

When John Updike finished
“Rabbit at Rest," he took a large
pile of newspapers used for re-
search and threw them away.

Enough ww enough. The author
wanted to finish this book and for-
get about Harry "Rabbit" Ang-
strom. This “ordinary" man from
Brewer, Pa., a speedy basketball
star in high school who lags pain-
fully behind the adult world, had
haunted Updike for 30 years.

The books were increasingly dif-
ficult to write, burdened with telling
new readers about old events and
providing new events for old read-
ers. After four novels it was time to
leave Rabbit behind, at rest.

“As I was writing it I was fully
aware not only of trying to make
some sense to readers who hadn‘t
read the others, but of trying to
round out the series," Updike, 58,
explained in an interview at the
Manhattan offices of Alfred A.
Knopf publishers.

“There comes a time when
you've used up your life, if your
life is allowed to run its natural
course. He’s reached it a little earli-
er than many of us, and a little earli-
er then 1 hope to myself. He‘s had
enough of the world.“

The Rabbit books began in 1960
with “Rabbit, Run." Harry _. nick-
named “Rabbit” but increasingly
known as just Harry — is in his late
205 and going downhill. He’s stuck
in a dead-end town, out of shape,
bored with his job, bored with his
marriage. While his wife is preg-
nant, Rabbit runs — away.

“The last quarter of a basketball
game used to carry him into this
world," Updike writes in “Rabbit.

Follow the Cats in the Kernel

Run," as Harry takes to the road and
drives south. “You ran not as the
crowd thought for the sake of the
score but for yourself, in a kind of
idleness."

The 19605 confuse Harry, the
'708 depress him and the '808 finish
him off. He returns for three more
books. published 10 years apart, his
marriage to Janice Springer surviv-
ing while his relationship with his
son, Nelson, is deteriorating.

In “Rabbit Redux" (1971), the as-
tronauts are walking on the moon
and Harry is crawling on Earth.
When Janice leaves for another
man, Harry shacks up with his son.
a teen-age runaway called Jill and a
radical named Skeeter.

“My earliest sociological thought
about myself had been that I was
fortunate to be a b0y and an Ameri-
can." Updike wrote in his essay “On
Not Being a Dove.”

Harry is no longer so lucky. The
clean-cut kid from Brewer West
High is suddenly in a world of
drugs, Vietnam and “The Life and
Times of Frederick Douglass." Rab
bit, the man with all the inside
moves, is on the outside in his own
home, on the run.

“Harry, to some extent, belongs
to the status quo, doesn’t he?" Up-
dike said. “He's a white male.
which had been the good thing to be
in this country. Not only were wom-
en saying men were brutes, kids
were saying it The whole country
seems to be run by brutes.”

“Rabbit Is Rich" (1981), for
which Updike won the Pulitzer
Prize, finds the Angstroms selling
cars to a nation running out of gas.
Janice’s father has died, leaving be-
hind a thriving business, but Harry
is as unsettled as ever. He lusts for
the wife of one of his country club

friends and fights with Nelson, who
marries and becomes a father.

What does the gruff, uptight Har-
ry have in common with the pol-
ished, cerebral Updike? How do
you compare a man living off the
income of his late father-in-law’s
auto dealership with a Pulitzer
Prize-winning author?

They're hardly soul mates, but
Updike admits he envics Harry
(still Rabbit in the author's eyes).
He likes the idea of a life without
book reviews and tape recorders.
There’s a purity to Rabbit, a sim-
plicity, his thinking as old-
fashioned and easy to understand as
a two-handed set shot in basketball.

“To create a basketme hero and
try to get inside his head was a sort
of wish-fulfillment," Updike re-
called. “I was self-conscious, shy,
not good enough. But I went to a lot
of basketball games because my fa-
ther was a teacher and one of his
duties was to go to the games and
sell tickets. I watched a lot of bas-
ketball and felt envy, admiration."

They share other qualities, ner-
vous energy (Updike fiddles with a
stack of “Rabbit at Rest” books
throughout the interview), and diffi-
culties speaking. Both are stutter-
ers: Updike literally, Harry spiritu-
ally, a man whose tongue is tied by
a limited education and feelings of
guilt about his family.

“When you feel guilty you stut-
ter," said Updike, who lives in Mas-
sachusetts and has four children.
“Around my own children I stutter,
although now less and less. I stutter
less, but I don’t know if it's a mat-
ter of overcoming the difficulty or
whether I’ve become less sensitive.
When you stutter you have the feel-
ing of being watched from many
angles at once."

“Rabbit at Rest” (Knopf, $21.95)
is a book of goodbyes. Retirees in
Florida. President Reagan in Wash-
ington. In baseball, there‘s Philadel-
phia star Mike Schmidt’s sudden,
but graceful retirement in the mid-
dle of the 1989 season and Pete
Rose’s banishment, for gambling, a
few months later.

Harry must leave as well. Now
suffering from heart problems, he
finally goes too far, committing an
infidelity too great for himself or
his family to endure. With Janice
demanding an explanation, Harry
again feels trapped, out of space, in

need of escaping.

“Where life immures, the intelli-
gence cuts a way Out," Marcel
Proust wrote. With 100 pages to
go, Updike sets Rabbit free, back
on the highway, as alone with his
droughts as the author hunched
over his typewriter, moving with
the precision and single-
mindedness of fingers tapping the
keys.

“It was not easy to write because
I‘m not good at parting,” Updike
explained. “But as I really ap-
proached the end and he was alone
again, away from all those people,
I felt better. I felt kind of cleansed.
I felt scoured.”

UK women’s golf team earns top national ranking

By JEFF DRUWOND
Staff Writer

Looking for a top-ranked UK
team in the national polls?

Then look no further than the
Lady Kats golf team, which has
earned its first No. 1 ranking in the
history of the women's program at
UK.

As published in the latest issue of
GOLFWEEK magazine. UK moved
up one spot to claim the top position
in the Taylor Made Women’s Na-
tional Collegiate Rankings.

“I was a little bit shocked,” Lady
Kats coach Bettie Lou Evans said.
“Somebody called me and asked if 1
had seen the new GOLFWEEK —
that we’d been ranked No. l in the
nation. I was like. no, you’ve got to

be kidding."

The caller was not kidding.

On the strength of an eighth-place
finish among a tough field at the
Lady Buckeye Invitational Oct. 5-7
and a first-place victory in its own
Lady Kats Invitational Tournament
Oct. 11-13, UK moved past previ-
ously top-ranked New Mexico State.

“It’s definitely a strange feeling
(to be ranked No. 1)," Evans said. “I
don’t really know how to react. You
want to get excited, but you don't
want to change the way you worked
to achieve the ranking.

“I honestly think we're one of the
top five teams in the country. No. l
is debatable. There are a couple of
schools in the west —— San Jose
State and Arizona — that I think
may be better than us on a given

day. But I really feel we have the
best team in the east."

The ranking was the highest the
Lady Kats have advanced in the
polls since reaching the No. 4 posi-
tion in 1985. It also marked the first
time since 1988 that any UK athletic
team has reached the No. 1 spot in
the country. The women’s cross
country squad was the last team to
receive the honor on their way to the
1988 national championship.

Evans said that she is excited and
pleased with the team's perfor-
mance as the fall season winds
down. The Lady Kats will take their
No. l ranking into their final touma-
merit of the fall season in late No-
vember.

“At the beginning of the season, I
felt we had the best team we‘ve had

since 1985," Evans said. “I think
we're realizing that now.

“The depth on this team is its
strength," she added. "Anyone on
our team can go out and shoot a 75
on a given day. This is an extremely
well-balanced team, and I think that
helped us earn the ranking."

The Lady Kats have finished ei-
ther first or second in four of its five
tournaments and are led by presea-
son All-American candidates Tonya
Gill and Jayne Lohr.

Dolores Nava, Lisa Weismueller,
and Chris Miller have also played
important roles in the Kats’ strong
fall season.

The men’s golf team hasn’t en-

joyed the same success as the Lady
Kats. However, the squad did cap~
ture its first tournament champion-
ship last weekend in the Kentucky
Intercollegiate at the Champions
Golf Club in Lexington.

The Cats won the daylight-
shortened, 27-hole tournament with
a final score of 444, 11 strokes
ahead of runner-up Western Ken-
tucky University.

The tourney featured the six ma-
jor Kentucky universities —— UK.
Louisville, Western, Eastern, Mur-
ray State, and Morehead State.

Robbie Davis, a junior and the
Cats' top-rated golfer, won the tour~
ney with a l-under-par 107. Davis
shot even par 72 in the first 18 holes
and a l—under-par 35 in the final
nine holes.

“Robbie played really well," UK
men’s coach Tom Simpson said. “In
fact, the whole team really came
through for us. At the end of 18
holes we were four strokes behind.
and I told the guys to just relax and
have fun. We ended up having two
guys shoot 35 and two shoot even
(36)."

UK's Alan Horowitz, along with
Davis, fired a 35 on the final nine
holes. Chris Liner and Andrew Price
both shot 36 on the winning stretch
to help lead the Cats to victory.

“We're coming along just as I an-
ticipated," Simpson said. “We've
tried several different (lineup) com-
binations and I think we've got it
narrowed down to the six or seven
guys that are going to help us the
rest of the year."

Reds, Pitino to play in Mid-Morning Madness

By BOBBY KING
Assistant Sports Editor

Just when the World Champion
Cincinnati Reds thought there were
no mountains left to be conquered,
they find one more challenge awaits
them.

Several members of 1990’s ver-
sion of the Big Red Machine will
battle UK basketball coach Rick Pit-
ino and the members of his coach—
ing staff in a charity basketball
game.

Mid-Moming Madness, as it has
been dubbed, will be held Saturday.
November 17. at 9:30 am. The
game, which will benefit the New-
man Center, will be immediately
followed by a UK blue-white scrim-
mage game.

Starting pitcher Tom Browning is
organizing the Reds’ team. which
also will include former Red Doug
Flynn and former UK basketball
player Jim Master.

No other Reds have committed to
play as of yet, according to Rev.
Dan Noll of the Newman Center,
but All-Star shortstop Barry Larkin
may make an appearance.

"That's not out of the realm of
possibility," Noll said. “He‘s a Cin—

“This game was set up with the Reds in early April,
before anybody thought they would be the World
Champion Reds. I began praying for them at that time
and you see the results of the power of prayer. I don’t
know if I can shut it off now. They may be on a roll.”

cinnati guy so he would be at the
top of the list of folks we think we
can get."

The money raised will be used to
benefit the Newman Center‘s Dis-
tinguished Speakers Program and its
Community Matching Grants Pro-
gram, which provides grants to pub-
lic service agencies for educational
purposes.

Noll, who wore a Reds’ baseball
cap and a Kentucky sweatshirt over
his Roman collar, said the other
players participating in the event
would be named soon.

“Tom (Browning) is getting some
of the Reds together, and we hope to
be able to announce their names real
soon," Noll said.

“But he has guaranteed us we’re
going to get three to five Reds’
players to form the nucleus of this
team that will put up a good battle
with the coaching staff."

Despite the worthiness of the
cause, Pitino said his team is taking
the game seriously.

“On behalf of the coaches, we’re
here to win," said Pitino to a roar of
laughter from the crowd assembled
at yesterday‘s new conference.

“We think the only championship
the Reds need to win is the baseball
one," he said. “It‘s not charity.
We’re out to win."

After making his team’s objec-
tives clear, Pitino gave the real rea-
son as to why he was so willing to

“This is a great thing for us be-
cause we are helping the Newman
Center. And, as a Catholic person
myself, along with Billy Donovan
and Herb Sendek, this is important
to us because the Newman Center is
very important to the community as
well as the University of Kentucky.”

Noll, who hopes the Newman
Center will be able to raise $40,000
from the event, said there already
has been considerable interest from
the public.

“We‘re real glad to have this
event. We’ve had some preliminary
ticket sales here and it‘s real encour-
aging. There certainly is a whole lot
of excitement going on about the
event."

Noll said the Newman Center
wasn‘t just jumping on the Reds
bandwagon when it tried to get the
team to participate in the event.
