Axwriated Prm

FRANKFORT, Ky. — The
Council on Higher Education yes—
terday failed to settle a dispute
between two universities about
who should train engineers in the
Paducah area.

Instead, the council re-engi-
neered the issue.

UK and Murray State Univer-
sity were told to ﬁnd ways to
cooperatively offer multiple pro-

es, in McCracken County.

At the same time, the council
voted to reject the proposal that
triggered the bitter dispute
between Paducah and Murray —
UK’s plan to team with Paducah
Community College to offer
bachelor’s degrees in chemical and
mechanical engineering.

A regional center that UK and
Murray State could use for engi—
neering education and other pro-
grams was one option in a consul-
tant’s study for the council last

month.

The university presidents —
Charles \Vethington of UK and
Kern Alexander of Murray State
— said they expected to reach a
resolution.

They apparently will have a
month. The council, which exists
in part to recommend a budget for
higher education, is to meet Nov.
13 to set a funding target for the
next two years.

munity college. It was viewed in
Murray, 40 miles south, as an
attempt to create a four-year col-
lege in Paducah.

UK estimated it could produce
60 to 80 engineering graduates a
year. But the council is unlikely to
approve a program on that scale,
Chairman James Miller of Owens—
boro said after the meeting.

Instead, the council wants
greater cooperation between the
two cities and an “increased pres—

ence” for Murray State in
McCracken County, Miller said.

Apparently alluding to UK,
Miller said the council expects
increased educational offerings to
be as efﬁcient as possible. “And we
don’t think that can be done by
excluding Murray,” he said.

As for a consortium of UK,
Murray State and the community
college, Miller said “the mix is up
to the parties to propose,” and the
council would judge it on merits.

llll scholars
studying PSAs

By Jacob Clabes

Executive Editor

Can people just say “no?” That‘s what four UK
researchers have been asking in their study about the
effects of public service announcements directed at
those likely to use drugs.

Lewis Donohew, professor of communications
and senior research scholar in the University's Cenr
ter for Prevention Research; Philip I’almgreen, pro—
fessor of communications; Rick Hoyle. associate pro-
fessor of psychology; and Elizabeth Lorch, professor
of psychology; announced the results of their Ill-year
study at a news conference held yesterday in Patter-
son Ofﬁce Tower.

“What we are doing overall,” said Donohew, “is
trying to build a selence of communication and pre-
vention based on the persuasion process.”

The ﬁrst segment of the study, which targeted an
18-to-25-year—old age group, found that “sensation
seeking,” the amount of stimulation that a certain
personality desires, is related to drug use.

The public service announcements directed at
high-sensation seekers also attracted the attention of
low-sensation seekers. The results showed that pub-
lic service announcements directed at high-sensation
seekers are necessary to affect the majority ofview-
ers.

The next segment of the study will direct mes-
sages to adolescents, focusing on the direct effects of
the announcements and the processes involved

The team has received a $1.7 million grant from
the National Institute on Drug Abuse to continue for
an additional four years their study of the influence
that public service announcements have on people
who at high risk for drug use.

“The idea is to get these eople into other activi-
ties other than drug use,” Palingreen said.

The new study will involve a campaign that will

place anti-drug public service announcements in
Lexington and Knoxville, Tenn, which were chosen
for their similarities. The announcements will target
students in grades eight through 1 1 for a four—month
period beginning inJanuary 199.7.

The researchers will conduct one—on—one inter—
views with 3,200 adolescents from both cities. They
will monitor the protective and risk factors, attitudes
and behaviors common among drug users while
focusing on sensation seeking.

“If we can reduce the number of sensation seekers
who et into the drug abuse pipeline, we will have
significantly reduced the number of young adults

that are at risk for both drug abuse and AIDS,”
Donohew said.

The study also will examine the effectiveness of
televised public service announcements. Palmgreen
said that attitudes about drug use have become more

ositive among adolescents and there have never
Eeen messa es directed at them.

“There lias never been an anti-drug PSA cam-
paign like ours that’s directed at the 13-17 age group
ofhigh sensation seekers,” he said.

Since the project began in 1985, NIDA has donat—
ed more than $4.5 million to UK faculty members
for this project.

Plus/minus
grading is
tabled again

By Jennifer Smith
Managing Editor

A proposed grading system
has many plusses and minuses
—— so many in fact, the Univer-
sity Senate has decided to table
it for the second time.

The new grading scale
would call for a plus/minus sys—
tem for all classes in the Col-
lege of Arts and Sciences.

Although many senators did
not necessaril have an o inion
on the possible system cfiange,
many did have stron opinions
on whether or not t e change
should be University-wide.

Last ear, the Admissions
and Aca emic Standards Com-
mittee considered an Arts and
Sciences proposal to establish
the plus/minus system for
undergraduates in that college.

After some debate, the com—
mittee recommended that the
change be im lemented on a solar?
University-wi e scale. 5.71.

However, when the it was
brought back to the full Uni-
versity Senate yesterday, it was
onl proposed for classes in the
Co lege of Arts and Sciences.

Gretchen LaGodna, chair-
woman of the Senate, said the
reason it was scaled back was
because there was no clear con-

let: poll surveys
people on issues

By Stacy Schilling
Staff Writer

Students in professor Tim Cantrell’s political sci-
ence class at Lexington Community College spent
nine days surveying registered voters on governmen-
tal issues in Kentucky.

The 68 students who conducted the survey spoke
with 1,231 registered voters in Bourbon, Fayette,
Jessamine, Scott and \Voodford counties.

Residents who partici )ated in the survey had to
be registered voters who have voted ﬁve times in the
last 10 elections.

“\Ve do this survey to predict how the election
might turn out,” said political science professor Tim
Cantrell.

()f the participants in the ﬁve counties that took
part in the survey, Fayette’s residents had the highest
percentage of voters.

Fayette made up 77 percent of the voters, while
Bourbon county only had one percent ofvoters.

“It doesn’t surprise me that Fayette County had
the most participation because most of my students
are from this area," Cantrell said.

Students asked all registered voters a total of 11
questions, but Fayette residents were asked two
additional questions.

The ﬁrst question asked how many residents use
the Lexington Bus System. The second question
asked Fayette residents if they are in favor of an
additional levy ofa 1 percent increase in the trans-
portation pro ram and an occupational license fee,
to ﬁnance the us system.

Of all the residents polled in Fayette Coun , 42
percent were in favor of the levy increase whi e 41
percent decided against the increase.

The survey found that only 4 percent of residents
polled in Fayette County are fre uent bus riders and
over 50 percent have never ridden on Lexington's
bus system.

Cantrell said the reason Fayette County residents
were asked the additional questions was because they
will be asked these questions on the ballot in

Saboteurs hit
Amtrak train; kill one

HYDER, Ariz. —— Saboteurs calling themselves
“Sons ofGestapo” pulled 29 spikes from a stretch
of railroad track, sending an Amtrak train hurtling
off a bridge into a dry stream bed yesterday,
authorities said. One person was killed and about
101) were injured.

A note found outside the train in a remote
expanse of desert referred to the federal sieges at
\\'aco, Texas, and Ruby Ridge, Idaho — both ral-
lying cries for right—wing, anti—government
extremists.

“That‘s what leads me to believe this is a terror-
ist attack," said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe
Arpaio.

Amtrak’s Sunset Limited, bound from Miami to
Los Angeles with 248 passengers and 20 crew
members, derailed while crossing a 30-foot—high
bridge 50 to 60 miles southwest of Phoenix some—
time after 1 a.m.

Four cars plunged from the bridge at 50 mph,
with three coming to rest on their sides on the
sandy bottom of the desert wash.

One person was killed, 12 were seriously hurt
and about 100 others suffered less serious injuries,
said Sgt. Tim Campbell, a sheriff‘s spokesman.

Earthquake hits Mexico City

MEXICO CITY -— A powerful earthquake
shook Mexico’s Paciﬁc coast yesterday, toppling a
seven—story resort hotel, cracking homes and
bridges and killing at least 59 people, authorities
said.

At least 90 people were reported injured by the
7.6 magnitude uake, which was felt as far north as
Dallas and Okliilnoma City, Okla. according to seis-
mologists. It was the second powerful tremor to hit
Mexico in a month.

The quake struck at 9:37 a.m. and was centered
three miles off the Paciﬁc Coast between Colima
and Jalisco states. The tremor lasted about two
minutes and was followed by two small aftershocks.

Forty—four people were killed in coastal commu—
nities in Jalisco, state spokesman Jorge Alberto
Salinas said by telephone yesterday afternoon.

Two more wins.

Two more wins on the road.

Two more wins on the road
against LSU and Arkansas.

Add that up and you get the
conﬁdence boost the UK volley-
ball team needed as it prepares this
week to face Southeastern Confer-
ence rival Georgia at Memorial
Coliseum Friday.

“In terms of it being a pivotal
weekend, it was two important
wins for us on the road," said UK
coach Fran Ralston—Flory, down-
playing the victories over the top
two teams in the SEC's “'estern
Division.

“Every weekend is crucial for us
from here on out,” she said.

Especially this weekend, when
the Cats play host to the Bulldogs
in Memorial Coliseum while the
line for Saturday’s Midnight Mad-
ness grows outside.

After defeating Georgia, Alaba-
ma and Auburn last weekend, the
Bulldogs and the \Vildcats were
tied atop the SEC’s Eastern Divi-
sion with 5-1 conference records.

Georgia has the advantage,
however, with a better overall
record. The Bulldogs own a 12—5
mark while UK‘s record stands at
8-8.

Since slaughtering Alabama last
Sunday in Tuscaloosa, Ala., the
Cats have won four straight games,
including last Tuesday's win over
Morehead State.

Most importantly, the \Vildcats
finally turned it on in the clutch
facing a hostile crowd ofabout 550
Razorback fans in Arkansas” Barn-

hill Arena on Sunday afternoon.

After dropping the first game of
a best—of—five match 8-15, UK
walked over Arkansas 15-3, 15-6 to
grab the advantage. The VVildcats'
season—long struggle with inconsis-
tency surfaced again, however, and
UK lost the fourth game 10-15.

just one me left to play.

“Typical y, the team that wins
the fourth game wins the fifth,”
Ralston-Flory said.

But the Wildcats rallied behind
the )lay of senior Molly Dreisbach
(Z9 ills, 16 digs) and Gina Heustis
(17 kills and nine digs) to seal the
match with a 15—11 victory.

“That gave us a huge amount of
confidence,” Ralston-Flory said.

Confidence was something the
Cats may need against Georgia
this weekend.

Notes:

VIn addition to notching two
more wins, Ralston—Flory may
have solved her setter controversy.
Junior Ainsley Grimes started both
games last weekend, producing 73
assists against Arkansas and 36
against LSU.

Sophomore Fiona Bolten, who
began the year as the starting set-
ter, lost the job after nagging
injuries and mediocre perfor—
mance. She sat on the bench for
both games over the weekend.

VDreisbach added more ink to
UK's record books this weekend,
becoming the all—time Wildcat
attack attempts leader with 3,779.
She passed Lisa Bokovoy (1985—
88, 3,73‘) attempts).

Dreisbach also is only 145 kills
away from becoming UK's all-time

ly among the men.

“By the end of last year, every—
body had sort of lost focus,"
Conelly said.

In the off—season, several ofthe
male swimmers quit school, or
transferred, (Lonelly said, Among
these were freshmen stars Sean
(ialegher and Richie King.

Meanwhile senior phenom
Andrew Aitken graduated and cur--
rently is training at Lancaster
Aquatics Center in hope ofmaking
the 1996 Olympic 'l‘eam.

“You can't say that Andrew isn’t
going to be missed," Conelly said.
“but the people we've brought in
should make it less painful for us."

That includes 15 freshmen on a
roster that adds just eight other
veteran swimmers in the NCAA.

Does that cause some concern
for Conelly?

“It did at first, but it doesn't
now," he said. “The new freshmen
sort of revitalized the team."

Swimming is an individual
sport, whose competitors' prowess
rises and falls like the ripples they
create in the pool.

Swimmers train hard everyday,
Conelly said, swimmin ' laps back
and forth. back and fort , back and
forth.

“Basically, the concept is to beat
them up and then beat them up
some more," Conelly said.

The men’s team will depend on
a strong performance from (i—foot-
4 junior Rick Barber, a sprinter.
Conelly expects him to be UK's
first All~American since David
Baron earned the honor in 1972.

In the meantime, six female
swimmers and divers have won
seven All-American awards since
1901. Seniors Tina johnson and

_Ienny Baker took home diving All—

American honors last year, and
sophomore Leigh Dalton earned
one in the 1,()5()-yard freestyle.

And UK diving coach Alike
Lyden expects sophomore Beth
Leake to shatter UK’s diving
records by the end of her career.

But the women's team also must
replace I‘M-l AllvAmerican Kelly
Heath, who graduated last year.

“Not only was (Heath) a talent—
ed athlete, she was a real spark
plug," (Ionelly said.

Heath and her roommate
Margo Lynch, who also graduated
last year, led the team.

Conelly is counting on Dalton
and freshmen Rachel Komisarz,
Emily Grass andjanie Reed to fill
the departed seniors‘ spots.

Both Lyden and Conelly got a
first glimpse of their teams in
pseudo—clunpetition Friday night
during the Blue-\Vhite scrimmage.

Johnson led the divers with
160.87 points. Baker injured her
right arm diving from the 11)-
meter platform, but she should be
able to compete when the Cats
travel to Tennessee on Saturday.

Sophomore Paco Rivera beat
freshman diver Ryan \Voltman—
Lee with a 158.77 point score.

On the swimmers side of the

mances, while others disappointed

After taking a week long hiatus
from competition, the UK football
team is preparing to jum back
into its Southeastern Con erence
schedule when LSU comes to
town Saturday.

“I deﬁnitely think the off week
came at a good time,” offensive
tackle Barry Jones said yesterday.
“\Ve got some people health and
went out and worked on t ings
(LSU) might do against us. We got
a week ahead.”

(in the recruiting road

Since the open date on the Cats‘
schedule corresponded with Oct.
6, the opening day of the high
school recruiting bonanza, the UK
coaching staff traveled to various
locales throughout the state and
nation.

Recruiters are not allowed any
direct contact with the athletes
during the early weeks of the
recruiting process.

The UK coaching staff con—
ducted a meeting Sunday to dis-
cuss the results of the weekend on
the recruiting trail. Curry, who
traveled to Hyden, Ky., to watch
Leslie County quarterback Tim
Couch, said people out in the state
and beyond have taken notice of
UK’s recent good fortune.

The UK coach thinks his team’s
positive, public image can be
attributed partly to television.
Both the Cats’ victories this season
have been televised to large audi-
ences.

The Indiana game was shown as
the Big Ten Game of the Week,
and the South Carolina centest
was shown regionally by Jefferson-
Pilot and nationally by the Prime
Network.

“We’re very fortunate that late-
ly we’ve gotten a lot of television
coverage,” Curry said. “I think it’s
obvious that our program is back
on track. VVe’re headed in the
right direction — not all where we
want to be. But people have
responded well.”

Jefferson-Pilot announced yes-
terday the UK—Georgia game on
Oct. 21 in Athens, Ga., will be
shown as the SEC Game of the
Week changing the kickoff time
from 1 p.m. to 12:37 p.m.

Etc-

The Cats are currently 2-3
overall and 1—2 in the SEC. After

CINCINNATI — The Atlanta

Then there's the Cincinnati
Reds' starting staff M strong from

the left side, way short on playoff

experience. Pete Schourek, john
Smiley and David “'ells all throw
left-handed and all are something
ofa mystery in the postseason.

While the Braves' top three has
a combined 1‘) playoff starts, the
Reds’ trio has a total of five.
Schourek and \Vells had never
started a playoff game before this
year, and Smiley is still winless in
the postseason.

They are the biggest unknowns
in the NL championship series,
which starts tonight, and they

could be the biggest factor in
deciding who heads to the \Vorld
Series. The Reds know what to
expect from (ilavine, Smoltz and
Maddux. The Braves are at a bit of
a dismlvantage.

“I think one thing they have

The starters held up fine during
a three-game sweep of Los Ange-
les, but that felt more like a regu-

ferent.

“You're going to have the
nerves because you’re just one step
away from The Show," \Vells said
after yesterday’s workout. “I think
right now is where it's going to
really kick in and the nerves are
going to be erratic and your
mind’s going to be wandering, so
you’ve just got to do everything in
your power to try to block it out.”
