Campus was buzzing yesterday
with the news that a smoking ban in
state buildings also will affect the
University.

Although a timetable for imple-
mentation of the ban has not been
set. smokers and non-smokers
across UK are arguing about the
possible dangers of second-hand
smoke. expressing divergent view-
points.

During the lunchtime rush at the
Student Center yesterday. a smoker
and non-smoker publicly battled
over the issue:

“Second-hand smoke is highly
detrimental to everyone’s health."
said accounting sophomore Becky
Anderson. a non-smoker. “Those
who smoke should be cautious of
where they smoke and who it af-
fects. Those of us who do not
smoke do not find it enjoyable or
the least impressive. I wish that peo—

The 4-year-old University Stud-
ies Program is getting its report
card.

The University Studies Commit-
tee has asked administrators and fa-
culty to review the program, which
comprises the broad list of require—
ments all undergraduates must ful-
fill. iii an effort to improve under-
graduate education.

Now the committee wants stu-
dents to grade their experience in
the program. said Louis Swift. dean
of undergraduate studies.

The committee is sponsoring two
open forums for students next week
in 206 Student Center. The first will
be Wednesday from 3 to 5 pm.
and the second will be next Thurs-
day from 10 am. to noon.

“What we‘re really after is how
to make the program a better gener-
al education program for all the un—
dergraduates at the University of
Kentucky." Swift said. “We don‘t
have widesscale student representa-
tion yet, and that‘s what we‘re hop-
ing for with these forums. l find
that this is going to be a very im-
portant function of the review pro-
cess."

The committee interviewed
deans, associate deans and other ad-
ministrators last semester and asked
for an assessment of the program.

Strengths of the program as
viewed by the administrators in-
cluded the strong emphasis on liber-
al arts. the importance placed on
writing requirements and the em-
phasis on diversity.

Administrators said the pro-
gram‘s weaknesses included too
many class options. too much em-
phasis on humanities. a mixed qual-
ity of teaching. and confusion and
lack of coordination in the cross-
disciplinary requirement.

Swift sent a letter in December
infonning University faculty of the
administrators' evaluation. and he
asked for faculty to respond to the
assessment. Swift said he has re-
ceived about 50 responses so far.

When the program was estab-
lished in fall 1988 to replace the
previous General Studies Require-
ments. the University Senate stipu-
lated that the program be reviewed
after at least six years. Swift said he
decided to have the review this year
because it marks the first class to
graduate after four years of the pro-
gram.

Swift said the review would be
finished by the end of the semester.
when it will go before the Universi-
ty Senate for approval. Changes
would not be in place until at least
the 1994 school year. he said.

Swift doesn‘t expect any major
overhauls in the program. except
possibly in one area.

“If there's going to be substantial
change. it's going to be in the area
of the cross-disciplinary compo-

See USP. Back Page

ple would be more considerate and
aware of who they harm besides
themselves."

Rob Schumske. however. said
everyone has a right to smoke in
public.

“Smokers are not responsible for
other people's health." he told An-
derson. “if a second-hand smoker
doesn't like the heavy cigarette
smoke, they should leave to a better
surrounding where smoking is al-
ready banned.

“We smokers don’t ask people to
be around us when we smoke. If
the second-hand smoke bothers
you. then get away.“

Schumske and Anderson weren't
the only students letting off steam
yesterday. ()thers expressed various
opinions on the issue. ranging frotn
furiously fired up to calm tutd indif-
ferent.

Some non-smokers fear contract-
itig lung cancer from second-hand
smoke. and they believe smokers
are infringing upon their personal

rights.

“Smoking should be done in pri-
vate. not in public.“ English junior
William (‘ampbell said. “Smokers
are interfering with others' rights."

(‘omputer science junior David
Connely, also a non-smoker. agrees:
“Some people have an actual desire
to smoke. via a chemical dependen-
cy. But when a smoker‘s desires in-
terfere with a non-smoker‘s desires.
the matter becomes a question of
health.

“Since smoke has been known to
have rather unhealthy side effects. l
feel that it is the smokers‘ place to
practice discretion of their habits in
a place where others are not put in
jeopardy."

Some smokers also said they wel-
come the ban because it will en-
courage them to quit smoking.

“I'm trying to quit. so anything
that can help me, I‘m for.“ said (Ty
Alexander. a marketing junior.
echoing the sentiments of others.

Another smoker expressed his iii-

difference toward the policy:

“Who cares about smoking?
We’re all going to die anyway."
said Yasuo ()tsuka. a marketing
senior. “I'll still smoke anywhere.
It does not matter to me."

Meanwhile, the debate between
Schumske and Anderson contin-
ued:

”Well. if not smoking doesn't
hurt anybody. and smoking does.
then wouldn‘t the obvious solution
be not to smoke in public?“ Ander—
son asked.

“'l‘hc solution to not smoke in
public is absurd." Schumske re-
plied. “Smoking is a freedom of ex-
pression. 'lhe great people who
gave us our rights also gave us a
right to smoke. So, we have a right
and it shouldn‘t be taken away.“

Anderson then proposed her own
solution to the debate.

"All smokers should be put iii a
non-ventilated room and just smoke
away," she said.

Festival offers ‘A Touch of Africa’

 

By Kelly Crowley
Contributing Writer

 

While some llK students will
leave Lexington to travel home this
weekend. some students will be
bringing home to lexington.

The African Students Associa-
tion is holding “A Touch of Africa“
Saturday to promote cultural diver-
sity on campus.

The annual event offers all stu-
dents an opportunity to experience
atypical African evening. said Wil-
liam Hare. president of the African
Students Association.

Events include sitting down to a
traditional African dinner. partici-

pating in a fashion show and dance.
and readings of African bedtime sto—
n'es. Those attending also will be
given a chance to wiii authentic Al‘-
rican clothing in a raffle.

“What most students don't under-
stand is that Africa isn't just one
country. but 55 or 56 countries. each
with their diverse cultures." Hare
said.

Hare. an agronom)‘ graduate stu-
dent from Liberia. is one of about 75
African students attending UK.

For these students. going away to
college not only means a change of
address but also a change of culture.

The African Students Association
and events like a “A Touch of Afri-
ca" help "are and his fellow Afri-

  

cans make the difficult tidiiistiiiciit
of assiiniliitiiig .i new ctiiironmcnt.
he said.

“l‘hesc cvciits help us feel less
homesick and give us a sense of
unity and pride tor our culture."
llare said.

The association holds monthly
meetings and encourages all stu-
dents to leam more about Africa.

llarc said he hopes this year's
event will duplicate the success of
the first festival. held last year. At
least 500 people participated and
sampled dishes like chicken curry
from South Africa and biegnets
from 7aire.

After tn'nuning UK‘s lead to six
points with 10 minutes to play last
night, Mississippi State probably
expected one of the Wildcats" stars
to take control.

One of the last people they may
have suspected to take the reigns
probably was Jared Prickett.

But the 6-foot-9 freshmtut for-
ward scored seven points 111 a key

second-half run to help lead UK to
an 87-63 victory at Rupp Arena.

Prickett. who was averaging three
points a gaune. scored mnc points.
while diving zuid scrapping on de—
fense to pick up seven rebounds.

UK seemed to be in for another
of its patented second-half cruises
after jumping out to a 19-point half-
time lead. The Cats trailed 15-12
midway through the first half. But
UK went on a 30-8 run to close the
half leading 42-23.

But State (ll-8) came out shoot-
ing hot and forced UK into several
tumovers to close to 56-50.

'lhe Cats then turned it on as
Dale Brown fed Dent for a jam. fol-
lowed by a trey from Junior Braddy
and five straight front Prickett.

The big spark for UK in the first
half was Ford. who made a four-
point play after being fouled on a
three-pointer. Ford finished with a
garne-high 21 points.

Forward Marcus Grant triggered
the Bulldog comeback with 17
points before he fouled out.

Curry lands 18 recruits

 

By Lance Williams

The first day of recruit signings
for the UK football team started
well. The Wildcats signed 17 pros-
pects yesterday. with an 18th player
scheduled to sign last night.

Curry said that, unlike this past
year's group of recruits, some mem-
bers of this year's group will con-
tribute right from the start.

“if they don‘t start right away.
they will play right away," Curry
said.

The Wildcats were able to take
two highly ranked quarterbacks on
the first day of signings.

Billy Jack Haskins, Kentucky‘s
Mr. Football, comes to UK from
Paducah Tilghman. and Curry also
snagged Matt Hobbie, a 5-foot-11
quarterback from Sarasota. Fla.

included in the list of signees is
Maurece Williams, a 6-foot-2 back
rated as one of the nation‘s top run-
ning backs.

Limbaugh said he stayed on the

Curry cited the addition of assist-

players to Lexington.

Curry said this class is “another
step forward" in his quest to make
UK a championship football school.

“We were able this year to con-

fill every single need, but we came
very close."

Everybody likes a buffet. Every-
body likes to get his fill, whether it
be food or music. With this in mind,
three Charleston, W.Va.-based
bands have crossed the border into
this dark and bloody ground of Ken-
tucky in search of a hungry audi-
ence

Mother Nang, Strawfyssh and
Crazy Jane will lay their musical
spread on the table tonight at Ly-
nagh' s under the touring conglom-
erate name of “New Music Feast. "
which also is the title of a Charles-
ton-only compilation recording that
features the three bands.

“lt’ s appropriately titled Feast
‘cause there‘s no appetizer,” said
Mother Nang lead singer Spencer
Elliott. “Everything is a main dish."

New Music Feast, Volume One,
which is available at Cut Comer
Records, 377 S. Limestone St., is a
smorgasbord of the three bands and
solo artist Todd Burge. The project
was produced by one of Charles—
ton’s most musically correct citi-
zens, John Kessler.

Kessler, who helped finance the
recording project, is the musical di-

 

rector of Mountain Stage, a nation-
ally syndicated program that fea-
tures such eclectic artists as Bela
Fleck, REM and Bob Geldof.

After Mother Nang turned Kess-
ler, the band's producer, on to
Strawfyssh and Crazy Jane, the
project began to gel around Au-
gust

“lt just all came together," Elliott
said. “It was like divine interven-
tion."

“Kessler financed and master-
minded the whole thing," said Jay
Lukcns, Mother Nang‘s guitarist,
“which is a beautiful thing for us.
And he did it out of sheer enthu-
siasm for the music the bands are
playing.”

Lukcns said the idea of the tour
came first, but they ended up work-
ing on the compilation and getting
it done before they started the tour.

FACT: Today abortion IS
a safe, simple procedure.

At EMW Women's Clinic we know that one of your primary
concerns with having an abortion' is safety.

That's why we wanted you to know that a first trimester abor-
tion is one of the safest surgical procedures performed in Amer-
ica today. As safe as a penicillin shot. Safer than a tonsillectomy.
And four times safer than childbirth.

And because the decision to have an abortion is never an easy
one, EMW has specially trained staff to discuss alternatives and
offer support and reassurance without pressure. Abortion and

al admiration and respect.

“We have cooperation with the
three bands," said Crazy lane gui-
tarist Andy Park, who also teaches
geography to seventh graders in
Point Pleasant, W.Va. “That makes
it more possible for larger goals to
be attained rather than shorter kitid
of things."

“I think there’s a lot of strength
in having three of us,” Parks said.
“I think that’s probably the influ-
ence of Lollapalooza —~ bands join-
ing together and creating a more at-
tractive package for consumers

The three bands agreed that being
from West Virginia makes them
stick together as many people carry
crazy, ill-conceived notions about
both the state and its music.

“There's no sense iti us compet-
ing against each other for these
shows ’causc if any one of us
makes it, it‘s not going to do any-

thing but help the others," Lukcns
said. “So, we’re coming to realize
it."

"I think we're all real supportive
of each other," Elliott said. “I dig
both the other bands really better
than most bands l'd listen to, whose
records I'd buy in a store."

As far as the music of the three
bands, they all offer progressively-
spiced, guitar-oriented funk ‘n‘ roll.
Each band, however, has a very dif-
ferent sound and presence.

“Crazy Jane’s a little more esoter-
ic," Lukcns said. “Dreamy at times.
Moody. Strawfyssh is sorta crazed
at times, but also really melodic and
rocking heayy. (Mother Nang is) a
hit more groove-oriented."

Registering for classes
over the telephone beats
standing in long lines

 

EDITORIAL

 

After nearly five years of planning, it appears that registration by
phone soon may be a reality for UK students.

The phone registration process will be tested this summer during
advance registration for the fall semester. and it is expected to be

fully operational by the spring 1993

semester. '

to make Add/Drop a smoother pro—

Phone registration is something the University has needed for a
long time. It will mean students spend less time in lines anti more

time in the classrooms.

We're glad the call for this system finally came through,

Place in the military
not guaranteed to all

Columnist Chris McDavid offered
several thoughts worthy of comment
in his column “Let gays serve out-
side the closet" itt the Jan. 26 issue
of the Kentucky Kernel.

First. McDavrd misrepresented
C olorado’s Proposition 2. asserting
that it “bans protection on the basis
of sexual orientation."

Nationally syndicated columnist
Jeffery Hart wrote in his Dec. 28
column that. in reality. the proposi-
tion "renders illegal legislation de-
signed to single out gays as a group
for special protections.“

in the Dec. 15 issue of the Wall
Street loumal. Vincent Carroll. edi-
torial page editor of the Denver-
based Rocky Mountain News. of-
fered his observations on Colorado
voters~ reactions to Proposition 2.

He sorted the newspaper's 100
most recent letters from the propo-
sal‘s supporters into three catego-
ries. He found that one-third cited
moral objections to homosexuality:
one-fourth cited idiosyncratic or un-
classifiable reasons. The remaining
writers (tnore than 40 percent) based
their support of the proposition on
opposition to special rights for any
group of Americans.

()ne individual said he supported
the amendment “not because 1 dis-
like homosexuals. but because 1 dis-
agree with special interests."

Another voter stated that homo—
sexuals “already have equal rights.
They want preferential rights."

Meanwhile. yet another proponent
Wrote: “The sole purpose of (the
amendment) is to prevent the label-
ing of homosexuals as a protected
class as defined in civil—rights legis-
lation."

Carroll concluded that the passage
of Proposition 2 represents a back-
lash againsl the civil-rights estab-
lishment that has. according to Hart.
“relentlessly twisted measures de‘
signed to afford equal opportunity
into programs that favor one group
over another.“

Because McDavid stated that “gay
men and lesbians are. on the whole.
average people who are not asking
for special rights —— merely the civil
rights extended to every other Amer-
ican.“ 1 would expect him to be
quite pleased that the legislation
passed. Instead. he ripped it and the
headers in Colorado." llis stance.
therefore. reflects either a lack of
knowledge regarding Proposition 2
or an intentional misrepresentation
of the amendment.

1 also call into question his refer-
ence to “a 50 percent increase in
hate crimes“ against homosexuals
“in the wake of" Proposition 2. If
“in the wake oi“ is supposed to
them “since voter approval of." I

ftl'cunait agaicics live had time to

let alone to report them.

Finally. and perhaps most disturb-
ingly. McDavid fell into the trap so
many of us young Americans (in-
cluding myself) fall into: He had dif-
ficulty puttirtg forth his argument
without resorting to tasteless charac-
terizations of the opposition. i.c.
name calling.

McDavid referred to “pompous
military officers." "ignorant red-
necks" and “educated bigots," These
are awfully strong words for an indi-
vidual who tnost likely tenns him-
self open-minded.

McDavid also described the “il-
logical rantings and ravings" of
those who oppose gays tn the mili-
tary. Well. let‘s exrunine those. also.

Rear Admiral James li. Forrest.
executive director of the Naval Re-
serve Association. said: “Everyone
concurs homosexuals can do a good
job. But a good military mart does
not want to sleep in the same room
or ‘hot bed‘ (taking turns sleeping in
the same bunks) with a homosexu-
a1."

Admiral 'lhomas J. Moorer. re-
tired chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff. asserted that the military is not
a democracy. nor a place for societal
experiments.

“The purpose of the Defense De-
partment is to defend the United
States and look after its interests
worldwide. and anything that de-
grades combat readiness and the ca-
pacity to fight should not be adopt-
ed." he said.

These feelings extend beyond
“pompous military officers,“ Secre-
tary of Defense Les Aspin reported-
ly told President Clinton that Con-
gress would not support an
executive order lifting the ban on
gays in the military.

This opposition also extends be-
yond party lines. Both Senate Mi-
nority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kansas)
and Senate Armed Services Com-
mittee (‘hainnan Sam Nunn (l)-
Georgia) exhibit conccm about
