Carolyn Turner carried two degrees from
the University of Kentucky and has spent 26
years in the University system.

But even she can't predict what direction
the school is heading after the Board of
Trustees named Charles Wethington as
UK‘s 10th president yesterday.

“I wanted the best man for the job," said
Turner. professor of humanities at Prestons-
burg Community College. “Maybe we got
him. I don't know."

Like Turner. the University community
expressed mixed reactions. Some contended
that the BOT selection may cause the school
to "lose a lot of credibility.” Others main-
tained that UK would be in good hands.

But all had an opinion.

“l would have liked a better search I
don‘t disagree with the choice — I disagree
with the choosing." added Turner.

“Nobody but Wethington had a chance

By DAMEL R. WILLIAMS
Contributing Critic

Modem~day ﬁlm noir tends to
bse much of its success, or fail-
ure, on how well the smoke- and
symbol-ﬁlled atmospheres of past
black and white ﬁlms mingle with
the colorful realities and fantasies
presented in today‘s cinema.

However. the successes have
outweighed failures. largely due
to the unique visual twists done in
such noir-like ﬁlms as “Angel
Heart", “Blade Runner” and
“Blood Simple”. The characters in
these ﬁlms are black and white re-
minders of a past genre.

“After Dark, My Sweet" (James
Foley’s addition to modern, dark
cinema) differs from other homag-
es by letting the characters bear
the weight of the genre. instead of
the setting.

Jason Patric’s Collie. Rachel
Ward’s Fay and Bruce Dem’s Un-
cle Bud are present-day people
acting out a noin’sh plot. Their su-
perior performances, not the sur-
roundings, are the focus of the
ﬁlm.

Jim Thompson’s story concerns
an ex0boxer and exsmental patient

(Patric) getting hooked up with an
alcoholic widower (Ward) and a
shifty gutless con man (Dem)
who are trying to pull off a kid-
napping. While the plot is a solid
visible thread running through the
ﬁlm, ittakesabackseattoade-
tailed three-character study that
shows how crime can begin in the
most casual way.

These people are not bad folks.
They don‘t seem desperate and
they’re not motivated by sadism
or utter insanity. They’re just or-
dinary people trying to get by;
people who’ll easily be tempted
by easy money and deceptively
simple vice.

Patric’s acting takes center
stage. and with good reason. His
acting is a perfect reminder of the
many ‘403 and ‘50s gumshoe
ﬁlms that had many characters
saying one thing and meaning an-
other.

His madness seems genuine
only if one takes all of his actions
on face value, but much of what
he says and does depends on
Ward. Dem and the viewer to peel
away the theatrics and get to the
truth.

Ward plays a good drunk who

‘After Dark’ best film noir of year

doesn‘t want sympathy or a cure.
but needs someone to hold on to
during the rough times. Dem has
always been primo at playing
wigged-out men, but this time he
gets to play opposite one, and han-
dles the fear the character has for
the crazy man perfectly.

Foley’s decision to ﬁlm nearly
all of his action in broad, glaring
daylight is a welcome change
from the usual night-shrouded
scenes of shadows and smoke. It
gives all the images a naked, non-
mysterious look that allows a sub-
tlety to occur something that‘s
usually not found in ﬁlm noir.

Foley doesn’t ignore certain tra-
dition, though. Patric’s ﬂashbacks
and quiet, pain-ﬁlled voice-overs
ﬁt right at home with the genre.

The best part about “After Dark,
My Sweet" is its revealing title.
Nothing in the ﬁlm blatantly re-
fers to it, no song plays that has
the words in it and no symbolic
image makes the viewer think of
darkness or sweetness.

It’s nice to see a ﬁlm about hu-
man beings. Thcy seem rare these
days.

Lemonheads’ album lacks intensity, feeling

By KEVIN HORTON
Contributing Critic

LOVEY
Lemonheads
Atlantic

I don’t mean to be overly nega-
tive, really. Lovey, the new release
by Lemonheads, is not a bad album.

As a whole. though, it's not a par-
ticularly good album.

There’s something missing from
quite a few bands working the post-
punk scene today. It’s something
that escapes exact deﬁnition, but the
words “passion” and “soul” do
come to mind. As a rule, they don’t
apply to Lovey.

'lhis Boston trio sounds like
they’re going through the motions.
The playing is technically good for

their sound — a loud guitar, murky
bass and thundering drums —— but it
just sits there. It doesn't do any
thing. Lead singer Evan Dando has
done a decent job in writing the lyr-
ics. but then slurs out the lines like
he could care less.

Perhaps one problem, here, is that
the Lemonheads sound like a band
searching for a direction. There
seems to have been an attempt to
cram every style of rock into one al-
bum. On too many songs. such as
“Year of the Cat,” the band starts
out playing with one style, only to
switch to another halfway through.
That‘s not absolutely wrong, mind
you. but it does become a problem.

On at least three tracks, the Lem-
onheads sound like a bad metal
group. “Ride With Me," “Ballarat”
and “('I‘he) Door” border on awful
for that reason, with the last featur-

ing an excmciating guitar solo by
guest Corey Brennan. These sound
even worse when you compare them
to the good stuff.

The first side features nothing
really notable until the last song.
“Li’l Seed" is funky, righteous and
goes on for a good length of time.
On this pro-marijuana statement,
Dando actually sounds like he cares
about something: “What comes out
of the dirtfl" ell me how it can hurt/
Tell me who it can harm/What
comes off my farm."

So, there are some really good
songs here. Would I rush out to buy
it? No, probably not. but I can listen
to it. This could have been, say, an
excellent EP. Somehow, though,
whatever they were trying to do
here got muddled up.

Ecuadorian
choreographer
using his time
to teach, learn

By LINDA D. GRAVER
Contributing Writer

Mauricio Revelo loves the art of
dance so much that he has dedicated
33 years of his life to studying and
teaching it.

“Ever since I was a little boy I've
loved the dance." Revelo said
through a translator.

UK and the Kentucky-Ecuador
Partners of the Americas have com-
bined forces to bring the choreogra-
pher to Lexington from his home-
land, Quito, Ecuador.

Revelo’s formal dance instruction

began when he was 14. He has been
an instructor at the Institute Nacion-
al de Danza y Teatro for the last 11
years.
Last May he toured the United
States for a month with the Perform-
ing Arts in America Organization,
which led to his current visit in Ken-
tucky. He has been in Lexington
since Sept. 2 and will leave for
home this Friday.

For Revelo, there has been too
much to do and too little time in
which to do it all.

He has spent some time visiting a
local high school and choreograph-
ing a new work by Argentine com-
poser Astor Piazzolla for the Lex-
ington Ballet.

“Speaking next to no English he
had to do everything by demonstra-
tion," said Lisa Elder, Revelo's
translator. “He would yell out the
names of some steps and being pro-
fessional they would know them,
but mostly he just showed them
what he wanted."

Revelo has given seminars in the
folkloric dances of Ecuador at UK
and at Eastern Kentucky University
and he has even lectured in a few
Spanish classes around the UK carn-
pus.

Revelo has used his expertise to
inﬂuence and instruct as many stu-
dents as possible in UK dance class-
es and at rehearsals with the UK
Dance Ensemble.

“It was neat to watch him," Elder
said. “He worked with them the
same way he did with the Lexington
Ballet. Certain steps they know be-
cause all the names are in French."

IIKE LEVENGER/Kemel Stan

Mauricio Revelo is a choreographer visiting UK from Quito, Ecuador.
He is seen here with the UK Dance Ensemble.

Poetry as well as dance are what
interests Revelo and he lists “Sleep~
ing Beauty" and “Giselle" as his fa-
vorite ballets, but choreography as
his direction.

For the Dance Ensemble he cho-
reographed a new dance entitled
“Danzon” which is a stylization of a
work by Aaron Copland. The piece
uses North American music together
with Cuban dance rhythms.

He had a serious but fervent look
as he reﬂected upon his experiences
in the United States. He said that he
felt openness, receptiveness and
warmth coming from the American
people. He is satisﬁed with his work
carried out here with the various
dancers from UK and from the Lex-
ington community.

EClassical duo provide riveting show

:it"

7 " "-'1"'.$","'

By MYRNA MARCA
Assistant Arts Editor

Clayton 'Haslop and Jack Sanders

. provided a riveting variety of songs

for music fans at the Singletary Cen-
ter for the Ans recital hall Friday

2 night.

The two-hour performance of this
violin/guitar duo was the first of
four concerts which comprise the
1990-91 season for The Guitar Soci-
ety of Lexington-Central Kentucky.

_ Haslop and Sanders have worked to-

gether since 1984, and their talents

shone throughout the recital.

The first piece was “Sonate in G

3 minor, Op. 1, No. 10" by 18th cen-
- tury composer Giuseppi Tartini. The

song began what turned out to be an

ironic evening for the Guitar Socie-

""- ty. In many of the pieces guitarist
.4 Sanders provided only an accompa-
' nirnent for Haslop’s violin.

Haslop was extremely passionate in
his performance several times dur-
ing the evening. One example oc-
curred in Mauro Giuliani's “Grand
Duo Concertante. Op. 85 Allegretto
expressive." With his light, precise
touch, Haslop evoked emotion from
the audience throughout the piece,
causing many people to grip their
seats.

Sanders was given a chance to
demonstrate his abilities with solos
from lsaac Albeniz's “Mallorca.
Op. 202" and an amusing collection
of short half-spoken, half-musical
pieces called “Animal Ditties."

Contemporary composer Anthony
Plog wrote this collection for the
duo, and the music was written for
Ogden Nash’s poems. Sanders was
humorous and personable in his de-
livery. His guitar echoed curious
melodic chords throughout the
poems in choice places. Although

he was not given much of a chance
to show his work, he proved to be
an artist in his own right. As a side
note, Sanders assured this critic that
an album is set for next year featur-
ing Plog's “Animal Ditties."

The rest of the concert included
Anton Diabelli's “Potpourri," a col-
lection of Beethoven's most popular
works arranged during the 19th cen-
tury, Bela Bartok's “Romanian Folk
Dances" and Enrique Granados'
“Spanish Dances No.’s 2, 11, and
4 n

The Haslop/Sanders duo conclud-
ed with a successful rendition of Pa-
blo de Sarasate‘s “Carmen Fantasy,”
based on Bizet’s work. Haslop
played the violin straight from his
heart as he depended on quick fm-
gering to produce the familiar
sounds of Bizet. Meanwhile, Sand-
ers was brilliant in his strong ac—
companiment.

The duo, which has been called
“the finest combination of this type"
by Classical Guitar Magazine, hails
from California, where Sanders said
they “cut and paste” different sets of
compositions together to make their
repertoire. This “hodgepodge" tech-
nique obviously works for them.

They have recorded their music
on compact disc for Centaur
Records, distributed by Harmonia
Mundi.

‘Narrow’

a cut above
average
’90 thriller

By MCHAEL L. JONES
Arts Editor

Gene Hackman is an actor who
assures the viewer quality and ex-
cellence.

He consistently gives fine per-
formances in films like “Super-
man,” where he portrays Lex Lu-
thor and in Alan Parker’s
“Mississippi Burning,” where he
is cast as a cynical FBI agent.

In “Narrow Margin" Hackman
does it again. This is a simple, but

solid movie that looks good and

offers a few surprises. It might be

hard for some in a world full of f

Schwarzeneggers and Stallones to
accept Hackman as an action-
adventure hero, but he pulls it off
beautifully.

Hackman is Los Angeles As-
sistant District Attorney Robert
Caulfield. After a lawyer connect—
ed with the mob is killed, he dis-
covers an eyewitness (Anne
Archer) who can finger the mob
kingpin. However, problems arise
when Caulﬁeld accidentally leads
two mob hitrnen to her hiding

PHOTO COURTESY OF TRLSTAR PICTURES

Gene Hackman and Anne Archer star in ‘Narrow Margin.‘

place in Canada.

“Narrow Margin," where Hack-
man portrays Caulfield as an old-
fashioned type hero, is full of wry
one-liners and breath-taking ac-
tion shots. He doesn't hunt the
bad guys down and shoot them.
He out smarts them. In fact, Hack

man never uses a gun throughout
the entire film.

It is obvious that director and
screenwriter Peter Hyams (“The
Presidio," “Running Scared," and
“2010”) was attempting to re-
create the grown-up thrillers of
the late ’40s and ’50s.

What does a good track team offer

Making waves
Ski club hoping to cruise into competition

By SHAWNA CASEY
Contributing Writer

In a completely landlocked state
like Kentucky, it might seem odd to
be able to support a water ski team.
UK, however, does have one.

It was begun in order to promote
water skiing in lexington and sur-
rounding areas.

It also offers students a chance to
compete with area colleges.

Club president Mike Riley feels
that this year's team will be strong
due to the talents of top-notch
skiers, such as team captain J.T.
Pollard and Riley himself.

UK, however, has a disadvantage
compared to learns based further
south.

In the winter, when UK skiers
leave the cold waters for dry land,

their southern competitors continue
to ski.

UK tries to combat this climatic
problem by prolonging the season
with the use of wet suits.

But even with the suits, the skiers
can only ski just so far into the win-
ter.

The club, members say, is not
only for the competitive skier, but
also for beginners.

Jeff Jones. the club‘s secretary,
welcomes new members.

With more participation, the club
can enjoy better beneﬁts on the
whole.

Members are more than willing to
bring a person skiing for the ﬁrst
time and anyone can attend a tour-
narnent.

According to Riley, people who
have experience on skis can learn to

a football program.

All one needs to do is look at the
listofnamesoftheUTgraduatesto
see exactly where Weber is coming
from -— he believes he can help re-
cruit the fastest football players
around.

And head coach Bill Curry be-
lieves him, as he’s seen the process
in action.

Curry, when he was coaching
Georgia Tech, had a recruiting battle
with Tennessee for Willie Gault.

Curry said one of the factors that
led to Gault's heading to UT was its
top-notch track team.

That is one of the reasons Curry is
strongly in favor of a marriage be-
tween UK football and track.

“We’ve talked a lot about building
a total unit —— a family and that is
happening here," Curry said.

lf you watch us play and
know anything at all about us and
you are asked what it is we need,
you’d say speed. "

wants to ski” Riley said.

Jones said it is important for UK
to be well represented. but at times
skiers must hit the books instead.

“Sometimes school has to come
ﬁrst and we have to remember why
we are here in the ﬁrst place,” Jones
said.

Members of the team are hoping
that they can travel south to attend a
water ski camp during spring break
but like other college students, ex-
penses might hold some members
back.

Anyone interested in joining the
Water Skiing Club is invited to at-
tend the meetings each Tuesday at 7
pm. in the Patterson Ofﬁce Tower.

Weber said track will not only
help tn recntiting but also will keep
the football-track athletes toned and
motivated during the off-season.

“1 think track and ﬁeld is a hell of
a good training ground for football,"
Weber said.

“The most basic athletic skill is to
run, and if you are fast you have to
develop that speed and developing
speed takes a lot of training.

“It also gives them short-term mo-
tivation when they aren't playing
football. If you are training in Janu-
ary to compete in a few weeks, rath-
er than several months. you become
motivated. Competition does that."

Currently, the track team is far
from the level it needs to be at to re-
cruit high-quality tracksters.

It is weak. at best.

Without an indoor training facili-
ty. ninners can’t train during the
long. cold months of the year. With
a relatively tiny staff of three coach-
es (including Weber), who all have

backgrounds in long distance run-
ning, potential UK sprinters often
don't give a second look.

But things are beginning to
change for the better.

The UK Athletics Department, un-
der the leadership of CM. Newton,
has committed itself to building a $7
million indoor facility that will al-
low winter training and indoor tour-
naments for the UK team.

Though the facility is meant to
serve many UK sports. the track
tearnwasverymuchinmindinthe
decision to build, said Assistant Ath—
letic Director Kathy DeBoer.

The decision to hold the 1992
SEC Track and Field Champion-
ships also will bring attention to the
UK team.

As far as the depleted staff is con-
cerned, however, UK doesn’t quite
meet Weber's expectations.

Weber wants at least two more
coaches for next year (UT track has
six coaches). while DeBoer isn't set-

ting her sights quite that high.

“We are looking at the possibility
of adding one more staff person it:
the next season,” DeBoer said.

DeBoer, who also coaches the
UK women‘s volleyball team, said
the addition will produce parity be-
tween UK and other track teams.

That’s because of expected staff
reduction legislation produced by
the NCAA Conference of Confer-
ences. she said.

In the meantime, Weber said he
feels the disparity in coaching staff
sizes is not only hurting recruiting.
but also the athlete that chooses to
attend UK.

“You give them a scholarship and
that is good," Weber said.

“But you don‘t have that exper-
tise that a large staff can give you.
If you don’t, you're not helping
them.”

Weber isn’t promising the school
any Willie Gaults in the near future.

But he's giving it his best shot.

for the position of president”

Peggy Gordon Elliott. chancellor
of Indiana University Northwest,
was the other ﬁnalist in the search.

Trustee Jerome Stricker said it
would be a mistake to delay select-
ing a president.

Bratt' s motion failed on a voice
vote The trustees then went into a
50-minute executive session before
voting on the motion to name Weth-
ington president

After receiving the selection.
Wethington entered the board room
with his wife, Judy, his daughter,
Lisa, and his son, Kennan. He
thanked his supporters in the 14
community colleges throughout the
state, calling them “special people.”

Wethington received praise from
board members, including former
Gov. A.B. “Happy” Chandler.
Chandler cited that Wethington is a
Kentuckian, calling him a “survi-
vor" in reference to Wethington’s
loss to Roselle in the last search.

Lohman said he is satisﬁed with
Wethington as president and doesn‘t
fear retribution for his vote yester-
day against Wethington. He said
Wethington was “a close second"to
Elliott tn student meetings with can-
didates.

Lohman said that a week after he
voted against Wethington for inter-
im president. they were working
well together.

“1 have all the conﬁdence in the
world that we’re going to work well
together for the rest of my tenure as
